OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism that apoptosis of NB4 cells were induced by artesunate. METHODS: The apoptosis of NB4 cell induced by artesunate was determined by Annexin V-FITC FCM analysis and cytomorphology and the activity of Caspase-3 was determined by ELISA assay. RESULTS: Artesunate could induce apoptosis of NB4 cell with the activity of Caspase-3 increasing. CONCLUSIONS: The apoptosis of NB4 cell induced by artesunate is achieved by activating Caspase-3.

ObjectiveTo explore the prognosis and relationship between soluble differentiation antigen of cluster designation 14 (sCD14) and the injury severity score (ISS) of casualties with multiple injuries.Methods A total of 86 casualties with multiple injuries were enrolled from October 2009 to March 2010,and the severity of trauma of casualties were assessed in ISS score within the first 24 hours after accident,and the patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups as per the outcomes in 28 days after accident. Another 20 healthy subjects served as control group. In multiple injuries group,sCD14 concentrations were detected and APACHE Ⅱ scores were calculated on the 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days after accident.The related coefficient between sCD14 and ISS was calculated and then the values of sCD14 in predicting prognosis were analyzed by ROC curve. ResultsCompared with control group, sCD14 concentrations were obviously higher in casualties of multiple injuries group at all observation intervals ( P ＜0.01). Compared with survival group, casualties of non-survival group had more higher sCD14 concentrations and APACHE Ⅱ scores ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The sCD14 concentration was correlated with ISS and the related coefficient was 0.469 ( P ＜ 0.01 ). ROC curve analysis suggested sCD14 had values in predicting prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries and area under ROC curve was 0.820.Conclusions The concentration of sCD14 is correlated with ISS and can be used for predicting the prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and pseudoaccommodation in the early stage after AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and monofocal IOL implantation.Methods A total of 138 patients (158 eyes) with age-related cataract underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation were chosen,73eyes of 60 patients with a multifocal IOL implantation as observation group and 85 eyes of 78 patients with monofocal IOL implantation as control group.The uncorrected visual acuity,best corrected visual acuity was evaluated at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after operation,pseudoaccommodation and quality of life was evaluated at 3 months after operation.Results The patients of both observation group and control group were able to obtain a satisfactory distance vision at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months.The uncorrected intermediate visual acuity of observation group were 0.49 ± 0.19,0.72 ± 0.21,0.77 ±0.23,which of control group were 0.24 ± 0.21,0.27 ± 0.22,0.28 ± 0.24,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The uncorrected near visual acuity of observation group were 0.47 ± 0.20,0.70 ± 0.22,0.80 ± 0.24,which of control group were 0.21 ±0.23,0.23 ±0.19,0.26 ±0.18,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the uncorrected near visual acuity,best corrected distance,intermediate and near visual acuity between observation group and control group (all P ＞ 0.05).At 3 months,the distance and near pseudoaccommodation of observation group were (2.56 ± 0.82) D,(3.19 ±1.13)D,which of control group were (0.87 ±0.57)D,(1.03 ±0.59) D,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).At 3 months,VF-14 scale score and wearing glasses as near score of observation group were 92.21 ±4.22,4.23 ±0.85,which of control group were 71.23 ± 3.96,2.01 ± 0.71,there were statistical differences between two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion AcrySof ReSTOR multifocal intraocular lens implantation can provide a higher level of visual acuity,pseudoaccommodation and satisfaction compared with monofocal intraocular lens.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economics of Yindan xintai dropping pills in the treatment of angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease from societal perspectives. METHODS:Therapy regimens related to Yindan xintai dropping pills and con-trol regimens were selected from published literatures included in database,and the cost of therapy regimens and clinical effect data were extracted from literatures. Contingent evaluation method was used to measure people's willingness-to-pay for angina pectoris treatments. An econometric model was conducted to transfer the effectiveness data to benefit data. The economics of treatment was evaluated depending upon net benefit or incremental net benefit indicator. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:When Yindan xintai drop-ping pills is used alone,its net benefit is >0,indicating economical advantage;56 d therapy regimen is better than 28 d therapy. When Yindan xintai dropping pills were combined with glyceryl trinitrate tablet,Isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release tablet, Simvastatin dispersible tablet and other drugs,its incremental net benefit is better than control regimens and has good economics.

BACKGROUND:The effect of placenta-derived growth factor(PLGF)on promoting vascular regeneration remains uncertain.In studies of models with PLGF deletion,PLGF has been considered to play critical role in inducing angiogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research advances in effect of PLGF and its receptor in vascular regeneration and ischemic cerebral disease.METHODS:A computer-based online search of Pubmed and CNKl was performed for relevant articles published between 1990 and 2009 with key words of"PLGF"in Chinese and"PLGF angiogensis"Articles related with biological characteristics of PLGF and its roles in vascular regeneration and articles related with angiogenesis and PLGF expression after cerebral ischemia were selected.Repetitive articles were excludedRESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The role of PLGF and its receptor in vascular regeneration,mechanism of PLGF and its receptor to promote angiogenesis,vascular endothelial growth factor A,and the expression of PLGF and its receptor in brain after cerebral ischemia were introduced.PLGF can promote pathological angiogenesis,arteriogenesis,branch formation and hemopoietic progenitor cell mobilization.PLGF and its receptor play an important role in the angiogenesis of ischemic cerebral disease and display a good clinical prospect in the treatment of ischemic cerebral disease However,the specific role and mechanism require further study.

At present, there are 8 sources of neural stem calls (NSCs), such as the early embryo, umbilical cord blood, brain tissue of adults and bone marrow, which are used for experiments. Four methods are also provided to isolate NSCs, for example, the serial passage and the gene transduction. Most of the hotspots at home and abroad are on the modulation of NSC transplantation in vivo, to make it proliferate and differentiate in hand. Most findings are achieved through experiments on rodents, no matter in vitro or vivo, which indicate that the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs can be affected by a variety of biological factors and drugs. Even more, the effects are multiple according to the factors and drugs of different kinds and the same kind of different concentrations, even the same factor would have different roles in different process of the culture of NSCs. The survival of NSCs during transplantation can also be affected by local microenvironment. Neither the NSC endogenous nor exogenous treatment is efficient. Furthermore, the body also rejects the exogenous NSCs. Taken together, it is tough for us to conclude that a factor does have some effects on the NSCs. Moreover, there are still a series of key problems unveiled clinically, such as how to perfect transplantation and whether to choose exogenous or endogenous NSCa for transplantation.
