Objective:To investigate the proliferation inhibitory effect of crocin on transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladde(rTCCB). Methods:MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Crocin on the proliferation of T24 cells. Microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of the T24 cells. Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell cycle. T24 cells were inoculated in to BALB/c nude mice to establish bladder cancer model. After treatment with Crocin,the inhibitory effects were observed on the growth of tumors. Results:The proliferation of T24 cells were inhibited remarkably. Morphological changes of cells were observed. Flow cytometric profiles revealed that crocin led to the increase of the cells in G0/G1 phase and the decrease of cells in S phase and G2/M(P

Objective:To investigate whether PLC? gene down regulation by RNA interference(RNAi) leads to inhibition of proliferation in human bladder carcinoma T24 cell.Methods: The shRNA recombinant plasmids targeting to PLC? gene was constructed and transfected into bladder carcinoma T24 cell with Lipofectamine 2000.RT-PCR was used to monitor the validity of specific s h R N A in down regulation of PLC?.Then MTT assay was performed for detecting cell proliferation,the changes of PCNA were analyzed by immunocytochemical method,Electron microscope was used to observe the morphological changes.Results: The specific PLC? shRNA was confirmed to be efficient in silencing PLC? expression.PLC? gene down regulation by the shRNA recombinant plasmids inhibition cell proliferation rate about 78.01%,They were significantly different from that of control group(P

Objective To study the expression of cytokeratin(CK)20 in exfoliated urothelial cells and to evaluate its clinical significance. Methods The expression of CK20 in exfoliated urothelial cells in 40 patients with bladder cancer and 20 subjects with normal urothelium was observed with immunohistochemical methods. Results The positive staining of CK20 in patients with bladder cancer was 52.5%, the expression of CK20 was negative in all controls, the positive rate of expression of CK20 combining with HE staining in patients with bladder cancer was 90%. The expression of CK20 was significantly higher in recurrent cases(80%) than in primary cases(43.3%). CK20 was not related to the tumor grade or stage. Conclusions The results suggested that the method had a higher specificity and therefore CK20 would be a good diagnostic marker.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of L -glutamine gung shimron acid sodium in combi-nation with esomeprazole in the treatment of pediatric peptic ulcer and its effects on immunological function and intes-tinal flora.Methods 120 patients of pediatric peptic ulcer meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups equally.Besides conventional treatments,the control group was treated with esomeprazole,and the observa-tion group was treated with L -glutamine gung shimron acid sodium in combination with esomeprazole.After the course of treatment,the curative efficacy was compared after the eight -week follow -up.Before and after the treat-ment,T lymphocyte subpopulation (CD +4 ,CD +8 ,CD +4 /CD +8 )reflecting cellular immune function,intestinal flora and adverse reactions were compared.Results After the eight -week follow -up,the total effective rate of the observa-tion group was 96.7%,which was significantly higher than 86.7% of the control group (χ2 =3.93,P <0.05).After treatment,levels of CD +4 [(43.5 ±6.6)% vs (40.9 ±6.2)%],CD +4 /CD +8 [(1.72 ±0.38)vs (1.38 ±0.45)] were statistically higher and level of CD +8 [(26.2 ±3.7)% vs (30.1 ±5.0)%]was statistically lower in the obser-vation group in comparison with the control group (t =2.22,P <0.05;t =4.47,t =4.86,P <0.01).As to intestinal flora,the observation group had statistically higher concentration of lactobacillus [(7.5 ±1.3 )LonN /g feces vs (5.8 ±1.2)LonN /g feces],bifidobacterium[(8.3 ±1.1)LonN /g feces vs (6.6 ±1.4)LonN /g feces]in the feces in comparison with the control group after treatment (t =7.44,t =7.40,both P <0.05).During the treatment,there were no severe adverse reactions.Conclusion L -glutamine gung shimron acid sodium in combination with esome-prazole is effective for pediatric peptic ulcer,which can significantly increase curative efficacy,enhance cellular immune function and effectively regulate intestinal flora with minor adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the role of the cough reflex sensitivity and airway neurogenic inflammation in the pathogenesis of cough post infectious(CPI).Methods Capsaicin provocation test and sputum inducing were performed in 10 patients with CPI(CPI group)and 10 healthy subjects(normal control group)to detect the cough reflex sensitivity and neurokinin of sputum.Total and differential cells count of induced sputum was performed.Substance P(SP),neurokinin A(NKA),neurokinin B(NKB)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in the supernatant of induced sputum were measured.The expression of SP,neurokinin 1 receptor and NKA in sputum cells was detected.Results The cough threshold(lg C5)of CPI was significantly lower than normal(1.16?0.61 vs 2.64?0.28,P

Objective To investigate the effect of bronchodilators on dyspnea and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD) at different degrees.Methods 50 patients with COPD from January 2014 to January 2015 in pneumology department of Tongchuan City People's Hospital were selected.According to the standard of Global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD), the patients were divided into mild degree of 14 cases, moderate degree of 18 cases and severe degree of 18 case.The changes of Borg score of dyspnea, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and inspiratory capacity (IC) after received tiotropium bromide inhalation in each group.Results FEV1, FVC, PEF and IC values significant improved in mild, moderate and severe degree groups after received tiotropium bromide inhalation and the values of improvement rate changed significantly with degrees of disease ( P <0.05 ).The improvement rates of FEV1, FVC and IC were highest in patients at severe degree, improvement rate of PEF was highest in patients at mild degree (P<0.05).After received tiotropium bromide inhalation, the Borg score improved significantly compared with that of pre-treatment in mild, moderate and severe degree groups (P<0.05), the improvement rate of Borg score was highest in severe degree group(P<0.05).There were significantly positive correlations between Borg score and FEV1(r=0.372),FVC(r=0.296),PEF(r=0.284),IC(r=0.704)(all P<0.05).Conclusion Bronchodilator could significantly improve dyspnea and lung function in patients with COPD, and the improvement rate of FEV1, FVC and IC is highest in patients with COPD at server degree, PEF is highest at mild degree and Borg score is highest at server degree, which need the comprehensive analysis of each indicators for reversibility of airflow obstruction.

Objective To investigate the severity of cough in patients with different etiology of chronic cough and its related factors. Methods One hundred and fifty patients with chronic cough were recruited. The diagnosis of the patients was as follows: 24 cases with post nasal drip syndrome (PNDs), 26 cough variant asthma (CVA), 20 gastroesophageal reflux-induced cough (GERC), 31 eosinophilic bronchitis (EB), 30 atopic cough (AC) and 19 cough post infection (CPI). The severity of cough at daytime and night-time were scored by the doctor and the patient at the first visit. The correlation between cough score and age, gender and course duration of patients was analyzed. Results There was no significantly difference of cough score at daytime among different groups. Cough score at night in CVA group was significantly higher than that of other five groups (all P <0.01). Regression analysis showed that cough score at daytime was significantly correlated with age of patients (P < 0.05), while cough score at night was correlated significantly with gender (P < 0.01). Conclusion Cough severity at daytime in different etiology of chronic cough is similar, while that at night in patient with CVA is higher than that with other etiology.
