Objective　To investigate the direct antitumor effect of several surface molecules of Bifidobacterium bifidum 1101 such as whole peptidoglycan (WPG), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), and polysaccharides (PS) on human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line LoVo. Methods　MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterial surface molecules on the growth of LoVo cells. Morphological study, fluorescent polarimetry and differentiation-specific enzyme analysis were used to determine whether LTA treatment could induce the differentiation of the cells. Results　LTA but not WPG or PS significantly inhibited the proliferation of LoVo cells in a dose and time dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis by FCM revealed that LTA induced changes in cycle distribution resulting in G0/G1 phase commitment. Morphological alterations observed by light and electron microscopy indicated maturity of cytoplasm and nucleus following treatment by 50μg/ml of LTA. Membrane fluidity was also altered, and intestinal alkaline phosphatase specific for the differentiation of LoVo cells roused dramatically during culture in LTA. It was further found that LTA elevated ［Ca2+］i which resulted from Ca2+ influx instead of the release of stored calcium. Conclusion　These observations indicated that LTA was able to inhibit the growth of LoVo cells and induce the differentiation of the cells. Calcium influx may play an important role in this process.

Objective To study the effect of femoral offset reconstruction ON the Harris hip score and the hip ROM (range of motion) after artificial hip replacement in femoral neck fractures. Methods Follow-ups were conducted for 47 patients who had undergone artificial hip replacements for their unilateral femoral neck fractures. We took X-ray pictures to compare the femoral offsets at the affected and unaffected hips. The operated hips were evaluated by the Harris hip score. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS l2.0 software. Results The Harris hip score of the operated hip was positively related to femoral offset reconstruction(t=7.25,P＜0.001).There was a significant and positive correlation between femoral offset and the hip abductor ROM(r=0.80,P＜0.001).The rate of femoral offset reconstruction had no significant difference between total hip arthroplasty and bipolar hip arthroplasty (χ2=0,P＞0.05).Conclusions Reconstruction of femoral offset after artificial hip replacement in the femoral neck fractures can improve funetional recovery and ROM of the hip. Femoral offset reconstruction is uncorrelated to the selection of total hip arthroplasty or bipolar hip arthroplasty.

ResultsTotally 16 literatures including 1649 cases were eligible to the criteria (816 in clinical nursing pathways group and 833 in the traditional health education group)altogether.The Meta-analysis showed there were significant difference between the clinical pathway group and the traditional health education group in grasp of health knowledge,rate of patients,satisfaction degree,length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses. ConclusionsClinical pathways is superior compared with the traditional health education for hospitalized inguinal hernia patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum levels of C-reactve protein (CRP) with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Method Thirty-six patients with DCM were recruited as DCM group and thirty healthy people as the control. Serum levels of CRP in all subjects were determined by immunoturbidimetry. Results Compared with control group, the serum levels of CRP in patients with DCM were singnificantly increased by about 3.7 folds[(6.95?1.37)mg/dL vs.(1.89?0.38) mg/dL, P

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Nicked-Titanium Shape-Memory alloy net-like stent in the treatment of high risk patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia Methods 35 high risk patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with Nicked-Titanium Shape-Memory alloy net-like stent from 1995 to 1998. The results were analyzed retrospectirely. Results 34 cases of the disease were treated successfully at the first session, 30 of whom could urinate immediately after treated. 4 patients had a normal urination in 3 days after operation, the total efficacy rate being 97.1% (34/35). Conclusions The present study shows that Nickel-Titanium Shape-Memory alloy net-like stent for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia is a safe, efficient and ideal method. The long term efficacy of the stent is in progress.

With the development of transgenetic technology in the past few years, psoriasis virulence gene animal model become a hotspot. Research of animal model of human psoriasis genes is reviewed in the paper.

Objective To investigate and analyze the effects of problem-based learning used in clinical nursing education. Method The research papers on the effect of problem-based learning used in clinical nursing education were retrieved via CNKI, Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,ProQuest and Google scholar websites and then analyzed by Revman5.0 software.Results Totally 11 RCTs were included.Meta-analysis showed that PBL could significantly promote students’examination scores,self-study ability, critical thinking and clinical skill,but insignificantly improved the effect in improvement of their theory learning,interest and ability in cooperation.Conclusions PBL is a scientific clinical teaching method,which can stimulate students’initiative and exploratory learning and enhance effects of clinical teaching.Meanwhile,we suggest formulating evaluation criteria and implementing rigorous RCT designs in the future.

In recent years,thyroid cancer incidence increased year by year,after the effective prevention of iodine deficiency disorders in many countries,which caused widespread attention in academia.Whether is this increasing trend related to the implementation of policy of iodized salt in many countries? Currently,the association between iodine intake and thyroid cancer is unclear.This review article describes the metabolic and nutritional status of iodine,and the epidemiology of thyroid cancer,and further elaborates the relationship and the pathogenesis of iodine and thyroid cancer.

Background and purpose:The mutation of BRCA1 gene is widely acknowledged to be related to the incidence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between TNBC and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of BRCA1-associated genes. Methods:This study investigated the associations between the BRCA1-A complex genes and risk of developing TNBC in a case-control study of Chinese Han Women population including 414 patients with TNBC and 354 cancer-free controls diagnosed in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center during 2008-2011. This study also detected 37 common variants in Abraxas, BRE, Rap80, NBA1 and BRCC36 genes encoding the BRCA1-A complex and evaluated their genetic susceptibility to the risk of TNBC. An additional cohort with 652 other types of breast cancer (non-TNBC) cases and 890 controls were used to investigate the associations between TNBC-speciifc SNPs genotype and non-TNBCs susceptibility. Results:This study found that rs7250266 in the promoter region of NBA1 confers a decreased risk to TNBC (P<0.01). Compared with CC genotype, women with the GC genotype (OR=0.70, 95%CI:0.51-0.97) and GG genotype (OR=0.48, 95%CI:0.21-1.07) had a lower risk of developing TNBC (P=0.03). In addition, the haplotypes containing two polymorphisms rs7250266 and rs2278256 were associated with a lower chance of TNBC development. In the second part of the study, the result showed that there was no difference in rs7250266 expression between non-TNBC and normal people (0.19 vs 0.18, P=0.85).Conclusion:Genetic variants in NBA1 may be an important genetic determinant of TNBC susceptibility in Chinese women.
