Background and purpose: Oxymatrine, which is the main effective component of Sopkora flavescens Ait, has anti-fibrosis and antiviral activities, and also has a good effect on leukopenia after either chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Recent studies showed that oxymatrine has the abilities of anti-invasion and killing tumor cells in some degree, and as a supplementary anticancer drug in chemical therapy. In this study, we investigated the antitumor mechanism of oxymatrine by observing cell proliferation and VEGF expression in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line. Methods: Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells was cultured in vitro and treated with oxymatrine, then cell proliferation was examined by the method of MTT. Immunohistochemistry was applied to examine the protein expression of VEGE The transcriptions of VEGF mRNA were demonstrated by RT-PCR technique.Results: Low-dose (0.5 mg/mL) oxymatrine has a mild inhibitory effect on cellular proliferation of SGC-7901 cells (P>0.05). When concentration exceeded 1 mg/mL, oxymatrine significantly inhibited cellular proliferation in a time-and concentration-dependent manner, and down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF (P<0.05).Conclusion: Within a certain drug concentration, oxymatrine can inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells and play a potential role in inhibiting angiogenesis by down-regulating the expression of VEGF.

Objective To evaluate the operative technique, perioperative management and outcomes of bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension. Methods There were 2 cases of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension subject to bilateral sequential lung transplantation with ECMO support (16, 17 years old, respectively). The pulmonary artery pressure was 10/70 and 148/72 mm Hg respectively. The heart function was NYHA Ⅳ, the operative procedure was right lung first, then left lung, and the cold ischemia time was 230 min/430 min and 185 min/300 min respectively. The ECMO support time was 550 min and 450 min respectively. The blood loss during the operation was 3000 and 1200 ml, respectively. Resuits The ECMO was withdrawn 16 and 13 h postoperation respectively. There was unstable hemadynamics and acute left heart failure on the 3rd and 4th day after the operation. The patients were treated with ventilate support and tracheotomy on 3rd and 6th day respectively. Additionally, the patients were given cardiotonic, dieresis and the ventilation was withdrawn on 33rd and 12th day after the operation respectively. They were discharged from the hospital on 93rd and 32nd day after the operation. The heart function both reached NYHA I, two cases were followed up for 25 and 10 months respectively.Both of them had an excellent quality life. Conclusion Bilateral lung transplantation is effective for end-stage idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension even with slight right ventricular dysfunction with satisfactory short-term outcome. A limited operative time, an ECMO support for heart and lung during the peri-operative period and a perfect management for the left ventricular dysfunction after surgery are key roles for the success. Closed follow-up and surveillance are needed for long-term outcomes.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum tumor markers and cervical cancer by using Logistic regression, and to further establish the diagnosis model of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in cervical cancer by using chi-squared automatic interaction detector (CHAID) analysis of decision tree.Methods Total of 581 cases of cervical cancer,342 cases of cervical benign diseases and 341 cases of healthy controls who detected tumor markers in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang during 2010-2013, were retrospectively studied.The test results of carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), SCC, and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) were reviewed.The Logistic regression were firstly used in screening the related tumor markers of cervical cancer, and then the CHAID method of decision tree was used in determining the values of the related tumor markers on the diagnosis of cervical cancer.The SCC elevated cases of uterine disease from January 2014 to December 2014 were collected to verify the diagnostic value of SCC in cervical cancer patients.Results Logistic regression analysis showed that among the 5 tumor markers which might be associated with cervical cancer, SCC was the only one which had statistical significance between cervical cancer and cervical benign diseases (Wald x2 =22.120,P =0.000), the OR and its 95％ CI was 1.900 (1.454-2.483).With the SCC numerical increases, the proportion of patients with cervical cancer also gradually increased, when SCC ＞ 2.20 μg/L, the positive predictive value was 94.7％.In 284 cases of SCC higher than 2.20 μg/L who considered as uterus related diseases, there were 270 cases (95.1％) who were eventually confirmed as cervical cancer.Conclusion There was a good diagnostic value of SCC for cervical cancer patients.

The gut-brain axis (GBA) is a nerve-endocrine mediated bidirectional communication system between the gut and brain, which links the cognition and emotion in brain to peripheral intestinal function. In recent years, many researches have showed that colonized intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the communication between gut and brain. On one hand, microbiota can influence the development and function of brain via GBA. On the other hand, brain can also change the composition of gut microbiota. These findings gradually become a novel medical research highlight, i.e. the microbiota-gut-brain axis. This paper reviews the interaction between gut microbiota and brain via GBA in order to provide supports for studying functions of gastrointestinal tract and brain, as well as the treatment of related diseases.
