1.Influence of combined administration of lactobacilli and clostridium butyricum on acute mice ulcerative colitis
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;30(1):33-35
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of combined administration of lactobacilli and clostridium butyricum on acute mice ulcerative colitis, and explore its therapeutic mechanism.Methods Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mice model of acute ulcerative colitis was established. After administration of lactobacilli and clostridium butyricum, the pathological change of tunica mucosa coli was observed and the expression levels of tumor necorisis factor (TNF-α) and tissue factor (TF) were measured.Results Lactobacilli and clostridium butyricum significantly alleviated the damage of tunica mucosa coli and suppressed the expression of TNF-αand TF. By comparison, there were the lightest histological damage and the lowest expression of TNF-αand TF when lactobacilli and clostridium butyricum were administrated combined.Conclusion Both lactobacilli and clostridium butyricum show therapeutic effect on DSS-induced mice ulcerative colitis. The coordinate repression on expression of TNF-αand TF may be the molecular mechanism of the co-effect on mice UC.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of proximal femur locking compression plate for treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in old patients. Methods Clinical data and visit records of 98 cases of intertrochanteric fracture old patients were analysed retro-spectively. According to the treatment of operative methods, these patients were divided into two groups: 46 patients in the control group were given the dynamic hip screw fixation; the other 52 cases in the observation group were given the proximal femur locking compression plate . Compared the therapeutic effect and safety of the two groups. Results The short-term and long-term therapeutic effect of observation group were significantly better than the control group,and the safety of observation group was higher than that of the control group,the differ-ences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion Proximal femur locking compression plates is an effective surgical treatment for old patients with intertrochanteric fracture. It can significantly improve the function of hip joint and reduce the risk of postoperative complica-tions. As it is of significant effect and high safety, it is worthy of clinical popularization.

Objective To investigate the effects of Jiawei Danshen Decoction on endothelial cell ultrastructure, serum NO and ET in apolipoprotein E-knockout atherosclerosis (AS) mice;To discuss its mechanism of anti-atherosclerosis.Methods Totally 24 7-8 weeks old ApoE -/- mice were fed with a high fat diet for 12 weeks until the a mature atherosclerotic plaque was formed. They were randomly divided into four groups:model group, control group,Jiawei Danshen Decoction of low-dose group and high-dose group, 6 mice in each group. Another 6 normal C57BL/6J mice with the same strain were set as the blank group, and fed with general diet. After medicine intervention by gavage for 8 weeks, blood was extracted from orbital venous to measure serum NO and ET;aortic endothelial cell ultrastructure changes were observed by transmission electron microscope.Results Compared with the blank group, the level of NO obviously decreased and ET significantly increased in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with model group, medicine intervention increased NO and reduce ET level (P<0.05). Electron microscopy results showed that the model group showed fatty streaks stage performance;endothelial damage in each administration group was improved compared with model group.Conclusion Jiawei Danshen Decoction can improve the endothelial cell ultrastructure and functions and protect endothelial cells, with a purpose to delay the AS process.
