Objective To study the efficacy and adverse reactions of the treatment on different types of infantile hemangiomas (IH) with different doses of propranolol .Methods One hundred and fifty cases of IH without contraindications were randomly treated with different doses of propranolol (low dose group:1 mg?kg -1 ?d-1 ;high dose group:2 mg?kg -1 ?d-1 ) under ECG monitoring inferior half an hour to breastfeeding taking ,and stay in hospital for observation for 6 to 24 hours after the treatment . The patients returned to the hospital for review every month(ECG and blood RT ;lung function in necessary) .Results The curative effect is better on strawberry IH than that on flat IH ,also better on deeply IH than that on superficial IH .The adverse reactions oc‐curred relatively slight in the low dose group and there was no significantly statistical differences on the treatment effects between the both groups(P>0 .05) .Conclusion It is safe and effective to treat IH with propranolol .

The full length cDNA of ?1,3 galactosyltransferase gene was amplified by RT PCR from the peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice, which was subcloned into an eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3 1/V5 HisA, and it was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The gastric cancer cell GC9811 was transfected with pCDNA3 1/V5 HisA?1,3GT by Lipofectamine TM 2000. The positive clone was screened by G418 for two months and confirmed by RT PCR. The gastric cells expressing Gal?(1,3)Gal epitope were detected by immuohistochemisty, and they were killed by naive antidoby specific to Gal?(1,3)Gal epitope. The results showed that the pCDNA3.1/V5 HisA?1,3GT was successfully constructed, and the transfected gastric cancer cells could highly express Gal?(1,3)Gal, which promoted lysis of the cancer cells by normal human serum.

To analyze the composition regularity of Carthami Flos-containing prescriptions of the Drug Standards of Ministry of Health of People's Republic of China-Traditional Chinese Medicine Preparations (the ministerial standards for Traditional Chinese Medicine) based on the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system (TCMISS, RZDZ No. 0389952). Efforts were made to identify 331 prescriptions containing Carthami Flos and summarize 16 attending functions and 10 commonly used drug combinations. Three commonly used drug combinations were selected for an in-depth analysis on Carthami Flos's combined administration regularity. Based on Carthami Flos's attending functions, its effects in paralysis, traumatic injuries and dysmenorrheal were compared to analyze Carthami Flos's core drug combinations for treating different diseases. The regularity of clinical administration and the characteristics of commonly used drug combinations were summarized to provide reference for Carthami Flos's clinical application and new ideas for new drug R&D. Carthami Flos prescriptions was mainly used to treat blood stasis and pain and mostly combined with drugs that could activate blood, promote the circulation of qi and dispel pathogenic wind to treat Qi-stagnation and blood stasis caused by various pathogenic factors such as wind, cold and dampness.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of highly conserved single-stranded RNA molecules that modulate gene translation. By targeting the mRNA of protein- coding genes, miRNAs play a critical role in neuronal differentiation, cell proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. There are a lot of miRNAs in central nervous system, which are not only closely linked to development, differentiation and function of nerve cells, also play an important role in nerve lesions and dysfunction after cerebral ischemia. Specific miRNA through their own changes affect their target gene expression levels after focal cerebral ischemia, involving in the protection against apoptosis in neurons and regeneration after cerebral ischemia. A full understanding of the specific microRNA function and its underlying mechanism in the brain can provide a new strategy for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of ischemic cerebral injury at gene level.

Objective To study the clinical significance of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2 ) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and seek the fixed value according which to decide if we should and when to give up.Methods This was a prospective,observational study.A total of 124 patients with cardiac arrest in or out-of-hospital from may 2003 to March 2009 in emergency department of our hospital were selected.All of them had definite etiological factors.Changes of PetCO2 in 124 cardiac arrest patients during CPR were tracked.Results The gender,age,rescue time in seventy-one patients with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after endotracheal intubation have a significant difference with that in fifty-three patients without ROSC (P ＜0.01 ).The PetCO2 of the survival were higher than that of patients without ROSC or with ROSC,but finally died (P ＜0.01 ).A fixed point 14.4 mmHg of PetCO2 after 20 minutes' CPR can be used as a reference value to guide CPR or predict prognosis.Conclusions Monitoring PetCO2 during CPR has a predictive value on the success of resuscitation.
