Objective To observe the change regularity of IL-1?, IL-6, IL-10 and explore the mechanism of Yingfen syndrome (YS) in epidemic febrile diseases. Methods One hundred and four cases were divided into acute leukemia (AL) group and non-acute leukemia (NAL) group according to different diseases. According to syndrome differentiation of TCM, AL group was classified to 10 cases for Weifen syndrome (WS), 12 cases for Qifen syndrome (QS), and 20 cases for YS. NAL group was classified to 20 cases for WS, 24 cases for QS and 18 cases for YS. Fifteen healthy persons were selected for comparison. The levels of IL-1?, IL-6 and IL-10 in YS, WS and QS of various diseases were observed. Results In YS period, IL-1? and IL-6 increased continuously, while IL-10 decreased markedly, compared with healthy people (P 0.05), while on difference in IL-6, IL-10 between different diseases (P

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxia and sodium cyanide(NaCN)on oxidative stress in rabbit arterial blood.Methods An artificial hypobaric hypoxia chamber was used to simulate 4 000-meter high altitude.Twenty rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups:hypoxia group with high-or low-dose,non-hypoxia with high-or low-dose.The animals in the non-hypoxia groups were operated under normal circumstances while those in hypoxia groups were subjected to chamber in low pressure for 72 h before receiving the hypoxia experiments.Femoral arterial cannulation was performed on all animals under anesthetization with pentobarbital sodium(30 mg/kg,iv)and NaCN(ip)at the doses of 1.5 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg.Blood samples were collected at 10 min before intoxication,and 5,10,15,20,30,60,120 and 180 min after intoxication and blood seperation was conducted.The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD),contents of reduced glutathione(GSH)and malondialdehyde(MDA)were determined.Results The MDA content was significantly increased(P

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of FVIII(factor VIII,FVIII)and VWF (von Willebrand factor,VWF)elevation on the severity, prognosis and inpatient complications such as infections and neuroworsening in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Ninety patients with acute ischemic stroke and 50 pa?tients without ischemic stroke were recruited from affiliated Shengjing hospital of China Medical University between De?cember 2014 and March 2015 . We tested FVIII and VWF levels of all the patients. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were divided into 4 groups:both FVIII and VWF within normal range(FVIII-/VWF-);elevated FVIII, but normal VWF (FVIII↑/VWF-); FVIII within normal range, but elevated VWF(FVIII-/VWF↑); and elevation of both FVIII and VWF(FVIII↑/VWF↑). Results The median of VWF was higher in the case group (1521.88 U/L) than in the control group (1281.77U/L)(P=0.023). Compared with patients with both FVIII and VWF within normal range, patients with ele? vation of both FVIII and VWF had more severe neurological dysfunction(NIHSS at admission>5)(OR=3.643,95%CI:1.258~10.549,P=0.017)and poorer prognosis(mRS>2 at the point of 3 months after stroke)(OR=7,95%CI:2.304~21.266,P=0.001), higher proportion of mRS>2 at discharge(OR=3.797,95%CI:1.346~10.713,P=0.012),and more in?patient complications such as infections(OR=3.913,95%CI:1.115~13.729,P=0.033)and neuroworsening(OR=5.538, 95%CI:1.099~27.908,P=0.038). After additional adjustment for various confounding factors, elevation of both FVIII and VWF was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke(OR=4.495,95%CI 1.012~19.957,P=0.048). Conclusions The elevation of FVIII and VWF is positively associated with the severity and prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke, which may serve as an independent predictor of poor prognosis.

A high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry- charged aerosol detection ( HPLC-MS-CAD) method was established for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of four Lignans in Magnoliae Flos extract. The components were separated on a YMC-Pack ODS-A column (250 mm× 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) by gradient elution with methanol and water as the mobile phase at aflow rate of 1. 0 mL/min. Then the elution solution was routed into MS equipment at a flow rate of 0. 3 mL/min and CAD detector at a flow rate of 0. 7 mL/min by a split ratio of 3:7 for the further detection. The column temperature was 25 ℃ and the detection wavelength was 278 nm. A method was developed for the quantitative analysis of muti-components by single maker ( QAMS) to determine pinoresinol dimethylether, magnoli, 1irioresinol B dimethylethe and epi-magnoli A . Magnoli was selected as internal standard and the relative correction factors ( RCF) of the four Lignans were calculated. The contents of the four Lignans in Magnoliae Flos extract were determined by both external standard method and QAMS. The QAMS method was evaluated by comparison of its assay result and that of external standard method. Under the selected chromatographic condition, the limits of detection of pinoresinol dimethylether, magnoli, lirioresinol B dimethylethe and epi-magnoli A were 0. 34, 0. 55, 0. 50 and 0. 58 mg/L, respectively, while the linear range were within 6. 8-270 mg/L, 11-546 mg/L, 2. 0-101 mg/L and 2. 3-116 mg/L. The recoveries ( n=9 ) were 98. 2%-99. 5%, and the correlation coefficient were 0 . 9995-0 . 9998 . No significant differences were found between the quantitative results of external standard method and QAMS method. The developed method is accurate, feasible, and can be used for quality evaluation of Magnoliae Flos .

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of the rate of fetal urine production rate (UPR) in fetus with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome(TTTS).Methods 22 continuative normal monochorionic diamniotic(MCDA) twin fetuses were selected as controll group.Eight fetuses with TTTS were selected as disease group,and UPR was measured by three-dimensional ultrasound virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) and the rate of UPR in twin was calculated.Results1)The rate of UPR of twin fetuses in MCDA did not vary significantly throughout pregnancy (0.97 ± 0.28).The correlation coefficient between the rate of UPR and gestational age was 0.13,without obvious correlation.2)The rate of UPR-recipient/UPR-donor in TTTS fetuses increased significantly compared with MCDA twin fetus (7.83 ± 2.61,t =6.19,P ＜0.05).ConclusionsThe rate of UPR may be an important index in the assessment of TTTS.

Objective To explore the effect of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide(CEES) poisoning on keratinocyte migration and the regulatory role of microRNA(miR)-34a.Methods MTS was used to detect the viability of cells exposed to CEES in order to select an appropriate dose of CEES exposure in this in vitro model.The protein level of keratin 5 and keratin 10 was detected to assess cell differentiation status .Scratch assay was applied to evaluate cell migration ,and miR-34a silencing in keratinocytes was achieved by transfecting chemically synthesized miR-34a specific miRNA inhibitor.t-ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 levels closely related to cell migration were detected using Western blotting .Results An in vitro CEES exposure model of keratinocytes was established at the optimal concentration of 0.5 mmol/L CEES in the viability test , and this dose was chosen to evaluate cell migration changes .The migration of cells was significantly inhibited 24 h after CEES exposure , accompanied by no changes in morphology and keratin 5/10 levels.Silencing of miR-34a significantly increased the migration of cells exposed to CEES , which could be blocked by adding 5 μmol/L U0126 , an ERK1/2 phosphorylation selective inhibitor.Conclusion Silencing of miR-34a can significantly increase keratinocyte migration and partially reverse the inhibition of CEES-caused migration , which could be mediated by ERK 1/2 pathway activation .

Objective To compare the changes in energy metabolism in 2-chloroethyl ethryl sulfide(CEES)-poisoned bronchial epithelial cell 16HBE cultured in media at different glucose concentrations .Methods Bronchial epithelial cell 16HBE was cultured in high (4.5 mg/ml) or low (1.1 mg/ml) glucose medium and exposed to a sulfur mustard simulant CEES of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 mmol/L.Cell growth and cytotoxicity were tested using MTS .ATP, ADP and AMP were detected by HPLC and the value of ATP/ADP, total adenine nucleotides ( TAN) and energy charge ( EC) was subsequently calculat-ed.Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation-related proteins, COX-10 and ISCU, were detected using Western blotting . Rhodamine 123 was applied to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential using flow cytometry .Results Low glucose accelerated the growth and energy metabolism of 16HBE cells in regular culture , and the contens of ADP , TAN, COX-10 and ISCU in low glucose group were significantly higher than those in high glucose group .CEES exposure (≥0.5 mmol/L) significantly affected cell viability in both high and low glucose groups , with significant difference between the two groups exposed to 1.0 mmol/L CEES.In high glucose group, 24 h after 0.5 or 1.0 mmol/L CEES exposure, the contents of ATP, ADP and TAN were significantly increased , while ATP/ADP and EC decreased .In low glucose group , ADP, AMP and TAN significantly decreased, while ATP/ADP and EC increased 24 h after 1.0 mmol/L CEES exposure.The mi-tochondrial membrane potential (MMP) also changed differently after 0.5 mmol/L CEES exposure.MMP in high glucose group marginally increased at 3 h, and significantly increased at 8-12 h (P<0.05), and returned to normal at 24 h. MMP in low glucose group showed a transient decrease at 5 h (P<0.01), and back to normal at 8 h.The protein levels of COX-10 and ISCU were significantly increased in high glucose group 24 h after 0.5-1.0 mmol/L CEES exposure , but sig-nificantly decreased in low one 24 h after 1.0 mmol/L CEES exposure .Conclusion When 16HBE is cultured at a high or low glucose concentration , the cell growth, stress responses and energy metabolism including MMP , COX-10, ISCU and ATP production are in different status before or after CEES exposure .High glucose could protect against CEES exposure .

AIM:To explore the polarized distribution of M 2 macrophages in the marginal region around lung adenocarcinoma , the marginal/central ratio and their effect on the prognosis .METHODS:Double immunohistochemistry staining was used to determine the distribution and the difference of CD 163 +/CD68 +( M2 ) macrophages in the marginal and central regions in 49 cases of lung adenocarcinoma in situ ( AIS), 11 cases of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma ( MIA) and 57 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma ( IA) in order to explore the effect and mechanism of the polarized distri-bution and the marginal/central ratio on the progression of lung adenocarcinoma .Single-factor Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and multivariate Cox survival analysis were employed to explore the relationship between the polarized distribution of M2 macrophages and the prognosis .RESULTS:Polarized aggregation of M 2 macrophages was observed in the marginal region of lung adenocarcinoma compared with that in the central region , and the difference was significant ( P<0.01 ) . Based on the median level , they were divided into high polarized group and low polarized group .In low polarized group , M2 macrophage count in AIS was not significantly different from that in MIA or IA .However, in high polarized group, M2 macrophage count in AIS was lower than that in MIA and IA in turn and there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01).Single-factor Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and log-rank test result showed that the number of M2 mac-rophages in the marginal region and marginal/central ratio were negatively correlated to the survival time (χ2 =44.71, P<0.01;χ2=21.75, P<0.01).Multivariate Cox survival analysis showed that the high polarized distribution of M 2 macro-phages in the marginal region and the marginal /central ratio were independent risk factors for the prognosis ( P<0.01 ) . CONCLUSION:There is a polarization effect of M2 macrophages on the marginal region of lung adenocarcinoma .The marginal polarization and the marginal/central ratio are independent risk factors of the prognosis .Therefore , it may be an effective method for the evaluation of the prognosis to judge the marginal polarization by preoperative puncture and to deter -mine the marginal/central ratio of M2 macrophages by postoperative biopsy .

BACKGROUND:There are more literature reports about the floating shoulder injury in recent years, but there stil have obvious controversies about the treatment of the floating shoulder injury. Whether choose the conservative treatment or operative treatment is an important issue in face of every clinician. OBJECTIVE:To review the clinical features and present treatment situation of the floating shoulder injury. METHODS: A computer-based online search was performed in the PubMed and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database for the clinical research papers on the treatment methods of the floating shoulder injury from January 1975 to August 2015. The key words were floating shoulder injury, diagnose, treatment method. The articles published earlier and repetitive researches were excluded. Finaly, 33 articles were included for further analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Floating shoulder injury is a kind of severe shoulder injury which is caused by high energy and violence. It is often complicated with severe systemic injury, which should be paid more attention in clinic. (2) The treatment of floating shoulder injury has been controversial, and there is no standard treatment guideline. Conservative treatment and operative treatment can get good outcomes. There are less reports about conservative treatment of the floating shoulder injury in recent years. The outcome of operative treatment may better than conservative treatment. (3) Conservative or simple clavicle fixation can be used for fractures without displacement or with smal displacement. Obviously displaced fractures can be treated with simple clavicle fixation or double fixation of clavicle and scapula, which may have good repair effects.
