Objective To detect the expression of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) in estrogen-induced rat prolactinoma and various types of human pituitary adenomas to explore the role of PTTG in pituitary tumor oncogenesis. Methods Rat model of estrogen-induced prolactinoma was set up, and PTTG mRNA level in rat prolactinoma was measured by RT-PCR. The expression levels of PTTG and bFGF mRNA in 32 cases of human pituitary adenomas were measured by RT-PCR as well. Results The expression level of PTTG mRNA in rat prolactinoma was obviously higher than that in control pituitary tissue(P

Objective To investigate the prevention and management of portal vein thrombosis following orthotopic liver transplantation.Methods Between May 1995 to September 2005,clinical data of 137 cases subject to orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed.Among them,there were 10 cases of portal vein thrombosis(5 cases in gradeⅠ,4 cases in gradeⅡand 1 case in gradeⅢ). All patients received an eversion thromboendovenectomy(ETEV)with occlusion of the portal flow u- sing a Forgarty balloon.Ligation of the collateral circulation,especially spontaneous or surgical sple- norenal shunt,was made as approaches to improve portal flow.Heparin or low-molecule-weight hepa- rin as a prophylactic anticoagulation therapy was maintained during and after operation if prothrombin time was less than 18 s.Follow-up Doppler ultrasonography was used daily in the early postoperative period.Results After a follow-up of 2～66 months,overall incidence of portal vein thrombosis was 2.92%(4/137).Surgical thrombectomy and revascularization was carried out in 1 case.Thromboly- sis,balloon angioplasty and stent placement via hepatic artery were performed on 2 cases.No treat- ment was given in 1 patient without hepatic dysfunction and portal hypertention.Mortality related to portal vein thrombosis was 0.Conclusions Portal vein thrombosis might be avoided by performing a complete thrombectomy as often as possible,by ligation of portosystemic shunt during surgery,and by postoperative anticoagulation.Close follow-up by Doppler ultrasonography may make a prompt di- agnosis and reduce portal vein thrombosis-derived loss of grafts.

Objective: To study the inhibitory action of Jiangru Power on rat prolactinoma induced by diethylstilbestrol.Methods: Prolactinoma Rat models were prepared by embedding estrogen subcutaneously.Then they were randomly divided into three groups,respectively given intragastric administration of placebo,Jiangru Power and Norprolac.After four weeks of treatment,all the animals were executed.Each pituitary gland was weighed.Serum prolactin(PRL) levels were measured by RIA method.Pituitary tumor transformed gene(PTTG) mRNA levels in pituitary tissue were measured by RT-PCR method.Results: The weight of pituitary gland and serum PRL level in Jiangru Power or Norprolac group all were obviously lower than those in placebo group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of tripterygium glycosides(TG) combined with tanshinone Ⅱ A(Tan Ⅱ A) on the level of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) ,yon willebrand factor(vWF) in serum in adjuvant ar-thritis(AA) mice. Methods Animal model of adjuvant arthritis was indwecd,after 3 weeks administration the mice were kiued and get serum. TNF-α, vWF were assayed by ELISA. Results TNF-α: model group and Tan Ⅱ A group are significantly higher than control group,TG + TanⅡ A group are lower than the other groups,there is no significant difference between control group, MTX group,TG group; vWF: model group have the highest vWF level, has significant difference between control group ,MTX group, TG group, TG + Tan Ⅱ A group and Tan Ⅱ A group, TG + Tan Ⅱ A group are lower than the other group. Conclusion TG + Tan Ⅱ A can improve cardiovascular damage of rheumatoid arthritis by means of inhibiting inflammatory factor expression.

Objective To explore the mechanism of apeptosis in rheumatoid arthritis synoviocyte induced by dihydroartemisinin. Methods Synovial tissues were cut from rheumatoid arthritis patients when who was under knee prosthesis. Apoptosis was detected with flow cytometry. Western blot was performed to assess ser473-phosphorylated Akt. EMSA (electrophoretic mobility shift assay) was used to ana-lyze NF-κB activation. Results Dihydroartemisin can induce apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis synoviocyte in a dose-dependent manor from 2.5μmol/L to 10μmol/L. Rheumatoid Arthritis synoviocyte cultured with dihydroartemisinin in 5μmol/L or 10μmoL/L can significantly in-hibit serine 473 phosphorylation in Akt and activation of NF-κB. Conclusion Dihydroartemisinin can induce apoptosis in rheumatoid arthri-tis synoviocyte through Akt signal pathway.

Objective To make nurses understand the essential factors of caring nursing service and satisfy the requirement of in-hospital patients. Methods To establish the plan of role-play test(RPT).The roles of patients were played by nurses. They experienced the caring requirement of patients, true feeling, the state of physiology and psychology, etc. Then we discuss and analyze the collected information to consummate measures of caring nufing service. Results The RPT deeped the nurses' understanding about essential factors of caring nursing service. The nursing quality and patients' satisfaction degree were improved compared with those of before(P＜0.05).The nursing complaints and service quality were also increased. Conclusion Application of RPT proved to be an effective way to deepen the caring nursing service.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of platform switching and platform matching system on the marginal bone resorption a-round implant.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)that compared marginal bone loss around platform-switched implants with platform matched prostheses were selected from PubMed,EMbase,CBM,CNKI and other electronic databases supplemented by hand search and retrospective collection of literature published or unpublished between 1 991 -201 4.The literature based on inclusion and exclusion criteria was screened by 2 revieweres independently,the quality of the included studies was evaluated,the data were extracted using RevMan 5.2 software for Meta-analysis.Results:1 4 studies with 1 331 implants were included.Meta-analysis showed that peri-implant bone resorption in the platform switching group was significantly less than that in the platform matching group[MD =-0.51 ,95% CI:(-0.72 -0.30),P <0.01 ].Subgroup analysis showed that the implant-abutment diameter difference >0.45 mm (unilateral)was more favorable to implant marginal bone preservation.Conclusion:The present data suggest that platform-switched technology is more conducive to implant bone preservation than platform-matched method.

Objective To improve the scientific literature novelty assessment by studying the characteristics and novelty of researches in clinical medicine.Methods The objects, levels, locations, methods and novelty of 380 scientific literature novelty assessment files in Library of Guilin Medical College from 2012 to 2014 were analyzed by chi-square test.Results The novelty of researches was mainly manifested as an effect index in 2012-2013 and as an in-tervention factor in 2014(x2=110.12, P<0.01).The novelty of effect index was mainly manifested as a compre-hensive index in 2012-2013 and as a sensitivity index in 2014(x2=44.10, P<0.01).Conclusion Understanding and keeping abreast of the characteristics and novelty of researches in clinical medicine can serve them better and more effectively encourage their innovation .
