Objective To study the effect of selective COX-2 inhibitor NS398 on IL-10 and IFN-γexpression in human keratinocytes induced by UVA,and further to explore the effect on anti human skin photoaging.Methods HaCaT cells were divided into three groups:simple UV exposure group,NS398-intervene group and blank group.For UV radiation,simple UV exposure group and NS398-intervene group were irradiated with UVA at a dose of 30 J/cm2.In order to assess the effect of NS398,HaCat cells were treated with NS398 at the dose of 0,20,40,80μmol/L respectively and then incubated without irradiation for 2h,substrate changed and cultured for 24h,and then the expression of IL-10 and IFN-γ mRNA was detected via RT-PCR.Results Simple UV exposure group had obviously higher expression of IL-10 mRNA and lower expression of IFN-γ mRNA than that of control group,while NS398-intervened group had significantly lower expression of IL-10 mRNA and higher expression of IFN-γ mRNA than that of simple UV exposure group,and dose-dependency existed.Conclusions NS398 may delay photo-damage of human skin via inhibiting the expression of IL-10 mRNA and up-regulating the expression of IFN-γ mRNA in human keractinocytes.

Objective: Retro-laparoscopic partial nephrectomy is a challenge for ventro-renal tumors, especially hilar tumors.The tumors are partial or entirely out of operative field and there is blind space for operation.To solve this problem, a set of techniques including renal pedicle rotation is developed.Methods: A set of techniques including renal pedicle rotation, double-layer suture, early artery unclamping for retro-laparoscopic nephrectomy for ventro-renal tumors, especially hilar tumors were developed.Hilar tumors were located anteriorly to the angle of the renal and renal arteries and in contact with the anterior surface of the renal artery.The evaluation of the outcomes included the operation time, warm ischemia time, estimated haemorrhage, surgical margin, renal function after operation, and complications.This study reviewed the data of 28 patients with ventro-renal tumor, including 15 patients with complex hilar tumors.Results: The average tumor size was (3.8±0.5) cm.The average R.E.N.A.L score was 8 (ranging from 7 to 9).The average warm ischemia time was (23.8±4.7) min, and suture time was (26.2±6.5) min, and operation time was (124.1±12.1) min.The median hospital stay was 4 days and the average estimated haemorrhage was (139.1±54.0) mL.All the surgeries were operated under laparoscope and no surgery switched to open surgery.Seven patients developed Clavien Dindo Ⅰ-Ⅱ complications after operation.Three patients (10.7%) developed collective system damage and received repair of collective system in time and three patients (10.7%) developed slightly gross hematuria (Clavien-DindoⅠ).Two patients developed wound infection (Clavien-DindⅡ).Three patients (10.7%) got renal vein clamped because of capillary hemorrhage from basilar part of tumors.There were 14 patients received early unclamping of renal artery, and no obvious renal vessel damage was found.There were statistically significant differences between the serum creatinine levels (P<0.05) and the estimated glomerular filtration rates (P=0.02) before and after surgery.All the patients'' serum creatinine levels were in normal range and no patient needed regular dialysis.There was no positive surgical margin and the median follow-up was 7 months without local recurrence or distant metastasis.Conclusion: It is safe and effective to apply renal pedicle rotation technique in retro-laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for ventro-renal tumors.The short-term follow-up results are optimistic, but long follow-up is required.

Objective To identify the relationship between impaired glucose regulation of neuronal apoptosis in hip-pocampus and the ability of learning/memory in rats.Methods The model rats were made by high fat and sugar diet;The morris water maze was used to detect the learning and memory function;The TUNEL method was used to detect neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus .Expression of Bcl-2/Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA/Bax mRNA factor in hippo-campus neurons was detected with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization .Results Compared with NGT group, in IGR group the learning and memory ability were meaningfully decreased (P<0.05);the number of neuro-nal apoptosis in hippocampus was increased significantly ( P<0.05 ); the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2 mRNA in hippocampus decreased significantly ( P<0.05);the expression of Bax and Bax mRNA in hippocampus increased sig-nificantly ( P<0.05 );The ability of learning and memory was positively correlated with expression of Bcl -2 ( P<0.05) and negatively correlated to the expression of Bax (P<0.05).Conclusions There is a relationship between impaired glucose regulation and the ability of learning and memory in rats , its mechanism may be potentially related to hippocampal neuronal apoptosis .

OBJECTIVE:To detect the expressions of five gastric cancer cell metastasis associated genes induced by arsenic trioxide METHODS:The expressions of CD44,P53,nm23,H-ras,PCNA induced by arsenic trioxide were examined by immunohistochemistry method RESULTS:Arsenic trioxide induced the decrease of the expressions of CD44,P53,PCNA in gastric cancer cells;the expressions of nm23 and H-ras were not changed by As2 O 3 CONCLUSION:It is tentatively proved that the antineoplastic action of As2 O 3 may be related to the down-regulation of CD44,P53 and PCNA

Objective:To evaluate the effect of surgery on 47 patients with moyamoya disease by retrospective analysis.Methods:A total of 47 patients with moyamoya disease were enrolled from August,2010 to According to the improved treatment in August,2013,all cases were divided into two groups:a pre-improved group and a post-improved group.According to different surgical methods,they were divided into two subgroups:an indirect revascularization subgroup and a combined revascularization subgroup.Results:The cerebral ischemia in 77.4％ of patients was relieved after the surgery.There was significant difference in outcomes of patients between the pre-improved group and the post-improved group (P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference between the pre-improved indirect revascularization subgroup and the pre-improved combined revascularization subgroup.There was also no significant difference between the post-improved indirect revascularization subgroup and the post-improved combined revascularization subgroups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Surgical treatment can improve the outcomes of patients with moyamoya disease,but there is no significant difference in surgical effects between indirect and combined revascularization.

Objective To introduce inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei on prevention and treatment of moderate bronchial asthma to observe the clinical effect. Method This study was a prospective and controlled study. The patients diagnosed with asthma in our out-patient from March 2009 to December 2010 were collected, who met the following conditions were included in the study: age≥ 14 years; met the criteria of moderate chronic persistent bronchial asthma in Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) in 2008; suspended receiving systemic corticosteroids, Montelukast, ketotifen and other anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic drugs in one month; no significant respiratory tract infections; and other serious illnesses or abnormalities known.A total of 100 patients with asthma were selected, including 37 males and 63 females, age (32.11 ± 12.95 )years. The patients were randomly(random number) divided into two groups: A group(treatment group; 16males and 34 females, age 33.56 ± 14.23 years) and B group (control group; 21 males and 29 females,age 30.66 ± 11.50 years); 50 in each group. No significant difference was noted between the two groups on age and gender composition. The patients in A group were treated with inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei F. U. 36 Injection 1.72 μg/mL × 2 that adding 3 mL normal saline, once a day for 5 days. The patients in B group were treated with salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation (50/100 μg), twice daily for sustainable use. The patients in the two groups were observed for one month. During this course, the patients in the two groups could inhale the salbutamol sulphate aerosol as need to relieve symptoms. And the number of using was recorded. Pulmonary function test and asthma provocative test were carried out on the Day O, 6 and 31. ACT scores were measured before and after the treatment. Results On Day 6 and 31 after treatment, the negative conversion rates of asthma provocative test of the patients in A group were 82% and 78% respectively, B group were 84% and 90% respectively. Provocative test of the patients in the two groups were negative conversion significantly before and after treatment. There was no significant difference between the two groups by chi-square test (P ＞ 0. 05 ). Completely random designed data was analyzed by analysis of variance. The analysis showed that the accumulated doses of methacholine of the patients in the two group increased significantly ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), but no difference between the two groups.There was a improvement trend on forced expiratory volume in one second( FEV1 )of the patients in A group after treatment, but no difference. FEV1 of the patients in B group increased significantly higher ( P ＜0.05), which was significantly higher than A group on the 31th day (P ＜0. 05); Peak expiratory flow (PEF) of the patients in the two group increased significantly on Day 6 and 31 after treatment (P ＜0.05 ).On Day 31, B group was significantly higher than A group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ); Scores of asthma control test (ACT)of the patients in the two group were significantly increased, and the number of using of salbutamol sulfate aerosol was significantly reduced (P ＜0.01 ). B group was obvious than group A (P ＜0.05 ). During treatment, there were only two adverse reaction cases of transient low fever; most obvious was on the third day.Conclusions Inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei would inhibit the airway hyperresponsiveness of the patients with moderate bronchial asthma in short time, improve the symptoms, reduce the acute exacerbation, and reduce the use of rescue medication, which has the roles of prevention and treatment of moderate asthma in a certain period of time.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety in treatment of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods A total of 233 patients with mild to moderate potential AD were enrolled in a 16-week multi-center double blind clinical trial. All patients were randomized into two groups. 110 patients in galantamine group and 108 patients in donepezil group were enrolled in efficacy analysis. The scales of Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog), Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADCS-ADL) and The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) were used to assess the effect at both baseline and the end of 16 weeks. Safety issues, including vital signs, lab assays and ECG examinations were measured. Results Patients in both groups were obviously improved in the total score of ADAS-cog (-5.4?6.4) in the galantamine group and (-4.0?7.3) in the donepezil group, P=0.098). 76% patients of the galantamine group had a score of ADAS-cog less than 20 at the end of 16 weeks treatment, which was higher than that of the donepezil group (58%, P=0.015). The sub-score of speech ability in ADAS-cog were improved in the galantamine group (baseline 2.8?2.9,16 weeks 1.8?2.5) compared with the donepezil group (baseline 2.8?3.0, 16 weeks 2.3?2.9, P=0.035). No significant difference of ADSC-ADL and NPI scale was found between the two groups (P=0.447 and 0.936 respectively). The sleep/night behavior was improved in the donepezil group (baseline 14%, 16 weeks 10%) compared with the galantamine group (baseline 23%, 16 weeks 22%, P=0.012). Two drug-related severe adverse events occurred during the trial, which were platelet reduction in the galantamine group and acute drug-induced hepatic injury in the donepezil group. The incidence of adverse events was 44% in the galantamine group and 47% in the donepezil group respectively. Galantamine had little influence on vital signs and lab assays. Conclusion Safe and well tolerated, galantamine improves the cognition, activities of daily living and neuropsychiatric symptoms of patients with mild to moderate AD.

Objective To investigate the effect of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging guidance in the treatment of acute cere?bral infarction. Methods Patients (n=200) with acute cerebral infarction who visited our clinic within 6 hours underwent CTP examination and were divided into two groups:penumbra group and non-penumbra group according to their CTP imag?ing (presence of penumbra or not). Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt- PA) was administrated for intravenous thrombolysis in both groups. NIHSS (The NIH Stroke Scale), BI (Barthel Index), mRS (modified Rankin Scores) and hemor?rhagic transformation events of two groups were determined before and after thrombolysis to evaluate its effect and prognosis in these two group. Results Compared with non penumbra group, NIHSS was reduced in penumbra group from 7 days after rt-PA (6.67±3.46 vs 4.76±2.04), and this decrease became obvious at 4 weeks after rt-PA (6.67±3.46 vs 3.68±1.93). Effi?ciency rate at 4 week (60.3%) and good prognosis rate at 3 months(71.7%)were both significantly improved in penumbra group than those in non penumbra group(34.7%,56.8%). Conclusion rt-PA under CTP guidance is effective and safe in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. The thrombolytic therapy window can be enlarged according to the presence of pen?umbra or not and the bleeding conversion rate remains at low level.

Objective To verify the reliability of our previously established reverse-transcription loop-mediated isother-mal amplification ( RT-LAMP) method for the detection of sentinel lymph nodes metastasis in breast cancer patients .Meth-ods Sentinel lymph nodes of breast cancer patients were analyzed by RT-LAMP and FDA-approved GeneSearch methods respectively, and the consistency of the two methods was assessed with a kappa concordance test.Results One hundred and thirty-four cases of sentinel lymph node samples were collected from seven hospitals in Beijing .Using the GeneSearch assay as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity and consistentcy of RT-LAMP were 96.2%(25/26),96.3%(104/108) and 96.3%(129/134), respectively.Statistical analysis showed that the two methods were consistent (Kappa=0.8857, P<0.001).Conclusion RT-LAMP is highly consistent with GeneSearch ,efficient,simple and inexpensive, promising a good prospect of application to intra-operative detection of sentinel lymph nodes metastasis for breast cancer patients.
