Objective　To observe the effects and mechanism of TNFα and IL-1 on protein catabolism of skeletal muscles of mice in the early stage of severe burn. Methods　A BALB/c mice model was established with full thickness scalded of 18%～20% TBSA including the back and one hind limb. The catabolic rate of protein of soleus muscle was reflected with the net tyrosine releasing rate. The changes of the tyrosine releasing rates of the injured and uninjured limbs, the levels of TNFα and IL-1 of the plasma and soleus muscle, and the activities of lysosomal proteolytic enzymes were observed in 72 h after scald injury of the mice. Results　After injury, the levels of TNFα and IL-1 of plasma, injured and uninjured limbs were all increased, and reached the summit at the 48th h, but those of the injured limb were much higher than those of the uninjured one, then gradually the levels were decreased in 72 h. The protein catabolic rate of uninjured limb was higher than the normal at h 48, but it came to normal level at h 72. The rate of the injured limb was higher than that of normal and uninjured limbs significantly 72 h after the scalding. hrTNFα and hrIL-1 enhanced the protein catabolic rate and the activities of lysosomal protrolytic enzymes in the soleus muscle of normal mice in vivo and in vitro respectively. Conclusion　In the early stage of scald injury, TNFα and IL-1 could enhance the lysosomal protease activity, increase the protein catabolic rate in skeletal muscle and promote the negative nitrogen balance directly. These effects may not depend on the actions of emergent hormones.

Objective To investigate the correlation of platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) from pretreatment in the Xinjiang Uygur patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods In this retrospective analysis,96 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with pathologically diagnosis were collected.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis suggested that optimum PLR and NLR cut-off point for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.The patients were divided into high-PLR and low-PLR groups,high-NLR and low-NLR groups,respectively.The survival rate was calculated with Kaplan-Meier method.The Log rank statistics was used to test differences between groups.The prognostic factors that may affect patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Uighur population of Xinjiang were analyzed by COX proportional hazards models.Results For high-PLR and low-PLR groups,5-year overall survival,and progression-free survival were 46.6％ and 79.3％,49.8％ and 82.7％,respectively;the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.01).For high-NLR and low-NLR groups,5-year overall survival rate,and progression-free survival rate were 41.3％ and 41.3％,50.8％ and 82.5％,respectively;the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.01).Univariate analysis showed that N stage,clinical stage,NLR,and PLR had significantly impact on overall survival and progression-free survival (all P ＜ 0.05);multivariate analysis showed that PLR and clinical stage had statistical significance in Uighur patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma for progression-free survival and overall survival (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions PLR may be independent factor that influences the prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Uighur population of Xinjiang.

Objective Differentiation of breast fibroadenoma from breast cancer is of great importance. The purpose of the ar-ticle was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in the differentiation of breast fibroadenoma from breast cancer in DCE-TIC ( dynamic contrast enchancement-time intensity curve) platform type ( typeⅡ) . Methods Between March 2014 and May 2016, 64 patients were included in our study, 19 patients with breast fibroadenoma and 45 patients with breast cancer. All the patients underwent DCE-MRI ( dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging) examination before operation. Morpho-logic characteristics, hemodynamic characteristics, EER ( early enhancement rate) and ADC ( apparent diffusion coefficient) values were calculated and statistically compared. Results Among 19 cases of breast fibroadenoma, 9 cases were round or ovoid, 8 cases are lobulated, 2 cases were irregular, 15 cases with clear boundary, 14 cases in mammary gland vascular enlargement, 2 cases of slowinflows, 4 cases of moderate inflows, 13 cases of rapid inflows, and the average ADC value was ( 1. 47 ± 0. 38) × 10-3 mm2/s. Low signal separation present in 11 lesions of fibroadenoma. Among the 45 cases of breast cancer, 17 cases were round or ovoid, 7 cases were lobulat-ed, 21 cases were irregular, 11 cases with clear boundary, 38 cases of mammary gland vascular enlargement, 1 case of slow inflows, 5 ca-ses of moderate inflows, 39 cases of rapid inflows, and the averageADC values was (0.98±0.40)×10-3mm2/s. The shape, (χ2=9.176), margin (χ2=16.452), EER(χ2=18.489) and ADC between breast fibroadenoma and breast cancer were of significantly difference. No significant difference was found in the increased and enlarged blood vessels. The success of ADC values in differentation of breast fibroadenoma from breast cancer was statistically significant( P<0.001), and the area under the curve(AUC)of the ROC, sensitivity and specificity of VE were 94.7% and 71.1%. Conclusion Breast fibroadenoma are in fast inflows in the early phase on the DCE-MRI, and there are differences in morphologic characteristics and mass enhancement ways between patients with breast fibroadenoma and breast cancer. Morphologic characteristics combined with inter-nal low signal separation contribute to the differentiation of breast fibroadenoma from breast cancer.

Objective: To research effect of different doses of Changle on the structure and function of rat liver.Methods: 180 healthy Wistar rats were divided into 5 experimental groups according following doses: 0.1,0.2,2.0,10.0 and 20.0 mg*kg-1,respectively, and the control group given physiological saline for six months. The changes of liver structure were examined by means of normal histological chemistry and transmission electron microscope(TEM). Results: The body weight of animal was linearly increased with the decrease of administered doses, gradual reduction of glycogen in hepatocytes and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the portal area were found in the group of 20.0 mg*kg-1. Changes of ultrastructure showed there were dense bodies and lysosomes containing dense granules in Kupffer cell and hepatocyte,and they were increased along with doses adding. Nuclei deformed, ALP and GPT in serum were rose in the group of 20.0 mg*kg-1. Different doses of Changle could lead to distinct biological effects. Conclusion: Long-termed administration of 20.0 mg*kg-1 Changle can lead to damage of structure and function of rat liver.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) in treating hemorrhagic apoplexy at super-early stage in rats.

METHODSRat model of hypertension with cerebral hemorrhage was induced by collagenase method. Sixty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: the sham operated group, model group, PNS high, middle, and low dose group, 12 in each; 4 h after modeling, PNS or normal saline was intraperitoneally injected into the rats every 12 h, the total is 5 times. Contents of water, sodium and potassium ion in brain, and the diameter of hematoma in rats of different groups were measured 24 h and 72 h after modeling.

RESULTSCompared with the model rats, nerve defect symptoms aggravated, the contents of water and sodium ion in ipsilateral cortex and basal ganglia were significantly higher, the content of potassium ion was lower and the hematoma diameter was obviously less in the PNS-treated rats (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONPNS may worsen the brain edema and increase the nerve defect score when it was applied at the early stage of cerebral hemorrhage, but could promote the absorption of hematoma, indicating PNS should be used cautiously in treating patients with large amount of cerebral hemorrhage at super-early stage.

Acute blood loss anemia is the most common surgical complication of total knee arthroplasty. Currently, alloge?neic transfusion has been the major method of managing postoperative anemia. Although allogeneic transfusion can correct anae?mic condition temporarily, it can lead to severe complications, such as postoperative infection, prolongation of physical recovery, increased length of hospital stay, and increased mortality. Perioperative blood management can effectively reduce blood loss and transfusion rate. These strategies mainly focus on three parts:therapy for anemia and autologous blood donation before operation;application of a tourniquet, antifibrinolytic drugs, topical hemostatic agents and acute normovolemic hemodilution during opera?tion; selection of reinfusion systems, restrictive transfusion thresholds, drainage and knee position after operation. Perioperative blood management should run throughout the perioperative period, which mainly aims at reducing blood loss and blood transfu?sion, improving prognosis, promoting the postoperative recovery and lowering the medical cost. Depending on the actual situations of patients, surgeons should combine different major characteristics of each strategy and weigh the pros and cons to make effective and reasonable individualized treatment plan.

Objective To investigate the testing capabilities of clinical transfusion laboratories in medical institutions in Beijing for the regulatory authorities to formulate administrative policies in this regard.Methods Experts assigned by Beijing Clinical Transfusion Quality Control Center made on-site inspections at the transfusion laboratories in medical institutions using quality control products.They recorded the complete testing process of the operators as well as the instruments,detection reagents in use and the testing results,with statistics and analysis made to the data so collected.Results The pass rate of these on-site inspections was lower than that of the external quality assessment.Some laboratories failed to complete the testing of the quality control products in time and the actual operations in some laboratories were inconsistent to the guidelines.55.9％ of level Ⅰ hospitals and 25.6％ of level Ⅱ hospitals were found with insufficient and inadequate instruments and process layout to meet the needs of clinical blood transfusion.Some of the technicians were found without sufficient trainings in their professional knowledge and basic skills,resulting in their poor competence against emergency cases and weakness in independent problem solving.In addition,the records of detection process and results were found to be substandard.Conclusions Transfusion laboratories in Beijing need to improve their testing capabilities in general.

Objective To evaluate the differential diagnostic value of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI) and diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) in adenosis of the breast and breast cancer.Methods 30 cases of adenosis and 45 cases of breast cancer with pathological verification were scanned with DCE-MRI and DWI.The MRI features of the lesions were analyzed, including shape,margin,T2WI singal, features of enhancement, time intensity curve(TIC) type, early enhancement rate(EER),peak time, background enhancement and ADC value.Results The irregular margin with or without spiculation and the heterogeneous enhancement were mostly seen in breast cancer (P=0.002,P=0.009, respectively).The TIC type Ⅲ, EER larger than 100% and peak time within 2 minutes were mostly seen in breast cancer(P<0.001).The ADC of breast cancer and adenosis were (1.03±0.24)×10-3mm2/s and (1.34±0.30)×10-3mm2/s respectively(P<0.001).The features of shape,T2WI singal and background enhancement had no statistical significance between adenosis and cancer(P>0.05).Conclusion DCE-MRI combined with DWI will be helpful to the diagnosis of breast lesions.
