ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effect of sulfasalazine capsulae enterosolubilis with Yunnanbaiyao for ulcerative colitis. MethodsSixty patients with ulcerative colitis were randomly divided into two groups,thirty cases in treatment group and thirty cases in control group. Patients in treatment group received sulfasalazine capsulae enterosolubilis with Ytmnanbaiyao orally,patients in control group were given sulfasalazine capsulae enterosolubilis orally only. ResultsThe total effective rate of treatment group was 90. 0％ ,clinical recovery rate was 73.3％ ;The total effective rate of control group was 66.7％ ,clinical recovery rate was 43.3％ ,the differences was statistically significant(P ＜0.05). ConclusionThe clinical effect of sulfasalazine capsulae enterosolubilis with Yunnanbaiyao for ulcerative colitis was good,and should be used furthedy.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of nano-alumina(nano-Al2 O3 )on mitophagy in primary cortical neuronal cells from Wistar newborn rats. METHODS The purity of neuronal cells was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay was performed to determine the viability of the cells treated with 13 nm nano-Al2 O3 0.5 mmol·L-1 for 12,24 and 48 h,respectively. The mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)was detected by flow cytometry analysis . The ultrastructure of mitochondria and mitophagy vacuoles was observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Auto-phagic vacuoles were observed by dansylpentanediamine(MDC)staining and the expression of autoph-agy related protein Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/ Ⅰ was determined by Western blotting. Mitophagy was observed by Lysotracker and Mitotracker staining respectively. RESULTS More than 95% cells were neuronal cells. The activity of LDH in the supernatant liquid exposed to nano-Al2 O3 for 12 and 24 h groups was sig-nificantly increased compared with the control group(P﹤0.05). After exposure to nano-Al2 O3 ,the mito-chondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased compared with the control group( P ﹤0.01). The results of TEM displayed mitochondrial swelling and the formation of vacuoles and mitophagy in nano-Al2 O3 groups. MDC positive fluorescence particles were observed and the expression of autophagy related protein Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/ Ⅰ was increased in nano-Al2 O3 groups compared with the control group( P ﹤ 0. 05 ). The result of Lysotracker and Mitotracker colocalization showed the fusion of mitochondria and lysosomals. CONCULSION Nano-Al2 O3 may induce autophagy and mitochondria damage in neuronal cells while the damaged mitochondria may be removed by mitophagy.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential neurotoxicity of nano-alu mina (<50 n m)in vivo, we treated the ICR mouse with the nano-alu mina to investigate the mitochondrial da mage of nerve cells on morphology and function.METHODS Adult male mice were exposed to nano-alu mina (<50 n m)of 0,25,50 and 75 mg·kg -1 by nasal instillation for 1 month.Then we observed the mitochondrial ultra-structure of the nerve cells in CA3 region of hippoca mpus,and measured the mean dia meter in every group.The activities of Na +-K +-ATPase and Ca2 +-Mg2 +-ATPase were tested by the determination of the inorganic phosphorus,which was the deco mposition product of ATPase.Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of COX-Ⅳ,Beclin1 ,LC3Ιand LC3Ⅱ.RESULTS Co mpared with 0 and 25 mg·kg -1 groups exposed to Al2 O3 nanopartilces (Al2 O3 NPs),the mitochondria of CA3 region in hip-poca mpus in 50 mg·kg -1 group beca me ede matous and swollen with sparse and broken cristae sur-rounding the nuclear,and the mean dia meter was higher(0.49 ±0.02 μm,P <0.05).But co mpared with 50 mg·kg -1 group,the mitochondria in 75 mg·kg -1 group beca me s maller with inner cristae of high density,and the mean dia meter was lower(0.36 ±0.02 μm,P<0.05).The enzy me activity of the mito-chondria in cerebral cortex decreased dose-dependently with exposure,the activities of Na +-K +-ATPase in 50 and 75 mg·kg -1 groups(6.37 ±0.22 kU·g -1 protein,5.48 ±1 .53 kU·g -1 protein)and Ca2 +-Mg2 +-ATPase in 50 and 75 mg·kg -1 groups (3.21 ±0.99 kU·g -1 protein,3.28 ±0.15 kU·g -1 protein)were lower than the 0 mg·kg -1 group(P<0.05).Meanwhile,the Ca2 +-Mg2 +-ATPase in 50 and 75 mg·kg -1 groups showed lower activities in co mparison with the 25 mg·kg -1 group.The 75 mg·kg -1 group expressed higher level of the COX-Ⅳ protein 1 .35 ±0.66(P<0.05)than other groups.Both expression of Beclin1 protein and rate of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰin 75 mg·kg -1 group were more than the 0 mg·kg -1 group. CONCLUSION The mitochondrial dysfunction may be the potential neurotoxicity of nano-alu mina,and the da maged mitochondria were cleared by autophagy.

Objective To compare the effect of octreotide combined with omeprazole and omeprazole alone in the treament of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods Clinical data of 101 patients with gastrointesinal bleeding were retrospectively analyzed.According to the treatment,the patients were divided into the observation group(56 cases) and control group(45 cases).The patients in observation group were given octreotide and omeprazole,and patients in control group were given omeprazol alone.Then the results of the two groups were analyzed.Results The total effective rate of observation group was 91.07％,and was higher than that of the control group(73.33％) (x2 =5.61,P ＜0.05) ;The average hemostasis time of observation group was (15.9 ±3.9)h,and was shorter than that of the control group [(23.5 ± 4.7) h] (t =1.937,P ＜ 0.05) ; The hemoglobin level of the observation group was (116.7 ± 12.4) g/h after 72 hours treatment,and was higher than that of the control group [(91.5 ± 17.3) g/h] (t =2.013,P ＜ 0.05) ;The pH of observation group was higher than that of control group after 12h,24h,48h and 72h treatment(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Octreotide combined with omeprazole is effective for upper gastrointesinal bleeding,and it can shorten the bleeding time and improve the cure rate.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms of IVS13-98G/T of human protection of telomeres 1 (hPOT1) genes and gastric cancer. Methods A total of 168 patients with gastric cancer (gastric cancer group) who had been admitted to Wuwei Cancer Hospital, Wuwei People's Hospital and Liangzhou District Hospital from December 2005 to July 2006 and 156 healthy people (control group) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, and the relationship between the distribution of genotypes and the risk faetors of gastric cancer was analyzed. The distribution of genotypes and allele frequency between the 2 groups were compared by chi-square test. Hardy-weinberg equilibrium test was adopted to determine whether the distribution of genotypes and allele frequency were representative. Relative risk and 95% confidence interval were calculated by non-conditional Logistic regression model. Results The frequencies of genotypes GG, GT and TT of hPOT1IVS13-98 G/T were 21.4%, 41.7% and 36.9% in gastric cancer group, and 24.4%, 51.9% and 23.7% in control group. The allele frequencies of G- and T-allele were 42.3%, 57.7% in gastric cancer group, and 49.7%, 50.3% in control group. There was no significant difference in allele frequencies of G- and T-allele between the 2 groups (X~2=3.58, P>0.05). Compared with genotype TT, the relative risks for GT and GG were 0.439 (95% CI: 0.251-0.767, P < 0.05) and 0.514 (95 % CI: 0.264-0.999, P=0.05). There was no influence of different genotypes of hPOT1IVS13-98 G/T, sex, smoking history, family history of cancer on gastric cancer. Conclusion Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of IVS13-98G/T of hPOT1 may be a protective factor of gastric cancer.
