Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(09):-
Objective To determine the sensitization of Nicotinamide (NA) on None Focused Ultrasound (NFU) on GLC-82 cells in vitro. Methods The subjectives were divided into A、B、C and D four groups, group A was negative control, group B was treated with NA, group C was irradiated with NFU, group D was treated with both NFU and NA; MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of NA and its sensitivity for NFU on GLC-82 cells quantified by calculating the sensitive enhancement ratios (SER); Morphologic change of cells was observed with light microscope, fluorescence microscope and scanning electron microscope;Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentage changes of apoptosis and distributional percentage of the cell cycle of GLC-82 cells in response to NFU, NA and the effect of its intervention to NFU. Results The cytotoxicity of NA increased in a dose-dependent manner after 24-hour treatment, with the optimal dose range of 1 mg/mL~5 mg/mL. A sub-toxic dose of NA at 3 mg/ml was used in the subsequent experiments; After treatment with NA plus NFU, microvilli and filipodium of GLC-82 cells reduced, shortened and shrunk into corpuscule-shape; The apoptosis rate of group D was more than that in group B and C, with cell cycle arrested at phase S and G2.Conclusion NA can significantly enhance the effect of NFU on GLC-82 cells, which provides evidence for NA as a sensitization to NFU in clinic.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fracture in adolescents.Methods:From May 2017 to October 2019, 30 adolescent patients with femoral shaft fracture were treated at Department of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They were 20 males and 10 females, aged from 12 to 17 years (average, 14 years), with 13 left and 17 right sides affected. They were all fixated with intramedullary nailing; open reduction and internal fixation was performed in 12 cases and closed reduction and internal fixation in 18 cases. Recorded were operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and time for postoperative antibiotic use; compared were lower limb length, neck-shaft angle, femoral neck diameter (FND), articular trochanteric distance (ATD) and Harris scores between the healthy and affected sides at the final follow-up.Results:For the 18 patients undergoing closed reduction and 12 patients undergoing open reduction, respectively, the intraoperative blood loss averaged 153.2 mL and 238.0 mL, the operation time 70.5 min and 91.5 min, and the time for antibiotic use 1.5 d and 3.0 d. The 30 patients were followed up for 12 to 41 months (average, 20.3 months). Follow-up revealed no such complications as fracture nonunion, delayed union, malunion, heterotopic ossification of the hip, refracture of the femoral shaft, or developmental deformity of the proximal femur. The lower limb length, neck-shaft angle, FND, ATD and Harris scores at the final follow-up were, respectively, 133.4°±2.3°, (29.3±4.2) mm, (27.1±6.3) mm and 96.4±3.6 for the affected side, insignificantly different from those for the healthy side [132.4°±3.5°, (30.2±3.6) mm, (26.4±6.8) mm and 95.6±4.7] ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Intramedullary nailing is effective for femoral shaft fracture in adolescents, leading to positive efficacy and limited complications and impact on the development of proximal femur.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and the effect of microsurgery in patients with acute spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (ASSEH). Method Five patients with ASSEH treated with microsurgery and confirmed pathologically were retrospectively analyzed. Results The main clinical presentations were root pain and palsy. The main manifestations of MRI were long-segment epidural lesion of high intensity in T1 and T2-weighted images without enhancement. With the microsurgery system, laminectomy via posterior approach and hematoma removal were successfully undergone with full recovery in all cases. Conclusions MRI assisted with the main clinical symptoms may aid preoperative diagnosis in symptomatic ASSEH. Microsurgery is an effective method for treating ASSEH. Postoperative (rather than preoperative) spinal DSA is advantageous for exclusion of spinal vascular malformation in treating ASSEH.

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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efifcacy of alarm treatment in a sample of China monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) children and adolescents with smaller than expected bladder capacity (EBC) for age.Methods Fifteen MNE pa-tients with a smaller than age-expected BC and without nocturia were included. All the patients were treated with enuretic alarm and water restriction 2 hours before sleep. All patients were followed up monthly. A success criterion was deifned as “14 con-secutive dry nights” after successive 2-3 months treatment. A relapse criterion was deifned as “more than two wet nights every two weeks” after therapy discontinuation. The relapsed patients were treated with enuretic alarm and followed up again.Results The patients consisted of 9 boys and 6 girls. The mean age was 9.76±4.24 years (6-15 years). Thirteen patients were successfully cured after three months treatment. Two patients discontinued the treatment and received the treatment of desmopressin. Five patients relapsed and received the enuresis alarm treatment again. Four patients had never relapsed, and one failed. The cure rate was 80%.Conclusions The enuretic alarm device is effective on MNE patients with a smaller than age-expected BC and without nocturia.

Screen small molecule peptide specific binding to small cell lung cancer cell (DMS53) was screened by using the "one-bead one-peptide" combinatorial technology. Thirty two positive beads binding to DMS53 were totally obtained after primary screening. Consensus peptide sequences of cXNGRXXc and cNGRXXXc were identified by amino acid sequencing in ten beads. Three representative peptides were re-synthesized on beads. Secondary screening showed that cell adhesion percentage of cFNGRQQc to DMSS was higher than the other two peptides. cFNGRQQc was further studied for cell specificity, alanine scanning and site-directed deletion. The results showed that cFNGRQQc is specific for promoting cell adhesion to DMS53 but not to other human cell lines. Both motif of -NGR- and the length of six peptide of cFNGRQQc structure are important for DMS53 attachment. In an antibody or peptide blocking assay, cell adhesion of DMS53 to peptide bead was not inhibited by antibodies or peptides including anti-integrin, E-cadherin, NCAM and ICAM. The binding site on DMS53 surface for cFNGRQQc peptide need to be proven in the future.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of hydrogen-rich saline on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in mice. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham-operated (SO) group, I/R group (mice were injected with 5 ml/kg saline by tail vein just before ischemia induction) and hydrogen-rich saline group (mice were injected with 5 ml/kg hydrogen-rich saline). At the 6th h after reperfusion, the sera and renal samples subject to IR injury were collected. The Scr and BUN levels in serum were determined and renal histological changes were also examined. The apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay. Malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in renal samples were measured using specific kits. The infiltration of F4/80 positive macrophages and neutrophils was assayed by using immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17 was detected by using real time reverse transcription PCR. Results As compared with LR group, at the 6th h following reperfusion the levels of Scr and BUN were significantly reduced (P<0.05), histological changes obviously alleviated (P<0.01), apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells and MDA contents was decreased (P<0.05) in hydrogen-rich saline group. Moreover, the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils, and the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17 in renal tissue in hydrogen-rich saline group were also declined as compared with IR group (P<0.05). Conclusion Hydrogen-rich saline can ameliorate renal IR injury to some extent, which is associated with inhibition of inflammatory response induced by reperfusion.
