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.

Hand, foot and mouth disease(HFMD)refers to infectious diseases caused by enteroviruses, of which coxsackievirus A16(CA16)and enterovirus 71(EV71)are the most common.In recent years, studies have found that the enterovirus pathogen spectrum of HFMD has changed.The new lineage of coxsackievirus A6(CoxA6)has gradually become a dominant strain, and it has spread in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.The outbreak of CoxA6 related HFMD poses new challenges to the prevention and control of HFMD.Therefore, this article reviews the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, preventive measures and vaccine research of CoxA6, and analyzes the genotypes and subtypes of HFMD-related CoxA6 strains, in order to provide new clues for the prevention and control of HFMD.

Objective:To compare clinical characteristics of acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).Methods:41 patients with CSC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were studied, according to the course, they were divided into acute central serous chorioretinopathy group (A group, 29 eyes of 29 cases) and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy group (B group, 12 eyes of 12 cases). All patients underwent the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), subretinal fluid thickness (SRF) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) examination. The imaging characteristics of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) were compared between the two groups.Results:The BCVA, SRF and SFCT in A group were higher than those in B group ( P<0.05). FFA in group A showed that the leakage of ink diffusion or smoke type fluorescein leakage. FFA in group B showed that the fluorescein leakage was single or multiple in macular area, and atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells was observed. OCTA of group A showed that the choroidal capillary layer showed high blood flow signal, low blood flow signal around the outside, or coarse granular high signal, and no choroidal neovascularization (CNV) was found. OCTA in group B showed that the image of choroidal capillary layer was similar to that of group A, but in group B, 2 eyes (2/12) had CNV with obvious morphology. Conclusions:Clinical characteristics of acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy are different. OCTA has definite application value in follow-up and detection of CNV.

Clinical risk index for babies( CRIB) is applied in low birth weight preterm neonates to assess the initial severity of illness,predict mortality risk rates,evaluate their own performance,and audit the performance between different medical institutions.CRIB plays an important role in the progressive develop-ment of neonatology.The scoring rules and advantagse of CRIB scorni g system were introud ced in this arti-cle.Teh scoring system is able to correctly predict mortaliyt probabilities and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes for low birth weight preterm infants.

Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) refers to a series of clinical symptoms and biochemical and imaging abnormalities caused by minerals and calcium phosphorus metabolic disorder,which is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD).Since 2006 ,the concept of CKD-MBD was put forward for the first time,doctors are increasingly paying more attention to it.This review introduces the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestation, examination methods, diagnostic criteria and the research progress of treatment and prevention of CKD-MBD.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of de-pression after stroke.Methods Patients with depression in 134 cases of cerebral stroke from July 2011 to August 2012 in Tongli-ang People′s hospital were treated in department of internal medicine,and according to the different treatment methods were divided into experimental group and control group,each group of 67 cases.The control group was given paroxetine hydrochloride orally,the experimental group was based on the use of miananning granule in the treatment,obered curative effect of two groups.Results In the experimental group,the control group total effective rate were 95.5%,77.6%.The experimental group total effective rate was significantly better than the control group and has a statistically significance(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of depression after stroke is exact,it is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective The clinical effects of acupuncture and massaging abdomen with salt the treatment of simple obesity was observed. Methods: Eighty cases were randomized into two groups: treatment group in which 40 cases were treated by acupuncture and massaging abdomen with salt and control group in which another 40 cases were treated by conventional acupuncture. Their effects were observed and compared. Results: The clinical cure rate and marked effective rate in treatment group were significantly higher than in control group (P＜0.01). Conclusion: The clinical effects in the treatment group are much better than those in the control group.

Objective To investigate and analyze the diagnostic significance of humoral and cellular immune function detection in the patients with syphilis.Methods Eighty-six cases of syphilis without anti-syphilis treatment in our hospital were selected as the research subjects(syphilis),including 26 cases of primary syphilis,39 cases of secondary syphilis 21 cases of latent syphilis,and 30 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.Then the humoral immunity and cellular immunity levels were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of IgG,IgA and IgM in the syphilis group were significantly increased compared with the control group(P<0.05).The IgG,IgA and IgM levels had no statistical difference between the primary syphilis patients and control group(P>0.05),which in the patients with secondary syphilis and latent syphilis were significantly increased compared with the control group,moreover the increase in the secondary syphilis was most significant(P<0.05);the CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and NK levels in different stages of syphilis were significantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05),while the CD8+ level was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),in which the change in the secondary syphilis patients was most significant.Conclusion The humoral immune in the patients with syphilis is hyperfunction,while cellular immune is dysfunction,the patients present the overall immune function disorder,therefore the humoral and cellular immunity detection has a certain clinical value in the diagnosis of syphilis.
