ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Curcumin on TGF-β1 and HGF in pulmonary fibrosis and the effect of different concentrations of Curcumin on the expression of HGF and TGF-β1 in pulmonary fibrosis.Methods90 health male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups as follows:the control group ( group A),model group ( group B),prednisolone-treated group ( group C),and groups of low ( D group),middle( group E) and high( group F) dose curcumin (50,100,and 200 mg/kg,respectively).Animal model of pulmonary fibrosis was produced in SD rats by the endotracheal bleomycin,samples were obtained on days 7,14,and 28.The expression of HGF and TGF-β1 were measured by RT-PCR and Westem blot.ResultsThe light density values (0.693 ±0.028) and gray value (0.96 ±0.10)of TGF-β1 on day 28 of group A was the lowest,while the light density values ( 1.586 ±0.020) and gray value ( 1.77 ±0.15 ) of group B was the highest,the light density values (0.881 ± 0.032) and gray value ( 1.19 ±+ 0.12 )of group F was lower than group B.But the light density value and gray value of HGF showed reverse,the light density values and gray value of HGF on day 28 of group F was the highest,there was no statistical difference between group B and group D ( P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionsThe protective effect of Cucumin against pulmonary fibrosis may be through stimulating the activity of HGF and inhibiting the activity of TGFβ1 in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of entecavir treatment up to 96 weeks for patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods The study recruited 62 CHB patients who were admitted to or hospitalized at the Taixing People′s Hospital from July 201 1 to July 2014. The patients were treated with entecavir (0.5 mg/d)for 96 weeks of antiviral therapy.All the patients were divided into HBeAg-positive (n=43)and HBeAg-negative groups (n=19).The HBV DNA load was higher than 106 copies/ml in 38 patients and lower than 106 cop-ies/ml in 24 patients.The efficacy of entecavir in the two groups was compared at 24,48,and 96 weeks of treatment.Between-group com-parison of categorical data was performed byχ2 test.Results At 24,48,and 96 weeks of treatment,the HBeAg-positive group had a sig-nificantly lower HBV DNA clearance rate than the HBeAg -negative group (34.88% vs 78.95%,P=0.003;65.12% vs 89.47%, P=0.047;74.42% vs 100%,P=0.038);there was no significant difference in alanine aminotransferase (ALT)normalization rate be-tween the two groups (P=0.102,0.779,and 0.638).Patients with a HBV DNA load of >106 copies/ml had a significantly lower HBV DNA clearance rate than those with a HBV DNA load of <106 copies/ml at 24,48,and 96 weeks of treatment (34.21% vs 70.83%, P=0.005;57.89% vs 95.83%,P=0.001;76.32%vs 95.83%,P=0.002);there was no significant difference in ALT normalization rate between the two groups (P=0.940,0.150,and 0.280).Conclusion Entecavir has a high antiviral activity in the treatment of CHB, which can suppress HBV replication and concurrently improve liver function.

Objective To investigate whether p53 expression is involved in human telomerase reverse trans-criptase (hTERT) regulation. Methods HepG2 cells and pPUR/U6/hTERT HepG2 cells were treated with the p53 antisense oligonucleotide respectively and p53 expression plasmid were introduced to HepG2 cells. The decreased or increased p53 level and the hTERT expression levels were analyzed by Western blotting. Results Down-regulation of p53 expression had no obvious effect on hTERT expression, but over-expression of p53 could significantly repress hTERT level. Conclusion p53 interacts with hTERT and inhibits hTERT expression in HepG2 cells.

Extremely severe pancytopenia induced by low dosage of azathioprine in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is rare. A 40-year-old Chinese female was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. She suffered worse erythema, oral ulceration, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate and high anti-dsDNA in August 2013. Then she was initiated on oral azathioprine 50mg/d and extremely severe pancytopenia was seen in September 2013. She was recovered by a series of treatments. Regular monitoring of blood counts is highly recommended to reduce the possible serious myelosuppression induced by azathioprine.

Objective To study the influence of clinical nursing pathway on operative effects for patients with malignant tumout of bone. Methods 60 adult patients with malignant turnout bone were divided into the clini-cal nursing pathway gronp(32 cases) and control group(32 cases) randomly, routine nursing cares were used in con-trol group, while the clinical nursing pathway was used in the observation group. Compared the index between the two groups. Results All the indexes which had been compared between the two group were better in the clinical nursing pathway group than those in control group, the difference was significant (P < 0.05). Condusion The clinical nursing pathway can effectivly improve the compliance of patients for operation, avoid postoperative complications, and then imprpve their quality of life.

Objective To observe the healing effect of pertinent health education on patients with diabetic foot. Methods 116 cases of diabetic foot patients were randomly divided into group A (60 cases) and group B (56 cases). Group A accepted pertinent and one-to-one psychological nursing and group B received collective lecture of health education once a week. FPG, HbAlc changes and healing of wound was observed in the two groups. Results The clinical effect of group A was better than those of group B. Conclusions The pertinent health education can improve cognition and medical compliance of patients, promote healing of wounds, which proves to be superior than that of collective health education.
