Objective To investigate the effects of differentpiperine concentrationson the prolif-eration and invasion of bladder cancer T24 cells.Methods Bladder cancer T24 cells were treated with different concentrations of piperine(5,1 0,20,40,80,and 1 60μmol/L).Then MTT assay,Transwell exper-iments,and western blot were used to detect the expression of bax and bcl-2,and the proliferation and ap-optosis of T24 cells.Results After a 24-hour treatment of piperine,IC50 value was 38.73μmol/L.With the increaseof piperine concentrations,the activity of T24 cell was significantly inhibited in a dose-depend-ent manner.Westernblot showed that the expression of anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2 reduced,and the pro-apoptotic protein bax increased.Conclusion Piperine could inhibit the proliferation of bladder cancer T24 cells and promote the apoptosis of T24 cells.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of Pediatric Long-term Cough Decoction in the treatment of long-term cough among children. A total of 96 cases were diagnosed in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as qi-yin deficiency, and lung-heat accumulation with constipation. The western medicine diagnosis was mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) infection in the recovery period after chronic cough. All cases were randomly divided into the TCM group and control group, with 48 cases in each group. In TCM group, the Pediatric Long-term Cough Decoction was used to supplement qi and nourish yin, clear away the lung-heat and excrete feces. In the control group, montelukast was used. For both groups, clinical effect of score and CD4+ T lymphocytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were observed one day before treatment and thirty days after treatment. The results showed that after thirty-day treatment, the clinical effect of score in both groups was obviously improved (P < 0.01). The TCM group was better than the control group (P< 0.01). Compared with pretreatment, the posttreatment CD4+ T lympho-cytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in TCM group were obviously improved (P < 0.05). The CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in the control group were obviously improved (P < 0.05). However, there was no change on the CD8+ T lymphocytes. The regulation effect on CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD8+ T lymphocytes of TCM group was better than the control group (P< 0.01). It was concluded that the Pediatric Long-term Cough Decoction can effectively improve clinical symptoms of chronic cough in children and regulate immune function.

Strain NCIMB 10467, a lignin degrader, was reclassified as genus Burkholderia according to its 16S rDNA sequence. It seems that the metabolism of protocatechuate by this strain is diverse under the induction of various substrates. A 9505-bp DNA fragment extending from α conserved region of the gene, which encodes β subunit of orthocleavage protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase(P34D; EC 1.13.11.3),was obtained by genome walking. Sequence analysis revealed two deduced open reading frames, pcaG and pcaH, encoding the α and β subunits of P34D respectively in this fragment. The P34D activity could be detected when pcaGH were expressed in E. Coli and the disruption of pcaH in strain NCIMB 10467 has lead to loss of its ability to catabolize protocatechuate. It was proved that the cloned pcaGH were encoding a functional protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase which was necessary for the protocatechuate metabolism in this strain.

Objective To analyze the MRI features of rare intracranial germ cell tumors of the pineal region compared with pathologic findings.Methods The MRI and pathologic data of 32 patients with rare intracranial germ cell tumors of the pineal region were reviewed retrospectively.All cases were proved by surgery and pathological examinations.Results Fourteen teratomas with malignant transformations were cyst-solidary which were mixed signals on plain MRI and the solid components showed obvious enhancement.The adiposity signals could be seen in teratomas.The level of serum or CSF AFP was high.Microscopically,many tissue components could be seen.The signal of 6 yolk sac tumors were homogeneous,and they had great enhancement after enhanced scanning.Increasing of preoperative serum AFP level could be seen in all patients.The 5 embryonal carcinomas were well-defined margin masses and heterogeneous with cystoid variation and necrosis and moderate to severe edema.The solid components showed obvious enhance.The signals of 7 mixed germ cell tumors were atypical,which depended on the components of germ cell tumors.Conclusion The MRI findings of the rare intracranial germ cell tumors of the pineal region(teratomas with malignant transformations,yolk sac tumors endodermal sinus tumor,embryonal carcinomas and mixed germ cell tumors)show some feature which are correlated with pathology.Suggestive diagnosis could be made combined with clinical data and MRI features.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results of hearing screening and the related factors in 3200 newborn infants, in order to know the incidence of neonatal hearing disorders. METHOD: Three thousand two hundred cases of newborn infants born during 2014-01 and 2015-03 were tested for hearing screening. According to risk factors, newborns were divided into the normal newborn group (2945 cases) and the high-risk neonatal group (255 cases). Using fast brainstem auditory evoked potential (AABR) to screen the hearing screening of newborn infants with 3~5 d; those who did not pass the screening, after the birth of 30~42 d re-screening; re-screening still not pass, within 3 months line diagnostic auditory brainstem evoked potential (diagnostic ABR) confirmed. Comparative analysis of newborn hearing screening by screening through rate, re-screening through rate and hearing impairment rate proportional relationship with the relevant factors, and the differences of hearing screening results in the normal newborn group and the high-risk neonatal group. RESULT: (1)The rate of neonatal hearing screening did not pass was 7.50% (240/3,200); 30 cases was not involved in re-screening, the rate of re-screening did not pass was 15.24% (32/210); hearing impairment rate is about 0.38%(12/3200), and the bearing impairment positive rate was 1.31% (42/3200). (2) There was no significant difference of different delivery mode, neonatal sex in newborn hearing screening through rate, re-screening through rate and hearing impairment rate (P > 0.05). Different gestational age, maternal age in newborn hearing screening through rate, re-screening through rate and hearing impairment rate, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). (3) Screening through rate and re-screening through rate of the high-risk neonatal screening group were significantly lower than the normal newborn group (P < 0.05), and hearing impairment rate was higher than normal newborn group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Strengthen prenatal health care, to reduce abnormal childbirth conditions (preterm birth, neonatal asphyxia), universal newborn hearing screening and improve screening accuracy, and to strengthen newborns with risk factors for early diagnosis and intervention, to reduce the incidence of neonatal hearing impairment has important significance.
