The influence of L-arginine on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) was observed in experimental pulmonary thromboembolism and the action mechanism on pulmonary thromboembolism was explored. Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and treatment group. Pulmonary thromboembolism models were established by auto-blood back transfusion, and L-Arg 100 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected after successful model preparation. The animals were sacrificed at 3 h, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after embolism. Plasma NO, TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGFla were detected. The expression of eNOS and COX2 protein and mRNA in pulmonary tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR respectively. The results showed that pulmonary thrombosis could be seen post pulmonary embolism and inflammatory reaction was significant. Plasma NO was decreased (P<0.01), and the levels of TXB2, 6-Keto-PGF1alpha and T/P ratio were all elevated. The expression of eNOS protein and mRNA in the pulmonary tissue was down-regulated (P<0.05), while that of COX2 protein and mRNA was upregulated (P<0.01). In treatment group, the level of NO was increased, the levels of TXB2 and T/P ratio were decreased, but the level of 6-Keto-PGF1alpha was increased. The expression of eNOS protein and mRNA in pulmonary tissue was upregulated (P<0.05), while that of COX2 protein and mRNA was down-regulated (P<0.05). In conclusion, L-arginine can educe the role of pulmonary tissue protection through up-regulating the expression of intra-pulmonary NOS and down -regulating COX2 in pulmonary thromboembolism.

This review analyzed the effect of folic acid on pemetrexed efficacy and toxicity, especially high-does folic acid supplementation. The optimal duration for supplementation prior to the first dose of pemetrexed has not been defined. The review also explored whether total plasma homocysteine levels can be as a marker to predict and avoid toxicity from pemetrexed therapy.

Objective To investigate the in vivo effect of silenced actin-associated protein Transgelin on the growth of human pancreatic carcinoma xenograft in nude mice.Methods Human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC3 were transfected with small hairpin RNA (shRNA) eukaryotic expression vector targeting Transgelin gene.RT-PCR and Western blot were used to analyze Transgelin expression after transfection.24 animal models were randomly divided into three groups with 8 in each:Experimental group (transplanted BxPC3/Transgelin shRNA),negative control group (transplanted BxPC3/Neo) and untreated group (transplanted BxPC3).Tumor size was measured weekly.All mice were sacrificed after 28 days.Tumor volume was calculated,inhibitory effect was analyzed.Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections for Transgelin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) proteins were performed.Results Tumors varied in sizes among 3 groups (all P < 0.05).On day 21 and 28 tumor was significantly smaller in experimental group than those in control groups.Tumor weighed(0.74 ±0.21) g in experimental group,lower than that in negative control group(1.42 ± 0.28) g and untreated group(1.59 ± 0.24) g (all P < 0.05).The inhibitory effect was 53.5% in experimental group.The PCNA index was significantly lower in experimental group than those in control groups (all P < 0.05).Conclusions Deletion of Transgelin gene can significantly inhibit the proliferation and tumor growth of BxPC3 cells in nude mice.

Objective To discuss the cause,treatment and prevention of splenic injury during the urological surgery.Methods The clinical data of 16 cases with splenic injury in operation for renal and adrenal tumors in 496 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Nine cases were left radical nephrectomy,3 cases were left renal hamartoma enucleation,4 cases were left adrenal tumor resection.Damage located at outer edge of the spleen in 8 cases,the splenorenal ligament in 6 cases,and the splenic hilum in 2 cases.In these 16 cases,14 patients spared the spleen (Ⅰ Grade injury 8 cases,Ⅱ grade 6 cases).The injuryed spleen was directly pressed with hemostatic gauze in 3 cases; 5 patients used coagulation,bonding,hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury used U-shaped suture and coated with fibrin glue,then compressed with hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injuries with the greater omentum stitched into the seam,sprayed biological glue,were compressed with gelatin sponge; 2 cases of grade Ⅱ injury underwent splenic artery branch ligation.The other 2 cases (1 Ⅱ grade and 1 Ⅲ grade) underwent splenectomy.Results All of the 16 patients were cured and followed up for 6 months to 5 years.There was no delayed bleeding of spleen and splenic dysfunction.One patient died of tumor recurrence 6 months after operation.Conclusions Splenic injury is a common complication during urological surgery,especially the tumor is large or adhered to spleen in the upper pole of left kidney.Once spenic injury occurs,doctors should choose the right treatment plan according to surgical injury,and try to save the spleen.

The traditional discipline-centered curriculum design can neither keep up with developments of modern medical science nor reach requirements of the education reform in the new century.Since 2011,College of Stomatology in School of Medicine in Shanghai Jiao Tong University had developed ‘ disease oriented integrated curriculum system reform’ for students of long-term stomatology education.In view of the problems existing in the original curriculum system,the integrated curriculum system was set up by coalescing clinical medicine curriculum according to the related systems and oral medicine curriculum according to the developmental rules of diseases.Lectures were combined with discussion classes in the reform and performance appraisal system was changed from simplex judgments into comprehensive evaluations.At last,further considerations of promoting the reform based on the practice were proposed.

BACKGROUND:Mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 10 (r-Mt cpn10) is one of the main factors that cause bone tuberculosis dissolution and absorption as wel as inhibits the proliferation of osteoblasts. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin are the important factors influencing bone metabolism.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of r-Mt cpn10 on human osteoblast proliferation, alkaline phosphatase secretion, expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand mRNA and osteoprotegerin mRNA. METHODS:Human bone marrow stromal cel s were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, and osteoblasts at passage 3 were cultured with various concentrations of r-Mt cpn10 (0.1, 1, 10 mg/L). Osteoblasts cultured without r-Mt CPN10 were assigned as controls.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MTT assay results showed that, compared with control group, r-Mt cpn10 at different concentrations inhibited osteoblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase secretion (P<0.05). RT-PCR analysis showed that, r-Mt cpn10 at different concentrations increased receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand mRNA expression (P<0.01), and inhibited osteoprotegerin mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01). 10 mg/L r-Mt cpn10 exhibited the strongest effect (P<0.01). The r-Mt cpn10 can inhibit osteoblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity, and it may influence bone metabolism by regulating the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand mRNA and osteoprotegerin mRNA.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of castration with 125I brachtherapy in middle and late stage prostate cancer. Methods Sixty-six patients with prostate cancer from 2004 to 2009 were analyzed, 40 were at clinical stage C and 26 were at clinical stage D, 42 had a pathologic grade G2 and 24 had a pathologic grade G3. The first endocrinal therapy used was total androgen blockade (chemical castration and anti-androgen drugs). The therapeutic time was three months before bilateral orchidectomy and brachtherapy. A 3D radiotherapy planning system was used for brachtherapy with transrectal ultrasound-guided radioactive 125I seed uniform implantation. Follow-up endocrinal therapy was decided according to a monthly check of serum PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels. After six months, serum PSA, IPSS and volume of the prostate before and after treatment were compared. Results The operations were completed successfully in all cases. The mean number of 125I seeds implanted was 55. The mean follow-up was 10 to 62 months, with an average of 49 months. Serum PSA, IPSS and the volume of the prostate was reduced significantly six months after operation (P<0.05). Conclusions Castration with 125I brachtherapy is an effective approach in combination therapy for treating middle and late stage prostate cancer.
