Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of icariin and naringin content in bushen huayu extract by HPLC. Methods Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography ( RP-HPLC ) separation was performed one C18 column (4.6 mmí250 mm,5 μm).The mobile phase was acetonitrile containing 0.2%H4PO3(pH=2.9). Gradient elution with a flow rate of 0. 8 mL·min-1 was applied to achieve the separation. The detection wavelength was set at 269 nm,and the column temperature was 30℃. Results Icariin had a good linear range from 0. 3-3. 0μg (r=0. 999 9),the recovery rate was 105. 6%,and RSD was 0. 95%. Naringin was linear within the range of 0. 12-1. 20 μg (r=0. 999 9). The recovery rate was 94. 0%and RSD was 0. 52%. Conclusion The method is simple,stable,accurate,and reproducible,which can be used as the quality control standard for bushen huayue extract.

Objective To study the influence and mechanism of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on myotube phenotype by myotube transdifferentiation induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Methods C2C12 cells were cultured in differentiation medium to induce myotubes formation. The cells were randomly devided into 3 groups. The control group without growth factor interruption. The induction group was supplemented with TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) while the inhibition group was supplenmented with both TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) and HGF (30 ng/mL). After 12 hours, the expressions of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) protein in myotubes were detected by Western blot, the levels of CTGF mRNA were measured by RT-PCR. Results Compared to the control group, the protein and mRNA levels of CTGF significantly increased in TGF-β1 treated group , whereas the protein and mRNA levels of CTGF were significantly lower in inhibition group than those in induction group (P < 0.05). Conclusion HGF can inhibit the effect of TGF-β1 on the expression of CTGF in myotubes , which provides the evidences on the study of skeletal muscle cell transdifferentiation.

Objectives To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of gastric submucosal tumors (GSMTs), and evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic treatment for GSMTs. Methods 61 patients with GSMTs were selected from June 2014 to September 2012 by endoscopy and ultrasonography;they were all treated by endoscopic therapy; pathological examination was took in all removed tumors, the tumors which could be the gastric stromal tumor were furtherly examined by molecular biology technique of immunohistochemistry. Result In 61 cas-es, 39 cases are female patients, accounting for 63.93%;the tumors located at the stomach fund accounted for 52.46%(32/61), at the gastric corpus for 21.31%(13/61), at the gastric antrum for 11.48 %(7/61), at cardia for 14.75%(9/61); 10 cases were treated by Endoscopic submucosal dissection, 21 by endoscopic submucosal excavation, 27 by Endoscopic full-thickness resection, 3 by Submucosal tunnelling endoscopic resection; in all 61 cases, 2 were changed to laparoscopic treatment because one tumor was too big and broke the Serous and another was located at mucus Lake of gastric fund, 1 occurred postoperative bleeding and was treated by laparoscopy successfully, 1 oc-curred postoperative perforation and was treated by endoscopy successfully; after pathological and immunohisto-chemical analysis, 34 tumors were identified as gastric stromal tumor and all of them in risk classification were at very low risk, 11 were leiomyoma, 5 were lipoma, 3 were heterotopic pancreas, 5 were calcifying fibrous pseudotu-mor, 2 were inflammatory fibroid polyps, and 1 was angiomatous proliferation; gastric stromal tumor at gastric fundus account for 73.53 % (25/34), at gastric corpus for 11.76 % (4/34), at gastric antrum for 5.88 % (2/34) and at cardia for 8.82 %(3/34). Conclusion Most GSMTs are found in female and commonly lack of specific clinical symptoms;GMSTs are commonly located at gastric fund and most of them are gastric stromal tumors, vast majority of gastric stromal tumors in the risk classification are at very low risk;the endoscopic resection is a mini-invasive, safe and ef-fective treatment for GSMTs.

Objective To study the effects of modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pills on the expressions of TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, TRAF6 and MyD88 in tumor tissues on MFC gastric cancer bearing mice; To discuss relevant mechanism of action. Methods MFC gastric cancer bearing mice were employed to perform anti-tumor experiment in vivo in this study. A total of eligible 48 mice were randomly divided into model group, DDP positive control group, modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pills high-dose and low-dose groups, modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pills high-dose and low-dose combined with DDP groups. The treatment was conducted once a day, and lasted for 14 continuous days. After the last administration of gavage orally treatment, all mice were anaesthetized and killed by cervical dislocation method to obtain tumor tissue completely for further HE staining measure and detection of TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, TRAF6 and MyD88 in tumor tissue with the method of RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Meanwhile, the tumor growth was observed and the general conditions of mice were recorded. Results The model group was rich in tumor cells; the sizes of cells were different; the volume was large; the nucleus was deeply stained and the heterotypic shape was obvious, and the small focal necrosis was seen. The number of tumor cells in each administration group was reduced; the arrangement was loose; the cell volume was significantly reduced, and the nuclear pyknosis was reduced. Cell necrosis significantly increased; the number of interstitial blood vessels decreased; collagen fibers increased, especially in modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pills high-dose and low-dose combined with DDP groups. Compared with the model group, the expressions of TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, TRAF6 and MyD88 mRNA and protein decreased in each administration group. TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, TRAF6 and MyD88 were lighter and weakly positive expressed in modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pillshigh-dose and low-dose combined with DDP groups, the protein changes were more obvious Compared with DDP positive control group, modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pills high-dose and low-dose groups. Conclusion Modified Danggui Beimu Kushen Pills can down-regulate TLR2, TLR4, TLR6, TRAF6 and MyD88 expression of tumor tissue in MFC gastric cancer bearing mice at both mRNA and protein levels to play anti-tumor pharmacology action.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy,safety and recent curative effects of delta-shaped anastomosis in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (ICBI) for gastric carcinoma.Methods Literatures in English and Chinese comparing ECBI and ICBI published up to November 2015 were searched from international and national online databases.Meta-analysis was conducted by Review Manager 5.3 soft ware.Results There are eleven studies involved,with 2020 gastric cancer patients,including,1 169 ECBI cases and 851 ICBI cases.Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant statistical differences between ECBI group and ICBI group in operative time,resection margin length,overall postoperative complications and anastomosis-related complications.(all P ＞ 0.05).When compared to ECBI,the estimated blood loss was significantly less in ICBI,and ICBI with more retrieved lymph nodes,faster recovery of gastrointestinal function,less use of painkiller and shorter postoperative hospital stay (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion ICBI is safe and feasible in treatment of gastric cancer,and has a good short-term effect.

A 54-year-old man diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was admitted in our department in June 2014. After one cycle of FC chemotherapy, a bone marrow examination revealed normalized lymphocyte count and another acute myeloid leuke-mia (AML)-M5 clone. The patient refused sequential treatment and only received follow-up examination. He had continuous hemato-logically stable disease and died of pulmonary infection on July 2015. After a multidisciplinary team discussion, we confirmed the si-multaneous diagnosis of CLL and AML-M5. Through this discussion,tumor second hit model,tumor evolution model,andtumor heterogeneitywere further defined.

Objectives To assess the effect of nicorandil and trimetazidine on myocardial microcirculation reperfusion in patients with NSTEMI after elective PCI. Methods 80 patients with NSTEMI were randomly assigned to four groups: normal medicine group (CON), nicorandil group (NIC), trimetazidine group (TMZ) and Combination group (NIC+TMZ). The coronary angiography and PCI were performed after 10 days. MCE was taken since 72 hours after operation. Results There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the four groups (P > 0.05). The A, β and A ·β of group NIC were significantly higher than group CON (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the group TMZ and the group CON (P>0.05). The A,βand A·βof group NIC+TMZ were significantly higher than group NIC or TMZ (P<0.05). Conclusions Nicorandil can improve the situation of myocardial reperfusion after elective PCI in patients with NSTEMI, and it has some synergetic effect when combined with trimetazidine.

Objective To assess the feasibility and curative effects of laser surgery in treatment of early-stage glottic carcinoma under self-retaining laryngoscope with nasal endoscopic assistance.Methods Thirteen cases of glottic carcinoma(TisN0M0:2 cases;T1aN0M0:7 cases;T1bN0M0:3 cases;T2N0M0:1 case) extirpated with Nd:YAG laser or Diomed laser from June 1999 to March 2003 were retrospectively analyzed.Because of the poor glottic exposure with self-retaining laryngoscope under general anesthesia,various angular nasal endoscopes were used.The tumor was distinctly displayed on monitor screen with nasal endoscopic assistance and were completely removed through vapourization or removed with Nd:YAG laser or Diomed laser.Results The follow-up period was three to five years.Two patients were found to have local recurrence.One patient received treatment with Nd:YAG laser surgery under electronic laryngoscope with local and superfacial anesthesia,and the patient was followed up for three years without showing recurrence.The other patient underwent vertical hemilaryngectomy and was followed up for three and half years without showing recurrence.All 13 cases were followed up for three years,and all of them were alive.Three-year survival rate was 100%(13/13).When they were followed up for five years,one patient lost track(counted as death),therefore the five-year survival rate was 92.3%(12/13).Conclusions With the assistance of various angular nasal endoscope,the glottic tumors can be exposed distinctly under self-retaining laryngoscope and removed completely.Nd:YAG laser or Diomed laser is an effective and safe procedure with minimal invasion for the treatment of early-stage glottic carcinoma.The advantages of this technique include lower complication rate and high rate of preservation of laryngeal functions,avoidance of tracheotomy and the sequela of laryngeal fissure.

This paper is aimed to fulfill a prototype system used to classify and retrieve retinal image automatically. With the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) technology, a method to represent the retinal characteristics mixing the fundus image color (gray) histogram with bright, dark region features and other local comprehensive information was proposed. The method uses kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) to further extract nonlinear features and dimensionality reduced. It also puts forward a measurement method using support vector machine (SVM) on KPCA weighted distance in similarity measure aspect. Testing 300 samples with this prototype system randomly, we obtained the total image number of wrong retrieved 32, and the retrieval rate 89.33%. It showed that the identification rate of the system for retinal image was high.
