Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of hemodialysis (HD) combined with hemoperfusion (HP) in the treatment of uremic pruritus.Methods The clinical data of 96 patients with uremic pruritus were analyzed retrospectively.All cases were treated with HD combined with HP.Results Pruritus score before and after treatment was (9.3 + 0.7) scores and (4.9 + 0.6) scores,respectively.And there was statistical significance (P ＜0.05).The erum creatinine,urea nitrogen,parathormone and β2 microglobulin before treatment were (712 ±148) μmol/L,(17.7 ±3.8) mmol/L,(47.1 ±12.4) ng/L,( 27.4 + 5.6 ) μ mol/L,respectively,and after treatment they were ( 324 ± 84 ) μ mol/L,( 7.4 ± 2.3 ) mmol/L,(15.6±5.1) ng/L,(11.1 ±2.2) μmol/L,there were statistical significance (P＜0.05).Conclusions HD combined with HP can effectively lighten the pruritus.It is worthy of clinical application.

The effect of Alternariol Monomethyl Ether (AME), a suspected carcinogen in human being, on the lipid peroxidation in the epithelia of fetal esophagus and stomach was studied. The epithelia of esophagus and stomach of human fetus induced labor with water-bag were treated with AME. Lipid peroxides were measured by thiobarbituric acid test for malondialdehyde (MDA). There was a positive correlation between the values of MDA levels and AME dosaeges. It demonstrated that the lipid peroxdation could be initiated with AME. Lipid peroxidation levels were increased following treatment time elongating. The values of MDA levels in esophagus were higher than those in stomach, which were treated with the same dosaege of AME. It showed that AME had an organ selectivity. These results indicate that AME may be one of genetoxic etiological factors of esophageal carcinoma in Linxian county.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for determining the content of Paeonol in Paeonia lactiflora Pall.. Methods Ultrasound and reflux methods were used to extract Paeonol in Paeonia lactiflora Pall., and then the content of Paeonol was determined by HPLC. It was performed on Agilent column ZORBAX SB-C18 (Stable Bond Analytical 4.6 mm?250 mm, 5 ?m), mobile phase was methanol-water (45∶55), flow rate was 1 mL/min, column temperature was 25 ℃, and detection wavelength was 274 nm. Results The regression equation was Y=1.01?105X-9.84?102, r=0.999 9 (n=5). The standard curve was linear within the range of 0.104～0.52 ?g for Paeonol. Conclusion The method is simple and accurate with good reproducibility. It is suitable for determining the content of Paeonol in Paeonia lactiflora Pall. and control the quality control of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. in process.

Polo-like kinase 1(PLK1)is a serine/threonine kinase which is highly conserved, and its activity is elevated in many human tumor cell lines.Lots of reports have shown that PLK1 is critical for all stages of mitosis.The newest report finds that PLK1 is required for DNA synthesis, maintenance of DNA integrity, and prevention of cell death.PLK1 physically binds to the tumor suppressor p53 in mammalian cultured cells, and inhibits its transactivation activity as well as its function in activate checkpoint protein and its pro-apoptotic function.Also PLK1 is involved in the development of tumors, and Polo-like kinase1(PLK1)regulates IFN induction by MAVS, breakdown the innate immunity. Various of inhibitors of PLK1 show the feature of high performance and low toxicity, suggesting that PLK1 may be a feasible target for cancer therapy and immunity therapy.

A case of mandibular canine with apical periodontitis and double root canals was treated by CBCT assisted diagnosis and root ca-nal therapy.CBCT distinctly demonstrated the morphology of the root canal system in three dimensions and provided the information of canal varieties,prevented missed canals and conserved dentin.CBCT can guarantee the success of root canal therapy for the tooth with canal vareties.

Objective To investigate the related risk factors of prognosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with lung infection.Methods The clinical data of 84 cases with SLE complicated with lung infection were analyzed retrospectively.Multivariate Logistic regressive analysis was made with death and survival as the independent variable.Results There were 23 out of 84 patients dead,and fatality rate was 27.38％.Multivariate Logistic regressive analysis showed that the urine volume,immune globulin treatment,cyclophosphamide pulse therapy,plasma albumin and SLE disease activity (SLEDAI) score were the risk factors that influenced the prognosis (OR =0.53,0.72,4.29,0.94,1.58,respectively,P＜0.0l or ＜0.05).Conclusions The prognosis of patients with SLE complicated with lung infection is the result of the joint action of many factors.The higher SLEDAI score and cyclophosphamide pulse therapy are the independent risk factors of the prognosis.The increase of plasma albumin level and urine production and immune globulin treatment are helpful to decrease the fatality rate.

Objective To establish a method for the determination of bilirubin in Xihuang capsules.Methods HPLC method was applied and the chromatographic conditions were as follows: Hypersil BDS C18 column(150 mm ? 4.6 mm,5 ?m)with methanol-chloroform-1 % phosphoric acid(84︰9︰7)as the mobile phase.The flow rate was 1.0 mL ? min-1 with the detected wavelength at 450 nm and the column temperature at 25 ℃.Results The calibration curve for bilirubin was linear in the range of 0.01 ~ 0.07 ?g.The average recovery was 98.07 %(RSD = 1.05 %).Conclusion This method is simple,accurate,specific and could be used for the quality control of bilirubin in Xihuang capsules.

Objective To investigate the biological characteristics of neural stem cells from the striatum of human embryos. Methods Neural stem cells were isolated from the striatum of 16-20 weeks human embryos.These cells were cultured to proliferate and then differentiate without mitogens or inductive factors.At various time points the progeny of neural stem cells differentiation were analyzed.Using immunocytochemistry stainings,the biological characteristics of neural stem cells were examined. Results Neural stem cells in the striatum of 16-20 weeks human embryos proliferated rapidly in vitro within the first one month of culture at an average doubling time of 3-4 days.Upon mitogen withdrawal,the differentiation of neural stem cells to neurons exceeded 50%.After 8 weeks in culture,however,the proliferation speed of neural stem cells lowered significantly.The proportion of neurons induced by mitogen removal was under 20%.There were about 20% of cells within neurosphere continue to divide.Conclusion The proliferation and self-renewal ability of neural stem cells in the striatum of 16-20 weeks human embryo is robust.In vitro,the rate of proliferation went down with time,and the ability of differentiation to multiple neural cells varied.The different mitogen factors in media have different effects on neural stem cell.Within neurospheres,neural stem cells are not homogenous,as only a portion of cells can divide.
