Objective To investigate the clinical effect of salmon calcitonin in the treatment of senile osteoporosis , and to observe the effect of salmon calcitonin on bone mineral density ( BMD ) and pain.Methods 180 cases of patients diagnosed as osteoporosis from September 2015 to September 2016 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, the patients were divided into control group and treatment group according to the random number table method.The clinical efficacy and side effects of the two groups were evaluated.The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae, femur and radius were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.The VAS was used to evaluate the two groups before and after the treatment.( ODI) were used to evaluate the functional status of the patients before and after treatment.The self-made questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life of the patients before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 94.44%, significantly higher than the control group 75.56%(P<0.05).After treatment, the treatment group of lumbar spine bone mineral density, bone mineral density and radial bone mineral density was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).After treatment, spontaneous low back pain, flexion extension pain, turn over pain and weight pain were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05).The ODI index of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).After treatment, the quality of life scores in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment, and the treatment group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).No significant adverse reactions occurred in two groups during the treatment.Conclusion Salmon calcitonin treatment of osteoporosis in elderly patients with a significant effect, help to improve bone mineral density, reduce pain and improve its dysfunction, and has high security.

The etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was identified as a new coronavirus, termed SARS-CoV. Establishment of an efficient and sensitive diagnostic system of SARS-CoV genetic materials is crucial for SARS control. In this study, we quantified SARS-CoV mRNAs in both infected cell culture lysate and in supernatant by using Real-time quantitative revere transcription-PCR based on EvaGreen鈩?dye and Taqman-MGB probes. For extensive evaluation of sensitivities and specificities, 13 pairs of primers and 4 probes were designed based on different genes of SARS-CoV. Glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was selected as the internal control gene. Results showed that S-gene-specific PCR was the most sensitive for detection, but because of its sequence variability in the different viral strains, primers and a probe based on the N gene were suitable substitutions. Meanwhile, we found the mRNA concentrations in cell culture lysates were much higher than in cell supernatant and facilited more sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV.

Objective To explore the correlation between acute gastrointestinal side effects caused by radiotherapy in pancreatic cancer and degree of gastroduodenal radioactive injury under gastoendoscopy.Methods From February 2010 to May 2015,112 patients with pancreatic cancer and received radiotherapy were enrolled.The correlation between gastroscopic findings and degree of gastrointestinal side effects (grade zero to five) was analyzed.The effects of different radiotherapy on the formation of radiation ulcers were also investigated.Chi-square test and Spearman correlation analysis were performed for statistically analysis.Results The incidence of radioactive gastroduodenitis was 57.1 ％ (64/112).The incidence of radiation-induced ulcer was 42.0 ％ (47/112).Among the 112 patients with pancreatic cancer and received radiotherapy,patients with over grade two nausea,vomiting,dyspepsia and constipation received symptomatic treatment.Thirty-one patients (27.7 ％) of them received appetitestimulating treatment,53 patients (47.3％) were given anti-nausea treatment,39 patients (34.8％)received therapy of promoting digestion,and 24 patients (21.4 ％) received therapy of relieving constipation.The incidence of radiation-induced ulcer in patients with grade one acute gastrointestinal side effects was 25.8 ％ (8/31),lower than that of patients with over grade two acute gastrointestinal side effects (48.1％,39/81),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.595,P=0.032).The grade of acute gastrointestinal side effects was positively correlated with that of radiation-induced injury under gastroendoscopy (r=0.295,P =0.002).The incidences of radiation-induced ulcer of gamma knife radiotherapy and helical tomotherapy were 50.0 ％ (15/30) and 39.2 ％ (31/79),respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =1.032,P =0.301).Conclusions The occurrence of radiation ulcers should be alerted if over grade two acute gastrointestinal side effects presented in patients with pancreatic cancer and received radiotherapy.The radiotherapy caused gastrointestinal side effects can not be evaluated just according to clinical symptoms.Endoscopic findings and pathological diagnosis are the gold standard.

Objective To analyze the endoscopic observation of gastroduodenal ulcer radioactive injury induced by pancreatic cancer radiotherapy, and to preliminary investigate the risk factors of radiation-induced ulcer after radiotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods A total of 112 patients with pancreatic cancer who accepted gastroscopy before and after radiotherapy at Air Force General Hospital were collected. Self-comparative study of gastroscopic findings was performed on these patients. Single factor analysis and the logistic regression analysis model were used to analyze whether the clinical factors were likely to affect the radiation-induced ulcer or not. Results The total incidence of radiation-induced ulcer was 42.0 % (47/112) in 112 patients. The history of ulcer and grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal symptoms (P= 0.036, P= 0.030) were the independent risk factors of radiation-induced ulcer. The rest clinical factors had no influence on the radiation-induced ulcer (all P>0.05). Conclusion In the radiotherapy of pancreatic cancer, patients who has the history of ulcer or grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal symptoms should be alert to the occurrence of radiation-induced ulcer.

Objective To investigate the effect of arterial and venous subarachnoid hemorrhage ( SAH)on voltage-dependent calcium channel( VDCC)currents of cerebral artery smooth muscle cells and the relationship between the concentration of oxyhemoglobin( OxyHb)in arterial and venous blood and cerebral blood flow. Methods Thirty-six clean grade rats were colleted. A rat SAH model was induced by injection of autologous arterial or venous blood in suprasellar cistern using assisted stereotaxic apparatus. The rats were divided into three groups:an arterial SAH( n=14 ),a venous SAH( n=13 ),and a sham operation( n=9 )group. The arterial and venous OxyHb concentrations were measured. Three days after SAH modeling,a patch clamp was used to detect the relative surface area of the cerebral artery smooth muscle cells,resting potential,and VDCC currents in rats. A fluorescent microsphere method was used to quantitatively analyze cerebral blood flow(CBF). Results (1)Arterial SAH OxyHb concentration (127 ± 4 g/L)was significantly higher than venous SAH OxyHb concentration(54 ± 6 g/L),and that of the sham operation group was 50 ± 5 g/L. The differences were statistically significant among the 3 groups( P<0. 01).(2)The maximum current of VDCC of the arterial SAH group(3. 22 ± 0. 31 pA)was significantly higher than that of the venous SAH group(2. 19 ± 0. 27 pA)and the sham operation group(2. 18 ± 0. 29 pA). The differences were statistically significant among the 3 groups( P<0. 01 ). The VDCC currents of the arterial SAH group were consisted of L- and R-currents,while the currents of the venous SAH group were only consisted of L-VDCC.(3)The cerebral blood flow of the arterial SAH group(0. 83 ± 0. 14 mL/[g·min])was significantly higher than that of the venous SAH group(1. 28 ± 0. 28 mL/[g·min])and the sham operation group(1. 35 ± 0. 19 mL/[g·min]). The differences were statistically significant(P<0. 01). Conclusions The changing effect of arterial SAH on the expression and function of the cerebral artery smooth muscle cells are greater than that of the venous SAH. This difference may be associated with the concentration and composition of vasospasm factors of OxyHb in arterial and venous blood.

Objective To describe the endoscopic observation of pancreatic cancer radiotherapy induced gastro-duodenal radioactive injury, and investigate the influence of radiation-induced ulceration by concurrent chemoradio-therapy with S-1 (Tegafur Gimeracil Oteracil Potassium Capsule) and gemcitabine. Methods Self-comparative study of endoscopic performance were performed on patients received endoscopy before and after pancreatic cancer Chemoradiotherapy with S-1 or gemcitabine or radiotherapy only, from February 2010 to May 2015. Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze whether Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy groups and radiotherapy group are different in radiation-induced ulceration occurrence rate. Results The incidence of radiation-induced ulceration of radiother-apy group, S-1 group and gemcitabine group are 44.1 % (26/59), 50.0 % (10/20) and 46.7 % (7/15), respectively. Radiation-induced ulceration incidence was no statistical difference among the three groups. Conclusion From the angle of safety, patients can according to their self-condition for choosing S-1 or gemcitabine chemotherapy. Wether the concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatment was adopted or not, the occurrence rate of radiation-induced ulceration has no significant difference.

OBJECTIVETo study the apoptotic effects of influenza A virus on the Raji cell line.

METHODSCultured Raji cells were infected with influenza A virus at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i) of 20 and the effects of apoptosis were detected at different time points post infection using the following methods: electron microscope, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, PI stained flow cytometry (FCM) and Annexin-V FITC/PI stained FCM.

RESULTSRaji cells infected with influenza A virus showed changes of morphology apoptosis, DNA agarose electrophoresis also demonstrated a ladder-like pattern of DNA fragments in a time-dependent manner. PI stained FCM showed "apoptosis peak" and FITC/PI stained FCM showed apoptotic cells. Quantitative analysis indicated that the percentage of apoptotic Raji cells increased after infection, and cycloheximide (CHX), an eukaryotic transcription inhibitor, could effectively inhibit the apoptotic effects of influenza A virus in vitro.

CONCLUSIONSInfluenza A virus can induce apoptosis in Raji cell line suggesting that it may lead to a potential method for tumor therapy.
