Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with Shugan Jianpi Decoction for cirrhosis ascites. Methods Sixty patients with cirrhosis ascites were randomly divided into observation group and control group by random number method, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group received medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with Shugan Jianpi Decoction and regular Western medicine; while control group only received regular Western medicine. Two weeks was a course of treatment. The liver function (ALT, AST, TBIL, ALB, A/G), ascites integral changes and improving time of main clinical symptoms (abdominal distension, pain, anorexia, fatigue) were observed. The clinical curative effects of two groups were evaluated with 3 months of follow-up. Results The liver function (ALT, AST, TBIL, ALB, A/G) in the treatment group after treatment was significantly improved, and the ascites integral decreased, which was better than the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The improving time of main clinical symptoms in the treatment group was significantly shorter than the control group (P<0.05);The clinical effective rate was 90.00%(27/30) in the treatment group and 76.67% (23/30) in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with Shugan Jianpi Decoction has good efficacy for cirrhosis ascites.

OBJECTIVETo Verify the safety and reliability of one-stage repair of complete cleft Lip and palate in infancy and to obtain the primary result.

METHODSThe simultaneous repair of complete cleft Lip and palate in infants 3 to 12 months of age were performed in 271 cases. The deformities include 185 cases of typical complete unilateral clefts and 75 cases of complete bilateral clefts, and other 11 atypical cleft infants. The preoperative orthopedic treatment for wide alveolar cleft was undertaken in 24 infants and the lip appearance and speech outcome were evaluated in 116 children by 1 to 4 years' postoperative follow-up.

RESULTSAll infants, except for dyspnea in 2 babies, palatal fistula formation in 6 cases and temporary wound hemorrhage in 5 infants, were recovered without complications. After orthopedic treatment, the width of the alveolar cleft was reduced 6.1 mm in average. The evaluation showed that 93.1% of children had got good or excellent lip appearance. And the acceptable or excellent speech was found in 94.8% children.

CONCLUSIONSSimultaneous repair of complete cleft lip and palate in infancy is safety and reliable. The preoperative orthopedic procedure is able to reduce the wide alveolar cleft and to achieve alignment of alveolar segments. The acceptable and or excellent lip appearance and speech function could be obtained in this one-stage operative procedure in infants.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of baicalin on proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cells and its mechanism. Cell proliferation was assayed by using Cell Counting Kit-8. The morphological changes of HL-60 cells were examined by light microscopy and nucleolus morphological changes were observed by fluorescent microscopy after Hoechst 33342 staining. The early cell apoptosis was detected by using flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot assay was carried out to examine Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-3 expression. The results showed that Baicalin inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. HL-60 cells exhibited typical morphological features (for example, cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing and formation of apoptotic bodies). Cell apoptosis in early stage could be detected, the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax mRNA was obviously up-regulated, while the Bcl-2 expression down-regulated, and accordingly Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased. Such results were consistent with the expression of these proteins. In addition, the expression of cleaved caspase-8 protein was induced significantly after treated with baicalin. It is concluded that baicalin can significantly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells and induce the apoptosis of HL-60 cells, which may occur through decreasing Bcl-2/Bax ratio by intrinsic pathway and through extrinsic pathway. It suggests that baicalin may be a promising drug for the therapy of acute myeloid leukemia.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether activation of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mitoPTP) were involved in the cardioprotection of ethanol postconditioning in isolated rat heart.

METHODSHearts isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused on a langendorff apparatus and subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia (occlusion of left anterior descending artery) followed by 120 min of reperfusion. The ventricular hemodynamic parameters and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release during reperfusion were measured. Infarct size was measured by TTC staining method and the expression of ALDH2 at mRNA level of left anterior myocardium was detected by RT-PCR.

RESULTIn contrast to ischemia and reperfusion, ethanol postconditioning improved the recovery of left ventricular developed pressure, maximal rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure during reperfusion, reduced LDH release and infarct size. The expression of ALDH2 mRNA level was increased. Administration of mitoPTP activator atractyloside attenuated the effect of ethanol postconditioning, LDH release and infarct size were increased, and the recovery of hemodynamic parameters was inhibited. The expression of ALDH2 mRNA was decreased.

CONCLUSIONEthanol postconditioning has cardioprotection effect, which may be associated with upregulating mitochondrial ALDH2 mRNA expression and inhibiting the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore.

OBJECTIVERespiratory syncystial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory infections in infants worldwide. There is no reliable vaccine or antiviral drug against RSV at present. RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a potent method to degrade expression of the cognate mRNA. In order to inhibit the replication of RSV at gene level, the effects of specific RNAi against M2-1 gene of RSV on inhibition of viral replication in cell culture system was observed in this study.

METHODSRSV M2-1 gene, which plays a key role in RSV transcription, was chosen in this study and was used as target gene and recombinant plasmid pshRNA7816 targeting the mRNA of RSV M2-1 gene coding sequence was constructed. The pshRNA7816 was transfected into Hep2 cells. The effects of the pshRNA7816 on changes of cytopathogenic effect (CPE) of Hep2 cell induced by RSV infection were observed microscopically. Viral plaque forming assay and MTT assay were used to detect the viral titer change and protective function of the pshRNA7816 on RSV infected Hep2 cell.

RESULTSThe recombinant RNAi plasmid pshRNA7816 which targets the mRNA of RSV M2-1 gene was successfully constructed. The pshRNA7816 significantly reduced CPE of RSV infected Hep2 cells, reduced the viral titer of RSV in the cells (P < 0.001). The pshRNA7816 raised the survival rate of RSV infected Hep2 cells (P < 0.001). Non-specific pshRNA plasmid did not show anti-RSV effects (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe recombinant pshRNA7816 plasmid which targeted the mRNA of RSV M2-1 gene showed a significant and specific anti-RSV effect.
