Objective To investigate the lethal effects of energy controllable steep pulses on U_(14) cervical cancer in mice. Methods A total of 48 female BALB/C mice were inoculated subcutaneously with the solution of U_(14) cervical cancer cells line at the right hind limb. The histomorphological changes were observed and the suppressive curve of the tumor was analyzed between experimental group (n=26) treated with steep pulse stimulation and control group (n=22) without any treatment. Results Steep pulses electrical field could selectively injure tumor cells and inhibit cell proliferation. In the experimental group, the phenomena of pyknosis, karyorrhexis and karyolysis of tumor cells were observed by light and electron microscope and got worse as time prolonged. Conclusion Energy controllable steep pulses have a lethal or inhibitory effects on cervical cancer cells.

Objective To evaluate the performance of the Beckman Coulter ACT-5DIFF AL automated hematology analyzer and to verify whether it meets the clinical requirement.Methods The residual contamination rate,accuracy,precision,uncertainty,measurement range,reference interval,and sample injection pattern of detecting system were evaluated.Results The residual contamination of each parameter was less than or equal to 0.18％.According to room between qualitative evaluation results,compared to the target value,bias ranged from 0.32％ to 2.29％.Different concentrations of laboratory variation coefficient (namely precision) of each parameter ranged from 0.35％ to 4.46％,and both of which were less than a third of the CLIA'88 ability verification analysis quality requirements.The expanded uncertainty of each parameter was Uwhite blood cell (WBC) low =7.4％,UWBC high =3.8％,Ured blood cell (RBC) low =3.4 ％,U RBC high =2.8 ％,Uhemoglobin (HGB) low =3.9 ％,UHGB high =2.2 ％,Uplatelet (PLT) low =9.8 ％,UPLT high =7.6％,UMCV low =2.6％,and UMCV high =2.5％.Analysis had a wide measuring range:WBC (0.2 ～ 137.3) × 109/L,RBC(0.72 ～ 7.66) × 1012/L,HGB (20 ～ 231)g/L,PLT(25 ～983) × 109/L,and hematocrit (HCT) (6.1 ～68.0)％.All of them had a linear relationship,and the correlation coefficient of linear regression was close to 1.0.The reference interval quoted was suitable.Both of the automatic and the hand sample injection pattern had no significantly difference in result detection.Five categories of WBC were verified up to standard.Conclusions Under the circumstance of indoor quality control approved,each performance indicator approximately reached the laboratory quality requirements,and it also met the clinical requirements.

Ischemic stroke, gravely affecting human health with its increasing incidence rate , is a common disease of old age . JAK/STAT way , a recently discovered signaling pathway , is not only widely involved in processes of cell growth ,differentiation, and apoptosis ,but also closely related to the pathophysiology of stroke.However,the pathway function and mechanism in ische-mic cerebral stroke has not yet been fully elucidated .We will review the role and mechanism of JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway in ischemic stroke ,and scientifically draw network chart between various related signal molecules in the process of ische-mic stroke neuropathy combining both domestic and foreign re-search reported in this paper , in order to better understand the pathological mechanism process of brain stroke , find new drugs for the treatment of cerebral ischemic diseases ,then provide more systematic scientific literature support .

Clinically being applied treatment against chronic hepatitis has three limitations: low response rates, severe adverse effects and a high rate of drug resistance. Hence, novel targets for antiviral therapy need to be developed so as to provide an armory of different strategies. During the replication of hepatitis B virus, the interaction of viral polymerase (P protein, also called P) and epsilonRNA is indispensable for the initiation of reverse transcription via protein priming and the pregenome RNA (pgRNA) packaging. Three strategies are currently developed for blocking P-epsilon interaction: heat shock protein inhibitors, epsilonaptamers and chemical compounds for blocking formation of P-epsilon complex. Previously, our group has for the first time worldwide in vitro screened several aptamers, which are able to interfere with the P-epsilon interaction. A strong inhibition against HBV was observed in vitro and in vivo experiments, respectively. In conclusion, the so far developed chemicals suppressing the P-epsilon interaction may bypass or overcome the viral resistance problems during clinic treatment and represent a highly attractive option for therapeutic intervention.

Objective To investigate the value of arthrolysis in treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis.Methods 83 cases of scapulohumeral periarthritis were divided into arthrolysis group(45 cases), which were treated with arthrolysis combined with electrotherapy, and control group (38 cases),which were treated with electrotherapy only.Results The effect of arthrolysis group was better than that of control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Arthrolysis can improve the effect on scapulohumeral periarthritis.

Existing reporting guidelines for systematic reviews/Meta-analysis (SRs/MAs) cannot meet the requirements of clinical practice and scientific research, so based on evidence, methods and thoughts on establishing reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews/Meta-analysis were proposed. Through literature analysis, according to evidence-based principle, preliminary ideas on methodology of establishing reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews /Meta-analysis were proposed. With consensus as one main research method, it was proposed that in the consensus that was selected and established by experts, the pro- portion of Chinese scholars should be increased to fully declare the opinions of Chinese acupuncturists, and by verification of practice and application, the reporting guidelines for TCM-featured acupuncture systematic reviews/Meta-analysis can be finally made.

Objective To investigate immunophenotypic characteristics of uterine natural killer (uNK)cells and helper T cell 1/helper T cell 2(Th1/Th2)immunity in third trimester decidua in preeclampsia.Methods The proportions of uNK cell subsets,expression of CD_(69)and CD_(94)on uNK cells and Th1/Th2 immunity in decidua were determined in 20 cases of preeclampsia patients and 11 cases of normal term pregnancies by flow cytometric analysis.Results The percentage of CD_(56)~(bright)CD_(16)~-uNK cell subset in preeclampsia patients and the controls was(17.3?11.1)% vs(17.9?16.8)%,that of CD_(56)~(dim) CD_(16)~+uNK cell subset was(16.3?8.7)% vs(16.2?8.8)%;that of CD_(56)~+CD_(69)~+uNK cells was(37.9 ?18.9)% vs(36.8?19.7)%,that of CD_(56)~+CD_(94)~+uNK cells was(34.9?15.2)% vs(32.7?16.2)% and the ratio of CD_(56)~+CD_(69)~+/CD_(56)~+CD_(94)~+was 1.1?0.2,1.2?0.6.No statistical difference was shown in the above values between the preeclampsia patients and controls.The percentage of cytoto xic T cell(Tc)2 cells was significantly lower in the decidua of preeclampsia patients [(3.0?1.0)% vs(4.3?0.9)%,P= 0.001 ],and the ratio of Tc1/Tc2 in preeclampsia patients was significantly higher than that of normal term pregnancies(17.8?3.4 vs 11.8?4.6;P=0.001);the ratio of Th1/Th2 was increased(15.1?2.4 vs 13.2?3.1;P=0.06).Conclusions The immunophenotypie characteristics of uNK cells do not present any significant change in preeclampsia patients.Owing to Tc2 cell decrease,the Th1/Th2 immunity shifts to Th1 type immunity in the decidua,which might contribute to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of pancreatic cancer muhieellular spheroids in chemosensitivity study. Methods Pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines SW1990, PCT-3 and ASPC-1 were cultured in collagen gel. When the muhicellular spheroids were formed, the drug chemosensitivities of Fluorouracil ( 5-FU ), Gemzar ( GEM ) and Oxaliplatin ( OXA ) were detected by CD-DST and CCK-8 methods. The results were compared with those of scattered cells model. Results The chemosensitivities of three pancreatic lines in form of multicellular spheroids were significantly lower than those of scattered cells model (P < 0. 05). The inhibitory rates of 50 μg/ml 5-FU on SW1990, PCT-3, ASPC-1 were (53.96 ±4.32)% ,(58.49±5.98)%, (49.57±4.36)% ;the inhibitory rates of 25 μg/ml GEM on SWI990,PCT-3, ASPC-1 were (53.02 ± 4.06) %, (61.90 ± 4.80) %, (38.09 ± 4.88 ) % ;the inhibitory rates of 10 μg/ml OXA on SW1990, PCT-3, ASPC-1 were (57.33 ± 6.27 ) %, (50.90 ± 4.80) %, (47.26 ± 4.29) % ;which were significantly lower than those of scattered cells model ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions In collagen gel, formation of the multicellular spheroids of pancreatic cells caused less chemosensitivity and promoted anticancer drug resistance, which was consistent with in vivo state.
