Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of two parenteral nutrition (PN)methods in preterm infants. Methods Forty-two preterm infants who could not tolerate full enteral feeding were randomly divided into two groups. Twenty-two cases of the experimental group started to receive amino acids (AA) by 1.0 g/(kg·d) within 24 h after birth. Then AA was increased by 1.0 g/(kg·d)each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg·d)The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA within 48 h. Complete PN was achieved 5 d after birth. Twenty cases of the control group started to receive AA by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) ,and then increased by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg ·d). The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA after 72 h. Complete PN was achieved at 8 or 9 d after birth. The feeding results was observed,the blood biochemistry was monitored at 72 h and 10 d after birth,and the incidence of complication was recorded. Results In comparison with the control group, time returning to birth weight, the weight loss rate, PN time and time returning to full enteral feeding were shorter in the experimental group (P <0. 01). There were no significant differences in the blood glucose,total bilirubin, urea nitrogen,carbon dioxide combining power,total cholesterol and the incidence of complication between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Quantity sufficient and early parenteral nutrition can be tolerated by preterm infants within 24 h after birth.

Esophageal gastric variceal bleeding(EGVB)is a serious complication of cirrhotic portal hypertension with high mortality rate. Prevention of EGVB is an important mean to improve the survival of patients. Non-selective beta-blockers(NSBBs)is one of the first-line drugs for primary and secondary prevention of EGVB,however,only about 1 / 3 of cirrhotic patients respond to this treatment when evaluated by hepatic venous pressure gradient( HVPG). This may be related to the genetic polymorphisms of NSBBs’receptors and the metabolic enzymes. This article reviewed the progress in study on therapeutic efficacy of NSBBs and its influencing factors for preventing EGVB in cirrhotic patients.

RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,the threshold of pain in mice were increased in ATMP 400,200,100 mg(gross polysaccharide)/(kg·d)groups;the exhaus-tive swimming time of mice were prolonged significantly,and the contents of hepatic glycogen in mice were increased significant-ly,while serum contents of CK decreased in ATMP 200,100 mg(gross polysaccharide)/(kg·d)groups;the content of muscle gly-cogen in mice was increased significantly in ATMP 200 mg (gross polysaccharide)/(kg·d) group,while serum contents of BUN and LDH were decreased;the degree of paw swelling in rats was decreased in ATMP 100,50,25 mg(gross polysaccharide)/(kg·d) groups,with statistical significance (P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was no significant difference in body weight of mice before and after medication. CONCLUSIONS:ATMP has significant analgesic and anti-fatigue effects on mice and anti-inflammatory effect on rats.

Objective To study the value of CT and barium radiograpy in diagnosis of gastric schwannoma.Methods A retrospectiveanalysis was made on imaging of 8 patients with pathologically approved gastric schwannoma.Plain abdominal CT scan was performed in all patients, additional enhanced CT scan was carried out in 6 cases and barium radiography of upper digestive tract was carried out in 5 cases. Results The lesions localized in fundus ventriculi in 2 cases, curvatura ventriculi minor in 4 cases and pars pylorica in 2 cases. Three main types were seen: localized mass type (n=4), localized thickening of gastric paries type (n=2) and huge mass type (n=2).Conclusion In comparison with barium radiography of upper digestive tract, CT can accurately demonstrate the shape, the location and internal structure of lesions.Three main patterns of this lesion also can be showed clearly by CT scans and suggestive diagnosis can be made in some patients combined with barium radiography of upper digestive tract images.

Objective: The antitumor mechanism of Pleurotes sapidus on 4 kinds of tumor cell lines was studied. The active components of its ethanol extracts were studied. Methods:Using techniques of cell culture in vitro, phytochemical methods, FACS and RT-PCR, expressions of p53 and fas gene of four tumor cell lines treated with Pleurotas sapidu were analysed. Results:The apoptosis rates were remarkably increased after treated by ethanol extracts (0.1g/ml) and water extracts (0.1g/ml) for 12 h and 24 h respectively. The expression of P53 protein in the groups of ethanol and water extracts were significantly increased, and the gene expressions of p53 and fas were aslo highly up-regulated. Conclusion:The antitumor effect of Pleurotas sapidus on tumor cell lines in vitro is evident, and its mechanisms are probably associated with the regulation of apoptosis by inducing the gene expressions related to apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of CDT1 gene over-expression on the apoptosis and cell cycle distribution in liver cells with a characteristic of genomic instability induced by radiation(GIR).Methods Lentivirus particles were transferred into liver cells of GIR to up-regulate the expression of CDT1 gene.The apoptosis and the cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).The expression changes of p53,ATM,ATR,Bcl-2,and Caspase-3 genes were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results CDT1 gene was efficiently increased by the gene transfection(t =15.56,P < 0.05).In the CDT1 over-expressed cells,while the apoptosis ratio was increased (t =4.19,P < 0.05),the expressions of p53 and Bcl-2 gene were decreased (t =-4.21,-2.06,P < 0.05),but the expression of ATM,ATR and Caspase-3 changed with no significant difference compared with control.Conclusions Over-expression of CDT1 could regulate genomic instability through apoptosis pathway and checkpoint independent of p53.
