Objective To discuss nicardipin′s influence on post operation cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in senior patient after hip joint replacement operation.Methods 180 senior patient, who received selective unilateral hip joint replacement operation between October 2015 and October 2016 under the condition of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) were randomly divided into Group A (with nicardipine) and Group B (without nicardipine).Nicardipine was only appropriately pumped into vein in time in Group A.MAP was observed and recorded 30 minutes after starting the operation and at the end of the operation.Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was applied to score the patient one day before, one day, three days and five days after operation, and the number of POCD was recorded.Results Compared with Group B, Group A was obviously lower in MAP level (P<0.05) after 30 minutes.MMSE score of Group A was obviously higher (P<0.01) one day after operation.The number of POCD in Group A was 8 (8.89%) significantly lower than than that of Group B (19, 21.11%).Conclusion Nicardipine could maintain hemodynamic stability of senior patients receiving selective unilateral hip joint replacement operation under the CSEA and prevent POCD to a certain extent.

binding,cellular organelle membrane,and cellular metabolic process of GO enrichment.For the KEGG pathways, the target genes mainly concentrated on the focal adhesion pathway.Conclusion There is a different expression of novel microRNA between SLE and NC groups.The target genes from differently-expressed novel microRNA may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE and clinical symptoms and may be the unique target for further research.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism of how curcumin improves pulmonary vascular remodeling associated with chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
METHODSThe model of chromic hypoxia hypercapniapulmoary remodeling was made. Twenty-four male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 6): group I (normoxia control group), group II (hypxia and hypercapnia model group), group II (disodium cromoglycate control group), group IV (curcumin treated group). The last 3 group rats were put in a hypoxia cabin where the concentrate of O2 was 8% - 11% and the concentrate of CO2 was 3% - 5%, for 8 h a day and lasting 4 w in total. Group III rats were intraperitoneally injected with disodium cromoglycate (20 mg/kg) and group IV rats were administrated with curcumin by gavage (150 mg/kg). The morphological changes of pulmonary vessel walls and the ultrastructure of mast cells were observed by the optics microscope and the transmission electron microscope. Mast cells and its degranulation state were measured by toluidine blue staining and immunohistochemistry. Data were expressed as means ± SD (standard deviation) and analyzed with SPSS17.0 software.
RESULTS(1) By optics microscopy observation, the value of WA/TA was significantly higher in II group than other groups (P < 0.05). (2) Electron microscope showed that the endothelial cells of pulmonary arterioles in III and IV group were near to I group and the proliferation of pulmonary arterial media smooth cell layer and collagen fibers in adventitia was much lighter than those in II group. The membrane of mast cells was more intact in I, III, IV group than II group. (3) The number of mast cells, the degranulation rate of master cells and the number of positive tryptase stained cells in II group were significantly more than those in other groups. (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONCurcumin may inhibit the remodeling of pulmonary vessel induced by chronic hypoxia hypercapnia by mast cell regulation.

OBJECTIVETo classify colorectal carcinoma (CRC) by TNM staging integrated with the gene expression profile and copy number variation (CNV).
METHODSProfile data of gene expression and CNV of CRC were downloaded from public database and processed with batch bias adjustment, quartile normalization, missing value estimation and feature filtration. The processed profiles of mRNA and CNV were introduced into the codes of Bayesian consensus clustering (BCC) method and were used to calculate the subclasses of CRC. With the follow-up information of disease free survival of CRC patients, the prognostic values of the subclasses was investigated and the software of function enrichment analysis was employed to discover the major pathway signaling to each interesting subclass. All statistic analyses were performed under R-3.0.1 environment or by using SPSS 16.0 software.
RESULTSProfile data of gene expression and corresponding CNV from 335 CRC patients with TNM stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ and followed-up information were obtained. After feature filtering, the profiles contained 1578 probes of mRNA and 345 location of CNV. Four CRC subclasses were identified by the integrative analysis with BCC, and the concordances of BCC subclasses and each of gene-based subclasses (Cramer's V=0.49), CNV-based subclasses (Cramer's V=0.51) and Marisa's subclasses (Cramer's V=0.32) were statistically significant (Ps<0.001). Among BCC subclasses, BCC-I had a favorable prognosis, while BCC-Ⅳ had more unfavorable prognosis. The differences of prognosis were significant among BCC-I, BCC-(Ⅱ+Ⅲ) and BCC-Ⅳ with an overall log-rank P<0.001. The top enriched function was DNA damage and repair signaling when BCC-I compared to BCC-Ⅳ, and the new subgroups classified by the genes associated with enriched signaling had the better prognostic value than BCC subclasses but both of them were significantly correlated (Cramer's V=0.39, P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONBCC method is effective to integrate multi-type genomic data for molecular classification of colorectal carcinoma, and the BCC-Ⅳ subclass has poor prognosis, which may be associated with the decreased repairing function of DNA damage.
