Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 2004;0(05):-
Objective To observe the inhibition of different concentrations of curcumin on cell growth,and explore the molecular mechanism of curcumin on human osteosarcoma.Methods Curcumin of different concentrations(0,10,20 and 40?mol/L) was administered to U-2OS cells of human osteosarcoma for 12h,24h and 48h,respectively.The proliferation of U-2OS cells was measured by MTT assay.Results Curcumin significantly inhibited the proliferation of PC-3 cells in vitro in concentration-and time-dependent manners.The higher the concentration of curcumin,the stronger the inhibition was(10?mol/L,20?mol/L,40?mol/L of r=-0.9638,-0.9778 and-0.9764,respectively,P

Objective To investigate the hypothesis that food allergy in infants may be associated with variation in their intestinal microflora. The formation of intestinal microflora in healthy infants and changes in food allergic infants were detected.Methods 16S rRNA gene sequences specific for bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and escherichia coli in fecal were quantitatively detected by real-time PCR. The three fecal floras were assessed in 71 healthy infants and 100 infants with food allergy. Results After birth,there were bifidobacteria colonized in infantile intestine,then the number increased rapidly up to 5 times at the sixth month, which was always the preponderant flora. Lactobacilli was also presented in infantile intestine 1 month after birth and augment gradually. The number of Escherichia coli was less than bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and appeared to decline during the early infants. The number of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the infants with food allergy were markedly less than that in the healthy infants, but escherichia coli was significantly more than that in the healthy infants.Conclusions During the first year of life,the intestinal microflora in infants is in a developing process. Compared with the healthy infants,bifidobacteria and lactobacilli decrease, but escherichia coli increase in the food allergic infants.These results indicate that the probiotics may be benefit to the prevention and treatment of food allergy.

Mind map is an effective and intuitive knowledge organization and presentation tool which can help computer teaching commendably. We can use Mind Map to design and organize the whole teaching process, including preparing, designing, guiding, analyzing and reviewing. This way can turns tedious logic of computer teaching into imagery thinking and helps medical students improv-ing their learning effect of computer courses.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for the prognosis of radical resection in elderly patients with colorectal cancer.Methods A total of 416 patients with colorectal cancer aged over 65 years were analyzed retrospectively,who came from Peking University First Hospital and Beijing Hospital from July 2008 to July 2011.Survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan-Meier and the survival rate was compared by Log-rank method.Multivariate analysis was conducted to analyze the prognostic factors by Cox regression.Results In this group of patients,the age was(74.3 ±5.4)years,and the post operative 5-year survival rate were 84.5%,77.3%,48.2% respectively for staging Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ patients.Univariate analysis showed that age,ASA score,co morbidity,preoperative hypohemia,preoperative hypoalbuminemia,postoperative complications,elevated preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),intraoperative blood loss,perioperative blood transfusion,vascular cancer embolus,nerve invasion,depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,tumor TNM stage and adjuvant therapy were correlated with the prognosis.Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥75 years,co morbidity,postoperative complications,preoperative albumin<30 g/ L,depth of invasion,and lymph node metastasis,tumor TNM stage and adjuvant therapy were the independent risk factors for prognosis.Conclusions The risk factors for prognosis after radical resection in elderly patients with colorectal cancer include age≥75 years,co-morbidity,postoperative complications,preoperative albumin <30 g/L,depth of invasion,and lymph node metastasis,tumor TNM stage and adjuvant therapy.

Objective To analyze the chara cteristic finding of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) on MR images. Methods Eleven patients with biochemicall y proved MLD were studied retrospectively for the extent of white matter abnormalities and the in volvement of specific structures (such as corpus callosum, white matter tract, a nd thalami). Result All 11 cases in the periventricular white m atter and 10 cases in centrum semiovale showed a symmetric confluent high intens ity on T_2-weighted images. Involvement of subcortical U-fibers was present i n 4 late-stage cases. Other sites of involvement were the genu (n=8) and s plenium (n=9) of the cor pus callosum (both n=8), the posterior limbs of internal capsule (n=7), external capsule (n=4), the descending pyramidal tracts (pons in 1, midbrain in 3), and the cerebellar white matter (n=1). A tigroid pattern was found in the centru m se miovale in 8 cases. Nine cases appeared low signal intensity on T_2-weighted i mag es in the thalami; There were 5 cases with mild ventriculomegaly and 1 case with diffuse brain atrophy. Conclusion The typical MR feature of M LD is a bilatera l and symmetrical high signal intensity on T_2-weighted images in periventricu lar and centrum semiovale white matter with initial sparing of the subcortical U -fi ber, and both the genu and splenium of corpus callosum involvement. Besides, the tigroid pattern in the centrum semiovale and involvement of the internal capsul e, external capsule, and corticospinal tract are frequent additional features.

As a kind of mature non-invasive brain stimulation technology, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown sig-nificance in clinic. Recently, DCS has been applied over the scalp to the spinal cord, named transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS), that may modulate the spinal cord tracts and spinal cord loop electrical activity at segmental level, and may benefit in the treatment of chronic pain and motor dysfunction after injury of nervous system. This paper reviewed physiological effects, safety considerations and potential clinical applications of tsDCS.

Objective To analysis the clinical characteristics of kidney transplantation for the aged recipients and the influence of quadruple immunosuppressant on treatment result. Methods From 1990 to 2001,of 1251 cases of renal transpantation,the clinical data of 126 cases of the aged recipients over 60 years old were investigated.The aged recipients was divided into two groups;combination of cyclosporine(CsA),azathoprine(Aza) and corticosterioids was given in groupⅠ,In groupⅡ,except for CsA,mycophenolate mofetil(MMF),corticosteroids and Wu-T 3 quadruple therapy in the 47 cases aged recipients, Daclizumab or Basiliximab were injected in prophylaxis of acute rejection within 2 hours prior to transplantation and in someday after transplantation to the 24 aged recipients. The groupⅡ was compared with the groupⅠ in complications, the rate of acute rejection and the one-year-survival rate of patients/allograft.Results The rates of cardiocerebral vascular disease and infection complications in the aged recipients were higher than that in the non-elderly patients. In the groupsⅠ and Ⅱ, the postoperative complications was 74 55%and 38 03%, respectively;the rates of acute rejection were 12 73% and 4 23%,respectively;one year survival rate of patients/allografts was 81 82%/78 18% and 97 18%/95 77% respectively.Conclusions The cardiocerebral vascular disease and infection complications were the main factors affecting the outcome of renal transplantation in the aged recipients. The quadruple immunosuppressant regimens could reduce postoperative complications and acute rejection. At the same time one-year-survival rate of patients/ allografts have been improved in the aged patients.
