Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(1):111-7
The transplants of one-year-old Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. were subjected to five concentrations of MnSO4-H2O (0, 1.81, 18.1, 36.2 and 54.3 mg·L(-1)) culturing in vermiculite. qRT-PCR and HPLC were respectively used to measure the relative expression of SQS1 gene and the content of glycyrrhizic acid of G. uralensis in different concentrations of MnSO4·H2O. This is to explore discuss the effects of the expression of SQS1 gene and the accumulation of glycyrrhizic acid by Mn treatment. The results showed both the expression of SQS1 gene and the content of glycyrrhzic acid of G. uralensis tended to rise after the fall of the first with the increase of concentration of Mn treatment. And they were of very significant positive correlation (P<0.01, r=0.737). Relative expression of SQS1 gene reached the highest 7.90 under 18.1 mg·L(-1) MnSO4·H2O treatment. It was very significantly different between 18.1 mg·L(-1) concentration of MnSO4·H2O treatment and CK (0 mg·L(-1)), 1.81, 36.2 and 54.3 mg·L(-1) (P<0.01), and 1.75, 1.37, 1.37, 2.33 times respectively. The content of glycyrrhizic acid reached the highest under 1.81 and 18.1 mg·L(-1) MnSO4·H2O treatment, and there were not significant difference (P>0.05). It was very significantly different between them and other concentrations of MnSO4·H2O treatment (P<0.01). This study suggests the appropriate concentration of Mn treatment could certain promote the expression of SQS1 gene and the accumulation of glycyrrhizic acid of G. uralensis.

Objective To assess these in a consecutive series of patients with ICC treated surgically. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 189 ICC patients undergoing surgery.Surgical results and survival were evaluated and compared among different subgroups of patients.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors.Results R0,R1,R2 resection and exploratory laparotomy were obtained in 63,84,31 and 11 patients,respectively.The overall 5 -year survival rates for the entire cohort were 16.8%,with corresponding rates of 26.3% for patients with R0 resection;14.3% for patients with R1 resection;6.8% for patients with R2 resection;and 0.0% for patients with an exploratory laparotomy.Independent factors for poor survival included positive resection margin,multiple tumors,beta - catenin nuclear expression and lymph node metastasis. Conclusion R0 resection offers the best possibility of long -term survival,but the chance of a R0 resection is low when surgery is performed for potential resectable ICC.Patients with characteristics of beta -catenin nuclear expres-sion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis are indicated to surgery which is needed to be further studied.

BACKGROUND:Some control studies attempt to answer the advantages and disadvantages of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy for acute spinal cord injury in adults, but have arrived at different conclusions. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy on acute spinal cord injury in adults by Meta analysis. METHODS:PubMed, Embase, Cochranel Library, CBMdisc, VIP and WanFang Databases were searched by computer, and relevant Chinese and English orthopedic journals were retrieved by hand. Controled trials related to high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy of acute spinal cord injury in adults were included. The methodology quality of included trials was criticaly assessed. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine clinical controled trials were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the conventional therapy, the neurological recovery rate after 24 hours of administration, pneumonia incidence and gastrointestinal reactions increased significantly after high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy. However, there were no statistical differences in the rate of urinary tract infection, nonunion rate and stress ulcer incidence between these two therapies. These findings indicate that the high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy on acute spinal cord injury in adults has better outcomes in neurological function recovery, but can lead to higher incidence of lung infection and gastrointestinal reactions. Therefore, lung infection and gastrointestinal reactions should be avoided as much as possible during the course of treatment.
