Objective To investigate the expression and significances of DPP-4 and IL-6 in febrile seizures(FS).Methods FS were induced in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats at P14 in a hot water bath by using classical model of hyperthermia-induced seizures.A genome-wide microarray experiment was generated in the rats.The relationship between the differentially expressed genes were analyzed by the method of bioinformatics, and the gene and protein levels of DPP-4 and IL-6 were detected by QPCR,WB and ELISA.Selected 50 children with FS(FS group) and 25 healthy children(control group), and to compare the gene and protein levels of DPP-4 and IL-6 between the two groups.Results Interaction network diagram of differential gene expression showed that there may be interactions between DPP-4 and IL-6.Animal and clinical experiments showed that the DPP-4 and IL-6 gene and protein levels were significantly higher in FS group compared with control group(P<0.05).Conclusion There were high gene and protein expressions of DPP-4 and IL-6 in the FS group compared with the control group.These results indicated that immune and inflammations may play an important role in the FS, and it has provided an attractive pharmacological target for the treatment of FS in clinic.

In this paper, a detailed analysis was made on relevant literatures about bear bile powder in terms of chemical component, pharmacological effect and clinical efficacy, indicating bear bile powder's significant pharmacological effects and clinical application in treating various diseases. Due to the complex composition, bear bile powder is relatively toxic. Therefore, efforts shall be made to study bear bile powder's pharmacological effects, clinical application, chemical composition and toxic side-effects, with the aim to provide a scientific basis for widespread reasonable clinical application of bear bile powder.

Adriamycin (ADM) was encapsulated in multivesicular lipasomes which composed of lipids of eggs origin. The chemothera-peutic activity of the encapsulated ADM was compared with that of free ADM at equal doses in micc bearing SRS lymphoma. The results showed that encapsulation of ADM into lipo-somes resulting in markedly increased efficacy than free ADM. At the dose of 1 mg?kg-1 (every 24 h for 3 separate intraperitoneal injections) , free ADM and ADM entrapped intolipasomes with the same dose had 1. 5 times and 3 times increase the survival time of SRS lymphoma mice respectively as compared with that of the control. The curative rate of mice treated by liposome ADM was 100% on 30 days and 60% on 60 days. The results of LD50 determination showed that the acute toxicity of mice treated by liposome ADM was much less than that of the mice treated with free ADM.

Objective To investigate the factors and rate of the forming of the collateral feeding arteries from inferior phrenic artery(IPA) in hepatocellular carinoma(HCC).Methods IPA was demonstrated on angiographs in 137 patients with HCC during transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE),TACE was performed through diaphragmatic inferior artery(DIA) super setectively.Results Of 137 cases,21 cases underwent TACE through DIA(15.3%),of them 2 cases were recurrent after surgical operation(9.5%),3 cases had the tumor receive blood supply from IPA at first TACE(14.3%) and 16 cases were occured after TACE tow and more times(76.2%).Conclusion Collateral branches originated from IPA are important feeding arteries in HCC,TACE of IPA can be performed with a high success rate without major complications.
