Purpose:To explore the effects and mechanisms o f anti-invasion and anti-metastasis of ginsenoside Rg3 on human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Methods:To select human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC -7721 and the human allantoic veins endothelial cell line ECV304 as the study objects. We observed the effet of ginsenoside Rg3’s effect on the growth of SM MC-7721 and ECV304 by MTT methods,the adhesion of SMMC-7721 and Fibronectin by cell adhesion experiment, the expression of gene protein of nm23,CD44 and VEGF by immunohisto-chemical method. Results:Ginsenoside Rg3 could inhibit not only the growth of SM MC-7721 and ECV304 significantly, but also the adhesion of SMMC-7721 and FN. I t might also down-regulate the expression of CD44, VEGF and up-regulate the nm 23 gene expression. Conclusions:Ginsenoside Rg3 can inhibit invasion and metastasis of the hepatic carcinoma cell. The mechanisms are probably that Ginsenoside Rg3 can inhibit the hepatic carcinoma cells’ invasion activity,regulate the expres sion of the gene proteins which are closely related with invasion and metastasis ,inhibit neovasularization.

Objective To explore the mechanism of the protection of acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) for hippocampal astrocytes from injury induced by gentamicin. Methods Hippocampal astrocytes were isolated from newborn (24 hours) Sprague-Dawley rats, puri-fied, and identified with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunofluorescence. The third generations were cultured for 3 days and divid-ed into 3 groups:control group was cultured routinely, injury group was cultured with 2.0 g/L gentamicin for 24 hours, and protection group was cultured with 4.25μg/L aFGF for 24 hours and then cultured with 2.0 g/L gentamicin for 24 hours. Western blotting was adopted to de-tect the expressions of P38, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)1/2. Results Hippocampal as-trocytes were culturated successfully with the purity above 95%. The ERK1 increased in the injury group compared with the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the injury group, the p38 increased (P<0.05) and the ERK1 decreased (P<0.05) in the protection group. There was no significant difference among others (P>0.05). Conclusion The mitogen-activated protein kinase signal pathway, especially P38 and ERK1, may associate with the protection of aFGF for hippocampal astrocytes from injury induced by gentamicin.

Objective To investigate the factors that affecting the efficacy of arthroscopic debridement in the treatment of knee osteoar-thritis. Methods The clinical data of patients with knee osteoarthritis treated with arthroscopic debridement in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2013 was retrospectively analyzed,and the treatment effect was evaluated by Lysholm score. The factors that may affect the efficacy were selected to make a single factor analysis,and then made a multiple logistic regression analysis with the factors which were of sta-tistical significance through single factor analysis. Results Single factor analysis showed that age,course of disease,body mass index,psycho-logical factor,preoperative VAS score,preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grade,preoperative Lysholm score and postoperative rehabilitation exer-cise were the factors that affected the efficacy of knee arthroscopy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Further multivariate analysis showed that high body mass index,high preoperative VAS pain score,low Ly-sholm score,high psychological expectations and high preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grading were expected to be the independent risk fac-tors of knee arthroscopy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Strict compliance with the postoperative rehabilitation exercise was the protect factor. Conclusion High body mass index,high preoperative VAS pain score,low preoperative Lysholm score,high preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grading,and high psychological expectations were expected to reduce the effect of surgery,while strict compliance with the postoper-ative rehabilitation exercise can improve the curative effect.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of metabolic syndrome (MS) on the occurrence and development of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).Methods 101 elderly BPH patients were divided into two groups:BPH (n = 45) and BPH with MS (n= 56)group.The effects of metabolic indexes,including body mass index (BMI),waist,high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),fasting blood glucose (FBS) and insuline resistance index (H()MA-IR),on prostate volume(PV),prostate-specific antigen (PSA),international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were surveyed in BPH patients.Results BPH with MS group showed significantly higher values of PV (t = 3.22,P= 0.003)and longer course of LUTS (t= 2.02,P =0.046) than BPH group.The BPH patients with overweight and obesity had significantly higher levels of PV(49.44±26.83 ml and 51.7±22.2 ml,P=0.021 and 0.043) than BPH patients with normal weight (38.10 ± 10.64 ml).Additionally,BPH patients with abdominal obesity had significantly higher levels of PV than BPH patients without abdominal obesity(50.26±26.51 ml vs.38.99± 11.25ml,P=0.005).BPH patients with low HDL-C had significantly higher PV than BPH patients with normal HDL-C[(54.23±28.92)ml vs.(40.40± 14.87) ml,P=0.009].The values of PV,PSA in the BPH patients with elevated FBS were significantly higher than in BPH patients with normal FBS (t=3.17 and 2.4I,P= 0.035 and 0.013).BPH patients with insuline resistance (IR) had higher values of PV and longer courses of LUTS than BPH patients without IR (t= 3.43 and 3.58,P-0.001).The PV was positively correlated with BMI(r= 0.459.P= O.OOO),FINS (r= 0.42,P=O.OOI),HOMA-IR (r= 0.49,P= 0.003) and gatively correlated with HDL-C (r= 0.38,P-0.000)- Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that PV was closely correlated with HOMA-IR.ConclusionsMS has evident effects on the occurrence and development of BPH.

Objective To investigate the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI)in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery,analyze the risk factors,and provide basis for the prevention and control of SSI.Methods All hospitalized orthopedic patients undergoing surgery in a hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 were retrospectively sur-veyed,questionnaires were designed,patients’medical records were reviewed,incidence of SSI was analyzed,risk factors for SSI were analyzed with univariate and logistic regression methods.Results A total of 14 300 orthopedic patients undergoing surgery were investigated,576 (4.03%)patients had SSI,predominantly were superficial inci-sion infection (n=429,74.48%),615 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 576 patients,mainly were Staphylococcus aureus (n=137,22.28%),Escherichia coli (n=84,13.66%),and Enterobacter cloacae (n=73, 11 .87%).The incidence of SSI decreased year by year in patients undergoing orthopedics surgery(χ2 =24.706,P <0.001);the incidence of SSI in patients with amputation was the highest (22.67%),followed by patients with de-bridement (7.16%);multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that long duration of operation,long length of hospital stay,underlying diseases,use of implants,contaminated incision,more intraoperative blood loss,irra-tional perioperative use of antimicrobial agents,and without using negative pressure drainage were independent risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.Conclusion The incidence of SSI is high in orthopedic pa-tients undergoing surgery,effective preventive measures should be actively taken according to the related risk factors of SSI,so as to reduce the occurrence of SSI.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of polyetheretherketone( PEEK) cages and titanium cages combined with pedicle screw fixation operation in treatment of lumbar degenerative disease,and provide reference for clinic. Methods The data of 50 patients with lumbar degenerative disease in our hospital from March 2011 to March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with pos-terior decompression,bone graft and transpedicular screw internal fixation,according to the different cages,they were divided into PEEK group and titanium group. The PEEK group with 25 patients used polyetheretherketone cages,and the titanium group with 25 patients used titanium cages. The JOA scores of patient before surgery,1 month,6 months and 1 year after surgery between two groups were recorded and compared. The ROM of fusion levels and adjacent segment of patients before and after operation between two groups were compared. Results There was no statistical significance of difference in JOA score,Oswestry score and fusion rate between two groups(P>0. 05). There were statistical significance of differences intervertebral disc height change between 2 groups(P<0. 05). The ROM of fusion levels and adjacent segment of patients in PEEK group was better than those in titanium group(P<0. 05). Conclusion The polyetheretherketone cages combined with pedicle screw fixation operation have a good effect in the treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative disease,especially in matter of lumbar spinal motion and intervertebral height lost.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of posterior laminectomy and lateral bone fusion on multi-segments thoracic disk herniation. Methods 18 patients with multi-segments thoracic disk herniation accepted the posterior laminectomy and lateral bone fusion. They were followed up with JOA score and Frankel system. Results The mean of operative time was 190.6 min with a mean of blood loss of 806.3 ml. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage happened in 3 patients, and recovered after treatment. Wound infection occurred in 1 case and recovered after applied sensitive antibiotics. The Cobb's angle decreased after surgery (P<0.05). Compared with the preoperative, the JOA score improved 3 months later and at the last follow-up (P<0.05). During the follow-up, there was no fixation loosen, displacement and spinal instability happened. Conclusion Patients with multi-segments thoracic disk herniation may benefit full spinal decompression and a stable spinal sagittal alignment from posterior laminectomy and lateral bone fusion.

Currently the main treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is chemotherapy combining hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, the unbearable side effect of chemotherapy and the high risk of life-threatening infections and disease relapse following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation restrict its application in clinical practice. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop alternative therapeutic tactics with significant efficacy and attenuated adverse effects. Here, we revealed that umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) efficiently induced AML cell differentiation by shuttling the neutrophil elastase (NE)-packaged extracellular vesicles (EVs) into AML cells. Interestingly, the generation and release of NE-packaged EVs could be dramatically increased by vitamin D receptor (VDR) activation in UC-MSC. Chemical activation of VDR by using its agonist 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 efficiently enhanced the pro-differentiation capacity of UC-MSC and then alleviated malignant burden in AML mouse model. Based on these discoveries, to evade the risk of hypercalcemia, we synthetized and identified sw-22, a novel non-steroidal VDR agonist, which exerted a synergistic pro-differentiation function with UC-MSC on mitigating the progress of AML. Collectively, our findings provided a non-gene editing MSC-based therapeutic regimen to overcome the differentiation blockade in AML.

BACKGROUNDOveractive bladder (OAB) is a series of symptoms with high prevalence in elderly people. This study was conducted using the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) to evaluate the efficacy of solifenacin succinate for the treatment of OAB.

METHODSThis was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, 12-week study that enrolled 241 OAB patients. The patients received 5-10 mg/day solifenacin. Changes in OABSS, symptoms from voiding diary, perception of bladder condition (PPBC) score, international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) were evaluated at weeks 0, 4, and 12. The relationship between OABSS and PPBC score or parameters of voiding diary was also evaluated.

RESULTSAt baseline, the mean OABSS for all patients was 9.41 ± 2.40, and was reduced significantly at week 12 (-3.76 points; 61.21%, P < 0.0001). The OABSS subscore, PPBC score, IPSS, and QOL were also significantly reduced during the study (P < 0.0001). The overall incidence of adverse events was 19.91% (44 cases). The gastrointestinal system was the most commonly affected (11.31%). Around 5.88% of the cases had adverse events related to the genitourinary system. There was a strong correlation between OABSS and urinary symptoms that was recorded in the 3-day voiding dairy.

CONCLUSIONSWe showed that solifenacin was clinically effective for relieving OAB symptoms, considering the balance between efficacy, patients' well-being, and tolerability. OABSS integrates four OAB symptoms into a single score and can be a useful tool for research and clinical practice.
