Objective To explore the correlation between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.Methods HCV infection of 208 NHL patients was investigated from the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University.Patients with leukemia or other tumors,and healthy people were used as the control and were pair matched on age and gender.ELISA method was used to detect the HCV-antibody in serum.Results HCV-antibody positive rate in NHL patients [11.5 ％ (24/208)] was significantly higher than those in leukemia patients [3.8 ％ (8/208)] (x2 =8.667,P =0.003),patients with other tumors (6/208,2.9 ％) (x2 =11.639,P =0.001) and healthy people [1.0 ％ (2/208)] (x2 =19.856,P =0.000).Conclusion HCV infection is related to NHL in Henan area.

Aim To study the absorption kinetics of se-ries molecular weight 5-ASA-mPEG in rats intestine. Methods The in situ intestinal absorption property of 5-ASA-mPEG in rats was investigated by means of sin-gle-pass perfusion, and HPLC method was established to determine the drug concentration in the perfusate. Results The drug concentration and the site of intes-tine segments had little effect on the drug absorption constant ( Ka ) and apparent absorption coefficient (Papp). The perfusion flow rate and the variable mo-lecular weight of 5-ASA-mPEG could significantly af-fect the Ka and Papp. Conclusion 5-ASA-mPEG can be absorbed at all segments of the intestine of rats and has no specific absorption site. It is preliminarily in-ferred that the absorption mechanism of 5-ASA-mPEG is passive transportation. The intestinal absorption of 5-ASA-mPEG shows a downward trend with the increase in molecular weight. The results shows that the modifi-cation of 5-ASA by PEG can effectively inhibit the in-testinal absorption of mesalazine.

Objective To investigate the influence of Smac to the chemosensitivity of cyclophosphamide (CTX) and doxorubicin (DOX) in MCF-7 cells.Methods MCF-7 cells were exposed to CTX,DOX and the combination of both.3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazoly)-2,5-diphenyl-2 H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to estimate the cell viability.Apoptosis was measured by acridine orange staining and Ho.33342/PI dou-ble staining.The mRNA and protein expressions of Smac were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting.The study also analyzed the changes of pro-apoptotic proteins active caspase-3 and active caspase-9.Results CTX,DOX and the combination of both drugs reduced the cell survival rates in a concentration-dependent manner.The cell viability after being treated with 4.0 μg/ml CTX or 0.2 μg/ml DOX or 2.0 μg/ml CTX and 0.1 μg/ml DOX for 48 hours was (52.90 ± 8.78) ％,(53.35 ± 6.29) ％ and (34.19 ± 5.43) ％,respectively.The drug combination developed a stronger inhibitory effect compared to the single drugs (t =9.051,P=0.014;t =9.074,P =0.014).The Smac mRNA and protein levels in 2.0 μg/ml CTX and 0.1 μg/ml DOX group were 7.47 ± 0.82 and 4.13 ± 0.36,which were higher than those in 4.0 μg/ml CTX group (3.27 ± 0.40 and 2.28 ± 0.27;t =-50.120,P =0.000;t =-42.588,P =0.000) and 0.2 μg/ml DOXgroup (3.34±0.62and2.45±0.40;t=-46.233,P=0.000;t=-39.541,P=0.000).Furthermore,pro-apoptotic proteins active caspase-3 and active caspase-9 increased activity was confirmed by Western blotting.Conclusion Smac plays a vital role in enhancing the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs CTX and DOX in MCF-7 cell line.

Objective To analyze the clinical prevalence,distributed characteristic of different ages,clinical characteristics and pathogenic factors of chronic abdominal pain in children.Methods A database in which outpa-tient and inpatient of abdominal pain during 2 -14 years old were collected from January 2011 to December 2015 was established by utilizing HIS system.A statistical analysis was made in age,sex,onset time,time of duration,mesenteric lymph node status and surgical situation.Results A total of 13 256 times abdominalgia were enrolled from January 2011 to December 2015.7 390 patients were diagnosed as unexplained abdominal pain,including 1 005 patients (13.59%)were diagnosed as chronic abdominal pain.A male -to -female ratio was 1.06:1.The average age was 6 years(ranged 2 -14 years).The average age of the boys was (6.02 ±2.87)years,which of the girls was (5.93 ± 2.79)years,there was no statistically significant difference between them(t =0.47,P =0.63).The peak age of chro-nic abdominal pain in children was mainly from 3 to 7 years old.The incidence decreased with age increased.The average time of duration was (16.70 ±11.69)months,that of the boys was (17.39 ±12.12)months,and that of the girls was (15.96 ±11.19)months,there was statistically significant difference between them(t =1.93,P =0.05). Mesenteric lymphadenectasis was detected in 731 patients(72.74%).The age constituent ratio decreased with age increased.The peak age of the prevalence coincided with peak age of the mesenteric lymphadenectasis.21 patients underwent surgical procedures,organic lesions accounted for 2.08%.Conclusion The peak age of the prevalence of chronic abdominal pain in children is mainly from 3 to 7 years old.Potential organic causes are rarely linked to chronic abdominal pain in children.Most of them are functional abdominal pain.The appendix and mesenteric lymphadenecta-sis might play an important role in children with chronic abdominal pain.The therapeutic aim of CAP in children is to make the children back to their normal life by exclude the organic causes and relieve their pain.The natural history of chronic abdominal pain suggests that symptoms remit spontaneously with increasing age.

Objective To evaluate the effects of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) on mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of IABP compared with non-IABP control in AMI patients, from January 1970 to May 2015, were searched from MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science.The data were analyzed with software RevMan 5.0.Results Five RCTs involving 1 450 AMI patients, including 722 treated with IABP (IABP group) and 728 without IABP (non-IABP group), were included for analysis.Compared with non-IABP group, IABP did not significantly decrease the hospital mortality or 30-day mortality (OR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.69-1.25,P=0.61).According to the timing of IABP before or after PCI, it was further divided into IABP-before-PCI subgroup and IABP-after-PCI subgroup.Compared with non-IABP group, the 30-day mortality was not decreased in IABP-before-PCI subgroup or in IABP-after-PCI subgroup (OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.23-1.78,P=0.39;OR=1.25, 95%CI: 0.42-3.77,P=0.69, respectively).According to complicating with cardiogenic shock (CS) or not, patients were divided to AMI with CS subgroup and AMI with no-CS subgroup;the hospital or 30-day mortality were not significantly decreased in both subgroups (OR=0.96, 95%CI: 0.70-1.32,P=0.80;OR=0.68, 95%CI: 0.28-1.70,P=0.27, respectively).Conclusion IABP does not decrease the 30-day mortality of AMI patients treated with PCI.

Objective To study the role of endothelial cells on the inflammatory cytokine release in septic shock through the septic shock serum stimulating human primary endothelial cells (HPAEC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC).Methods PBMC isolated from healthy people by density gradient centrifugation.HPAEC cell surface markers CD144 and von Willebrand factor(vWF) molecule expression by RT-PCR and Western blot.Serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 from septic shock patients and healthy human detected by ELISA.HPAEC and PBMC were stimulated with the isolated serums and LPS,respectively.ELISA was used to detect the supernatant IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 levels.HPAEC membrane molecules ICAM-1 expression was detected by flow cytometry with serum shock and LPS stimulation.Supernatant levels of IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 of HPAEC with S1P1 receptor agonist CYM-5442 pretreatment was detected by ELISA after shock serum stimulation.Results Endothelial cell markers CD144 and vWF molecules could be detected in the HPAEC.Levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 in patients with septic shock serum were significantly higher than healthy people (P＜0.01).PBMC and HPAEC with LPS or shock serum treatment respectively,compared with normal group,levels of inflammatory cytokines in the culture supernatant were significantly higher(P＜0.01).For PBMC,the level of inflammatory cytokines between shock group and LPS group were not significantly different (P＞0.05).But for HPAEC,levels of inflammatory cytokines in the supernatant of the shock group compared to the LPS group was significantly higher (P＜0.01).Similarly,when two cells after LPS stimulation,IL-6,TNF-α levels of HPAEC's supernatant were significantly lower than PBMC' s (P＜0.01),MCP-1 levels was no difference (P＞ 0.05).But when the stimulation of shock serum,HPAEC of IL-6,TNF-α levels and PBMC no significant difference (P ＞0.05).MCP-1 was significantly increased (P＜0.01).Shock patients serum stimulation S1P1 receptorspecific agonist CYM-5442 pretreatment of HPAEC with pretreatment of S1P1 receptor specific agonist CYM-5442,the culture supernatant of inflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF-α,MCP-1 levels were significantly lower (P＜0.01).Conclusion Endothelial cells may play a central role on the release of inflammatory cytokine during septic shock.

objective To evaluate the effect of intensive diabetes health education plus web-based follow-up program on metabolic control.Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were assigned to receive intensive diabetes health education plus web-based follow-up (treatment group,n=57) or conventional education program (control group,n=58).Hemoglobin Alc(HbAlc),body mass index (BMI),lipid profile,and blood pressure were compared at 3 or 6 month with baseline.Results At 3 month.the patients with HbAlc<6.5% in the treatment group was increased from 26.32% to 80.79%.At 6 month.HbAlC was decreased by 2.10% and 1.13% in the treatment or control group.In contrast to the control group,in the treatment group,the patient with BMI<24 increased from 43.86% to 68.42%.Neither groups showed significant changes in blood pressure.Conclusion Intensive diabetes education may be more effective than conventional program in improving metabolic control.

BACKGROUND: Acidic fibrobiast growth factor can regulate cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival, also can down-regulate the known inhibitor of axon regeneration, such as proteoglycan, help axons overcome these inhibitory factors, and have significant role on the regeneration of nerve fibers.OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility and effect of the acidic fibroblast growth factor combined with peripheral nerve transplantation in the treatment of high-level spinal cord injury in rats.METHODS: A total of adult 108 female SD rats were randomly divided into autologous nerve group, autologous nerve combined .with acidic fibroblast growth factor group, and high-level spinal cord injury group. The rat T_(8-10) spinous process and lamina were bite, revealing dural sac, high-level spinal cord was resected at a horizon level, cutting 3 mm, no nerve fibers were confirmed to be attached under the microscope. In the autogenous nerve group and autologous nerve combined with acidic fibroblast growth factor group, bilateral the 8~(th) to 10~(th) pairs of intercostal nerves were harvested 2 cm, then cross-transplanted into high-level spinal cord defect (proximal white matter and distal gray matter, distal white matter and proximal gray matter), fibrin gel and fibrin gel containing acidic fibroblast growth factor were used respectively to fix the implanted intercostal nerve, followed by dural suture.High-level spinal cord transection group was subjected to exclusion between stumps. At 90 days postoperation, somatosensory evoked potential and motor evoked potential were used to test nerve electrophysiological recovery. At 76 days postoperation,biotinylated dextran amine anterograde tracing was applied to observe the motor conduction bundle recovery. At 60 days postoperation, hindlimb motor function recovery was assessed by BBB score.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The somatosensory and motor evoked potential waveforms were not elicited in rats of high-level spinal cord transaction group, but did elicit in autogenous nerve group and autologous nerve combined acidic fibroblast growth factor group. The average latency and amplitude of somatosensory and motor evoked potentials, as well as BBB scores in autologous nerve combined acidic fibrobiast growth factor group were significantly superior to autologous nerve group (P ＜ 0.01).In the autogenous nerve group and autologous nerve combined acidic fibroblast growth factor group, many more biotinylated daxtran amine-positive nerve fibers passed in the damage zone, compared with high-level spinal cord transection group (P ＜0,01), the autologous nerve combined acidic fibrobiast growth factor group was more than autogenous nerve group (P ＜ 0.01). It is indicated that autologous peripheral nerve graft acidic flbroblast growth factor can better restore the limb motor functions of rats after high-level spinal cord injury.

BACKGROUND:Present studies mainly focused on in vitro culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)and cell transplantation for treating intracalvarium diseases.However,the understanding of survival,differentiation,migration and structure of transplanted cells in the damaged spinal cord is limited.OBJECTIVE:To explore effects of local BMSC transplantation in repair of spinal cord damage and feasibility of replacement therapy of BMSCs.METHODS:Adult healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to cell transplantation and control groups.Rat models of spinal cord transection damage were established.Rat BMSC suspension or calcium and magnesium phosphate buffer were transplanted immediately after injury to the damage zone.At 1 day,1,2,3,4 and 8 weeks before and after transplantation,BBB score motor function was observed in rats,and at 1 week after transplantation,immunohistochemical staining was utilized to observe BrdU-labeled BMSC survival in the spinal cord damaged site.At 4 weeks after transplantation,the general observation and histological detection were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 1-8 weeks after transplantation,BBB scores were higher in the cell transplantation group than in the control group.At 1 week following surgery,immunohistochemical staining showed that BrdU-positive cells were detected in the distal end of rat spinal cord in the cell transplantation group.At 4 weeks following surgery,nerve fibers were found in the damaged spinal cord.These verified that BMSCs were transplanted into rat damaged spinal cord immediately following damage,and the transplanted cells could survive.Living BMSCs can differentiate into neurons,and formed neuron pathway in the local region of damage,which will promote the recovery of conduction function of spinal nerve fibers,and contribute to the recovery of rat hindlimb motor function following high-level spinal cord injury.
