The expression of PTEN mRNA and protein in the bystander cells,irradiated cells,non-irradiated cells was compared.Results:The protein expression of PTEN in the irradiated cells was negatively associated with the irradiation dose.The down-regulation degree of PTEN protein was related to the different treatments of cells.The most prominent down-regulation was found in the bystander cells cultured with medium of irradiated cells.The down-regulation of PTEN protein in the two kinds of bystander cells was more severe than that in the irradiated cells(P

Objective:To observe different effects of moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) on electrogastrogram (EGG) of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). Methods:A total of 65 cases were randomized into a Zusanli (ST 36) group (n=33) and a Yanglingquan (GB 34) group (n=32) by random serial number, to receive moxibustion therapy to the corresponding point respectively. The 8-lead EGG was used before and after treatment to collect EGG parameter of the gastric body, antrum of stomach, lesser curvature and greater curvature, including the dominant frequency, slow wave percentage, average frequency, response area and motility index. Results:After treatment, the dominant frequency and slow wave percentage were improved in nearly the whole stomach area in Zusanli (ST 36) group, showing statistical significances (bothP<0.05); the slow wave percentage and average frequency were improved in stomach body and antrum of stomach in Yanglingquan (GB 34) group, showing statistical significances (bothP<0.05); moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) had a significantly higher influence on EGG than Yanglingquan (GB 34) , in which the lifting of slow wave percentage was significantly higher than Yanglingquan (GB 34) group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) and Yanglingquan (GB 34) has the effect of adjusting abnormal EGG pattern in FD patients. Compared with Yanglingquan (GB 34), Zusanli (ST 36) has a superior effect in improving EGG in stomach area.

Sixty-four cases were randomly divided into the salvia mihiorrhiza group(31 cases)and the control group(33 cases). The therapeutic effect was assessed using JOA grade system. Results In the salvia mihiorrhiza group,the JOA average score was 8. 8 ±2. 6 before surgical treatment, after two weeks of surgical treatment it was 13. 7 ± 2. 4. The JOA improvement ratio was (61. 5 ± 2. 9) % . In the control group,the JOA average score was 9. 1 ±2. 2 before surgical treatment,after two weeks of surgical treatment it was 13. 4 ± 2. 3. The JOA improvement ratio was (60. 5 ± 2.2)% .The JOA improvement ratio in the salvia mihiorrhiza group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusions Salvia mihiorrhiza has protective effect on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and application of histopathology diagnosis of endometrial tissues obtained by endometrial cell collector (Jingyou, SAP-1). Methods One hundred and ninety-three patients whose endometrial lesions should be excluded were selected. First, endometrial tissue were obtained from the patients by Jingyou, then they underwent comprehensive curettage under hysteroscopy. The histopathology diagnosis was performed respectively. The specimen satisfaction rate and diagnostic accuracy was analyzed and compared. Results The specimen satisfaction rate of curettage under hysteroscopy was 95.85%(185/193). The specimens of 8 cases were not satisfied because the tissues were not enough. The specimen satisfaction rate of Jingyou was 82.38% (159/193). The specimens of 34 cases were not satisfied, among whom in 10 cases scratches did not throughout the whole palace antrum, and in 24 cases tissues quality were poor. The endometrial thickness in unsatisfactory specimen by Jinyou was significantly thinner than that in satisfactory specimen:(0.64 ± 0.18) cm vs. (0.97 ± 0.43) cm, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The diagnostic accordance rate between Jingyou and curettage under hysteroscopy was 79.87%(127/159). The sensitivity of Jingyou from high to low was 94.19% (81/86) in normal menstrual endometrial, 7/10 in endometrial carcinoma/ atypical hyperplasia, 67.86%(38/56) in endometrial hyperplasia and 1/7 in endometrial polyps. Missed diagnosis of jingyou inluded 2 cases of endometrial carcinoma and 4 cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia. The misdiagnosed rate of high grade endometrial lesions was 6/16, and the patients were misdiagnosed because the tissues were not enough. Four cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia had underwent conservative treatment of repeated curettage. Conclusions Application of Jingyou can obtain micro endometrial tissues, and the accordance rate of histopathology diagnosis is high with curettage under hysteroscopy. When the collector makes a comprehensive collection to the uterine cavity specimen, it can accurately screen endometrial carcinoma and atypical hyperplasia. The patients who have endometrial atypical hyperplasia and receive conservative treatment and curettage repeatedly curettage, thin endometrium and ultrasonic highly suspected endometrial polyps, are not recommend to use Jingyou to obtain specimen. When the specimen is not satisfied using the collector, additional hysteroscopy should be performed to avoid misdiagnosis of high grade endometrial lesions.

Background and purpose:miR-22 has been reported to be down-regulated in gastric cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. However, its expression in glioma was still poorly known. This study aimed to explicit whether miR-22 suppresses cell proliferation by targeting MTDH, thus to reveal molecular mechanism that miR-22 functions as a tumor suppressor in glioma. Methods:Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted for detecting the expression of miR-22 in gliomas and normal brain tissues. MTDH 3’UTR-luciferase vector was constructed and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to examine the effect of miR-22 on luciferase activity. U251 cells were transfected with miR-22 mimics, and MTDH siRNA as for postive control, then Western blot was performed to detect the expressions of MTDH protein. The proliferation ability of U251 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Results:miR-22 was down-regulated in glioma tissues. Glioma patients with relatively high expression of miR-22 showed lower mortality compared with low expression of miR-22 by using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. We demonstrated miR-22 could bind to the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of MTDH and inhibited the luciferase activity. Western blot showed that the expression of MTDH protein was inhibited by restored miR-22 or siR MTDH in U251 cells. Overexpression of miR-22 or siR MTDH inhibited the proliferation of U251 cells. Conclusion:miR-22 suppresses cell proliferation by targeting MTDH in glioma.

Objective To observe the long term effects of triancinolone acetonide(T-A)as a substitution for prednisone,a maintenance therapy in treating children with nephrotic syndrome(NS).Methods Twenty-five children with idiopathic NS(10 children with simple type NS and 15 children with nephritic type NS).Prednisone treatment for 4-8 weeks would bring remission,and immunosupression was added if remission failed.Then oral prednisone was reduced to 2 mg/kg per alternate day for 2 weeks,followed by a small dose of T-A(0.5-1.0 mg/kg)intramuscular injection,once a year per month for the first year,and every other month for the second year,as for the 8 frequently relapse cases,it would be every 3 months for the third year,other 17 cases stopped T-A intramuscular injection in the third year.Two weeks after T-A treatment stopped using prednisone.The relapse and the side-effects was observed through the observation of 25 NS children's clinical manifestation,routine urine test,and biochemistry variation before and during the T-A treatment,along with a 6 to 10 years follow-up survey after T-A therapy stopped.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 10.0 software.Results 1.Median dose of T-A was 0.97 mg/kg per time,total doses of T-A was 18.1 mg/kg(13.5-24.4 mg/kg).2.There were 16 relapse cases by prednisone treatment,while 7 relapse cases by T-A treatment for 2 years,there existed a significant comparison(P0.05).4.There were only 4 relapsed cases in the 6-10 years of follow-up observation,the difference was sharp compared with the 16 relapsed cases before T-A treatment(P

Objective To investigate the regulating effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (ZJJF) on Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-8 in hippocampus neuron damage in diabetes mellitus with depression (DD). Methods Hippocampal neurons from 18 d pregnant rats were primitively cultivated, and then combination of glucose and corticosterone was used to construct DD simulation environment. Cultivated hippocampal neurons were randomly divided into normal group, blank serum group, model group, positive medicine (metformin+fluoxetine) serum group and to-be-tested medicine (ZJJF) serum group. Normal group and model group were given same amount culture medium, while other group were given relevant amont of 10％ medicine serum or blank serum. After modeling intervention for 18 h,Hoechst staining was used to detect the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons. The expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-8 was detected by high content analysis. Results Compared with the control group, hippocampal neuron dendrites ruptured or decreased, neural network connection decreased, cells showed significant staining, broken, uneven distribution of light spots, the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased significantly (P<0.05), but Bax and Caspase-8 were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, hippocampal neurons in both positive medicine serum group and ZJJF serum group gradually recovered. Hoechst staining showed that the nuclei were significantly homogenized, local highlights were significantly reduced, Bcl-2 protein expression levels were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), while Bax and Caspase-8 were obviously down-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion ZJJF has protective effects on hippocampal neurons in DD of model rats, and its mechanism is related to regulating the expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-8 in hippocampus neuron.
