Objective To investigate whether baicalein inhibits the proliferation, cell cycle of and pseudopod formation in A431, a skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line, by suppressing the expression of ezrin protein. Methods A431 cells were grouped to be transfected with ezrin-targeting siRNA (siRNA group), treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L, respectively (baicalein group), or remain untreated (control group). After additional culture, wound healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to observe the migration and invasion of A431 cells, RT-PCR to detect the mRNA expression of ezrin in A431 cells, Western blot and immunoflu-orescence to measure the expression of ezrin protein and its phosphorylation. The pseudopod formation in A431 cells was observed by using scanning electron microscopy. Results After 24-hour culture, wound healing assay displayed that the percent wound closure was 13.3 ± 1.7, 7.6 ±1.6 and 5.9 ± 1.3, respectively, in A431 cells treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20μmol/L, significantly lower than that in untreated A431 cells (16.3 ± 2.3, all P < 0.01), and the inhibition of baicalein on the migration of A431 cells was concentration-dependent. In the Transwell assay, a significant decrease was observed in the number of A431 cells per high power field permeating through the artificial basement membrane in the groups treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20 μmol/L for 48 hours compared with the control group (46.5 ± 3.8, 34.3 ± 3.4, 25.3 ± 2.3 vs 56.3 ± 3.8, all P < 0.01), whereas no significant difference was noted between these baicalein-treated groups and siRNA-transfected group (28.3 ± 2.1, all P > 0.05). RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA expression of ezrin in baicalein-treated A431 cells significantly decreased compared with that in untreated cells (all P< 0.01), but showed no difference from that in siRNA group (P > 0.05). A statistical difference was also observed in the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin protein between baicalein-treated A431 cells and untreated cells (all P< 0.05), but not between 40 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells (P> 0.05). Furthermore, the suppression of baicalein on ezrin protein and mRNA expression was concentration dependent. The number of pseudopod per cell was significantly lower in 20 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells than that in untreated A431 cells (5.3 ± 1.9, 4.5 ± 2.8 vs 22.6 ± 2.8, both P < 0.01), while no significant difference was observed between the former two groups of cells (P > 0.05); the length of pseudopodia also reduced in baicalein-treated cells. Conclusions Baicalein may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of A431 cells by directly or indirectly suppressing the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin, which in turn contributes to the effect of baicalein against tumor proliferation and metastasis.

Intrahepatic bile duct stones located at the upper part of the hepatic duct.The percentage of intrahepatic biliary cholesterol calculus is increasing in recent years,and the incidence of this type of bile duct stones is free from infection or obstruction.The formation of intrahepatic bile duct stones might not only related to the micro-environment changes in the biliary tract,but also related to the changes of metabolic function of hepatocytes or cholangiocytes.In this article,the mechanism of biliary hydrodynamics on the formation of intrahepatic bile duct stones was reviewed.

Objective To explore the child pneumonia in infection circumstances of Coxsackie B virus(CVB), Cytomegalovirus(CMV),Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).Methods Indirect ELISA were used to detect the specific IgM antibody of CVB, CMV, EBV. Results The total positive rate,which suffer from the three kinds of viruses in 140 children wich pneumonias was 38.6%.The positive rates of the CVB- IgM, CMV- IgM, EBV- IgM were 24.3%,8.6%,6.5%.Conclusions CVB has the higher infection rate in the pneumonia, is one of the main causes in the infection of child pneumonia.CMV,EBV also has the certain infection rate, although the infection rate is not high, they can cause damage of many organs and systems .They should be watched out for and valued.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of perioperative application of Sijunzi Decoction and enteral nutrition on T-cell subsets and nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer after operation. METHODS: In this prospective, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial, fifty-nine patients with gastric cancer were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=20) and two study groups (group A, n=21; group B, n=18). Sjunzi Decoction (100 ml) was administered via nasogastric tube to the patients in the study group B from the second postoperation day to the 9th postoperation day. Patients in the two study groups were given an isocaloric and isonitrogonous enteral diet, which was started on the second day after operation, and continued for eight days. Patients in the control group were given an isocaloric and isonitrogonous parenteral diet for 9 days. All variables of nutritional status such as serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), transferrin (TRF) and T-cell subsets were measured one day before operation, and one day and 10 days after operation. RESULTS: All the nutritional variables and the levels of CD3(+), CD4(+), CD4(+)/CD8(+) were decreased significantly after operation. Ten days after operation, T-cell subsets and nutritional variables in the two study groups were increased as compare with the control group. The levels of ALB, TRF and T-cell subsets in the study group B were increased significantly as compared with the study group A (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Enteral nutrition assisted with Sijunzi Decoction can positively improve and optimize cellular immune function and nutritional status in the patients with gastric cancer after operation.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of our self-designed adjustable weight-bearing brace for AO type B tibial shaft fractures managed by interlocking intramedullary nail.Methods A total of 68 consecutive patients with AO type 42-B tibial shaft fracture who had been managed from April 2013 to March 2015 hy interlocking intramedul]ary nail were recruited into our study.They were randomized into 2 equal groups (n =34).Group A received conventional therapy after operation while group B received auxiliary mauagement with our self-designed adjustable weight-bearing brace after conventional postoperative therapy for one week.The 2 groups were compared at postoperative 1,3 and 6 months and at the final follow-up in terms of visual analogue scale (VAS),weight-bearing status of the affected limb,time for fracture union,Radiographic Union Score for Tibial Fractures (RUST) and Johner-Wruhs scale.Results Of this series,62 cases were followed up for 12 to 18 months (average,14.7 months),5 ones were lost to the follow-up and one withdrew.The mean VAS scores at 3-month and 6-month follow-ups for group B were 2.5 ± 0.8 and 0.9 ± 0.6 respectively,significantly lower than those for group A (3.0 ± 0.9 and 1.4 ± 0.8 respectively) (P < 0.05).In group A at 1-month,3-month and 6-month follow-ups,the weight-bearing status was 44.1% ± 17.5%,72.0% ±17.4% and 86.4% ±12.5% while the mean RUST scores were 5.4±1.4,8.7±1.1 and 10.3 ± 1.1,respectively.In group B at 1-month,3-month and 6-month follow-ups,the weight-bearing status was 53.8% ± 11.0%,84.1% ± 12.2% and 94.4% ± 10.6% while the mean RUST scores were 6.5 ± 0.8,9.9 ± 0.9 and 11.3 ± 0.8,respectively.There were significant differences between the 2 groups in the above indexes (all P < 0.05).Group B achieved clinical fracture union after an average of 3.3 ±0.7 months,significantly faster than group A (3.9 ± 1.0 months) (P < 0.05).According to the Johner-Wruhs scoring,group A had 19 excellent cases and 12 good ones while group B had 27 excellent ones and 4 good ones,showing a significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0.05).Conclusions Early application of our self-designed adjustable weight-bearing brace for patients with AO type B tibial shaft fracture managed by interlocking intramedullary nail can reduce postoperative pain,accelerate callus growth,shorten bony healing time and achieve satisfactory functional recovery.
