Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Dan-Shen Injection in the treatment of acute pancreatitis. Methods Forty-two cases of acute pancreatitis were classified into 2 groups randomly. The control group was given routine treatment. The therapeutic group was given with routine treatment combinat-ing with Dan-Shen Injection. Results The number of normal WBC cases within 7 days was more in the therapeutic group than that in the control group (P < 0. 05). The recover time of amylases in blood was shor-ter in the therapeutic group than that in the control group (P < 0. 05). The incidence rate of complication, the operative rate and the mortality in the therapeutic group were lower than that in the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of acute pancreatitis, Dan-Shen Injection can enhance the therapeutic efficacy, shorten the course of treatment and reduce the incidence rate of complication and the mortality.

Recently, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) , as it could effectively combine space data (map) and social attributed information (database), has far-reaching impact the development of other disci-plines. Application of GIS as a tool to study epidemiology of breast cancer, can analyze the various factors affecting the distribution of breast cancer, determine their spatial distribution and spatial-temporal trends and spatial clustering analysis, the reconstruction of historical exposure to on-site to monitor the relationship be-tween living environment and breast cancer and thereby help the decision makers in targeted health policy. This paper discusses the application of GIS for breast cancer research progress .

As an increasing threat of women's health worldwide, breast cancer has many well-established risk factors, including early-age menarche, late-age menopause,post menopausal obesity,improper use of hormone therapy and genetic susceptibility. However, these risk factors only account for about half of the incidence and mortality of breast cancer. Recent studies provide many clues that three primary hormone responsive virus: Epstein-Barr virus(EBV), human papilloma viruses (HPV) and mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) may act as important agents of human breast cancer.

Objective We established a model of human breast cancer in nude mice, to discuss the feature of pathology and biology of breast cancer,and give help to establish tools of pathogen research. Methods Human breast cancer cells MCF-7 were subcutaneously injected into the right armpit of nude mice to establish human breast cancer models.The mice were divided into composite group, estrogen group, leptin group and the blank group (30 in each). In the composite group,estrogen and leptin were injected into peripheral region of the tumor daily.In the estrogen group,estrogen was injected.In the leptin group, leptin was injected.In the blank group, physiological saline was injected.Tumor growth was observed, and the volume of the tumor was recorded.The tumor tissues obtained from the mice were pathologically examined. Results (1)The tumor-taking rate of leptin group and the blank group were 46.7% (14/30)and33.3% (10/30) ,and the mode is failure.In composite group and estrogen group they were 96.7% (29/30) and 70% (28/30).There was not significant difference between them ( P < 0.05).(2) The differences of average diameter and volume were statistically significant between the composite group and the estrogen group (P < 0.05).(3) Pathology diagnosis was invasive ductal carcinoma. Conclusions (1) Establishing human breast cancer model in nude mice need the stimulation of estrogen. The tumor-taking rate of nude mice has no relationship with leptin.(2) In the study in vivo, leptin as same as estrogen has stimulating effect on MCF-7 cells proliferation.(3) The transplanted cancer cell partly have the pathology and biology features of the human breast cancer cells and give help to establish tools of pathogen research.

In order to study the relationship between Staphylococcal nuclease(SNase) and diabetes mellitus,genetic engineering bacteria E.coli BL21/pET28a-His-SNase was constructed,the expression of soluble extracellular protein SNase was induced and the a preliminary research was made on it.An expression vector pET28a-His-SNase plasmid containing the His-SNase gene was constructed and transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) competent cells.The protein was induced by lactose and purified by ultrasound destruction and Ni-affinity chromatography,respectively.It was then analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.The enzymatic properties for SNase has been preliminary studied as well.Results indicated that the purity of the correctly expressed fusion protein HisSNase was over 85％.SNase showed good activity within a wide range of pH and good heat resistance.This experiment might be a foundation work for the further study on the relationship between SNase and with diabetes.

Objective:To investigate the effects of serum from smoking individuals with periodontitis in the process of Fusobocterium.Nucleatum(Fn)invading KB cells and the expression of matrixmetalloproteinase1(MMP1)of KB cells.Methods:Serum was prepared from 10 smokers with periodontitis(group Y),10 nonsmokers with periodontitis(group N)and 5 periodontal healthy nonsmokers(group H).Serum of 200,400 and 800 μl from the subjects was added to the model of Fn invading KB cells respectively and cultured for 24 hours,the cfu of cellinvaded bacteria was estimated by colony counting.MMP1 protein level in culture supernatant wasmeasured by ELISA.Results:In the 800 μl serum groups,the percentage of invaded cfu was 12.59 ±1.27,8.03 ±0.075 and 7.99±0.14 in group Y,N and H(P ＜0.05)respectively,the concentration(μg/L)of MMP1 in the cultrue supernatant of group Y,Nand H was 400.04 ±21.02,252.57 ±18.89 and 262.47 ±35.29(P ＜0.05)respectively.In the 200 μl and 400 μl serum groups,no significant difference was detected in invasion cfu of Fn in KB cells and MMP1 secrition of KB cells among Y,N and H groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:Higher doses of smokingserum might play a role in the course of Fn invading KB cells and promote the expression of MMP1 secretion from KB cells.

Due to a great amount of data in clinical trials, the data cleansing needs to adopt a variety of measures, including the latest developed visual check approach. According to the different types of clinical data and the different stages in the course of clinical data management, this study reviews 8 types of visual graphics that show the relevance and trend among the data. The series of graphics can rapidly detect abnormal data, monitor clinical research in real-time, make the data management process much easier and improve the clinical trial efficiency and data quality.

Electronic case report forms (eCRFs) instead of the traditional paper case report forms (pCRFs) are increasingly used by investigators and sponsors of clinical research. We include a total of 14 phase III studies (8 pCRF, 6 eCRF) to compare paper and electronic data documentation both quantitatively and qualitatively in clinical studies. The result suggests that adaptions of electronic data capture (EDC) in clinical trials have the advantages in optimization of data capture process, improvement of data quality and earlier clinical decision compared to paper-based methods. Furthermore, the successful implementation of EDC requires accouplements with corresponding data management processes and reallocation of resources.

Objective To observe the effect of single intensive hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on cytochrome C and caspase-3 in rats af-ter permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) very early. Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to per-manent MCAO model using the intraluminal suture method, and were divided into control group (n=24) and HBO group (n=24). The HBO group stayed in the hyperbaric cabin with a pressure of 0.2 MPa for 9 hours 3 hours after MCAO. They were measured with Garcia scores 3 hours, 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO. Apoptosis cells of ischemic penumbra tissue were investigated with TUNEL 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO, while the level of cytochrome C and caspase-3 were measured with ELISA. Results The Garcia scores increased 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO in both groups, but there was no significant difference between groups (t<2.07, P>0.05). The apoptosis cells were found in both groups 13 hours and 24 hours after MCAO, and less in the HBO group than in the control group (t>6.57, P<0.01). The levels of cytochrome C and caspase-3 were less in the HBO group than in the control group 24 hours after MCAO (t>2.41, P<0.05). Conclusion A single intensive HBO in very early stage may improve neurological function after cerebral ischemia in rats, which may associ-ate with the inhibition of cytochrome C and caspase-3 to reduce cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the potential roles of dexamethasone (Dex) in podocyte motility,and to explore the mechanism of modulating α-actinin-4,nephrin.Methods Podocytes were divided into three groups:Dex group [1 μmol/L Dex +50 mg/L puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)],PAN group (50 mg/L) and normal control group.Scrape wound assay and Transwell migration assay were used to detect cell motility.Filtering ratio of podocytes was measured by FITC labeled BSA.Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to examine the expressions of c-actinin-4 and nephrin.Results From the scrape wound assays,the ability of wound repair in podocytes of PAN group was significantly increased (P＜0.01),and the number of migrating cells in this group also rose (P＜0.01).Compared to PAN group,podocytes in Dex group did not enhance the motility after treatment with the same dose PAN (P＜0.01).Real-time PCR and Western blotting showed that Dex could significantly inhibit the up-regulated expression of α-actinin-4 and nephrin induced by PAN.Conclusions Dex can relieve the enhanced motility induced by PAN.Its mechanism may be associated with the modulation of the expressions of α-actinin-4 and nephrin.
