Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of curcumin on rat cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.Methods The rat model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury was constructed by the suture-occluded method.The effects of curcumin on cerebral infarction range,cerebral water content,neurological symptoms,cerebral histopathological morphology and expressions of PI3K,AKT,p-AKT,m-TOR,MDA,CAT,GPX,SOD,Bcl-2,Bax,Caspase-3 and Cleavage-Caspase-3 were evaluated.Results Cur-cumin had the protective effect on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury,could alleviate the neurological symptoms,decreased the cer-ebral tissue pathological morphological changes and cerebral water content,in addition,which could alleviate the expressions of MDA,Bax,Cleavage-Caspase-3,IL-6,MCP-1 and TNF-αand increased the expressions of PI3K,p-AKT,mTOR,Bcl-2,Caspase-3, CAT,GPX and SOD.Conclusion The curcumin pretreatment has the significantly protective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury,which may be associated with activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway,while suppressing inflammation,apoptosis and oxidative stress.

Objective To Study the clinical characteristics of the :sick sinus syndrome,(SSS) in elderly patients.Methods The disease onset age and causes, natural course and symptoms,dynamic electrocardiography(DCG) and cardiac pacing occasion were reviewed and analyzed. in 50 elderly patients had the diagnosis of SSS.Results The morbidity of SSS had increased significantly in elderly men over 70 years. The ordinary causes were coronary heart disease (CHD),specific SSS and the hypertensive heart disease,cardiomyopathy; and degenerative valvular heart disease etc.The mean natural course were about 10 years.The course of DCG type III was the longest one and the type IV was the shortest. The early symptoms were palpitation, dizzy and weakness,and the late symptoms were transient amaurosis, syncope and the worse cardiac angina and heart failure .The cardiac pacing was predicated by the clinical symptom's severity, which was determinated by both of the severity of bradycardia or sinus arrest and the patient's ability of compensation and adaptation.DCG was the commonly used diagnostic method for SSS in elderly patients.Conclusions The SSS has high incidence in elderly men over 70 and is caused by kinds of deasese,such as CHD and specific SSS,etc.The course is frequently intermittent,hide and very long the disease course. The early symptoms and DCG are atypical. The late symptoms commonly are transient amaurosis and syncope .and the late DCG has four types.The cardiac pacing was predicated by the clinical symptom's severity and DCG was the commonly used to diagnose SSS in elderly patients.

Methods Taking S_3 stain of G. lucidum as test materials and laccase activity of G. lucidum as measurement index to optimize the culture media and liquid conditions through orthogonal test. Results The optimum culture components of media were: Glucose 30 g/L, cotton 0.2%, (NH_4)_2HPO_4 0.66 g/L, casein 0.5%, Tween-80 0.15 mL; the optimum conditions were: initial pH value of medium was 5.5, 75 mL medium was in 250 mL-flask, inoculation was 12.5%, mycelium age was 5?24 h for 9?24 h culture. Conclusion Laccase activity of G. lucidum has been improved remarkably in the optimum culture media and liquid conditions.

Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the fallen leaves of Populus alba × P. berolinensis and the inhibitory activity of salicin derivatives against SGC-7901 cell. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified on the basis of silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. The structural elucidation was performed according to the physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. The inhibitory activity of salicin derivatives on human gastric carcinoma cells SGC-7901 in vitro proliferation was determined by MTT method. Results: Sixteen compounds were isolated and identified as tremuloidin (1), populin (2), chaenomeloidin (3), 4'-O-benzoylsalicin (4), salicin (5), tremulacin (6), poliothrysin benzoate (7), catechol (8), benzoic acid (9), tremulacinol (10), 6'-O-benzoylsalicin-7-salicylate (11), salicylol (12), salicortin (13), 7-O-acetyl-3'-O-benzoylsalicin (14), 7-O-acetyl-4'-O-benzoylsalicin (15), and 6'-O-acetyl-2'-O-benzoylsalicin (16), respectively. The inhibitory activity of compounds 7 and 11-13 on the in vitro proliferation of SGC-7901 cell was indicated by MTT and IC50 values were 71.0, 122.5, 212.7, and 257.8 μmol/L. Conclusion: Compounds 4, 7, 10, 11, 14-16 are isolated from this plant for the first time. Compound 7 shows the inhibitory activity against SGC-7901 in vitro proliferation.

Objective To study the feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy accompanied by simultaneous umbilical hernia repair.Methods Twenty-four adult patients received laparoscopic cholecystectomy accompanied by simultaneous umbilical hernia repair in our hospital from November 2003 to April 2008.An incision was made in navel defect and entered the abdominal cavity under a direct vision.LC was performed by 3-trocar technique.Umbilical hernia was repaired by Mayo' style.Results The operation was successfully completed in all the cases.The operation time ranged from 35 to 65 minutes (mean,48 minutes),the blood loss was 5-30 ml(mean,16 ml),and hospital stay after the operation was 3 -4 days.No patient dereloped wound infection or skin necrosis.No recurreme was found during a 1-to 54-month follow-up(mean,28.6 months).Conclusions Laparoscopie cholecystectomy accompanied by simultaneous umbilical hernia repair is a safe and effective procedure.Mayo repair is simple and effective for umbilical hernia with less fascial defects.

MethodEndoscopic thyroidectomy via breast areola approach was performed in 62 patients, including 16 cases of adenoma, 43 cases of nodular goiter, and 3 cases of thyroid carcinoma.ResultsEndoscopic thyroidectomy was succeeded in 62 patients, 2 cases of cutaneous emphysema, 1 case of light skin bum which diameter was 0.5 cm, 1 case of transient hoarse voice,and 1 case of puncture sinus tract bleeding. There was no converted to open surgery,no hypercapnia, no damage of recurrent laryngeal nerve or parathyriod glands. ConclusionEndoscopic thyroidectomy via breast areola approach is safe and effective,and has good cosmetic results.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) in patients with chronic renal dysfunction at azotaemic stage.Methods Clinical data of 7 patients accompanying chronic renal dysfunction at azotaemic stage treated with LC between May 2004 and September 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.The operation was performed under general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation.The CO2 pressure was maintained at 9～12 mm Hg.The LC was conducted with 3-port technique in 5 patients and 4-port technique in 2.Results The LC was completed smoothly in all the 7 patients.Patients' renal dysfunction was not aggravated.There was no significant difference between pre-and post-operative time in levels of blood urea nitrogen(11.92?4.06 mmol/L vs 12.16?3.76 mmol/L;t=0.50,P=0.633) and blood creatinine(208.62?134.37 ?mol/L vs 204.20?125.53 ?mol/L;t= 0.51,P=0.626).As compared with preoperative levels,the creatinine clearance rates were not significantly changed at 2 weeks after operation in 3 patients(40.03 ml/min vs 45.61 ml/min;32.28 ml/min vs 38.93 ml/min;56.72 ml/min vs 51.60 ml/min).Follow-up checkups for 4～20 months(mean,10 months) showed no aggravation of renal dysfunction.Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a feasible and safe procedure for patients with chronic renal dysfunction at azotaemic stage.

Objective The practical evaluation of Rosco Disk Diffusion method on the clinical antifungal susceptibility test for yeast-like fungi. Methods The Fluconazole susceptibility test was detected by Rosco Disk Diffusion method and NCCLS M27-A broth macrodilution method with 76 yeast-like fungus strains isolated from clinical specimens. Three standard strains were used as the quality control. Results Coincidence rate of the two methods was 90.8%,The sensitive strains detected by one method didn't show resistance in another detection method, and the resistant strains detected by one method yet didn't show sensivity in another.Conclusion Rosco disk diffusion method can be used in clinical detection instead of NCCLS M27-A broth macrodilution method.
