Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant.Its protective effects on oxidative stress induced by diabetes and othe factors are mainly achieved via its antioxidant property.Such effects have been observed in cardiovascular system,kidney,and liver.This article reviews the recent advances in the anti-oxidation mechanisms and protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid in peripheral organs.

0.05).CONCLUSION:The critical twinkle visual frequency of red light in normal persons is higher than that in schizophrenia patients and alcoholism patients.And the critical twinkle visual frequency in alcoholism patients is a little lower than that in schizophrenia patients.

Objective To analyse effect of different dose of sustained-release theophyline on prealbumin, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count in patients with pediatric asthma.Methods 58 children with acute asthma attack in our hospital were collected.All children were randomly divided into high dose group and low dose group,29 cases in each group.On the basis of conventional treatment, high dose group were treated with high dose theophylline sustained release tablets 5 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally,and low dose group was treated with low dose theophylline sustained release tablets,2 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally.Two groups were treatment for two weeks.After the treatment, the serum levels of pre albumin, C-reactive protein and veinal blood level of white blood cell count were detected in all children.Results Compared with high dose group post-treatment, the serum level PA was higher in low dose group (P<0.05);the serum level of CRP was lower in low dose group (P<0.05);the veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils was lower in low dose group (P<0.05) .Conclusion Compared with high dose of sustained-release theophyline,the low dose of sustained-release theophyline can significantly reduce the serum CRP level and veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils, improve serum PA level in patients with pediatric asthma, reduce inflammation in patients.

Objective This study assessed whether the best overall response rate(ORR) of cetuximab combined with oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda was superior to that of this method alone as first-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.The influence of KRAS mutation status was investigated.Methods Patients received cetuximab(400mg/m2 initial dose followed by 250mg/m2,wk thereafter)less than 2 times plus chemotherapy(oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 on day 1,plus leucovorin 200mg/m2 and fluorouracil as a 400mg/m2 bolus followed by a 600mg/m2 infusion during 22 hours on days 1 and 2) or chemotherapy alone.Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.KRAS mutation status was assessed in the subset of patients with assessable tumor samples.Results The confirmed ORR for cetuximab plus oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda was higher than that with alone(42.86% vs 21.74%).A statistically significant increase in the odds for a response with the addition of cetuximab to oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda could be established.In patients with KRAS wild-type tumors,the addition of cetuximab to oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda was associated with a clinically significant increased chance of response(ORR 54.55% vs 21.74%) and a lower risk as compared with chemothrapy alone.Cetuximab plus oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda was generally well tolerated.Conclusion The clinical effcacy of chemothrapy(oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda) plus cetuximab is better than only chemothrapy.KRAS mutational status was shown to be a highly predictive selection criterion in the treatment decision regarding the addition of cetuximab to oxaliplatin,leucovorin and fluorouracil/Xeloda for previously untreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Objective To study the value of interventional therapy for chest diseases via internal mammary artery (IMA) and the features of internal mammary artery angiography. Methods 31 cases of different chest diseases were undertaken the angiography and interventional therapy through IMA. Results The lesions of 31 cases were supplied by internal mammary artery partly or totally. The good therapeutic effectiveness was achieved in 20 cases with pulmonary carcinoma. The masses and the enlarged lymph nodes were shrinked obviously in 4 cases of advanced breast carcinoma and one of them was cured with operation after internal mammary arterial infusion. One case of low invasive thymoma was cured by internal mammary arterial infusion combined with resection. The bleeding was stopped absolutely after IMA embolization in 6 cases of hemoptysis (bronchiectasis in 2 cases, pulmonary tuberculosis in 4 cases). Conclusions The interventional therapy via IMA is very important and necessary when the mass in the chest is supplied by IMA.

Objective To explore the efficacy of transvaginal color Doppler sonography(TV-CDS)in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cornual pregnancy.Methods The characteristics of gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography of 30 patients with cornual pregnancy confirmed by surgery and pathology,were studied retrospectively.The position,size,figure,echogenicity and vascular pattern of the pregnancy tissue were evaluated,and the resistance index was calculated.Results The 30 patients were classified into two groups:group A with typical gestational sac and group B with abnormal mass in the area of corner.The overall diagnostic accuracy for these patients was 43.3%(13/3)and classified as 90%(9/10)accuracy for group A and 20%(4/20)for group B.Among the 17 patients who were misdiagnosed or diagnosed unclearly by TV-CDS,one patient in group A was misdiagnosed as a normal pregnancy,11 patients in group B were misdiagnosed as gestational trophoblastic disease and the rest 5 patients in group B were diagnosed unclearly.Conclusions TV-CDS is useful for differential diagnosis of cornual pregnancy.The cornual pregnancy with abnormal mass is usually misdiagnosed,and therefore clinical features and laboratory data should be fully evaluated for its diagnosis.

BACKGROUND:In previous studies, it is satisfied to sorting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels based on natural sedimentation combined with low permeation. Then, based on particle hydromechanics theory, the settling velocity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels in culture liquid is calculated. A simple and easy method of separation, purification and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is established by natural sedimentation velocity. OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility of sorting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels by natural sedimentation velocity method. METHODS:The density interval of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stemcels (ρ1) was determined by density gradient centrifugation method. The diameter of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (d) was measured by scanning electron microscope. The density of culture liquid (ρ2) was measured by liquid density meter. The viscosity of the culture liquid (μ) was measured by viscosity meter. The settling velocity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (Vt) was derived from the above four numerical values with the appropriate formula. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were sorted from bone marrow tissue by natural sedimentation velocity method. Cel proliferation, purity and differentiation were observed. Meanwhile, the primary culture time of three different cel sorting methods was recorded; the colony formation rate of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels was determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The diameter of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels was (20.37±4.58) μm, and the setting velocity of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels in the culture liquid was 50-55 mm/h. (2) Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels could be successfuly isolated from bone marrow tissue of rabbits by the natural sedimentation velocity method, which could be induced into osteoblasts and adipocytes. (3) The natural sedimentation velocity group cost less time than the other two density gradient centrifugation groups in the primary culture stage. The colony formation rate of the natural sedimentation velocity group was higher than that of the other two groups. (4) Natural sedimentation velocity method did not impose any intervention measures for sorting cels, which maybe maximaly maintain cel viability and biological characteristics. The whole separation process was simple and safe, which may have little damage to the cels.
