Objective To investigate the effects of soluble CD40 ligand combined with LY294002,a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,on proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells (AGS ) and its potential mechanisms. Methods The effect of gradient concentration of sCD40L and its combination with LY294002 on cellular proliferation was determined using MTT assay. The ability of cellular invasion and migration was evaluated by wound healing and Transwell invasion assay. The protein expression of PI3K, p-Akt and vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) was tested by Western blotting. Results The inhibitory effect of cellular proliferation in sCD40L, LY294002 and sCD40L + LY294002 groups was 70. 1%, 65. 7% and 41. 3%, respectively, with significant difference (P<0. 05). And wound healing was also delayed in cells treated with sCD40L plus LY294002 when compared with those treated with sCD40L or LY294002. These results indicated that the inhibitory effect of cellular proliferation, migration and invasion was enhanced when cells were treated with sCD40L plus LY294002. The protein expression of PI3K,p-Akt and VEGF increased in cells treated with sCD40L, but reduced drastically in cells treated with sCD40L plus LY294002. Conclusion Inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may enhance the inhibitory effect of proliferation, migration and invasion by sCD40L on AGS cells, which provide a new way for biochemical therapy of gastric cancer.

This paper presented the thinking of security problems of the pulse pressure transducer which was widely used in TCM field. And we suggest that the selection of the pulse sensor should be flexible, the pressure should be comply with the security value of the body's tolerance range, and pulse instrument operator should pay attention to the accuracy and safety, so that the pulse instrument will be more humane, scientific and security-oriented.

Objective To explore the distinguishing method and threshold of optimum pulse pressures on Cun pulse and Chi pulse to solve the problem how to exert pressure upon Three Regions Pulse Detecting Instrument.Methods Totally 55 subjects meeting the inclusion criteria were collected.The data of optimum pulse pressures on Cun Guan Chi of the same hand of the same tested person were collected respectively and the comparative analysis on the data was carried out.Results In normal subjects,the attenuation degree of optimum pulse pressures on Guan pulse compared with Cun pulse was 0.189?0.053,and the attenuation degree of optimum pulse pressures on Chi pulse in comparison with Guan pulse was 0.226?0.044.Conclusion Through calculating the attenuation degree of optimum pulse pressures reasonably,the identified threshold of Cun and Chi pulses can be judged from the threshold of Fu-superficial,Zhong-medium,and Chen-deep of Guan pulse.

ObjectiveTo search for a new method of anti-tumor immunity,using mutated tumor cells by spaceflight.MethodsTumor cells were carried in the Shenzhou 4 and the recoverable satellite No.18.After 7 days and 18 days spaceflight respectively,the effects of spaceflight were investigated primarily.Results2382 and 1 strains of mutated tumor cells from the airship No.4 and the recoverable satellite No.18 had been obtained respectively. Comparing with the control group, the growth rate of mutated cells decreased, moreover, the secretion of cytokines also changed.ConclusionSpaceflight may affect physiological characteristics of tumor cells, and that, there was a negative correlation between the ratio of surviving cells and carrying time.

Objective To investigate neurological function, volume of cerebral infarction, changes of lipid peroxidation, and the intervention effect of compound angelica injection (CAI) on rats with focal cerebral ischemia injury. Methods Models of rat with cerebral ischemia were reproduced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). All animals were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, CAI group, and edaravone group. 1 hour after the models were established, rats in the sham-operation group and model group received intraperitoneal injection with normal saline, while rats in CAI group and edaravone group received intraperitoneal injection with relevant medicine for continuing 7 days. Volume of cerebral infarction was detected by Tetrazole staining method, neurologic function were detected by neuroethology, and concentration of MDA in brain tissue was also detected. Results After 7-day cerebral ischemia, compared with the model group, volume of cerebral infarction in CAI group was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the concentration of MDA was a little lower. Conclusion CAI has significant protective effects which can significantly improve neurological function, reduce volume of cerebral infarction, and alleviate the effects of lipid peroxidation of rats with focal cerebral ischemia injury.

Objective:
To explore the influence of three-level collaboration network of pediatric burns in Anhui province on treatment effects of burn children.
Methods:
The data of medical records of pediatric burn children transferred from Lu′an People′s Hospital and Fuyang People′s Hospital to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2014 to December 2015 and January 2016 to September 2017 (before and after establishing three-level collaboration network of pediatric burns treatment) were analyzed: percentage of transferred burn children to hospitalized burn children in corresponding period, gender, age, burn degree, treatment method, treatment result, occurrence and treatment result of shock, and operative and non-operative treatment time and cost. Rehabilitation result of burn children transferred back to local hospitals in 2016 and 2017. Data were processed with
