OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Qi-replenishing and Yin-nourishing in inhibiting tumor metastasis. METHODS: Fifty mice were randomly divided into replenishing Qi group, replenishing Yin group, replenishing Qi and Yin group, chemotherapy group and control group. Models of Lewis lung cancer and B(16) melanoma were observed in vivo. The tumor weight inhibiting rate, metastatic lung tumor, concentrations of t-PA and TXB(2) in tumor tissue and IL-2 and TNF-alpha in spleen were observed. RESULTS: The tumor weight inhibiting rates of replenishing Qi and Yin group for Lewis lung cancer and B16 melanoma were both 42.9%. Replenishing Qi and Yin could decrease the contents of TXB(2) and 6-keto-PGF(1alpha), and increase the levels of IL-2 and TNF-alpha. CONCLUSION: Replenishing Qi and Yin can promote the healthy energy to inhibiting tumor metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of different dose dexmedetomidine on reducing agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in patients underwent repair of indirect inguinal hernia.Methods 105 cases of ASA Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ received operation with inhalation of 3％ sevoflurane to induce anesthesia,and then randomly divided into three groups,35 cases in each group.The control group injected with 0.9％ sodium chloride,observation 1 group injected dexmedetomidine 0.15μg/kg,observation 2 group injected dexmedetomidine 0.30μ g/kg.Then placed oropharynx airway ventilation,caudal block.Anesthesia was maintained with 1.2％ sevoflurane,maintain its independent ventilation.Hemodynamic and respiratory changes of the children were recorded.Time to eye opening(TEO) at the end of anesthesia was also recorded.Results Three groups of children had similar operation process.TEO of the control group was (8.45 ± 4.02) min,observation 1 group was (9.23 ± 5.03) min,observation 2 group was (10.81 ± 4.06) min (t =1.23,1.64,all P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of agitation of the control group was 42.8％,that in the observation 1 group and observation 2 group was 20％,8.6％.Observation 1 group was significantly lower than that of control group (x2 =3.72,P ＜ 0.05),observation 2 group was significantly lower than that of control group and observation 1 group (x2 =5.14,4.27,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The dose of dexmedetomidine 0.3 μg/kg administered after induction of anesthesia could reduce the postsevoflurane agitation in children and have no adverse effects.

The present study used the experimental patterns of Go/No Go and no motion contingent negative variation (CNV) task into the research in order to study whether the CNV can express the implication of expectation. Through comparing the CNV under different conditions, the data collected from experiment showed that the key to evoked CNV was close to the warning signal and command signal. Whether the command signal was related to the task would impact on the amplitude of the CNV. This characteristics responses to the subjects' expectation. On this basis, CNV can be used as the electrophysiological index for the reflection of expected value in the conditions of this experiment.

To rapidly identify the compound Yiganling tablets from different manufacturers by near-infrared fibre-opti-cal spectroscopy and detect the content of silymarin. Methods:The ninety-three batches of compound Yiganling tablets from six manu-facturers were used as the analysis objects. Clustering analysis model of compound Yiganling tablets was established. The spectra were pretreated with the second derivative and vector normalization;the number of smoothing point was thirteen; the wavelength range was 9 000-4 100 cm-1;the distance between the spectra was Euclidean distance, the distance between the spectra and the class was the sum of square of the variance(Ward’s method). The quantitative model was established using the same samples. The spectra were pretreated with the first Derivative and vector normalization;the number of smoothing point was seventeen;the wavelength ranges were 9 100-7 300 cm-1 and 7 100-4 100 cm-1;the regression method was partial least squares ( PLS) algorithm. Results:The clustering model could identify the samples of training set, and validate the thirty spectra of test set accurately. For the quantitative model of the content of silymarin, the root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) was 0. 082 8 and the determination coefficient R2 was 97. 98%. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 0. 044 1 and the correlation coefficient R2 was 98. 95%. Conclu-sion:The clustering analysis and the quantitative model are rapid and simple, accurate and reliable, and can be applied in fast drug a-nalysis.

AIM: To study the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on adhesion and migration of human airway epithelial cells and it's mechanism. METHODS: After 24 h culture, the airway epithelial cells were treated with different concentrations of CSE. The rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration were measured. The expression of FIP200 mRNA and protein were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: CSE inhibited the rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration. Meanwhile CSE increased the expression level of FIP200 mRNA and FIP200 protein. The effects of CSE became more evident with increased concentration of CSE. Expression of FIP200 mRNA and FIP200 protein were positively correlated to the decreased rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration. CONCLUSION: CSE inhibits the rate of cell attachment, the velocity of cell migration and increases the expression of FIP200.

AIM: To study the effects of NF-?B decoy oligonucleotides(ODNs) modified with locked nucleic acids(LNA) on gelatinases(MMP-9 and MMP-2) expression and NF-?B activity induced by TNF-? in alveolar macrophages(AM) from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).METHODS: AM was collected from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with COPD.NF-?B decoy ODNs and mismatch ODNs were modified with LNA, and transfected into AM by using Lipofectamine 2000.Then the AM were stimulated for 24 h with TNF-?.Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of MMP-9 and MMP-2.MMP-9 protein expression was detected by Western blotting.NF-?B activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA).RESULTS: NF-?B decoy ODNs significantly inhibited MMP-9 and MMP-2 expression induced by TNF-? in AM(P

Objective To explore the relationship between smoking, alcohol drinking and gallstone disease in general male population in Guangdong. Methods Each subject received a questionnaire and took an upper abdominal ultrasound examination in a cross-sectional study. Results The prevalence of gallstone disease became higher with the increase of amount of cigarette smoking per day (trend test ?2=5.542, P=0.019) and with the total amount of cigarette smoking in their life (trend test ?2=7.302, P=0.007), these significance remained after controlling well-known risk factors for gallstone disease such as age and body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.269,95%CI: 1.018~1.580 for cigarette smoking per day and OR=1.295, 95%CI: 1.020~1.646 for total ). Little to moderate alcohol drinking (

AIM: To study the role of adrenomedullin(AM) in the pathogenesis of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. METHODS: Rats were exposed to chronic hypoxia for 14 days. After the measurement of the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), the rats were executed. The weight of the right ventricle (RV), the left ventricle(LV) and the ventricular septum(SP) were determined. The ration RV/(LV+SP) was used to express the thickness of RV. In situ hybridization was used for the detection of the expression of AM mRNA in the lung and RV. RESULTS: The RVSP in the hypoxic group was (63.63?3.42) mmHg,which was significantly higher than that in control group [(34.13?3.40) mmHg]. The RV/(LV+SP) in hypoxic group was 0.439?0.039,which was increased obviously when compared with that of control (0.230?0.025). The level of AM mRNA expressed in the RV in the hypoxia group was significantly higher than that in the control group. CONCLUSION: The expression of AM mRNA in RV increased in the hypoxic condition, which suggests that AM may attenuate the inappropriate increase in pulmonary artery pressure.

Methods Endometrium integrin ? 4? 1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry method in the mid secretory phase of 48 normal natural cycles. CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG cycles in 30 polycystic ovary syndrom (PCOS) patients and 48 normal women. Results The expression of endometrial integrin ? 4? 1 was stronger in the natural cycls than those of ovulation induction cycles with CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG. So was the pregnancy cycles as compared with the non pregnant cycles. Conclusion The endometrial receptivity in the min luteal phase and pregnant rate declined during ovulation induction by CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG in either normal women or PCOS patients.
