Objective To study the effects and mechanisms of major immune nutrients and to introduce the progresses of clinical applications about enteral immunonutrition.Methods The related literatures about the effects and clinical applications of enteral immunonutrition were reviewed.Results Infection rate can be reduced and the hospitalization can be shortened as a result of the improved nutritional status and immune competence of patients which can be enhanced by reasonable enteral immune nutrition.Most of the patients suffering from serious diseases can benefit from enteral immunonutrition,such as gastrointestinal cancers,post-transplantation complications,chronic liver disorders,acute pancreatitis and so on.However,as a new nutrition therapy,the clinical use of enteral immunonutrition in critically ill patients is still controversial.Conclusions Enteral immunonutrition plays an important role in the nutritional support of patients with serious diseases,such as gastrointestinal cancers,organ failures.However,much work remains to be done.

Osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an important link of bone metabolism and bone repair, the mechanism of which is usually complicated. Recent studies have found that BMP, FGF, Wnt, Hedgehog, NELL1, IGF, Notch and othersignaling molecules are involved in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. These signaling molecules themselves have been shown to have a strong ability to promote osteogenic differentiation. They can activate the corresponding receptors by specific ligands, thus initiating the specific signal transduction pathways in the cell, and finally promote the transcription and translation of the genes related to bone formation. Furthermore, all the signaling pathways form a complex network which regulates and influences the osteogenic differentiation ofMSCs. Further researches on the mechanism of the interaction of these signaling pathways is of great significance in promoting the development of bone tissue engineering and the treatment of bone metabolic diseases.

Object:To investigate the expression of cell cyclin G2 (CCNG2) in glioblastoma tissues and to explore the correla-tion of CCNG2 expression with clinicopathological parameters and clinical significance. Methods:Surgical specimens of glioblastoma were collected from a total of 129 cases. The expression of CCNG2 in 109 specimens with complete clinical data was examined via QRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results:The expression of CCNG2 was significantly decreased in higher stages of glioblastoma compared with those in lower stages. Therefore, CCNG2 is inversely correlated with the stage of the disease. The expression of CCNG2 was associated with tumor stage, sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as survival times (P<0.05). CCGN2 was not cor-related with gender and age (P>0.05). Conclusion: CCNG2 expression may be associated with the development, treatment efficacy, and prognosis of glioblastoma. In addition, CCGN2 can be used to evaluate the malignant behavior of glioblastoma.

Objective To investigate the probabilities of brain-derived stem cells from fetal rats differentiating into neurons and astrocytes by velvet antler polypeptide(VAP) in vitro. Methods Neural stem cells from E12-14d rats were cultured for 7 days until neural stem cells (NSCs) aggregations were formed into neurospheres. The neurospheres were cultured at different concentrations of VAP, and immunocytochemistry was used to detect the differentiation of neural stem cells. Results The differentiated cells in 50?g/L VAP group are more than that in control group; the number of NSE positive cells in 50?g/L,100?g/L and 200?g/L groups is more than that in control group.Conclusion Neural stem cells can be successfully induced into neurons by VAP in vitro, which could provide a basis for regeneration of nerve system.;

Objective PB840 ventilator to explore non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the ICU of the application,efficacy and safety.Methods Application PB840 Ventilator-Non-invasive mechanical ventilation in the treatment of the seven cases of different causes of respiratory failure patients,non-invasive ventilation in the treatment of 4 h,the blood gas (PaO2,PaCO2 and pH value) analysis and analysis of clinical symptoms to improve the situation.Results Patient before and after treatment of PaO2,PaCO2 and pH compared to the value there is significant difference.Target to improve the blood after treatment significantly (P<0.05),reduce or alleviate the symptoms of sick;cyanosis improved.However,leakage is still a major disadvantage,some patients can not tolerate when there is need to immediately replace invasive mechanical ventilation.Conclusion PB840 ventilator mode non-invasive ventilation can improve the patient′s respiratory failure and clinical symptoms of blood-gas target,but most critically ill patients should be carefully applied.

Objective To evaluate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride pretreatment on pulmonary function during mechanical ventilation in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing non-thoracotomy.Methods Sixty patients with COPD,aged 58-82 yr,weighing 45-76 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective non-thoracotomy under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups (n =20 each) using a random number table.Anesthesia was induced with iv midazolam,sufentanil,cisatracurium and propofol.The patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.At 30 min before endotracheal intubation,normal saline 5 ml (group Ⅰ),penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.01 mg/kg (group Ⅱ) or penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.02 mg/kg (group Ⅲ) was injected intravenously.At 30,60 and 120 min of ventilation,airway peak pressure (Ppeak),airway plateau pressure (Pplat),airway resistance (Raw) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were recorded.At 120 min of ventilation,arterial blood samples were obtained for blood gas analysis and oxygenation index (OI),respiratory index (RI),physiologic dead space fraction (VD/VT) and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (A-aDO2) were calculated.At 30 min before ventilation and 120 min of ventilation,blood samples were drawn from the radial artery for determination of the serum concentrations of TNF-α,IL-8 and IL-10 by ELISA.The extubation time and pulmonary complications within 72 h after operation were recorded.Results Compared with group Ⅰ,Ppeak,Pplat,Raw,RI,VD/VT and A-aDO2 were significantly decreased,Cdyn and OI were increased,the serum TNF-α,IL-8 and IL-10 concentrations and incidence of pulmonary complications were decreased,and no significant change was found in the extubation time in Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups.There were no significant differences in the parameters mentioned above between group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ.Conclusion Penehyclidine hydrochloride pretreatment can reduce the inflammatory responses during mechanical ventilation,improve pulmonary function,and decrease postoperative pulmonary complications and is helpful for prognosis in the patients with COPD undergoing non-thoracotomy.

Objective To seek a method to correct the bent cartilaginous vault.Methods This study included 18 patients (12 women,6 men,aged 18-45 years) suffering from the bent cartilaginous vault with the various degrees of nasal obstruction from January 2005 to December 2009.A open surgical approach was adopted to allow correction of the dorsal and caudal deviations of the nasal septum without weakening its structural support to the dorsum or nasal tip.The approach depended on full mobilization of deviated cartilage,removal of the deviated part of the quadrangular cartilage,followed by straightening of a caudal septal extension graft and its fixation in the corrected position.Rhinoplasty was performed to correct bent cartilaginous vault.Results A satisfactory result was gained in all clinical cases,except a septum still to remain light tilt (not affect the breathing function).Follwing-up for 3-24 months,all cases dorsum of nose was straighten and nasal septum situated mediately.All patients indicated cosmetic satisfaction of nasal dorsum and tip and improvement in nasal obstruction.No nasal deformity and septum tresis was found in all patients.Conclusions ()pen rhinoplasty is a helpful technique in the treatment of the bent cartilaginous vault.Septal surgery is necessary in the patients with cartilage framework,not only to improve breathing but also to achieve a straight,symmetrical and external nose as well.
