Objective To compare the clinical effect and safety of two kinds of quadruple therapy on the basis of omeprazole and rabeprazole in the treatment of patients with active gastric ulcer and Hp positive.Methods 104 patients with active gastric ulcer and Hp positive were chosen,and they were randomly divided into two groups including A group (52 patients)with omeprazole treatment,and B group (52 patients)with rabeprazole treatment on the basis of amoxicillin +clarithromycin +bismuth potassium citrate.The clinical efficacy,clinical symptom remission rate in 7d,14d and 28d after treatment,HP eradication rate,recurrence rate with follow -up and adverse reaction inci-dence of 2 groups were compared.Results The clinical cure rate of B group was significantly higher than A group (36.54% vs.19.23%)(χ2 =8.74,P <0.05).There was no significant difference in the clinical total effective rate between the two groups(P <0.05).The clinical symptom remission rates in 7d and 14d after treatment of B group were significantly higher than A group(96.15% vs.76.92%,96.15% vs.78.85%,98.08% vs.82.69%;98.08%vs.84.62%,100.00% vs.82.69%,100.00% vs.88.46%)(χ2 =8.74,7.20,7.91;7.05,6.86,6.33;all P <0.055).The Hp eradication rate of B group was significantly higher than A group(92.31% vs.73.07%)(χ2 =9.24,P <0.05).The recurrence rate of B group was significantly lower than A group(7.69% vs.25.00%)(χ2 =10.62,P <0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reaction of B group was significantly lower than A group(3.85% vs. 13.46%)(χ2 =7.85,P <0.05).Conclusion Compared with omeprazole,quadruple therapy on the basis of rabe-prazole in the treatment of patients with active gastric ulcer and Hp positive can effectively relieve the digestive symp-toms,promote ulcer repair process,higher the Hp removal effects,prevent the long -term recurrence and is helpful to reduce the adverse drug reactions risk.

Objective To investigate the changes of disease activity and clinical significance in the course of treatment in patients with SLE.Method 286 cases of SLE were reviewed and compared the changes of SLEDAI scores in different disease duration.Results The SLEDAI scores of patients whose first treatment courses less than 1 month and 1 to 3 months were significantly lower than those patients whose were 4 to 6 months and more than 6 months. After treatment for 2 months to 3 years, the SLEDAI scores were not correlated with cumulated dosage of corticosteroids.Conclusions For the patients of short first treatment course, the treatment could relieve SLE disease activity rapidly and effectively to some extent; while for the patients whose first treatment courses were relatively long ,the relif of disease activity was relatively slow. After treatment for 2 to 3 months, the disease of SLE patients was more active than other periods, and it was inclined to produce visceral damage. As mentioned above ,we should pay attention to this phenomenon.

Objective To investigate the cumulative organ damage of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and It's affecting factors.Methods 162 cases of SLE patients were reviewed and evaluated in the cumulative organ damage of them . At the same time, It's affecting factors were analysed by multifactorial analysis.Results The cumulative organ damage of SLE was obviously correlated with the first time of treatment, treatment with CTX ,the numbers of recurrence rate and level of complements;but were not correlated with disease duration and cumulative dosage of corticosteroid.Conclusions The cumulative organ damage was one of the evaluating factors of SLE disease, and it's occurence and development were affected by multiple factors .So, the patients should be treated with hormone and control the beneficial factors to protect organs,such as,observation on complemets level,high dosage cyclophosphamide pulse treatment etc.

Objective To evaluate the biomechanism of three kinds of internal fixations in treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures. Methods Eighteen human antiseptic cadaver tibial plateau specimens were used to make models of complex tibial plateau fracture (type Ⅵ fractures of Schatzker classification). The models were fixated with a lateral Golf-buttress plate (GP), modified dual plate (a lateral Golf-buttress plate plus a medial five-hole one-third tubular antiglide plate) (DP) or a lateral locking compression plate (LCP) respectively to compare strength, rigidity and stability of different fixation methods. Results The biomechanical strength, rigidity and stability in DP group and LCP group were better than those in GP group (P<0.05), while there was no statistical difference between LCP group and DP group (P>0.05). Conclusions Locking compression plate and modified dual plate are fairly ideal internal fixators for treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures. In the meantime, locking compression plate emphasizes conservation of soft tissues and blood supply, can better meet the requirement of the biological fixation of fracture and is the most ideal internal fixator at present.

Objective To investigate whether baicalein inhibits the proliferation, cell cycle of and pseudopod formation in A431, a skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line, by suppressing the expression of ezrin protein. Methods A431 cells were grouped to be transfected with ezrin-targeting siRNA (siRNA group), treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L, respectively (baicalein group), or remain untreated (control group). After additional culture, wound healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to observe the migration and invasion of A431 cells, RT-PCR to detect the mRNA expression of ezrin in A431 cells, Western blot and immunoflu-orescence to measure the expression of ezrin protein and its phosphorylation. The pseudopod formation in A431 cells was observed by using scanning electron microscopy. Results After 24-hour culture, wound healing assay displayed that the percent wound closure was 13.3 ± 1.7, 7.6 ±1.6 and 5.9 ± 1.3, respectively, in A431 cells treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20μmol/L, significantly lower than that in untreated A431 cells (16.3 ± 2.3, all P < 0.01), and the inhibition of baicalein on the migration of A431 cells was concentration-dependent. In the Transwell assay, a significant decrease was observed in the number of A431 cells per high power field permeating through the artificial basement membrane in the groups treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20 μmol/L for 48 hours compared with the control group (46.5 ± 3.8, 34.3 ± 3.4, 25.3 ± 2.3 vs 56.3 ± 3.8, all P < 0.01), whereas no significant difference was noted between these baicalein-treated groups and siRNA-transfected group (28.3 ± 2.1, all P > 0.05). RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA expression of ezrin in baicalein-treated A431 cells significantly decreased compared with that in untreated cells (all P< 0.01), but showed no difference from that in siRNA group (P > 0.05). A statistical difference was also observed in the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin protein between baicalein-treated A431 cells and untreated cells (all P< 0.05), but not between 40 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells (P> 0.05). Furthermore, the suppression of baicalein on ezrin protein and mRNA expression was concentration dependent. The number of pseudopod per cell was significantly lower in 20 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells than that in untreated A431 cells (5.3 ± 1.9, 4.5 ± 2.8 vs 22.6 ± 2.8, both P < 0.01), while no significant difference was observed between the former two groups of cells (P > 0.05); the length of pseudopodia also reduced in baicalein-treated cells. Conclusions Baicalein may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of A431 cells by directly or indirectly suppressing the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin, which in turn contributes to the effect of baicalein against tumor proliferation and metastasis.

Objective: To observe the morphologic changes of pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) cells in Wistar rats at different altitudes, and clarify the mechanism of stress reaction to hypoxia in ACTH cells. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into three groups and moved to different altitudes (1700 m, 3100 m, 4050 m). After 12 days, changes of ACTH cells were observed by using immunohistochemisty, image analysis and electron microscopy. Results:The ratio (R) of immunoreactive cell area to scanned area and mean optical density (A) increased at higher altitude with statistically different R values between groups of 1700 m and 4050 m (P

[Objective] To investigate the effects of preconditioning with low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on oxidative stress-induced BMSC apoptosis.[Methods] In vitro separation,purification,culture,and amplification of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were performed.BMSC were insulted with 0,50,100,200,300,400,500 μmol/L H2O2 and the effect of different consentration of H2O2 on BMSC was detected by Flow cytometry (FCM).And then cells were preconditioned with different consentraion of H2O2.(FCM) was used to determine the protective role of H2O2 preconditioning on BMSC apoptosis,BMSC chromatin distribution changes were observed by Hoechst33324;BMSC Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 gene changes were detected by RT-PCR.[Results] Analysis of BMSC apoptosis by flow cytometry showed that H2O2 induced BMSC apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner,and pretreatment of the cells with low concentration of H2O2 prevented subsequent stimulation with high H2O2.RT-PCR results showed that preconditioning with low concentration of H2O2 reduced the BMSC Caspase-3 gene expression but increased Bcl-2 gene expression.[Conclusion] Preconditioning with low concentration of H2O2 has an adaptive role in BMSC,and its mechanism may be related to inhibit abnormal gene expression of Caspase-3 and increase the gene expression of Bcl-2.

Objective To study the activation of Janus protein tyrosine kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) signaling pathway and its inhibitor-signal transducer and activator of transcription-1(SOCS-1) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods A total of 45 patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 30 healthy controls were randomly selected. Western blot was performed to measure the expression of Stat1 protein and phospho-Stat1 protein (an activated form of Stat1 protein) in the monocytes after stimulation with recombinant high mobility group box1 (rHMGB1) at various time points. Expression of Stat1 protein in the skin or lesional skin was also detected. Phasic expressions of SOCS-1 mRNA in the monocytes after rHMGB1 stimulation were detected by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. SOCS-1 gene expression in the skin or lesional skin was also detected. Results The expression level of Stat1 proteins in the monocytes from patients with SLE was higher than that from healthy controls (t=9.16,P＜0.01) and positively correlated with SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) (r=0.59,P＜0.01). Expression of phospho-Stat1 in the monocytes from SLE patients was time-dependently upregulated after stimulation with rHMGB1 at various time points, while expression of SOCS-1 mRNA remained unchanged(all P＞0.05). Expressions of phospho-Stat1 protein and SOCS-1 mRNA in the monocytes from healthy controls were increased transiently after stimulation with rHMGB1(all P＜0.05). Both expressions of phospho-Stat1 protein and SOCS-1 gene in the lesional skin from patients with SLE were upregulated compared with those in normal skin from healthy controls (all P＜0.01). Conclusion There are hyperactivation of JAK-STAT1 signaling pathway and negative feedback down-regulation of SOCS-1 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. HMGB-1 may be partly involved in the pathogenesis of SLE by the abnormal mediating function of JAK-STAT1 signal transduction pathway.

Objective To investigate the expression of ezrin in seborrheie keratosis(SK),basal cell carcinoma (BCC).squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)and its relation to elinical pathology parameters.Methods Skin samples were collected from 36 patients with SCC,27 patients with BCC,20 patients with SK and 10 normal human controls.Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of ezrin in these samples.The relationship between ezrin expression and prognosis of SCC was assessed using COX regression analysis.Results The positivity rate of ezrin in SK,BCC and SCC samples was 25.0%,66.7%,91.3%,respectively,compared to 20.0%in normal controls.Compared with the controls,a significant increase was observed in the expression of ezrin in patients with BCC and SCC(both P＜0.05).but not in those with SK(P＞0.05).Moreover.increased expression level of ezrin was correlated with a high degree of tumor malignancy,advanced pathological stage,and occurrence of lymph node metastasis of SCC (r=0.87,0.80,0.89,respectively,all P＜0.01).COX regression analysis revealed that the expression level of ezrin was an independent factor for the prognosis of SCC.Conclusion The expression level of ezrin is closely related to the malignancy of skin tumors,pathological grading and lymph node metastasis of SCC.
