Objective To explore the influence of hematopoietic growth factors on the TBI patients in the conditioning regimen for stem cell transplantation,and to evaluate the effect of cytokines on treatment of acute radiation disease.Methods The usage of hematopoietic growth factors,implantations and the side-effects of the patients and donors of TBI in the conditioning regimen for stem cell transplantation were retrospectively analysed from 1990 to 2012,and the effect and side-effects of cytokines on the hematopoietic function recovery and stem cell mobilization were observed.Results All patients recovered from their hematopoietic function except one died due to the side-effecs.The median time of white blood cell recover was 10 d in auto-SCT and 12 d in allo-SCT in the G-CSF group.The median day of platelet recovery was 11.67 ± 1.53 in rhIL-11 arm and 13.70 ±6.27 in no rhIL-11 arm in the auto-SCT group.The incidence rates of dental ulcer and diarrhea in the TBI patients were 48％ and 44％,respectively.The occurrence of side-effect was rare in the period of cytokines treatment,but was over 50％ during stem cell mobilization.Conclusions Cytokines play very important roles in the hematopoietic function recovery and stem cell mobilization in the TBI patients.

Objective To investigate the role of autophagy and synaptophysin (SYP) in cognitive impairment in de?pressed rats receiving electroconvulsive shock (ECS). Methods Clean and healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were acclimatized to a standard laboratory environment for 7 days. The chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) was used to establish the rat model of depression. Behavior tests were conducted before and after CUMS to evaluate the depression and cognition level of rats. After establishment of the model, 24 rats were randomly divided into ESC group (group E) and depression group (group D) with 12 rats in each group. The rats in group E were administered 80 mg/kg of propofol (10 mg/mL) by intraperitoneal injection, followed by ECS treatment. The rats in group D were administered propofol by intra?peritoneal injection, followed by sham-ECS treatments. The above interventions were conducted daily for 7 consecutive days. After the interventions, rats underwent behavior tests as before. Subsequently, rats were killed and specimens were collected for measurements. Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine autophagy markers such as Beclin 1 and LC3Ⅱand ELISA was used to detect SYP in the hippocampus. Results Group E after ECS significantly increased the percentage of sucrose preference (68.2%±8.7%), rearing times (7.0±1.9), total horizontal distance [(569.5±70.0) cm], es? cape latency [(21.9±5.3)s] and space exploration time [(20.5±3.9)s] compared with group D or group E before ECS. There was no significant difference in these index between groups before ECS or in group E between before and after ECS(P>0.05). Compared with group D, group E had upregulated protein expression levels of Beclin 1 and LC3Ⅱin CA1, CA3, DG as well as the area near the hippocampus and increased SYP contents (P<0.05). Conclusions Cognitive impairment in depression rats following ECS correlates with activated autophagy and increased SYP by ECS.

Objective To detect anti-M3 receptor antibodies in primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome(pSS)patients and to explore its association with clinical manifestations.Methods Anti-M3 antibodies were tested in 70 patients with pSS,50 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)and 76 normal controls with ELISA and Western blot.The correlation between anti-M3 antibodies and other clinical manifestations was analyzed.Results (1)The positive rate of anti-M3 antibodies in pSS Was 47.14% using ELISA and 60.00% using Western blot in SLE 4.00% using ELISA and 12.00% using Western blot and in normal controls 14.47% using ELISA and 15.79% using Western blot.(2)The incidence of sehirmer test,tear break-up time(BUT),whole saliva flow rate,punctate epithelial erosions(PEE)on the corneas and external eye examination were not significantly different between the anti-M3 positive and negative groups.(3)The incidences of IgG,rheumatoid factor,SSB and fluorescence index(FI)＞3 were higher in the positive group than in the negative group using EUSA.Conclusion The positive rate of anti-M3 antibodies is higher in pSS than in SLE and normal controls and in some degree it has correlation with the lesion in salivary gland.

This study gave a detailed explanation of the mechanism and method for the application of the enclosed passive infraversion lavage drainage system.In this drainage system,the rinse solution was infused into the peritoneal cavity passively rather than actively.This guarantees that the output of the solution was more than the input of the solution.It is also a safe and effective system in washing severe bile leakage and pancreatic fistula in the early stage after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Objective To determine the risk factors for emergence agitation (EA) during the recovery period after general anesthesia.Methods One thousand and thirty-four patients of both sexes aged 18-89 yr undergoing general anesthesia were divided into EA group and non-EA group.EA occurring during recovery from general anesthesia was assessed by using Riker sedation-agitation scale.Age,sex,complication,education,medical history,ASA physical status,type and duration of anesthesia and operation,volume of blood loss,fluid replacement,urine volume,duration of stay in PACU,number of drainage tubes and so forth were recorded.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of EA.Results Thirty-six patients developed EA during recovery from anesthesia.The incidence of EA was 3.5 ％.Logistic regression indicated that high risk operation,premedication with diazepam,induction of anesthesia without midazolom and fluid replacement during operation were the risk factors for EA (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion High-risk operation,premedication with diazepam,induction of anesthesia without midazolom and fluid replacement during operation are the risk factors for EA during recovery from general anesthesia.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of clonorchiasis among residents of Huachuan Country,Heilongjiang Province and to provide a basis for development of control strategies.Methods From 2011 to 2012,cluster random sampling was performed to survey the incidence of clonorchiasis in Huachuan Country.Fecal specimens were collected and examined the clonorchis sinensis eggs by Kato-Katz method.A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect related information such as age,gender,occupation and eating habits.The infection characteristic was analyzed.Results Totally 884 patients with clonorchiasis were found among 2248 residents,and the infection rate was 39.32％.The infection rate in male[47.15％(611/1296)] was significantly higher than females [28.68％(273/952),x2 =34.55,P ＜ 0.01].The infection rate increased with age,which was higher in the 20-69 years old people,with the highest infection rate in the 50-59 years old groups[45.34％ (219/483)].Of the occupational distribution,farmers had the highest infection rate [47.24％ (420/889)],followed by cadres and staffs[38.38％(190/495)].Of residents with fresh fish eating history,the prevalence of clonorchiasis was 53.38％(150/281).Conclusions The prevalence of clonorchiasis is still high in Huachuan County.To reduce the prevalence of clonorchiasis,comprehensive prevention measures,health education and group chemotherapy should be carried out.

OBJECTIVETo study the inhibitory effect of chlorophyllin (CHL) on trans-benzo(a)pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) induced malignant transformation in human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE).

METHODS10, 50 or 100 micro mol/L CHL were added into the media during the cells transformation induced by BPDE, and the malignant degree of transformed cells were identified by the ConA agglutination test and the assay for anchorage-independent growth and tumorigenicity.

RESULTSAfter the cells were cultured for 25 times, the time of cells agglutination in groups treated with both CHL and BPDE was increased significantly; the colony formation efficiency in soft agar in groups treated with both CHL and BPDE (7.4 per thousand, 11.4 per thousand and 14.4 per thousand ) showed significant decrease (P < 0.05) in dose-dependent manner, as compared with that in group treated with BPDE alone (19.6 per thousand ). Cells treated with both CHL and BPDE or BPDE alone developed tumor in nude mice, a squamous carcinoma confirmed by histopathological examination. The volume of tumor in groups treated with both CHL and BPDE (0.43 +/- 0.13) cm(2), (0.22 +/- 0.04) cm(2) and (0.10 +/- 0.06) cm(3) was significantly smaller (P < 0.05) and dose-dependent, as compared with that in the group treated with BPDE alone (1.71 +/- 0.37) cm(3).

CONCLUSIONCHL showed significant antitransforming ability in human bronchial epithelial cell line induced by BPDE.
