ObjectiveTo explore the effects of hemofiltration on serum enzyme (SE),endotoxin (ET) and malonaldehyde (MDA) of dogs with heat stroke caused shock.MethodsSixteen healthy male hybrid dogs were randomly divided into 2 groups,8 for each:as heat stroke group (HS group ) and hemofiltration group (HF group).Severe heat stroke model was induced with high temperature.The dogs were taken out of the heating cabin when it reached heat stroke level,and then observed under normal temperature without treatment.The dogs in HF group was immediately treated with hemofiltration.The changes of SE,ET,MDA of two groups of dogs were observed and the survival time between two groups was compared,ResultsThe time from heat exposure to shock was ( 107.00 ± 28.52 ) and ( 111.38 ± 22.24 )minutes in HS group and HF group respectively ( t =- 0.354,P =0.729 ).The SE ( CK,LDH,ALT,AST) of the dogs were all higher after heat stroke,and the dogs of two groups showed no siginificant difference (P ＞ 0.05).At three hours after heat stroke,the SE increased apparently in HS group and HF group,but the level was significantly lower in HF group. Before heat stroke,the serum ET showed no siginificant difference between two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).After heat stroke,the serm ET was much higher than before ( P ＜0.01 ),but there was still no siginificant difference between two groups ( P ＞0.05 ).At three hours after heat stroke,the ET increased both in HF group and HS group,but the level was lower in HF group.Before heat stroke,the serm MDA had no siginificant difference between two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).After heat stroke,the serm MDA was much higher than before ( P ＜ 0.0l ),but there was still no siginificant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ).After heat stroke in three hours,the MDA of HS group rose apparently while HF group slowly declined.The median survival time of HF group was 180 min while HS group was 75 min,the survival rate showed siginificant difference (P ＜ 0.01 ).Conc4usions HF can improve the prognosis of dogs with heat stroke caused shock,prolong its survival time,reduce mortality.The mechanism is probably that HF clear serum MDA,partially clear serum ET and then eventually reduce cell and tissue injury and reduce SE.

Objective To explore clinieopathologieal features and prognosis in a high grade malignancy group of colorectal mueinous carcinoma, signet-ring cell carcinoma and low-differentiated carcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis and follow-up were made on 148 patients with colorectal mucinous carcinoma, 55 patients with signet-ring cell carcinoma and 281 low- differentiated carcinoma treated in our hospital from 1988 to 2006. Obtained data were analyzed by SPSS13.0. Related factors underwent x2 analysis, survival analysis were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the Log-rank test. Results Coloreetal signet-ring cell carcinoma were significantly different from mucinous carcinoma and low- differentiated carcinoma in gender, age, tumor location, bowel obstruction, operative modus, tumor embolism, tumor infiltration and lymph node metastasis(x2 = 7, 67,38.4,86.0,14.5,93.7,17.3,62. 1,24. 4,56.17 ,P <0.05). Median survival time was 24 months in signet-ring cell carcinoma, 47 months in mueinous carcinoma and 49 months in low- differentiated carcinoma. The difference is of significance(x2 = 21.3, P < 0.05). Conclusions Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma, mueinous carcinoma and low- differentiated carcinoma is of significant difference(P < 0.05). Malignancy of signet-ring cell carcinoma is higher with worse prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with low immunogenicity, can regulate cellular immunity and mitigate graft rejection, which has a good prospect in tissue engineering. However, it is rarely present in bone marrow. OBJECTIVE: To explore an isolation and culture method of the rabbit bone marrow-derived MSCs, to observe the biological characteristics and differentiation potential of bone marrow-derived MSCs.METHODS: MSCs were isolated from rabbit tibia bone marrow by combination of gradient centrifugation and different adherent method, then proliferation in vitro. Morphology was examined by phase contrast microscopy, and the growth curve of cultured MSCs was drawn via MTT results. MSCs were treated with osteogenetic inductor (L-DMEM/F12, 10% fetal bovine serum, 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 200 μmol/L vitamin C, 10 mmol/L β-phosphoglycerol), adipose inductor (L-DMEM/F12, 10% FBS, 1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 200 μmol/L antifani, 0.5 mmol/L IBMX, 10 μg/mL insulin), and chondrocytes inductor (L-DMEM/F12, 10% FBS, 10 μg/L TGF-β1, 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 50 μmol/L vitamin C, 6.25 mg/L insulin) to differentiated into osteoblast, dipocytes and chondrocytes. And the differentiated cells were identified by alkaline phosphatase staining, oil red O staining, and toluidine blue staining, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bone marrow-derived MSCs can be isolated and cultured by the combination of gradient centrifugation and different adherent method in vitro, which have the better potentiality of proliferation and multi-directional differentiation. Mostly of the primary and passaged cells were spindle-shaped. After osteogenetic induction, cells were positive to alkaline phosphatase staining. Oil red O staining showed that red lipid droplet existed in adipose cells, and toluidine blue staining showed that toluidine blue was positive after chondrocytes induction.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological characteristics as prognostic factors in patients with colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 62 patients of colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma and 281 patients of colorectal low-differentiated adenocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. COX Proportional Hazards Model was used in multivariate analysis. Results Colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma occurred more frequently in young patients and most of them located in the rectum. Gender, preoperative CEA, pathological type and liver metastasis were not statistically different from low-differentiated adenocarcinoma (X2=0.07,0.04,0.06,1.79,P>0.05).Bowel obstruction, operative modalities, tumor embolism, infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis were statistically different from low-differentiated adenocarcinoma (X2=8.96,75.1,18.5,72.0,7.44,P<0.05). Median survival time was 28 months in patients of colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma and 49 months in patients of colorectal low-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The difference was statistically significant (X2=12.51,P<0.05). Infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis, operative modalities and postoperative adjunctive therapy were independent prognostic factors based on a multivariate analysis of the COX Proportional Hazards Model. Conclusions The biological malignancy of colorectal signet-ring cell carcinoma is higher than that of low-differentiated adenocarcinoma in colorectal carcinoma. Radical resection and postoperative adjunctive therapy were effective treatment methods.

Objective To explore the causes of death and life expectancy after elimination of main causes of disease in residents of Tianjin. Methods The death registry data of Tianjin residents in 2014 were collected and coded in“international classification of disease, 10th edition”. The crude death rate and life expectancy after elimination of main causes of disease were calculated, respectively. Results In 2014, the crude death rate in Tianjin residents was 70.708 per million, while in male and female were 78.728 and 62.637 per million respectively. The main cause of death in Tianjin residents was non-communicable disease. The top four death causes were heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease and respiratory disease, accounting for 31.5%, 23.6%, 22.2% and 8.3% of the total death. The top four life expectancy lost diseases were heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cancer and respiratory disease, with a 6.46 year, 3.28 year, 3.11 year and 1.25 year life increase respectively. Conclusion Non-communicable diseases are the major reason of death and life expectancy lost disease in Tianjin residents, which needs urgent effective intervention to control.

Objective: To explore the acute effect of air pollution on mortality for patients with cardio cerebral vascular disease and to provide the basis for disease prevention and control.
Methods: The Mortality for patients with cardio cerebral vascular disease from 2001-01 to 2009-12 was from Tianjin Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the meteorological and air pollution data were from Tianjin meteorological bureau and Tianjin environmental monitoring station respectively. The Single and multiple generalized additive model (GAM) extended poisson regression analysis was performed to calculate the relationship between air pollution and cardio-cerebral vascular disease mortality by controlling the time trends, weather, the day of week and air population.
Results: Results: Single GAM analysis indicated that when the effect of SO2, NO2 and PM10 in the air reached the maximum in the day, the RR values for the mortality in patients with cardio-cerebral vascular disease increased 1.13%[95%CI (0.76-1.51)%], 0.78% [95%CI ( 0.41-1.15)%] and 0.61% [95%CI ( 0.51-0.71)%] respectively; when the average concentration of SO2, NO2 and PM10 increasing 10μg/m3 per day, after 0-5 days, the RR values for the mortality elevated 0.70% [95%CI (0.47-0.94)%], 0.51% [95%CI (0.27-0.74)%] and 0.16% [95%CI (0.06-0.27)%] respectively. Multiple GAM analysis presented that when SO2, NO2 and PM10 increasing 10 μg/m3 per day, the RR values for the mortality elevated 0.77% [95%CI (0.58-0.97)%], 0.41% [95%CI (0.05-0.78) %] and 0.38% [95%CI (0.12-0.64%)%] respectively.
Conclusion: The air pollution could increase the mortality risk in patients with cardio-cerebral vascular disease, it is necessary to establish the prevention system in order to decrease the mortality risk in those patients.

BACKGROUND:Breast cancer stem cells not only lead to theoccurrence of breast cancer, but also may cause breast cancer metastasis and recurrence. The relationship between stem cells and cell resistance is also gaining increasing attentions, and the focus on the stem cell treatment may result in unexpected results.OBJECTIVE:To explore the reversal effect of psoralen on glutathione-S-transferase π (GST-π) in human breast cancer MCF-7/ADR cells and its mechanism.METHODS:MCF-7/ADR cells were cultured and enriched in serum-free medium to obtain breast cancer stem cells.RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of GST-π at the levels of gene and protein in the MCF-7/ADR cells after treatment with 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 mg/L psoralen. To observe the activation of nuclear factor-κB,western blot was used. The expression of GST-π was detected by RT-PCR in 18 μmol/L SN50 group and 8 mg/L psoralen group. Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to detect the effect of doxorubicin on cell proliferation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, psoralen reduced the expression of GST-π at the mRNA and protein levels, and significantly inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB. It was suggested that psoralen could reverse the multidrug resistance of human breast cancer MCF-7/ADR stem cells by decreasing the expression level of GST-π. The mechanism may be achieved by inhibiting the nuclear factor-κB signal pathway.

Objective To study the characteristics of the solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT) ,and to improve the diagosis and management of SPT. Methods Fourteen cases of solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas admitted from Jan 1999 to Jul 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 1 male and 13 females. Tumors were all single and mainly located in the head of the pancreas (9/14, 64. 3% ) , tumors in the other 5 cases were in the body and tail of the pancreas. The average diameter was 7.2 cm, with no specific symptom. On CT scan tumors were of low density, well-circumscribed with calcification, solid tumors were enhanced slightly on contrast medium, but cystic tumors were not enhanced . Simple resection was performed in 8 cases. Partial resection of the body of the pancreas and pancreaticojejunostomy was performed in 2 cases. One patient underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 3 cases. All the cases were followed up for an average of 20. 1 months with no recurrences. Conclusions Solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas is of low-grade malignancy. Surgical resection is effective. Surgical procedures adopted depend on the location and size of the tumor. Complete resection results in good prognosis.

Objective To explore the effect of psoralen on topoisomerase IIα(TopoIIα) expression of breast cancer stem cells.Methods CD44+CD24-/low breast cancer stem cells were sorted from MCF-7/ADR by magnetic-activated cell sorting(MACS).We observed the growth characteristics of these stem cells through optical microscope and detected the growth-inhibitory effects of psoralen on breast cancer stem cells by CCK-8 assay and IC50 of adriamycin and adriamycin combined with psoralen to calculate the reversal index.The mRNA and protein expressions of Topo IIα were detected using RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.Results Under the optical microscope, breast cancer stem cells presented spheres.IC10 and IC20 of psoralen on breast cancer stem cells were (6.77±0.23)μg/mL and (10.36±0.21)μg/mL.IC50 of adriamycin and adriamycin combined with psoralen on breast cancer stem cells was (90.03±3.56)μg/mL and (21.47±0.82)μg/mL, the reversal index was 4.19.Psoralen significantly raised the expressions of Topo Ⅱα at mRNA and protein levels.Conclusion Psoralen reversed the resistance of adriamycin by increasing the gene and protein expressions of breast cancer stem cells Topo Ⅱα and the drug targets.
