Herald of Medicine 2016;35(6):592-596
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of Plantago depressa Willd. extract on rats with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. Methods Sixty rats were divided into six groups randomly: normal control group, model control group, cernilton group, high-, medium- and low- dose Plantago depressa Willd. extract group, ten rats in each group. Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis rat model was established in the animals except of normal control group. Rats in the cernilton group were administrated with cernilton solution( 100 mg . kg-1 ) . High, middle and low dose Plantago depressa Willd. extract groups were given 150, 300 and 600 mg . kg-1 of Plantago depressa Willd. extract, respectively. The rats in the normal control and model control group were treated with the same volume of purified water.The administration was performed once every day, and lasted for three weeks.Effects of Plantago depressa Willd.extract on prostate index (PI), prostate specific antigen (PSA), tumor necrosis factorα ( TNF-α) , interleukin-1β ( IL-1β) , cycloxygenase 2 ( COX-2) , prostaglandin E2( PEG2 ) , transforming growth factor-β1( TGF-β1 ) , and connective tissue growth factor ( CTGF ) levels and pathological changes of prostate tissue in rats were observed. Results PI and PSA levels of the normal control group were(0.8±0.3)mg.g-1 and(106.5±10.6)pg.mL-1, respectively;those of the model control group were(2.2±0.2)mg.g-1 and(319.4±23.4)pg.mL-1 respectively;Those of the cernilton group were(1.6±0.3)mg.g-1 and(179.5±13.7)pg.mL-1 respectively;Those of the low-, medium- and high- dose Plantago depressa Willd.extract groups were(1.8±0.4),(1.3±0.3),(0.8±0.3)mg.g-1 and(263.4±28.6),(178.5±21.5), (143.5±12.9)pg.mL-1, respectively.Compared with the model control group, PI and PSA were significantly decreased(P<0.01) , TNF-α, IL-1β, COX-2, PEG2 , TGF-β1 and CTGF levels in the prostate tissues were decreased ( P<0. 01 ) , and inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis of prostate tissue was significantly alleviated in the model control group. Conclusion This study confirms Plantago depressa Willd.extract exerts effective therapeutical effect on chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in rats.

3.Research advances of Mfn2 in tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2021;48(1):45-47
Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) plays an important role in the process of mitochondrial fusion, and is involved in regulating mitochondrial function and morphological changes. Studies have found that Mfn2 has a tumor suppressor effect in a variety of malignant tumors and their cell lines, including cervical cancer, hepatocellular cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and bladder cancer. The difference in the expression of Mfn2 in malignant tumor tissues suggests that Mfn2 may play an important role in the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of malignant tumor cells. As a cancer-related gene, Mfn2 provides new ideas for gene therapy of malignant tumors.

Objective To study the effects of ginsenoside on expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and concentration of NO in THP-1 induced by amyloid beta(Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease. Methods The concentra- tion of nitric oxide was determined by Griess Reagent in supernatant of THP-1. The content of iNOS was measured by western blotting. Results The expression of iNOS of model group was significantly higher than those of control group. Compared with model group, the ginseng could reduce expression of iNOS and concentration of NO significant- ly in THP-1. Conclusion Ginsenoside can significantly inhibit the expression of iNOS, and reduce secretions of NO, so it may provide a novel therapy for AD.

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMA Supreme) used in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 40-64 yr,weighing 50-70 kg, undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery, were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 40 each): LMA Supreme group (group S) and LMA ProSeal group (group P). Mallampati test was performed before operation in both groups. The patients were classified as Ⅰ or Ⅱ . LMA Supreme and LMA ProSeal were inserted in group S and P respectively after induction of anesthesia with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, fentanyl 3 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMA. The number of attempt, success rate, LMA placement time, success rate of gastric tube placement, cuff volume, peak airway pressure, and airway seal pressure, BP, HR, ECG, SpO2, PET CO2 and complications were recorded. The duration of surgery and pneumoperitoneum, and emergence time were also recorded. The fiberoptic bronchoscope scores were assessed after successful LMA placement. Results There were no significant differences in the duration of operation and pneumoperitoneum, emergence time between the two groups (P > 0.05). The BP, HR,SpO2, PET CO2 and peak pressure were within the normal range during operation in both groups. The first attempt success rates of LMA placement and gastric tube placement were significantly higher, the LMA placement time was significantly shorter, and the fiberoptic bronchoscopic scores were significantly higher in group S than in group P ( P < 0.05). Conclusion LMA Supreme is helpful for ventilation during operation with less complications and can be used effectively for gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(16):2220-2221
Objective To investigate the sensitivity of the real-time fluorescence PCR technique and the bacterial culture for detecting the colonization of group B Streptococcus(GBS)in late pregnant women.Methods 2 specimens were collected from preg-nant women genital tract-rectal secretions swabs,one specimen for conducting the bacterial culture and another for conducting the real-time PCR technique to detect genital GBS.The accuracy and rapidness were compared between the two methods.308 cases of pregnant women were divided into the GBS positive group and the GBS negative group according to the detection results of the real time real-time fluorescence PCR technique.The relation between the occurrence of premature rupture of membranes with GBS was investigated by the comparative analysis.Results Among 308 pregnant women with GBS detection,18 cases were positive by the ordinary bacterial culture with the positive rate of 5.8%(18/308),while 28 cases were positive by the real-time fluorescent PCR with the positive rate of 9.4%(29/308).In the GBS positive group detected by PCR,the premature rupture of membranes occurred in 9 cases with the positive rate of 31%,while in the GBS negative group detected by PCR,which occurred in 33 cases with the pos-itive rate of 11.83%.Conclusion This survey shows that the positive detection rate of the real-time fluorescent PCR technique is significantly higher than that of the bacterial culture method,the application of this detection technique for detecting GBS provides the basis for rapidly diagnosing GBS and conducting the prophylactic use of antibacterial drugs more accurately and more effectively.
