Methods After treatment with Xiaoaiping injection, viability of Caov-3 cells determined by MTT method. Phase contrast microscopy was used to observed the morphological changes of Caov-3 cells. Cell cycle was assessed by FACS. Cell signaling pathway protein-Akt and pAkt, and cell cycle associated protein-p27 were measured by western blot. Results Xiaoaiping injection inhibited the growth of Caov-3 human ovarian cancer cells in a dose and time dependent manner. Xiaoaiping injection induced G0/G1 phase arrest of Caov-3 cells, accompanied by pAkt down-regulation and p27 up-regulation. Conclusion Xiaoaiping injection can inhibit the proliferation of Caov-3 human ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the feasibility, safety and advantage of thoracoscopes pulmonary bulla resection without thoracic closed drainage tube according to the fast track surgery (FTS) theory. Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with pulmonary bulla were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 29 patients underwent the thoracoscopes pulmonary bulla resection without thoracic closed drainage tube (FTS group), and 24 patients underwent the thoracoscopes pulmonary bulla resection with thoracic closed drainage tube (tradition group). The oxygenation index at 24 h after operation, visual analogue score (VAS) at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay and hospital costs were compared between 2 groups. Results There was no statistical difference in oxygenation index at 24 h after operation between FTS group and tradition group:(312.4 ± 16.4) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (330.6 ± 13.2) mmHg, P>0.05. The VAS at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation in FTS group was significantly lower than that in tradition group:(2.6 ± 1.1) scores vs. (4.3 ± 1.6) scores, (1.6 ± 0.9) scores vs. (3.8 ± 1.4) scores and (0.8 ± 1.0) scores vs. (2.9 ± 1.4) scores, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay and hospital costs in FTS group were significantly lower than those in tradition group:13.8%(4/29) vs. 37.5% (9/24), (3.2 ± 0.9) d vs. (6.2 ± 1.2) d and (1.3 ± 0.3) × 104 yuan vs. (1.5 ± 0.4) × 104 yuan, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions FTS used in thoracoscopes pulmonary bulla resection is feasible and safe, and has certain advantages.

ObjectiveTo investigate sleep disorder of patients with depression and find out the regularity.Methods78 depression cases in the east-region of Shenyang were evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and mental health symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90). The results were contrasted with normal control group.Results63 depression cases (80%) had sleep disorder (PSQI scores≥8) and were significantly higher than normal control group. The PSQI evaluation showed that sleep quality, enter-sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, hypnotige drugs, function of daytime and total scores of PSQI of the depression group were significantly higher than that of normal control group (P<0.05～0.01). The SCL-90 test showed that scores of somatic, obsessive, depressive, anxiety, phobia, paranoid and mental-illness, etc. and total quota of bad-sleep quality group were significantly higher than that of the fine-sleep quality group (P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionDepression patients have significantly descent in sleep quality, latter is often closely related to the mental psychotic expressiveness of somatic, obsession, depression, anxiety, phobia, etc.

Objective To know phthalates(PAEs) pollution in drinking water of Nantong City. Methods With solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectroscope(GC-MS),main phthalates in drinking water were determined. Results Phthalates could be detected in all the source water, product water and tap water samples, mainly were di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP),ranged from 1.25 to 4.59 ?g/L and from 0.97 to 3.57 ?g/L respectively. PAEs levels in product water were less than those in source water. The highest removal rate of DBP was 50%. PAEs levels in tap water were higher than those in product water,sometimes even higher than those in source water. Conclusion PAEs can not be effectively removed from source water after general water treatment process.

Objective To observe the blocking efficacy of mother to child transmission (MTCT) in pregnant women with positive human immunodeficiency virus(HIV), and explore proper MTCT blocking mode for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.Methods Clinical data of 23 HIV-positive pregnant women in a hospital from 2005 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results All 23 HIV-positive pregnant women received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and comprehensive intervention for blocking MTCT of HIV.Among these women, 12 got pregnant after receiving HAART, 10 were detected positive HIV in early pregnancy (within 28 weeks) and then received HAART, 1 was detected positive HIV 28 weeks after pregnancy and then received HAART.23 HIV-positive pregnant women all delivered normal newborns, follow-up observation of babies found no HIV infection.Conclusion HAART for HIV-positive pregnant women is the key to block MTCT of HIV, combined with preventive medication and artificial feeding of newborns, HAART can effectively prevent MTCT.Mutual blocking mode, such as HAART for HIV-positive pregnant women by specialists, pregnancy check-up, and preventive medicine for infants provided by maternity and child care hospital, is highly efficiency.
