ObjectiveThe relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis in the women patients with breast mucinous carcinoma was investigated. Methods 101 patients with breast mucinous carcinoma were divided into two groups:pure mucinous carcinoma ( n =74), and mixed type ( n =27). The relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis was analysed. Results Lymph node was less frequently involved in pure type group (24%) than that in the mixed type (52%) (? 2 =10 4, P

Objective To explore the changes and their correlation of event-related potential(ERP)and the plasma levels of monoamine neurotransmitter in the patients with epilepsy.Methods ERP and the plasma levels of noradrenalin(NE),dopamine(DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) were tested in 50 patients with epilepsy,and the results were compared with the normal controls.Results The latency of N2,P3 of ERP and the amplitude of P3 in the epilepsy group were significant longer and lower than those in the normal control group(all P

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of astilbin on warm ischemia/reperfusion-induced liver injury and to study the related mechanism. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=8): sham-operated group (Sham), model control group (I/R), low dose astilbin treatment group (10 mg/kg) and high dose astilbin (40 mg/kg) treatment group. Mice in the two treatment groups were intraperitoneally injected with astilbin 24 hours and one hour before ischemia. Then 70% hepatic ischemia/reperfusion model (the left and middle hepatic lobe) was established. Mice in the I/R model control group and the sham operation group were administered with the same volume of normal saline. The blood sample and liver tissue samples were collected 90 min after ischemia and 6 h after reperfusion. Serum ALT activity was detected as an indicator of liver function damage and the content of MPO in liver tissues were detected by ELISA. The pathological changes of the liver were observed. The expression of IL-10 in liver tissues was detected by Western blotting and the expression of IL- 10 mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results: Astilbin treatment can effectively lower the serum ALT level and MPO level in the liver tissues in some I/R mice. It could also improve the pathological manifestations of the liver. Compared with the I/R model control group, IL-10 protein levels gradually increased in the two treatment groups, which was consistent with the result of RT-PCR (low dose group P<0.05; high dose group, P<0.01). Conclusion: Astilbin can effectively reduce the inflammatory response after liver warm ischemia-reperfusion induced injury, effectively improve the mouse liver function and pathological damage, which might be related to the upregulation of IL-10 expression in the liver tissues.

BACKGROUND:. Until now modern science cannot explain clearly aboutthe mechanism of acute alcoholic liver injury. Besides such methods as givingup drinking, or symptomatic treatment, there is no specific therapy and remedy. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has obvious advantages for this: Itcannot only improve the clinical symptoms, but also adjust organism immunefunction, and has very good development future. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of radix bupleuri and radix scutellariae incompatibility with the ratio of different dosage (2:1, 1:1, 1:2) on acute alcoholicliver injury by regulating the system of endocrine-immunity network in rats. DESIGN: Groups are divided randomly and experiments are made underblank conditions. SETTING: TCM Clinical Laboratory of Pharmaceutical School, Henan University of TCM. MATERIALS: From September to November 2002 in TCM Clinical Laboratory of Pharmaceutical School, Henan University of TCM, the general condi tion of the animals were as follows: 96 healthy Wistar rats were divided into 8groups: blank group, model group, radix bupleuri group, radix scutellariaegroup, xiao-chaihu group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 2:1 group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:1 group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:2 group. METHODS: ① According to the ratio of 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, radix bupleuri andradix scutellariae were taken respectively (480 g, 240 g; 360 g, 360 g; 240 g, 480 g) to produce the water decocting nedicine. Except the blank group(duplicated by saline of the same volume through consecutive gastric infusion), the other groups are duplicated through consecutive gastric infusionby 56 degrees of Er-Guotou White Spirit (7 mL/kg) two times a day for tendays until the model-making is finished. From the first day, the medicine wasgiven two times a day. The blank group and the model group were given thedistilled water of the same volume. The other groups were given the properwater decocting medicine. The dosage in xiao-chaihu group was 10 g/kg andin the other was all 12 g/kg. ② 16 hours later after the last time when thewhite spirit was given, blood was taken from stomach aorta to produceserum. Liver, spleen, chest gland, adrenal gland were quickly removed. Thecalculating formula of an organ index: An organ index= The weight of an organ (g)/The weight of a body (g) ×100%. The calculating formula of vitamin C content in adrenal gland (mg/g): Content of vitamin C= [(The Avalue of the testing tube-The A value of the blank tube)/ (The A value ofthe standard tube-The A value of the blank tube)] ×density of the standardtube (6 mg/L)×dilution times of the sample before tested/protein content(g/L). ③ Comparison between the groups was shown by using variancesimilar test and single-factor variance analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Index of rats' liver, spleen, chest gland, and adrenal gland (on the right side); the determination of vitamin C content in rats' right adrenal gland.RESULTS: During the experiment, 3 rats in the model group died. Tworats died in radix scutellariae group and radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae group respectively, In each of the other groups only one rat died. The condition of the number of the rats which were used for analyzing results:There were 12 in blank group; 9 in model group; 10 in radix bupleuri group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:1 group respectively; 11 in each of the other groups. ① Comparison of index of rats in liver, spleen, chest gland, adrenal gland (right side) between different groups: There was no significant difference between the indexes of rats' liver in different groups.The index of spleen, chest gland, adrenal gland in the model group were all greatly less than in blank group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01). The index of spleen in the radix bupleuri group wcre greatly higher than in the model group, it could make the reduced spleen index return to normal (P ＜ 0.05); The index of chest in radix scutellariae group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:1 group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:2 group and xiao-chaihu group were greatly higher than in model group (P ＜ 0.05); The index of adrenal gland in radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:2 group and xiao-chaihu group were greatly higher than in model group (P ＜ 0.05). ② Comparison of vitamin C content in rats' right adrenal gland between the groups: Compared with blank group, the vitamin C content of adrenal gland in the model group had no significant difference. While that of radix bupleuri group, xiao-chaihu group, radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae groups were greatly less than that of model group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01), especially radix bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:1 group had the most significant influence (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Interfering functional injuries of liver, spleen and suprarenal gland is one of the mechanisms of acute alcoholic liver injury.Generally speaking, bupleuri-radix scutellariae 1:2 group has the greatest effect on the testing index.

Objective To explore the effect of relaxation treatment (RT) on the sleep quality of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods Ninety-two GAD patients were recruited and evenly divided into a study group (n =46) and a control group.The control group was treated with conventional medications,while the study group received RT in addition.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and polysomnography (PSG) were used to test for changes in sleep before and after treatment.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups before treatment in terms of average PSQI scores or PSG results.After treatment,both groups scored significantly better on the PSQI than before the treatment.PSG showed that after treatment there was less awakening,greater sleep efficiency and longer total sleep time.There was shorter sleep latency and rapid eye movement sleep latency,shorter duration of shallow sleep,and longer duration of deep sleep and rapid eye movement sleep in the study group,as well as fewer awakenings,greater sleep efficiency and longer total sleep time.The PSQI and PSG results of the two groups after treatment were significantly different.Conclusions RT can significantly improve sleep disorders in GAD patients.

Objective The objectives of this study were to investigate the clinical significance of CD39,CD73,double positive subgroups for CD39 and CD73,and other lymphocytes with clinicopathological parameters in the microenvironment of colorectal cancer.Methods Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte(TIL)was collected from 24 patients with colorectal cancer after radical resection.The expression of CD39+,CD73+ or CD39+ with CD73+ in T cells were measured by flow cytometry.The association between these subgroups and clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed.Results The CD73+ and CD39+ with CD73+ subgroups were associated with lymph node metastasis and poor degree of differentiation,and this mechanism was closely related to tumor-associated inflammation.Conclusion CD39+ with CD73+ colorectal tumor infiltration Treg has a more unique biological activity than other Treg group.This study provides a new idea and theoretical basis for predicting the prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the effective strategies to prevent and treat biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 316 patients who received orthotopic liver transplantation at the Fuzhou General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command from November 2001 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Cold perfusion with HTK + UW solution was applied when obtaining the liver graft,and then the liver graft was preserved in the UW solution.The bile duct was perfused with UW solution thereafter.Orthotopic liver transplantation or piggyback liver transplantation were adopted in the cadaver liver transplantation.Left liver transplantation and right liver transplantation were adopted in the living donor liver transplantation.Choledochojejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis or duct-to-duct choledochostomy were used for biliary reconstruction.Ordinary T tubes were used for drainage before 2006,and then 6 F pediatric suction catheter or epidural catheter were applied for drainage thereafter.The Ttube was pulled out 3-6 months after the operation.Enteral nutrition was applied to patients at the early phase after operation.The immunosuppressive agents used including tacrolimus + mycophenolatemofetil + adrenal cortical hormone,and for some patients,tacrolimus + mycophenolatemofetil + sirolimus + hormone were used.Patients were followed up for 2 years to learn the incidence of biliary complications and guide the medication.The difference in the incidence of bile leakage between patients who wcrc admitted before 2006 and those admitted after 2006 were compared using the chi-square test.Results The warm ischemia time was 2-6 minutes,and the cold ischemia time was 3-10 hours.For patients who received cadaver liver transplantation,orthotopic liver transplantation was carried out for 291 times and piggyback liver transplantation for 24 times; biliojejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis was carried out for 5 times and bile duct end-to-end anastomosis for 310 times.For patients who received living donor liver transplantation,1 received left liver transplantation and 1 received right liver transplantation,and they received bile duct end-to-end anastomosis.A total of 311 patients received immunosuppressive treatment with tacrolimus + mycophenolatemofetil + adrenal cortical hormone,and 5 patients reveived tacrolimus + mycophenolatemofetil + sirolimus + hormone.Of the 316 patients who received orthotopic liver transplantation,38 had biliary complications after the operation,including bile leakage in 18 patients,intra-and extra-hepatic bile duct stricture in 6 patients,anastomotic stricture in 6 patients,biliarycomplications included cholangitis in the portal area and cholestasis in 4 patients,choledocholithiasis and cholangitis in 2 patients and biliary infection in 2 patients.The incidence of bile leakage before 2006 was 14.00％ (7/50),which was significantly higher than 4.12％ (11/267) of bile leakage after 2006 (x2-7.676,P ＜ 0.05).Of the 38 patients with biliary complications,the condition of 35 patients was improved,and 3 patients died.Of the 18 patients with bile leakage,15 was cured by conservative treatment,3 received surgical treatment (the condition of 1 patient was improved by drainage,anti-infection treatment and nutritional support,but died of peritoneal hemorrhage at postoperative 1 month; 2 patients received peritoneal drainage,1 was cured and 1 died of peritoneal infection).For the 6 patients with intra-and extra-hepatic bile duct stricture,1 was cured by liver retransplantation and 5 were cured by conservative treatment,endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) or balloon dilation.For the 6 patients with anastomotic stricture,the condition of 3 patients was improved by conservative treatment,balloon dilation or stent implantation,1 gave up treatment due to hepatic cancer recurrence and died thereafter,1 received anastomosis + T tube drainage,1 was cured by recurrent tumor resection and choledochojejunostomy.Four patients with cholangitis in the portal area and cholestasis were cured by conservative treatment.For the 2 patients with choledocholithiasis and cholangitis,1 was cured by stent implantation with ERCP,and 1 received conservative treatment,and the level of total bilirubin was decreased.Two patients with biliary infection were cured by anti-infection treatment.Conclusions Most of the biliary complications could be treated by non-surgical treatments.For patients with severe biliary complications or those could not be treated by non-surgical treatment,re-exploration of the bile duct is effective.Liver re-transplantation is the only choice for patients with dysfunction of liver graft caused by severe ischemic biliary injury.

Objective To explore the relation between personality characteristics and event related potential P300 with internet addiction disorder(IAD) of youngsters.Methods Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and event related potential test were used for forty-two IAD and forty non-IAD in youngsters,and the results were compared between the two groups.Results The latency of N2,P3 ((267.2±24.2) ms,(374.5 ±22.0) ms) of event related potential in IAD group were significantly longer and the amplitude of P3 ((3.9± 2.5) μV) was significantly lower than those in non-IAD group((235.7±21.8) ms,(332.3±23.5) ms,(7.8±2.4) μV) (P＜0.01).And the indexes of P,N score (56.2±9.4,49.8±7.4) of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire were significant higher than those in non-IAD group(51.9±9.7,42.4±7.5)(P＜0.01),but the indexes of E,L score (45.7±9.0,44.3±7.9)of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire were significant lower than those in non-IAD group(51.2±9.4,50.9±8.3) (P＜0.01).Correlation analysis showed that there were remarkable positive correlation with latency of P300 and P,N score of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire respectively in IAD group(r=0.49,0.54,P＜0.01),and a significant negative correlation with E,L score(r=-0.43,-0.46,P＜0.01),there was a remarkable negative correlation with amplitude of P300 and P,N score of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire respectively in IAD group(r=-0.41,-0.50,P＜0.01),and a significant positive correlation with E,L score(r=0.45,0.47,P＜0.01).Conclusion IAD in youngsters has personality characteristics and cognitive dysfunction,and it has a relation with personality and event related potential P300.
