[Objective] To confirm the effects of Neiguan massaged to prevent ache nausea and vomit after laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).[Methods] 400 patients were randomly divide into 2 groups;the group 1 were treated by Neiguan massage during the LC,the group 2 nothing during the operation.[Results]Group 1 suffered the same ache in the 1st hour as group 2,but less in the last 24h,and less nausea and vomit too.[Conclusions ]Neiguan massage could obviously prevent ache nausea and vomit after LC.

Objective To study the level of umbilical plasma erythropoietin (EPO) in normal and abnormal pregnancy and analyze the influence factors of EPO. Methods EPO concentration in 106 umbilical plasma were measured by enzyme immonoassay. Samples were divided into four groups: control group with healthy full term newborns; hypertension group with neonates born to mothers with hypertension; diabetiec group with neonates born to mothers with diabetes; asphyxia group with neonates with fetal distress or asphyxia. The relationship between the concentration of EPO and gestational age, mode of delivery and pregnant complications were analysed. Results Mothers with hypertension, diabetes, fetal distress or neonatal asphyxia were important factors influencing umbilical blood EPO production ( P

The rabies virus (RABV) is an enveloped RNA virus. It mainly damages the central nervous system and causes anencephaly in mammals and humans. There is now compelling evidence that enveloped virions released from infected cells can carry many host proteins, some of which may play an important part in viral replication. Several host proteins have been reported to be incorporated into RABV particles. However, a systematic study to reveal the proteomics of RABV particles has not been conducted. In the present study, after virus culture and purification by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation, a proteomics approach was used to analyze the protein composition of purified RABV particles to understand the molecular mechanisms of virus-cell interactions. Fifty host proteins, along with five virus-encoded structural proteins, were identified in purified RABV particles. These proteins could be classified into ten categories according to function: intracellular trafficking (14%), molecular chaperone (12%), cytoskeletal (24%), signal transduction (8%), transcription regulation (12%), calcium ion-binding (6%), enzyme binding (6%), metabolic process (2%), ubiquitin (2%) and other (14%). Of these, four proteins (beta-actin, p-tubulin, Cofilin, Hsc70) were validated by western blotting to be present in purified RABV particles. This novel study of the composition of host proteins in RABV particles may aid investigation of the mechanism of RABV replication.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the learning and memory function in neonatal rats under hypoxic conditions. Methods Eighty-four 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 14 each): propofol + 18% oxygen (propofol-hypoxia, group PH), propofol + air (group PA), propofol +100% oxygen (propofol-oxygen, group PO), 0.9% normal saline (NS) + 18% oxygen (group CH), NS + air (group CA), NS + 100% oxygen (group CO). The rats received injection of intraperitoneal propofol 50 mg/kg or NS 5.0 ml/kg once a day for 7 consecutive days and they were exposed to 18% oxygen, air or 100% oxygen at the end of each injection. SaO2 and respiratory rate (RR) were monitored and recorded after administration. The rats were returned to the cage after recovery of the righting reflex. Six rats in each group were sacrificed 24 h after the 7th injection, and the brain tissues were taken to observe the apoptosis in hippocampal neurons. Morris water maze test was used to test the learning and memory function 2 weeks after administration in the other rats. Results RR was significantly lower and the escape latency at T1.2 longer in group PO than in group CO (P ＜ 0.05). RR and SaO2 were significantly decreased, apoptotic index was increased, the escape latency was prolonged and the frequency of crossing the original platform was reduced in group PA compared with group CA, and in group PH compared with group CH (P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group PO, SaO2 was significantly decreased, apoptotic index was increased, the escape latency was prolonged and the frequency of crosing the original platform was reduced in group PA (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Propofol induces apoptosis in hippocampal neurons and decreases the learning and memory function in neonatal rats under hypoxic conditions.

Compounds were isolated through various chromatographic techniques and their structures were identified by spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with those reported in the literatures. Thirteen compounds were obtained from the petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts. Their structures were identified as 4,4'-dimethoxy-9,9', 10,10'-tetrahydro-(1, 1'-biphenanthrene) -2, 2', 7, 7'-tetrol (1), 4, 4', 7, 7'-tetrahydroxy -2,2'-dimethoxy-1, 1'-biphenanthrene (2), 3, 5-dihydroxy-2, 4-dimethoxyphenanthrene (3), physcion (4), chrysophanol (5), emodin (6), genkwanin (7), quercetin (8), quercetin 3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (9), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenylethanol (10), syringic acid (11), vanillin (12), and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (13), respectively. Compounds 1-3 and 5-12 are reported from this genus for the first time.

Objective To evaluate argon-helium cryoablation combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The clinical data of 66 patients with pathologically-proved HCC were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the therapeutic scheme the patients were divided into TACE group (n=31) and combination group (TACE+argon-helium cryoablation, n=35). All the patients were followed up for 5-35 months. The complete remission rate, total effective rate and survival time were evaluated. The short-term and the long-term effectiveness were compared between the two groups. Results Both the complete remission rate and total effective rate of the combination group were significantly higher than those of TACE group (P<0.05). The median survival time of the combination group was significantly longer than that of TACE group (P=0.038). The half-year, one-year and 2-year overall survival rates of the combination group were higher than those of TACE group, although the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, argon-helium cryoablation combined with TACE can improve the short-term effect and prolong the progression-free survival time, although its exact effectiveness still needs to be confirmed by large sample, multi-central and randomized controlled studies.

Objective:To study the pathological mechanism of the inducible co-stimulator molecular and ligand ( ICOS/ICOSL) in Graves disease animal.Methods:45 out-bred BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups with 15 rats in each group;using gene gun to deliver different plasmid injection.Group A was delivered with pCDNA3.0-mICOSL and pCDNA3.0-hTSHR, Group B with pCDNA3.0-hTSHR and null pCDNA3.0 with Group C for immunization as the control group.The concentration of serum free thyroxine immunization was deter mined with immunoassay and serum thyrotropin receptor antibody ( TRAb ) with ELISA, supernatant of IFN-γconcentration in mouse spleen cells was measured with radioimmunoassay,and hTSHR transected CHO cells were incubated to detect the concentration of cAMP to deter mine autoantibody TRAb activity.Results: After plasmid injection serum FT4 level in Group A (0.49±0.25) pg/ml ( q=6.571,P=0.023) was higher than that in Group C,the standard rate was higher than Group B and C (χ2=14.47,P=0.005).IFN-γconcentration of mice spleen cultured supernatant in Group A (1.88±0.41) pmol/L was significantly higher than the other two groups.The activity of autoantibody TRAb in Group A 188.3 (179.7-260.2) %was higher than that in the other two groups ( P=0.027 ) .Conclusion: Exogenous delivery of pCDNA3.0-mICOSL plasmid in GD mice could stimulate the spleen lymphocytes to secrete more IFN-γ,increase the activity of TRAb autoantibodies and might lead to upregulation of immune response in Graves animal model in vivo.
