Objective To investigate the effects of nimesulide, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, on human cholangiocarcinoma QBC939 cell line in vitro. Methods The effects of nimesulide on QBC939 cells were observed with the following techniques: the influence of nimesulide on the proliferation of QBC939 cells was determined by MTT assay; the apoptosis of QBC939 cells was viewed and measured by transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry, respectively; the expressions of proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and COX-2 of cholangiocarcinoma cells were detected by immunocytochemistry. Results Nimesulide inhibited the expressions of PCNA and COX-2 and the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma QBC939 cells, whose effects intensified as the dose increased and time elongated. Flow cytometry showed that the apoptotic rates of QBC939 cells increased significantly as the dose of nimesulide increased. The typical morphologic features of apoptosis were also observed by transmission electron microscopy. Conclusion Nimesulide significantly inhibits the proliferation of QBC939 cells in vitro by inducting cell apoptosis, which may be associated with the downregulation of COX-2 expression, and it also presents the features of dose and time dependents.

Objective To investigate the effect of a selective inhibitor of COX-2 nimesulide on growth and apoptosis of human cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 in vitro. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the influence of nimesulide on the proliferation of QBC939 cells, apoptosis of QBC939 was measured by transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry.Expression of apoptosis related genes mRNA and bcl-2 ,bax, survivin were detected by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Results Nimesulide effects a dose-dependent and time-dependent growth inhibition on QBC939 cells. High concentration of nimesulide (200 ?mol/L) not only inhibits the growth of QBC939 cells but also induces apoptosis cell nuclear condensation and apoptotic bodies were seen by transmission electron microscopy. Immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR shows upregulation of bax and down regulation of bcl-2 and survivin. Conclusion Nimesulide significantly inhibits the proliferation of QBC939 in vitro by induction of apoptosis in a dose- and time- dependent manner.

Objective To study the effect of pulse pressure(PP)/mean artery pressure(MAP) ratio in evaluating arteriosclerosis.Methods Blood pressures from 200 subjects without cerebrovascular nor cardiovascular disease were obtained and analyzed by different age groups.PP/MAP ratio was calculated for each patient and compared.Results PP/MAP ratio was significantly different in different age groups.Conclusion PP/MAP ratio has clinical significance in evaluating arteriosclerosis and is worthy of further investigation.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and side effect of prourokinase (Pro-uk) on the patients with acute myocardial infarction. Method From May 2004 to May 2005, a total of 68 cases of acute myocardial infarction treated by thrombolytic agents within 6 hours after onset were divided randomly into Pro-uk group ( n = 43) and urokinase (UK) group ( re = 25). In the Pro- uk group, there were 22 eases treated with 50 mg Pro-uk and 21 cases prescribed in 60 mg Pro-uk. The patency of involved coronary artery was evaluated by using selective coronary angiography at 90 minutes after thrombolytic therapy. The incidence of early heart events, bleeding and adverse reaction, were alse observed. Results (1) The total rates of resumed patency of obstructed coronary artery (TIMI grade 2 and 3 flow) were 76.7% in Pro-uk treated patients and 52.2% in UK treated patient ( P = 0. 041). (2) The occurrence of hyporrhea was lowered more significantly in Pro-uk treated patients than in UK treated patients (P = 0.029), but there were no intracranial hemorrhage found in both group. (3) Early cardiac events and adverse reactions were similar between two groups. Conclusions Pro-UK is safe and effective for the patients with acute myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of ibuprofen sustained release capsules in healthy volunteers for evaluating the bioequi valency .METHODS: 20 healthy volunteers took a single dose(600mg) of ibuprofen sustained release capsules and fenbid capsules(as reference drug) alternatively, then the plasma concentrations of ibuprofen were determined by HPLC.The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with 3p87 pharmacokinetic program and the bioequivalence was calculated .RESULTS: The pharmacokinetic parameters of ibuprofen sustained release capsule and fenbid capsule wereT1/2= (2.88+ 0.25)h, (2.91 + 0.33)h;Cmax = (30.66+ 4.21)mg/L, (29.09+3.54)mg/L;Tmax = (4.4 + 0.52)h, (4.3+0.48)h;AUCo-1, = (174.26+13.95)mg/(h . L), (165.80+ 11.89)mg/(h ?L) ;C = (16.25+ 1.47)mg/L, (15.63+1.83) mg/L; Cmin= (1.36 + 0.56) mg/L, (1.24 + 0.46) mg/ L; FI = (1.83 + 0.07), (1.84 + 0.06) .The relative bioavailability of ibuprofen sustained release capsule was( 105.10 + 7.77) % .CONCLUSION: Ibuprofen sustained release capsule and fenbid (reference drug) were bioequivalent.

Objective To estimate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among the retired staffs of a petrochemical corporation in Ningbo. Methods The 1709 retired staffs at 60 years of age and over were enrolled in the census. Their medical history were investigated by questionnaires,and blood samples were collected for thyroid function detection. Results In this elderly cohort, the morbidity of diagnosed thyroid diseases was 3.8% (65/1709), with 6.7% (39/584) in females and 2. 3% (26/ 1125) in males. The morbidity of unrecognized thyroid dysfunctions was 6.7% (110/1644), with 9.7% (53/545) in females and 5.2% (57/1099) in males. The prevalence of total thyroid dysfunctions was 10. 2%(175/1709), with 15.8% (92/584) in females and 7.4% (83/1125) in males. Subclinical hypothyroidism accounted for 87. 3% of unrecognized thyroid dysfunctions. Conclusions The prevalence of thyroid dysfunctions is over 10. 2% in the elderly retired staffs of the petrochemical corporation in Ningbo. Subclinical hypothyroidism is the most popular form in all kinds of unrecognized thyroid functional disorders, and its prevalence is higher in females than in males.

quamous metaplasia occurred, the expression of occludin and ZO-1 in cells were similar to those in control group, which might play a role in the defense function of neovaginal mucosa.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Chushi Huowei Decoction in treating inflammation of gastric relict of spleen-stomach damp heat type. Methods Totally 62 patients with inflammation of gastric relict were divided into treatment group and control group with random number table, 31 patients in each group. The control group was given hydrotalcite and the treatment group was treated by adding of Chushi Huowei Decoction. After eight-week treatment, the clinical efficacy, gastric mucosal lesions efficacy, and gastric mucosal pathology efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results Eight-weeks later, traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores of both groups were obviously lower than those before treatment (P<0.01). And the decrease in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group (P<0.01). Curative effects of gastric mucosal lesions and pathologic condition in treatment group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Neither groups had any adverse reaction. Conclusion Chushi Huowei Decoction has reliable therapeutic effect and safety in treating inflammation of gastric relict of spleen-stomach damp heat type.

Objective To evaluate the effect of chest backplate in treating multiple rib fractures in patients with focal abnormal breathing.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with multiple rib fractures and focal abnormal breathing who were treated by Chrisofix chest backplate were analyzed.Results Thirtyfour patients were cured by chest backplate and other conservative treatments,and 2 patients underwent rib internal fixation surgery.The numeric rating scales scores before and after the application of the chest backplate were (8.1 ± 0.7) scores and (5.2 ± 0.5) scores respectively(P ＜ 0.01).Seven patients had skin blisters forming around the shield,which were cured by liquid extraction with a syringe and gauze covered with povidone iodine.No patients stopped treatment because of allergy.Conclusions Chest backplate is an effective,easy and inexpensive method for patient with multiple rib fractures and focal abnormal breathing who doesn't need exploratory thoracotomy.It is worthy to spread in clinical treatment.
