Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of portal azygous devascularization on patients with portal hypertension. Methods In this study, data of 212 patients with portal hypertension who underwent devascularization were analyzed retrospectively. Among them 52% patients had a history of variceal bleeding. Preoperative Child A accounted for 15% patients, B for 57% and C for 27%. Emergent operation and selective operation were performed in 11% and 89% cases, respectively. Hassab procedure was performed in 176 cases (83%), whereas modified Sugiura procedure in 36 cases (17%). Results Portal vein pressure decreased from (40?6) cm?H 2O to (36?7) cm?H 2O. The re-bleeding rate of 3, 5,10 years were 2%, 6%, 11%, and the survival rates of 3, 5, 10 years were 97%, 92% and 89%, respectively. Conclusions Devascularization is an effective procedure in controlling bleeding with low incidence of liver failure, operation mortality and encephalopathy. Emergent operation should be avoided as it causes high morbidity and mortality. The decreased portal pressure following devascularization may result in a reduced blood supply to the liver. Persistent exasperation of the liver function caused by chronic hepatitis and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma are the two major factors endangering long-term survival.

DPS software was applied in the calculation. RESULTS: Prepared by the direct powder compression technology, the optimal formula of Angelica micropowder was obtained as follows: the hardness of the optimized tablet could reach as high as 75 N and the disintegrating time was about 10.24 min, with smooth and intact surface. CONCLUSION:The technology is reasonable in formulation and satisfactory in molding, and it can serve as theoretical basis for the production of Angelica tablets.

AIM:To explore the effect of GATA6 gene silencing on apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh-7 cells.METHODS:RNA interference vectors of the target gene GATA6 mediated by lentivirus were constructed in vitro to transfect the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Huh-7.The apoptotic rate of transfected cells was measured by flow cytome-try.The protein expression of GATA6, NF-κB and Bcl-2 in transfected cells was determined by Western blotting.RE-SULTS:The transfection efficiency was 57.4%.The mRNA and protein expression of GATA6 reduced significantly after the carcinoma cell line Huh-7 being transfected by RNA interference vectors mediated by lentivirus.The apoptotic rate of the carcinoma cells with silent GATA6 gene was significantly increased (P<0.05).The protein expression levels of NF-κB and Bcl-2 were also significantly decreased.CONCLUSION: Lentiviral vector-mediated RNA interference of GATA6 has an inhibitory effect on the expression of the gene itself, and promotes the apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Regu-lation of the apoptosis-related protein expression by the NF-κB signaling to influence the proliferation and apoptosis of hepa-tocellular carcinoma cells might be one of the possible mechanisms.

To investigate the prevalence and the antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from 25 miniature pigs. 45 bacterial strains were isolated, which were identified by biochemical assays, amplification of 16S rRNA genes by PCR and sequence analysis, and were evaluated for resistance to 30 antibiotics. The identification results showed that these bacteria belonged to Campylobacter (Campylobacter jejuni), Helicobacterium (Helicobacter pylori), Klebsiella (Klebsiella pneumoniae), Escherichia (Escherichia coli, Escherichia fergusonii), Pseudomonas (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Stenotrophomonas (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia), Staphylococcus (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus simulans), Streptococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus suis, Streptococcus vestibularis, Streptococcus mitis, Gemella measles, Aerococcus viridans) and Bacillus (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus alvei, Bacterium megaterium). These bacteria were all susceptible to aztreonam and cephalothin. However, the resistence to furazolidone was found. Microbial population carried by miniature pigs in China had characters of diversity. Results of this study provided scientifical accordance for the microorganism monitoring of miniature pigs in China.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Jianpi Qinghua Recipe (JPQHR) on oxygen radicals and transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1) in renal tissue in a rat model of chronic renal failure with hyperlipidemia. METHODS: Chronic renal failure with hyperlipidemia was induced in rats in untreated group and JPQHR-treated group by 5/6 nephrectomy and high fat diet. Then the rats in these two groups were fed distilled water and JPQHR respectively for eight weeks. The rats in normal control group received no specific interventions. After eight weeks of treatment, the levels of 24 h urine protein (Upr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr), cholesterol (Ch), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) of rats in these three groups were examined. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and expression level of TGFbeta1 mRNA in renal tissue of rats in each groups were also determined. RESULTS: The levels of 24 Upr, BUN and serum Cr, Ch, TG and LDL in the JPQHR-treated group were significantly lower than those in the untreated group. The contents of MDA and NEFA and the expression level of TGFbeta1 mRNA in the JPQHR-treated group were also significantly lower than those in the untreated group, while the activity of SOD was significantly increased in the JPQHR-treated group as compared with that in the untreated group. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that JPQHR can improve the renal function of rats with chronic renal failure and hyperlipidemia by regulating lipid metabolism, maintaining balance between prooxidants and antioxidants and reducing expression of TGFbeta1 mRNA in renal tissue.

Objective To study the mRNA and protein expressions of the neurofilament in the region of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) of rats after olfactory ensheating cells (OECs) transplantation combined with methyprednisolone administration and investigate the molecular mechanisms of OECs transplantation combined with methyprednisolone administration in promoting the recovery of the spinal cord.Methods Acute spinal cord injury was established in SD rats ( T10 ) by using NYU instrument. The rats were randomly divided into control group, SCI group, DF12 group, OECs transplantation group,methyprednisolone administration group and OECs + methyprcdnisolone group. The mRNA and protein expressions of the neurofilament in the SCI regions of rats in different groups at different time points were detected by using immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results A significant increase of mRNA and protein expressions of the neurofilament could be found in the other five groups compared with the control group at days 7, 14 and 28 after SCI. The mRNA and protein expressions of the neurofilament in the injury region of the OECs group, the methyprednisolone group and the OECs + MP group were more significantly increased than that of the SCI group and the DF12 group. The expression of the neurofilament in the injury region of the OECs + MP group was more significantly increased than that of the OECs group and the MP group ( P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions OECs transplantation or methyprednisolone administration can induce the mRNA and protein expressions of the neurofilament. Meanwhile, OECs transplantation combined with methyprednisolone administration can significantly increase the mRNA and protein expressions of the neurofilament, as may be one of mechanisms promoting spinal cord repair.
