1.Analysis about the relationship between the procedure of type2 diabetes and the liver in TCM
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2011;33(6):524-526
From the perspective of modern medicine, we analyzed the relationship between procedure of diabetes and the hepatic physiological functions as well as pathological mechanisms. Liver dysfunction played a key role in each stage of type 2 diabetes. It's the basis for disorders of nervous, endocrine and immune systems. Using TCM methods to protect the liver can be useful to interfere the development of diabetes and achieve sound therapeutic effects.
2.Feeding intolerance in preterm infants
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;(4):385-388
Feeding intolerance in preterm infants,which is an important issue that the neonatal pediatri-cians have to work out,leads to malnutrition of early preterm infants and growth restriction which have an impact on later behavioral and cognitive outcomes. Feeding intolerance is related to the immature of gastrointestinal function,perinatal asphyxia,infection and other diseases. Minimal enteral feeding,prokinetic agents and supple-mentation of the enteral probiotics,are used generally,but at present there is no guidelines for the prevention and treatment.

Objective To determine the prevalence of pain beyond the osteoporotic vertebral com-pression fracture (OVCF) in patients undergoing percutaneous vertebral augmentation and the response of pain to the treatment. Methods A retrospective study of 104 patients undergoing percutaneous vertebral augmentation (pereutaneous vertebroplasty and pereutaneous kyphoplasty) was performed to examine the lo-cations and severities of pain beyond the OVCF before and after operation. The Visual Analog Sscale (VAS,10-point scale) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL, 5-point scale) were used. Results Of the 104 patients, 48 (46.2%) suffered pain beyond the OVCF. The pain was firstly located in the sacrococeygeal region and buttocks (26.0%), secondly in the abdomen and sub-xiphoid process (10.6%) and thirdly in the flank, ribs and chest (9.6%) . For all the cases, the mean VAS score decreased from 8.9±0. 8 before vertebral augmentation to 2.9±1.4 after augmentation (t=37.410, P=0.000), and the mean ADL score decreased from 4.1±0.6 before operation to 2.0±0.7 after operation (t=25.331, P =0.000) . For the patients suffering pain beyond the OVCF, the mean VAS score decreased from 8.8±0.9 before vertebral augmentation to 2.8±1.5 after augmentation (t=23.722, P=0.000), and the mean ADL score decreased from 4.2±0.7 before operation to 2.0±0. 7 after operation (t=15.373, P=0.000). The decreases in VAS and ADL scores were not affected by the pain. Conclusion The pereutaneous vertebral augmentation can effectively relieve the pain beyond the OVCF.

Objective To explore molecular mechanisms underlying the in vitro counteracting effect of curcumin on malignant melanoma.Methods Cultured A375 and C8161 human melanoma cells were cultivated in vitro,and randomly divided into several test groups and a control group to be treated with different concentrations of curcumin and dimethyl sulfoxide respectively for different durations.Then,methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay,Transwell assay,flow cytometry and Western blot were performed to evaluate the effect of curcumin on the proliferation,invasion and cell cycle of,as well as expressions of AKT/mTOR signaling pathway-related proteins in A375 and C8161 cells respectively.Statistical analysis was carried out by using t test.Results MTT assay showed that the treatment with curcumin of 5-35 mg/L for 24-96 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of both A375 and C8161 cells compared with that with dimethyl sulfoxide (all P < 0.001),and the inhibitory effect was in a dose-dependent manner within the range of 5-15 mg/L for A375 cells and within the range of 5-10 mg/L for C8161 cells,and in a time-dependent manner from 0 to 48 hours for both cells.After treatment for 24 hours,the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of curcumin against A375 cells and C 8161 cells was 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively.Transwell assay demonstrated that the invasion of A375 and C8161 cells was significantly suppressed by 72-hour treatment with curcumin at 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively (both P < 0.001).Flow cytometry showed that the cell cycle of A375 and C8161 cells was arrested at G2/M phase after 24-hour treatment with curcumin at 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L respectively,with significant differences in the proportion of A375 cells and C8161 cells in G2/M phase between the test group and control group (A375 cells:35.00% ± 3.54% vs.120.80% ± 7.46%,P< 0.001;C8161 cells:19.33% ± 4.04% vs.85.00% ± 9.53%,P < 0.001).Western blot revealed that the expressions of AKT/mTOR signaling pathway-related proteins were decreased in A375 and C8161 cells after 24-hour treatment with 10 mg/L and 5 mg/L curcumin respectively.Conclusion Curcumin can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of A375 and C8161 cells,likely by blocking cell cycle and inhibiting activation of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:The outcomes of SL-Plus? stem in primary total hip arthroplasty have been proved good, but whether SLR-Plus? revision stem can obtain a good outcome in revision hip arthroplasty needs more studies. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical results of revision hip arthroplasty with Zweymül er SLR-plus ? stem. METHODS:Revision hip arthroplasty of 41 hips in 39 patients was performed from November 1997 to May 2013 using SLR-plus ? stem. There were 26 hips (male) and 15 hips (female). They were at the age of 34-73 years old, 53 on average. In the 41 hips, 36 cemented and 5 uncemented femoral prostheses were used. Prosthetic changes on radiographs were observed. In accordance with Brooker classification, heterotopic ossification was classified to record the region and incidence of heterotopic ossification. Hip joint function was evaluated using Harris Hip Score, and survival rate of the prosthesis was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 31 patients (33 hips) were fol owed up for 1 to 16 years. The mean preoperative Harris hip score of 34 (range, 13-64) points improved to 85 (range, 55-94) points at the time of final fol ow-up. 32 hips (97%) had an excellent result. A 1 mm width radiolucent line was found in 1 femoral component without any symptom. Osteolysis and migration were seen in 1 hip, which needed re-revision. Heterotopic ossification developed in 9 hips, including 2 hips of Brooker grade 1, 4 hips of grade 2 and 3 hips of grade 3. No re-infection was found. Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 92%with radiographic loosening as the end point. Results demonstrated that the SLR-Plus? stem has sufficient immediate and long-term stability, which is reliable for patients undergoing hip revision surgery.
