Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic and prognosis of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs( NSAIDs)and aspirin associated peptic ulcer bleeding. Method All patients with peptic ulcer bleeding were studied by the same researcher after admission and discharge. Results Fifty-one cases with NSAIDs and aspirin medication of the total peptic ulcer bleeding patients ( 147 cases) were included (34. 7% ). Compared with patients not associated with NSAIDs and aspirin medication, they are older [(41.2 ± 1. 9 ) years vs ( 59.4 ± 2. 2 ) years, P ＜ 0. 001], more commonly associated with hypertension ( 10. 4% vs 39. 2% ,P ＜0. 001 ), coronary heart disease ( 10. 4% vs 17.6% ,P ＜0. 001 ) ,diabetes (4. 2%vs 19. 6%, P = 0. 005 ); and had more severe anemia (7. 3% vs 23. 5%, P = 0. 008 ). Fewer patients in NSAIDs group had epigastric pain (61.5% vs 27.5%, P ＜ 0. 001 ), while there was more re-bleeding (9.4% vs 15.7%, P = 0.034). In all bleeding patients, factors associated with re-bleeding, surgical intervention and death included NSAIDs and aspirin medication, and low platelet count. In patients with NSAIDs and aspirin medication, re-bleeding was associated with previous ulcer history ( P ＜ 0. 05 ).Conclusion Peptic ulcer bleeding patients with NSAIDs and aspirin medication were more severe ill, and less likely to present with epigastric pain.

Objective The change of thyroid hormones affects male sexual function, but the underlying physiological mechanism is not yet clear.The aim of this study was to explore the association of thyroid hormones with abnormal penile neuro-electrophysiology in patients with premature ejaculation (PE).Methods This retrospective study included 52 acquired PE (APE) patients aged 35.36 ± 8.39 years and 24 healthy males aged 32.87±7.45 years.We measured the levels of thyroid hormones in all the subjects and, based on the latency time of penile sympathetic skin responses (PSSR), classified the APE patients into a normal (n=31) and an abnormal PSSR type (n=31).Results The concentration of total tetraiodothyronine (TT4) in the serum was significantly higher in the APE patients than in the normal control ([102.81±18.37] vs [92.68±11.56] nmol/L, P=0.018).The levels of serum TT4 and free tetraiodothyronine (FT4) were both markedly increased in the APE patients of the abnormal PSSR type as compared with those of the normal PSSR type ([113.28±20.89] vs [95.72±12.42] nmol/L, P<0.001 and [12.02±0.88] vs [10.81±1.63] nmol/L, P=0.003).The FT4 concentration was correlated negatively with the latency time of PSSR (r=-0.363, P=0.008) and positively with the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) scores (r=0.455, P=0.001).Conclusion Abnormal PSSR may be associated with elevated levels of thyroid hormones in APE patients, and regulation of thyroid hormone levels may help improve the symptoms of PE with abnormal PSSR.

Objective To compare the different methods for treating aerobic vaginitis and mixed clinical effects of infection.Methods A randomized controlled method was used,298 cases of aerobic vaginitis and mixed infections were randomly divided into control group(149 cases):the use of combination anti -infective therapy,the treatment group(149 cases):the use of combination anti -infective at the same treatment plus lactobacillus vaginal medication.And the therapeutic effect was evaluated.Results The difference of the clinical efficacy of aerobic vagi-nitis treatment of mixed infections was not statistically significant (total effective rate of 95.3% in the treatment group,92.6% in the control group).With the time of treatment extended,the effective rate increased,the use of com-bination anti -infective therapy at the same time plus lactobacillus vaginal administration group of aerobic bacteria vaginosis and recurrence rate was significantly reduced in patients with mixed infection (recurrence rate was 6.0% in the treatment group and 12.8% was in the control group,χ2 =3.941 3,P <0.05).Conclusion The combination of anti -infective therapy at the same time plus lactobacillus vaginal drug treatment aerobic mixed infections and vagini-tis has slightly higher effective rate than the use of combination anti -infective treatment,the former relapse rate was significantly reduced.

Objective To explore the effect of inhaled iloprost (Ventavis) for patients with congenital heart disease associated with pulmonary hypertension.Methods Twenty-two patients with congenital heart disease associated with pulmonary hypertension were selected to inhale Ventsvis by atomizer before surgery ,the required dosage is 25-30ng/(kg.min),aerosolization of iloprest was inhaled by PARI Junior BOY N after diluted with 2ml physiological saline at 3-hour intervals .The change of hemodynamic effects was measured by Doppler ultrasonography after 60min,120min,and 180min.Results The left and fight vemfieular cardiac output at 60min,120min and 180rain after therapy were markedly higher than that before inhaled iloprost ,respirator therapy time was shorter in patients inhaled iloprost.Conclusion inhaled iloprost can increase cardiac output and improve patients cardiac function.Thus,the therapy with inhaled iloprost is effective and feasible.

Site-directed mutagenesis method was used to introduce two desired mutations, which were confirmed by DNA sequencing, into mouse complement receptor Type II gene(MCR2). Then the constructed eukaryotic expression vectors containing wild type mouse CR2/1(wtMCR2/1), mutant type mouse CR2/1 (mtMCR2/1) and human CR2 (hCR2) cDNA were transferred into mouse SP2/0 cells by electroporation. After two-week screening by G418, the stably transfected clones were obtained. Several ways including PCR, RT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry were utilized to screen those clones with interesting genes integrated and expressed. Then Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) was used to infect these transfected cells and EBER-1 (EBV encoded RNAs) hybridization results showed that only hCR2 and mtMCR2 transfected SP2/0 cells could be infected by EBV, but positive rate of the former was much higher than the latter. This study sets groundwork for elucidating the mechanism by which EBV enters the cells and for establishing the animal model of EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide plays an important role in bone metabolism. However, the effects of different doses of L-arginine, nitric oxide substrate, on the healing of osteoporotic fractures remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of different doses of L-arginine on the healing of osteoporotic fractures and blood biochemistry in rats. METHODS: A total of 50 female Wistar rats, aged 6-month-old, were randomly divided into sham-surgery (n=10) and osteoporosis (bilateral ovariectomy, n=40). After osteoporosis model was established, left middle femoral fractures were made in al 50 rats, and the osteoporosis group was further divided into four groups, low, middle and high dose of L-arginine, and control groups. The L-arginine groups were intraperitoneal y injected with 1, 3, and 5 mg/kg L-arginine at the second day fol owing surgery, while the control and sham-surgery groups were injected with the same volume of normal saline. At 8 weeks, the lumbar and cal us bone mineral density, serum nitric oxide, and nitric oxide synthase were detected. Meanwhile, the bone cal us histological examination was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: During fracture healing, osteoporosis rats showed a low level of serum nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase compared with normal fractured rats (P < 0.05). L-arginine can improve the concentration of serum nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in osteoporosis rats. Moreover, middle dose of L-arginine can increase the cal us and lumbar spine bone mineral density of osteoporosis rats, so the number and continuity of bone trabecula were enhanced. These findings suggest that middle dose of L-arginine (3 mg/kg) can promote healing process of osteoporotic fractures and improve osteoporosis.

Objective To detect the expression of GHR in colorectal cancer cell lines and determine whether recombinant human growth hormone can promote the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells in vitro.Methods GHR distribution was assessed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence method in 9 colorectal cancer cell lines.The effect of recombinant human growth factor on colorectal cancer cell line proliferation was assessed by MTT method.Results Different GHR expression was determinated in 9 colorectal caner cell lines.GHR was highly expressed in HCT-8 while GHR expression could hardly be detected in LoVo.r-hGH could promote GHR(+) HCT-8 cell proliferation at 50 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml (P ＜0.05).But this effect was not dose dependent.When the neutralizing antibody was used to block GHR activity,this r-hGH dependent proliferation effect was eliminated.r-hGH could not promote GHR (-) LoVo cell proliferation (P ＞0.05).Conclusion The results demonstrates that r-hGH could promote GHR (+) tumor cell proliferation and this effect is mediated by GHR.The use of r-hGH on the colorectal cancer patients should be cautious.

AIM: To establish nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cell lines stable expressing NPC-derived latent membrane protein 1(LMP1) gene. METHODS: General expression vector and epithelium-specific expression vector of NPC-derived LMP1 gene were constructed by using recombinant techniques, then transfected these vectors into a poor differentiated NPC cell line named CNE-2 ,integration and expression of N-LMP1 in CNE-2 cells were detected by PCR,RT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: (1) General expression vector and epithelium-specific expression vector of NPC-derived LMP1 gene were constructed successfully.(2) It showed that N-LMP1 gene expressed in CNE-2 cells correctly. CONCLUSION: The first NPC cell lines which stable express NPC-LMP1 were established. The cell lines obtained will provide important basis for exploring the role of NPC-LMP1 in nasopharynx carcinogenesis.

Objective To observe the effects of the extract from daylily on the learning and memory in depression model rats, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Rats were randomly divided into control group, model group ( CUMS), the positive group (CUMS + fluoxetine) , high, medium and low dose group (stress + daylily extract in different doses), 12 rats in each group. The depression model was established by combining separation and chronic unpredictable stress. Body mass, open-field-test and sugar consumption experiment were used to evaluate the changes of behaviors in rats. And morris water Maze test was used to evaluate the ability of learning and memory. Results There was no statistically distinction between the rats of each group on weight and the behavioral indicator before modeling. Compared with the control group, the vertical movement,horizontal movement of open box test in the model group were reduced (P＜0.05 ) ,and sugar consumption and preference degree decreased (P<0.05 ).The target quadrant time, platform resident time, effective area residence time and crossing platform times in the water maze test of the model group was less than those of the control group. The daylily effect was evaluated at 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days respectively post treatment. There were significant differences in depression behaviors between model group and daylily group(P＜0.05). And each indicator in the water maze test of the daylily group (high, medium dose) was more than that of model group (P ＜ 0. 05). Control group, model group, positive group, high, medium and low dose group, vertical movement scores were (41.83 ± 17.63; 8.14 ±4.23; 12.73 ±7.21; 23.17 ± 18.75; 8.38 ±3.46; 13.50 ±5.44); horizontal movement scores were (69.92 ±34.04; 28.33 ±20.36; 62.25 ± 15.72; 69.42 ±35.17 ; 49.08 ±32.85; 48.08 ±21.19). Conclusion Daylily may be partially work on the depression of rats, with some antidepressant effect, meantime,daylily can improve the ability of learning and memorizing of the depressed rats.
