Objective To carry out a meta-analysis on the published data in order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane data base for systematic reviews and China biological medicine for randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of prophylactic antibiotics in patients with SAP from 1975 to May 2010. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Two authors independently extracted the data from these studies. The data were analyzed using the RevMan 4. 2. 10 software. Result In patients with SAP, prophylactic antibiotics did not reduce pancreatic infection (OR = 0. 67,95% CI:0. 43～1. 02,P = 0. 06), surgical intervention (OR = 0. 90,95% CI: 0. 60～ 1. 36 ,P = 0. 63) and mortality rate (OR = 0. 69,95% CI: 0. 41～1. 15,P=0. 16). Conclusion Antibiotic prophylaxis of SAP did not reduce mortality. It did not protect against pancreatic infection and the frequency of surgical intervention.

AIM: To establish an animal model for studying the development and metastasis of melanoma. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were used as host to receive melanoma cell transplantation. Three kinds of melanoma cell lines, B16F0, B16F1 and B16F10, cultured to prepare the cell suspensions, were transplanted into the mouse anterior chamber (AC) of the eye. The time of eyeball diabross, time of survival and metastasis of lymph node and lung were observed. RESULTS: The time of eyeball diabross in F10 group was earlier than that in other groups. The time of eyeball diabross was no difference between F0 and F1 groups. Metastasis was developed 18 days after transplantation in F1 and F10 groups, where the tumor cells was found in ipsilateral cervical lymph nodes. The melanoma cells metastasized to lung in all three groups 28 days after transplantation. The survival time in F0 group was longer than F1 and F10 groups. There was no difference in survival times between F1 and F10 group. CONCLUSION: The differences of three kinds of melanoma cell lines in tumor development and metastasis provided the evidence that was useful for choosing suitable animal model further to study the eye melanima.

2 cm) who were treated with endoscopic polypectomy in 2 different means,respectively.Methods The clinic data of 68 children with giant colonic polyps were review analyzed.Thirty-five cases were received endoscopic clips ligation and the other 33 cases were received endoscopic snare resection.Results All the 35 cases out of endoscopic clip ligtion group were sucessfully cured.There were only 3 cases showedl a little bleeding in this group.In the endoscopic snare resection group,there were 10 cases showed bleeding,8 cases showed polypectomy syndrome,1 case transferred into(operation).Conclusions The complication incidence in endoscopic clips ligation group is lower than that in endoscopic snare resection group.The endoscopic clipping brings about an effective and safe way to treat giant colonic polyps in children.

This study examined the effect of nicotine on the expression of mutant p53 (mt-p53) in bladder cancer rats. The rat models of bladder cancer were established by infusing N-methyl-nitroso-urea (MNU, 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 8 weeks) into the bladder. Pathological examination on the bladder was conducted to confirm the establishment of the model. All the bladder cancer rats were randomly divided into an MNU group and 3 nicotine groups. In the nicotine groups, the rats were intragastrically administered nicotine at different concentrations (25, 15, 5 mg/kg respectively) 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The mt-p53 expression was detected by the immunohistochemical method. The results showed that rat bladder cancer models developed histopathological changes of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. The positive rate of mt-p53 expression in the 3 nicotine groups (25, 15, 5 mg/kg) was 75.00%, 58.33% and 41.67% by the 14th week, respectively, significantly higher than that in the MNU group (33.33%) (all P<0.05). The mt-p53 expression rate was positively correlated with the medication dose and time (P<0.05). It is concluded that nicotine may play an important role in the development of bladder cancer partially by increasing the expression of mt-p53.

Objective To clarify the role of syk kinase in inflammasome activation in mouse peritoneal macrophages during Listeria monocytogenes (LM) infection. Methods Murine peritoneal macrophages were randomly divided into BAY treatment group, SB treatment group, WO treatment group, no treatment group and negative control group (NI). There were three wells in each group. The syk inhibitor BAY 117082, P38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and PI3K inhibitor wotamine were used to treat murine peritoneal macrophages for 1h in BAY treatment group, SB treatment group and WO treatment group. Murine peritoneal macrophages were infected with LM for 24 h except NI group. The protein level of interleukin (IL)-18 in the supernatant was detected by ELISA kit. The activation condition of key molecule ASC in the infected-macrophages cyto-plasm was observed under fluorescence microscope. The phosphorylation levels of syk protein kinase at different time points during LM infection were determined by Western blot assay. Results There was no significant difference in IL-18 protein level before and after BAY treatment in NI group (P>0.05). The IL-18 protein level was significantly lower after LM infec-tion in BAY treatment group compared with that in no treatment group (P<0.05). In contrast, there was no significant differ-ence in IL-18 production between SB treatment group, WO treatment and no treatment group (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the per-centage of ASC-speck positive cells was obviously diminished in BAY treatment group compared with that in no treatment group (P<0.01). The phosphorylation levels of syk were significantly increased in 5 min, 15 min and 30 min post-infection. Conclusion Syk kinase signaling is involved in the inflammasomes activation upon Listeria monocytogenes infection in mu-rine macrophages.

Novel aminopropyl-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilicas (APMO) were successfully prepared by co-condensation of 1,2-bis (triethoxysilyl) ethane (BTSE) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) with the template of cationic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium chlorine (C_(18)TAC) in basic medium.With the characterization measurements of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD),FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) so on,APMO had such advantages as good monodisperse microshperes,uniformly orderd mesopore and large specific surface areas.These mesoporous materials were directly considered to be the chromatographic stationary phases and analyzed by HPLC evaluation.During the research,the as-prepared APMO column had better permeability and three polycyclic aromatic compounds realized separation.In addition,the as-prepared APMO column had certain advantages in fast analysis.

ObjectiveTo compare the levels of sFas in the sera among Kawasaki disease (KD),incomplete Kawasaki disease (IKD),and normal control groups,and to analyze the relationship of sFas with IKD children.MethodsA total of 32 cases of acute KD and acute IKD children,and 20 cases of the control children were selected,respectively.The levels of serum sFas among three groups were measured using ELISA kits.Each child among the three groups was examined by echocardiography.Results(1)The levels of serum sFas among the three groups were[ (0.54±0.20)ng/L in KD,(0.55±0.16)ng/L in IKD,and (0.24 ± 0.04) ng/L] in control group,respectively.The overall means of sFas in the KD and IKD groups were higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant( F=29.276,P＜0.05 ).(2)The levels of serum sFas among echocardiography abnormal and normal groups were[ (0.65±0.19) ng/L and (0.49±0.10)ng/L],respectively; and the difference between two groups were statistically significant ( t=3.139,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsThe expression levels of sFas in the peripheral serum of IKD children were increased,and there was a close association of overexpression of sFas with the cardiovascular damage in IKD children.

Objective To explore the localization and expression of dopaminergic neurons in olfactory bulb of cynomolgus monkeys damaged by 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).Methods Three adult cynomolgus monkeys were injected with MPTP to induce the damage of dopamine neurons ( MPTP group ) and three adult cynomolgus monkeys were as a control group .Immunohistochemical staining was performed to examine the localization and expression of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb in normal and MPTP group monkeys .The numbers of DA-positive and DARPP32-positive cells were counted and the average absorbance was measured in normal and MPTP group .Results DA and DARPP32 positive neurons were concentrated in the glomerular layer ( GL) of olfactory bulb.DA positive nerve fibers were distributed in the GL while DARPP 32 positive nerve fibers appeared in all layers , and most nerve fibers were in GL and external plexiform layers (EPL).After MPTP injury, compared with the normal control group , DA and DARPP32 positive neurons and nerve fibers decreased in MPTP group and DA neurons and nerve fibers decreased significantly . Conclusions DA neurons and nerve fibers are in the GL of cynomolgus monkey olfactory bulb .DA neurons and fibers are significantly reduced in the olfactory bulb of cynomolgus monkeys damaged by MPTP , which may be associated with the dysosmia in Parkinson ’ s disease .
