1.Progress of the protective mechanism of vitamin D on chronic kidney disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(4):276-279
1,25(OH) 2 vitamin D 3 is the most effective status of vitamin D in the body.It will play a biological active role when it combines with the receptor of vitamin D. It is common in the chronic kidney disease patients who are lack of vitamin D. The research finds that among the chronic kidney disease patients, in addition to the classic role of vitamin D in regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism, it can also protect the kidney and delay the progress of chronic kidney disease by blocking the renin-angiotensin system, inhibiting inflammation, reducing podocyte damage and delaying renal fibrosis, etc.This article summarizes the protection mechanism of Vitamin D in the chronic kidney diseases.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2019;50(20):4969-4973
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of nitidine chloride (NC) on human esophageal carcinoma cell line Eca109 and the molecular mechanism of its induction. Methods: CCK-8 method was used to detect the inhibition rate of human esophageal cancer Eca109 cells with different concentrations of NC and different intervention time. According to the result of CCK-8 method, the experiment was divided into four groups, and the concentrations of NC in each group were 0, 5, 10, and 15 μmol/L, respectively, and the drug action time was 48 h. The apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The mRNA expressions of Caspase-3, Caspase-9, and Noxa were detected by qRT-PCR. The expressions of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bcl-2, p53, and Noxa protein levels were detected by Western blotting. Results: NC had inhibitory effect on Eca109 cells in a certain range of time and dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry showed that NC at 5 μmol/L mainly induced early apoptosis (P < 0.01); NCs at 10 and 15 μmol/L mainly induced late apoptosis (P < 0.01). qRT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Noxa was increased with the increase of NC concentration, of which 10 and 15 μmol/L group increased significantly. The results of Western blotting showed that the protein levels of cleaved Caspase-3, p53, and Noxa were both increased with the increase of NC concentration (P < 0.01), but the increase of Noxa was not significant in 5 μmol/L group (P < 0.01). The expression of Bcl-2 protein was decreased with the increase of NC concentration, and which was significantly higher in 10 and 15 μmol/L groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The inhibitory effect of NC on human esophageal carcinoma Eca109 cells is mainly through apoptosis. The apoptosis of NC induced of Eca109 cells is associated with increased expression of p53 and Noxa, downregulation of Bcl-2, and activation of Caspase-3.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the suitable surgical approach and the internal fixation of unstable pelvic pelvic fractures.
METHODSFrom May 2010 to May 2015, 45 patients with unstable pelvic fractures were treated with different approaches and fixations, including 38 males and 7 females with an average age of 45 years ranging from 21 to 61 years. The course was within 2 weeks. According to Young-Burg classification, 23 patients were lateral compression injuries, 6 patients were vertical shearing injuries, 16 patients were anterior-posterior compression injuries. All patients had hip pain and limitation of motion, the X-rays showed the pelvic ring fracture.
RESULTSAll wounds healed well without complications, 45 cases were followed up for a mean period of 13 months (ranged 9 to 21 months). Patients with hip pain had a good postoperative pain relief. The post-operative X-rays showed the reduction was satisfied and the pelvic ring shaped well. According to Majeed standards, the final follow-up score was 93.5±11.6, 35 cases got excellent results, 8 were good, 2 were fare.
CONCLUSIONSThe unstable pelvic and acetabular fractures are always with compound injury. Beside the reduction, to decrease the second surgery trauma should take into consideration as well, the intra-articular reduction and the stability of the pelvic were especially valued, so combined the different approach with minimal invasive technique can get good clinical result.

Object To demonstrate the naked truth of four therapeutic features of TCM (cold, hot, warm and cool) from biophysical and biochemical point of view. Methods Growth thermogenesis curves of Escherichia coli were determined under different conditions by microcalorimetry to give biothermodynamic parameters, such as multiplication constant (k), median inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ), and enthalpy (?H). Differences between folia ginseng and flos ginseng were comprehensively compared with reference to classical Chinese literatures on material medica. Results The bacteriostatic curve of both drugs were basically similar. With increasing concentration of decoctions of both drugs, the lag phase was delayed and the peaks shifted to the right. While the difference of ?H was stable, which decreases with the increasing concentration of Folium ginseng, but increases with increasing concentration of Flos ginseng. Conclusion Microcalorimetry is not only a new effective method to describe the therapeutic features of TCM, but also could be used as a tool for the screening of active TCM.

To explore the optimized dispatch of the rescue resources based on the mastered resources informa-tion. The objective function was set as the shortest rescue time, and 0-1 programming models were established and solved for the conditions that the number of medical rescue units was more or less than needed by the missions. In the two conditions, the model's calculated results were both optimal, and could be used to obtain the optimal dispatch solutions while the medical rescue time was the shortest. The 0-1 programming model can be effectively used to optimize dispatch strategy for medical rescue team.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the therapeutic effects of three different intervertebral fusion with bone graft and internal fixation in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
METHODSIn the retrospective study, 83 patients (38 males and 45 females, with an average age of 69 years) with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were divided into three groups. The patients in three groups were treated by autogenous iliac bone grafting (Robingson grafting) with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation, Pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation and BAK fixation respectively. JOA scores and the bony fusion time were recorded and the results were evaluated by numeric computer system.
RESULTSThe JOA scores of all the patients were higher than those before surgery (t = 1.55, P < 0.05). There were no statistical difference of JOA scores in the three groups (F = 2.51, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIt is concluded that internal fixation of the three types is promising to the treatment of cervical spondlotic myelopathy. Robingson grafting with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation provides good stability and bony fusion. BAK is better technically required but there was height loss in clinic. Pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation combines the merits of both two techniques above but the cost is higher.
