Objective To investigate whether a novel mucosal adjuvant (DNA containing six base pair motifs consisting of an unmethylated CpG dinucleotide flanked by two 5′ purines and two 3′ pyrimidines, CpG Oligodeoxynucleotide, CpG ODN),which has not been shown to have significant toxicity,could be an ideal mucosal adjuvant for the development of a H. pylori vaccine in mice model. Methods C57BL/6 mice were orally or intranasally immunized with H. pylori whole cell sonicate(WCS) / cholera toxin (CT) or WCS /CpG ODN, and the corresponding control groups were set. Mice were dosed once a week for four weeks. One week after the last immunization, all animals were challenged by live H. pylori (5?10 8) three times in a five day duration. Two and 8 weeks after the last challenge, all animals were sacrificed to examine infection of H. pylori. Sera, saliva, gastric juice were collected to measure the concentrations of IgG, IgG1, IgG2a and IgA by ELISA. Results The protecting rates against H. pylori infection were 75%(9/12), 70% (7/10) and 0 (0/10) in the group of WCS/CT orally, WCS/CpG ODN intranasally and WCS/CpG ODN orally, respectively. Significantly higher levels of serum IgG2a antibody was found in the group immunized with WCS plus CpG ODN than those found in the sham immunized controls ( P

Metformin is a first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recently, some clinical studies have been published reporting a reduced incidence of various neoplastic disease (eg. breast cancer, endometrial cancer and gastrointestinal cancer) in diabetic or nondiabetic patients treated with metformin. Metformin inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin by activating liver kinase B1 (LKB1)/adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) or decreases blood insulin levels, resulting in inhibition of cancer cell growth. There are also many other mechanisms involved in anti-tumor effect of metformin. Although metformin has significant effect on cancers, the prospects for it as an alternative treatment modality and mechanism in various kinds of tumors need further research.

Objective To evaluate the influences of femoral rotation on dynamic alignment of the lower extremity in TKA by computer assisted surgical technology.Methods From July 2013 to August 2013,76 consecutive patients with knee osteoarthritis undergone primary-single TKA in our hospital were enrolled,including 46 males and 30 females,aged from 64 to 78 years (average,71 years).All surgeries were completed by the same professional doctor.The PFC (fixed-bearing posterior stabilized) Sigma rotating-platform was selected for all patients,and computer navigation system (Stryker(R) Navigation System Ⅱ-Cart (Stryker corporation,Kalamazoo,Michigan,USA) was used.External rotation osteotomy of the distal femur during TKA was completed according to the pre-operative external rotation angle (ERA),intraoperative transepicondylar axis (TEA) and anteroposterior (AP) line.Passive dynamic alignment of the lower extremity during knee flexion was recorded.The variation trend of hip-knee-ankle (HKA) alignment and the influences of femoral external rotation osteotomy were analysed.Results ERA calculated by the computer navigation system according to Whiteside line,TEA and the mean of Whiteside line and TEA was 5.54°±2.86°,5.21°±2.60° and 5.34°±2.38°.Compared with the ERA measured by CT,no method was better than the other two.Postoperative deviation of HKA alignment from 0° to 90° flexion was associated with the rotational alignment of the femoral component.Trend of HKA alignment during knee flexion tended to be varus,valgus or neutral according to different angles of external rotation osteotomy of the distal femur.Conclusion The HKA alignment changes during the knee flexions.External rotation osteotomy of the distal femur played a crucial role in determining dynamic HKA alignment in TKA.

Conclusions It is more effective modus with nitinol stent implantation for patients with airway stenosis, but there were great differences of postoperative complications between malignant and benign tracheobronchial stenosis.

Objective To determine the Golgi dispersal in radiation damaged cells and the protective effect of vanillin derivatives.Methods Immunofluorescence, cell cycle analysis of flow-cytometry,Western blot,and clone formation were used.Results Immunofluorescence observation showed that the Golgi dispersal caused by 2 Gy 60 Coγ-ray was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner in the range of 4-10 Gy as was demonstrated by the fact that the Golgi area was significantly increased. When the irradiated cells were treated with the radioprotective agent VND3207, a vanillin derivative,the Golgi dispersal induced by radiation was significantly reduced.The radiation-induced Golgi dispersal was also displayed in a pattern of time-course after irradiation in the HeLa cells, and persisted at least to 36 h post-irradiation. Cell cycle test results indicated that the Golgi dispersal was not associated with the G2/M arrest triggered by radiation-induced DNA damage response.VND3207 could promote cell survival by plate colony formation assay.Conclusion The Golgi dispersal can be caused byγ-ray irradiation in a dose-and time-dependent manner, and VND3207 can provide a good protection against radiation injury associated with inhibited Golgi dispersal.

Objective To investigate the effects of Yindan Xinnaotong Capsule on the osteoponin(OPN)expression in myocardium tissue of the rats after acute myocardial infarction(AMI)and to clarify the mechanism of Yindan Xinnaotong Capsule in alienating rat AMI.Methods 90 Wistar rats were used to establish AMI models by ligating of the left anterior descending coronary artery.The AMI model rats were randomly divided into AMI model group, highdoseofYindan(16g·kg-1·d-1)group,lowdoseofYindan(0.08g·kg-1·d-1)group,positivedrug control captopril(5 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 )group(n=12);at the same time sham operation group(n=10)was set up, the rats in sham operation group was treated with wearing without ligation. All the rats were administrated for 4 weeks,then the myocardium tissue samples were obtained.The histological changes of myocardium tissue were observed by HE and Masson staining;the DNA fragments of apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL staining and the apoptotic index(AI)was calculated.The expression of OPN mRNA in non-infarction area was measured by RT-PCR.Results Compared with sham operation group,the AI of the rats in model group was significantly increased (P<0.05);compared with model group,the AI of the rats in Yindan groups and captopril group were markedly decreased(P<0.01 );compared with captopril group, the AI of the rats in high dose of Yindan group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Compared with sham operation group,the expression level of OPN mRNA in non-infarction area of the rats in model group was significantly increased(P<0.01);compared with model group, the expression levels of OPN mRNA in non-infarction area of the rats in Yindan groups and captopril group were also decreased significantly(P<0.01);compared with captopril group,the expression level of OPN mRNA non-infarction area of the rats in high dose of Yindan group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Yindan Xinnaotong Capsule could obviously alleviate the apoptosis of myocardium tissue of the rats after acute myocardial infarction and decrease the expression of OPN mRNA in non-infarction area of left ventricle, which indicates that Yindan Xinnaotong Capsule may protect myocardium tissue through decreasing the OPN mRNA expression.
