Histamine H 1R antagonists are mainly administered to treat the diseases of hypersensitivity reaction. And histamine H 2R antagonists are mainly administered to treat gastroenteric diseases. But in recent years administered simultaneously H 1R and H 2R antagonists can enhance their effects. Combination of H 1R and H 2R antagonists has good therapeutic effect on hypersensitivity reaction, cancers, asthma, etc, and can eliminate side effects.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the applications of imaging examination on rib fracture sites in forensic identification. METHODS: Features including the sites, numbers of the processed imaging examination and the first radiological technology at diagnosis in 56 cases of rib fractures from 163 injuries were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The detection rate of the rib fractures within 14 days was 65.6%. The initial detection rate of anterior rib fracture proceeded by X-ray was 76.2%, then 90.5% detected at a second time X-ray, while the detection rate of CT was 66.7% and 80.0%, respectively. The initial detec- tion rate of rib fracture in axillary section proceeded by X-ray was 27.6%, then 58.6% detected at a second time X-ray, while the detection rate of CT was 54.3% and 80.4%, respectively. The initial detection rate of posterior rib fracture proceeded by X-ray was 63.6%, then 81.8% detected at a second time X-ray, while the detection rate of CT was 50.0% and 70.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION It is important to pay attention to the use of combined imaging examinations and the follow-up results. In the cases of suspicious for rib fracture in axillary section, CT examination is suggested in such false X-ray negative cases.

Objective To explore the relationship between KISS-1 gene and metastasis of bladder carcinoma,and to study the effect of the stable expression of KISS-1 gene on the invasion of bladder carcinoma cell line T24.Methods Fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of KISS-1 mRNA in primary bladder carcinoma without metastasis and primary bladder carcinoma with metastasis.Recombinant vector pIRES2-AKS-1 was constructed and transfected into T24 cells.Single clone of stably transfected cells was screened,and the changes in the invasive ability of T24 cells was detected after transfection.Results The expression level of KISS-1 mRNA in primary bladder carcinoma with metastasis was significantly lower than that in primary bladder carcinoma without metastasis(P＜0.05).The expression of KISS-1 protein in the single clone of stably transfected cells increased significantly,and the invasive ability significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion KISS-1 gene is correlated with the metastasis of bladder carcinoma,and the up-regulated expression of KISS-1 gene can inhibite the invasiveness of T24 cell line.

Objectives To observe the expression of death receptor 6 (DR6) in neonatal rats with hypoxia-ischemia brain damage (HIBD). Methods HIBD was induced in day 7 rats. The expression of DR6 at 24 h, 72 h and 7 d after HIBD and the expression of Caspase-3 at 24 h were evaluated by immunostaining. The injury of neural cells was evaluated by cresyl violet at 7 d after HIBD. The cognitive function was evaluated by T-maze test at 60 d after HIBD. Results DR6 positive cells were the most abundant in the ipsilateral cortex at 24 h after HIBD, and decreased gradually at 72 h and 7 d after HIBD. There was signiifcant difference of the expression of DR6 among different time points in HIBD group (P<0.01). Compared with control group, DR6 positive cells were more abundant in the ipsilateral cortex at 24 h and 72 h after HIBD (P<0.01) and caspase-3 positive cells were more abundant in the ipsilateral cortex at 24 h after HIBD (P<0.05). The number of cortical neurons were decreased at 7 d after HIBD as compared with control group (P<0.05). The T-maze test showed there was decline of the cognition in HIBD group com-pared with control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The DR6 signaling pathway plays an important role in cerebral cortex injury which may lead to the subsequent neurofunctional deifcits in neonatal HIBD rats.

Objective To study the demographics and background of attempted suicide individuals,such as age,gender,mode of suicide,seasonality,etc.so as to improve prevention strategy.Methods By sequential sampling analysis,there were data of 895 survivors from committed suicide taken from 907 attempted suicide individuals recorded in an emergency room of a local hospital between 2002 and 2008 for retrospectively study.Results The sample was composed of 191 males and 704 females with a male to female ratio of 1∶3.69.The adolescents and young adults aged 15-34 years accounted for the vast majority of attempted suicide individuals with the peak at the age of 24 years.The number of committed suicide remarkably reduced after the age of 47 years.The major mode of committed suicide was ingestion of poisons.The incidence of committed suicide declined significantly from 2002 to 2005,and then increased between 2005 and 2008.It was more often occurred in the seasons of Spring and Summer. Conclusions Age,gender,and seasonality are associated with attempted suicide in china,and these risk faetors should be the focuses of suicide prevention in China.Additionally,control of pesticides and psychological intervention should be the parts of the work to prevent suicide in the this cohort of special individuals with propensity of committed suicide.

Objective To have a general picture the history and existing problems of independent clinical labs in China, for the purpose of building a supervision mechanism for such novel clinical institutions-clinical labs. Methods By way of the nationwide network of clinical labs, ICLs in China were surveyed with written questionnaires and field check. Results ICLs have grown into a greater and diversified scale thanks to the development of China's economy and laboratory technology. However,such vulnerabilities as unbalanced staff ratio, full-range quality control bugs, cutthroat competition,asymmetrical information disclosure, and bio-safety have loomed large in the meantime. Conclsion It is time to formulate a stricter industry access system and appropriate regulatory modes; ICLs should take a good care of the "Four relations" in their development, and health regulators should play a tighter role in the "Four supervisions". All these aim at better sharing medical resources, and building a win-win environment for the people, hospitals and ICLs.

Objective To investigate surgical treatment for tumor involved inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney.Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with tumor involved inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney who were admitted to Changhai Hospital affiliated to the Second Military Medical University from January 2007 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received preoperative imaging examinations to insure the site and range of inferior vena cava involvement at the upper segment of kidney.Renal cell carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement were found in 19 cases,leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava in 5 cases,leiomyomatosis involving inferior vena cava in 3 cases,adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava in 3 cases,liver cancer involving inferior vena cava in 2 cases,right adrenal pheochromocytomas in 2 cases,retroperitoneal fibrosarcoma involving inferior vena cava in 1 case.According to tumor involvement types,the different surgical approaches,planes and method of inferior vena cava exclusion,reconstruction method and prevention of tumor embolus detachment were selected.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till May 2015.Results Among 19 patients with renal cell carcinomas with inferior vena cava involvement,10 patients were placed inferior vena cava filters through internal jugular vein before surgery,10 patients underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion and 9 patients underwent intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion.All the 19 patients received tumor resection and inferior vena cava embolectomy.Of the 5 patients with leiomyosar-comas of inferior vena cava,3 patients underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion and 2 patients underwent intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion.The diseased segments of 5 patients were resected,including 4 patients of artificial vascular graft and 1 patient complicated with resection of right kidney receiving simple ligation of inferior vena cava and left renal vein at proximal and distal tumors.Of the 3 patients with leiomyomatosis involving inferior vena cava,2 patients received total hepatic vascular exclusion and 1 was treated surgically under cardiopulmonary bypass.All the 3 patients underwent inferior vena cava embolectomy and hysterectomy.Three patients with adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava and 2 patients with liver cancer involving inferior vena cava underwent total hepatic vascular exclusion.Among the 5 patients,4 had direct suture after tumor removal combined with partial inferior vena cava resection,and 1 had patch repair after partial inferior vena cava resection.Two patients with right adrenal pheochromocytomas were exposed proximal and distal lifting devices of inferior vena cava without clamp,and the tumors were peeled off completely.Intraoperative death happened in the patient with retroperitoneal fibrosarcoma involving inferior vena cava who was prepared to undergo intrahepatic inferior vena cava exclusion but encountered intraoperative pulmonary embolism due to tumor thrombus shedding.Thirty-four patients of 35 patients underwent operation successfully without serious perioperative complications and a patient died in the perioperative period.The mean operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 2.8 hours (range,1.5-5.0 hours),2 000 mL (range,400-5 000 mL) and 9.2 days (range,6.0-16.0 days).Thirty-four patients were followed up for a median time of 12 months (range,1-60 months).During the follow-up period,a patient with leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava and 2 patients with adrenocortical carcinoma involving inferior vena cava died of tumor recurrence,a patient with liver cancer had tumor recurrence,other patients were tumor-free survival.Conclusions Inferior vena cava at the upper segment of kidney is not contraindication for tumor resection.The appropriate way to expose,clamp and reconstruct are selected to safely remove the tumor based on extension and method of tumor involving inferior vena cava.

Objective To prepare huperzine A-carrier protein conjugate and determine its immunogenicity for later production of monoclonal antibody against HupA and establishing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) -based detection method for HupA. Methods HupA was conjugated with bovine serum albumin ( BSA) using glutaraldehyde ( GA) method to obtain the HupA-GA-BSA conjugate,and the hapten number in the conjugate was determined by matrix-assisted laser absorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF-MS) . BALB /c mice were immunized with HupA-GA-BSA to prepare the antiserum against HupA. The serum titer and specificity of the HupA antibodies were detected by indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA,respectively. Results The conjugation ratio of HupA and the carrier protein BSA was 8∶ 1. The antiserum against HupA with a titer of 1∶ 62 500 was obtained after immunizing the mice with the conjugate,and the antiserum reacted specifically to HupA. Conclusion The synthesized HupA-GA-BSA conjugate possesses good immunogenicity in mice,suggesting the feasibility of preparing the monoclonal antibody against HupA using this conjugate.
