Age-related white matter changes are considered as a manifestation of arteriolosclerotic small vessel disease and are associated with advanced age and vascular risk factors.White matter changes have been recognized as one of the manifestations of cerebral small vessel disease.They are the pathological basis of cognitive impairment and functional loss in the elderly.Studies have shown that when white matter changes develop to a certain extent,there will be many clinical symptoms,including cognitive impairment,dementia,depression,gait disturbances,and urinary incontinence,and they are associated with the increased risks of stroke and death.

Objective To evaluate the effect of rapamycin on proliferation and cell cycle of human bladder cancer cell line 5637. Methods Total?ly 5637 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 containing 10%fetal bovine serum,100 U/mL penicillin and 100μg/mL streptomycin for adherent cul?ture. Cells were grown at 37℃in a 5%CO2 incubator. The 5637 cells were treated with various concentrations of rapamycin solution(50 nmol/L, 100 nmol/L,200 nmol/L,and 400 nmol/L). The control group was daily treated with single RPMI 1640 without medication. The growth repression rate for 5637 cells was evaluated by MTT. Flow cytometry was used to investigate the effect of rapamycin of different concentrations on cell cycle of 5637 cells. Results Compared to the control group,rapamycin can inhibit the proliferation of 5637 cells in a concentration and time dependent manner. Rapamycin inhibited 5637 cells at G0/G1 thus inhibiting cell proliferation but not inducing apoptosis. Conclusion Rapamycin inhibited growth of 5637 bladder carcinoma cells and arrested cell cycle at G0/G1,indicating that mammalian target of rapamycin may play an important role in proliferation of 5637 cells and act as a new tumor therapeutic target in patients with bladder cancer.

The volatile oils of endophyte isolates R1 (Acremonium sp.) and R2 (Acremonium sp.) from Aqui-laria sinensis were extracted by solvent method. Twenty and sixteen ingredients were identified from the volatile oils of R1 and R2 by GC-MS, respectively. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, hexa-decanoic acid etc., were the main components, whereas terpenoids like 1,8-cineole, zingiberene, ar-curcumene were also found in both oils. It’s the first report about the volatile oil constituents of endophyte isolates from A. sinensis.

AIM To study the pharmacokinetics of 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 (GRg3) in human. METHODS High-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection method was used in this study. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics of GRg3 in 14 healthy volunteers were investigated. After a single oral dose of 3.2 mg.kg-1 in 8 male volunteers, the plasma concentration-time course fitted well to a two-compartment open model, with the following pharmacokinetic parameters: Tmax (0.66±0.10) h, Cmax (16±6) ng.mL-1, T1/2α (0.46±0.12) h, T1/2β (4.9±1.1) h, T1/2(Ka) (0.28±0.04) h, AUC0-∞ (77±26) ng.mL-1.h. No kinetic analysis was made after an oral dose of 0.8 mg.kg-1 GRg3 in 6 other volunteers because of the low concentration, but a good correlation between Cmax and dosage of the two groups was found. CONCLUSION The absorption of GRg3 was rapid in man, and its elimination was rapid after oral administration of ginsenoside Rg3. The pharmacokinetic results shows that it exhibited first order kinetic characteristics.

Phospho-histone H2AX(γH2AX) has been widely used in vitro genotoxicity evaluation of ionizing radiation, carcinogenic substances and cigarette smoke as an important biomarker of DNA double stranded breaks ( DSBs) . The study developed an enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay for detection of the content ofγH2AX in cells to evaluate the genotoxicity of cigarette smoke. The study exposed CHO cells with cigarette smoke total particulate matter ( TPM) and cigarette smoke condensate ( CSC) of different dose, dose-effect relationship between smoke exposure and DNA damage and the poisonous difference of cigarette smoke components has been investigated by detecting the content change ofγH2 AX in cells under different exposure time and dose. In addition, reactive oxygen species ( ROS) in cells were also detected to study the mechanism of cigarette smoke exposure induced DSBs. The experiment result showed that the required time for the level ofγH2AX in cells grew to the peak prolonged with increased exposure dose. Once the level of γH2AX in cells grew to the peak value, then it decreased slowly; the level of γH2AX in cells rised with increasing dose of cigarette smoke;The effect of TPM on the content change of γH2AX was more than CSC; Moreover, smoke exposure could induce concentration increase of ROS in cells, and a good correlation of content change of ROS and γH2AX in cells were found, free radicals in cigarette smoke may be one major cause of DSBs.

Objective To analyse the effects of anastomat to the resection surgery in 1800 esophageal and gastric cardiac carcinoma patients. Methods The Esophagus-gaster and Esophagus-intestine were stapled by anastomat in the cervical region in 182 cases、 intrathoracically in 1296 cases and intraperitoneal in 322cases. The occurrence of complications caused by anastomat, including anastomotic fistula,anastomotic stricture,anastomotic bleeding and mechanical failure,were observed. Results Anastomotic fistula occurred in 15 cases ( 15/1800,0.83% ,ten cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat ,five cases took YH-W single disposable single anastomat ), among which 6 cases had the cervical anastomosis; Anastomotic stricture occurred in 41 cases ( 41 /1800,3.11%, fifteen cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat, twenty-six took YH-W single disposable single anastomat) ,but all of them recovered after dilatation; Anastomotic bleeding occurred in 21 cases (21/18001.16%, thirteen cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat, eight took YH-W single disposable single anastomat) ;Anastomat mechanical failure in operation occurred in 14 cases( 14/1800,0. 78% ,ten cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat, four took YH-W single disposable single anastomat). Conclusion Anastomat is an effective method in reducing the postoperational complications of esophageal and gastric cardiac carcinoma resection. Disposable single anastomat has higher clinical value.
