Epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with cryptogenic stroke is significantly higher than general population.The close association between cryptogenic stroke and PFO supports the hypothesis that paradoxical embolism is a cause of stroke.However,the detection of PFO alone does not establish the diagnosis of paradoxical embolism in patients with cryptogenic stroke. The risk of ischemic stroke will increase significantly when PFO and other factors coexist.Some studies tave shown that there is significant difference between the MRI lesion patterns in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO in those without cryptogenic stroke,particularly in multiple ischemic lesions.Therefore,it does not support the theory of paradoxical embolism as a cause of stroke in patients with PFO.The PFO detection methods include transthoracic echocardiography,transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and transcranial Doppler (TCD).TCD and TEE have a good consistency.Accordingly,TCD should be recommended as a simple,noninvasive,and reliable technique,while TEE should be only restricted to the selected patients.The treatment options of PFO include antiplatelet drugs,anticoagulant drugs,percutaneous vascular closure,and thoracotomy.Percutaneous vascular closure should only be considered the recurrent events during the medical treatment,the contraindications of medical treatment,and PFO with some anatomical high risks for patients with cryptogenic stroke with PFO before the completion of several large randomized controlled trials.

ObjectiveTo systemically review the effects of timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) on prognosis in septic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods A systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and other clinical studies focused on comparing varied timing of initiation of RRT in septic AKI patients was performed in English or Chinese from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP from January 2000 to July 2014. Data screened were extracted with Cochrane systemically review method, and enrolled literature was collected for Meta analysis with RevMan 5.2 software. Total mortality, 28-day mortality, the total length of hospital stay and intensive care unit (ICU) stay in septic AKI patients with early or late initiation of RRT was analyzed. Funnel plots were drawn to detect publication bias.Results Five retrospective comparative studies with a total of 885 patients were enrolled. Random effect model in Meta analysis showed that there was no significant difference in total mortality between early RRT group and late RRT group [65.7% (226/344) vs. 68.7% (239/348), odds ratio (OR) = 0.71, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.38-1.31,P = 0.27]. The funnel plot demonstrated publication bias. Fixed effect model showed that there was significant difference in 28-day mortality between early RRT group and late RRT group [43.4% (66/152) vs. 55.3% (94/170),OR = 0.59, 95%CI = 0.36-0.94,P= 0.03]. The funnel plot demonstrated publication bias too. The data of total length of hospital stay and ICU stay could not be Meta-analyzed because of different data distribution, but no differences in total length of hospital stay and ICU stay between early and late RRT groups for septic AKI patients were found.ConclusionEarly RRT could reduce the 28-day mortality in patients with septic AKI compared with late RRT, but it did not lower the total mortality.

Objective:To improve the method for isolating platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods:Whole blood was collected from 8 healthy donors and then PRP was separated by both the tube method and the syringe method respectively. Samples were activated to get serum rich-in growth factors (SRGF).Platelets in the SRGF were counted and the level of TGF-?1 was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:The end product of syringe method has both a higher platelet count in PRP (P=0.003) and a higher level of TGF-?1 in SRGF(P=0.041) than that of tube method.Conclusion:The syringe method is an effective method in preparation of PRP.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of the congenital membrane atresia of duodenum(CMAD). Methods The clinical data of 32 cases of CMAD admitted from 1980 to 1996 were analysed retrospectively.Results Of the 32 cases,28 cases had single membrane in the duodenum,4 two membranes;and 6 accompanied with intestinal malrotation, 2 circular pancrease and 1 anal atresia. 24 patients were treated with membrane resection only,2 underwent membrane resection and gastrojejunostomy,6 underwent membrane resection plus Ladd's operation.28 cases were cured,4 cases died.Among the 28 cases discharged,20 cases were followed-up for the period from five months to three years,their sympotoms disappeared, nutrition and development were good.Conclusions Patients with CMAD have vomit, and containing bile in most cases;abdominal erect plain film shows "double bubble sign",and gastrointestinal series can help make the diagnosis.Membrane resection is the best way of therapy,but we should pay attention to correct the double membranes and other deformity,and should strengthen perioperative period management.

The present study shows that mushroom juice exhibits a significanteffect on growth of L. acidophilus in reconstituted skim milk. When 5% - 10% mushroom juice was added in skim milk, they shorten generation time and the rate of lactic acid production was accelerated. After 10h incubation at 37℃ cell counts of L. acidophilus in test groups were much more than in control group, were up to 108/mL.

Objective:To determine the residual formaldehyde fumigation on the surface of pharmaceutical equipments by AHMT method. Methods:The reaction time of AHMT was controlled in 20 min, the solution with sodium periodate was then shaken for 30 seconds and stood for 30 seconds, and then the absorbance at 550 nm was measured. Results: The linear range of formaldehyde was 0. 250~2. 495 μg·ml-1. The recovery of formaldehyde on glass plate, color steel plate and stainless steel plate was (83. 42 ± 1. 48)%(n=3), (83. 63 ± 1. 94)%(n=3)and (83. 94 ± 2. 28)%(n=3), respectively. Conclusion:The method is proved to be convenient and accurate, and is suitable for the determination of formaldehyde on the surface of pharmaceutical equipments.

Objective:To investigate the effects of IGF-1 and IL-1β on the proliferation and apoptosis of cultured human condylar chondrocytes( CCs) of temporomandibular joint( TMJ) . Methods:Cultured CCs were derived from human TMJ condylar cartilage tis-sue, and identified by immunocytochemistry staining. The cultured cells were divided into 6 groups:control group, IL-1β(10 μg/L) group and IL-1 group (10 μg/L) + IGF-1 group (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μg/L, respectively). The cell proliferation ability was de-tected by MTT assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-associated factors Bcl-2, Bax and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins were detected by Western blot. Results:Type II collagen was positively expressed in cultured CCs. IL-1β treatment decreased cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis with concomitant increase of the percentage of early apopto-sis and late apoptotic cells, increased Caspase-3 expression, decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and increased the expression of p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins. Whereas, with 1-100 μg/L IGF-1 pretreatment, the proliferation ability and Bcl-2/Bax ratio of the cells were in-creased(P<0. 05), the apoptotic cells were decreased, the expression of Caspase-3 and p38 MAPK/NF-κB proteins was decreased ( P<0. 05) in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:IGF-1 may inhibit IL-1β-induced cell apoptosis and attenuate the activation of p38 MAPK/NF-κB of human condylar chondrocytes.

In 2015 , policy reforms on centralized drug purchasing system have been released one by one , and the quality of medicines has been highly valued .Centralized drug purchasing system distinguishes different qualities of drugs mainly through bidding grouping , in order to achieve “uality priority”.However , there are yet some existing problems in group bidding policy at present , such as lack of a unified hierarchy , no scientific indicators and so on , which inevitably weaken the leading role of centralized purchasing policy over the quality of medicines .This paper , focuses on the study of group bidding , and the existing main problems are found through the statistical analysis of rel-evant policies introduced in different provinces .Finally, it explores some optimization strategies for “Group Bidding”which is of paramount importance .

Objective:To explore the effects of cysteine-rich 6 1 (Cyr6 1 )on biological behavior of human adenoid cystic carcinoma ACC-LM and ACC2 cells.Methods:The chemically synthesized Cyr6 1-siRNA was transfected into ACC-LM and ACC2 cells.Cell proliferation was measured by the MTT method,the invasive ability was evaluated by Transwell chamber assay,and cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry by double staining with Annexin V and propidium iodide.Results:Cyr61-siRNA significantly down-regu-lated Cyr61 protein expression in ACC-LMand ACC2 cells.Cyr61-siRNA markedly inhibited the proliferation and invasion of the cells, however,there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between Cyr6 1-siRNA and control groups.Conclusion:Cyr6 1 promote the proliferation and invasion of adenoid cystic cancer cells.

Objective To discuss the predictable factors for the occurrence of intraoperative aneurysm rupture(IAR) of anterior circulation aneurysm treated by clipping.Methods The clinical data of 96 patients with 115 aneurysms treated by clipping were retrospectively analyzed.The univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis was performed for the risk factors of IAR such as history of hypertension,pre-operative Hunt-Hess scale,aneurysm location,aneurysm sac,aneurysm dome/neck ratio,aneurysm direction,and operation time.Results Twenty-one patients occurred IAR [18.3 ％ (21/115) of aneurysms,21.9％ (21/96) of patients] during the operation,2 patients died and 94 patients were estimated by Rank scale:0 score was for 66 patients,2 scores was for 10 patients,3 scores was for 6 patients,4 scores was for 4 patients,5 scores was for 6 patients and 6 scores was for 2 patients at 6 months after surgery.Statistic analysis revealed that history of hypertension (P =0.037),pre-operative Hunt-Hess scale (P =0.040),aneurysm direction (P =0.009),aneurysm sac (P =0.010),operation time (P =0.001) and aneurysm dome/neck ratio (P =0.029) were the predictable factors for the occurrence of IAR,while aneurysm location was not included (P =0.198).Conclusion The history of hypertension,pre-operative Hunt-Hess scale,aneurysm direction,aneurysm sac,operation time and aneurysm dome/neck ratio 1.78-2.89 are the predictable factors for the occurrence of IAR and the combination of various factors lead to the occurrence of IAR.
