Methods: ACHN cell line of RCC were cultured by cell culture technique. The tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay was used to evaluate the growth inhibitory effects of trastuzumab and IL-2. S-P method was used to determine the expression of HER2, MRP1 of the cells. Results: Trastuzumab showed the inhibitory effects on growth and multi-drug resistance in RCC from 40 ?g/L or 24 h in time-effective and dose-dependent manner. After treatment with Trastuzumab and/or IL-2, the expression of HER2, MRP1 genes of RCC was decreased significantly( P

Objective ① To investigate the level of the vitamin D endocrine system in peripheral relationships with bone mineral density (BMD) and the disease activity respectively. Methods The level of the 25-hydroxylate vitamin D3 (25OHD3) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)D3] in plasma from 43 SLE patients and 44 normal controls were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene expression was determinied by real-time PCR in peripheral blood. BMD measurements in the lumbar spine (L1-4) and left proximal femur (femoral neck) were performed using dual X-ray absorptiometry before treatment. The relationship between the vitamin D endocrine system and the bone mass were studied. We also discussed the relationship between the vitamin D endocrine system and the disease activity. Results The levels of 25OHD3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were lower in the initial SLE patients than normal controls (P<0.01, P<0.01). The expressions of VDR gene were significantly increased in initial SLE compared with normal controls (P<0.01). The initial SLE patients had significantly lower BMD values, and higher frequency of osteopenia (35%) at both sites of measurement compared with matched healthy controls (P<0.01). The initial SLE patients were divided into two groups by BMD, abnormal group and normal group. There were no differences in 25OHD3, 1,25 (OH)D3 and VDR gene expression (P0.05). There was no correlation between the vitamin D endocrine system and BMD in initial SLE patients. There was no correlation between the vitamin D endocrine system and the disease activity either. Conclusion Vitamin D endocrine system may play an important role in SLE, but the level of VDR gene is not correlated with BMD and disease activity.

Summary: To study the effect of Trastuzumab in combination with IFN α-2b on HER2 and MRP1 of ACHN in vitro, ACHN cell line of RCC was cultured by employing cell culture. The tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay was used to evaluate the growth-inhibiting effect of Trastuzumab with IFN α-2b. SP method was utilized to determine the expression of HER2 and MRP1 of the cells. Our results showed that Trastuzumab had inhibitory effect on the growth of renal tumor cells and reversing effect on the multi-drug-resistance (MDR) in RCC in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Treated with Trastuzumab with or without IFN α-2b, the expression of HER2 and MRP1 genes of RCC was decreased significantly (P<0.05). It was concluded that Trastuzumab with IFN α-2b could inhibit the proliferation of RCC and the expression of HER2 and MRP1 of ACHN and to some extent, reverse the MDR of the tumor cells.

Objective To observe the effects of free-posture parturition on the parturition outcomes and pelvic floor function of puerperae. Methods Totally 270 pregnant women who met the requirements were divided into an observation group (n=135) and a control group (n=135) by the prospective randomized controlled clinic trail. Pregnant women in the observation group adopted free-posture parturition, while pregnant women in the control group delivered in the frequently used supine position. The pregnant women in both groups were managed according to the existing labor standards, and the effects of free-posture parturition on their parturition outcomes and pelvic floor function were observed. Results Totally 133 pregnant women in the observation group delivered naturally and 2 transferred to cesarean parturition in the process, while 102 pregnant women in the control group delivered naturally and 33 transferred to cesarean parturition in the process (χ2=31.55, P<0.001). The uniparae in the observation group spent less time in the first and second stages of labor as well as the whole parturition than the uniparea in the control group (P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of labor stage between the multiparae in the two groups (P> 0.05). The uniparae in the observation group were less likely to show reduced typeⅠand typeⅡ muscle fiber strength than the uniparae in the control group (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of reduced typeⅠand type Ⅱ muscle fiber strength between the multiparae in the two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of urinary incontinence between the puerparae in the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The use of free-posture parturition can reduce the possibility of cesarean parturition substantially. The duration of labor stage in uniparae can be shortened significantly, and their pelvic floor muscle strength is better than that of the puerparea in the control group. Free-posture parturition does not contribute to negative outcomes of maternals and fetals.

Objective To investigate the medication and compatibility patterns of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)compound patents in the treatment of epilepsy through data mining research.Methods Data on TCM compound patents for treating epilepsy were retrieved from the China National Intellectual Property Administration's patent publication website.Descriptive analysis,association rule analysis,and cluster analysis were conducted using softwares such as Excel,Origin 2021,R 4.3.1 and Cytoscape 3.9.1,and the relevant topological property values were calculated to construct the core complex network.Results A total of 346 TCM compound patents for treating epilepsy were included,involving 738 different herbs.The top 5 frequently used herbs were Acorus tatarinowii,Gastrodia elata,Buthus martensii,Eupolyphaga seu steleophaga,and Uncaria rhynchophylla.The predominant drug category was liver-soothing and wind-extinguishing drugs.Cluster analysis identified two major categories of drug combinations,and the core combination in the co-occurrence network was Rhizoma acori tatarinowii-Scorpio-Gastrodiae rhizoma-Bombyx batryticatus-Uncariae ramulus cum uncis.A total of 23 association rules were obtained.Conclusion This study reveals the primary characteristics of treating epilepsy,which mainly focus on therapeutic directions such as soothing the liver and suppressing wind,calming wind to arrest convulsions,and calming the mind to tranquilize the spirit.It incorporates individualized dialectical diagnostic and treatment strategies,such as promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis,invigorating the spleen,and transforming phlegm.This discovery aims to provide reference and reference value for the clinical treatment of epilepsy in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of nerve damage in diabetic peripheral neuropathy by ultrasound and neuroelectrophysiological techniques and provide a basis for early diagnosis and treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methods From January 2016 to May 2018, 225 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the hospital were divided into DPN group (110 cases) and non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy (NDPN) group (115 cases),and 120 healthy volunteers were as controls. Ultrasound and nerve conduction velocity(NCV) were used to analyze the characteristics of nerve damage in diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN). Results Among the three study groups, the sensory nerves conduction velocity and motor nerves conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve, median nerve, and common peroneal nerve were significantly reduced in the DPN group. But in the same group,the ulnar nerve, median nerve, and common peroneal nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) was significantly increased [(8.68 ± 1.89) mm2 vs. (6.79 ± 1.69) and (5.82 ± 1.57) mm2, (10.59 ± 1.82) mm2 vs. (7.98 ± 1.97) and (7.25 ± 1.71) mm2, (21.24 ± 2.53 )mm2 vs. (16.54 ± 2.49) and (15.40 ± 2.20) mm2]. In the measurement of sensory nerve conduction velocity, the abnormalities of ulnar nerve, median nerve and common peroneal nerve were significantly higher than thoseof motor nerve [34.54%(38/110) vs. 18.18%(20/110), 36.36% (40/110)vs. 20.90% (23/110), 52.72% (58/110) vs. 20.00% (22/110)]. In ultrasound and SCV, the proportion of ulnar nerve and median nerve injury was higher in patients aged 45 years or older or patients over 10 years of course (P<0.05). The proportion of median nerve injury was higher in patients with larger MAGE (P < 0.05). In the abnormal performance of ultrasound: the proportion of abnormal ulnar nerve, median nerve and common peroneal nerve in patients with large MAGE was significantly higher than that in patients with small MAGE (P<0.05); the results of ultrasound measurement of CSA showed that the ulnar nerve, median nerve and common peroneal nerve thickening were more obvious in patients with MAGE>4 mmol/L. Conclusions DPN affects sensory nerves first, and the proportion of injury is significantly higher than that of motor nerves; lower limb nerves are more susceptible to damage, compared with upper limb nerves; patients aged 45 years or older or patients with course over 10 years have a higher proportion of ulnar nerve and median nerve damage; patients with larger MAGE (>4 mmol/L) have a higher proportion of median nerve damage. The characteristics above can provide an effective basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of DPN.

This paper summarizes the experience of professor DING Yuanqing in treating post-stroke depression （PSD） of young and middle-aged patients with the method of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation. PSD is a syndrome resulting by vascular injury and impairment of brain marrow and vital activity after the stroke. Factors such as poor lifestyle， improper control of chronic diseases and sleep disorders，etc.，which can be harmful individually， or they can interact. Over time，these factors can block yang of defensive qi，obstract blood circulationg and disturb qi movement. Reverse ascending of defensive qi can generate wind and fire，generate phlegm and stasis from the fluid the blood. Qi stagnation， phlegm and stasis can combined with stagnation heat， phlegm heat， blood stasis heat which caused by stroke ， which can further aggravate pulse accumulation， damage the blood vessels and block the collaterals. Consequently， defensive qi is floating over and nutrient qi is not smooth， resulting in inadequate nourishment of the brain marrow，and disfunction of vital activity， causing depressive symptoms. Professor DING innovatively applied the method of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation. He selected the classic prescriptions such as Guizhi Decoction（桂枝汤）， Baoyuan Decoction（保元汤）， as well as self-fitting prescriptions like Erdan Decoction（二丹汤）， Erzhu Decoction（二竹汤）， to relieve qi and tonify qi，promote harmonious blood circulation， facilitate vasodilation， ease symptoms of depression， invigorate the mind， and provide an effective treatment for PSD.
