Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many vascular disorders. Hemodynamics cause the activation of inflammatory factors in the vascular wal , resulting in dysfunction of vascular endothelial cels and vascular smooth muscle cels, activating vascular wal inflammatory cascade. Inflammatory cels, especialy macrophage infiltration and secretion of enzymes gradualy weaken the vessel wal to form aneurysm, and even cause aneurysm rupture. Therefore, inflammation plays a key role in the formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysms.

【Objective】 To explore the therapeutic mechanismof arsenic trioxide(AS2O3),the active component of arsenolitumininhibitingtumor.【Methods】Humanlung adenocarcinoma cells(LAC) at logarithmic growth phase were culturedin vitro for 24 hours,and then were cocultured with arsenic trioxide(AS2O3) in the dosages of 0.75,1.0,1.5 and 2.0 mg/Lrespectively.Meanwhile,model control group was set up.The morphological features of LAC in different groups were observed under reverse microscope,growth-inhibitory rate of LAC was examined by methylthiazolyltetrazolium(MTT) assay,andthe expression of p53 gene was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method.【Results】AS2O3in different dosages obviously inhibited the proliferation of LACin a time-effect manner,and markedly increased the expression of p53 gene(P

Purpose The aim is to prepare the extract of immunocompetent cell proliferation from human placenta and to try to find out a suitable method of preserving the extract.Methods The extract was mainly prepared by heat-treating placenta homogenated fluid. Then the activity to stimulate murine splenic lymphocyte proliferation in vitro was done with MTT , exposing the extract to radioisotope 60 Co.Results The content of protein was 2~3mg per gram placenta measured by Lowry′s Method.The rate to promote cell proliferation was more than 80 percent.The activity lasted a few months after being exposed to radioisotope.Conclusion The extract prepared by heat-treating not only had high activity, but also had the unique method and good repeatability.This prepared extract as a kind of stable,reliable and remarkably promoting lymphocyte proliferation reaction had the value of development production on broad scale as well as in clinical practice.

Objective To study the relationship of carotid atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease and cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred and forty patients were divided into three groups: coronary artery disease(CAD) group,cerebral infarction(CI) group and control(C) group.All the patients accepted carotid ultrasonograph. Results The incidence of multiple plaques in carotid artery was much higher in CI group than in C group and CAD group(P

Objective:To research the influence and mechanism of Toufeng capsule (TFC) on the concentratioin of blood active substance and single amine neurotransmitter in the brain and blood of magraine mice.Methods: We chose animal disease model of migraine made by hypodermic nitroglycerin and measured the concentration of 5 HT. NE and DA in the rat's brain and blood by means of enzymeimmunoassay experimental methods.Results: TFC could obviously increase the concentration of 5 HT and NE in the bloold and of 5 HT, DA and NE in the brain.Conclusions: TFC might improve neurosystematic regulation functions and enhance the neurotransmitters' secretion and metabolism.

The hemolysin production of 19 strains of Streptococcus spp. isolated from pigs in the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions in recent years were examined. Eight isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2 from Jiangsu showed weak hemolysis on blood agar, but a stronger reaction in Todd-Hewitt broth(THB). The hemolysin belonged to the group of thiol-activated hemolysins. Nine strains of Streptoccus equi subsp. zooepidemicus showed strong hemolysis on blood agar and in THB containing 5% new-born calf serum, but no hemolysis in THB alone. This hemolysin was similar to streptolysin S(SLS). Another two isolates were atypical members of Lancefield group C Streptococcus and showed strong hemolysis on blood agar and in THB with 5% new-born calf serum, but the hemolysin was unlike either streptolysin O or SLS.

Objective:To study the indications and clinical efficacy of video assisted small incision in treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 27 patients with infected pancreatic necrosis treated by video assisted small incision at the Department of Pancreatic and Splenic Surgery, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, from January 2018 to December 2019. The surgical approach, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and complications were analysed. Postoperative follow-up was carried out at outpatients’ clinic, and the patient's time to full recovery and long-term complications were studied.Results:The 27 patients successfully underwent the operations. There were 22 males and 5 females, aged (50.6±6.2) years. The treatment results were analyzed according to the different surgical approaches: the retroperitoneal approach group ( n=4); the omental sac approach group (n=14); the intercostal space approach group ( n=2); and the combined approach group ( n=7). The operation time was (85.3±31.6)min. The intraoperative blood loss was 65.0(45.2, 121.4)ml. The postoperative hospital stay was 23.0(12.5, 36.1)days. The incidence of complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above) was 14.8%(4/27). There were 2 patients in this study who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to postoperative hemorrhage: 1 patient responded well to conservative treatment and the remaining patient required interventional treatment. Another patient because of poor results, underwent debridement by laparotomy 2 weeks after the operation. There was 1 patient who developed grade C pancreatic fistula which was cured by surgical treatment 6 months later. On follow-up, 2 patients developed colonic fistula 2 weeks after surgery and 2 patients gastric fistula 1 week and 3 weeks after surgery. These patients responded to conservative treatment. Conclusion:With proper case selection, video assisted small incision could safely and effectively be used to treat infected pancreatic necrosis.

Objective To establish an in vitro skin sensitization test,human cell line activation test (h-CLAT),based on THP-1 cell line (a human acute monocytic leukemia cell line),and to assess the sensitizing potency of plant raw materials of chemical and cosmetic products by this in vitro skin sensitization test.Method THP-1 cells were cultured in vitro and exposed to 11 reference skin sensitization chemicals and 9 samples,by monitoring the cell viability,cell surface marker CD54 /CD86 and relative fluorescence intensity of cells surface after the cells was exposures to the substances,and to discover whether there is a positive reaction.At the same time,Buehler test was used to validate the results of samples tested by h-CLAT.Results 11 reference chemicals were distinguished correctly by h-CLAT.Among the 9 samples tested,7 samples were recognized as negative sensitizer and 2 plant extracted substances were identified as suspicious skin sensitizer.The qualitative classification of the 9 samples by h-CLAT test was consistent with the results obtained by animal test.Conclusions The h-CLAT-in vitro test can be used to replace some animal tests for the prediction of soluble skin sensitizing substances.
