Objective To investigate the effect of antisense oligodeoxynudeotides(ODN)targeting nuclear factor ?B(NF-?B)on the expressions of Caspase-3 and NF-?B in glomerulosclerosis.Methods Male SD rats were divided into 3 groups:sham operation(group A,n=6),glomerulosclerosis(group B,n=6),intervention(group C,n=9).Group C was divided into 3 groups:sense ODN(group C1,n=3),non-sense ODN(group C2,n=3),antisense ODN(group C3,n=3).Glomerulosclerosis models were made for SD rats by unilateral nephrectomy and being injected with adriamycin into caudal vein.After 8 weeks,various ODN applied to corresponding group for intervention.At the end of the 9th week,kidneys were taken out from all rats for the measurement of expressions of NF-?B p65 and Caspase-3 by immunohistochemistry staining.Results After intervention,on the d7,the rats urine protein,glomerular sclerosis index(GI)and expressions of Caspase-3,NF-?B p65 in group C3 were significantly lower than those in group B,C1,C2(Pa0.05).Conclusion Antisense ODN targeting NF-?B can inhibit the activities of NF-?B,Caspase-3 in rats kidneys and retard glomerulosclerosis and glomerular intrinsic cell apoptosis.

[Objective]To investigate and compare the effects of standard gamma nail (SGN) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) in the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.[Method]From May 2002 to September 2005,55 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were treated with SGN.Sixty-eight patients were treated with PFNA from November 2005 to June 2008.The effects of the two implants about perioperative complications,bone healing and the function of the operated hip joint were compared.[Result]No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in blood loss,blood transfusion,infection,deep venous thrombosis and hospital stay.One patient developed femoral head avascular necrosis postoperatively in Gamma nail group.The incidence of postoperative hip pain in Gamma nail group was higher than that in the PFNA group,but there was no significant difference in the Harris score.[Conclusion]Gamma nail and PFNA nail are reliable methods to treat geriatric intertrochanteric fractures,with advantages of minimal iatrogenic injury,stable fixation and few complications.

In this research, mononuclear cells from cord blood were modified with 3mg/ml, 6mg/ml and 12mg/ml methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) respectively. The cell surface antigens and the ability of CFU GM proliferation of mPEG modified cord blood lymphocytes were analyzed. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that mPEG modified lymphocytes attenuated CD3, CD4 and CD8 antibodies binding to antigens on lymphocyte surface ( P

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of triple needling at myofascial trigger points plus warm needling in treating periarthritis of shoulder. Method Eighty patients with periarthritis of shoulder were randomized into a treatment group of 44 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The treatment group was intervened by triple needling at myofascial trigger points plus warm needling, while the control group was by warm needling alone. The two groups were treated once a day, 10 times as a treatment course. The Pain Rating Index (PRI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Present Pain Intensity (PPI), and motion of shoulder joint were observed before the treatment and after 2 treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result In the treatment group, the PRI, VAS, and PPI scores respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses were significantly different from those before the treatment (P<0.05,P<0.01). In the control group, the scores after 2 treatment courses were significantly different from those before the treatment (P<0.05). After 2 treatment courses, the scores in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.01). In both groups, the motions of shoulder joint respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses were significantly changed compared with those before the treatment (P<0.01). The motions of shoulder joint in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses (P<0.05,P<0.01). The recovery plus markedly-effective rate and total effective rate were respectively 70.5% and 95.5% in the treatment group, versus 52.5% and 90.0% in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion Triple needling at myofascial trigger points plus warm needling is an effective approach in treating periarthritis of shoulder.

Objective To measure the vitamin B1 levels in plasma,erythrocytes and urine of the patients with type 2 diabetes,and to analyze the correlation of vitamin B1 level with the progression of diabetic nephropathy,and to clarify the metabolism of nutrtion mechanism of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.Methods Total 90 patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 healthy volunteers were recruited.According to the levels of microalbuminuria,the patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into non diabetic nephropathy (NDN)group,early diabetic nephropathy (EDN)group and clinical diabetic nephropathy (CDN)group (n=30);the healthy people was used as normal control (NC) group.The vitamin B1 levels in the plasma,erythrocytes and urine were examined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The correlation of microalbuminuria with the plasma viamin B1 level was analyzed. Results The level of vitamin B1 in plasma of the patients in NC group was (7.1±3.3)μg·L-1,while it was (4.0±2.3)μg·L-1 in NDN group,(3.1±1.0)μg·L-1 in EDN group and (2.3±0.6)μg·L-1 in CDN group. Compared with NC group,the vitamin B1 levels in the plasma in NDN,EDN and CDN groups dropped 43.7%, 56.3%,and 67.6%,respectively (P<0.05). The excretion of vitamin B1 in urine were (2.9 ± 0.8),(9.0 ± 4.7),(11.7±3.9),and (15.6±5.0)μg·L-1 in NC group,NDN group,EDN group and CDN group, respectively.Compared with NC group,the vitamin B1 levels in the urine in NDN,EDN and CDN groups were increased by 2,3 and 4 times,respectively (P<0.05).A negative correlation was found between the level of microalbuminuria and the level of vitamin B1 in plasma (r=-0.62,P=0.013).Conclusion Vitamin B1 deficiency can be observed in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy,and the level of vitamin B1 is closely correlated with the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between levels of plasma thrombopoietin(TPO) and thrombocytopenia.Methods:Sixty-eight thrombocytopenia with different causes were injected with rhIL-11 domestically made, by 25 ?g/(kg?d) for 10 days continuously. The plasma TPO levels were determined by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique in thrombocytopenic patients between before and after treatment.Results:(1)The serum TPO controls of patients with thrombocytopenia after acute leukemia(AL) chemotherapy were lower than normal controls. The plasma TPO levels in aplastic anemia(AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) patients were all elevated compared to those in normal controls.The serum TPO levels in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) and liver cirrhosis had no difference with the normals. Bone marrow megakaryocytes(MK) count in after chemotherapy AL and AA patients were lower than those with normal serum TPO levels controls. (2)In all above patients used interleukin-11(rhIL-11), their TPO levels were close to normal in efficiency patients. On the contrary, their TPO did not change dramatic. Those react to rhIL-11, their TPO levels were inversely correlated with platelet count.Conclusion:Testing serum TPO levels would be helpful for distinguish the thrombocytopenia with different causes, and provides theorical support to patients to use rhIL-11 reasonably.
