Immunohistochemical studies were performed to study the expression of HMB45,TNF-? and IL-6 in compound glycyrrhizin treated group,vitiligo model group and normal control group.Results:The expression of HMB45 in lesion of vitiligo model group was lower than the normal control group.The expression of HMB45 in lesion of compound treated group was higher than the vitiligo model group and the expression of HMB45 increased accompany by the increase of dosage.The expression of TNF-? and IL-6 in vitiligo model group was significantly higher than the normal control group (P

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of glycyrrhiza active substance on guinea pig model of vitiligo,and to clarify its mechanism on promoting synthesis of melanin,and to provide the basis for its clinical application.Methods Guinea pigs decolorized by H2O2 were used as experimental models,and normal control group was set up.After treatment of glycyrrhiza active substance in three doses groups(20,40,and 80 mg?kg-1),the therapeutic effect was observed by visual observation,macrography,histological examination as well as immunohistochemical study.Results The significant differences of skin color among control group,model group and treatment groups were observed by macrography.The total effective rates in 40 or 80 mg?kg-1 groups were higher than that in control group(P

Objective To confirm the protective effect of berberine (BBR) on cold ischemia reperfusion (I/R)-induced liver injury and to show whether the hepatic protection conferred by BBR involves the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) / protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signal pathway.Method Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to four groups:BBR group (BBR was intragastrically administered at a dose of 100 mg·kg-1 · d-1 2 weeks before hepatic cold I/R treatment),dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (BBR was replaced by DMSO,and others were the same as BBR group),I/R group (BBR was replaced by normal saline,and others were the same as BBR group) and sham group (normal saline was administered 2 weeks before opening and closing abdomen treatment).Then the rats were sacrificed at 3,6,and 24 h after reperfusion.The liver function,oxidative stress level,apoptosis rate,and the expression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR related pathway proteins were assayed.Result As compared with sham group,the I/R-induced liver tissue displayed severe lobular distortion with widespread necrosis,high level of oxidative stress and apoptosis rate.As compared with I/R group,BBR dramatically attenuated the histopathologic damage,restored the liver function and decreased the oxidative stress level.Simultaneously,BBR significantly ameliorated the apoptosis by decreasing the apoptosis rate,increasing the Bcl-2/Bax ratio and inhibiting caspase-3 activity in rats subjected to hepatic I/R.The expression of p-Akt was effectively upregulated with the inhibited expression of p-mTOR.Conclusion Our result provides robust in vivo evidence that BBR can prevent I/R-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis.The mechanisms involved can be attributed to the activation of P]3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions between intralesional betamethasone injection combined with botulinum toxin type A and topical hyaluronic acid and simple intralesional betamethasone injection and topical hyaluronic acid in treatment of keloid.Methods:A total of 58 patients with keloid were divided into two groups: intralesional betamethasone injection combined with botulinum toxin type A and topical hyaluronic acid group (combined group, n=28) and intralesional betamethasone injection combined with topical hyaluronic acid group (control group, n=30).In both two groups, the intralesional betamethasone injection was given once every 4 weeks for 3 times totally, and topical hyaluronic acid was applied every day.In combined group, an injection of botulinum toxin type A was given around the lesion after the first intralesional injection of betamethasone.The parameters for therapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions of the patients in two groups were recorded, and the clinical pictures were taken before and after each treatment, and they were analyzed and compared.Results:After 3 treatments, compared with control group, the lesion appearance in combined group was improved.In control group, the VAS value was reduced at 1 month, but was increased gradually at 2 and 3 months. In combined group, the VAS value was reduced gradually in 3 months. There was a significant difference in VAS value at 2 and 3 months between two groups (P<0.05).In combined group, the thickness of keloids were reduced gradually in 3 months, while the reduction was not obvious in control group (P<0.05).The recurrence of pain, itching and lesion height were observed 2 weeks after each treatment in control group, but there was no recurrence in combined group.The incidence rate of adverse reactions was 26.7% in control group, which had no significant difference compared with combined group(25.0%) (P>0.05).Conclusion:Compared with control group, the combined group shows better efficiency in the treatment of keloid and there is no increase of adverse reactions.The therapy is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the relationship between dynamic changes of plasma D-dimer and survival rate of the esophageal carcinoma patients pre-and post-operation.Methods 30 cases of normal control group,160 cases of esophageal cancer group( including operation cases n =112),with the gold standard method for the determination of plasma D-dimer.Results There was a link between the level of D-dimer,TNM staging,lymph node metastasis and tumor size in esophageal carcinoma patients.Compared with the preoperation,the plasma D-dimer is significantly elevated 2 years later( t =7.35,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Before or after the operation,dynamic changes of plasma D-dimer had a relationship with short-term survival rate.

Objective:To investigate the efficiency of maternal serum triple screening for the genetic abnormality in second-trimester and the morbidity of adverse pregnancy outcome in false positive results of the test. Methods: A total of 4 680 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies assigned in Obs & Gyn Hospital, Fudan University, underwent triple screening test (alpha fetoprotein, AFP; human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG and unconjugated estriol, uE3) by fluorescence enzyme immunoassay between 2003 and 2005. The valid MoM (Multiples of Median) value of mid-trimester serum AFP, uE3, and hCG and risk assessments was provided by Beckman Coulter Co. When applied in the prenatal Down syndrome screening service. The study compares the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities with Down syndrome in screen positive women and compares to the MoM value established in the literature. The risks of having a fetus with congenital abnormalities or of developing obstetric complications in the screen positive women with their matched controls.Results:The MoM values for the triple tests of our study are similar to established values of literature. Only 51.01% women with pregnancies agree to receive screening. Amniocentesis utilization rate was 55.12% in the screen-positive pregnancies. The false positive rate was 6.89% and the median of maternal age of the women was 28.13 (range 19 to 49) years old. Chromosomal abnormalities were identified in 21 pregnancies, including 9 cases of trisomy 21.The detection rate was 77.77%. Pregnancies with positive screening results had a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes than those with negative results (P< 0.05). Whereas there was no difference in the incidences of fetal congenital appearance or skeleton abnormality. Conclusion: Adjusting MoM values of local unaffected populations is limited to increasing the detection rate. Because chromosomal defects have variable exhibitions, amniocentesis utilization is still a choice for screen-positive pregnancies. Screen-positive pregnancies had increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

Objective To explore the skill of mien)surgical removal and preservation and functional recovery of facial nerve for large acoustic neuromas.Methods The clinical data of 82 consecutive patients with large acoustic neuromas operated upon through the suboccipital retrosigmoid approach were retrospectively reviewed.The cases with HB grade Ⅲ - Ⅵ of facial nerve were divided randomly into two groups,the one group was given conventional therapy and the other group was given Kabato rehabilitation training.Results In those cases,acoustic neuromas were totally removed in 77 (93.9%),subtotally removed in 5.Facial nerve was kept anatomically intact in 78 cases of the patients (95.1%).Recovery of facial nerve function was faster and more effective in the training group than that in the un-training group.During the follow-up ranging from 6 months to 3 years,among 5 cases of subtotally resection,2 cases relapsed.Three patients in our series complained of chronic headache postoperatively.No patient long time coma or died.Conclusion The goal of large acoustic neuromas treatment should be total removal in one stage and preservation of facial nerve function,as they determine a patient's quality of life.Kabat rehabilitation training is the effective method of functional recovery of facial nerve after operation.

Objective To evaluate the effects of carbohydrate-electrolyte solution(CES)on serum glucose,pancreas islet function,and safety in elderly patients after abdominal operation.Methods In this prospective,double-blinded,randomized,and controlled study,40 elderly patients who met the defined criteria were enrolled.Subjects in CES group were intravenously administered with 1 000 ml CES for consecutive three days beginning from the 1st and 2nd post-operative day,while subjects in the control group were administered with 10% glucose of the same volume under the same arrangement.The changes of serum glucose,insulin and insulin C-peptide,as well as lactic acid and uric acid and uric acid were determined before and after injection.Adverse events were recorded.Results All patients completed the study.The increase rate of serum glucose was significantly lower on the 2nd and 3rd day after injection in CES group than in control group(P=0.008,P:0.001).Blood insulin and insulin C-peptide levels showed increasing trends in both two groups,but were not significantly different between two groups(P=0.612,P=0.213).In the CES group,6 patients experienced systemic inflammatory response syndrome and 4 patients had infective complications after surgeries ;on the contrary,these two numerals were 8 and 6 in the control group(P=0.639,P=0.606).No increase in serum lactic acid or uric acid was detected.Conclusion Appropriate application of CES has minimal effect on the blood gluocse and pancreas islet function in elderly patients after abdominal surgery and may be helpful to improve clinical outcomes.
