OBJECTIVE: To study the protective effects of nimesulide, a COX- 2 selective inhibitor on experimental gastric ulcer in rats. METHODS: The gastric ulcer model was established in rats by intragastric administration them with indometacin, 5 min later, which were assigned to receive nimesulide at different dosages ( 200, 100, and 50mg? kg- 1) , 6h later, all the rats were sacrificed. The primary outcome measures were the area of ulcer, levels of SOD, MDA, and GSH in sera and gastric mucosa. RESULTS: As compared with model group, in nimesulide ( at different dosage) groups, the area of ulcer was markedly decreased, level of MDA was decreased while activities of SOD and GSH were increased ( P

Objective Using second duplication checking to prevent academic misconduct of accepted papers ,and to improve the academic quality of journals for the consolidating credibility of academic journal and brand establishing .Methods Academic Mis-conduct Literature Check(AMLC)system developed by CNKI was applied to check possible academic misconduct of 90 accepted pa-pers for Chongqing Medical Journal ,then the contribution time ,duplication checking time ,words repetition percentage of the accept-ed papers with academic misconduct and similarity literature were analyzed compared with the source papers .Results After chec-king 90 accepted papers ,9 of them were suspected with academic misconduct ,including 5 papers with 30 .1% -40 .0% of coinci-dence rate ,1 paper with 40 .1% -50 .0% of coincidence rate ,and 3 papers with more than 50 .1% of coincidence rate .Most of the academic misconduct were multiple contribution of same manuscript or duplicate publication .Conclusion To avoid the multiple con-tribution of the same manuscript or duplicate publication ,we should shorten peer review and publishing period ,carry on multi-dupli-cation checking ,punish academic misconduct ,and work together with other sci-tech periodicals to eliminate academic misconduct .

Objective To improve the quality standard for Chuanxiong by studing the method of discriminating Chuanxiong. Methods Chuanxiong was identified by TLC. The content of ferulic acid in Chuanxiong was determine by HPLC. The Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 mm?150 mm, 5 ?m) was used, mobile phase was methanol-1% acetic acid solution (21∶79), flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength was 320 nm. Results The TLC spots developed were fairly and simply identical. HPLC was accurate and reproducible. Ferulic acid showed a good liner relationship at range of 0.042 5～0.382 5 ?g, the average recovery was 97.10% (RSD=1.31%). Conclusion These methods can be used to control the quality of Chuanxiong effectively.

Egr-1 is an important transcription factor, which regulates at least 30 kinds of gene expression. Egr-1 couples extracellular signals to long-term responses by altering expression of Egr-1 target genes. So egr-1 can directly or indirectly affect cell differentiation,apoptosis,immune response,injury and repair. This article reviewed the progress in Egr-1 and the lung disease.

Cerebral ischemia activates endogenous angiogenic factors,and increase microvessel density and form new capillaries in ischemic brain tissues.Exogenous angiogenic factors can more effectively promote angiogenesis and the establishment of collateral circulation in ischemic regions and peripherial tissues,improving local blood supply and reducing infarct size.The further study of the mechanisms and methods in promoting regional angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia will contribute to improve neurologic deficit.

Objective To investigate the possible abnormal changes of adult neurogenesis in the rostral migratory stream(RMS),in the olfactory bulb and in learning or memory of renovascular hypertensive rat,and to evaluate the possible efficacies produced by intervention of exogenous melatonin.Methods Renovascular hypertensive rat model was established by clamping bilateral renal arteries.Rats were randomly divided into four groups with 10 rats per group:hypertensive,sham-operated,melatonin-treated and normal groups.Morris water maze was used to detect the abilities of learning and memory,and immunohistochemistry for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU),bromodeoxyuridine plus glial fibrillary acidic protein (BrdU + GFAP) and bromodeoxyuridine plus neurofilament (BrdU + NT) was utilized to examine the changes of the adult neurogenesis in RMS and in the olfactory bulb of each rat.Results The escape latency of hypertensive group ((29.95 ± 20.11) s) recorded in Morris water maze test was the longest in a significant comparison to those of normal group((20.58 ± 19.18)s),sham-operated group ((22.11 ± 20.28) s) and melatonin-treated group ((23.81 ± 22.25) s) (P ＜ 0.05) ; while the time spent by rats during swimming in the quadrant with being originally put platform of hypertensive ((25.51 ± 5.21) s) was the shortest by significant comparison to those of normal((34.67 ± 4.53) s),sham-operated ((33.56 ± 6.12) s) and melatonin-treated group ((36.23 ± 3.86)s) (P ＜ 0.05).Proliferation of neural stem cells (cells/field):the number of BrdU immunoreactive (BrdU-IR) cells of rats in RMS of hypertensive group(34.08 ±6.49) was the smallest,significantly compared with those of normal(43.53 ± 7.56),sham-operated (46.11 ± 4.75) and melatonintreated group (44.30 ± 8.29),(P ＜ 0.05).Differentiation of neural stem cells (cells/slice):the number of BrdU + GFAP-IR cells in olfactory bulb of hypertensive group (2.45 ± 1.32) was largest,significantly compared with those of normal (1.01 ± 0.78),sham-operated (0.68 ± 0.37) and melatonin-treated group (1.35 ± 0.88) (P ＜0.05) ; while the number of BrdU + NF-IR cells in olfactory bulb of hypertensive group (1.15 ± 0.81) was the smallest,significantly compared with those of normal (1.89 ± 0.98),sham-operated(1.63 ± 1.01) and melatonin-treated group (2.30 ± 1.22) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Melatonin can ameliorate the abnormal cognitive behaviors induced by hypertension via a mechanism of reversing the progression of neurogenesis disorders both in RMS and in olfactory bulb,indicating that melatonin may prevent the development of dementia triggered by hypertension.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum ereatine kinase iseenzyme-MB (CK-MB) and recent cardiac events(30 days, 180 days) and late cardiac events (360 days) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Serum creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB in 168 patients with ACS were measured, and these patients were divided into four groups according to the levels of CK and CK-MB. The occurrence of cardiac events analysis of CK and CK-MB was followed up for 30, 180 and 360 days and the relationship between the occurrence of cardiac events and the levels of CK and CK-MB were studied. Results There was statistical correlation between increased CK-MB and abnormal ECG Q wave, ST segment change (P< 0.05), 168 patients had followed up 30, 180 and 360 days, in which cardiac events happened in 57 common patients (64 examples), 27 examples (16.1%) happened in the recent cardiac event, and 37 examples(22.0%) happened in the late cardiac event. The cardiac event and CK-MB elevation had statistical correlation (P<0.05). Conclusion ACS patients with increased CK-MB levels prompt a poor prognosis, and could be an independent indicator of recent and late cardiac events in patients with ACS.

Objective To explore the curative effect of family -based socialization management on patients with hypertension in community .Methods A total of 116 patients with hypertension were randomly divided into ob-servation group and control group , 58 patients in each group .Both groups received conventional drug treatment .The control group was given routine chronic disease management and the observation group implemented social manage -ment(patients, families, doctors).Blood pressure(BP),lifestyle and psychological condition were evaluated , and the serum triglyceride ( TG) , low density lipoprotein ( LDL) and homocysteic acid ( Hcy) were detected after one year . Results Blood pressure of patients was dropped significantly in the two groups , as compared with the control group . The BP of patients in the observation group was declined more obviously , the BP up to standard rates , control rates and treatment compliance were raised , the mode of life and mental status were improved obviously , and the serum contents of TG, LDL and Hcy were decreased significantly (p<0.05).Conclusion The use of hypotensorscombined with fam-ily-based social management can effectively help patients to control their blood pressure , raise treatment compli-ance, establish a healthy life style and improve their mental status .The mode is worth of spreading in community .
