Objective:To detect and analyze the membrane estrogen receptor(mER)in primary cultured interstitial cells of Cajal(ICC).Methods:Interstitial Cells of Cajal(ICC)'s surface binding sites for 17-?estradiol(E2)were detected by cell-impermeant ligand using confocal microscopy.Radioligand binding assay and Scatchard software were used to analyzed the characteristics of mER.Results:Immunofluorescence shows the staining pattern of nonfixed,nonpermeabilized ICC incubated with E2BSAFITC.The radioligand binding assay were analyzed by Scatchard software,The Bmax of mER was 45.75 fmol/mg protein and the kD was 0.717 3 nmol/L.Conclusion:A form of the estrogen receptor is present within the cell membrane of ICC and maybe capable of mediating rapid effect of estrogen.

Objective To investigate the influence of trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on heart func-tion and the BNP level in patients with cornary heart failure.Methods The clinical data of 400 patients with cornary heart disease were retrospectively analyzed.194 patients in the control group were treated with conventional treatment, 206 patients in the observation group were treated with trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on the basis of the control group.The treatment effect,cardiac function and BNP level were observed and compared.Results The effec-tive rate of the observation group was 91.26%,which was significantly higer than 76.29% of the control group (χ2 =16.667,P <0.05).After treatment,the cardiac index,stroke volume,cardiac output,left ventricular ejection fraction and BNP level of the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment,and those in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group(t =2.505,2.851,3.308,3.452,all P <0.05).Conclusion Trime-tazidine combined with atorvastatin in treatment of cornary heart failure has good curative effect,it can reduce the serum level of BNP,improve cardiac function significantly,which is of great value for clinical use.

Owing to the advanced age,limb hemiplegia,dehydration,and vessel wall injury,stroke may be easy to cause venous thromboembolism (VTE).VTE mainly include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).DVT refers to abnormal blood clotting in the veins and impedes venous return.The dislodgement of emboli from the vessel wall can form a thrombotic embolism,and cause PE,myocardial infarction,and stroke; it can not only prolong hospitalization,but also increase the mortality.This article reviews the incidence,risk factors,treatment,and prevention of DVT after a stroke.

Objective To explore the distribution and characterization of class 1 integrons in E.coli from healthy feces,and to elucidate the status of gene-cassettes.Methods Routine method was used to isolate E.coli,antibiotics susceptibility was tested by the disk diffusion method;class 1 integron was detected by PCR assay;PCR products were sequenced and analyzed.Results Of 97 samples,76 isolates were identified,and 25 isolates were multiple-drug resistant.The antibiogram was sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim,ampicillin,streptomycin,tetracycline,erythromycin.14 of 25 isolates carried class 1 integrons,and the size of integrons differed from 1 800 bp(10 strains) to 750 bp(4 strains).The sequenced PCR product demonstrated that the 1 800 bp integron laboured aadA1-dfrA14-orf gene cassette conferred the resistance to sulfamethoxazole-timethoprim,streptomycin and aminoglycoside;the 750 bp integron laboured dfrA14 gene cassette conferred the resistance to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim.Conclusion The different kinds of class 1 integrons exist in E.coli from the healthy students,and determine the multiple-resistant antibiotics.

With the development of conformal radiotherapy,radiotherapy has been used not only in localized prostate cancer as curative therapy.In the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer,adjuvant therapy after radical prostatectomy and combination therapy with androgen can be used,and can relieve the patients with advanced prostate cancer.The indication,efficiency and side effects of the different techniques are reviewed as follows.

BACKGROUND:Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) can inhibit the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but it is uncertain that TMP inhibit the growth and proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells induced by VEGF.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of TMP on the proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells induced by VEGF.DESIGN:Repetitive measurement and observation.SETTING:School of Medicine, Wuhan University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS:The experiment was carried out in the Molecular Biology Laboratory Center, School of Medicine, Wuhan University of Science and Technology from March to June in 2007. Human leukemic cell line HL-60 cells were purchased from Shanghai Institute of Cell Biology. TMP hydrochloride injection was produced by Wuxi Seventh Pharmaceutical Products Limited (Lot number:011014), protamine sulfate injection was produced by Shanghai First Biochemical Pharmaceuticals (Batch number:010302), and immunohistochemistry kit was purchased from Boster company.METHODS:①Human leukemic cell line HL-60 cells at log phase were used for the experiments. Cells were treated with 100 μg/L VEGF, and then TMP at final concentrations of 1.5, 15, 150 mg/L was added into culture medium. While the cells in medium without TMP were taken as blank control group, and the cells in medium with 20 mg/L protamine as positive control group. Meanwhile cells without treatment of VEGF were served as VEGF control group. After cells were incubated for 48 hours, the growth inhibiting rate of HL-60 cells was detected by MTT assay.②After HL-60 cells were treated with TMP at the final concentrations of 1.5, 15, 150 mg/L for 24 hours, the protein expression of VEGF in HL-60 cells was examined by SP immunohistochemistry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Growth inhibiting rate of HL-60 cells.②Protein expression of VEGF.RESULTS:①Growth inhibiting rate of HL-60 cells:After HL-60 cells induced by VEGF were treated with 15 and 150 mg/L TMP, the absorbance value was significantly lower than that in VEGF control group (P < 0.05).②Protein expression of VEGF:After HL-60 cells were treated with TMP for 24 hours, the protein expression of VEGF was down-regulated with increasing TMP concentration in a dependent manner. Significant differences were observed in the protein expression of VEGF between cells treated by TMP and the controls (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:TMP can inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells stimulated by VEGF and down-regulate the expression of VEGF.

Objective To compare the influence of two different managements of relief incision (exposed relaxation therapy or absorbable hemostatic gauze) in infants' palatoplasty. Methods A total of 118 infants with cleft palate between 5- to 8-month-old for the study were randomly divided into two groups: group A was exposed therapy group, and in group B both sides of relief incision were placed absorbable hemostatic gauze. The wound bleeding, body temperature, diet and incidence of fistula were observed and analyzed after operation. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative temperature, diet and wound healing (P>0. 05). The postoperative wound bleeding was statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0. 05). Conclusions Either exposed therapy or placed absorbable hemostatic gauze in relief incision, has minimal systemic and local reactions in the postoperative infant. The advantages of exposed treatment are economic and simple, and less irritant to the wound.

Recent studies show that autophagy ont only plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis in cells,but also palys a double role in the tumorigenesis and development of cancer.Studying the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and the relationship between autophagy and cancer have great significance for cancer treatment and prevention.
