BACKGROUND:Specific mechanism of stem cel transplantation for treatment of myocardial infarction has been not very clear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of H2O2 METHODS: Twenty-four C57BL/6 mice, 9 weeks old, were randomized into myocardial infarction group, embryonic stem cels group, H-pretreated mouse embryonic stem cels in vitro for treatment of myocardial infarction. 2O2 pretreatment group, with eight mice in each group, which were respectively injected 150 μL PBS, 150 μL embryonic stem cels (1×106), and 150 μL H2O2-pretreated embryonic stem cels (1×106 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the myocardial infarction group, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic inner diameter were significantly decreased in the embryonic stem cels ) at 1 week after modeling. At 3 weeks after transplantation, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic inner diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction of mice in each group were measured by ultrasound. Myocardial colagen content was detected by Sirius red staining and the average colagen volume fraction was calculated. group and H2O2 pretreatment group, while the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Heart weight/body weight, left ventricular weight/body weight, and average colagen volume fraction were significantly lower in the embryonic stem cels group and H2O2 pretreatment group than the myocardial infarction group (P < 0.05). Therefore,in vitro H2O2 pretreatment enhances reduce the post-myocardial infarction myocardial fibrosis and greatly improve heart function.

Objective To explore and evaluate the clinical value of MRI for status of axillary lymph node after neoadju-vant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer. Methods Forty-four patients with 1ocally advanced breast cancer (LABC) were underwent NAC for four cycles. The longest diameter of axillary lymph node (ALN) measured by MRI scan. Val-ue of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and their correlation were compared before NAC and four cycles after NAC. Re-sults of MRI and pathological data for ALN were compared between two groups of patients. Results All patients finished four cycles of NAC. The total response rate (CR+PR) was 72.7% (32/44), and the total non-response rate (SD+PD) was 27.3%(12/44). The longest diameter of ALN was significantly shortened in response group. The longest diameter was (1.37± 1.06) cm before NAC and (0.90±0.76) cm after NAC (P<0.01). The ADC value of the tumor was significantly increased in re-sponse group [(0.91±0.28) ×10-3 mm2/s before NAC and (1.01±0.32)×10-3 mm2/s after NAC, P<0.01)]. There was no signifi-cant correlation between ADC value change (△ADC) and the longest diameter change of ALN (△L, r=0.131, P=0.413). The sensitivity, specificity and Kappa value of ALN evaluation after NAC were 100%, 62.5%and 0.68 measured by MRI. Con-clusion The change of tumor longest diameter reflects the effect of chemotherapy directly. The tumor ADC value of MRI can not be used as an independent indicator of chemotherapy effect of ALN, eventhouth MRI was the sensitive index for eval-uating the status of axillary lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the pharnacoeconomic effect of venlafaxine and escitalopram in the treat-ment of depressive disorders. METHODS:Usingvenlafaxineescitalopramdepressiondepressive episodeantidepressantas key words,retrieved from CNKI,VIP and Wanfang database during base creation date to Dec. 2015,related literatures about venlafaxine and escitalopram in the treatment of depressive disorders were selected. The cure rate of two therapy plans for depres-sive disorders and HAMD score were analyzed statistically by cost-effectiveness analysis of pharnacoeconomics. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in cure rate and HAMD score between 2 groups(P>0.05),so minimum-cost analysis was adopted. The costs of venlafaxine and escitalopram in the treatment of depressive disorders were 772.03 yuan and 935.77 yuan. CONCLU-SIONS:Therapeutic efficacy of venlafaxine is similar to that of escitalopram in the treatment of depressive disorders,but the for-mer scheme is more economical.

Sugarcane bagasse modified by polyethylenimine (PEI) and glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as a carrier to immobilize Clostridium acetobutylicum XY16 in the process of butanol production. The effects of chemically modified sugarcane bagasse on batch and repeat-batch fermentations were investigated. Batch fermentation was conducted with an addition of 10 g/L modified sugarcane bagasse and 60 g/L glucose, resulting in a high solvent concentration of 21.67 g/L and productivity of 0.60 g/(L x h) with the treatment of 4 g/L PEI and 1 g/L GA. Compared to the fermentations by free cells and immobilized cells on unmodified sugarcane bagasse, the productivity increased 130.8% and 66.7%, respectively. The fibrous-bed bioreactor also maintained a stable butanol production during repeat-batch fermentations, achieving a maximum productivity of 0.83 g/(L x h) with a high yield of 0.42 g/g.
