Objective To investigate the effect of ursodesoxycholic acid (UDCA) on JAK/STAT3/ COX-2 signal pathway in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the underlying mechanism of its antitumor effect.Methods In order to obtain the optimal concentration and time of UDCA,MTT assay was used to detect anti-proliferative activities of UDCA on SMMC-7721 cells induced by IL-6 in vitro.Cells were divided into control group,IL-6 group,AG490 (JAK2 inhibitor) group and UDCA group.The protein expressions of STAT3,p-STAT3 and COX-2 were measured by Western blot.Results MTT assay showed UDCA had obvious anti-proliferative activities on SMMC-7721 cells.The optimized concentrations were 50,100,200 μg/ml,the optimized culture time was 48 h.Western blot results showed that the expression of p-STAT3 and COX-2 were remarkably increased in IL-6 group than that in control group.There was no difference of STAT3 expression between the two groups.Compared with IL-6 group,the protein level of COX-2 was decreased in AG490 and UDCA groups,so was the expression of p-STAT3.But there was no change on STAT3 expression in AG490 and UDCA groups.Conclusion UDCA may decrease the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells via inhibiting phosphorylation of STAT3 and down-regulating COX-2 exprcssion.

Objective To compare the effects of dezocine and fentanyl on analgesia and cognitive state for elderly patients after neurosurgery.Methods A total of 42 elderly patients with brain tumors and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Ⅱ-Ⅲ were randomly divided into two groups:Dezocine group and fentanyl group (n=21,each).The time of recovery and extubation,pain intensity descriptive scale (PIDS),Ramsay score and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) before operation,and 1 h,2 h and 3 h after extubation were recorded.Results The time of recovery [(15.9±2.8) min vs.(16.2 ± 4.3)] min and extubation [(22.4 ± 5.1) min vs.(23.8 3.7) min] between the two groups had no differences (both P＞0.05).And there were no statistical differences between the two groups in Ramsay and MMSE score at 1 h,2 h,3 h after extubation and on PIDS at 1 h after extubation (all P＞ 0.05).The PIDS were lower in Dezocine group than in fentanyl group at 2 h[(2.01±0.79)scores vs.(2.55±0.51)scores,(t =-2.24,P=0.04))] and 3 h after extubation [(2.30±0.66)scores vs.(2.75±0.64)scores,(t =-2.44,P=0.03)].Conclusions The using of dezocine and fentanyl before the end of operation could have a good sedative and analgesia effect on neurosurgery without influence on the duration of recovery and extubation,and dezocine may maintain a longer time of analgesia than fentanyl in elderly patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of conscious state-monitoring device based on time-frequency-balanced spectral entropy of electroencephalogram monitoring during neumsurgical operation.Methods:Sixty-six patients scheduled for elective neumsurgical operation were randomly divided into two groups:control group(Ⅰ group,n=30)and observation group(Ⅱ group,n=36).Patients in control group were titrated to maintain adequate conscious state based on the monitoring of stable intraoperative hemodynamics.In the observation group,anesthetic was given to adjust to maintain the spectral entropy value to keep the adequate conscious state during operation.The values of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP),heart rate(HR),state entropy(SE)and response entropy(RE)were recorded before anesthesia induction,skin incision,at 3 min after intubation,at brain tissue dissection and during the last 10 min.And the parameters before recovery from anesthesia,the total amount of narcotic given were also recorded.Results:The values of SE and RE were significantly lower in the observation group than those in control group at 3 rain after intubation,skin incision,at brain tissue dissection and during the last 10 min,whereas MAP and HR were higher in control group compared with those of the observation group(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜0.01).The recovery index including recovery time of spontaneous breathing,time to eye opening and extubation was significantly decreased in observation group than that in the control group(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The total amount of narcotic consumption was significantly higher in the control group than that of the observation group(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion:During neumsurgical operation,the monitoring of conscious state by spectral entropy is more effective and better than hemodynamic standard practice.

Objective To investigate the effects of different anesthesia methods on oxidative stress in elderly patients undergoing neurosurgery.Methods Totally 60 patients undergoing neurosurgery were randomly divided into 3 groups:propofol group,isoflurane group and sevoflurane group (n-20 each group),heart rate(HR) and mean artery pressure(MAP) in all patients were recorded at the time points of pre anesthesia (T0),incision of skin (T1),incision of dura (T2),end of operation (T3).The activity of superoxide dismuase (SOD),catalase (CAT),and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured at the time of T0,6 h (T4),24 h (T5),48 h (T6),72 h (T7)after operation.The efficacy of anesthesia was evaluated by Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) at 3 months after operation.Results The activity of SOD,CAT and GSH Px in 3 groups were lower at T5and T6 than at T0 (P＜0.05).The SOD activity at T4,T5,T5and TTwere higher in propofol group [(87.2±11.8) U/ml,(75.1±12.4) U/ml,(84.6±9.3) U/ml,(92.5±12.5) U/ml,respectively]than in isoflurane group [(75.0±12.2) U/ml,(63.8±8.9) U/ml,(70.3±9.0) U/ml,(82.5±13.5) U/ml,respectively] and in sevoflurane group [(79.4±10.4) U/ml,(68.7±10.5) U/ml,(72.0±10.9) U/ml,(85.17±8.41) U/ml,respectively] (all P＜0.05).The CAT activity at T5 was higher in propofol group [(66.59±7.21) U/ml] than in isaflurane group [(51.58±8.19) U/ml] and in sevoflurane group [(58.49±7.27) U/ml] (both P＜0.05).The GSH-Px activity was higher at T4,T5and T6 in group propofol[(159.2 ± 20.8) U,(140.7 ± 16.2) U,(152.3 ± 19.1) U,respectively] than in isoflurane group [(129.4±17.9) U,(108.3±15.9) U,(118.4±14.1) U,respectively] and in sevoflurane group [(140.1±15.8) U,(125.2± 17.1) U,(137.9±10.7) U,respectively] (all P＜0.05).The outcome of neurosurgery had no significant differences among the 3 groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Propofol has a better effect on oxidative stress than isoflurane and sevoflurane in elderly patients undergoing neurosurgery.

Objective To compare the accuracy of the seasonal time series decomposition method and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) in the prediction of incidence of tuberculosis(TB) in order to facilitate early-warning.Methods The seasonal decomposition model and ARIMA model were constructed by SPSS20.0 software based on time series of monthly TB incidence between January 2005 and December 2014 in Urumqi,China.The obtained models were used to forecast the monthly incidence in 2015 and compared with the actual incidence respectively.Results Between 2005 and 2014,the incidence of TB was higher during March,April and May in Urumqi.A linear fitting model and a cubic curve fitting model were constructed by the time series seasonal decomposition method.The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of each predicted monthly incidence in 2015 was 18.75% and 92.25%,respectively.The predicted values of the linear model were lower than actual values and the predicted values of the cubic curve model were higher than actual values.An ARIMA (2,1,1) (1,1,0)12 fitting model was established by ARIMA method.The MAPE of each predicted monthly incidence in 2015 was 9.46% and there were no significant differences between the predicted and actual values.Conclusion The ARIMA method is better than the seasonal decomposition method for predicting the monthly incidence of TB in Urumqi.

Objective To compare the differences of disease spectrum between patients with brain trauma injury (TBI) in the high altitude areas and those in the plain areas.Methods The front page information of medical records of local TBI patients admitted to military hospitals from 2001 to 2007 was extracted from the Chinese Trauma Database.Ten military hospitals from high altitude areas (high altitude group) and 10 military hospitals with the same hospital level from plain areas (plain group) were selected and the patients in the two groups were compared for their differences in general condition and disease spectrum.Results High altitude group displayed a larger proportion of male patients (P＜0.01),a lower age (P＜0.01),a smaller proportion of patients with Han nationality (P＜0.01),asmaller proportion of emergency patients (P＜0.01),a larger proportion of critically ill patients (P＜0.01),a lower median of hospital days (P＜0.01),a lower operation rate (P＜0.01),as compared with the plain group.The injury of the patients with TBI in turn were intracranial organ injury (excluding those with skull fracture),open wound of head,neck,and trunk,skull fracture,injury of nerves and spinal cord.The orders of TBI disease spectrum of the high altitude and plain groups were the same,but the disease compositions of the two groups had significant difference (P＜0.01).Conclusions Thereexist significant differences in demographics,admission status and disease spectrum of TBI patients inhigh altitude and plain areas.However,the current clinical treatments of TBI in high altitude areas are usually with reference to the experience in plain areas,which is worthy of paying attention by relevant departments.

【Objective】 To investigate the management of adverse reactions to blood donation(ARBD) in blood services, so as to promote the surveillance of ARBD and improve the quality of blood donation service in Chongqing. 【Methods】 A questionnaire, involving the staff and facilities in blood donation sites as well as the prevention and treatment, the record and report, the following up and data related to ARBD was developed by Chongqing Society of Blood Transfusion in February 2019, and was issued to 18 blood services(1 blood center and its sub-center, 6 central blood stations and 11 hospital blood banks) in the Chongqing via email. The questionnaire was filled in and submitted before March 31 by management personnel participating in the investigation, and the data was collected, collated, revised and analyzed by Excel 2011. 【Results】 A total 19 questionnaires were collected, with the valid rate at 100%(19/19). 78.95%(15/19) of the blood services met the requirements of medical personnel allocation(>6 medical staff) when the number of daily blood collection was more than 60, and 100%(19/19)met the requirements of medical personnel allocation(2 to 6 medical staff) when the number of daily blood collection was less than 60. 89.47%(17/19) of the blood services were equipped with epinephrine hydrochloride, and 84.21%(16/19) with dexamethasone(an anti-allergic drug). There were significant differences in the allocation of other types of drugs. 100.00%(19/19) of the blood services formulated prevention and treatment measures concerning ARBD. In 2019, the incidence of ARBD in Chongqing was reported to be 0.54%(1 958 / 359 871), with the highestas [1.35%(223/16 543)] in subcenters and the lowest [0.32%(179/56 299)] in central blood centers (P<0.05). There was statistical significances in the incidences of ARBD reported by different blood stations(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The monitoring and management of ARBD among blood services in Chongqing should be further standardized in terms of staffing allocation, emergency drugs allocation and reporting, so as to gradually realize regional homogenization and ensure blood safety.
