Objective To study and analyze the effect of amlodipine besylate and amlodipine besylate in the treatment of hypertension. Methods 100 patients with hypertension treated in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were selected and randomly divided into two groups, the control group and the experimental group, with 50 patients in each group. The control group was treated with amlodipine besylate, and the patients in the experimental group were treated with amlodipine besylate and amlodipine besylate. The therapeutic effects of the experimental group and the control group were compared and analyzed. Results After the corresponding treatment, the experimental group of 50 cases, the total effective number of 44 cases, 6 patients invalid, the total effective rate was 88%. In the control group of 50 cases, the total effective number was 37 cases, 13 cases were invalid, the total effective rate was 74%. The treatment effect of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). There were 5 cases of adverse reactions in the experimental group, 3 patients had facial flushing, and 2 patients suffered from pain. The incidence was 10%. The number of adverse reactions in the control group was 12 cases, ankle edema occurred in 5 patients, and headache occurred in 7 patients, with a rate of 24%. The rate of adverse reactions in the control group was significantly higher than that in the experimental group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Amlodipine and Levamlodipine besylate in treatment of hypertension can improve the treatment efficiency to a great extent, high safety, low probability of adverse reactions, with further clinical promotion and application significance.

Objectives: To investigate the characteristics and their functional significance of TMJ disc and its attachment. Methods: Each of the 23 TMJs from 12 cadavers were divided into quadrants sagitall y, and total 92 histological slices were obtained and stained with HE.The morpho logical characteristics of the samples was observed microscopically. Results: ①Both temporal posterior and anterior mandibualr attachment s were loose while mandibular posterior and anterior temporal attachments were d ense in which the fibers run anterior posteriorly. ②Fibers in the intermediate zone ran predominantly in anterior posterior direction while those in both ant erior and posterior bands were mixed with transverse fibers. ③At the posterior portion of disc there were 33 out of 92 slices from 6/12 cadavers (11/23 TMJs) s howed the structure of "the fourth band" which was featured by dense fibers alik e those of inner disc. There were 36 out of 92 slices from 6/12 cadavers (10/23 TMJs) showed the structure of "turned fibers" which was featured by a sudden tu rning of fibers from the thick posterior band back and downward, providing an angle like sign. Conclusions: There is great difference o f fiber direction in various parts of disc and its attachments, reflecting the functional demands.

Objective To explore the protective effect of rhG-CSF given intranasally on cerebral infarct rats by observing the neurological dysfunction and the expression of Fas ligand (FasL) in hippocampus of cerebral infarct rats.Methods Middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model rats were established by nylon strand,reperfuse 2 hours later,and give rhG-CSF through subcutaneous and intranasal way.The rats were divided into the nermal group,the sham-operated control group(sham),MCAO group,MCAO+NS given intranasally group(NS),MCAO + rhG-CSF given subcutaneously group,and MCAO + rhG-CSF given intranasally group each group had 6 rats. At the time of 3d after reperfusion,neurological severity scores (NSS) test was performed and the expression of FasL was detected via immunohistochemical staining in collateral hippocampus. Results Neurological dysfunction appeared in all groups except for the normal and the sham group. The dysfunction of the MCAO and the NS group was the most serious,the NSS was the highest(10.20±1.85,10.30±1.76),the number of FasL positive cells was the most(41.17±3.25,41.00±2.76),and there was no obvious difference between the two groups ( P ＞0.05);the NSS and FasL positive cells decreased in the subcutaneous group(5.67±1.32,P ＜0.01;32.67±1.97,P ＜0.01) and decreased further more in the intranasal group(4.00±0.93,P ＜0.05;19.50±1.05,P ＜0.01).Conclusions rhG-CSF given intranasally can relieve the neurological dysfunction of cerebral infarct rats,and brain cells are thereby protected by resisting the expression of FasL.

Purpose:To study the expression and clinical significance of PTEN in non-small cell lung cancer. Methods:Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression of PTEN in 10 cases of normal lung issues and 56 cases of non-small cell lung cancer. Results:The positive incidences of PTEN expression in NSCLC was 59% while positive expression was found in all normal lung issues. The expression of PTEN was correlated to degree of differention of cancer, lymph node metastasis and clinical stages. The PTEN negative group was seen to have the worst survival rate among all groups. Conclusions:The results suggest that PTEN gene plays an important role in carcinogenesis and progress of NSCLC. Expression of PTEN may be valuable in prognosis assessment of NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the effect of the artificial cycle on the prognosis after transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) and its mechanism .Methods 80 patients with intrauterine adhesion were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group .The observation group were performed TRCA and postoperative artificial cycle for successive 3 months :oral es-tradiol valerate(9 mg once daily) for 21 d ,adding oral medroxyprofgesterone acetate(10 mg once dialy) on 15 d ,then the medication discontinuation for 7 d ,which was taken as 1 cycle;the control group received only TCRA .The re-examination was performed after 3 months .The levels of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) ,luteinizing hormone(LH) ,estradiol(E2 ) ,prolactin(PRL) ,progesterone (P) and testosterone(T) were examined by ELISA after TCRA three months .The expression of MMP-9 and TGF-β1 in adhesive endometrium were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot .Results Compared with the control group ,the artificial cycle thera-py combined with the operation could significantly increase the effective rate of TCRA for treating mild and moderate intrauterine adhesion(P<0 .05);the seum levels of FSH ,LH ,E2 ,PRL ,P and T had no statistical differences between the observation group and the control group(P>0 .05);the artificial cycle significantly improved the adhesive degree of intrauterine adhesion ,increased the MMP-9 expression and decreased the TGF-β1 expression .Conclusion Artificial cycle could improve the degree of uterine cavity ad-hesion after TCRA ,which the mechanism might be related to the increase of MMP-9 expression and decrease of TGF-β1 expres-sion .

Objective To study the promotive effect of neovascularization on rats with cerebral infarction by nasal administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.Methods A blinded,vehicle-controlled study of ING-CSF and IHG-CSF administration was performed by intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model.All Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group,model group,INNS group,IHGCSF group and ING-CSF group.The neurologic behavioral tests were assessed after reperfusion 72 h.Mter 72 h of MCAO,the brains of rats were stainned with TTC and the infarcted volume was calculated by computer image analysis.The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the brain was determined by immune-histochemistry.The density of angiogenesis in the brain was counted under fluorescence microscope.Results The score of neurological function of ING-CSF group(3.90± 1.65)was improved significantly compared with the IHG-CSF group (10.55±2.19) at the point of 72 h after cerebral infarction (P＜0.01).The cerebral infarct volume of ING-CSF group((20.01±3.29) ％) was reduced evidently compared with the IHG-CSF group((33.48±4.49) ％) at 72 h (P＜ 0.01);while the cerebral infarct volume of INNS group ((60.20±7.72) ％)was not markedly different compared with the model group((61.49±6.41)％) at 72 h (P＞0.05).The expression of VEGF in the brains of ING-CSF group was significantly higher than other groups at 72 h.Conclusion Intranasal administration G-CSF can improve neurological function and vascular angiogenesis in rats following MCAO.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the clinical value of full endoscopic transnasal transphenoidal approach for the surgery of pituitary adenomas.Methods Seventy-two patients,who underwent full endoscopic transnasal transphenoidal approach for the surgery of pituitary adenomas,were selected from the Medical Center of Pituitary Adenomas of our hospital from January 2009 to March 2012.To retrospectively investigate pre- and post-operation symptoms,hormone levels,images information,operation information,complications,following-up information and so on.Results Among the 72 consecutive patients,there were 22 nonfunctioning adenomas,twenty-four prolactin secreting adenomas,seven somatotropin secreting adenomas,five adrenocorticotropic hormone secreting adenomas,one thyrotropin secreting adenomas,and 13 multi-secreting adenomas.The tumor removal was total in 56(77.8％),subtotal 13(18.0％),and partial 3(4.2％).Five cases had CSF leaks,and 6 diabetes insipidus.After 3-24 months of follow-up,the levels of increasing-hormone declined to normal levels in most patients.Conclusion Full endoscopic transnasal transphenoidal approach for the surgery of pituitary adenomas is a kind of technique which is safe,minimally invasive,having less complications and fast recovery.However,it is necessary for surgeons to accept systematic and specialized training,and own advanced equipments.

Objective To investigate and explore the awareness and willingness of breast cancer screening between Han and Mongolian women in Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and to analyze the influence factors. Methods The patients answered investigation questionnaires face to face, and the content of questionnaire included demographic information, breast cancer awareness and relevant affecting factors on the awareness and willingness. Results 11162 (88.2 %) Han women and 1495 (11.8 %) Mongolian women were enrolled in the survey, with the average age of (45.4 ±7.1) years old and (45.4 ±6.8) years old. The education level (high school and above) of Han women was lower than that of Mongolian women [4456 women (40.0%) vs. 750 women (50.2%), χ2= 57.041, P< 0.001]. The Main way to delivery information on breast cancer screening in Han and Mongolian women was from their family members or friends [5002 women (44.9%) vs. 688 women (46.1%),χ2=40.699, P<0.001]. The proportions of never attending screening in the Han and Mongolian women were 41.7 % (4640 women) and 45.9 % (683 women), respectively (χ2=14.075, P=0.001). The breast self-examination rate of Han women were higher than that of Mongolian [71.1 % (7926 women) vs. 58.5 % (872 women), χ2= 98.466, P< 0.001]. According to logistics regression analysis, the cognitive level of women with high education level and breast disease history was higher (all P<0.001). Conclusions The cognitive level of breast cancer screening in Han women is better than that in the Mongolian, however, the overall level are low. It is necessary to strengthen the propaganda and education, and to encourage women to actively participate in breast cancer screening.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of gradually induced disordered occlusion (GIDO) on the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) in mandibular condylar cartilage of rats.

METHODSTotally 48 rats, aged 8 weeks were included, and were divided into experimental and control groups randomly at 4 time points, with same gender distribution (n=3). By inserting elastic rubber band the right side mandibular first molar and the left side maxillary first molar were moved mesially. Four weeks later, the right side mandibular third molar and the left side maxillary third molar were moved distally with same method. In this way, the GIDO was established in rats. The rats were sacrificed at the end of 2th, 4th, 6th and 8th week respectively after the application of the GIDO. The expression of OPG and RANKL in condylar cartilage was examined with immunohistochemical method and calculated by the area of positive cell percentage.

RESULTSOPG and RANKL expressed predominantly in condylar cartilage hypertrophic layer. The rats in experimental group expressed a higher OPG level in all of the 4 time points than their age-matched controls (P<0.05), while RANKL were higher in 2, 6, 8 weeks subgroups (P<0.05), but not in 4 weeks subgroup. No differences were found between male and female subgroups.

CONCLUSIONThe present results suggest that both OPG and RANKL take part in the condylar cartilage remodeling procedure in the present rat model.

Dendritic cell-based cancer vaccines (DC vaccines) have been proved efficient and safe in immunotherapy of various cancers, including melanoma, ovarian and prostate cancer. However, the clinical responses were not always satisfied. Here we proposed a novel strategy to prepare DC vaccines. In the present study, a fusion protein SNU containing a secretin-penetratin (SecPen) peptide, NY-ESO-1 and ubiquitin was designed and expressed. To establish the DC vaccine (DC-SNU), the mouse bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) were isolated, pulsed with SNU and maturated with cytokine cocktail. Then peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from C57BL/6 mice inoculated intraperitoneally with DC-SNU were separated and cocultured with MC38/MC38
