Rat lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMVEC) were cocultured with rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC). The cultures were divided into 5 groups: normal group (N), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 2h (L 2), LPS 8h (L 8), LPS 16h (L 16 ), and LPS 24h (L 24 ). The activity of IL 6 in LMVEC and PASMC supernatants was determined by radio immunity method, and the expression level of IL 6 mRNA in LMVEC was detected with RT PCR. The results showed that the activity of IL 6 in LMVEC and PASMC was enhanced by LPS at L 2, reaching the higher level after 8 hour stimulation. Furthermore, the activity of IL 6 was stronger in homotypic groups than that of coculture groups. The expression of IL 6 mRNA in LMVEC was increased in L2 group, and highest in L6 group, but lowered in L12 group, though it was still stronger than that of N. It suggest that IL 6 mRNA and the activity of IL 6 in LMVEC and PASMC were enhanced in both homotypic and coculture groups by LPS. And the mRNA level and activity of IL 6 were higher in homotypic groups than that of coculture groups.

Objective To analyze the safety and efficacy of early diet after laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer.Methods A prospective study of 128 patients suffered laparoscopic surgery of colorectal cancer was done in our hospital.According to whether the adoption of early diet program,patients were divided into early oral group (EOF group,n=54)and traditional oral diet group (TOF group,n=74).Age,gender,preoperative nutritional status and other basic factors and postoperative ambulation time, postoperative hospital stay time,the number of cases the use of analgesics,complications of two groups were analyzed statistically. Results The first time of postoperative ambulation time and postoperative hospital stay time of EOF group were significantly re-duced compared TOF group [(1.2±0.8)d vs .(2.5±1.3)d]and [(3.2±1.4)d vs .(5.3±1.6)d](P <0.01).Conclusion Early diet after laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer is good for patients fast recovery,and postoperative complications of two groups are similar.

Objective: To study the classification of congenital velopharyngeal insufficiency(CVPⅠ).Methods:30 patients with CVPI were divided into 2 groups.The patients in group I were with submucous cleft palate,those in group Ⅱwere without noticible abnormality.A11 patients received oral examination and 1ateral cephalogram examination. ANS-PNS(1ength of hard palate),PNS-U(velar 1ength),PNS-PPW(pharyngeal depth),SPT(thickness of soft palate),need ratio, elongation and upward angle of soft palate were measured. Results:PNS-U was shorter and PNS-PPW was longer in the patients than in the health controls (P

Objective:To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and its receptor Flt1 in the process of mandibular fracture healing.Methods:The fracture models were made in the middle of the left mandible of 25 rabbits,then the specimens from the fracture site were taken 48 hours and 1,3,5 and 8 weeks after operation respectively. The expression of VEGF and Flt1 was detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.Results:VEGF mRNA, VEGF and Flt1 were detected in many kinds of cells in the fracture site from 48 hours to 8 weeks after fracture, and high expression of VEGF and Flt1 were detected from 1 to 3 weeks after facture.Conclusions:VEGF and Flt1 are expressed through the process of fracture healing, VEGF may play important role in the process of blood vessel rebuilding after fracture.

Objective To investigate the positive detective rate of interlobar node in the operation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to compare the effect of interlobar node dissection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with thoracotomy in treatment of lung cancer. Methods 108 patients with NSCLC who received the surgery by the same group of thoracic surgeons were collected from Aug 2012 to Mar 2016 in Guangdong Medical University Affiliated Kaiping Central Hospital. The positive transfer and detective rates of interlobar node in patients with different clinical and pathological stage were analyzed. Then the patients were divided into traditional open thoracotomy group and VATS group according to the operation mode, meanwhile, the number of interlobar nodes dissection in the two groups were compared. Results The positive transfer rates of the interlober nodes in patients with different clinical stage were ⅠA 5.7 % (2/35),ⅠB 5.0 % (1/20), ⅡA 14.3 % (3/21), ⅡB 13.3 % (2/15), ⅢA 29.4 % (5/17); For patients with different pathological T stage were T1A 8.3 % (2/24), T1B 9.1 % (2/22), T2A 12.9 % (4/31), T2B 14.3 % (2/14), T3 21.4 %(3/14), T4 33.3 % (1/3), and over-all transfer rate was 13.0 % (14/108). In pathology stage and pathology T stage, the number of interlober nodes had no statistical difference in traditional open thoracotomy group and VATS group (all P>0.05). Conclusions Even in the early clinical stage, the transfer of interlobar node may be positive. The transfer rate of interlobar node is correlated positively with pathology T stage. VATS can achieve the same effect in interlobar node dissection compared with the traditional approach.

Background and purpose:Brucine is one of the active components from Strychnos nux vomica,with signifi cant analgesic,anti-inflammatory and platelet-aggregating inhibitory properties.Due to its cytotoxic effect,the anti-tumor effect of brucine has increasingly been appreciated.In this study,we investigated the impact of brucine on A549 cells proliferation,apoptosis as well as the underlying mechanisms.Methods:MTT assay was used to examine the cell viability,flow cytometric analysis and fluorescent microscope were applied to examine cell apoptosis,ELISA method was used to examine the effect of brucine on PGE2 release from A549 cells and RT-PCR analysis was used to measure mRNA content,western blotting analysis was used to measure protein expression and luciferase activity was detected to examine the effect of brucine on COX-2 promoter activity.Results:Brucine was able to suppress the proliferation of A549 cells and induce cell apoptosis to time-dependent and dose-dependent manner.To understand the mechanisms,COX-2 was identifi ed to be an important target molecule involved in the apoptosis induced by brucine because brucine could suppress the COX-2 mRNA,protein expressions as well as PGE2 release in A549 cells in a timedependent manner.Furthermore,overexpression of COX-2 abrogated brucine-induced cell apoptosis,in contrast,when A549 cells were transfected with COX-2 siRNA,the apoptotic effect of brucine was dramatically enhanced.Further analysis revealed that brucine was able to suppress COX-2 transcriptional activation.Conclusion:Brucine was able to induce lung cancer apoptosis via downregulation of COX-2.

Extended hemilaminectomy was performed in the treatment of compression of the cervical spinal cord produced by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, multilevel degeneration and protrusion of the intervertebral discs and simple spinal canal stenosis. The results showed that with this operation the cross sectional area of the spinal canal was enlarged by 50% of the original, and the sagittal diameter lengthened 2,5mm postoperatively, so the compression of the. spinal cord was relieved. Since the function of the spinal process, the supra-and interspinal ligaments and the structure of one side of the lamina were preserved, mechanical stability of the cervical spine was maintained.

Objective To explore the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of Wunderlich syndrome (WS).Methods Fifteen patients with WS were included from September 2008 to February 2014, and their clinical features, diagnosis and treatment were retrospectively reviewed.The most common clinical manifestations were flank or abdominal pain (15/15), hypovolemic shock (5/15), gross hematuria (4/15) and percussion pain on kidney region ( 15/15 ) .Laboratory tests showed anemia ( 9/15 ) and coagulation abnormalities (5/15).Five of 15 cases were critical patients with moderate to severe shock ( systolic blood pressure≤90 mmHg, 1 mmHg =0.133 kPa ) accompanied with severe anemia ( Hb <60 g/L ) and coagulation abnormalities.Results In the acute stage, the diagnostic ratios of ultrasonography and contrast enhanced CT for WS were 11/15 and 15/15, and cause determination ratios were 4/15 and 10/15, respectively.The latter was significantly higher than the former ( P <0.05 ) .Contrast enhanced MRI was performed in 5 cases, and the results were identical to those of CT.According to the causes made by emergent imaging, critical patients underwent emergent operations or renal arteriography plus selective arterial embolization, and the other patients underwent conservative management, emergency operations, or renal arteriography plus selective arterial embolization, respectively.The causes of WS included angiomyolipoma (8 cases), renal cell carcinoma (3 cases), metastatic tumor of lung cancer (1 case) and renal cyst (3 cases) in this study.The mean follow-up period was 34 months.One critical patient died, and all the other patients were cured or relieved.Conclusions WS has no specific clinical features.Contrast enhanced CT or MRI is the main approach for diagnosis and cause determination, which is superior to ultrasonography.Treatments for WS vary according to severity classification and imaging diagnosis.
