ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor nimesulide lone and combined with cisplatin on tumor growth,and Ki67 and Caspase-3 expression in lung cancer xenografts in nude mice. Methods The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:the control group,the nimesulide group,the cisplatin group and the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group. A549 cells were injected into BALB/c nude mice subcutaneously.On the 21st day after treatment tumor tissues were collected,and the xenografts growth were observed. The expression of Ki67 and Caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemical method.ResultsNimesulide combined with cisplatin could significantly inhibited the xenografts growth compared with nimesulide or cisplatin.The tumor inhibition rate was 44.33％ in the nimesulide group,53.61％ in the cisplatin group and 80.41％ in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group (P ＜ 0.05).Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the expression rates of Caspase-3 was significantly increased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group (67.43 ± 23.57 ) ％,the cisplatin group (48.40 ± 20.37 ) ％,and the nimesulide group (38.65 ± 15.37)％,compared with the control group (27.63 ± 13.03)％ (P ＜ 0.05).The expression rate of Caspase-3 was significantly increased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group compared with the nimesulide group or the cisplatin group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression rate of Ki67 was significantly decreased in the nimesulide group combined with cisplatin group (24.34 ± 15.90)％,the cisplatin group (40.85 ± 22.47)％ and the nimesulide group (53.33 ± 19.67)％ compared with the control group ( 80.43 ± 16.88 ) ％ ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of Ki67 was significantly decreased in the nimesulide combined with cisplatin group compared with the nimesulide group or the cisplatin group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Nimesulide can inhibit human lung cancer A549 cells xenografts in nude mice growth,Nimesulide enhanced the inhibitory effects of cisplatin.The mechanism may be related to inhibition of tumor cell Ki-67 expression,increased expression of Caspase-3,inhibition of tumor cell proliferation,and inducing tumor cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the susceptible factors to offer prevention and treatment of nosocomial pulmonary fungal infection in comprehensive ICU. METHODS The clinical materials of 82 patients with pulmonary fungal nosocomial infection in our department from May 2003 to May 2008 were reviewed. RESULTS The infection rate of total 836 patients was 9.81%.Candidiasis was the most frequent type in fungal infection,59.7% of which were due to Candida.The most clinical features were a large amount of light yellow sputum after tracheotomy and intratracheal indwelling cannula.The factors related to pulmonary fungal nosocomial infection were the severity of the underlying disease,tracheal intubations,broadspectrum antibiotics abuse,long-term use of glucocorticoid,interventional treatment,etc.Fluconazole,amphotericin B and voriconazole had better clinical effects on treatment of fungal infection than other antifungal drugs. CONCLUSIONS It′s important to eliminate the susceptible factors and to provide the early diagnosis and experimental treatment.

Objective To explore brain plasticity of upper extremities motor function recovery after stroke with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods 25 stroke patients with internal capsule lesions and affected corticospinal tract (CST), 4-8 weeks after onset, were divided randomly into rehabilitation group (n=13) and control group (n=12). Both groups received routine medication and the rehabilitation group also received rehabilitation. All the patients were scanned with DTI and assessed with upper extremity Fugl-Myer Assessment (UE-FMA) before and 3 months after treatment. The fractional anisotropy (FA), FA ratio (rFA) and FA asymmetry (FAasy) in cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of internal capsule (PLIC) and corona radiate were obtained. The bilateral corticospinal tracts were reconstructed with diffusion tensor tractography. Results The scores of UE-FMA increased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), and increased more in the rehabilitation group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was significant difference in FA, rFA and FAasy in the corona radiate section of CST after treatment in the rehabilitation group (P<0.05), but was not in the cerebral peduncle and PLIC section. However, there was no significant differences in FA, rFA and FAasy in the control group. The ipsilesional CST fibers were more compact after treatment in the rehabilitation group. Conclusion Rehabilitation can improve the upper extremities function recovery after stroke, which may associated with the repairment of CST in the corona radiate section.

Objective To analyse effects of the serum levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) on antithyroid drugs (ATD) treatment in patients with incipient Graves disease (GD). Methods A total of 121 patients with incipient GD, who were used anti thyroid drugs for 12 months, were included in this study. Patients were dvided into two groups:TPOAb negative group (TPOAb≤35 IU/mL, n=49) and TPOAb positive group (TPOAb>35 IU/mL, n=72). According to the degree of TPOAb drops the TPOAb positive group was sub-divided into low level positive group (35 IU/mL1 000 IU/mL, n=20). The ATD total dosage for 12 months and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which returned to normal rate after treatment of 3, 6 and 12 months, were compared between groups. Results ATD total dose was lower in TPOAb positive group (1 743.82±265.38) mg than that of negative group (1 889.18 ±125.51) mg. The ATD total dosages were (1 759.71±230.29) mg, (1 793.75±299.02) mg, (1 731.54± 236.44) mg and (1 710.00 ± 290.73) mg for low level TPOAb positive group, medium level TPOAb positive group, high level TPOAb positive group, and very high level TPOAb positive group respectively. The recovering ratio of TSH was significantly higher in TPOAb positive group than that of TPOAb negative group after 3-month treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion TPOAb positive serum can lead to shorten the course of ATD treatment and reduce the total amount of ATD treatment in GD patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of mild hypothermia on post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction in rabbits in order to elucidate the underlying mechanism of hypothermia.Methods After setting up rabbit model of cardiopulmonary resuscitation,20 rabbits were randomly ( random number)divided into two groups,namely normothermic resuscitation group (group A,n =10 ) and post-ROSC hypothermia group ( group B,n =10).In the group A,animals wore treated with standard CPR after cardiac arrest.In post-ROSC hypothermia group,the body temperature of animals was cooled to 32 ～ 34°C after successful ROSC.The left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular pressure rise and fall rates ( ± dp/dtmax,serum concentrations of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and 8-isoprostaglandin F2a (8-iso-PGF2a) and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were observed. Results Compared with the A group,the B group had significantly better hemodynamics,and lower serum H-FABP,8-isoPGF2a and COX-2 levels in the early stage of post-resuscitation ( both P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsMild hypothermia attenuated post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction during the early period of postresuscitation.The cryoprotective effect on myooardium is likely associated with the reduction of 8-iso-PGF2a and COX-2.

Objective To explore the etiologies and characteristics of esophageal motility in patients with non-obstructive dysphagia by esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM).Methods From November 2011 to August 2015,233 patients with non-obstructive dysphagia diagnosed by HRM were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received gastroendoscopy to exclude obstructive dysphagia.Results Among 233 patients with non-obstructive dysphagia,there were 160 cases of achalasia,38 cases of nonspecific esophageal motor disorder (13 cases of low amplitude peristalsis or absent peristalsis,seven cases of synchronous contraction or rapid contraction,three cases of distal esophageal spasm,six cases of increased resting upper esophageal sphincter pressure (UESP),three cases of reduced UESP,six cases of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) incomplete relaxation),five cases of gastroesophageal reflux disease,four cases of scleroderma,two cases of Jackhammer esophagus,and 24 cases with normal esophageal motility.Conclusions Achalasia is the most common cause of non-obstructive dysphagia,followed by nonspecific esophageal motor disorder.Esophageal HRM is an important method for the diagnosis of nonobstructive dysphagia,especially for unexplained dysphagia.
