Objective:To investigate the effect of levosimendan on myocardial injury in patients with sepsis.Methods:Eighty-two patients with sepsis complicated by myocardial injury who received treatment in Yinzhou Second Hospital from June 2015 to September 2017 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either dobutamine treatment (control group, n = 41) or levosimendan treatment (study group, n = 41) based on conventional basic treatment. Before and after treatment, serum levels of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LEVF), Acute Physiology, Age, and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and 28-day mortality were compared between the control and study groups. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in serum levels of H-FABP, cTnI, and NT-proBNP as well as LVEF and APACHE II score between the control and study groups (all P > 0.05). At 6 hours after treatment, serum levels of H-FABP, cTnI, and NT-proBNP in the control and study groups [(26.22 ± 7.22) μg/L vs. (39.93 ± 9.85) μg/L, (25.97 ± 6.93) μg/L vs. (34.86 ± 8.55) μg/L, (0.004 ± 0.002) μg/L vs. (1.580 ± 0.360) μg/L, (0.003 ± 0.003) μg/L vs. (0.760 ± 0.210) μg/L, (1 561.73 ± 633.70) ng/L vs. (2 570.06 ± 747.95) ng/L, (1 602.28 ± 681.45) ng/L vs. (2 225.53 ± 585.14) ng/L] were significantly increased compared with before treatment ( t = 7.188, 5.172, 28.031, 23.079, 6.586, 4.443, all P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of H-FABP, cTnI, and NT-proBNP in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 2.489, 12.598, 2.323, all P < 0.05). In each group, serum level of H-FABP at 72 hours after treatment was significantly lower than that at 6 hours after treatment [(39.93 ± 9.85) μg/L vs. (6.28 ± 1.07) μg/L, (34.86 ± 8.55) μg/L vs. (5.82 ± 1.88) μg/L], serum levels of cTnI and NT-proBNP at 72 hours after treatment were significantly increased compared with those at 6 hours after treatment [(1.58 ± 0.36) μg/L vs. (2.72 ± 0.55) μg/L, (0.76 ± 0.21) μg/L vs. (1.78 ± 0.49) μg/L, (2 570.06 ± 747.95 ) ng/L vs. (3 623.27 ± 1 105.28) ng/L, (2 225.53 ± 585.14) ng/L vs. (3 128.08 ± 1 098.07) ng/L, t = 11.105, 12.251, 5.053, 4.645, all P < 0.05). At 72 hours after treatment, serum levels of cTnI and NT-proBNP levels in the control group were significantly higher than those in the study group ( t = 8.171, 2.035, both P < 0.05). At 72 hours after treatment, there was no significant difference in serum H-FABP level between the control and study groups ( P > 0.05). At 72 hours after treatment, APACHE II score in each group was significantly decreased and LVEF in each group was significantly increased compared with before treatment ( t = 7.718, 11.380, 9.049, 9.501, all P < 0.05). The change in APACHE II score at 72 hours after treatment relative to before treatment in the study group was more obvious than that in the control group ( t = 2.583, P < 0.05). At 72 hours after treatment, there were no significant differences in LVEF, ICU stay and 28-day mortality between the control and study groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Levosimendan can reduce the serum levels of H-FABP, cTnI and NT-proBNP as well as APACHE II score in patients with sepsis, increase serum level of LVEF, and alleviate myocardial injury.

BACKGROUND: Long-term utilization of steroid hormone easily induces avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum possesses bone growth factor and can promote wound healing and tissue repairing, which may has effect on treatment of ANFH. OBJECTIVE: To investigate therapeutic effect of antler powder on ANFH induced by corticosteroids in rats. METHODS: Totally 42 male wistar rats were randomly divided into the blank control, model and high-, moderate- and low-dose treatment groups. Exception those in the blank control group, all rats were intragluteally injected with dexamethasone at 30 mg/kg twice per week for 6 weeks to induce ANFH. Then the rats were treated with antler powder by oral gavage at 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg dosage, once per day for 60 days. Same volume of physiological saline was gavaged in the blank control and model groups. Serum lipid level and bone mineral density (BMD) of femur were measured, pathological change and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were investigated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Steroid hormone intervention resulted in obviously ANFH in rats. After treatment with antler powder, the degree of necrosis was significant reduced. Compared with the model group, BMD were increased, total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and low density lipoprotein levels were decreased, and the VEGF expression increased in the treatment groups. The results suggest that antler powder has a positive curative effect on ANFH by promoting bone formation, fat metabolism and increasing VEGF expression.

AIM: To investigate the expression of TNF-?, TGF-? in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) and normal oral mucosa (NOM). METHODS: An immunohistochemical technique was performed to detect TNF-?, TGF-?_1 and TGF-?_2 expression in 22 cases with OLP and 10 normal controls. RESULTS: In lamina propria of OLP, the expression of TNF-? and TGF-?_1 were increased, whereas TGF-?_2 did changed significantly compared with control group. TNF-? positive signal were mostly found in macrophages, lymphocytes. TGF-?_1 positive cell was present in macrophages, endothelial cells and fibrocytes. CONCLUSION: TNF-? and TGF-?_1 play an important role in the development and maintenance of OLP local inflammation.

Condusions After transfection with BB-102, growth of the SH-SY5Y cells was inhibited,apoptosis was induced,and immunogenicity was greatly enhanced.

BACKGROUND:Gold nanorods have unique optical properties, good histocompatibility, easily control ed surface modification, which have a broad application prospect in the field of biology and medicine. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the optical and thermal properties of gold nanoparticles, and to review the mechanism and research advances of gold nanoparticles, especial y gold nanorods in tumor sensitize radiotherapy. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed and CNKI databases was undertaken with the keywords of“gold nanoparticles, radiotherapy sensitivity”in English and Chinese, respectively. The included articles were related to nanoparticles used in vitro and in vivo for clinic study as wel as gold nanoparticles-related tumor sensitize radiotherapy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Gold nanoparticles exhibit unique properties of surface plasmon resonance properties. Compared with the traditional spherical gold nanoparticles, gold nanorods are capsule-like gold nanoparticles containing two absorption peaks that are a transverse surface plasmon resonance absorption peak and a longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption peak corresponding to the dimensional characteristics of their horizontal axis and vertical axis, respectively. By regulation of the ratio of horizontal axis and vertical axis, we can realize the manipulation of the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption peak location. Thus, the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption peak can be changed from visible region to the near-infrared region which is the most ideal optical transmission through for al of biological tissues. As a kind of novel radiotherapy sensitization agent, gold nanorods have the properties of low toxicity, high efficiency, high yield. Its sensitization effect is not only related to the exposure dose, own concentration and size, surface modified compounds, but also related to the types of radiation and celllines. However, for radiotherapy sensitization of gold nanorods how to avoid the limits of radioactive ray species, choose appropriate trim and maximize the use of gold nanorods stil need a further research.
