Objective To explore the influence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of p27kipl protein of gastric epithelial cells in vitro. Methods SC, C-7901 cell pro-liferation was examined by flow cytometry after incubation with different concentration of NCTC11637. The effect of NCTC11637 on cell apoptosis was also evaluated by flow cytometryo And the expression of p27kipl of gastric epithelial cells was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and in situ hybridization, respectively. Results Cell proliferation was enhanced when co-incubated with the Hp in low concentration (3.4 x 104 to 1.9 x 105 CFU/ml) but inhibited in higher concentration (≥4.8×106CFU/ml). However, cell apoptosis was increase when co-incubated with the Hp in high concentration (≥9.6 ×105 CFU/ml) showing concen-tration dependent picture. In addition, the co-incubation of SGC-7901 with Hp led to decrease of the expres-sion of p27kipl protein but not mRNA in a Hp concentration dependent way. Conclusion Hp could effect the gastric epithelial cells apoptosis and proliferation directly and influence the expression of p27kips protein which might facilitate gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo explore rest, cold compress and elevate (RICE) with rest, compress and elevate (RCE) without cold for the treatment of acute ankle sprain, in order to clear mid-term clinical effects.

METHODSEighty-nine patients with acute ankle sprains were collected from January 2013 to March 2014,including 30 males and 59 females aged from 18 to 60 years old with an average of 36 years old; the time from injury to hospital ranged from 3 to 24 h with an average of 9 h. All patients were divided into two groups according to visiting sequence. There were 45 patients in RICE group, and 45 patients in RCE groups. The main therapeutic effect index was evaluated by Karlsson scoring, and secondary therapeutic effect index was pain and satisfactory VAS scores. Safety index evaluated by adverse event.

RESULTSOn the 2nd weeks after injury, Karlsson score in RICE group was 44.66 ± 11.58, and 46.67 ± 8.52 in RCE group, while there was no statistical significance between two groups in Karlsson scores (P > 0.05). Karlsson score of two groups after treatment were higher than before treatment. There was no significantly meaning in pain and satisfactory VAS scores between two groups (P > 0.05). No adverse reaction were occurred between two groups.

CONCLUSIONCold compress did not receive much more final gains, and no evidence showed cold compress could affect recovery of joint function.

It has been found by the author that among the researches concerning acupuncture in the treatment of amblyopia, only anisometropic amblyopia has noticeable results with treatment. Based on the previous publications, a hypothesis theory of self biological single eye occlusion is displayed particularly for simplex anisometropic amblyopia. It is also reminded that amblyopia acupuncture treatment does not always have sufficient RCTs for clinical research, so it couldn't be promoted as a normalized clinic treatment measure on an international base. It is also mentioned that reports from mainland China present a significant discrepancy with that from international in terms of successful treatment percentage. This is probably caused by the disagreement of amblyopia test methods and clinical standards. Some important considerations and key points that require particular attention during amblyopia acupuncture treatment and several recommendations on development and directions for further research are also put forward.

Objective To observe the clinical outcome of modified posterolateral approaches for the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures. Methods From January 2012 to January 2015,13 patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures were identified in the Second Hospital of Changzhou Affiliated to Nan?jing Medical University. All the posterolateral fractures were fixated with a plate. The knee function was evaluated at the last follow?up by the Hospital for Special Surgery( HSS) Score,and the occurrence of postoperative compli?cations were observed. Results Thirteen patients were followed up for an average of 14. 4 months,all patients obtained bony union. There were no significant differences regarding the mean HSS score among 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post?operation((71. 6±1. 5) points, (76. 4±1. 6) points, (83. 2±1. 1) points;P=0. 154) . There were no significant differences regarding the tibial plateau angle and posterior slope angle on radiograph?ies of inside and outsideamong immediate,6 and 12 months postoperation((83. 7±1. 7)°,(84. 3±1. 5)°,(85. 1 ±1. 4)°,(85. 4±1. 5)°;(7. 7±1. 5)°,(7. 7±1. 4)°,(7. 7±1. 3)°,(7. 6±1. 8)°;P=0. 223,0. 191). No com?plications associated with the approach were observed and there was no infection,no malunion or fixation failure either. Conclusion In the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures,the modified posterolateral approa?ches can result in excellent fracture reduction under direct visualization and allow for posterior buttress plating.

Purpose To observe the functional expression of calcium sensing receptor ( CaSR) in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line, the effect of CaSR on intracellular calcium, cell proliferation and migration of SCG-7901. Methods The expression and distribu-tion of CaSR were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence observation in SGC-7901. The intracellular concentration of free calcium ( [ Ca2+] i ) was determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy. MTT, flow cytometry and scratch test were used to an-alyze the impact of CaSR the proliferation and the migration capabilities of SGC-7901 cell. Results CaSR protein was expressed in SGC-7901. Extracellular calcium or calindol significantly increased the expression of [Ca2+]i, CaSR and E-cadherin;In addition, the migration capabilities were decreased. Conclusion CaSR is expressed in SGC-7901. The activation of CaSR induces the expression of E-cadherin, and decreases migration ability.

Objective To prepare monoclonal antibody (McAb) against γ-glutamyhransferase(GGT) firmly bound to datura stramonim (DSA) leetin from primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) tissue and establish an avidin-biotin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for evaluating the diagnostic value of serum DSA-GGT for PHC. Methods Anti-DSA-GGT monoclonal antibodies were obtained by McAb technology and purified by protein G-sepharose affinity chromatography. The McAb was labeled with biotin and avidin-biotin ELISA for measurement of serum DSA-GGT was established. Using the avidin-biotin ELISA, serum DSA-GGT levels was detected in 39 patients with PHC, and 122 patients with non-PHC diseases. The distribution of serum DSA-GGT values of 119 healthy subjects were determined by P-P plots. Optimal cut-off value for the diagnosis of PHC was determined by receiver operating characterstic (ROC) curve. Results The protein levels of McAb in the ascites derived from 5 McAb hybridoma cell strains ranged from 2. 12 to 6. 70 mg, The biotin-labeled rate varied from 48. 6% to 72. 2% respectively. The minimum detection limit of serum DSA-GGT in avidin-biotin ELISA was 2 μg/L. Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 8.9% and 11.5% respectively. The distribution of DSA-GGT values of 119 healthy subjects showed Gaussian distribution and its Mean ± SD was ( 1.50±0. 51 ) μg/L. Optimal cut-off value (3.25 μg/L) in the diagnosis of PHC was determined by ROC curve. DSA-GGT was positive in 26 out of 39 patients with PHC and 10 out of 122 patients with non-PHC diseases were positive. The sensitivity and specificity of this assay for the diagnosis of PHC were 66. 7% and 91.8% respectively. Conclusions The convenient avidin-biotin ELISA method was successfully established in our laboratory and it showed a good reproducibility and reliability. It may be a potential tool in the diagnosis of PHC to achieve higher sensitivity and specificity.
