Objective To study the expression of HIF-1αand and its correlation with gastric cancer recurrence, and to identify its prog-nosis evaluation in gastric cancer recurrence. Methods 80 patients with gastric cancer recurrence after radical surgery were selected as the observation group, and 50 patients without gastric cancer recurrence 5 or more than 5 years after surgery were selected as the control group. The immunohistochemical situation and expression of VEGF of the two groups were compared, and the correlation of HIF-1αand VEGF and gastric cancer recurrence were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HIF-1αand VEGF were 77. 50% and 73. 75% respectively in the observation group, which were significantly higher than 12. 00% and 10. 00% in the control group. Univariate analysis showed that the related indices such as degree of differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, and TNM clinical stage were associated with VEGF expression and positive expression of HIF-1α. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that HIF-1α and VEGF was positively correlated (r=0. 458,P=0. 000). 1-year survival rate of HIF-1α-positive group was 45. 16%, and the average survival time was (8. 62 ± 2. 32) months, which was significantly lower than 77. 77% and (18. 96 ± 3. 14) months respectively in the negative group. Cox risk model analysis showed that HIF-1αand VEGF expression were high risk factors for gastric cancer recurrence. Conclusion HIF-1αand VEGF expression have a very colse correlation with gastric cancer recurrence, and it can be used as evaluation of gastric cancer recurrence and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of methods in echocardiographic measurements of right ventricular (RV) volume.Methods Forty-six healthy volunteers were examined by two dimensional echocardiography (2-DE),real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) within 24 hours.2 DE adopts three methods to measure RV volume,the first is Simpson,the second is the half ellipsoid method,and the last is biplane area-length method.In RT 3DE,RV volume were calculated respectively by tri-plane method and TomTec 4D RV-function CAP software.In cMRI,RV volume was calculated by Argus software.Right ventricular end diastolic and end-systolic volume (RVEDV,RVESV) were measured respectively.Then the echo measurement were compared to cMRI.Consistency of two methods was evaluated by Bland-Altman analysis.Results ①As compared to cMRI,Simpson,the half ellipsoid method and tri-plane method underestimated RV volume,with statistical significance(P ＜0.05).Biplane area-length method and TomTec 4D RV-Function CAP had no significant statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).② The result of correlation analysis was as follows:RV volumes from Simpson and tri-plane method had bad correlation with those from cMRI (r =0.3-0.4).RV volumes from TomTec,half ellipsoid method and biplane area length method correlated highly with those from cMRI(r =0.7-0.8).③The Bland-Altman analysis of echo methods with cMRI showed that each measurement by TomTec and biplane area-length method had a smaller limit of the agreement and a smaller difference average.Conclusions Tom-Tec 4D RV-Function CAP in RT-3DE and biplane area length method in 2-DE can measure RV volumes accurately.

Objective To detect the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA load in vesicle fluid and peripheral blood,as well as plasma levels of S100β protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in patients with herpes zoster before and after treatment,and to explore their correlations.Methods Vesicle fluid samples were collected before treatment,and peripheral blood samples before and after treatment from 50 inpatients with acute herpes zoster in the Department of Dermatology of the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University,and peripheral blood samplcs were also obtained from 20 heahhy controls.Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to determine the viral load in the vesicle fluid and peripheral blood samples,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the plasma levels of S100β protein and NSE.Results VZV DNA was present in all the vesicle fluid samples,as well as in peripheral blood samples from 18 patients before treatment and 5 patients after treatment,but not found in any of the healthy controls.Positive correlation was found bctween the viral load in vesicle fluid and plasma levels of S 100β protein and NSE (r =0.535,0.430,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05) in the patients with acute herpes zoster.Before treatment,patients with VZV DNA in peripheral blood showed significantly increased plasma levels of S100β protein and NSE compared with those without (both P ＜ 0.05),and the viral load in peripheral blood was positively correlated with plasma levels of S100β protein and NSE (r =0.711,0.645,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion VZV DNA is present in some patients with herpes zoster,and increased VZV DNA loads in the vesicle fluid and peripheral blood are related to elevated plasma levels of S100β protein and NSE before treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical curative effect and safety of nabumetone for rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS: The researches about the study on the curative effect and ADRs of nabumetone for rheumatoid arthritis were retrieved and carried out by Meta-analysis. RESULTS: 9 researches were up to the including criteria. As compared with the control group, nabumetone has better effect [RR=1.11,95% CI(1.02, 1.20), P=0.01] but fewer ADRs [RR=0.71,95% CI(0.41, 1.22), P=0.007] in clinical treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. CONCLUSION: The evidence currently available shows that nabumetone has better efficacy and safety. Because the RCTs available for this systematic review are too small, more and further high-quality large-scale RCTs with long-term follow up are required to provide more reliable evidence

The Golgi complex is the central organelle of the secretory pathway and has many complicate functions. The endeavours to isolate and purify the Golgi apparatus from cultured cells will benefit further investigation of Golgi. A large number of gastric cancer cells SGC7901 were cultivated in vitro, then Golgi apparatus were isolated from the cells by differential centrifugation combined with sucrose density gradient ultra-centrifugation. Its purity was characterized biochemically by enzymatic assays, morphologically by electron microscopy (EM) and neutral red supravital staining. Finally the Golgi complex was successfully fractionated from gastric cancer cells SGC7901. The first successful isolation of Golgi apparatus from gastric cancer cells SGC7901 by using ultra-centrifugation will lead to research into the function of Golgi apparatus.

This study seeks to explore the early signs of cognitive impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). According to polysomnography, twenty patients diagnosed with OSAHS and twenty normal controls underwent event-related potential (ERP) examination including mismatch negativity (MMN) and P300. Compared with normal controls, OSAHS patients showed significantly prolonged latency of MMN and P300 at Cz. After controlling age and body mass index (BMI), MMN latency positively correlated with apnea hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen reduction index, stage N1 sleep and arousal index, while MMN latency negatively correlated with stage N3 sleep and mean blood oxygen saturation; and P300 latency positively related to AHI and oxygen reduction index; no relationships were found among MMN latency, MMN amplitude, P300 latency and P300 amplitude. These results suggest that the brain function of automatic processing and controlled processing aere impaired in OSAHS patients, and these dysfunction are correlated with nocturnal repeatedly hypoxemia and sleep structure disturbance.

Objective To investigate the effect of bifidobacterial adhesin (BA) on nuclear factor of κB (NF-κB) and cytokines of intestinal mucosa of stressed rats.Methods Forty-eight rats were divided into stress group (n =24) and BA group (n =24) using the stochastic indicator method.After the stressed rat models were established withfettering as the stress condition,the experiment lasted 8 days.Both groups were given enteral nutrition (EN) with heat 125.4 kJ/(kg · d) and nitrogen 0.2 g/(kg · d).The BA group was fed with EN plus 5 mg/ (kg · d) bifidobacterial adhesin,and the stress group was fed with EN plus equivalent volume of normal saline [5 mg/ (kg · d)].The levels of NF-κB,interleukin-10 (IL-10),tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α),and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were measured in both groups before modeling,after modeling,on the 3rd intervention day,and on the 8th intervention day.The changes in the morphology of intestinal mucosal were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results (1) Expression of NF-κB:The positive expression rate of NF-κB in the intestinal mucosa was 0,79.2％,63.5％,and 66.7％ in the control group and 0,68.4％,55.7％,and 45.8％ in the BA group before modeling,after modeling,on the 3rd intervention day,and on the 8th intervention day.The expressions of NF-κB in both groups significantly increased after the modeling (both P =0.000).Even on the 3rd and 8th intervention days,the positive expression rates of NF-κB in the intestinal mucosa were still significantly higher than the pre-modeling level (both P =0.000).Compared with the levels after modeling and in the control group,the expression of NF-κB in the intestinal mucosa in the BA group on the 8th intervention day was significantly down-regulated (P =0.015,P =0.021).(2) Quantitative expressions of TNF-α and IFN-γ:Compared with the pre-modeling levels,the intestinal mncosa levels of TNF-α [stressed group:(154.63 ± 17.52) pg/g,(198.72 ±26.59) pg/g; BA group:(154.63 ±17.52) pg/g,(201.45 ±28.16) pg/g],IFN-γ [stressed group:(39.47 ±5.76) pg/g,(55.32 ±5.93) pg/g; BA group:(39.47 ± 5.76),(60.75 ± 7.68) pg/g] and the plasma levels of TNF-α [stressed group:(17.35±2.62) pg/g,(30.56±4.85) ng/L; BA group:(83.31 ±9.78) pg/g,(114.82±13.78) ng/L] and IFN-γ [stressed group:(17.35 ±2.62) pg/g,(28.73 ±4.17) ng/L; BA group:(17.35 ± 2.62) pg/g,(30.56 ± 4.85) ng/L] significantl increased (all P ＜ 0.05).On the 3rd and 8th intervention day,the intestinal mucosa levels of IFN-γ [(58.16 ± 7.38) pg/g,(56.37 ± 7.29) pg/g] and TNF-α [(215.76 ±31.54) pg/g and (211.83 ±33.61) pg/g] and plasma levels of IFN-γ [(29.35 ±4.76) ng/L,(30.25±3.67) ng/L] andTNF-α [(125.71 ±17.38) ng/L,(141.26±19.65) ng/L] in the stressed group were significantly higher than the pre-modeling levels (all P ＜ 0.05).On the 3rd and 8th intervention day,the intestinal mucosa levels of IFN-γ [(165.43 ± 24.58) pg/g,(171.57 ± 26.87) pg/g]and IFN-γ [(42.35 ±4.92) pg/g,(40.58 ±4.65) pg/g] and the plasma levels of TNF-α [(103.96 ±13.68) ng/L,(94.53±12.66) ng/L] and IFN-γ [(20.78±2.84) ng/L,(19.65±2.45) ng/L] in the BA group were significantly lower than the post-modeling levels (all P ＜ 0.05),whereas those of IL (intestinal mucosa:(62.82 ±8.34) pg/g,(75.16 ±9.65) pg/g; plasma:(43.32 ±5.28) ng/L,(55.64 ±6.87) ng/L] were significantly higher than the post-modeling levels (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the stressed group,the intestinal mucosa levels of TNF-α and IFN-γand plasma levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α significantly decreased while the IL-10 level significantly increased (all P ＜0.05) in the BA group.(3) Histomorphology showed that,compared that the ileal mucosal villi and crypt structure were recovered in the BA group on the 8th intervention day.Compared with the post-modeling conditions,the ileal mucosal villi and crypt structure were damaged in the stressed group,showing edema of the lamina propria,in which inflammatory cell infiltration was observed.Conclusions BA is helpful for the repair of the intestinal mucosa injury after stress by regulating the release of inflammatory mediators and cytokines of intestinal mucosa.

OBJECTIVE To study the antidepressant effects of ammoxetine(AMX)and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Two behavioral despair models,the tail suspension test (TST) and the forced swimming test(FST),were used to evaluate the antidepressant-like effects of AMX 2.5-20 mg · kg-1 following oral administration. Monoamine neurotransmitter p-chloro-phenylalanine(p-CPA)andα-methyl-p-tyrosine(AMPT) depletion models in mice were used to investigate the effects of AMX on levels of 5-serotomin(5-HT)and norepinephrine(NE)in the brain. RESULLTS The results of behavioral study showed that compared with normal control group,AMX(10 and 20 mg · kg-1)reduced the immobility time of mice by 51.4% and 80.7% in the TST(P<0.05,P<0.01) or by 48.0% and 66.2% in the FST (P<0.05),respectively. Locomotion activity test indicated that AMX did not increase or decrease the movement distance of mice,demonstrating that AMX had no excitatory or inhibitory actions on the central nervous system. Moreover,AMX(5,10 and 20 mg·kg-1)exerted antidepressant effects in the p-CPA induced 5-HT depletion model and AMPT induced NE depletion model,as evidenced by the significantly reduced immobility time,ie,63.9%,93.4%,90.5% and 61.9%,77.2%,100% reduction in the TST (P<0.01),respectively,and AMX at the dose of 20 mg·kg-1 significantly increased the concentrations of 5-HT and NE by 144.7% and 57.2% in the mouse brain(P<0.05) ,respectively. CONCLUSION AMX has strong antidepressant-like effects in behavioral despair models and monoamine neurotransmitter depletion models in mice,which is involved in the increased levels of 5-HT and NE in the brain.
