Thirty cases of cerebral hemorrhage were treated by regular therapy plus hemotherapy with ultraviolet radiation as control, with another 30 such cases treated by the same method plus injection of Radix A. Senticosi. Results showed that the marked effect of treatment group was 96. 7% and total effective rate 100%. while that of the control group were 60. 0% and 83. 3% respectively, (P

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and the mechanisms of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (Fp) on trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid-induced colitis.Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into healthy control group, colitis model control group, Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group.Disease activity index (DAI),histological injury of colonic tissue,the content of butyrate in feces,forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood and spleen and the level of interlenkin (IL)-17 and IL-6 in serum were evaluated.All the data were statistical analyzed by single factor analysis of variance. Results Compared with colitis model control group, DAI significantly lowered and histological injury obviously improved in Fp pretreated group, Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group.The effects of Fp pretreated group were better than those of Fp treated group and Fp supernatant pretreated group were better than Fp supernatant treated group.The concentration of butyrate in Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group was (3091.08 ±485.50) × 106 mol/L,(1714.64 ± 351.25) × 10(-8) mol/L,(2064.75 ± 295.04) × 10-6 mol/L and (1089.13±321.23) × 10-6 mol/L respectively,there was significant difference between Fp pretreated group and other groups (F=49.796,P＜0.01).The peripheral blood level of Foxp3+ Treg in Fp supernatant pretreated group was highest.The spleen level of Foxp3+ Treg in Fp pretreated group and Fp supernatant pretreated group were significantly higher than that of other groups.The serum level of IL-17 and IL-6 in Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group was significantly lower than that of colitis model group.Conclustons Fp plays a role in promoting the repair of intestinal inflammatory reaction in colitis model rats.The mechanism may be related with butyrate producing,the peripheral blood and spleen level of Foxp3+ Treg up-regulating,suppressing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 and IL-6.Rebuilding the balance of Treg/Th17 to reduce local intestinal inflammation.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (Fp) and its products in 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis rats.Methods A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into healthy control group,colitis model group,Fp supernatant group,Fp bacteria group and Bifidobacterium longum (B.longum) group.The rats of the later four groups were enemaed with TNBS to establish the model.At five days before and one day after modeling,the rats were gavaged with phosphate buffer saline (PBS),the supernatant of Fp,live Fp bacteria and live B.longum respectively.Rats were executed at 48 hour after modeling.The colon tissues were taken for pathology examination.The content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in fecal was tested by gas chromatography.The plasma level of interleukin-10 (IL- 10),interleukin-12 ( IL-12),interleukin-17 (IL-17) and interleukin-23 (IL-23) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA) and the expression of IL-17 in intestinal mucosal tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry.The data were analyzed by one way ANOVA.Results Compared with the healthy control group,the rats of colitis group suffered serious weight loss and their intestinal pathology score increased [(193.57±14) g vs (170.25±19.18) g,(1.00±0.99) vs (3.34±0.38),t=2.83 and 7.55,all P value＜0.05].The Fp supernatant group showed protective effects in terms of weight and intestinal pathology score [(187.00± 14.67) g,(2.50±0.44),t=2.1 and 2.9,all P＜0.05].Compared with healthy control group,the plasma and colon tissue IL-17 concentration of colitis model group increased (16.61 pg/ml±2.45 pg/ml vs 20.47 pg/ml± 1.45 pg/ml,0.83±0.98 vs 5.14±0.90) (all P＜0.05).Compared with the colitis model group,the plasma and colon tissue IL-17 concentration of Fp supernatant group decreased ( 17.54 pg/ml± 1.51 pg/ml and 2.86±0.69).Conclusion Fp can regulate immune response and suppress rat colonic inflammation,which may be related with the expression of IL-17.

Objective To investigate the postoperative nursing of an aged patients with femoral neck fracture. Methods The clinical information and nursing course for a 100-year-old patient was analyzed. According to his physiological and psychological subjects, appropriate measures were used to prevent and control the complication. The mental nursing was paid more attention at the same time. Results After 7 days of comprehensive and careful preoperative treatments and nursing, the patient safely past the perioperative period without any complication. The wound healed up with class-A, and the suture was removed after 12 days. The patient discharged from the hospital at the expected time. Conclusions The surgical risks are greater for the aged patients. Appropriate nursing measures in the perioperative period should be used according to the physiological and psychological features of the aged patients, which was of great importance to improve the surgical outcome and to reduce the complication rate and mortality.

The relationship between tyrosine phosphorylation (TP) and protein expression of insulin receptor (InsR) and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was investigated. The InsR expression and TP in skeleton muscle tissue were determined by Western blotting and immunoprecipitation in women with GDM (GDM group, n=22), normal pregnant women (normal pregnancy group, n=22) and normal non-pregnant women (normal non-pregnant group, n=13). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin (FINS) were measured by oxidase assay and immunoradioassay. The results showed that the levels of FPG (5.61±0.78 mmol/L), FINS (15.42±5.13 mU/L) and Homeostasis model assessment-IR (HOMA-IR) (1.21±0.52) in GDM group were significantly higher than those in normal pregnancy group (4.43±0.46 mmol/L, 10.56±3.07 mU/L and 0.80±0.31 respectively) (P<0.01). The levels of FINS and HOMA-IR in normal pregnancy group were significantly higher than those in normal non-pregnant group (7.56±2.31 mU/L and 0.47±0.26 respectively) (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the InsR expression level among the three groups (P>0.05). TP of InsR with insulin stimulation was significantly decreased in GDM group (0.20±0.05) as compared with normal pregnancy group (0.26±0.06) (P<0.01). TP of InsR with insulin stimulation in normal pregnancy group was lower than that in normal non-pregnant group (0.31±0.06) (P<0.01). TP of InsR with insulin stimulation was negatively related with HOMA-IR in GDM group (r=-0.525, P<0.01). There was no correlation between the protein expression of InsR and HOMA-IR in GDM group (r=-0.236, P>0.05). It was suggested that there is no significant correlation between the protein expression of InsR in skeletal muscle and IR in GDM, but changes in TP of InsR are associated with IR in GDM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of compound Coptidis Rhizoma capsule (CCRC) on unbalanced expression of renal tissue TGF-β1/BMP-7 and Smad signaling pathway in rats with early diabetic nephropathy (DN), and discuss CCRC's effect on DN rats with early diabetic nephropathy and its possible mechanism.

METHODDN model rats were established by injecting streptozotocin (STZ). The rats were randomly divided into seven groups: the normal group, the model group, the enalapril treatment group, the xiaoke pill treatment group and three CRCC treatment groups. They were orally administered once a day for five weeks. The fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), insulin (Ins), 24 h urinary protein (24 h Upro) and 24 h urinary microalbumin (24 h UmAlb) were tested. The pathological changes in renal tissues were examined by optical microscopy. Immuno- histochemical measures were used to detect the expressions of TGF-β1, BMP-7, Smad2/3, Smad1/5, and Smad7 protein, and RT-PCR was used to detect TGF-β1 mRNA and BMP-7 mRNA in renal tissues.

RESULTCompared with model group, BUN, Scr, Ins, 24 h Upro and 24 h UmAlb levels decreased at different degrees in CCRC treatment groups; the abnormal pathomorphology in renal tissue was improved; immunohistochemistry results showed that the expression of TGF-β1 and Smad2/3 were reduced, while the expression of BMP-7, Smad1/5 and Smad7 increased in CRCC treatment groups; the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA were reduced, but the expression of BMP-7 mRNA had no obvious change in CRCC treatment groups.

CONCLUSIONCRCC can improve the early renal function, delay the progression of chronic renal pathology and maintain the dynamic balance of TGF-β1/BMP-7 expression in renal tissues of DN rats. The mechanism may be related to down-regulation of renal TGF-β1 and up-regulation of BMP-7 through Smad signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of silencing heparanase (HPA) on growth, angiogenesis and metastasis of human gastric carcinoma transplanted in nude mice.

METHODSHuman gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells and those cells with silenced HPA (gastric carcinoma SGC-7901-HPA(-)) were separately transplanted subcutaneously in 6 nude mice. The time, size and speed of tumor growth were recorded. RT-PCR and Western-blot were used to detect the expression of HPA mRNA and protein in the subcutaneous tumors of the two groups. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect microvessel density (MVD) in the subcutaneous tumors of the two groups. Cells of the subcutaneous transplanted tumors of the two groups were separately injected into the peritoneal cavity of nude mice, 6 mice each. The growth of metastatic tumors in nude mice was observed.

RESULTSHuman gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells and SGC-7901-HPA(-) cells were subcutaneously inoculated in nude mice, and tumors appeared at 4 days and 7 days after inoculation, respectively. The MVD was (20.69 ± 1.20)/HP and (11.35 ± 1.94)/HP, respectively (P < 0.05). The expressions of HPA mRNA and protein of the subcutaneously transplanted SGC-7901-HPA(-) tumor were decreased. Four voluminous metastatic tumors caused by SGC-7901 cells occurred in 3 mice in the liver, right kidney, omentum and intestine. Two smaller abdominal metastatic tumors of SGC-7901-HPA(-) cells were found in the liver and right kidney.

CONCLUSIONSilencing HPA can inhibit the tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis of human gastric cancer in nude mice. It suggests that HPA might become a new target for prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.
