Objective To investigate the effects of radiofrequency thermocoagulation in relieving refractory pain of knee osteoarthritis in older patients.Methods A total of 18 patients with refractory pain of knee osteoarthritis were under treatment of radiofrequency thermocoagulation to denervation and compared to 20 patients with refractory pain of knee osteoarthritis which were under treatment of arthroscopy combined with compound betamethasone (control group).The Oxford knee score and visual analogue scale were used to evaluate the clinical effects before operation,at 1 week,4 weeks and 12 weeks after operation.Results There were significant decreases in both groups after operation than before operation(Foxford ＝4.12,3.98,FVAS ＝3.98,4.11,both P＜0.05),but there were no statistics differences between radiofrequency thermocoagulation group and control group at 1 week,4 weeks and 12 weeks after operation(toxford ＝ 1.215,1.426; tVAS＝1.319,1.123,0.867,P＞0.05).Conclusions The treatment of radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a minimally invasive method,which can relieve refractory pain of knee osteoarthritis in middle and older patients and recover knee function effectively.

This study is to investigate the mechanism of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells proliferation induced by alteronol in vitro. Human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of alteronol. Inhibition rate was detected by SRB assay. Cellular morphological changes were observed by Hoechst and AO/EB (acridine orange/ethidium bromide dye) staining. The apoptosis rate was determined by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. Western blotting analysis was carried out to determine the cell cycle related proteins. The proliferation of HL-60 cells treated with alteronol was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on cell viability assay, observation on cell morphology and apoptosis rate, it confirmed that alteronol played an obvious role in proliferation inhibition of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells, but it did not induce apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells in different concentrations groups. Alteronol could effectively inhibit the proliferation of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells inducing cell cycle arrest at G1 phase, as well as, alteration expression of cell cycle proteins level of CyclinD1 and pRb.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of terazosin combined with Qianlielongbitong in the treatment of non-bacterial prostatitis.Methods One hundred and two patients with non-bacterial prostatitis were divided into two groups:one group was treated with terazosin 4 mg qn and Qianlielongbitong,while the other group was treated with terazosin and Levoofloxacin.We compared three indices of chronic prostatitis symptom index (NIH-CPSI),prostatic secretion examination(EPS) and urodynamic data in three different steps:before treatment,after 4-week treatment and after 8-week treatment.Results The NIH-CPSI of both groups was greatly improved after treatment( all P ＜0.01 ).Inside the treatment group,the NIH-C-PSI after 8-week treatment was better than that after 4- week treatment ( all P ＜ 0.01 ).However,in both groups,there was no significant difference between the index after 8-week treatment and the one after 4 week.EPS,AFR and MFR were greatly improved in both groups( all P ＜0.01 ).Conclusion Terazosin can relieve the clinical symptom,and improve the life quality.

Objective To survey the incidence of sleep disorders among patients with industrial injuries and analyze the relevant factors.MethodsA total of 112 depressed patients ( male 106,female 6; aged 22-79 years,course of disease 35 d-25 years) were assessed by a professional psychologist using life satisfaction index A,the type A behavior pattern scale,the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the Barthel index.ResultsThe incidence of disordered sleep was 40.18％ (45/112),of whom mildly depressed patients were 34.29％,moderately depressed patients 42.86％ and severely depressed patients 85.71％.The incidence of sleep disorders increased with increasing depression severity.The incidence of disordered sleep was significantly higher among the severely depressed patients than among those mildly or moderately depressed,but there was no significant difference in incidence between moderately and mildly depressed patients.PSQI scores among the severely and moderately depressed patients were significantly higher than among those mildly depressed,but there was no statistically significant difference in average PSQI scores between the severely and moderately depressed patients.The sleep disorder group suffered significantly poorer sleep quality and took significantly longer to get to sleep.There were no significant differences in average age,educational level,marital status,social relations,family and social support,gender distribution or course of disease between the two groups.There were,however,significant differences in family income,life satisfaction,character type and disease species between the groups.ConclusionThe incidence of disordered sleep among depressed patients after industrial injury is correlated with the severity of depression,family income,life satisfaction,the type of injury and the patient's character.

With the continuous development of minimally invasive surgery, most of surgical procedures for digestive functional diseases have been conducted by minimal invasive approach. Based on decades of clinical practice, the authors focus on minimally invasive surgeries for a group of digestive functional diseases such as achalasia of cardia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, volvulus of stomach, gastroptosis, dolichocolon, refractory constipation, rectocele and rectal prolapse, and make ageneral summary on current status and prospects of its clinical application combined with literatures.

Objective:To explore the cancer incidence and mortality in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014.Methods:The data of 12 cancer registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014 were taken to analyze the characteristics of cancer incidence and mortality for patients with different age and gender in different areas. And then the results were compared with the malignant cancer incidence and mortality in the nationwide.Results:There were 11 703 new cases, including 6 559 males and 5 144 females in registration areas of Shanxi Province in 2014, and the incidence rate was 221.21/10 5, while the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population and world population was 163.91/10 5 and 163.25/10 5, respectively. The cancer incidence rate in urban areas was 247.02/10 5 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 171.35/10 5. In rural areas, the cancer incidence rate was 205.98/10 5 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 159.03/10 5. The common cancer sites were stomach, lung, esophagus, liver and colorectum for males. And breast, cervix, lung, esophagus, stomach were the common cancer sites for females. There were 7 283 malignant death cases, including 4 548 males and 2 735 females. The crude cancer mortality rate was 137.66/10 5, and the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population was 99.67/10 5 and world population was 100.11/10 5. The crude cancer mortality rate in urban areas was 141.03/10 5 and the age-standardized incidence rate of Chinese population was 92.84/10 5. In rural areas, the crude cancer mortality rate was 135.68/10 5 and the age-standardized mortality rate of Chinese population was 103.69/10 5. Male common malignant tumor deaths included lung cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer, while lung, stomach, liver, esophagus and cervix were the common cancer death sites for females. Conclusions:The incidence and mortality of malignant tumors in registration areas in Shanxi Province are mainly lung cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer and cervix uteri cancer. The incidence rates of stomach cancer and cervical cancer are high.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of norcantharidin (NCTD) on the proliferation and apoptosis of triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.Western blot was used to detect the effect of NCTD on the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins Bax/Bcl-2, cleaved-PARP/PARP/PARP, cleved-caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-3 and MCL-1 in MDA-MB-231 cells.Also, the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3-II/LC3-I, Parkin and PINK1 in MDA-MB-231 cells were measured by Western blot.Flow cytometry was used to measure the effect of NCTD on the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS).The effect of NCTD on autophagy flow in cells expressing mCherry-EGFP-LC3 was detected by a confocal microscope.Moreover, the effects of NCTD combined with chloroquine (CQ) or 3-methyladenine (3-MA) on the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by flow cytometry.The results showed that NCTD significantly increased the expression levels of Bax/Bcl-2, cleaved-PARP/PARP, cleaved-caspase-9, cleasved-caspase-3 and LC3-II/LC3-I proteins, and promoted the mitochondrial translocation of Parkin, and blocked the autophagic flow in MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, NCTD combined with CQ accelerated apoptosis, while NCTD combined with 3-MA decreased apoptosis.These results suggest that NCTD can induce autophagy accumulation and lead to apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells.
