Objective To investigate the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on the growth of human colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT116 transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice. Methods Nude mouse model of human colorectal carcinoma by subcutaneous transplantation of HCT116 cell line was reproduced. A total of 20 mice were divided into 2 groups: control group and CAPE group (oral administration of CAPE at 5mg/mice/d). The growth of the subcutaneously transplanted tumor and changes in mouse body weight in each group after treatment were observed on 7, 14, 21 and 28d. Histopathological examination of xenograft, heart, liver, lung, kidney and intestine of nude mice was also conducted. Apoptosis index was detected by terminal dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique. Results CAPE had significantly inhibitory effect on growth of the transplanted xenograft in vivo. Tumor volume and tumor weight were decreased (P

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of liver trauma.Methods A retrospectively analysis of clinical data of 160 cases of liver trauma, including 96 cases of blunt trauma and 64 cases of open trauma, was made.Results Among the 160 cases, one case with stage IV trauma and severe thoracic injury died 30min after admission. Among the other 159 cases, 45cases (9 cases of stage Ⅰ, 31 cases of stage Ⅱ and 5cases of cases Ⅲ) received nonoperative treatment, and 114cases (7 cases of stage Ⅱ, 67 cases of stage Ⅲ and 50 cases of stage Ⅳ) received operative therapy. In non-operative treatment group, the cure rate was 100 %(45/45). In operation treatment group the cure rate was 98.2 %(112/114), the mortality rate was 1.8 %(2/114), 1 case died of hemorrhage after operation and 1 case died of ARDS. Five patients with postoperative complications were cured, including hepatic abscess in 2 cases, biliary fistula in 2 cases, and hemorrhage after operation in 1 case. Conclusions B-ultrasound is the method of choice for diagnosis of liver trauma, and CT can be used if conditions permit. Cases of lives truma of stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ and some cases of stage Ⅲ that have stable hemodynamics, can receive nonoperative treatment under close observation. Some cases of stage Ⅱ, most cases of stage Ⅲ and all cases of stages Ⅳ to Ⅵ injury should preferably undergo surgical treatment.

Objective To develop a method for determining verbascoside in Mitonghua Granules by HPLC. Method Verbascoside was determined by HPLC method,Agilent ZORBAX-Extend C18 column (4.6 mm?150 mm,5?m) with Acetonitrile-1 %Acetic acid(13∶87) as the mobile phase was used for elution.The flow rate was at 1.0 mL/min and the detective wavelength was at 334 nm. The column temperature was at 30 ℃. Results There was a good linearity relationship at the range of 0.062 8～1.256 0 ?g for verbascoside (r=0.999 83) .The average recovery was 99.61 %,and RSD was 1.55 %(n=6). Conclusion The method is simple,reproducible and accurate with a good repeatability,and can be used for the quality control of Mitonghua Capsules.

Various questionnaires for screening diabetes in Chinese population were evaluated. Two questionnaires (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and Danish Diabetes Risk Score) were applied. Sensitivity, specificity and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for both questionnaires were calculated. The AUCs were 0. 760 (95% CI: 0.713-0.806) for the Finnish questionnaire (P<0.01) and 0.706 (95% CI: 0.647-0.764) for the Danish one (P<0.01). The sensitivities, specificities and predictive values of both questionnaires were not so good in the present survey as in the published reports. It suggests that these screening questionnaires must be modified to suitable for Chinese population.

AIM: To verify and localize the expression of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in pancreas of streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic monkeys and understand its important role in ?-cell destruction in the pathogenesis of diabetes. METHODS: Through an olig-microarray gene chip, NNMT was identified as the most obviously up-regulated genes in pancreas of STZ-induced diabetic monkeys versus controls. Semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to verify the differential expression at mRNA and protein level respectively. Then the cellular localization of NNMT expression within pancreas was identified by immunohistochemical(IHC) staining.RESULTS: An obvious high expression of NNMT at both mRNA and protein levels was shown in pancreas of STZ-induced diabetic monkeys compared to that of controls. Further localization of the protein by IHC staining in pancreas specimens showed that its altered expression was restricted to central islets, most of which were ? cells.CONCLUSION: Expression of NNMT is increased in islets of STZ- induced diabetic monkeys, which infers that NNMT might participate in the process of ? cell damage in diabetes probably through the mechanism of energy metabolism disturbance.

Objective To investigate the application valve of bFGF to improve the viability of trans-plantation flap in Wistar rat. Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups based on the age: group A,B(1.5 month old, every group was 12 rats) and group C,D (3 month old, every group was 12 rats). After an ischemic model completed, recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) was given to groups A and C in ischemie zone by vascularization flap injection and the equality of normal saline to groups B and D. 14 days postoperatively, the muscular tissue was sent for histology, the blood vessel density was calculated by image analysis, and positive VEGF was detected by immunohistochem-istry. Results The member of capillaries and positive VEGF were more in group A than that in B, and also were morein group C than D(P < 0.05), but there were not statistic difference between group A and C (P > 0.05). Conclusion Recombinant bovine bFGF can stimulate angiogenesis and improve the ischemie vascu-larization flap of rat, which is not associated with their age.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Percu Twist (PT) tracheostomy comparing with that of operative tracheostomy(OT)in intensive care unit(ICU). Methods Related data were retrieved from CBM,CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,PubMed,EMBASE,CENTRAL,and Web of Science from the time of their establishment to May 15th 2014,and the data of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)concerning PT and OT were selected. The risk of bias assessment and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Meta analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 12 RCTs were identified,and 893 patients in ICU were involved. The results of Meta-analysis showed that PT could significantly shorten the operation time〔mean difference (MD)=-15.11,95% confidence interval(95%CI)=-17.14 to -13.07,P<0.000 01〕,reduce the volume of blood loss(MD=-17.59,95%CI=-21.90 to-13.28,P<0.000 01),reduce the size of incision(MD=-2.20, 95%CI=-2.57 to -1.82,P<0.000 01),shor ten the time of healing(MD=-3.60,95%CI=-4.15 to -3.05, P<0.000 01),and reduce complications such as infection of the wound〔odds ratio(OR)=0.20,95%CI=0.10-0.44,P<0.000 1〕and cutaneous emphysema/mediastinal emphysema(OR=0.22,95%CI=0.10-0.47,P<0.000 1)compared with OT group. The funnel plot suggested that publication bias might be found among 12 researches. Conclusions PT was shown to be more effective than OT in ICU with lower incidence of complications. As number of RCT cases is still small with unsatis factory quality,further clinical use is warranted for a better assessment.

Objective To study the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on the expression of ?-catenin in the cultured colorectal cancer cell lines. Methods HCT116 and W480 cells were treated with CAPE at serial concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/L. ?-catenin protein expression was assayed by Western blot analysis. ?-catenin localization was detected by indirect immunofluorescence. Results CAPE treatment was associated with decreased total ?-catenin protein expression. The expression of ?-catenin at the cell nucleus and cytoplasm was downregulated, but at the cell-cell linked site the ?-catenin protein expression was upregulated. Conclusion CAPE can downregulate the expression of ?-catenin and inhibit the translocation of ?-catenin to nucleus, which may play an important role in the anticancer activity of CAPE.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect on stress response to indwelling gastric tube assisted by bronchofiberoscope and traditional way in patients with severe craniocerebral injury in intensive care unit(ICU). Methods 126 patients admitted in Department of Surgery ICU in Lanzhou University Second Hospital were randomly divided into bronchofiberoscope assisted indwelling gastric tube group(experimental group) and the traditional way of indwelling gastric tube group(control group), 63 cases in each group. In the experimental group, the rod of mirror, Olypus BF-P60, was coated with lidocaine gel, through the nasal cavity it was sent into interior, when arrived at epiglottis, the operator adjusted the mirror head and let it go into the esophagus(about 10 cm), then put a steel wire as a guide into a hole for biopsy, and simultaneously, as the operator pulled out the rod, the wire was continuously pushed slowly further inside; after the bronchofiberoscope was completely withdrawn, valelinum liquidum was used to ensure sufficient lubrication to the external and internal walls of the indwelling gastric tube ready to be sent into the stomach, afterwards the tube was slowly pushed along the guide wire to an appropriate location and then the wire was pulled out, the operator injected air, when he or she heard the gurgling sound as the gas passing water, fixed the tube. In the control group, the traditional way of indwelling gastric tube was applied. Before and after indwelling gastric tube for 1, 3, 5 minutes, the changes of systolic pressure(SBP),diastolic pressure(DBP),heart rate(HR), end-expiratory carbon dioxide partial pressure(PETCO2) and plasma concentrations of norepinephrine(NE), adrenaline, angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ), glucose(GLU) were examined.Results The plasma levels of SBP, DBP, HR, PETCO2, adrenaline, NE, AngⅡ and blood GLU had no statistical significant differences before operation in comparisons between both groups(allP>0.05). Compared to those before indwelling the tube, the levels of SBP, DBP, HR, PETCO2, NE, adrenaline, AngⅡ and GLU at various time points after the indwelling in experimental group were of no statisticalsignificant differences(allP>0.05), while the levels of SBP, DBP,HR, adrenaline, NE, AngⅡand GLU in control group at various time points after indwelling were higher obviously than those before operation, and the level of PETCO2 was decreased significantly compared with that before operation. The differences in the above indexes were significant between the treatment and control groups at 1 minute after indwelling〔SBP(mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa): 125.1±15.4 vs. 135.5±13.6, DBP(mmHg): 85.6±16.1 vs. 91.1±17.2, HR(bpm): 99.4±13.8 vs. 107.9±16.5, PETCO2(mmHg): 32.5±2.8 vs. 29.8±4.1, NE(ng/L): 365.4±29.7 vs. 475.7±49.9, adrenaline(ng/L): 75.4±7.2 vs. 83.6±7.4, AngⅡ(ng/L): 65.3±6.9 vs. 73.3±9.1, GLU(mmol/L): 10.1±1.9 vs. 13.4±3.0, allP<0.05〕; the differences in the above indexes remained significant between the treatment and control groups till 5 minutes after indwelling〔SBP(mmHg): 123.7±14.8 vs. 129.7±15.1, DBP(mmHg): 84.3±14.6 vs. 88.4±14.2, HR(bpm): 97.7±13.6 vs. 31.6±3.9, PETCO2(mmHg): 33.5±3.1 vs. 31.6±3.9, NE(ng/L): 363.9±31.3 vs. 457.7±48.4, adrenaline(ng/L): 74.6±7.8 vs. 83.5±8.5, AngⅡ(ng/L): 64.3±8.4 vs. 71.9±5.9, GLU(mmol/L): 9.6±2.3 vs. 12.7±3.1, allP<0.05〕.ConclusionCompared with traditional way, the indwelling of gastric tube assisted by branchofiberoscopy can induce milder stress response.
