3.Research progress in relationships between thyroid carcinoma and interferon-γand interleukin-6
Practical Oncology Journal 2017;31(1):88-92
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy in the endocrine system .In recent years ,the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased year by year ,which sparked people′s attention.With the development of thyroid cancer research ,it is found that cytokines play a key role in the occurrence and development of tumor .At present ,the cause of thyroid carcinoma and mechanism is not yet entirely clear ,however ,the occurrence of thyroid cancer is possiblely associated with the body regulating cellular immune dysfunction .Cytokines play an important role in the whole process ,in which the relationship between cytokines IFN -γ,IL-6 and thyroid carcinoma is closely related .
4.Effects of Hesperidin on RAW264.7 Foam Cell Formation And Expression of ICAM-1
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;19(3):474-479
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of hesperidin on the macrophage foam cell formation in RAW264.7 cells and the expression of ICAM-1.RAW264.7 cells were culture in vitro and induced by oxLDL (50 μg· mL-1).Furthermore,cells were separated into the control group,oxLDL model group and hesperidin treatment group.The effect of hesperidin on cell viability in RAW264.7 was assessed by MTF assay.Oil Red O staining was examined by foam cells formation.Effect of hesperidin on protein expression of ICAM-1 was analyzed by western blot.In addition,the effect of hesperidin on mRNA expression of ICAM-1 was assessed by RT-PCR.The results showed that the viability should been over 80% after less than or equal to 5 μM hesperidin treatment.Hesperidin decreased the protein expression of ICAM-1 in RAW264.7 cells.Additionally,hesperidin suppressed the mRNA expression of ICAM-1 in RAW264.7 cells.It was concluded that hesperidin can inhibit foam cell formation and the expression of ICAM-1 in RAW264.7 cells.It suggested that hesperidin protect against atherosclerosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of different acupoint combination on prevention and treatment of stress gastric ulcer and to search for a better acupoint combination.
METHODSThe theoretical basis and experimental research on treatment of stomach diseases with the combination of he-(sea) points and front-mu points as well as back-shu points and front-mu points are analyzed in this article.
RESULTSThe combination of he-sea points and front-mu points is suitable to be applied on acute diseases, febrile diseases and diseases of fu organs. While the combination of back-shu points and front-mu points is more applicable on chronic gastric diseases.
CONCLUSIONIt is proved that the combination of he-sea point (Zusanli ST 36) and front-mu point (Zhongwan CV 12) has reliable effect on prevention and treatment of stress gastric ulcer.

AIM:To evaluate the poor vision condition and analyze the myopia etiological factor in primary school He'xi district of Sanya.
METHODS: A cohort of 1 218 subjects were recruited randomly from grade 1~6 of two primary schools. Visual activity test, dioptroscopy and risk factor questionnaire were evaluated.
RESULTS: The prevalence of poor vision was 29. 55%. The incidence of myopia increased with grade, and was significantly higher in girls than that in boys. The outdoor activity time of myopic pupil ( 7. 25 ± 5. 35h/wk ) was significantly lower than emmetropic pupil (11. 86±6. 65h/wk) ( P < 0. 05 ). The usage of electronic product ( TV, computater and cell phone) time of myopic pupil (13. 36±8. 35h/wk) was significantly higher than emmetropic pupil (7. 75±5. 83h/wk) (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: The increase of myopia incidence is closely related with sparing outdoor activity and excess usage of electronic product.

Objective To investigate the effect of heat sensitive moxibustion combined with Bushen Huoxue traditional Chinese medicine for treating sterility due to ovulatory dysfunction, provide evidence-based medicine proof for clinical treatment of ovulation dysfunction infertility optimization scheme.Methods This was a prospective, randomized, parallel controlled study.The control group injected recombinant human chorionic gonadotrophin ( HCG) by intramuscular, the observation group used the traditional Chinese medicine heat sensitive moxibustion combined with Bushe Huoxue herbs therapy, with the total curative effect, the ovulation rate, pregnancy rate, B ultrasound follicle image as the main observation indexes to judge the effect of treatment.Results After treatment, the of control group and treatment group patients were able to ovulate; the total effective rate of treatment group was 100%, slightly higher than the control group, by Ridit analysis, R =0.523, P =0.720; after treatment, two groups of pregnancy success rate approaches, P=0.243, with no significant difference; the average healing time was shorter than that of control group (P<0.05); the diameter of the largest follicle increased in two groups after treatment, but the difference was not statistically significant;the treatment group improved the total efficiency of the kidney deficiency was higher than that in control group, but the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion Application of combined treatment of Bushen Houxue herbs and heat sensitive moxibustion can improve the ovulation rate and pregnancy rate in patients of ovulation dysfunction infertility with kidney deficiency and blood stasis, convenient and economic.

Objective To establish and investigate C57 BL/6 mice model of radiation induced heart injury and ser-um marker. Methods Twenty eight female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal group (n=4 ) , 18 Gy radiation therapy group ( n=12 ) , 25 Gy radiation therapy group ( n=12 ) . The mice were weighed every week. Respectively, 0, 8 and 16 weeks after irradiation, the pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed by hemetoxylin-eosin( HE) staining and made pathological score. Inferior vena cava blood was collected to take cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) test. Results Compared with the normal group,the weight of radiation group went down first then went up slowly. The myocardial tissue from mice had obvious histopathological changes. Acute in-flammation was the main change in the early days. At the late stage, progressive fibrosis was the main characteris-tic. With the increase of the dose, the inflammatory reaction and fibrosis degree had aggravated, pathological chan-ges had occurred earlier. cTnI showed a trend of higher performance over time, and had a correlation with patholo-gy. Conclusion We successfully established radiation induced myocaridal injury model. As a noninvasive serum marker, cTnI can be used as the evaluation standard of radiation induced myocardial injury animal model.
