Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) are gelatinases of matrix metalloproteinase family,which play a crucial role in the cancer cell growth,differentiation,invasion,migration,the regulation of tumour angiogenesis and immune surveillance because of their ability to degrade extracellular matrix proteins.So they are significantly associated with development and progression of various tumors.In recent years,the inhibitors and drugs against MMP-2 and MMP-9 arouse wide concern.

To investigate the role of rehabilitation therapy both on nutritional status and intestinal adaptation of patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Methods The literatures about rehabilitation therapy for SBS were reviewed. Results Intestinal rehabilitation refers to the process of restoring enteral autonomy, in order to get rid of parenteral nutrition, usually by means of dietary, medical, and surgical treatment. Recent researches showed that medication and the use of specific nutrients and growth factors could stimulate intestinal absorption and might be useful in the medical management of SBS. Conclusion Intestinal rehabilitation is of benefit in the treatment of SBS and would play a greater role in the future.

Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs)have various pathological types,extremely different biological behaviors,and different progno-sis.Current diagnosis of PCLs mainly depends on a comprehensive analysis of the patient's medical history,clinical manifestations,imaging examinations,serological examinations,fine needle aspiration biopsy,and cytological examination of cyst fluid.Needle -based confocal la-ser endomicroscopy (nCLE)is a novel method of microscopic endoscopy and is compatible with 19 -gauge puncture needle.Under the guid-ance of endoscopic ultrasound,nCLE can achieve real -time in vivo imaging of the cellular and subcellular structures of diseased tissues and thus helps with the accurate diagnosis of PCLs.This article reviews the application of nCLE in the diagnosis of PCLs.

156 stroke patients were assessed retrospectively by Self Depression Scale. The incidence of depression after stroke,and the relationship of depression between age, course, location of impairment, the character of the stroke,and ADL ability were included in the study. The conclusion showed that depression was related significantly to severe impairment in ADL.

Objective To measure the serum levels of IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and explore their clinical value. Methods The serum levels of IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 were meas-ured by ELISA methods in 102 patients with RA and 50 healthy controls;analyzed the correlation among the IL-32, chemokine CXCL13 and the clinical data, inflammation maker of RA, such as X-ray stage, the bone destruction, the number of tender joints, the number of swollen joints, DAS28,ESR,CRP,CCP,RF,TNF-α,IL-6, etc. Results The serum levels of IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 were significantly higher in RA patients than that in healthy controls(P<0.05). Moreover,the serum levels of IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 those patients who had bone de-struction were higher than those with no or mild bone destructions(P<0.05);there was a positive correlation be-tween IL-32, chemokine CXCL13 and X-ray stage, the bone destruction, DAS28, ESR,CRP,CCP,TNF-α,IL-6. Especially, there was a positive correlation between IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 (r=0.509,P=0.000). How-ever, there was no relationship with the number of swollen joints, tender joints, and RF. Conclusion The serum levels of IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 were increased significantly,which was closly related with the disease activ-ity and inflammation maker. The results indicate that the abnormality of IL-32 and chemokine CXCL13 may be use-ful for the evaluation of disease activity and monitoring the progress of the disease.

Objective To understand the working stress source of nurse anesthetists and its coping measures. Methods The semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted in 11 nurse anesthetists from 4 hospitals. The collected data were analyzed and concluded by using Colaizzi’s seven step method of phenomenological analysis. Results Four themes were extracted and a series of sub-themes, including work environment, work characteristics and nature, confusion of career prospects and coping styles. Conclusions Managers should pay close attention to anesthesia care. The laws and policy of the qualifications standards for nurse anesthetists should be made, which can reduce the stress of nurse anesthetists including healthy and harmonious working environment, a professional training system of nurse anesthetists and career planning. So that we can improve the professionalism of nurse anesthetists.

Delayed healing of abdominal postoperative incision was treated with moxibustion plus warm acupuncture. After routine manipulation, 30 cases were treated with moxibustion with two lighted moxa sticks over the incision. Meanwhile, bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) were selected to insert perpendicularly by filiform needles of 40 mm in length. After arrival of qi, moxibustion with warming needle was given. Thirty-four patients were treated by the surgical routine manipulations. After 2 courses of treatment, the effective rates were 100% and 70.6% respectively.

Objective To study the methods and significance of motor and sensory areas mapping by optical intrinsic signal imaging (IOSI) and neuromonitoring (IOM) during the operation on the lesions near the central sulcus. Methods Intraoperative neuromonitoring were firstly used to map the central sulcus and motor cortex in 5 patients with glioma undergoing surgery. Then, intrinsic optical signals imaging were used to locate the postcentral gyrus. According to the results of mapping, microsurgical operation was chosen for the resection of glioma and postoperative functional results were evaluated. Results All the patients acquired accurate location of central sulcus, motor cortex and somatosensory cortex. The enhanced MRI performed within 24 hours postsurgery showed total resection in 5 cases. The motor and somatosensory function of 5 patients returned to normal after 3-12 months. Conclusion Intraoperative location of the somatosensory area and motor area by optical intrinsic signal imaging and neuromonitoring is a reliable and safe method.

Objective To study the effects of linderae on alcoholic-induced acute liver injury in SD rats. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, biphenyl double ester group,and radix lin-derae group. The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) ,aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) were detected with routine laboratory methods using an autoanalyzer. Histopathological changes were assessed by HE. The activities of superoxidedismutase ( SOD) and the level of malondialdehyde ( MDA) in liver homogenates were measured by spectrophotometry. The expression of interleukin-1β( IL-1β) ,nuclear factor-κB( NF-κB) , and tumor necrosis fac-tor-α ( TNF-α) in the liver were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the normal group, the levels of serum ALT, AST in rats treated with radix linderae were significantly decreased. The activity of serum and liver tissue SOD was significantly increased. Furthermore, the levels of IL-1β, NF-κB and TNF-αwere signifi-cantly decreased after treatment with radix linderae ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion The results of our study indicate that extracts from radix linderae alleviate alcoholic liver injury, in part maybe by improving the SOD activity of liver tis-sue and by increasing the antioxidant capacity. Meanwhile, the ability of linderae to reduce proinflammatory cyto-kine has a direct protective effect on hepatocytes.
