Objective To study the effect of PPARγ ligand troglitazone (TGZ) on invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells, and investigate the relationship of PPARγ ligand with gastric cancer.Methods The expression of PPARγ in gastric cancer cell line MGC803 were detected by immunofluorescence cytochemistry method. The effect of different density TGZ on proliferation activity and adhesion of gastric cancer cell were detected by MTT chromatometry. The effect of different ligands on invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cell MGC803 were detected by invasion system in vitro. Results The expression of PPARγ mainly located in cell nucleus. TGZ inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer cell, decreased cell adhesion, locomotory capacity and invasion to matrigel, which had time and dose-dependent relationship.When treatment with 0. 1,1.0 and 10μ mol/ L TGZ, inhibition ratio of invasion and metastasis of cell was 8.79% ,31.31% ,51.42% and 28.29% ,4. 27% ,59. 27% respectively, which had statistical significance compared with control group( P <0. 05). When treatment was 10μ mol/L TGZ, cell adhesion was 0. 32 ±0. 03, it was statistically significant higher than that in control group (0. 52 ± 0. 04, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion Human gastric cancer cell line MGC803 expressed functional PPARγ protein. TGZ inhibited adhesion and invasion of MGC803 cell on ECM at different degree, the effect of combination of two ligands was evident, which mechanism of action needed to be further investigated.

Objective To explore the correlation between global end diastolic volume index(GEDI)and central venous pressure(CVP)of severe sepsis patients during fluid resuscitation by pulse induced continuous cardiac output(PiCCO )test. Methods Sixty-four severe sepsis patients had been treated by fluid resuscitation strictly in accordance with the guidelines for treatment of sepsis in 2008. During the treatment,GEDI and corresponding CVP data were measured and recorded to observe the correctness of volume reaction under different CVP ranges,and the relativity between GEDI and CVP was analyzed. Results In the whole process of monitoring circulatory blood volume,no significant correlation between CVP and GEDI(r=-0.012,P>0.05)was found in severe patients with severe sepsis. When the CVP was in 0-8 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)or greater than 12 mm Hg,there was no correlation with the GEDI(r=-0.009,-0.020,respectively,both P>0.05). When the CVP was in 8-12 mm Hg at the 6 hours resuscitation target required by the guidelines,there was an obvious positive correlation between CVP and GEDI(r=0.653,P<0.01). Conclusion CVP is not suitable to be an exclusive target indicator for fluid resuscitation volume.

ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of evidence-based nursing in improvement of unhealthy emotion and treatment compliance of patients undergoing painless gastroscopy. Methods134 patients from May 2008 to December 2010 undergoing painless gastroscopy were chosen as study object.According to voluntariness of the patients and their families,they were divided into the evidence-based nursing group (70 cases) and the routine psychological care group (68 cases).The satisfaction degree with nursing,unhealthy emotion,and the compliance during treatment process were evaluated with SAS and SDS.ResultsThe satisfaction degree of patients in the evidence-based nursing group was 92.86％,higher than 79.41％ in the routine psychological care group.No significant difference was shown in SAS and SDS score before treatment between two groups,but unhealthy emotion and treatment compliance after treatment significantly improved,and the improvement degree of the evidence-based nursing group was more evident. ConclusionsApplication of evidence-based care model in painless gastroscopy has more obvious advantages in improvement of unhealthy emotions and treatment compliance compared with routine nursing.It has more important value for clinical practice and is more conducive to improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects of allografi and rhBMP-2 in posterolateral lumbar spinal fusion in a rabbit model.Methods Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:autogenous lilac crest bone graft group,rhBMP-2/allograft composite group,and allograft group.The animals were killed and sampled six weeks after the surgery.The lumbar intertransverse process fusion for the animals was assessed by manual palpation,biomechanical testing,radiography,histology and quantitative histology of spine fusion mass in a 6-week observation.Results The ratio of fusion in rhBMP-2/allograft composite group(90%)was significantly higher than that in autogenous lilac crest bone graft group(40%)and allograft group(20%)(P＜0.05).The autogenous lilac crest bone graft group and rhBMP-2/allograft composite group showed significantly higher uniaxial tensile strength than allograft group.The au- togenous lilac crest bone graft group and rhBMP-2/allograft composite group also showed significantly more new bone formation than allograft group,but there was no significant difference between the former two grnups.Conclusion rhBMP-2/allograft composite may be an ideal substitute for autograft in lumbar spinal fusion.

Objective To examine the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in incipient female patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and study the relationship between MS and disease activity of RA. Methods The clinical data of 102 incipient female RA patients (RA group) and 125 healthy controls (control group) were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of MS was compared between 2 groups, and the clinical and laboratory data were analyzed between patients with MS and patients without MS. Results There were no statistical differences in age, body mess index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidences of waist circumference ≥ 80 cm, TG ≥ 1.70 mmol/L, HDL-C ≤ 1.30 mmol/L, MS according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ (NCEP-ATPⅢ) standard and MS according to the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS) standard in RA group were significantly higher than those in control group: 39.2% (40/102) vs. 25.6% (32/125), 37.3% (38/102) vs. 24.0%(30/125), 34.3%(35/102) vs. 21.6%(27/125), 34.3%(35/102) vs. 22.4%(28/125) and 27.5%(28/102) vs. 16.0% (20/125)%, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the incidences of BMI≥25 kg/m2, systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mmHg and FBG≥5.6 mmol/L between 2 groups (P>0.05). The RA patients were divided into RA with MS (35 cases) and RA without MS (67 cases) according to the MS diagnostic standard of NCEP-ATPⅢ. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood uric acid in RA with MS patients were significantly higher than those in RA without MS patients:(68.1 ± 26.3) mm/h vs. (40.1 ± 30.6) mm/h, 4.260 mg/L vs. 1.505 mg/L and (330.5 ± 69.1)μmol/L vs. (269.0 ± 67.5)μmol/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in age, involved joint number, rheumatoid factor (RF), hemoglobin and incidence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (CCP antibody) between RA with MS patients and RA without MS patients (P>0.05). Conclusions The incidence of MS in incipient female patients with RA is higher than that in healthy controls, and RA patients are more prone to abdominal obesity, TG increasing and HDL-C decreasing. The inflammatory index and blood uric acid levels in RA with MS patients are significantly higher than those in RA without MS patients.
