METHODS: Operational self-transplantation was applied in establishing the rat models. Detection of MMP-2 and COX-2 mRNAs was conducted with hybridization in situ. RESULTS: There were significant differences in the expressions of MMP-2 and COX-2 mRNAs between the untreated group and the high-dose YWNR-treated group. YWNR could reduce the expressions of MMP-2 and COX-2 mRNAs. CONCLUSION: YWNR can treat EM through reducing the positive expressions of MMP-2 and COX-2 mRNAs.

Objective Dynorphins have advantages in powerful analgesic effect, high safety, no respiratory depression and no addiction, which is the emphasis of analgesic research at present. The aim of the article was to explore the expression of lentivirus-mediated rat prodynorphin gene in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells( BM-MSCs) and contribute to the subsequent studies on bio-logical analgesia in cancer pain of rat model. Methods BM-MSCs were isolated and proliferated using the adherence screening meth-od, and further identified by flow cytometry, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation experiments. The PDYN lentiviral vectors in rats were transfected into BM-MSCs after construction. The expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was detected under inversion fluo-rescence microscope and the best multiplicity of infection ( MOI ) of virus was screened by western blot. There are three groups in the ex-periment: blank group, experimental group ( PCDH-CMV-PDYN-EF1-copGFP ) and empty vector group ( PCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-copGFP). PYDN gene was determined by qPCR and western blot, while DYN protein was detected by immunochemical method.Results BM-SMCs were in longspindle-shape and fibrocyte-like adherent growth, most in expression of CD29, CD44 and CD90, and a few in CD45. The oil red-O staining of the induced cells by adipogenic differentiation was positive. The mineralized nodules formed in the induced cells by osteogenic differentiation were orange after alizarin red staining. Flow cytometry detection showed the positive rates of CD29, CD90, CD44 and CD45 were respectively (99.80±0.19)%, (99.62±0.24)%, (96.86±1.27)%, (0.82±0.06)%, while after transfection the positive rates were (99.59±0.34)%, (98.06±1.27)%, (95.23±0.71)%, (10.23±0.59)%, representing no sig-nificant difference before and after PDYN transfection. Lentiviral vector of PCDH-CMV-PDYN-EF1-copGFP was successfully construc-ted after the identification of PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing. The titer of recombined lentiviruses was 5×106IU/mL. The best MOI of lentiviruses was 100 according to the results of GFP and western blot. Western blot and qPCR suggested PDYN gene signif-icantly increased in BM-MSCs after lentiviral transfection ( P<0.05) , and immunohistochemical staining indicated DYN protein also in-creased greatly. Conclusion BM-MSCs are successfully cultured and the overexpressed rat PDYN gene lentivirus vector is also suc-cessfully constructed;PDYN gene is highly and stably expressed and DYN protein is secreted in BM-MSCs.

onclusions Both three-dimensional CT and MR images integrated into an CARTO system can be successfully used to perform catheter ablation for AF and there was no difference in registration accuracy between the two groups.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of humanistic care for medical care integration on quality of life in elder patients with mild cognitive impairment. Method:Seventy patients with mild cognitive impairment in our hos-pital were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=35 ) and control group ( n=35 ) using random number ta-ble. The patients in the control group were given routine care, while those in the experimental group were given hu-manistic care for medical care integration and home visiting once a month besides routine care. All the patients were evaluated by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale ( MoCA) , Activities of Daily Living ( ADL) , and the MOS Item Short from Health Survey ( SF-36 ) during hospitalization, three months and six months after hospital discharge. Result:Three and six months after hospital discharge, the scores of these three scales of all subjects in two groups were significantly higher than those during hospitalization ( P<0 . 05 ) . The scores of the subjects in the experimental group also significantly higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion: For the elder patients with mild cognitive impairment, humanistic care for medical care integration can significantly improve the cognitive function, self -care ability and quality of life. Therefore, it is worthy using in clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of acute hypoxia on the contractile function of isolated small pulmonary arteries in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Seven patients with lung cancer,of both sexes,scheduled for elective pulmonary lobectomy,with no pulmonary hypertension and with normal pulmonary function after examination,were included in the study.Six cases were diagnosed as having moderate COPD.Lung tissues 5 cm away from the tumor tissues were taken during operation and the small pulmonary arteries were isolated and divided into 2 groups:control group (n =7) and COPD group (n =6).The contractile amplitude of small pulmonary arteries was detected using vasomotor tone meter under the state of acute hypoxia.Results Contractile amplitude of small pulmonary arteries in response to hypoxic stimulus was significantly decreased in COPD group compared with control group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Acute hypoxia can further reduce the contractile function of isolated small pulmonary arteries in patients with moderate COPD.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus tuina in treating cervical vertigo (CV).Methods:One hundred CV patients were randomized into an observation group and an acupuncture group by the random number table,with 50 cases in each group.The acupuncture group received acupuncture at Xiang Ba Zhen (eight acupoints on the nape);the observation group received tuina treatment in addition to the Xiang Ba Zhen acupuncture.The two groups were both treated once every other day for 10 sessions in total.The two groups were examined by transcranial cerebral Doppler (TCD) before and after the treatment,and their therapeutic efficacies were evaluated.Results:After the treatment,the mean velocity (Vm) of vertebral artery (VA) and basilar artery (BA) showed significant improvement in both groups (all P＜0.001);there were significant differences in the Vm of VA and BA between the two groups (both P＜0.05).The total effective rate was 100.0％ in the observation group versus 82.0％ in the acupuncture group,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Conclusion:Xiang Ba Zhen acupuncture as a monotherapy or used together with tuina can improve CV,but Xiang Ba Zhen plus tuina can produce a more significant efficacy.

Depressive disorder seriously affects people's physical and mental health.Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for depression,yet,its mechanism is unclear.Therefore,acupuncture's action mechanism in intervening depression was summarized from several perspectives,including morphology and ultrastructure of neurons in depression-related brain areas,function and structure of glial cells,brain functional and structural connectivity,and neuroelectrophysiology.It's discovered that acupuncture can repair the morphological and ultrastructural damage of neurons in the hippocampus and prefrontal lobe,mitigate the functional and structural injuries of glial cells in the hippocampus and prefrontal lobe,strengthen functional connectivity and heal structural connection,and promote neuroelectrophysiological activities,which possibly are the principal mechanisms of how acupuncture works in intervening depressive disorder.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in differentiating benign and malignant tumor of pelvic cavity.Methods From October 2014 to January 2016,abdominal ultrasonography or trans-vaginal ultrasonography were performed among outpatients and inpatients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University.We found 62 cases with pelvic cavity tumors with 64 lumps,which were detected at cystic mass,cystic-solid mass,and solid mass in conventional ultrasonography.We made the diagnosis of all the lumps by performing contrast-enhanced ultrasonography,observing the infusion process and analyzing perfusion pattern,the intensity of perfusion and time intensity curve.By contrasting the diagnosis and the pathologic and long-term follow-up results,we classified the tumors into two groups,benign and malignant.Then we analyzed the time intensity curve and imaging parameters of the two groups.Restlts Among the total 64 lumps,43 was found in the group of benign tumor and 21 in the group of malignant tumor.Sixty-two were proved by pathologic results and 2 were proved by long-term follow-up results.Benign tumors showed that the infusion flowed from the peripheral to the center and enhanced equably and the vessels were regularly shaped.Malignant tumor showed that the infusion infiltrated from the center to the peripheral and enhanced quickly and unequally,and vessels were distorted.In the time intensity curve,group of benign tumors presented a gently slow raise and fall type,and group of malignant tumors showed a quickly raise and fall type.Rise time (RT) of malignant group (7.70 ± 2.56s) was shorter than benign group (11.40 ± 6.77s) (P＜0.05).Peak intensity (PI) of malignant group (16.30 ± 7.41dB) was higher than benign group (12.12 ± 6.70dB) (P＜0.05).Area Under the Curve (AUC) of malignant group (981.65 ± 548.04 dB s) was bigger than benign group (715.22 ± 651.04dB s) (P＜ 0.05).No difference was found between two groups in Time to Peak (TP) and Mean Transit Time (MTF) (P＞ 0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography were 95.2％,93.0％,86.9％,and 97.5％ respectively.Conclusion Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography ean show an eligible blood perfusion and vascularity of lumps.Analyzing perfusion pattern,time intensity curve,and other parameters can improve capacity of diagnosing and differentiating benign tumor and malignant tumor of pelvic cavity.
