Objective To study the immune state and correlated strategy of patients with hepatic cirrhosis and primary hepatic carcinoma.Methods 17 patients with hepatic cirrhosis and 8 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC) in our hospital were collected since 2002.The indexcs of immune function were detected in all patients and some were re-examined.Results It was found that although the immune index varied in patients suffering from severe liver diseases,some regularities were shown as follows:(1)CD4 and CD4/CD8 in T lymphocyte subset declined markedly(P

Though prokaryotic cells could hardly express recombinant human beta nerve growth factor (rhNGF-?) with a proper three-dimensional conformation, using of E. coli as a host for industrial production of rhNGF-? is controversial. Recombinant human beta NGF was expressed in E. coli and was refolded in vitro. The isolated products was shown to be consistent with those expressed and secreted by CHO cells in biochemical characters by SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC, mass spectrometry, N terminal analysis and bioassay determined using DRG and PC12 cells. The products can be acquired with 95% purity, 1.8 ng/U biological activity from both expression system,which remain invariable biological activity when lyophilized in excipient and store at 37℃?2℃, RH 75%?5% for 3 months. Moreover, the product refolded from inclusion bodies of E. coli shows the predominance in homogeneity and the lower cost.

Objective: To summarize our experience on perioperative anesthesia management of patients with crush syndrome caused by earthquake under field condition. Methods: The clinical anesthesia data of 10 patients with crush syndrome caused by China Wenchuan earthquake, who were treated under field condition, were retrospectively analyzed, and our experience on perioperative anesthesia management was summarized. Results: After volume therapy, urine alkalization, and stabilization of internal environment, the 10 patients underwent debridement, decompression by fasciotomy or amputation under epidural anesthesia or brachial plexus block plus psychological therapy and moderate tranquillizer. During the operation, the patients showed smooth respiratory and cardiovascular characteristics without pain. Conclusion: Under field condition, regional anesthesia can provide adequate analgesic effect during and after the surgery. Early fluid resuscitation and life support are vital to the safety and life of patients.

Objective To review the recent studies on the suppressing function of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) in breast cancer metastasis. Methods The recent literatures on the mechanisms of BRMS1 in the breast cancer that were published in and abroad were reviewed and summarized. Results BRMS1, similar to the other anti-metastasis genes, only suppresses the metastasis of breast cancer cells but has nothing to do with the growth of tumor. BRMS1 could suppress metastasis of tumor cells by reestablishing both the homospecific and the heterospecific gap junctional intercellular comminications (GJIC) and by altering the expressions of relevant metastasis genes in the breast cancer. Conclusion Further studies on BRMS1 may be helpful to understand the metastasis of breast cancer, which may provide a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

The development and progress of gastric mucosal diseases is a complex process associated with multiple factors and underlying mechanisms,and individuals may present different genetic susceptibilities to gastric mucosal diseases. Various studies have demonstrated a strong link between Toll-like receptors( TLRs),as pattern recognition receptors,and the development and progress of gastric mucosal diseases. The gene polymorphisms of TLRs may change its encoded proteins or related signaling pathways,which results in different susceptibilities to gastric mucosal diseases;this might affect the development,progress and clinical outcome of the disease. In this review article,the advances in study on TLRs and its gene polymorphisms in gastric mucosal diseases were summarized.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which affects more than 35 million people worldwide with increasing tendency. AD brings stupendous economic burden for both the society and family. It has become a major global public health issue. Electro-acupuncture (EA) therapy has been widely used in AD treatment with satisfactory results. Based on the basic research, this paper explored the therapeutic effect of EA in AD treatment from the learning ability and morphological changes in AD animal models. From the cholinergic neuronal apoptosis theory, inflammatory response theory, oxidative stress theory and other aspects, the action mechanism of EA in the treatment of AD animal models were reviewed. At last, limitations of EA in AD treatment were analyzed. It proposed the outlook of a new type of EA-music EA in AD treatment. It provided a new idea and method for AD clinical treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of individualized enteral nutritional (EN) support in severe stroke patients.Methods: Totally 120 severe stroke patients with nutritional risk were divided into two groups according to single or double admission number.The 60 patients in the intervention group received an individualized EN with different formula and concentrations according to the clinical status,and supplemented trace elements as occasion required.In the routine group, the patients received EN with standard formula.The energy supply was 83-125 kJ· kg-1·d-1 in both groups.Blood albumin(Alb), pre-albumin(PA), hemoglobin(Hb) and vitamin C(VC) were examined before and after the 21-day nutritional support.The lung infection and gastrointestinal (GI) complications were observed, and the hospital stay and cost were recorded as well.Results: After 21 day''s nutrition support, the serum levels of Alb, PA and VC in the intervention group were not statisticly significant than before (P＞0.05), and the serum levels of Alb, PA and VC were significantly higher than those in the routine group(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications in the in the intervention group was lower than that in the routine group (P＜0.05), and the length of hospital stay and hospitalization was shorter than that in the routine group (P＜0.05).Conclusion: Individualized enteral nutritional support can significantly improve nutritional status, reduce inflammation reactions and GI complications in severe stroke patients, which is worthy of clinical use.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection pathogens. METHODS Statistical methods were used to analyz the data of pathogens origin and drug resistance from 2005 to 2007. RESULTS A total of 326 strains were isolated from 604 nosocomial infection cases (54.0%),from which the Gram-negative bacilli were predominate (44.1%). The isolation rate ot fungi and Gram-positie bacteria was 41.6% and 14.3%,respectiviely. The top three pathogens were the fungi (41.6%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa14.3%,and enterobacter (10.6%). The rate of ampicillin-resistant Escherichia coli was 100%.The isolation rate of MRSA and MRCNS was up to 100.0% and 80.0%. CONCLUSIONS Fungi is common high among pathogens.The emergence of drug-resistant pathogens will continue to be a serious problem,we must take it intimately.
