Objective:The present research aimed to explore the involvement of ERK signaling pathway in apoptosis of hepatic carcinoma induced by decitabine combined sodium valproate.Methods: HepG2 cell line was incubated with decitabine combined sodium valproate and the inhibition rate was detected by MTT method.The apoptotic related protein and ERK signal pathway proteins were assayed by Real-time PCR or Western blot.Results: The HepG2 cell line was inhibited greatly by decitabine combined sodium valproate medication with an increased expression of Caspase3,Caspase9 and Bax (P<0.05).The expression of Ras,Raf,MEK and ERK1/2 was increased dramatically after incubation with decitabine combined sodium valproate when compared with control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion:Decitabine combined sodium valproate exert a significant inhibition on the proliferation of HepG2 cell line by nor-malizing the abnormal MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical problem encountered during pregnancy, which may be associated with serious maternal and /or fetal complications such as appendiceal perforation or premature delivery.Clinical presentation and imaging remains vital in the diagnosis of appendicitis.As a general rule,the clinical suspicion of acute appendicitis during pregnancy is an indication for an urgent surgical intervention.Appendectomy is the preferred treatment.Laparoscopic appendicectomy(LA)can also be performed safely and effectively in pregnant patients without bringing additional maternal complications.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of pancreatic fistula after laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of 189 patients who underwent LADG in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2017 to March 2018. Twenty-seven patients with postoperative pancreatic fistula and 27 randomly selected normal patients were included in the study. The preoperative characteristics and surgical data of all patients were recorded, including body mass index, visceral fat area, past history, preoperative tumor staging, operation time and bleeding volume, etc. The related factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula were analyzed. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between groups. Results:The patients with high body mass index ( t=3.956, P=0.003), high visceral fat area ( t=6.161, P=0.038), long operation time ( t=2.650, P=0.024), profuse hemorrhage ( t=1.887, P=0.042), complete lymphadenectomy ( t=2.092, P=0.001) were prone to postoperative pancreatic fistula, while there was no significant difference of visceral fat area/total abdominal fat area ( χ2=1.334, P=0.324), preoperative with pulmonary diseases ( χ2=0.750, P=0.379), coronary heart disease ( χ2=0.081, P=0.500), hypertension ( χ2=0.667, P=0.239), diabetes mellitus ( χ2=2.030, P=0.127), chronic kidney disease ( χ2=0.587, P=0.352), tumor stage( χ2=1.388, P=0.500) and other factors between the two groups. Conclusions:Obesity patients and LADG patients with long operation time are more likely to have postoperative pancreatic fistula. Comprehensive preoperative assessment and prudent intraoperative operation may be one of the effective methods to avoid postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Objective To investigate the influence of Norcantharidin(NCTD)on apoptosis-related gene expression of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.Methods The experiment was divided into control group,5-Fu group,NCTD group and 5-Fu+NCTD group.The inhibitory rate,apoptosis rate and expression of survivin,bcl-2,and caspase-3 were detected by MTT assay,flow cytometry and SABC immunohistochemical method,respectively.Results NCTD showed that the inhibitory effect on growth of SGC-7901 cells with a dose-and time-effective dependent manner.The apoptotic rate increased from(8.30?1.49)% to(20.56? 1.32)%.The expressions of survivin decreased from(86.57?4.39)% to(26.11?2.27)% and bcl-2 from(85.35? 3.25)% to(30.26?1.83)%,while caspase-3 increased from(54.49?3.07)% to(92.78?2.47)%,5-Fu had the synergistic effects with NCTD.Conclusion NCTD can inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cell lines.5-Fu had the synergistic effects with NCTD.The mechanism might correlate with induction of cell apoptosis via effect of the expression of apoptotic-related genes such as survivin,bcl-2 and caspase-3.

Cobalt or chromium alloys are the most common clinical materials of prosthesis and there have been some investigators at home and abroad have done related researches about the genotoxic effects of cobalt and chromium ions and nanoparticles. People have certain understanding about the mechanism of production of ions as well as their influence on cells. However, chromium or cobalt nanoparticles genotoxicity related research is still in its preliminary stage. In each stage, the mechanisms, from creating of the particles, through entering cells, until finally causing genotoxic, are still contained many problems to be solved. This article reviews the research progress in mechanisms of production and genotoxic effects of cobalt, chromium ions and nanoparticles.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of 153　Sm-EDTMP for multiple bone metastasis.Methods 32 patients with multiple bone metastases were treated with 153　Sm-EDTMP injected into the veins,0.4～1.0 mci/kg,of which 7 cases received therapy for 2～3 times.Results 53.1%(17/32)was relieved completely,25.0%(8/32)was relieved partially and 9.4%(3/32)was relieved slightly.No effects were found in 12.5%(4/32).The overall effective rate was 78.1%.Side effects that were the decreasing of WBC and PLT were found in 15.6%(5/32),which rose to the preoperative levels within 6～8 weeks.Conclusion Internal radiotherapy with 153　Sm-EDTMP is safe and effective in the treatment of multiple bone metastases.

Taking three Chinese databases (CNKI,WANFANG and VIP) as data sources,the paper retrieves documents about Clinical Pathway (CP) dated from 2000 to 2009 and dated from 2010 to 2015 as well as respectively performing the clustering analysis and strategic coordinate analysis of high-frequency keywords on dereplicated document set,summarizes the study hotspots of documents about CP in China.

Objective To seek an effective method for the treatment of grade ⅢB tibial fractures.Method From Oct. 1985 to Oct.1999, 26 cases of grade ⅢB tibial fractures were treated by early soft tissue coverage(including 12 cases of free muscle flaps and 14 cases of local muscle flaps), early fracture fixation(including 21 cases of external fixation and 5 cases of non-reamed intramedullary nail) and early bone grafting(15 cases).Results The follow up duration were from 10 to 32 months with an average of 15.5 months. The success rates of free and local muscle flaps were respectively 91.7 %(11/12) and 92.9 %(13/14)?Infection occurred in 5 cases (3 cases of local superficial infection and 2 cases of osteomyelitis). The time for bone union were from 17 to 66 weeks with an average of 42 weeks. Conclusion "San-Zao"therapy,especially early soft tissue coverage and early fracture fixation is on effective management for grade ⅢB tibial fractures with the advantages of promoting wound healing and bone union and decreasing the possibility of infection.
