In modern hospital outpatient management, patients should be paid more attention to than hospital management and economic management. Automatic and paperless management is also important. So, the software and hardware all should be updated to gain great social and economic benefit.

BACKGROUND:The metastatic potential of hepatocelular carcinoma cels is key factor influencing patient’s prognosis. To observe the effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels on metastasis of hepatocelular carcinoma is of great significance for improving the lifetime of hepatocelular carcinoma patients. OBJECTIVE:To explore the biological effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels on hepatocelular carcinoma cels with different metastatic potentials. METHODS:Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and hepatocelular carcinoma cel suspension with high and low metastatic potentials were respectively injected into the Transwel chamber, and after 36 hours of co-culture, ELISA method was used to detect the absorbance value as wel as cel counting method was used to observe the changes in the invasion ability of hepatocelular carcinoma cels. The effects of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels on the proliferation of hepatocelular carcinoma cel suspension with high and low metastatic potentials were determined using cel counting kit-8. PCR method was adopted to measure the expression of osteopontin, bone specific sialoproteins, integration (alpha V), transforming growth factor beta 1 and programmed cel death protein 5. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The number of migrated hepatocelular carcinoma cels was significantly lower in the co-culture group than the single culture group, and based on the semi-quantitative detection of invasion ability, the absorbance value of the co-culture group was significantly lower than that in the single culture group (P < 0.05). (2) The expression of osteopontin and bone specific sialoproteins was significantly decreased in the co-culture group with high metastatic potential (P < 0.05), but there was no change in the expression of integration (alpha V) (P> 0.05). In the co-culture group with low metastatic potential, the expression of osteopontin, bone specific sialoproteins, and integration (alpha V) were declined remarkably (P < 0.05). (3) Results from the semi-quantitative detection of proliferation ability showed that the absorbance value of the co-culture group was significantly higher than that of the single culture group (P < 0.05). (4) In the co-culture group with high metastatic potential, the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 was up-regulated significantly (P< 0.05), but the expression of programmed cel death protein 5 showed no changes (P > 0.05). However, in the co-culture group with low metastatic potential, the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 and programmed cel death protein 5 was both increased dramaticaly (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels reduce the invasion ability of hepatocelular carcinoma cels, and enhance their ability of proliferation.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of Ziyin Huoxue Granule (ZHG) combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics in treatment of radiation pneumonitis.

METHODSTotally 70 radiation pneumonitis patients were assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 35 in each group. All patients received glucocorticoids and antibiotics. Patients in the treatment group additionally took ZHG, one dose per day for 4 successive weeks. Watters clinical-radiologic-physiologic (CRP) score, Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPS) , and acute radiation injury classification [set by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)] were observed in the two groups before and after treatment. The application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAll patients completed this trial, and nobody dropped out or died. There was no statistical difference in Watters-CRP scores, KPS, or RTOG between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment in the same group, RTOG classification was obviously improved in the two groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, Watters-CRP scores decreased, KPS increased, the application time for antibiotics and glucocorticoids was reduced (P < 0.05). The efficacy of RTOG classification was better in the treatment group than in the control group, but with no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONZHG combined glucocorticoids and antibiotics was superior in treating radiation pneumonitis to using glucocorticoids or antibiotics alone in elevating Watters-CRP scores, shortening the application time for glucocorticoids and antibiotics, and improving patients' physical conditions.

Objectives To examine the association of the maternal high-fat (HF) diet with increased susceptibility to obe-sity and the development of metabolic diseases in their offspring, and observe difference in the effect of maternal vs. acquired high fat diet on metabolic state in their offspring. Methods A total of 15 SD female rats were divided into HF diet group (group H, n=9) and control diet group (group C, n=6). After fed on different diet for seven weeks, they were mated at the age of ten weeks and became pregnant. Their offspring were then divided to groups CH and HH fed HF diet and groups CC and HC fed control diet. At the age of 3 and 8 weeks, the metabolic markers and the liver pathohistological evidences of their offspring were obtained. Results The body weight, area under curve (AUC) of glucose tolerance, cholesterol and triglyceride were all higher in group H than those in group C (P<0.05) before pregnancy. The offspring of group H had a higher body weight than the offspring of group C at the age of 3 weeks (P=0.002), and no difference in AUC was found between two groups (P>0.05). At the age of 8 weeks, there was no difference in fasting glucose and insulin levels among the four offspring groups. The AUC and body weight were higher in group H than in group C (main effect of maternal diet, P=0.024, P=0.013). The AUCs were also higher in groups CH and HH than groups CC and HC respectively (main effect of acquired diet, P=0.041). The levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL at the age of 8 weeks were all higher in HH and CH groups than those in HC and CC groups (main effect of acquired diet, P=0.008, 0.007, 0.000, respectively). Their histological analysis at 8 weeks showed different degrees of fatty liver in HH, HC and CH groups, and normal liver in CC group. Conclusions Maternal HF diet may result in increased body weight, fatty liver and impaired glucose tolerance in their adult offspring, and thus increase the risk of developing metabolic diseases at their later age. .
