Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2014;(12):1328-1331
Gastroesophageal reflux cough (GERC) is a special type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and one of the common causes of chronic cough .The therapies of GERC include general treatment , medication and surgery .At present antireflux medicine is the major therapy to GERC .A lot of new kinds of medicine have being developed and applied in addition to antacid and gastric motility improver .The short-term and long-term effects of antireflux surgery have nott been confirmed due to the lack of reliable prospective randomized controlled studies .The advancements on therapy of GERC are reviewed in this paper .

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of selenium-enriched garlic on patients with oligoasthenospermia.Methods From October 2012 to August 2013,160 patients with oligoasthenospermia were randomly divided into two groups.Treatment measurements for 80 patients in the control group included oral treatment of Shengjing capsules 1.6 g/time Tid,Vit-E soft capsules 100 mg/time Tid,and took Vit-B 0.2 g/time Tid,for three months.Treatment measurements for 80 patients in the treatment group included oral treatment of selenium-enriched garlic in addition to all the above,for three months.We observed the changes of the semen quality indexes (including semen volume,sperm density,motility,survival rate,etc.) of two groups before and after treatment.Results Sperm quality was improved after treatment in both groups.All indices in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions For patients with male infertility caused by oligoasthenospermia,The use of combination of selenium-enriched garlic and Shengjing capsules can improve the quality of sperm.

Objective to provide the evidence for inducing the SAP model in rats with proper concentration of sodium taurocholate.Methods 60 SD rats were divided into sham operated group, group of 1.5% in concentration, group of 3.5% in concentration and group of 5% in concentration randomly, while the SAP model was induced by the sodium taurocholate concentration of 1.5%,3.5% and 5% with the method of retrograde injection into the biliopancreatic duct.To calculate the mortality of different groups, measure the serum amylase, tumor necrosis factor -α(TNF -α) and interleukin -6 (IL -6),and to observe the pancreatic pathological scores of HE staining in rats.Results The mortality in group of 5% in concentration has a significant ascending compared with group of 1.5% in concentration, while the serum amylase, tumor necrosis factor -α(TNF -α) , interleukin -6( IL -6), pathological score of hemorrhage and acinar necrosis in group of 5% in concentration have a significant ascending compared with group of 1.5% in concentration and group of 3.5% in concentration.Conclusions A better SAP model may be induced by sodium taurocholate with the concentration of 5% by the method of retrograde injection into the biliopancreatic duct, which may accord with the physiological and pathological manifestation of SAP.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the effect of circ_0001429 on proliferation and apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by regulating miR-139-5p/TGF-interacting factor 1(TGIF1)axis. Methods: The expression of circ_0001429 in bladder cancer cell lines SW780, T24, 5637 and human bladder epithelial SV-HUC-1 cells were detected by RT-qPCR. Targeted regulatory relationship between circ_0001429 and miR-139-5p as well as miR-139-5p and TGIF1 was measured by Dual luciferase reporter gene assay. T24 cells were divided into NC group, sh-circ_0001429 group, miR-139-5p mimics group, sh-TGIF1 group, pcDNA-circ_0001429+sh-TGIF1 group, miR-139-5p mimics+pcDNA-TGIF1 group and sh-circ_0001429+miR-139-5p inhibitor group. Western blotting was used to detect the expression level of TGIF1 in each group. CCK-8 method, Transwell experiment and Flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of circ_ 0001429, miR-139-5p and TGIF1 on proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis of T24 cells, respectively. Results: Circ_0001429 was highly expressed in three bladder cancer cell lines (P<0.01). Knockdown of circ_0001429 significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration of T24 cells while promoted the level of cell apoptosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of Dual luciferase reporter gene assayconfirmedthatthereisatargetingrelationshipbetweencirc_0001429andmiR-139-5p as well as between miR-139-5p and TGIF1. Overexpression of miR-139-5p significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of T24 cells while promoted the level of cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Recovery experiments further confirmed that the competitive binding of circ_0001429 and TGIF1 to miR-139-5p promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of T24 cells while inhibited the level of cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Circ_0001429 promotes proliferation, invasion and migration and inhibits apoptosis of bladder cancer T24 cells by competing with TGIF1 to bind to miR-139-5p.

【Objective】 Tostudy the effect of sex-differentiated human IgG samples on Dendritic cells (DC) secretion of inflammation-related factors and explore the effect of residual sex hormones in IgG products (such as IVIg) on the secretion of IL-6 by DC. 【Methods】 According to the standard IVIg production process, the company was entrustedto prepare sex-differentiated plasma purified IgG samples, and two sex-differentiated IgG samples with different sex ratios (male to female ratio1: 0, 0: 1) were obtained. The samples and referenceswere treated with human DC (induced by THP-1 cells) respectively. After 24 h of culture, the chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4), adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IFN-) in the cell supernatant were detected, The effects of different samples on the secretion of inflammation-related factors by DC were compared. The effect of sex hormone residues on the anti-inflammatory ability of IgG products was preliminarily explored uing sex hormones and sex hormone receptor blockers. 【Results】 The samples in each group significantly inhibitedthe secretion of chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4) and the adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) by mature DC (compared with the PBS group, P<0.05), but significantly promoted the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1a/b, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70), compared with the PBS group(P<0.05). The results of sex hormone residues showed that therewere residues of estradiol (E2) and testosterone (TSTO) in sex-differentiated IgG samples and IVIg products. The experimental results of IVIg and sex hormone/sex hormone receptor blockers showed that residual E2 may promote the secretion of IL-6 by DC, which may be achieved through the E2 receptor ERb. 【Conclusion】 There are differences in the effect of IgG samples prepared from combined plasma with different sex ratios on the secretion of cytokines by DC, which may be related to the residual E2 in the products. The residual sex hormones in IVIg may promote the production and secretion of IL-6 through the sex hormone receptor ERb expressed in DC, and TSTO may have a collaboration effect to enhance the secretion-promoting effect of IL-6 by E2. This study provides a theoretical basis for whether sex hormone residues need to be considered in the quality control indicators of IVIg products.
