Objective To investigate the possibility of human gastric carcinoma cells apoptosis induced by arsenic trioxide and its mechanism.Methods After treatment with arsenic trioxide, the cytotoxicity to human gastric carcinoma cells MKN45 was quantified using trypan blue exclusion, and IC 50 was determined. Apoptotic cells were detected with flow cytometry, DNA cytofluorometry, DNA electrophoresis. Results Arsenic trioxide inhibited the growth of human gastric carcinoma cells MKN45 in a dose-dependent manner in a certain range of dose with a IC 50 of (11.05?0.25)?mol/L; Apoptotic peak, characteristic morphologic features of apoptosis and DNA ladder were observed in human gastric carcinoma cells MKN45 treated with 1~10 ?mol/L arsenic trioxide. Conclusions Arsenic trioxide can induce apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cells MKN45, suggesting a great potential in the treatment of gastric carcinoma.

Objective 　To investigate the factors associated with long-term efficacy of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm. Methods　253 cases of hemifacial spasm treated with microvascular decompression were followed 13 to 144 months (mean 73 months). Results　Hemifacial spasms were obliterated in 232 cases (91.7%) and were partially relieved in 10 cases (4%). However, hemifacial spasm recurred 11 cases (4.3%). We re-operated on those who had recurrent hemifacial spasm and found that the material used for previous decompression had moved. The movement of decompression material could be the cause of spasm recurrence. Conclusions　Upholding of depression material around the blood vessels against movement near the facial nerve plays an important role for improving the long-term efficacy of MVD for hemifacial spasm.

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels (hUC-MSCs) can obviously relieve liver cirrhosis, and thereby repair liver injury. However, the molecular mechanism of hUC-MSCs therapy for liver cirrhosis is limited at present, and especialy the non-coding RNA regulation of hepatic gene changes has not been detailed. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the changes of microRNA after hUC-MSCs therapy in rats with liver cirrhosis. METHODS:Liver cirrhosis models were established in rats using carbon tetrachloride subcutaneous injection plus oral administration of alcohol. At 8 weeks after modeling, hUC-MSCs were injectedvia the tail vein once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. At 1 week after the last injection, rat liver tissues were colected for paraffin embedding. Liver RNA was extracted for gene chip analysis. Blood samples were colected and analyzed using an automatic biochemical analyzer to detect the changes of liver function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were improved significantly after hUC-MSCs therapy. Fat lesions and necrosis of hepatocytes were significantly reduced. MicroRNA expression microarray hybridization analysis and PCR results showed that rno-miR-369-5p, rno-miR-3584-5p and rno-miR-153* were down-regulated during modeling and increased after hUC-MSCs therapy. And rno-miR-93, rno-miR-199a-3p, rno-miR-195, rno-let-7a and rno-miR-19a were firstly up-regulated in the process of modeling and then down-regulated obviously after hUC-MSCs therapy. These results suggest that hUC-MSCs may reverse liver cirrhosis and liver cel damage through up-regulation of rno-miR-369-5p, rno-miR-3584-5p and rno-miR-153*, and down-regulation of rno-miR-93, rno-miR-199a-3p, rno-miR-195, rno-let-7a and rno-miR-19a.

Objective To establish allergic rhinitis(AR) model in rats to observe the changes in IL-5,IL-12 and IL-18 in serum of AR rats,and explore the influence of glucocorticoid on IL-5,IL-12 and IL-18 expression,and to elucidate further the pathogenesis of AR and the mechanism of glucocorticoid.Methods Thirty-six rats were divided into three groups:normal control(NC) group,AR group and dexamethasone intervention(Dex) group(12 each).Animals in AR and Dex group were sensitized with egg albumin,and in NC group were treated with normal saline as control.After sensitization and reproduction of AR model,rats in AR group received no treatment,while those in Dex group were treated with dexamethasone(5mg/kg,once a day) for 5 days.The changes in behavior was examined,and pathology of nasal mucosa were observed with HE staining,and the expressions of IL-5,IL-12 and IL-18 in serum were determined with ELISA.Results Compared with NC group,the frequency of sneesing and nose-scratching,and the expressions of IL-5 and IL-18 were increased obviously(P

Objective To research the physiology of visual cortex activated by rotating grating with functional-MRI(fMRI), and to identify the components of the activation. Methods Functional MRI was performed in 9 healthy volunteers by using GRE-EPI sequences on a 1.5 T MR scanner. In the block designing, rotating grating, static grating, and luminance were plotted as task states, while static grating, luminance, and darkness were set as control states. The stimuli tasks included six steps. Imaging processing and statistical analysis was carried out off-line using SPM99 in single-subject method. Results Some respective areas of visual cortex were activated by the various stimuli information supplied by rotating grating. The strong activation in the middle of occipital lobe located at primary vision area was related to the stimuli of white luminance. Its average maximum points were at 13,-98,-2 and 11, -100,-4. The bilateral activations of Brodmann 19th area located at MT area were related to visual motion perception. Its average maximum points were at 46,-72,-2 and -44,-74, 0. The mild activation in the middle of occipital lobe was related to form perception. Its average maximum points were at -12,-98,-6 and -16,-96, (-6.) Conclusion The plotting of control state is important in bock design. The effective visual information of rotating grating includes components of luminance, visual motion perception, and form perception. FMRI has potential as a tool for studying the basic physiology of visual cortex.

Objective To evaluate the of the decision process to perform staged or synchronous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) in the treatment of bilateral upper urinary tract calculi. Methods Patients with an indication for bilateral PCNL were enrolled in the study from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2008. The decision to perform staged or synchronous bilateral PCNL was based on the initial side operative time, the changes of hemoglobin level and systolic arterial pressure, the results of blood gas analysis and the patient′s tolerance at the end of initial side operation. The patients were divided into two groups, patients who underwent synchronous bilateral PCNL were in group one. Patients where the PCNL procedure was stopped after the initial side and subsequently underwent staged bilateral PCNL three to six weeks later were placed in group two. The success and complication rates of two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Of 60 planned simultaneous bilateral PCNLs, nine were stopped after the initial side, due to prolonged operative time in four cases, a hemoglobin level ＜100 g/L or the decrease of more than 30 g/L in three cases, a systolic arterial pressure lower than 90 mm Hg or the decrease more than 30 mm Hg in two cases, an arterial blood pH lower than 7.35 or the arterial oxygen saturation lower than 95% in two cases or the patients were intolerant to the surgery in three cases. Between the two groups, the differences of patient gender, age, BMI, preoperative hemoglobin level, the total hemoglobin decrease, the side initiated operation, stone number and second side stone burden were insignificant. However, there were significant differences in the first operative side stone burden, total stone burden, the first operative side operative time and total operative time. The stone-clearance rate was 87.3% in group one and 88.9% in group two. There was no difference in complication rate of two groups. Conclusions Prolonged operative time, large blood loss during the first operation side and patient intolerance are the main causes of staged bilateral PCNL.

ObjectiveTo explore the best treatment method of cerebral artery dissection.Methods This study included eight patients who were definitely diagnosed as cerebral artery dissection by the cerebral angiography in our department of neurology during Oct.2009 and Nov.2011.They were all treated by the anticoagulation or anti-platelet methods.Some patients received the stent therapy.All patients' were followed for at least three months. The treatment effect was assessed by NIHSS,mRS and by the cerebral angiography.ResultsSix patients had carotid artery dissection,2 had vertebral artery dissection.Four patients were given anticoagulant therapy and the other 4 were given anti-platelet therapy. The reexamination by angiography 10-14 days after admission showed that in 3 patients,the stenosis was aggravated or the infarction occurred.They were diagnosed as having repeated transient ischemic attack (TIA) during pharmacotherapy and received stents for treatment.There was no TIA and cerebral infarction in the follow-up period after individualized therapy.Mean NIHSS scores of 8 patients between pre and post treatment were 5.9,1.6 respectively. Mean mRS scores pre and post treatment were 2.5,0.9respectively.Conclusion The treatment for patients with cerebral artery dissection should be individuated.The patients in acute stage should get anticoagulation,anti-platelet therapy and angiography re-examination.According to the clinical manifestation and cerebral angiography,the next step for the treatment should be done.

Objective To discuss the safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy (SBPCNL) for bilateral renal or upper ureteral calculi. Methods Forty-eight cases (26 males, 22 females, 24-57 years )who underwent SBPCNL with pneumatic and ultrasonic power for bilateral renal or upper ureteral calculi were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data including opera-tion time, blood loss, transfusion rates, length of hospital stay, stone free rate and complications were analyzed. Results The percutaneous renal access was successfully established under ultrasonic guid-ance in all patients. The average operation time was(105±18) rain(range 80-190 min). The average drop in hemoglobin was 21 g/L (range 5-54 g/L), with 5 patients requiring blood transfusion. In 43 patients, a single stage was performed on both sides, while 5 required the second stage PCNL on one side. A single tract was adopted on both sides in 44 patients, while 4 cases of the patients required two tracts on one side. No one required two tracts on both sides or more than one stage on both sides. The stone-clearance rate was 87.5 %. The average hospital stay was 6.5 d. There was no severe complica-tion occurred. Conclusion SBPCNL might be safe and effective for bilateral renal or upper ureteral calculi for selected patients.
