Objective To study the clinical features of upper gastro-intestinal hemorrhage in aged patients and provide information for timely and reasonable treatment for these patients. Methods The clinical data of 100 aged patients with upper gastro-intestinal hemorrhage (group A) were analyzed retrospectively. As control, 101 cases of non-aged patients with the same condition were selected for comparison ( Group B). Results The main cause of upper gastro-intestinal hemorrhage in aged patients was peptic ulcer(39% ) ,but the rate of hemorrhagein gastric ulcer(24. 00% ) was higher than that of duodenal ulcer(15. 00% ). However, in the non-aged patients,duodenal ulcer caused higher chance of upper gastro-intestinal hemorrhage than gastric ulcer. Aged group has higher complications ( 70.00% ) , which was significantly higher than that in non-aged group ( 24.75% ) ( x2 = 41. 27, P < 0. 01). Haematemesis occurred more frequently in aged group ( 28.00% ) thanthat of 7.92% in the non-aged group(x2 = 13.78 ,P <0.01). Most patients in aged group received NSAIDs and anticoagulant to treat complications. Conclusion The primary cause of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage in aged patients was peptic ulcer,with relatively high incidence in gastric ulcer patients,and frequent incidence of haematemesis and complications. Aged patients were recommended to receive PPI therapy.

Objective To investigate whether HBx alone is sufficient to directly transform the nontransformed immortalized human liver cell line QSG7701 and induce hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo,and to explore preliminarily the pathogenic mechanism of transplantation tumor in nude mice.Methods The pCMVX/QSG7701 cells were vaccinated into subcutaneous tissue of nude mice.The pRcCMV2/QSG7701 and QSG7701 Cells were used as control.At the fifth weeks after vaccination,the nude mice were killed to observe whether a tumor was formed.The activity state and food intake of the nude mice was recorded.The texture,volume,and metastasis of transplantation tumor were observed grossly.The transplantation tumor was observed microscopically on the hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining section.Immunohistochemical surfactant protein (SP) method was used to analyze the protein expression of mutant p53 and C-Myc genes.Results The transplantation tumor was occurred in all of the six nude mice vaccinated with pCMVX/QSG7701 cells at the second week after vaccination.No metastatic tumor was found in other organs.Transplanted tumor was not formed in all of the negative control groups.HE staining analysis confirmed that the character of transplanted tumor was hepatocellular carcinoma.p53 and C-Myc proteins were expressed in pCMVX/QSG7701,pRcCMV2/QSG7701,and QSG7701 cells,and their expression levels in the pCMVX/QSG7701 cells were significantly higher than those in the pRcCMV2/QSG7701 and QSG7701 cells,respectively(P ＜0.01).Conclusions HBx alone is sufficient to directly transform the non-transformed immortalized human liver cell line QSG7701 and induce hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo through up-regulating the expression of mutant p53 and C-Myc genes.

The pollution level of PM10 of all the shopping center didn't exceed the related standard. The average mass concentration of PM2.5 in Zhongyuan Supermarket,Commerce Building all exceeded the standard ,and the times of exceeding standard were 1.75 and 0.42. The people volume of flow was more masses, and the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 were more higher. The mass concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 in every sites of the same floor was significantly different (P

ObjectiveTo investigate the culture conditions of skin-derived precursors (SKPs) and to explore a new cell source for central nervous system cell transplantation.MethodCells from skins of juvenile and adult mice were isolated and cultured in serum -free medium, and mechanical methods were adapted to passage these cells and ce lls were identified by immunocytochemistry.ResultsA population of SKPs could be isolated from adult and neonatal skins. They co uld be maintained in vitro for extended periods with stable population doubling, and they were expanded as undifferentiated cells in culture for more than 8 pas sages, indicating their proliferative capacity. About 50?% of SKPs expressed n estin and the majorities of these cells expressed fibronectin when they were pla ted on polyornithine and laminin coated plates. About 5?% cells showed typical complicated neuronal states and expressed NF-M and NSE when SKPs were plated i n serum-containing medium. These cell could also differentiate into adipocytes and fibroblast-like cells.ConclusionsAdult skin contains stem cells capable of differentiating into neurons, adipocyt es and fibroblast-like cells. SKPs may represent an alternative autologous stem cell source for CNS cell transplantation.
