BACKGROUND: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) can promote the repair of peripheral nerve. However, increasing the expression of NGF and MAG in the injured peripheral nerve by transgene technology has not been reported.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of NGF and MAG after adenovirus (Ad) mediated transfection in the injured sciatic nerve in rats.METHODS: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal, model, Ad, NGF and NGF-MAG groups. Sciatic nerve injury models were established in the latter four groups by cutting and suturing the right sciatic nerve. Afterwards, the rats in each group were subject to the intramuscular injection of normal saline, normal saline, Ad (1×108 PFU), Ad-NGF (1×108 PFU), and Ad-NGF-MAG (1×108 PFU), respectively, once every 2 days, for consecutive three times.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The expression level of NGF in the rat sciatic nerve in the Ad and normal groups was significantly higher than that in the NGF and NGF-MAG groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the Ad, NGF and normal groups, the expression level of MAG in the NGF-MAG group was significantly increased (P < 0.05). To conclude, the Ad-mediated NGF and MAG after double gene transfection were expressed effectively in the injured sciatic nerve in rats.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of Solifenacin on female overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms secondary to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection. Methods Seventy-three adult female patients who had clinically diagnosed as OAB symptoms secondary to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection were randomly divided into treatment group (41 cases) and control group (32 cases). Treatment group received Solifenacin , 5 mg orally qd , as well as OAB behavioral therapy , but control group was given only OAB behavioral therapy. The overactive bladder syndrome score (OABSS) was evaluated before and after antibiotic treatment in all the patients , and the treatment or observation time lasted four weeks after the antibiotic treatment were deactivated. Then OABSS scoring and the cure rate between two groups were compared. Results OABSS score of treatment group decreased significantly after receiving Solifenacin treatment one week , and the cure rate reached 56.10%, and two weeks later, the cure rate reached 92.68%. OABSS score of control group had no significant change one week after treatment and the cure rate was only 6.25%, but at the fourth week OABSS had decreased significantly and the cure rate reached 37.50%, which was still significantly lower than that of treatment group. There were no drug adverse events during treatment in both groups. Conclusions There is obvious clinical effect of solifenacin on female OAB symptoms secondary to uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection, which is safe and could significantly shorten the course of treatment.

Objective To investigate the influence of high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU) ablation therapy on pregnancy outcomes in the patients with adenomyosis(AM).Methods Twenty patients with AM and successful pregnancy after HIFU ablation in Chongqing Haifu Hospital from April 2011 to February 2016 were selected.Their pregnancy and delivery situation were retrospectively analyzed.Results After HIFU treatment,the symptoms of dymenorrhea and menorrhagia were significantly improved compared with before operation(P＜0.05).The average fertilization time after HIFU was(8.75 ± 6.23) months,among them 11 cases succeeded in delivery,5 cases had spontaneous abortion,1 case was ectopic pregnancy,1 case took artificial abortion and 2 cases were still in pregnant period all cases had no uterime rupture during pregnant or delivery period.Neonateswere healthy.Conclusion HIFU ablation is an effective mode for treating AM and can be used in the patients with AM and birth demand.

In order to investigate the inhibitory effects of Endostar (rh-endostatin, YH-16) in combination with radiotherapy on lung adenocarcinoma A549 in mice and the interaction mechanisms of combined therapy, the transplantation tumor models of A549 lung adenocarcinoma were established. When the largest diameter of tumor reached 1.0 cm, all nude mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: Endostar group, radiotherapy group, radiotherapy plus Endostar (combined treatment) group, and control group (n=6 in each group). The largest diameter and the vertical diameter of tumor were measured at different time points. At the 16th day, mice were executed, and the tumors were applied to analysis of rate of tumor cell apoptosis, and the expression levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and those of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by immunohistochemistry. The results demonstrated that the rate of tumor inhibition in combined treatment group was higher than that in other groups. And the rate of tumor cell apoptosis in combined treatment group was also higher than that in other groups. Meanwhile, the levels of bFGF mRNA and VEGF expression in combined treatment group were lower than those in other groups. It was concluded that Endostar obviously enhanced the curative effectiveness of radiotherapy on lung adenocarcinoma A549 in mice. The underlying mechanisms may involve the down-regulation of bFGF mRNA and VEGF expression to inhibit angiogenesis by Endostar and the cooperative effect of Endostar and radiotherapy to synergistically promote tumor cell apoptosis. And Endostar inhibits angiogenesis by down-regulating the expression of bFGF mRNA and VEGF.

Objective To analyze the Doppler indices of uterine artery at 11-16 weeks normal gestation. Methods Two hundred and ninty-seven normal pregnant women were consecutively recruited to take routine ultrasound examination at 11-16 weeks' gestation. According to gestational week, they were divided into 6 groups (11-11+6 weeks, 12-12+6 weeks, 13-13+6 weeks, 14-14+6 weeks, 15-15+6 weeks, 16-16+6 weeks). According to the location of placenta, they were divided into 3 groups (central placenta, right placenta, left placenta). Finally, the pregnant women were divided into 5 groups (RI<0.60 group, 0.60-0.69 group, 0.70-0.79 group, 0.80-0.85 group and ≥ 0.85 group) according to resistance index (RI). Doppler indices of uterine artery were measured in each case. Results (1) The PIm, RIm, S/Dm values (the mean PI, RI, S/D values of bilateral uterine artery) were decreased with the progress of pregnancy, but the difference of the RIm, S/Dm were not significant. Only the decrease of PIm after 15 weeks was significant (P<0.05). The mean PIm of each group was:11 weeks 1.96±0.39, 12 weeks 1.94±0.45, 13 weeks 1.79±0.43, 14 weeks 1.79±0.36, 15 weeks 1.51±0.43, 16 weeks 1.50±0.30. (2) The PI, RI, S/D values of uterine artery with placenta attached were lower than the other side. In the left placenta group, bilateral RI difference was-0.04 (t=-3.095, P=0.005), bilateral PI difference was -0.24 (t=-3.232, P=0.004), bilateral S/D difference was-1.00 (t=-2.965, P=0.007);in the right placenta group, bilateral RI difference was 0.04 (t=6.159, P=0.000), bilateral PI difference was 0.43 (t=6.614, P=0.000), bilateral S/D difference was 2.05 (t=6.378, P=0.000);in the middle placenta group, bilateral RI difference was 0.02 (t=4.150, P=0.000), bilateral PI difference was 0.14 (t=4.475, P=0.000), bilateral S/D differencewas 0.54 (t=4.376, P=0.000). (3) According to the RI, incidence rates ofα-notch detected:in<0.60 group both sides were 0;in 0.60-0.69 group, left uterine artery was 0.08, right uterine artery was 0.08;in 0.70-0.79 group, left uterine artery was 0.34, right uterine artery was 0.31;in 0.80-0.85 group, left uterine artery was 0.65, right uterine artery was 0.72;in≥0.85 group, left uterine artery was 0.81, right uterine artery was 0.87. Conclusion The uterine artery Doppler indices of 11-16 weeks maybe a reliable and non-invasive method for examining uteroplacental perfusion.

Objective To value the significance of TGFBR2 gene in mediating HepG2 cell proliferation by RNA interference technology. Methods Three kinds of siRNAs targeting TGFBR2 gene were designed, synthesized and transfected into HepG2 cells via lipofetamine2000. Among three kinds of siRNAs, only the one with the most interference efficacy was selected and the correspondent DNA sequence was inserted into plasmid pEGFP-N3. Then the recombinant plasmid of siRNA-pEGFP-N3 was transfected into HepG2 cell and western blot was used to detect the protein level of TGFBR2. Then, TGF-β1 was used to stimulate HepG2 cells with or without siRNA interference and proliferation of HepG2 cells was observed. Results Among these three siRNAs, siRN-1 appeared to be the most effective. After stimulated by 5ng/mL TGF-β1, proliferation of HepG2 cells showed a marked increase in siRNA-1 group compared with blank and siRNA-NC groups (P<0.05). For all that, the proliferation rate was still lower than that in normal HepG2 cell group without TGF-β1 stimulation. Conclusion By silencing TGFBR2 gene, inhibition of TGF-β1 signaling pathway to HepG2 cells could be decreased, thereby enhancing the cell proliferation.
