ObjectiveTo study the risk factors of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP) in cirrhotic patients with ascites. MethodsThe clinical data of 186 cirrhotic patients with ascities from February 2005 to March 2010 were retrospectively analyzed were divided into two groups,the one with SBP and the other without SBP. The following factors such as sex, Child-Pugh grade were analyzed with binary logistic regression. ResultsAmong those factors ,3 factors were proved to be risk factors for SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites by analysis of single and multiple variables. Those were Child-Pugh grade score, serum bilirubin level and ascitic fluid albumin. ConclusionSBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites was affected by many factors. The Child-Pugh grade score, serum bilirubin level and ascitic fluid albumin were independently associated with risk factors of SBP, so it was important to pay attention to those factors in preventing the onset of SBP.

Objective To explore the relationship between lung function and bone mineral density (BMD) in nonsmoking women. Method The healthy women who came to our hospital for physical examination from June 2013 to March 2014 were chosen. Totally 508 cases, average age 49.33±8.66 years , were included through the questionnaire and further examination. The lumbar BMD was measured with dual energy X-ray absorption, the subjects were divided into normal bone mass group, osteopenia group, and osteoporosis group according to the diagnostic criteria of WHO. Through questionnaires, the human body composition analyzer, pulmonary function test apparatus were used to acquire their general information, body mass index (BMI) and pulmonary ventilation function. The data were compared by analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were applied to explore the relationship among the pulmonary ventilation function and bone mineral density of lumbar spine and lumbar bone area (BA). Result BMI, forced vital capacity rate of one second (FEV1/FVC) were not significantly different among the three groups (F values were 0.192, 0.296;All P>0.05);the other indicators of pulmonary function including forced vital capacity (FVC),FVC percent predicted (FVC%), forced expiratory volume in first second(FEV1), FEV1 percent predicted(FEV1%),peak expiratory flow rate(PEF)decreased markedly in osteoporosis group compared with normal group and osteopenia group (F=15.313, 5.508, 18.890, 5.440, 6.763;all P<0.05). The lumbar spine BMD and lumbar BA declined significantly in osteoporosis group and osteopenia group comparing with normal group(F=169.053, 205.660, 224.567, 201.086, 276.927, 3.550;all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1%, PEF were negatively correlated with age (all P<0.01);FVC, FVC%were negatively correlated with BMI (all P<0.05) , FEV1/FVC was positively correlated with BMI P<0.05);FVC was positively correlated with lumbar BMD and lumbar BA (P<0.01). FEV1 were positively correlated with lumbar BMD and lumbar BA(all P<0.01). Multiple regression showed that age, BMI, and lumbar BA were correlated with FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1/FVC(All P<0.01). Conclusion In healthy nonsmoking women, age, BMI, and lumbar BA are the main influencing factors of pulmonary function;except for FEV1/FVC, the other indicators of pulmonary function decreased markedly in osteoporosis group.

Objective: To investigate the effects of ATRA (all-trans-retinoicacid) combined with gamma radiation on proliferation and apoptosis of human esophageal carcinoma TE13 cells, and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods: The effect of ATRA on the proliferation of TE13 cells was detected by MTT method. When the cell growth RI (inhibitory rate) reached levels of 25%, 50% and 75%, the TE13 cells were treated with the corresponding inhibitory doses of ATRA combined with 4 Gy gamma radiation. The effects of this combination intervention on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of TE13 cells were detected by FCM (flow cytometry). The colony-formation ability and cell viability were detected using colony-formation experiment. The expression of cyclinD1 protein was detected by FCM. Results: The inhibitory effect of ATRA on the proliferation of TE13 cells was significant in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The cell growth IRs reached 22.0%, 55.1% and 71.1% at ATRA concentrations of 0.78, 6.25 and 12.5 μmol/L, respectively. The cell viability and colony-formation efficiency were significantly decreased in TE13 cells treated with ATRA in combination with 4 Gy gamma radiation, as compared with TE13 cells receiving administration of ATRA alone. The proliferative ability of TE13 cells was significantly reduced after ATRA treatment in combination with 4 Gy gamma radiation for 24 and 48 h; furthermore, the percentage of the cells arrested at phase G0/G 1 was increased accompanying with a significantly elevated apoptotic rate. Although the combination treatment (0.78 μmol/L ATRA and gamma radiation) had a weak influence on the expression of cyclinD1 protein, which was significantly decreased in other groups (6.25 and 12.5 μmol/L ATRA). Conclusion: ATRA exerts an inhibitory influence on the proliferation of TE13 cells through down-regulating cyclinD1 expression, arresting the cells at phase G0/G1, and inducing apoptosis. A higher-concentration of ATRA combined with gamma radiation can significantly decrease the expression of cyclinD1, promote G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, accelerate apoptosis, and limit the colony formation, but a lower concentration of ATRA combined with gamma radiation exerts a little influence on cyclinD1 expression, although it may accelerate apoptosis and limit the colony-formation at some periods of time after treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of early intervention on adhesion molecule NB-3 expressing in cerebral injured neonatal rat induced with intrauterine infection. Methods Pregnant rats were consecutively injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 380 μg/kg or saline 17 d after gestation. The offspring from the LPS group accepted early intervention (I group, n=40) or not (NI group, n=40), and those for saline group were as control group (n=40). They were assessed with suspension test 14 d and 28 d after born, and the expression of were NB-3 were detected with immunohistochemistry 1 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d, 28 d after born. Results The expression of NB-3 was different among these 3 groups, as well as the scores of suspension test (P<0.001). Conclusion Intrauterine infection increases the expression of NB-3 of neonatal rats with brain damage. The early intervention may increase persistently the expression of NB-3, and improve the motor function.
