[Objective]To observe the curative effect of Wenjing Huayu Decoction for chemotherapy-induced hand-foot syndrome. [Methods]A total of 61 cases of patients with hand-foot syndrome induced by the oral administration of capecitabine were incorporated in the study, and further randomly divided into the treatment group(31 cases) and the control group(30cases). Capecitabine's dosage was 1250mg/m2,twice in one day,from the first day to the fourteen days,7 days of rest,with an observational period of 21 days.In the treatment group, patients were immersed with warm-water diluted Wenjing Huayu Decoction, from the first day of chemotherapy,once in the morning and once at night, 20 minutes a time, with an observational period of 21 days;besides, external application of urea cream was used for patients in the control group;patients in both groups applied corresponding treatment schemes twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, with an observational period of 21 days. The therapeutic effects in both groups were evaluated after 2 cycles of treatment. [Results]The effective rate of HFS was 67.7%in the treatment group and 36.7%in the control group. The results showed that the curative effect in the treatment group was significantly more efficient than that in the control group, with a statistical difference( P<0.05); according to the quality of life(QOL) scoring, there was an obvious difference in improving patients'quality of life between the two groups(P<0.05). [Conclusion]An immersion treatment applying Wenjing Huayu Decoction can be an effective regimen for the treatment of hand-foot syndrome induced by the administration of capecitabine, associated with improvement of patient's life quality.

Nowadays people feared to be infected with HIV extremely,and despised the persons who had bad behaviors susceptible to HIV,for the severe harm to the health by AIDS and secret route of transmission of HIV.So it resulted in some special problems of ethics for discriminations by normal and hostilities by HIV infectious people. Therefore it was key to adopt strategy of tolerance, and to treat the HIV infectious people justly, respectfully that was effective to prevent and treat AIDS. Under the principle of vantage,AIDS patients,HIV infectious people,high-risk groups, general people and medical workers could cooperated with each other,and to preclude the ethics differences with tolerance.By evoling the consciousness of respecting privilege of health,exciting social feeling of moralities and responsibility of the public,we cna raise the effect of preventing and treating of AIDS,and keep the prevalence of AIDS within limits.

Objective To retrospectively evaluate the clinical effects of end-to-end suture in repairing acute closed Achilles tendon ruptures.Methods Twenty-eight consecutive patients(20 males and 8 females,aged from 19 to 48 years with a mean of 36.5) with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture admitted from Nov.2000 to Jun.2006 were involved in present study.All patients were produced to have complete Achilles tendon rupture by MRI,and they received surgical procedure within 4 days after injury.An incision of 1cm long was made medial to the tendon,sparing the lesser saphenous vein and sural nerve.The tendon stumps were minimally debrided and end-to-end sutured using the Kessler or Bunnell techniques.The patients were followed-up for 12 to 36 months(mean 20 months),the therapeutic effects were evaluated by Arner-Lindholm scoring system,and postoperative complications were documented during the follow-up period.Results Of the 28 patients,19 got excellent therapeutic effect and 9 got good as evaluated by Arner-Lindholm scoring system,the satisfactory rate was 100%.All the patients regained normal gait,and rehabilitative training was initiated 3 months after operation.The postoperative complications included superficial wound infection in one case and skin edge necrosis in one case,resulting in a 7.1% incidence of complication.No peripheral nerve injury or Achilles tendon re-rupture occurred during the follow-up period.Conclusions An excellent therapeutic effect and minimal postoperative complication may be expected with end-to-end suture for repairing acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.

Objective To study the relation between p38 MAPK pathway and multidrug resistance of stomach cancer. Methods The activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR was examined by immunoprecipitation after treating with vincristine for 0,2,15,30,60 minutes. Results Vincristine could activate the activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR. The difference between them was that in cell SGC7901 vincristine activate the p38 MAPK rapidly whereas in cell SGC7901/VCR slowly. Conclusion Vincristine could affect the activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR.

Objective To establish attenuated S. typhimurium expressing Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) urease subunit B (UreB) and determine whether it could be used as oral vaccine against H.pylori Methods H.pylori (SS1 strain) UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector PTc 01 after sequencing, then transformed into attenuated S.typhimurium SL3261 to acquire SL3261/PTc 01 UreB. The expression of H.pylori UreB in SL3261 was detected by Western blot. Twelve weeks after oral immunization of mice, antibody responses were evaluated using serum and intestinal fluid by ELISA. In vitro stability of PTc 01 UreB plasmid in S. typhimurium SL3261 was confirmed by growing in Luria Bertani medium to 60 generations. Results The UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was consistent with the sequence of the H.pylori UreB by sequence analysis. Enzyme digestion revealed that the correct PTc 01 UreB was obtained. Western blot showed that 61kD protein was expressed in SL3261/PTc 01 UreB which could be recognized by anti H.pylori UreB antiserum. Anti UreB IgA antibodies in mouse intestinal fluid and IgG antibodies in serum were determined by ELISA. After 60 generations of continuous culture, the recombinant plasmid PTc 01 UreB was stable in SL3261 and had no obvious toxicity. Conclusion The attenuated Salmonella typhimurium expressing H.pylori UreB may be used as oral vaccine against H.pylori infection.

In order to construct a recombinant attenuated Salmonella typhimurium expressing Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) urease subunit B(UreB), UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pTC01 after sequencing, then transformed into attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL3261 to acquire SL3261/pTC01-UreB. The expression of H. pylori UreB in SL3261 was detected by Western blot. Tewelve weeks after oral immunization of mice with this vaccine, anti-UreB IgA antibodies in mouse intestinal fluid and IgG antibodies in serum were determined by ELISA. IFN-? and IL-10 contents in the supernatant of spleen cell culture were also assessed by ELISA. The results showed that 61kD protein was expressed in SL3261/pTC01-UreB that could be recognized by anti-H. pylori UreB antiserum by Western-blot. The multiple oral immunizations with SL3261/pTC01-UreB could induce significantly H. pylori-specific mucosal IgA response as well as serum IgG responses. Moreover, there was significant increase of IFN-? and IL-10 contents in the supernatant of spleen cell culture in SL3261/pTC01-UreB group. These results suggested that the attenuated Salmonella typhimurium expressing H. pylori UreB may be used as oral vaccine against H. pylori infection. Its effect against H. pylori infection also needs to be further evaluated in animal models.

To investigatethe relationship between p38 MAPK pathway and multidrug resistance of stomach cancer. The activity of p38 MAP kinase in stomach cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR were examined by immunoprecipition after adriamycin treatment SGC7901 for 0, 2, 15, 30 and SGC7901/VCR for 0, 2, 15, 30, 60 minutes,respectively. The results indicated that adriamycin could activate the activity of p38 MAP kinase in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 with time dependency, but could decrease remarkably the activity of p38 MAP kinase in gastric cancer multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR after adriamycin treatment it for 15 minutes. It suggested that adriamycin could affect the activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR.

Objective To investigate the effect of pantoprazole (proton pump inhibitor, PPI) and gefarnate (gastric mucosa protectant) on the prevention of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients undergoing post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) dual anti-platelet therapy.Methods This research included 1263 patients taking enteric aspirin and clopidogrel after PCI.The cases were divided into 4 groups: routine treatment group (n=332), PPI group (n=318), gastric mucosa protectant group (n=299), and PPI+gastric mucosa protectant group (n=314).A follow-up for 6 months was observed including gastrointestinal symptoms, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and adverse reactions.Results There were 52 cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months, including 21 cases from routine treatment group, 9 from PPI group, 15 from gastric mucosa protectant group, and 7 from PPI+gastric mucosa protectant group.The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding among the 4 groups within 6 months was statistically different (X2=8.883, P=0.031).The routine treatment group had significant higher rate than the PPI group and the gastric mucosa protectant group (P<0.05), while among other groups there was no significant difference (P>0.05).The upper gastrointestinal bleeding occurred within 3 postoperative months in 34 out of 52 cases (65.4%).There was no statistical significance among the four groups in regard to bleeding occurrence time (X2=4.212,P=0.648).Conclusions Patients undergoing post-PCI dual anti-platelet treatment can reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding by taking pantoprazole or combined with gefarnate.Intervention against upper gastrointestinal bleeding should start on the first day after PCI and last for a minimum of 3-6 months.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs)are a class of small non-coding RNA that regulate gene expression at the posttranscrip-tional level and play important roles in cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis and metabolism.Moreover,specific miR-NAs can be secreted or released from tissues and cells in different physiological or pathological statusand enteredinto blood circulation,and secreted miRNAs can be delivered into recipient cells and emerged as powerful regulatorsof a wide range of biological processes.Many recent studieshave shown that miRNAswere involved in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Due to the widely source,highly stability,and specific expression patternunder different physiological or pathological conditions,circulating miRNAs may serve as a novelbiomarker for T2DM and may also participate in the devel-opment of type 2 diabetes.
