To evaluate the application of nueroelectrophysiological tests in early diagnosis of sub-clinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus (DM), The routine nerve conductive velocity (NCV), F-wave and sympathetic skin response (SSR) were detected in 27 patients with diabetes mellitus but without symptoms and signs of lesions of nerve system. Our results showed that 48.1%, 44.4%, 51.9% of the patients were found to have abnormal NCV, F-wave and SSR respectively. The abnormalities were mainly characterized by prolonged latency, reduced velocity and absence of wave-form. There were significant differences between the controls and the DM group (P < 0.05). Both the distal and proximal segments of nerves were affected and the distal lesions took place earlier than proximal ones and the changes in low extremities were more severe than those of upper extremities. F-wave can be used as a sensitive indicator for the early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and it can help to detect the subclincial lesions. SSR can be used for the evaluation of functional status of autonomic nerves in DM patients.

Objective To investigate the expression level of RECK-mRNA and MMP-9-mRNA in breast cancer(BC) and fibroadenoma tissues and its significance.Methods The mRNA level of tissues of 39 cases of breast cancer and 14 cases of fibroadenoma was measured by RT-PCR technique and its correlation was analyzed.Results The mRNA level of RECK gene in breast cancer tissues was markedly lower than that in fibroadenoma tissues,while the MMP-9 level was higher in BC tissues.Conclusions RECK is a tumor suppressor gene, the expression in benign and malignant breast tissues is a negative relationship.BECK can inhibit the expression of MMP-9 and thus,inhibit the growth and metastasis of breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the factors that influence joint function after plate fixation of unstable pelvic fractures.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 109 patients with unstable pelvic fracture who had been treated with plate fixation from January 2007 to September 2014.They were 69 men and 40 women,23 to 72 years of age (average,46.3 years).By the Tile classification,15 cases were type B1,37 type B2,14 type B3,19 type C1,16 type C2,and 8 type C3.Their postoperative joint function was evaluated according to the Majeed criteria for functional evaluation.There were 86 cases in the good-to-excellent group (78.9％) and 23 in the fair-to-poor group (21.1％).Their data were analyzed in terms of gender,age,preoperative injury severity scale (ISS),body mass index (BMI),operation time,fracture type,reduction quality,postoperative complications,bone density,and postoperative weight bearing time.The influential factors were determined using Logistic regression analysis.Results All the 109 patients obtained a mean follow-up of 18.7 months (from 12 to 53 months).Preoperative ISS (P =0.000),fracture type (P =0.008),reduction quality (P =0.009) and postoperative complications (P =0.000) were identified as the factors influencing joint function after plate fixation of unstable pelvic fractures.Conclusion Preoperative assessment by ISS,a clear understanding of the pelvic fracture type,anatomical reduction of the fracture and efforts to reduce postoperative complications can effectively improve functional recovery of the joint after plate fixation of unstable pelvic fractures.

Objective To investigate the immunoregulatory effects of bone marrow-derived mesenehy-real stem ceils (BMSCs) combined with leflunomide (LEF) on mice T-lymphocytes in vitro. Methods BMSCs from BALB/c mice were isolated and expanded. The purity of BMSCs was identified by flow cytometry (FCM). The BALB/c mice's spleen lymphocytes were isolated by using EZ-Sep<'TM> Mouse 1X. Under ConA stimulation, spleen lymphocytes were pretreated with LEF, then washed and co-cuhured with BMSCs. We set up four groups to investigate in this study: group A, spleen lymphocytes alone; group B, spleen lymphocytes with BM- SCs; group C, LEF-pretreated spleen lymphocytes alone and the group D, LEF-pretreated spleen lymphocytes with BMSCs. T-lymphocytes proliferation was assessed by MTT. FCM was used to analysis T-lymphocytes apoptosis and surface markers of CD69 and CD28. The mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-10 were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Results In vitro, the T-lymphocytes'values of A570 nm were significantly lower in group B and group C, compared with group A (group B vs group C vs group A, 0.578±0.042 vs 0.502± 0.040 vs 0.778±0.035, P<0.01), while the value of A<,570 nm>in group D was 0.218±0.033, which was also obviously lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). There were no suppressing effects on T-lympho-cytes'activation and expression of IL-2 had been observed. The proportion of apoptotic T-lymphocytes in group B and group D were (2.29±0.32)％ and (4.22±0.98)％, which was significandy lower than that in group A (8.08±1.20) (P<0.01). The expression of IL-10 in group B and C were also lower than that in group A (group B vs group C vs group A, 0.098±0.039 vs 0.054±0.022 vs 1.000, P<0.01 ). Either, the expression of IL-10 in group D was 0.023±0.015, which was obviously lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). Conclusion BMSCs combined with LEF show synergistic immunoregulatary effects on mice's T-lymphoeytes.

OBJECTIVE: To study the assistant effect of Scutellaria barbata extract (ESB) in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy. METHODS: A mouse model of transplanted hepatoma H22 was used in this study to evaluate the synergic and attenuating effects of ESB in chemotherapy. Tumor inhibition rate, life span of mice and the toxicity of chemotherapy were observed. The body weight, tumor weight, thymus index and spleen index in H22-bearing mice were also measured. The phagocytotic function of macrophages was studied by observing phagocytization of peritoneal macrophages. RESULTS: The increase of body weight in 5-FU plus ESB groups was higher than that in 5-FU group, and the side effects such as anorexia, abdominal distention and athrepsy were relieved. Compared with untreated group, prolonged lifetime in 5-FU plus high-dose ESB group and 5-FU plus low-dose ESB group was improved. Life prolongation rates in 5-FU plus high-dose ESB group and 5-FU plus low-dose ESB group were 61.46% and 23.59% respectively. High-dose ESB, 5-FU, 5-FU plus low-dose ESB and 5-FU plus high-dose ESB could inhibit the tumor growth, and the tumor inhibition rates were 36.98%, 42.26%, 52.45% and 65.28%, respectively. Thymus index and spleen index were increased significantly in 5-FU plus low-dose ESB group and 5-FU plus high-dose ESB group. White blood cell (WBC) count was decreased obviously in 5-FU group, while the count of WBC was increased in 5-FU plus low-dose ESB group and 5-FU plus high-dose ESB group. The phagocytotic function of macrophages was also increased in 5-FU plus low-dose ESB group and 5-FU plus high-dose ESB group. CONCLUSION: ESB can enhance the effect of chemotherapy, relieve the side effects and improve immune function of mice in chemotherapy. These results suggest that ESB, as a biochemical modulator to enhance the therapeutic effects, is useful in cancer chemotherapy.
