Objective The purpose of this study was to access the efficacy of Venlafaxine and Reboxitine on treatment of depressive patients who had not responded to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for eight weeks. Methods 117 cases depressive patients who had not responded to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for eight weeks were divided into three Venlafaxine group(n =41),Reboxitine group(n =39),Original medicine group(n =37) by randomly and were treated by corresponding drugs for 8 weeks. The therapeutic response and safety were evaluated by scale of HAMD and TESS at before and after treatment the end of 1,2,4,8 week. Results The score of HAMD in Venlafaxine and Reboxitine groups were significantly lower than Original medicine group at the end of 4,8 weeks after treatment and the score of HAMD in Venlafaxine group were significantly lower than Reboxitine group at the end of 8 weeks after treatment. The score of HAMD in Venlafaxine and Original medicine groups were marked descendanter than before treatment from after treatment second weekend(P <0.01),while reboxitine group did not marked descent until the 4th weekend after treatment. The reduce score of factors in cognition,retardition and desperation of Venlafaxine and Reboxitine groups were significantly higher than Original medicine group at the end of treatment. The curative effect of Venlafaxine group were supper than Original medicine group. The side reaction of three groups were not difference. Conclusions There are obviously curative effect using Venlafaxine to treat the depressive patients who had not responded to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The time of initial effect in Venlafaxine were rapider than Reboxitine group.

Objective To detect and determine the expression and significance of MHC class Ⅰ chain-related gene A/B (MICA/B) and membrane MIC molecules (mMIC) on the bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNC) of patients with acute leukemia (AL). Methods Expression of MICA/B gene was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptaso polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in MIC-pesitive K562 cell line, bone marrow MNC from 10 healthy people and 69 cases of acute leukemia (AL). Expression of mMIC was detected by Western blotting. The differences of the expression of MIC gene and mMIC between AML and ALL were compared. The prognosis was determined by chromosome type between patients with mMIC+ and mMIC-. Results The expression of MIC gene and mMIC could not be detected in healthy people. The expression rate of MICA gene was 49.28% and the MICB gene was 42.03% and the mMIC was 34.78% in patients with AL. In AML group, the expression rate of MICA gene was 60.00%, and the expression rate of MICB gene was 53.33%, and the expression rate of mMIC was 44.44%. But in ALL group, the expression rate of MICA gene was 29.17%, of MICB gene 20.83%, and of mMIC 16.67%. The expression of MICA/B gene and mMIC in AML group were higher than that in ALL group (P<0.05). The prognosis of patients with mMIC+ is better than the ones with mMIC-. Conclusion The up-regnlation of MIC gene and mMIC in bone marrow MNC from patients of AL may have some relationship with the occurrence of AL The expression of MIC gene and mMIC is high in AML and low or devoid in ALL, which would be an possible mechanism that ALL cells were easy to escape killing from NK and CTL cells. Determined by chromosome type, the prognosis of AL with mMIC positive was better than the ones with mMIC negative. MIC might be one of the factors to determine the prognosis of AL.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the metformin on the formation of hepatic fibrosis in type 2 diabetic rats and discuss its mechanism of liver-protecting activity. After SD rats were fed with high-fat and high-sucrose diet for four weeks, low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) was injected intraperitoneally to make the animal mode of type 2 diabetes. Then, all diabetic rats was fed with the high-fat diet and metformin (ig, 100 mg x kg(-1)) was given orally to metformin group for four months. After the last administration, fasting blood glucose was determined. The livers were removed to calculate the hepatic coefficient and to make HE and Picro acid-Sirius red staining, immunohistochemistry (alpha-SMA and TGFbeta1) and TUNEL staining in order to evaluate the effect of metformin on the hepatic fibrosis. The animal model of type 2 diabetes with hepatic fibrosis was successfully made. Metformin can significantly alleviate the lesions of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, markedly reduce the expressions of alpha-SMA and TGFbeta1 in liver tissue of type 2 diabetic rats. However, TUNEL staining result suggested that metformin could not reduce apoptosis of hepatocytes. The results suggest that metformin can inhibit the formation of hepatic fibrosis in type 2 diabetes.

Background and purpose: Anti-tumor chemotherapy compromises normal immune function of the patients. There were many reports that chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer often inhibit the cellular immune function. The effect of FOLFOX regimen chemotherapy on immunity of the patients with colorectal cancer before and after therapy was studied, and healthy people were used as a control. Methods: Eighty colorectal cancer patients were treated by FOLFOX regimen, which consisted of 2-hour infusion of oxaliplatin(85 mg/m~2) and 2-hour infusion of leucovorin (CF)(200 mg/m~2) on Day 1, followed by 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) bolus (400 mg/m~2) on Day 1 and 46-hour infusion (2 400 mg/m~2). FOLFOX regimen was repeated at 2-week intervals. Two treatments of the above regimen were defined as one cycle. Flow cytometry was used to detect T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in blood samples from patients with colorectal cancer before and after therapy. Data obtained fi'om healthy people was used as control. Results: CD3~+, CD4~+ T cells, NK cells and CD4~+/CD8~+ ratio in blood samples were not significant before and after chemotherapy in first day, second week and fourth week(P0.05). Lower CD3~+, CD4~+ T cells, NK cells and CD4~+/CD8~+ ratio were detected in blood samples from cancer group than that from the healthy control(P<0.05). CD8~+ T lymphocyte were reverse. This change was related to the TNM pathological stage. Conclusion: FOLFOX regimen was effective for patients with coloreetal cancer, which can improve patients' life quality and did not impact on the immune function of the patients. The immune function of lymphocytes in peripheral blood of the patients with colorectal cancer was low, and even worse in the patients with late TNM stage. It is valuable for estimating the function of cell immune of the patients, patients prognosis and the role of immune therapy in the treatment of the patients by detecting T lymphocyte subset and NK cell.
