Microcystins (MCs) is a potent cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxin produced by the blue-green algae,Microcystis aeruginosa. The pollution caused by microcystins has become a global concern. Facing to MCs-induced health hazards and potential economic losses,it has an important practical significance to study the effective chemoprotectants against MCs. In this paper,both domestic and abroad researches on the chemoprotectants (silymarin,curcumin,green tea polyphenols,cyclosporin-A,rifampin,trace element supplementation) against MCs were reviewed.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of magnifying endoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of colorectal benign neoplastic lesions.Methods78 colorectal lesions in 61 patients were examined with magnifying colonoscopy after indigo carmine dye, and a pit pattern diagnosis was made for every lesion according to Kudo's classification.All the lesions were totally resected, and the specimen were sent for pathologic examinations.ResultsThe diagnostic sensitivity of neoplastic lesions was 98.4% and specificity was 85.7% when types Ⅰ and Ⅱ represented the pit pattern of nonneoplastic lesions, whereas types Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ represented adenoma and early colorectal cancer. The overall accuracy in differentiating adenoma and early colorectal cancer from nonneoplastic lesions was 96.2%.94.5% of adenomarous lesions were treated by colonoscopy.ConclusionThe magnifying colonoscopy can provide an instantenous accurate diagnosis of tumorous lesions in colon and rectum. Synchronize, minimally invasive and curative treatment is possible to be completed by using it for a large number of lesions.

Objective To determine serum vascular endothelial growth factor (s-VEGF) and serum endostatin (s-endostatin) levels in patients with colorectal cancer after preoperative regional intraarterial chemotherapy (PRAC). Methods Peripheral venous blood was sampled preoperatively and postoperatively, and was assayed for VEGF and endostatin by ELISA. Results Patients' preoperative level of s-VEGF and s-endostatin elevated significantly, which was in close correlation with Dukes' stage. The level of s-VEGF and s-endostatin before chemotherapy elevated significantly compared with that on day 7 after chemotherapy and on postoperational day 1 and 14 after operation. In patients undergoing palliative resection, only the level of s-endostatin before chemotherapy was significantly higher than that on day 1 after operation. Conclusions PRAC, inhibiting angiogenesis, is of antitumor effect, the decrease of s-endostatin after chemotherapy may suggest the combination of chemotherapy and antiangiogenesis for a better antitumor effect.

Objective To explore the relationship between atrial fibrillation and hip fractures caused by falls in the elderly.Methods All patients aged 65 years or older who underwent surgical treatment for hip fractures caused by falls in our department from January 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled.The relationships of atrial fibrillation as well as chronic medical history with hip fractures were retrospectively analyzed.The control group was matched 1 to 1 by age,sex,and admission time.Chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used to calculate the odds ratio (ORvalue) of fractures in patients with atrial fibrillation.Results There was no significant difference in the history of smoking,drinking,diabetes,coronary heart disease,heart failure,chronic kidney disease,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),and Parkinson's disease between the two groups.A total of 37 patients had a history of atrial fibrillation in the fracture group,compared to 18 patients with atrial fibrillation in the control group.The incidence of atrial fibrillation in the fracture group and the control group were 9.6% and 4.7%,respectively,with crude OR=2.18,95%CI(1.32-4.15),P=0.008 and adjusted OR=2.27,95%CI(1.37-5.20),P=0.02.Compared with the control group,the incidence of stroke (x2 =14.06,P < 0.05),osteoporosis (x2 =200.64,P < 0.01) and cognitive impairment(x2 =8.23,P <0.01)increased in the fracture group.When classified by age and sex in the fracture group,the incidence of atrial fibrillation had no significant difference between different gender and age subgroups.Conclusions Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for hip fractures caused by falls in the elderly.There is no significant difference in the incidence of atrial fibrillation in hip fracture patients between the different ages(65-74 years,75-84 years,≥of 85 years)and genders.In addition,stroke,osteoporosis,and cognitive impairment increase the risk of hip fractures caused by falls in elderly patients.
