Objective To investigate the differentiation of HL-60 cells induced by different doses of Purerarin(PR) comparing with all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)and to see if PR can induce apoptosis of HL-60 cells. Methods Cell differentiation was analyzed by NBT reduction, the ratio of NBT/MTT and CD11b ,apoptosis by morphology, DNA electrophoresis, and flow cytometry(FCM). Results 80 μg.ml-1, 160 μg.ml-1, 320 μg.ml-1 PR could induce differentiation of HL-60 cells, no significant difference was observed between the cells treated with 1 μmol.L-1 ATRA and 320 μg.ml-1 PR. Treated with 320 μg.ml-1, 640 μg.ml-1PR, HL-60 cells exhibited a morphological characteristic of apoptosis and typical DNA ladder on gel electrophoresis. FCM analysis showed that PR could interfere with cell cycle in HL-60 cells, with a increased ratio of sub-G1 in HL-60 cells. Conclusion PR exerts effect on differentiation and induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells.

Objective To investigate the reversal effect and the mechanism of sodium norcantharidate(SNCTD)on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP. Methods CKK assay was used to screen out non-toxic concentration (less than 10 percent of cell inhibition ratio) of SNCTD, and to measure the IC50 of cisplatin and IC50 of innoxious concentration SNCTD plus cisplatin in drug-resistant cell line. The accumulation effect of Rh123 was assayed by flow cytometry after treatment with non-toxic concentration of SNCTD. PT-PCR was used to detect the expression of mdr1, MRP1 gene for the drug-resistant cell line treated with non-toxic concentration of SNCTD for 48h. Results (1)The non-toxic concentration of SNCTD was 5μg/ml. SNCTD could decrease drug resistance to cisplatin. The reversal fold was 1.97. (2)The fluorescence intensity of Rh123 in the cells treated with 5μg/ml SNCTD was obviously increased (F=36.99, P<0.05). (3)The expressions of mdr1, MRP1 gene decreased significantly in a concentration-dependent manner.Conclusions SNCTD could reverse the resistance to cisplatin in A549/DDP cell line. It possibly downregulates the expression of mdr1, MRP1 gene, and inhibits the function of efflux pump of membrance protein.

Objective To improve the knowledge of X-ray findings of heart and lung in chronic renal failure ( CRF ) . Methods X-ray findings of heart and lung in 120 cases with CRF were analysed retrospectively.Results The X-ray appearances of lung and heart in CRF included augment and blur of hilum, increased, tortuous and disorder lung markings, accretion of heart, and the abnormal shadows in lung were irregular, inhomogeneus and changing fast in morphology. Conclusion Radiography can supply valuable messages and is ofconsiderable value in the diagnosis of CRF.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the curative effects of nanometer silver dressing and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel on burn residual wounds.METHODS: Forty burn patients with residual wounds because of deep second degree burn and full-thickness burn, were randomly divided into control group and management group. There were 20 patients in both groups. The patients of management group were treated by nanometer silver dressing and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel. The patients of control group were treated by saline and paraffin absorbent gauze. Healing time, wound healing rates at different time points,cases of infected wound and results of bacterial culture before and 7 days following treatment, and drug adverse reaction were recorded.RESULTS: The healing time of management group was significantly shorter than the control group (P < 0.01). The wound healing rates of management group was significantly higher than the control group at different time points (P< 0.01). The cases of infected wound was significantly fewer than the control group after treating (P < 0.01). The pathogenic bacteria detection rate was significantly lower than the control group after 7 days (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: There was better antibacterial activity, decurtating the healing time when the management of nanometer silver dressing and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor gel on burn residual wounds were put into practice.

This study is to investigate the influence and mechanism of action of asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) and the induced oxidative stress level on Alzheimer's disease (AD) incidence. ADMA concentration, nitric oxide, Abeta(40)/Abeta(42) ratio, inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activity and the concentrations of the induced free radicals including malondialdehyde (MDA), 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 34 neurologically normal controls and 37 AD patients were quantitatively determined and statistically compared. The results showed that the ADMA concentration significantly decreased in AD patients, and it showed negative correlation with the NO, iNOS activity, and showed positive correlation with MMSE score. ADMA concentration was negatively correlated with Abeta(40)/Abeta(42) ratio (P<0.01) with the observation that Abeta(40)/Abeta(42) ratio increased while ADMA level decreased in CSF in AD patients. The concentration levels of MDA, 3-NT and ROS significantly increased compared with the control with all the P values less than 0.05. These findings suggested that the ADMA disorder and the oxidative damage effect of the induced free radicals in CSF of AD patients are an important mechanism of AD incidence, and their joint regulation may provide new idea for the prevention and clinical treatment of AD.

Objective To describe the vaccine inoculation rate of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and the movement characteristics of rural population in the Xi'an epidemic area.Methods This was a cross-sectional study.The study covered all the four HFRS traditional high incidence areas (counties):Zhouzhi,Huxian,Chang'an and Lintong.Three villages were selected in each county and 20 households were selected in each village in 2013.Participants included all the persons of these families.People 16-60 years old were interviewed face to face about their sociodemographic and environmental information,and at the same time related HFRS vaccine history and characters of migrant workers were collected.Results Nine hundred and ninety-six persons were investigated,69.3 percent (690/996) were vaccinate-age population.Of all,49.0 percent (338/690) had HFRS vaccine history and 53.9 percent (372/690) had worked away from home most of the year.The inoculation proportion of workers which worked in their own counties (56.8%,67/118) were higher than that of workers worked outside (37.0%,60/162;39.1%,36/92,x2 =10.74,6.44,all P < 0.017).In the workers that went back home every week,60.3 percent (76/126) had vaccinated.Workers that went back home once a year had the lowest proportion of inoculation (16.7%,7/42).The morbidity of HFRS decreased significantly accompany with ascend of inoculation rate (Y =-0.524X + 38.319,t =-4.581,P < 0.05).Conclusions After the free vaccinations,there is still a gap between the vaccine inoculation rate and prevention benefit.The current vaccination strategies need to be adjusted.

Objective To sum up the experience of position nursing of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and severe kyphosis. Methods Eleven patients with ankylosing spondylitis and severe kyphosis underwent surgery. The patients′spine and head were kept in a line during anesthesia to avoid spinal cord injury. The eye mask was used to make sure the eyelid close, so the bulbar conjunctiva and corneal did become dry. The angle of operation bed in time during operation was adjusted. The crushed area was observed and the position was changed to avoid pressure sores and edema. After surgery, they were keep inactive to make sure the spine stable and relieve the pressure. Results The 11 patients′surgery were successful. There were no pressure ulcer, fracture, spinal cord injury or eye injury occurs. The operation time was 9.3 ± 2.9 h. Conclusion Position nursing is very important to improve the success rate of surgery and reduce complications.
