Objective To observe the clinical efficacy ofWuzi Yishen Oral Liquid for female stress urinary incontinence.Methods Ninety patients were randomized into treatment group (45 cases) and control group (45 cases). The treatment group was treated byWuzi Yishen Oral Liquid, while control group was treated bySuoquan capsule. After three-month treatment, the clinical efficacy was observed by 1 h pad-test and urinary incontinence questionnaire scores.Results Compared with before treatment, the quantity of fluid loss of 1 h pad-test of the two groups was reduced significantly, and the symptom scores of urinary incontinence questionnaire were improved after treatment (P<0.05). The symptom scores of urinary incontinence questionnaire of the treatment group were higher than the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionWuzi Yishen Oral Liquid has obvious clinical efficacy for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

Objective To investigate the role of IL-11 and CTGF in bone metastasis of breast cancer.Methods A total of 180 pathologically confirmed breast cancer patients in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were enrolled,90 of which had bone metastasis.Twenty healthy people who took physical examination at the same period were adopted as controls,excluding those with endocrine or metabolic disease or other chronic diseases.Peripheral blood samples were collected and ELISA was employed to detect IL-11 and CTGF expression.Forty paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue sections from those with bone metastasis and forty tissue sectioned from those without bone metastasis were detected for IL-11 and CTGF expression with immunohistochemisty.Results Serum IL-11 level was (242.9 ±56.3) μg/L in the group with bone metastasis and (85.9 ± 35.7) μg/L in the group without bone metastasis,with a significant difference (F =43.532,P <0.01).Serum level of CTGF was (15.6 ±7.4) μg/L in the group with bone metastasis and (15.0 ± 7.0) μg/L in the group without bone metastasis,with no significant difference (F =3.007,P > 0.05).The rate of positive immunohistochemical staining for IL-11 in the group with bone metastasis (57.5%) was significantly higher than that in the group without bone metastasis (14.3%) (x2 = 36.626,P < 0.01).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of CTGF expression between the group with bone metastasis (17.5%) and the group without metastasis (14.3%) (x2 =0.370,P > 0.05).Conclusions IL-11 expression is correlated with bone metastasis of breast cancer.Breast cancer patients with high IL-11 expression are more prone to develop bone metastasis.

Objective To investigate the influence of double-effect activation of cholinergic antiinflammatory pathway on the liver injury and inflammatory response in obstructive jaundice rats by applying cholinesterase inhibitor and cholinergic M receptor blocker to activate alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.Methods 22 adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into three groups:sham operation (SO) group (n=6),bile duct ligation (BDL) induced obstructive jaundice with (BDL treatment group) or without treatment (BDL control group) (n=8 each).The medicine treatment group was given anisodamine (25 mg/kg) and neostigmine (25 μg/kg) daily via intraperitoneal injection after surgery,the control group was given equal amount of normal saline.The body weights of rats in each group were measured every other day.After 12 days,the rats were killed,and the pathological changes of liver injury,liver function and the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the serum and liver tissue were observed.Results The body weight of BDL rats was significantly lower than the SO group rats,and the growth rate of BDL treatment group rats was the same as the rats in BDL control group 3 days after the starting of treatment.The AST,ALT,bilirubin and gamma-GT levels of BDL control and treatment groups were significantly higher than the SO group (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between BDL control and treatment groups.The serum albumin level of BDL treatment group was obviously higher than that of BDL control group,but the pathological liver injury was significantly slighter.The gene expression levels of TNF-alpha,IL-1 beta and IL-6 in the liver tissue were significantly higher in BDL groups than SO group (P<0.05),but BDL treatment group was significantly lower than BDL control group (P<0.05).In addition the serum TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta concentrations of BDL treatment group and control group were significantly higher than the SO group (P<0.05),but the BDL treatment group was obviously lower than that BDL control group (P<0.05).Conclusion The combine application of cholinesterase inhibitor and cholinergic M receptor blocker to activate the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway can significantly inhibit the obstructive jaundice induced proinflammatory gene expression and liver injury.

Objective To investigate the interaction between uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) and host uroepithelial cells, define the role uroepithelial cells play in initiating and modulating the host response to infection with UPEC strain. Methods The human bladder transitional epithelial EJ cells were evaluated for their capacities to allow the adherence and invasion by UPEC132, a clinical strain isolated from Tianjin, China, and a cDNA microarray for 22 000 human genes was used to identify the gene expression differences between EJ cells infected with UPEC132 and uninfected EJ cells. Results Microscope observation showed that UPEC132 could adhere to EJ cells with the adherence rate of (73.20 ± 5.26)%. And visualization by confocal microscope revealed that this microorganism could be seen within the cells. EJ cells infected with UPEC132 changed mRNA expression of a total of 29 genes, including 28 genes up-regulated and 1 gene down-regulated. Of these, regulators of growth and proliferation, cytokines, and modulators of apoptotic responses were the most prominent. Conclusion The gene expression profiling of EJ cells is affected by the infection of UPEC strain. The differentially expressed genes may contribute to further investigate the interaction of UPEC and uroepithelial cells.

Objective:To investigate the causes, characteristics and treatment of maxillofacial trauma in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 470 consecutive maxillofacial records of the patients not older than 14 years was conducted. Data regarding age, gender, cause, anatomic site and treatment were reviewed. Results:Most of the patients were mals(335 cases, 71.3% ), with a male and female ratio of approximately 2. 5;1 of the injuries, 28. 5% were due to accidental falls, 17.0% traffic accidents and 10.0% sharp implementt cutting. Injuries of soft tissue often occurred on gingiva, cheek, lip and chin. Mandibuir fratures were the most common (55.1% ) of all bone fractures. Conservative therapy, such as closed reduction surgery, maxillomandibular fixation, was usually performed. Conclusion: ①Boys are more tendent to be victims of maxillofacial trauma than girls. ②Falls are the first cause of child victims. ③Gingiva, chin, lip, check and mandible are the most commonly injuried sites.

Objective:To explore the relations of psychological stress reactions to workplace violence and so-cial acknowledgement among emergency nurses.Methods:Totally 444 emergency nurses from 8 tertiary hospitals and 1 second A hospital in Beijing were selected.Psychological stressful reactions were measured with the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R).The social acknowledgment from general society and family to victims was assessed with the Social Acknowledgment Questionnaire (SAQ).Results:Among the 444 samples,96.8% sustained verbal assaults,43.2% underwent physical assaults,32.0% encountered threats,and 4.3% suffered sexual assaults.The results of ANOVA analysis indicated that nurses who suffered 3 types of violence had higher scores of IES-R than the ones who endured one type of violence and 2 types of violence[(22.0 ±16.1)vs.(15.4 ±15.6),(18.1 ± 16.1),Ps <0.01)].Similarly,those nurses who suffered 4 types of violence had higher scores of IES-R than the ones who enduredone type of violence and 2 types of violence [(33.4 ±17.1)vs.(15.4 ±15.6),(18.1 ±16.1), Ps <0.01].Regressive analysis showed that family disapproval,general disapproval,and violence types predicted psychological stress reactions,(β=0.13 -0.40,P <0.05,adjust R2 =0.27).Conclusion:It suggests that violence types,social disapproval and family disapproval may play vital roles in predicting the degree of posttraumatic dis-tress in emergency nurses after suffering from hospital violence.
