Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of ulcerative colitis (UC) in elderly patients.Methods A total of 166 cases with diagnosed UC were recruited.The clinical characteristics were compared between the elderly group (n=35,≥60 years) and the young group (n =131,20 59 years).Results The number of male patients were more than female patients in both groups.The incidence of abdominal pain was significantly lower in the elderly group than in young group (P＜0.05).The number of severe patients were significantly lower in the older group than in young group.Severe UC prevalence was 27.5％ (36 cases) in the young versus 11.4％ (4 cases) in the elderly (x2 =3.89,P＜0.05).The prevalence of total colitis was lower in elderly group than in younggroup [31.4％ (11 cases) v,.51.1％ (61 cases),~ =4.31,P＜0.05],however,the prevalence of proctitis is more common in the elderly than in young group.The extra-intestinal manifestations and the ratio of receiving immune inhibitor and operation showed no significant differences between the two groups.Conclusions Compared with young group,there are a lower incidence of abdominal pain,a higher number of severe patients,a lower incidence of total colitis,and a higher incidence of proctiits in elderly group.

Jaundice is a common clinic presentation which can be caused by various benign or life-threating disorders.Charaterization by unconjugated(indirect)hyperbilirubinemia and conjugated(direct)hyperbilirubinemia may help clinic diagnosis and treatment.The reasons causing unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia include hemolytic anemias,ineffective hematopoiesis,malfunction of bilirubin absorption and combination by hepatocytes or hyperbilirubinemia after hepatitis.Moreover,liver excretion disfunction by inherited disease,hepatocellular jaundice,or various obstruction of the duct system can lead to conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.This article discusses the category of jaundice according to different serum bilirubin,which warrants to clarify the cause quickly so that treatment can begin as soon as possilble.

Objective To analyze the clinical effects of sinus tarsi approach with minimal-inva-sive percutaneous screw fixation of calcaneal fractures. Methods From February 2014 to July 2015,28 ca-ses of calcaneal fracture patients(Sanders Ⅰ ~ Ⅲ)were treated with minimal-invasive percutaneous screw fixation via sinus tarsi approach in our department. There were 18 males and 10 females with age ranging from 16 to 68 years(mean,32 years). According to the classification of Sanders,six cases were classified as Type I,twelve as Type Ⅱ,and ten as Type Ⅲ. The Bohler angle and Gissane angle were compared be-fore and after operation. Clinical results were evaluated with the Maryland foot scoring system. Results All the patients were followed up for 14 to 20 months(mean,15. 5 months). Anatomic or almost anatomic reduction was achieved in all patients according to the results of postoperative images. All fractures healed,and the healing time ranged from 4 to 7 months(average,5. 3 months). There was no wound infec-tion,necrosis or bone nonunion. According to the Maryland foot scoring system,16 cases were defined as excellent,10 cases as good,and 2 cases as poor. The good and excellent rate was 92. 8% . Conclusion For calcaneal fractures,sinus tarsi approach with minimal-invasive percutaneous screw fixation has the ad-vantages of small trauma,safe operation,limited complication,and stable fixation,which is a satisfactory clinical treatment.

To study the changes in levels of tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?), interleukin 6 (IL 6) and interleukin 1? (IL 1?) produced by the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), and to investigate the effects of captopril, one of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in active form, on production of these cytokines. PBMC from 35 CHF patients and 12 healthy controls were isolated by density centrifugation with Ficoll Hypaque, and were cultured with captopril at 10 -4 ～10 -2 mol/L in the presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After incubation for 24 hours, TNF ? and IL 6 contents in the culture supernatants were measured by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and IL 1? by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The results showed that PBMC from CHF patients released significantly more TNF ?, IL 6 and IL 1? compared with cells from controls ( P

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of endogenous non coding singlestranded RNAs,which can function as a tumor promoter or suppressor in the development and progression of human malignant tumors.Studies have shown that miRNAs play an important role in the occurrence and development of HCC.Numerous studies have found that the expression of miR-34a in various tumors is reduced and it participates in the carcinogenesis.Currently,the role of miR-34a in the tumorigenesis and development of HCC has attracted widespread attentions.Studies have confirmed that miR-34a can regulate the expression of its target genes and thus affect some key biological processes such as cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and metastasis of HCC.In this paper,we mainly reviewed the recent research progress on the role of miR34a in HCC.

Resistance to adriamycin was developed in an orignally adriamycin- sensitive strain of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in vivo by treament with the adriamycin during 50 weekly passages of the tumor. The results showed that the growth of the resistant line was slower than that of the EAC, total ascites cell volume,total cell number and mean single-cell volume were significantly smaller of the resistant line than those of original sensitive line. Also, itwas found the homogerously staining region and double minute chromosome in the cells of resistant line. The adriamycin-resistant tumor produced cross resistance to vincristine.mitomycin C,and actinomycin D,while section resistance to VP-16. There was no change in the sensitivity of tumor to oridonin.

Objective To observe the pharmacological characteristics of a novel antihypertensive drug iptakalim hydrochloride (Ipt) by dilating large and small arteries. Methods The vasodilating action of Ipt was studied using isolated rat tail artery helical strips and aortic rings. Results The vasodilating action of Ipt at 10 7-10 3mol/L was observed in rat tail artery strips precontracted with potassium chloride (KCl) in a concentration and endothelium dependent manner, but no significant vasodilating effect was seen on rat aortic rings. Ipt-induced relaxation in tail artery was significantly greater in spontaneous hypertensive rats than that in normotensive rats. The vasodilating actions of Ipt in small arteries could be markedly antagonized by glibenclamide, an inhibitor of ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Conclusion The results suggest that iptakalim hydrochloride has a selective vasodilating action in small arteries, and the action is related to activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

AIM Valproate (VPA) is widely used to treat epilepsy. Long-term treatment of women with VPA has been reported to be associated with a PCOS-like syndrome. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of clinically relevant concentrations of valproate on steroidogenesis and steroidogenesis acute regulatory protein (StAR),cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc)and cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom) mRNA expression in human luteinized granulosa cells in vitro. METHODS Human luteinized granulosa cells were isolated from oocyte retrieval of in vitro fertilization procedure and were cultured with DMEM medium and treated with various concentrations of valproate (0, 100, 250 mg?L -1), the culture media was collected after 2 days for progesterone and estradiol measurements by standard radiommunoassay, StAR, P450scc and P450arom mRNA in granulose cells were detected by fluorescent real-time RT-PCR (TaqMan assay). RESULTS Valproate caused significant increase of progesterone (P
