Objective To analyze the effect of bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in the patients with hypercapnia overlap syndrome (OS). Method From October 2012 to December 2014, 12 patients with complicated with hypercapnia in the presence of chronic obstructivepulmonary disease ( COPD ) and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), in the respiratory department of our hospital were treated with Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for 10 days , blood gas was analysed and comparedbefore and after treatment. Results After BiPAP application and the day leaving hospital , pHi n each time point significantly decreased (P < 0.05), PaO2 significantly increased (P< 0.05), PaCO2 significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion BiPAP ventilation is an effective treatment in patients with hypercapnia overlap syndrome.

Objective To explore the feasibility of blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI to detect the chronic hepatitis b-induced early kidney injury. Methods Seventeen clinically diagnosed chronic hepatitis b patients with early kidney injury and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this preliminary study. The 17 patients underwent dynamic nuclear renography and then subdivided into stage 1 kidney injury group (n=7) and stage 2 kidney injury group (n=10). All of the enrolled subjects underwent BOLD examination and T2* relaxation rates (R2*) of renal cortex and medulla of split kidney, and the ratio between them (R2*med/cor) were measured separately. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were performed on the control group and chronic hepatitis b patients group (kidney injury stage 1 and stage 2 group) to compare the difference of renal cortical and medullary R2*values and R2*med/cor ratio. ROC curves were used to evaluate the efficacy of renal cortical and medullary R2* values and R2*med/cor ratio to diagnose the chronic hepatitis b-induced kidney injury. Results The cortical R2*values of control group, stage 1 kidney injury group and stage 2 kidney injury group were(16.87 ± 0.74)/s,(17.88 ± 0.73)/s,(20.29 ± 2.87)/s, respectively;the medullar R2*values of control group, stage 1 kidney injury group and stage 2 kidney injury group were (28.07±1.03)/s,(31.14±2.49)/s,(32.81±3.28)/s, respectively;R2*med/cor of the of control group, stage 1 kidney injury group and stage 2 kidney injury group were 1.67 ± 0.09, 1.75 ± 0.16, 1.63 ± 0.13, respectively, and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant (F values were 17.779, 19.170 and 3.439 , all P<0.05). Furthermore, the renal cortical and medullary R2* values of chronic hepatitis b patients were significantly higher than the control group, and the the renal cortical R2* value of the patients in stage 2 kidney injury group was also higher than the stage 1 kidney injury group. The area under curve (AUC) of ROC of the renal cortical and medullary R2*values and R2*med/cor to diagnose chronic HBV hepatitis-induced early kidney injury were 0.903, 0.949 and 0.526, respectively. Conclusion It's feasible and has great value to use renal BOLD MRI for the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis b-induced early kidney injury, and the renal cortex is more sensitive than the medulla to the kidney injury.

Background and purpose:Recently, studies showed that non-steroidal anti-inlfammatory drugs (NSAIDs) could reduce the incidence of cancer. Whether ibuprofen could inhibit the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cells had not been reported yet. In the current study, we investigated the effects of ibuprofen on hepatoma carcinoma BEL-7402 cells and the relevant mechanisms. Methods: Hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells were randomly divided into 7 groups:the control group and the ibuprofen groups (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 mmol/L). The effect of ibu-profen on BEL-7402 HCC cells was measured by MTT method, the cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM), cell vitality and apoptosis were determined by cell analyzer. PCNA, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and COX-2 protein levels were examined by Western blot, and the expressions of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were measured by ELISA. Results:After the exposure to ibuprofen, the suppression ratio of BEL-7402 cells was increased (P<0.05). BEL-7402 cell vitality was decreased by degrees significantly (P<0.05), early apoptosis of BEL-7402 cells was increased (P<0.05), and the G0/Gl phase ratio was increased significantly compared with control group (P<0.05). Ibuprofen effectively decreased PCNA, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2 and COX-2 expressions in BEL-7402 cells (P<0.05), and decreased PGE2 protein expression in cell culture supernatants sig-nificantly (P<0.05). Conclusion:Ibuprofen is effective for inhibiting the proliferations, increasing apoptosis and blocking cell cycles of BEL-7402 HCC cells. The anti-tumor mechanisms of ibuprofen may be related with the inhibition of COX-2 and PGE2 expressions.

Objective To study the risk factors for children with acute central nervous system(CNS)viral in-fection,so that pediatrician may identify children with poor prognosis at early stages of the disease,and provide them with a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods The clinical data of a cohort patients of acute CNS viral infec-tion who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University between January 2010 and June 2013 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. According to Glasgow outcome scale on discharge,children were di-vided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. Clinical data and outcomes were analyzed by using univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis. Results Three hundred and one cases were enrolled,278 (92. 36% )patients were assigned to the good prognosis group,and 23(7. 64% )patients were assigned to the poor prognosis group. By univariate analysis,the patients in the poor prognosis group had longer duration of sickness before admission,longer time of fever,lower white blood cell count in cerebrospinal fluid,a relatively lower calcium level,con-scious disturbance at the early stage,multiple seizures,convulsive status epilepticus,meningeal irritation sign,muscle weakness,severe changes in electroencephalogram(EEG),and abnormal neuroimaging findings(computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging,or both)had significant differences between the good prognosis group and the poor short - term outcome groups(all P < 0. 05). By binary Logistic regression multivariate analysis,factors indicating a poor prognosis during the early stage were conscious disturbance at the early stage(0R = 4. 885,95% CI:1. 523 - 15. 670, P = 0. 008),multiple seizures(0R = 6. 352,95% CI:1. 905 - 21. 178,P = 0. 003),severe changes in EEG( 0R =4. 269,95% CI:1. 708 - 10. 666,P = 0. 002),and abnormal neuroimaging findings( 0R = 9. 740,95% CI:2. 360 -40. 192,P = 0. 002). Conclusions Conscious disturbance at the early stage,multiple seizures,severe changes in EEG and abnormal neuroimaging findings are risk factors for acute viral infection of CNS in children.

Objective To analyze the serum inflammation related factors of influenza A ( induced by sub-type H1N1 virus) patients with epidemic febrile damp-heat syndrome and warm-heat syndrome. Results Fifty-six patients confirmed as influenza A ( H1N1) were differentiated into epidemic febrile damp-heat syndrome ( 36 cases) and epidemic febrile warm-heat syndrome (20 cases) . And then we observed the serum immune globulins IgM and IgG, interleukin-8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-ɑ), tumor growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), lipolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and soluble CD14 (sCD14) levels of the influenza A patients. Results Insignificant differences of serum IgM, IgG, IL-8, TNF-ɑand TGF-β1 levels were shown between epidemic febrile damp-heat syndrome patients and epidemic febrile warm-heat syndrome patients (P>0.05), but the differences of LBP, TLR4 and sCD14 were significant (P<0.05) .Conclusion Influenza A (H1N1) patients with epidemic febrile damp-heat syndrome have higher serum LBP, TLR4 and sCD14 levels than patients with epidemic febrile warm-heat syndrome, indicating that inflammatory reaction is severer in influenza A (H1N1) patients with epidemic febrile damp-heat syndrome.

Objective To investigate the effect of complementary dynamic scalp acupuncture on motor function in stroke. Methods 36 stroke patients were randomly allocated to control group (n=19) and treatment group (n=17). The control group received traditional scalp acupuncture and rehabilitation training, while the treatment group received scalp acupuncture and rehabilitation training in the same time,for one month. Their motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment, respectively. Results The scores of FMA, WMFT and MBI increased significantly in both groups after treatment (P<0.01). The difference of scores of FMA of the lower extremities and MBI was statistically significant between the two groups after treatment (P<0.05), while the difference of scores of FMA of the upper extremities and WMFT was not (P>0.05). Conclusion Complementary dynamic scalp acupuncture is more effective on lower limbs motor function and activities of daily living in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of apoptosis of B cells in the peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The proportions of B cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of 51 active and 30 remission patients with RA and 80 healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry.B cells in the PB of 10 active,10 remission and 10 healthy individuals were isolated by MACS.The apoptosis of cultured B cells,which were collected at 24,48,72,96 h respectively,were assessed by flow cytometry.ANOVA,t test and,Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results The proportions of B cells marked as CD19 and CD22 in the PB of active and remission patients with RA and healthy controls were (26±11)％,(12±8)％,(10±7)％,(26±10)％,(12±8)％,(11±5)％ respectively.The proportions of B cells in the PB of active patients was significantly higher than that of remission patients and healthy controls (P＜0.01).There was positive correlation between B cell proportion in the PB of active patients and DAS 28 and IgG level.The proportion of apoptosis of B cells in the PB with active patients was less than healthy controls.Conclusion The pathway of apoptosis of B cells in the PB of active patients is inhibited,which could increase B cell proportion.Moreover,the high proportion of B cells in the PB of active patients is closely related to disease activity.

Objective:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of XRCC3 on esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) radiotherapy response. Methods:Expression levels of XRCC3 were detected by reverse transcription PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. We knocked down XRCC3 with lentiviral infection in ESCC cells. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytom-etry. DNA damage and telomere dysfunction-induced foci were determined by immunofluorescence. Results:The expression levels of XRCC3 in ESCC cells and tissues were higher than those in normal esophageal epithelial cells and corresponding adjacent noncancer-ous esophageal tissues. Knockdown of XRCC3 in ESCC cells substantially increased the therapeutic efficacy of radiation. We demon-strated that the radiation resistance of XRCC3 was attributed to the XRCC3-maintaining telomere stability, which reduced ESCC cell death through radiation-induced apoptosis. Conclusion: Our data suggested that XRCC3 protects ESCC cells from ionizing radia-tion-induced DNA damage and death by enhancing telomere stability. Thus, XRCC3 can be used as a promising therapeutic target for ESCCs.

Objective To investigate the mediating effect of the positive and the negative strategy of cognitive emotion regulation on the relationship between life events and suicide ideation among college students,as well as the moderating effect of social support on the mediation model.Methods Participants were 2 471 college students in Hunan province,and they completed the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Check List,the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Social Support Scale for university students and the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire for university students .Results Negative strategy of cognitive emo-tion regulation played a mediating role between life events and suicide ideation among college students (β=0.17, t=8.43, P<0.01).Mediating effect quoted 0.28×(0.18-0.05U).Social Support (U) played a moder-ating role on the second path of mediation (β=-0.05, t=-2.47, P<0.05) .When U changed one unit,medi-ating effect changed 0.05 unit.Conclusion Life events influence suicide ideation through negative strategy, and with social support increasing,the effect of negative strategy on suicidal ideation weakened.
