Point-of-care ultrasound(POCUS)was dominated by emergency or intensive medical doctors.POCUS was a technology which was used to explain the pathophysiological changes, diagnosis and treatments.POCUS was widely used in the evaluation of hemodynamics, lung diseases and the airway managements.In pediatric field, especially the critically newborn treatment, POCUS has brightly prospects.The application progresses of POCUS in neonatal intensive care unit were reviewed in this article.

At present,there is not a clear guideline for residual solvents in the new drugs in our country. In practice,the ICH Q3C is our important reference in general,but in practical research and evaluation of new drugs,some adjustment should be made on principles of ICH Q3C,making it suitable for the reality of the pharmaceutical industry in our country. In this article, we put forward some suggestions to improve the quality control of residual solvents in our country,and some initial ideas were provided to solve the question in practice.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of apoptosis induced by UMI-77 , a novel selective inhibitor of Mcl-1, in gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. Methods MGC-803 cells were treated with UMI-77 in different concen-trations for 24 h, apoptotic rates were determined by Annexin V/PI method using flow cytometry. Mitochondrial membrane potential was determined by JC-1 staining on a flow cytometer. The activation of Caspase-9, Caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP were measured by Western blot analysis. The protein level of Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 was monitored by Western blot as well. Chemically synthesized Mcl-1 siRNA was transfected into MGC-803 cells using Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent. The efficacy of gene silencing was confirmed by Western blot analysis, and opoptotic rates before and after transfection was measured by flow cytometry using Annexin V/PI staining. Results UMI-77 was effective in induction of apoptosis in gastric cancer MGC-803 cells, apoptotic rates were increased in a dose-de-pendent manner. Mitochondrial membrane potential was collapsed after UMI-77 treatment. Activation of Caspase-9, Caspase-3 and cleavage of PARP occurred at 24 h (P<0. 05). The expression level of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL were not altered after exposure to UMI-77 , while Mcl-1 was down-regulated after 12 h ( P<0. 05 ) . Transfection with Mcl-1 siRNA successfully decreased the expression level of Mcl-1 in MGC-803 cells ( P<0. 05 ) and blocked apoptosis induced by UMI-77 ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion UMI-77 induces apoptosis through activation of the intrinsic path-way in gastric cancer MGC-803 cells, and knocking down Mcl-1 expression abrogates apoptosis by UMI-77.

Objective: To observe the anti-tumor effect of Phellinus Linteus and Coriolus Versicolor Capsules (PLCVC) in S180 sarcoma and H22 hepatoma animal models in mice. Methods: The sarcoma S1180 and hepatoma H22 models were established in mice. After 12 days of treatment, the animals were killed, and the subcutaneous sarcoma were separated and weighted. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), CD4 and CD8 of S180 tumor tissue were investigated by immunohistochemical method. KM mice were intraperitoneal injected with H22 hepatoma cells, and treated with different experimental drugs. The survival time was observed and recorded, and life-prolongation rate was calculated. Result: PLCVC could inhibit the growth of S180 and H22 tumor, and inhibit the expression of VEGF, improve the expression of CD4 and CD8. The survival time of the mice treated by PLCVC were significantly longer than the untreated group. Conclusion: PLCVC can inhibit the growth of tumour, the mechanism is partially related to inhibiting angiogenesis and improving the immunological function.

BACKGROUND:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection is a popular postoperative analgesia method and can effectively control postoperative pain and relieve side effects after total hip arthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To compare and assess the effectiveness and safety of intraarticular analgesic injection or intravenous injection of parecoxib after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 60 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned to:treatment group (intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection with morphine, bupivacaine, and compound betamethasone), and control group (intravenous injection of parecoxib). Al patients received tramadol hydrochloride at 24 hours after replacement. Analgesic consumption, visual analog scale at rest and during activity, range of motion, and postoperative complication of patients in each group were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection significantly reduced analgesic consumption. When comparing visual analog scale scores, rest pain scores were significantly less in the treatment group at 12, 24 and 48 hours after replacement than that in the control group (P<0.05). Scores on range of motion were significantly less in the treatment group at 24 and 36 hours than that in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences in total complications were detectable between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05). Results suggested that intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection lessened analgesic consumption after replacement, relieved early pain after replacement, and contributed to early rehabilitation of patients. Moreover, no significant adverse reactions were visible.

Aim To investigate the potential involve-ment of caspase-4 in TRAIL ( tumor necrosis factor-re-lated apoptosis-inducing ligand )-induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. Methods The effect of treatment with TRAIL /z-LEVD-fmk alone or in combination for 24 h on the apoptotic rate of gastric cancer cells was detected by FCM ( flow cytometry) using propidium io-dide DNA staining. Chemically synthesized three siR-NAs targeting caspase-4 gene were transfected into gas-tric cancer cells by Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent. The efficacy of gene silencing was confirmed by Western blot analysis . The apoptotic rates of gastric cancer cells to TRAIL before and after transfection with caspase-4 siRNA were observed by FCM. The expression level of GRP78 (78-ku glucose-regulated protein) protein was examined by Western blot, the classic endoplasmic re-ticulum stress inducer tunicamycin ( TM) was used as a control. The expression levels of caspase-4 and caspase-3 after TRAIL treatment were also measured by Western blot. Results z-LEVD-fmk decreased TRAIL-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells signifi-cantly(P<0. 05). As compared with negative control, the expression level of caspase-4 protein was reduced after transfection, and the apoptotic rate was also de-creased ( P <0. 05 ) . While TM induced marked up-regulation of GRP78 , treatment with TRAIL resulted in, albeit to a lesser extent, increases in GRP78, in-dicative of induction of ER stress by TRAIL. Activa-tion of caspase-4 and caspase-3 occurred early after TRAIL treatment. Conclusion Activation of caspase-4 contributes to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and is asso-ciated with induction of ER stress by TRAIL in gastric cancer cells.

Objective To investigate serum total prostate special antigen(tPSA),complexed prostate special antigen(cPSA)and cPSA/tPSA ratio(C/T) in the differential diagnosis of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH)and prostate cancer(PCa).Methods A total of 184 serum samples from hospital outpatient and inpatient were collected from May 2009 to December 2015,and which were divided into three groups including other diseases 68 patients,benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH group)80 patients,prostate cancer (PCa group)36 patients.Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to detect the concentration of tPSA and cPSA,and the C/T ratio were calculated in the study.Results The tPSA,ePSA levels and C/T ratio were significant different from patients with PCa,BPH and other diseases group(P＜0.01).Compared with BPH group(r=0.661),the tPSA and cPSA levels have a higher relativity in PCa group(cPSA=0.708 × tPSA-0.219,r=0.956).While when tPSA level ranges 4.0-10.0 ng/mL),no significant difference of tPSA,cPSA levels and C/T ratio were found in these 3 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Combined detection of serum tPSA,cPSA and C/T,making importance in the differential diagnosis of BPH and PCa.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of the three-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography (3D-CE-MRA)in the infantile superficial hemangioma.Methods Forty-four children with superficial hemangioma un-derwent conventional and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.MRI scanning was started at the time of inj ection,and four dynamic pha-ses of images were acquired continually.Maximum intensity proj ection (MIP)images were reconstructed to show the blood vessels of the lesions in multiple phases.Results Forty-nine infantile superficial hemangiomas were detected by MRI,including a single le-sion in 41 patients and multiple ones in 3.3D-CE-MRA showed 37 lesions in 32 patients,and other 12 lesions were not found in 12 patients.Conclusion The conventional and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can reflect the location,number and the range of the su-perficial hemangioma,and show the relationship between the lesion and the surrounding tissues.3D-CE-MRA directly shows the blood supply of the tumors.

Objective To investigate whether emodin(1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methylanthraquinone) can attenuate inflammatory response in rats' lungs with acute necrotic pancreatitis (ANP). Method Acute necrotic pancreatitis model was induced by injection of 3% sodium taurocholic acid into the subcapsular of pancreas and emodin was administered by intestine perfusion. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis was measured together with the detection of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 mRNA expressions in rats' lungs by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was detected the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme (ICE) in the rats' lungs. Result Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups are obviously high as compared with normal group(P＜0.05). Plasma amylase was (1 611.20±218.72)IU/L in normal group. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups were (1 981.40±56.81)IU/L, (3 287.40±612.37)IU/L and (4 914.60±746.82)IU/L. Plasma amylase of 3, 6 and 12 h with acute necrotic pancreatitis after treatment with emodin groups were obviously low as compared with acute necrotic pancreatitis groups. The plasma amylase was(1 617.20±136.80)IU/L,(2 323.40±318.19) IU/L and (2 670.20±390.03)IU/L respectively. The study showed that the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokin IL-1β and the expression of IL-6, as well as the expression of IL-1β converting enzyme(ICE) were decreased and IL-10 was increased. Conclusion The study demonstrates that emodin plays an important role in reducing plasma amylase level. Emodin exerts anti-inflammatory effects in acute necrotic pancreatitis rats' lungs by downregulating the mRNA expression of IL-1β and IL-6 and upregulating the mRNA expression of IL-10.
