Objective To study the effects of main ingredients from microemulsion extract of Compound Longqincao in vitro on anti-influenza virus H1N1 activity; To analyze effects of main ingredients from microemulsion extract on influenza virus inhibition rate.Methods Uniform design was used to conduct the experiment. MTT method was used to detect the effect rate (ER) of anti-influenza virus H1N1 on A549 cells. Setting ER as the index, Minitab17 software was used to establish mathematical model to come up with regression equations of all factors. The effects of ingredients on ER were analyzed and the efficient composition ratio of the optimum anti-influenza virus H1N1 was chosen.ResultsIn the compound compatibility, baicalin showed the most obvious antivirus activity, and licorice glycosides had certain inhibition effects on pathological changes of cells. Five ingredients had coordinative or controlled relation with ER. When per milliliter liquids containing licorice glycosides, baicalin, leucine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid was 13.94μg, 49.44μg, 0.23 mg, 1.25 mg, and 2.50 mg, ER was the best. ER was 85.34%±4.72% after verification.ConclusionThe optimized combination of main ingredients from microemulsion extract of Compound Longqincaocan better play a role in anti-influenza virus H1N1.

The fruit of Pandanus tectorius (PTF) has a long history of use as a folk medicine to treat hyperlipidemia in Hainan province, South China. Our previous studies have shown that the n-butanol extract of PTF is rich in caffeoylquinic acids and has an adequate therapeutic effect on dyslipidemic animals induced by high-fat diet. In this work, seven caffeoylquinic acids isolated from PTF were screened for the lipid-lowering activity in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Oil-Red O staining, microscopy and intracellular triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) quantification showed that 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA), 3, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,5-CQA), and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-CQA) significantly inhibited lipid accumulation induced by oleic acid and decreased intracellular levels of TC and TG in a dose-dependent manner. These three caffeoylquinic acids showed no significant cytotoxicity at concentrations of 1 -50 μmol x L(-1) as determined by MTT assay. Realtime quantitative PCR revealed that 3-CQA and 3, 5-CQA significantly increased the expression of lipid oxidation-related genes PPARα, CPT-1 and ACOX1 while 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3,4,5-CQA decreased the expression of lipogenic genes SREBP-1c, SREBP-2, HMGR, ACC, FAS. Overall, 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3, 4, 5-CQA may be the principal hypolipidemic components in PTF which can decrease intracellular lipid accumulation through up-regulating the expression of lipid oxidative genes and down-regulating the expression of lipogenic genes.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of adolescent mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney ( MESTK) and improve recognization of this rare disease. Methods Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of MESTK occured in 17-year-old girl were studied. Reviewed the related literatures, clinical and pathological characteristics of adoles-cent MESTK were analysed comprehensively. Results Congenital perineal spill was the main clinical manifestations. Microscopically, the tumor showed nodules and was composed of a mixture of epithelial and stromal elements. Glands were lined with columnar or cilia-ted columnar cells. Stromal cells surrounding glands seemed like ovaries and away from glands seemed like the differentiation of smooth muscle. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the epithelial cells were positive for CK7 and vimentin. Stromal cells expressed desmin, smooth muscle actin ( SMA) , ER and PR. It was noteworthy that stromal cells away from glands expressed desmin. Conclu-sions As a kind of rare benign neoplasm of kidney, MESTK often occurs in perimenopausal women. But MESTK can also occur in ad-olescence, and has nothing to do with the use of hormone. Therefore, the renal tumor occurred in teenagers with biphasic differentiation should be differentiated from MESTK.

Objective To investigate and discuss the limb salvage strategies of malignant bone tumors in region S2 of shoulder girdle.Methods The data of 17 patients(13 males and 4 females)were retrospectivelv analyzed.All of them had malignant scapular tumor at least in region S2,and underwent limb salvage between January 2005 and January 2009.They aged from 14 to 55 years old(mean,32.6 years).The histologic types of them were chondrosarcoma in 6 patients,osteosarcoma in 4,fibrosareoma in 1,myeloma in 1,Ewing's sarcoma in 1,rhabdomyosarcoma in 1,non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1,malignant giant cell tumor of bone in 1 and recurrent chondrosarcoma in 1.The tumors were staged according to Enneking surgical staging system:IB in 4 and IIB in 13.According to the MSTS classification system,the region S2 and lateral 1/3 of region S1 were effected in 11 cases,the region S2 and large part of region S1 were effected in 6 cases.The rotator cuff was involved to some extent in all patients,and the articular capsule were involved in 8 cases.Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy was given to 14 patients.The surgical strategies were depended on the range of tumor and preservation of articular capsule.The scapular prosthetic replacement was done in 8 cases with a relatively large range of tumor or resection of articular capsule,otherwise the scapular allograft replacement was done.Among the 11 cases with region S2 and lateral 1/3 of region S1 effected,the scapular allograft replacement was done in 9 cases with articular capsule preserved and the prosthetic replacement was done in 2 cases with articular capsule resected.And the prosthetic replacement was done in the other 6 cases.The articular capsule and partial rotator cuff were preserved and reconstructed preferentially.Results All patients were followed up 16-62 months (mean,35.1 months).Postoperative complications were noted in 9 patients, including mild allograft rejection and mild allograft resorption in 1 patient,allograft rejection in 1,prosthetic acromion exposure in 3,allograft resorption in 4.Local recurrence were noted in 1 patients.Three patients were dead because of extensive metastasis.The average function scores were 74.1%(range,53.3%-93.3%).Conclusion During the limb salvage surgery.it's very important to guarantee the en bloc resection of the tumor.In the meanwhile,the en bloc resection and functional reconstruction should be well balanced.

Objective:To purify HLA-DR molecules. Methods: Anti-HLA-DR antibody L243 was purified and coupled with CNBr activated Sepharose 4B gel. Immunoaffinity column was used to purify HLA-DR molecules. Results:Twenty micrograms of HLA-DR molecules were isolated from about 5 g Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human B lymphoblastoid cell line RAJI lysates by affinity chromatography. The purified HLA-DR molecules existed in α/β heterodimers form and could bind to conformation-dependent antibody L243. These HLA-DR molecules were separated into two strands,α and β,by boiling denaturation. These results are the basis for studying MHC Ⅱ binding peptide motif and CD4＋ T cell epitopes of antigens in future.

BackgroundAnterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy (aPVR)is a tissue injury and repair progress,and treatment of aPVR is very important in clinic.Chitosan drug delivery system is becoming a hot spot for its large lading dose and long acting duration.ObjectiveThe present study was to investigate the curative effect of a triamcinolone acetonide (TA) drug delivery system after implantation into the suprachoroidal space to treat traumatic aPVR.MethodsaPVR models were created in the left eyes of 65 healthy pigment rabbits by performinga 5 mm penetrating incision 2.5 mm posterior to limbum at 10:30-11:30.The animals were randomly divided into 4groups.Blank chitosan was implanted into the suprachoroidal space as the blank control group.Chitosan with 1 mg TA was implanted in the TA + chitosa group.The TA solution ( containing 1 mg TA) was intravitreally injected in the TA injection group.Fifteen models were used as the traumatic control group.Another 15 left eyes of normal pigment rabbits were used as the normal control group.The thickness of the ciliary tissue was measured using a ultrasound biomicroscope(UBM) 3,5 and 8 weeks after operation.The animals were sacrificed by excessive anesthesia and eyeballswereobtainedforhistopathologicalandultrastructuralexaminations.ResultsHistopathological examination showed the edema of the ciliary tissue and inflammatory cells infiltration in the blank control group,TA injection group and model control group,but mild response was seen in the TA + chitosa group.Severe damage in the ciliary tissue and subcellular organelle was found in the blank and model control groups,but mild damage was detected in the TA + chitosa group under the transmission electron microscope.UBM examination revealed that obvious abnormalities were visible in the ciliary and iris tissue in the blank control group,TA injection group and traumatic control group,but a mild abnormality was seen in the TA + chitosa group.Significant differences in ciliary thickness were exhibited among the 5 groups 2,5 and 8 weeks after operation (F =212.938,515.323,447.919,P＜0.01 ).Compared with the normal control group,ciliary thickness significantly increased in the blank control group and normal control group at various time points (all P＜0.05 ),but that in the TA + chitosa group was significantly lower than the normal control group at various time points ( two weeks:0.484±0.075 vs.0.327 ±0.094 ; five weeks:0.422 ±0.089vs.0.327±0.094 ;eight weeks:0.418±0.085 vs.0.327±0.094) (all P＞0.05). ConclusionsThe chitosan drug delivery system with TA suppresses the excessive proliferation of injured ocular tissue after implantation into the suprachoroidal space,which prevents the formation and development of aPVR.

Objective To analyze colonoscopic appearances,computed tomography (CT) imaging features and their correlation with postoperative pathology in patients with colorectal high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) diagnosed by colonoscopic biopsy.Methods From October 2009 to October 2015,patients diagnosed as colorectal HGIN by colonoscopic biopsy who received endoscopic resection or operation,and had complete postoperative pathological data were enrolled.The results of CT imaging before operation,postoperative pathological type,the maximum diameter of lesions,sessile lesions or pedunculated lesions and enlarged lymph nodes were analyzed.Chi-square test were performed for statistical analysis.Sensitivity and specificity of CT imaging before operation in the detection of invasive colorectal cancer were calculated.Results Among the 76 patients,21.1％ (16/76) patients were HGIN,and 78.9％ (60/76) were invasive cancer confirmed by postoperative pathology.The incidence rate of invasive carcinoma in patients aged ≤50 years (3/14) was significantly lower than that of patients aged ＞50 years (91.9％,57/62),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =30.05,P＜0.01).The incidence rate of invasive carcinoma in protruding lesions with maximum diameter ≥ 3.0 cm was 98.3％ (57/58),which was higher than that of lesions with maximum diameter ＜3.0 cm(2/16),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =51.91,P＜0.01).The incidence rate of invasive carcinoma in pedicle polyps group (2/13) was lower than that of sessile lesions (93.4％,57/61),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =35.72,P＜0.01).The sensitivity and specificity of CT in the diagnosis of invasive colorectal cancer was 95.0％ and 84.6％,respectively.The incidence rate of invasive carcinoma in patients with enlarged lymph nodes detected by CT (93.3 ％,42/45) was significantly higher than that of patients without enlarged lymph nodes (64.3％,18/28),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=9.95,P =0.002).Conclusions CT examination can compensate for the diagnostic deficiency of colonoscopic biopsy which inadequately diagnosed some invasive carcinoma as HGIN.The incidence of invasive cancer is high in patients with age over 50 years,large lesions,sessile lesions,CT indicating colorectal neoplasms and with enlarged lymph nodes.
