Otjective To study whether there is the apoptosis of neural cells and the expressionof Bcl-2 protein in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in model of rats, for the further understanding the mechanism of the delayed damage of the neural cells around the hematoma after ICH. Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, ten in each. With the Group A as the control, the rest 40 were used to set up intracerebral hemorrhage model. The brains were taken out at 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours, respectively. Apoptosis cells were detected with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected with immunochemical stainging methed (SP). Results In the control group, no apoptosis cells and Bcl-2protein were detected. In rest groups, the apoptosis cells and Bcl-2 protein were expressed in different degree.Apoptosis rates verified and corresponded with the time after ICH, with the peak at 48th -72th hour after hemorrhage.The peak rate of apoptosis cells was (24. 50± 2.69)% and Bcl-2 protein expression was (20. 76 ± 1.97)% . There was significant difference between the experimental groups and control (P＜0.05), and no linear relationship between the apoptosis rate and the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Conclusion Apoptosis may be an important factor in the secondary trauma of ICH. There is a time leg after hemorrhage. All this is instructive to clinical treatment in time. Bcl-2 protein keeps increasing in a certain time after hemorrhage, but not synchronize with the cell apoptosis. This indicates that bcl-2 has the effect to reduce the apoptosis of neural cells.

Novel intraductal radiofrequency ablation for malignant biliary stricture indicated good therapeutic prospect.In traditional intraductal radiofrequency ablation,the radiofrequency catheter was placed through endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram under the supervision of X-ray.In February 2014,a patient with intrahepatic adenocarcinoma of the bile duct and malignant common hepatic duct stricture was admitted to the Shenzhen People's Hospital.The patient received cholecystectomy + choledocholithotomy + T tube drainage 3 months prior to the admission.The results of histopathological examination indicated reactive hyperplasia.The patient recovered uneventfully after the operation.One week before the admission,the patient had jaundice and umber urine and received choledochoscopy + common bile duct dilatation + histopathological examination + biliary stent placement.The results of pathological examination confirmed that the patient had intrahepatic adenocarcinoma of the bile duct.The patient received intraductal radiofrequency ablation through T-tube fistula under direct vision of choledochoscopy,and recovered well after the operation.Intraductal radiofrequency ablation under direct vision of choledochoscopy not only has the advantages of accurate positioning and real-time monitoring,but also facilitate cyclical repeat treatment.

Base on the Kawakita powder compression equation, a general theoretical model for predicting the compression characteristics of multi-components pharmaceutical powders with different mass ratios was developed. The uniaxial flat-face compression tests of powder lactose, starch and microcrystalline cellulose were carried out, separately. Therefore, the Kawakita equation parameters of the powder materials were obtained. The uniaxial flat-face compression tests of the powder mixtures of lactose, starch, microcrystalline cellulose and sodium stearyl fumarate with five mass ratios were conducted, through which, the correlation between mixture density and loading pressure and the Kawakita equation curves were obtained. Finally, the theoretical prediction values were compared with experimental results. The analysis showed that the errors in predicting mixture densities were less than 5.0% and the errors of Kawakita vertical coordinate were within 4.6%, which indicated that the theoretical model could be used to predict the direct compaction characteristics of multi-component pharmaceutical powders.

Objective To evaluate the association of Smad2/3,Smad4 and P-Smad3 protein expressions in tissue with liver fibrosis in patients with chronic HBV infections.Methods Liver biopsy was performed to determine the liver fibrosis grades in 131 cases of chronic HBV infections.Immunohistochemistry and semiquantitative analysis were applied to detect the expression of Smad2/3,Smad4 and P-Smad3 proteins in liver tissues.Results Smad2/3,Smad4 and P-Smad3 were detected mainly in fibrous septum,portal areas,myofibroblasts,sinus and cytoplasm in the liver tissue.The expression of Smad2/3,Smad4 and P-Smad3 was increased with the development of fibrosis ( r =0.81,0.58and 0.68,P =0.000),and a strong positive correlation was observed among three proteins (r =0.75,0.87and 0.84,P =0.000).Conclusion The expression of Smad2/3,Smad4 and P-Smad3 is correlated with liver fibrosis in chronic HBV infection,which suggests that the up-regulation of Smad proteins may be involved in the progression of liver fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of regulatory B cells (Bregs) in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer. Methods The peripheral blood was collected from 72 patients with lung cancer and 29 healthy subjects (as control), and the Bregs subsets (CD19⁺CD5⁺CD1d⁺) were detected by flow cytometry, the levels of IL- 10 and TGF-β in serum were determined by ELISA. Proportion of Bregs and peripheral blood levels of IL-10 and TGF-β were compared between lung cancer patients and healthy controls, and between the lung cancer patients in stage +Ⅱ and those in stage III+. The correlation between Bregs proportion and peripheral blood levels of IL-10 and TGF-β were further investigated. Results The percentage of Bregs was significantly higher in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients than that of healthy controls (5.01%±1.20% vs 2.78%±0.56%, P<0.01). The proportion of Bregs was found to be increased in patients in clinical III and stages (5.63%±1.04%) compared with those in clinical and Ⅱ stages (4.13%±0.78%, P<0.01). The IL-10 and TGF-β levels were obviously higher in lung cancer patients than those in healthy controls (2.34±0.79pg/ml vs 1.29±0.51pg/ml, and 56.64±6.93ng/ml vs 22.42±4.42ng/ml, respectively, P<0.01), and in patients in III and stages than those in patients in and Ⅱ stages (2.79±0.60pg/ml vs 1.71±0.59pg/ml, and 59.88±6.63ng/ml vs 52.10±4.37ng/ml, respectively, P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between the proportion of Bregs and the levels of IL-10 (r=0.69, P<0.01), but no significant correlation was found between the proportion of Bregs and the levels of TGF-β. Conclusion Increased proportion of Bregs and levels of serum IL-10 and TGF-β in lung cancer patients may imply that the Bregs are probably associated with the progression of lung cancer.

To develop an ophthalmic preparation of Shedan, an in situ forming gel was prepared with the formulation containing 18% of poloxamer 407 and 5% of poloxamer 188 by response surface designs plus central composite designs. The rheology results showed that LVE range gamma should limited within 0.5%, Shedan high-frequency region, and the thixotropy recovery time is less than 5 seconds. The phase transition temperature was 33.25 °C according to curve of storage modulus and loss modulus determined by temperature scanning. Surface tension and osmometer of it determined by surface tension meter and dew point osmometer were 36.43 mN · m(-1), and 320.6 mOsm · kg(-1), respectively. Fluorescein sodium was selected as the marker to monitor the corneal residence time, and the results showed that Shedan gel could prolong drug residence for 180 min. In line with zero-order kinetics, releases of muscone and salvianolic acid B in vitro depends on gels erosion. The results of rabbit ocular irritation experiments suggested that Shedan in situ forming gel was biocompatible and nonirritant. In conclusion, a novel Shedan in situ forming gel was developed and characterized for potential drug treatment of retinal vein occlusion.
