Objective　To investigate the significance of TGF-β1, TGFRl and TGFR2 in the pathogenesis and prognosis in patients with myelofibrosis. Methods　The expression of TGF-β1 and its receptors (TGFR1 and TGFR2 ) in bone marrow tissues and the level of TGF-β1 in the blood of 23 patients with myelofibrosis were detected by SABC immunocytochemistry and ELISA repectively. Results　Expression of TGF-β1 and TGFR 1 was significantly higher in primary and secondary myelofibrosis patients than that of the control. No significant difference of TGFR2 expression was found between the groups of myelofibrosis and the control (P>0.05). The level of TGF-β1 in the blood of the patients with myelofibrosis was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.01) and more obvious in secondary cases while TGF-β1 decreased nearly to the normal level when patients were in clinical remission. Conclusion　TGF-β1 and it's receptors may be involved in the pathogenesis of myelofibrosis and might be of importance for the prognosis of the patients with myelofibrosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Chinese Daoyingong method on knee osteoarthritis.Methods Eighty patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into the experiment group and control group in equal number.The control group was given the routine medicine combined with Chinese fumigation and the experiment group was treated with Chinese Daoyin method beside the treatment in the control group.The two groups were compared in terms of the score on visual analog scale of pain and the score on knee function before and after treatment.Results The visual analog scale of pain in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group after intervention and the score on knee function was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.001). Conclusion The intervention with Chinese Daoyingong method plus routine medication and Chinese herbal fumigation is effective in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To screen the optimal dose of Tangtong Formula in vitro. Methods RSC96 Schwann Cells were cultivate by DMEM mediums which contains different concentrations of glucose (5–125 mmol/L). The prevention effects of Tangtong Formula at different concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 mg/mL) on the proliferation of RSC96 Schwann Cells induced by high glucose were detected. After the RSC96 Schwann Cells were cultivated in 100 mmol/L and 125 mmol/L high glucose mediums for 72 h, the apoptosis of RSC96 Schwann Cells was detected by flow cytometry Annexin V/PI, and the apoptosis rate was calculate; the proliferation situation of RSC96 Schwann cells in different times was detected by CCK-8 method. Results RSC96 Schwann cells were in apoptosis after being intervened by 100 mmol/L and 125 mmol/L high glucose mediums. The apoptosis rates were respectively(7.46±0.96)％ and(16.53±1.01)％, with statistical significance compared with control group (P<0.01). Different concentrations of Tangtong Formula could alleviate the inhibitory effect of high glucose on the proliferation of RSC96 Schwann cells, and the threshold concentration of Tangtong Formula in 24 h was 0.25 mg/mL. The concentrations of Tangtong Formula in 0.5 mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL, and 1.5 mg/mL could inhibit the apoptosis of RSC96 Schwann cells induced by high glucos, compared with 125 mmol/L high glucose group, the apoptosis rate of RSC96 Schwann cells decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Among three different doses, when the dose of Tangtong Formula is in 1.5 mg/mL, the effects on inhibiting apoptosis are the best.

Objective To explore the value of serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) level in assessment of disease severity for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods A total of 81 cases of patients with COPD treated in our hospital from September 2015 to March 2016 were selected (COPD group),including 51 cases of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD and 30 cases of patients with stable of COPD.Meanwhile,30 volunteers without COPD were collected as control group.Serum levels of IMA were detected and compared among different groups.Correlations between serum level of IMA and serum level of myoglobin (MYO),troponin T (TNT) and C reactive protein (CRP),and white blood cell (WBC) count were analyzed respectively.A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was also plotted to investigate the diagnostic value of serum IMA level for diagnosing COPD.Results Serum level of IMA in the COPD group was higher than that in the control group [84.1 (79.1,88.5) U/L vs.73.1 (70.2,75.1)U/L],serum level of IMA in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD was higher than that of patients with stable of COPD [85.5 (82.3,89.4)U/L vs.78.1 (75.9,83.0)U/L],serum levels of IMA in patients with acute exacerbation and stable of COPD both were higher than that in the control group,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).The serum level of IMA was positively related with serum level of MYO in patients with COPD (r=0.554,P =0.00).ROC curve indicated when the cutoff value was set as 76.55 U/L,the sensitivity and specificity of serum level of IMA for diagnosing COPD was 88.5％ and 80.0％ respectively,and area under the ROC curve was 0.88.Conclusion Serum level of IMA could be a valuable indicator for clinically assessing disease severity of patients with COPD,which deserves further study through expanding samples size.

Objective:o prepare Danshensu liposomes and investigate drug release characteristics in vitro. Methods: Danshensu liposomes were prepared by a reverse-phase evaporation method. The encapsulation efficiency was used as the index, an orthogonal test was adopted to investigate the effect of concentration of soybean lecithin, ratio of lipid-Danshensu and pH value of solution on the preparation procedure of Danshensu liposomes. The particle size of the liposomes was also investigated by a transmission electron micro-scope ( TEM) . The concentration of Danshensu was determined by HPLC, and the difference of release characteristics in Danshensu li-posomes and Danshensu solution was measured by a dialysis method. Results:The optimum preparation technology was as follows:the concentration of soybean lecithin was 40 mg·ml-1 ,the ratio of drug-lipid was 1: 10,and the pH value of solution was 6. 6. The mor-phology of the prepared liposomes showed spheric structure with uniform diameter, and the average particle size was ( 174 ± 36 ) nm and the encapsulation efficiency was 38. 9%. The linear range of Danshensu was 2. 0-20. 0 mg·L-1(r=0. 9984). The drug release of liposomes in vitro was slower than that of free Danshensu solution in 24 h. Conclusion:Danshensu liposomes with fine morphology have sustained release property.

Objective To summarize our surgical experience on 187 patients undergoing open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Methods Data of 187 patients with infrarenal AAA who were treated electively with open repair between January 1992 and February, 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. Results One patient (0.54%) died perioperatively due to ventricular premature beat, ventricular fibrillation 6 hours after. The mean duration of operative procedure was 3.8 hours. The mean blood loss was 445 ml. Perioperative complications included heart failure in 17 cases, respiratory failure in 8, acute myocardial infarction in 2, cerebral infarction in 1, and acute renal failure in 3. The 1? 3? 5-year survival rate was 97.0%? 84.6% and 78.3%, respectively. Conclusion The aneurysm diameter is not the absolute operative indication. Risk factors for open operation of AAA are old age, severe cardial, pulmonary diseases and renal desfunction. Open surgery is still the treatment of choice for AAA.
