Purpose To analyze retrospectively the clinicopahological characteristics and immuophenotype in 120 cases of pulmonary selerosing hemangioma ( PSH) . Methods Data of 120 cases of PSH were collected and reviewed, including gross features and frozen diagnosis, histopathological features, morphology in HE and immunohistochemical characteristics of tumor cells. Results PSH pres-ents a well-circumscribed mass with a sense of expansion after cutting, which showed a solid, grey to tan-yellow surface with foci of haemorrhage. Two kinds of tumor cells and four typical patterns with mixed forms, are often shown under light microscope (92/120, 76. 67%). Focal accumulation of histocytes and scattered mast cells were noted in some cases (83/120, 69. 17%). Both surface cells and round cells were TTF-1 and EMA positive. Surface cells expressed SP-A, CK and NapsinA. Round cells expressed vimentin. Conclusion Gross features and typical“two cell types, four patterns” contribute to PSH diagnosis. Meanwhile, foal accumulation of foam histocytes and scattered mast cells show a clue to PSH diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare lincomycin hydrochloride glycerol paint and to determine its content. METHODS: Lincomycin hydrochloride glycerol paint was prepared using lincomycin hydrochloride and dyclonine hydrochlorideas as main components; the contents of the two main components were determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The linear ranges of lincomycin hydrochloride and dyclonine hydrochloride were 20～200 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 8) and 10～100 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 9),respectively. The average recoveries(n=5) were 99.61% and 99.28%,with RSD stood at 0.439% and 0.818%,respectively. CONCLUSION: Both the preparative method and determination method for lincomycin hydrochloride glycerol paint are simple and feasible.

To observe the clinical efficacy of massage therapy and Cisapride in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:Eighty subjects were randomized into two groups:treatment group in which 40 cases were treated by massage therapy and control group in which 40 cases were treated by Cisapride,with a course of 4 weeks;meanwhile,another 40 healthy people were taken as normal group.Abdominal fullness,acid regurgitation,diminished appetite and anorexia,nausea and vomiting and health survey were observed;symptom scores were recorded.Results:These two treatment methods were effective for FD.Conclusion:Mental disorder is one cause of FD;massage therapy is quite effective for it.

Objective: To observe the effect of Tuina and respirometric training on the pulmonary function, dyspnea, motor ability, and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in remission stage. Method: Sixty-six cases of COPD in remission stage were divided into Tuina group (n = 33) and control group (n = 33) with table of randomized number. After 3-month treatment, the grade of dyspnea and quality of life, pulmonary function, and 6-min Self Walk Test were compared with that before treatment. Results: The pulmonary function of patients in Tuina group were improved remarkably, the improvement in the control group was poor. The qualities of life were enhanced in the two groups, and Tuina method was better than the respirometric training.Both the treatment methods could increase the walking distance in 6 min Self Walk Test and improve dyspnea, without a difference in the two groups. Conclusion: The two treatment methods had good therapeutic effect on dyspnea, quality, motor ability and pulmonary function in patients with COPD in remission stage, and especially, Tuina treatment had a better effect on pulmonary function and quality of life than the control method.

AIM:To investigate the ameliorative effect of ischemic postconditioning (I-postC) on pia mater microcirculation in rats subjected to cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R) and its mechanisms. METHODS:Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham,I/R,I-postC,and ischemic preconditioning (IPC) groups. The global cerebral I/R injury was induced by shunting carotid artery in rats. Pia mater microcirculation and cerebral microcirculatory perfusion were measured after reperfusion. The content of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in plasma was detected using enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Myeloperoxidase (MPO),malondialdehyde (MDA),and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in cerebral tissue were detected. The expressions of vascular endothelial cell cadherin (VE-cadherin) and NF-?B p65 in cerebral tissue were assayed by Western blotting. RESULTS:(1) The disturbance of the blood flow in microvessel induced by I/R was improved significantly by I-postC. In addition,I-postC alleviated significantly the decrease in diameters of microvesseles,cerebral microcirculatory perfusion and cerebral VE-cadherin content induced by I/R (P

Objective To investigate the correlation between age and the prognosis of thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods One hundred and fourteen patients with AIS were divided into ≤60 years group,61-70 years group and ≥71 years group according to age.Thrombolysis and post-thrombolysis treatment was done in accordance with 2010 version of Chinese Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment Guidelines standard.The United States National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was done in patient immediately after treatment,24 h after thrombolysis and 7 d after thrombolysis,and modified Rankin scale (mRS) score was assessed 3 months after thrombolysis The spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and the death of 2 weeks was recorded.Results ≤ 60 years group had 22 males and 10 females;61-70 years group had 26 males and 10 females; ≥71 years group had 20 males and 26 females.In ≥ 71 years group,women accounted for 56.52％ (26/46),which was higher than that in the other 2 groups,and there was significant difference (x2 =0.685,P =0.015).The NIHSS score immediately after treatment,24 h after thrombolysis and 7 d after thrombolysis among 3 groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The mRS score at the 3 months after thrombolysis among 3 groups was (1 ± 3),(2 ± 5) and (2 ± 3) scores,respectively,and there was significant difference(P =0.040).Mortality and incidence of sICH in 2 weeks also had significant difference (P =0.049,0.017).Conclusions Despite the differences in the mortality and incidence of sICE among different ages,thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator can significantly improve the neurological deficit after 3 months in AIS patients of different ages.

AIM: To investigate the role of G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 ( GPBR1; also known as TGR5) activation in high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and calcineurin (CaN)/nuclear factor of activated T-cells 3 (NFAT3) signaling.METHODS:Primarily cultured mouse cardiomyocytes were used in the study .The cell surface areas of the cardiomyocytes were measured by an image analysis system .The cell protein content was detected by BCA meth-od.The expression of TGR5, CaN and NFAT3 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot . RESULTS:The mouse cardiomyocytes were successfully cultured .High glucose significantly induced the increases in the cell surface area, the cell protein content and the expression of CaN and NFAT 3 (P<0.05) in the cardiomyocytes.TGR5 activation or a CaN antagonist cyclosporin A inhibited high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and the expression of CaN and NFAT3 (P<0.05).These effects of TGR5 activation were abolished by TGR5 gene interference (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:TGR5 activation reduces high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by inhibiting CaN /NFAT3 sig-naling.

AIM: To investigate the effects of insulin on aortic constriction caused by endothelin-1(ET-1) in normal and hyperglycemic rats. METHODS: Hyperglycemic rat models were prepared. Two aortic rings were immersed in the Krebs-Hensleit fluid with and without insulin (40 mIU/L) and the responses of rings to 10 -9 mol/L ET-1 were observed. RESULTS:ET-1 induced more obvious aortic ring constriction in normal rats than those in hyperglycemic rats ( P

To provide necessary evidence for studying the pharmacological and clinical effectiveness of Styela clava,the quantities of 21 chemical elements in Styela clava were analysised.It was found that the quantities of several mineral elements in it were higher than that in sea water,which indicated Styela clava had a relatively high ability to concentrate mineral elements.

Objective To further improve the awareness of the clinical feature of acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP).Methods One case of AFOP treated in our department was described in details.The relevant cases were searched in Wanfang database using key words acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia [in Chinese].Results Four reports containing 9 cases were identified from published literature.A total of 10 cases (including this one) were analyzed.The patients included 7 males and 3 females (43 to 78 years of age).Eight patients presented with cough.Chest tightness and dyspnea were reported in 8 cases,and fever in 9 cases.Velcro crackles were heard in 4 patients.Laboratory tests showed WBC increased in 2 cases,increased neutrophil count in 6 cases,elevated C-reactive protein in 9 cases,and faster erythrocyte sedimentation rate in 8 cases.The partial oxygen pressure (PO2) ranged from 54 mmHg to 69 mmHg.Chest CT scan showed unilateral lesions in 3 cases and bilateral lesions in 7 cases initially.The main CT findings were patchy,consolidation and ground-glass opacities,sometimes associated with air bronchogram.The diagnosis was confirmed by lung biopsy in all the 10 cases.Bronchoscopy biopsy was conducted in 6 cases,and percutaneous lung biopsy in 3 cases.One patient received both bronchoscopy biopsy and percutaneous lung biopsy.Methylprednisolone was used in all cases.No patient received mechanical ventilation.One patient died.Conclusions AFOP is a new type of interstitial lung disease,the etiology of which is unknown.AFOP often occurs in middle-and old-aged patients.AFOP is easily misdiagnosed due to its unspecific clinical manifestations,which are similar to common pneumonia.The confirmation of AFOP diagnosis depends on pathological biopsy.Corticosteroids treatment is appropriate,but the dosage,duration,and long term effect of corticosteroids are not established.
