To identify the best inducing condition, we studied the expression of membrane protein HSP70 and mRNA of H22 cell at various temperature. Using MTT,RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and FCM techniques, we observed H22 cell survival rate, the expression of HSP70 mRNA and membrane HSP70. No effects of H22 cell survival rate under 42 ~ 43℃ was observed, but cell survival rate declined with increasing stress time at 44 ~ 45 ℃; the level of HSP70 mRNA decreased initially (0.5~4.0) hours but gradually resumed and increased from 8 to 12 hours at 42℃. Membrane HSP70 expressing cells were significently higher in heat shock treatment group than in a control group ( P

Objective: To detect whether the metal base of the metal-fused-to-ceramic restoration have the same color performance and can be tested as natural teeth, and to evaluate whether they have effect on the color value determination by means of the photoelectrometer. Methods:Two kinds of shade guides of metal ceramic restoration were measured by photoelectric colorimeter, and color difference are analyzed compared with natural teeth of the same color. Results:The empfindung (color difference) of the shade guides with or without metal base and natural teeth is significantly different (P

Objective:To investigate the changes of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive (CGRP-IR)nerve fibers in rat dental pulps during acute inflammation. Methods: Rat acute pulpitis model was established by silk thread ligation and the change of CGRP-IR nerve fibers was observed with immunohistochemical method.Results: In radical pulp,the CGRP-IR nerve fibers became denser and more heavily stained;in the coronal pulp,the number of CGRP-IR nerve fibers decreased,but the background staining was heavier. Conclusion: During acute inflammation,the amount of CGRP increases in dental pulps, and is released into the surronding tissue in a large scale in the coronal region.

OBJECTIVE To explore the isolation,distributive characteristics and drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii producing AmpC enzyme in nosocomial infection.METHODS The distributive sections and infected parts of 42 A.baumannii strains in nosocomial infection were analyzed,and three dimensional test was used to(detect) AmpC enzyme.RESULTS Among them 18(42.86%) strains were AmpC positive.Among 40 strains of A.baumannii in non-nosocomial infection,6(15.00%) strains were AmpC positive.A.baumannii in nosocomial(infection) in clinical sections was mainly discovered in burn department,and the respiratory tract and skin soft tissue were the main infected sites(90%).The drug resistance in nosocomial infection was obviously higher than that of A.baumannii in non-nosocomial one.CONCLUSIONS The isolated rate and drug resistance rate of A.baumannii producing AmpC enzyme are rather high in nosocomial infection.It′s(neccessary) to take measures to prevent the nosocomial infection caused by A.baumannii.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B (IND) in childhood. MethodsForty-five patients underwent preoperative barium enema examination, 23 patients underwent electromanometry, and mucosal biopsy and immunohistochemical staining for S100 protein were performed in 17 cases. All 45 patients underwent resection of the invalid segment with coloproctostomy. Whole layer was sampled on several sites of the resected segment and examined by two independent pathologists. All patients were followed up from 3 months to 9 years (mean 4.6 years).ResultsTwenty eight patients were complicated with Hirschsprung′s disease, one patient with hypogangliosis, and isolated IND was diagnosed in the other 16 children. The narrowed distal segment with proximal dilatation was merely noted in 4 children with isolated IND. Internal sphincter relaxations were missing in 6 children with isolated IND. The indicative diagnosis might be merely gained in 7 patients by the mucosa biopsy. The correct diagnosis can be established by whole layer biopsy of the resected segment. Three children with enterocolitis after operation were cured by conservative treatment. One patient suffering from postoperative sluice syndrome underwent second resection. Postoperative continence was achived in all patients. ConclusionThe correct diagnosis of IND can be obtained by biopsy of whole layer, and resection of invalid bowel segment with coloproctostomy is the choice of therapy.

Objective To analyze the abnormal region of gray matter and its distribution characteristics in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI),and to investigate the structural brain changes which closely related to mild cognitive impairment.Methods 27 PD patients were examined by T1WI three-dimensional brain volume (3D-fast spoiled gradient echo,3D-FSPGR) sequence,and were divided into 2 groups:PD patients with mild cognitive impairment group (PD-MCI group,n=15) and PD patients without mild cognitive impairment (PD-nMCI group,n=12).Gray matter map in the two groups were analyzed by using voxel based morphometry (VBM) based on SPM5.Results There were significant differences in MMSE and MoCA scores between the two groups (P<0.01 or 0.05).Compared with PD-nMCI group,gray matter volumes in PD-MCI group were decreased in bilateral mid frontal gyrus,left precentral gyrus,right mid-temporal gyrus,left superior temporal gyrus,transverse temporal gyrus,bilateral lingual gyrus,right cuneus,bilateral insular and right posterior cingutate gyrus.Conclusions Gray matter atrophy in bilateral mid-frontal gyrus,insular and left precentral gyrus is closely related to the mild cognitive impairment in PD patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of Yanshu compound sophora flavescens injection (Yanshu injection) combined with paclitaxel and cisplatin (TP) regimen in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods One hundred and sixty-two patients with NSCLC admitted to the Department of Oncology of Danyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from May 2014 to June 2018 were enrolled, all of their definite diagnosis was based on pathological or cytological examinations, and they were divided into two groups by the administration type, 81 cases in each group. The western medicine treatment group (western group) was treated with TP regimen alone, 3 weeks constituting 1 therapeutic course, and 3 consecutive courses were treated; based on the treatment of western drug TP regimen, the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group (combined group) was additionally and simultaneously given Yanshu injection for consecutive 2 weeks. After treatment, the clinical efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions of the two groups were observed. Results The total effective rate in the combined group was significantly higher than that in western group [60.49% (49/81) vs. 40.74% (33/81), P <0.05]; the incidences of adverse events: alopecia, thrombocytopenia, neurotoxicity, leukopenia, nausea and vomiting, and gastrointestinal reaction in the combined group were obviously lower than those in western group [alopecia: 24.69% (20/81) vs. 60.49% (49/81), thrombocytopenia: 23.45% (19/81) vs. 40.74% (33/81), neurotoxicity: 14.81% (12/81) vs. 34.57% (28/81), leukopenia: 17.28% (14/81) vs. 62.96% (51/81), nausea and vomiting: 14.81% (12/81) vs. 60.49% (49/81), gastrointestinal reaction: 27.16% (22/81) vs. 62.96% (51/81), all P < 0.05]. Conclusion Yanshu injection combined with TP regimen is obviously effective in the treatment of advanced NSCLC, thus it is worthy to be applied clinically.
