Purpose:To study the effects of hydroxycamptothecin with thermotherapy on anti-angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Methods:We chose human microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) culture and chick embryo choriallantoic membrane (CAM) model and used MTT and number-calculating methods to observe hydroxycamptothecine on HMVEC’s proliferation , sprouts and CAM blood vessels’ formation.Results:The survival rate of endothelial cells was in the range of (68.2%)-44.7% within the dose of 20-40 ng/ml and 5-80 ng/ml and was negatively correlated with the concentration (correlation coefficient was -0.906,-0.469,P=0.00003,0.0051). Hydroxycamptothecine could significantly suppress the endothelial cells’ proliferation and the sprouts. Hydroxycamptothecine could significantly suppress CAM vessels. The survival rate of HepG II cells is in the range 100%-90% within the dose of 5-80 ng/ml. There was no cytotoxicity.There was a synergestic anti-angiogenetic effect when hydroxycamptothecin (20 ng/ml) was combined with thermotherapy in vitro while there was additive effect when hydroxycamptothecin (40 ng/ml) was combined with thermotherapy in vitro.Conclusions:This experiment shows that small doses of hydroxycamptothecine (20-40 ng/ml) with thermotherapy has anti-angiogenetic synergestic or additive effect on proliferation and migration both in vivo and in vitro.

Objective To investigate the effect of postnatal music exposure on fearful behavior of prenatal stressed rats in defensive withdrawal test and the expression of gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) in the amygdala. Methods Wistar pregnant rats were divided in stress group (n=8) and control group (n=8). The stress group were immobilized and bright lighted 45 min, 3 times a day, when gestation 11-20 days, while the control group without any stress. The new born rats from the stress group were exposed in music (SM group) or white noise (SW group) for 45 min twice a day since 1 day after born, and the rats from the control (SC) group left undisturbed. They were tested with defensive withdrawal test 60 days after birth, and the GRPR levels in the amygdala were measured with immunofluorescence and real-time PCR. Results The latency was shorter and the frequence out of the chamber was the most in the SM group of the defensive withdrawal test (P<0.001), while GRPR-positive cells and GRPR mRNA increased in amygdala (P<0.001). Conclusion Postnatal music exposure can counteract the abnormal behavior response of prenatal stressed offspring and accompany with increased expression of GRPR in the amygdala.

Objective To investigate clinical predictors in early pregnancy for adverse pregnancy outcomes in women complicated with chronic nephropathy. Methods One hundred and eighty-four pregnancies complicated with chronic nephropathy who delivered between January, 2005 and January, 2014 in Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred pregnant women without chronic nephropathy were selected as the control group. Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Relationships between clinical predictors in early pregnancy [age, history of kidney disease, drugs used before pregnancy (in three months), results of renal biopsy, blood pressure, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, 24 h urinary protein, estimated glomerular filtration rate, stage of chronic nephropathy] and adverse pregnancy outcomes [maternal mortality;pregnancy complicated by severe preeclampsia;renal function decline, early preterm birth, very low birth weight infants, fetal loss after 20 weeks of pregnancy] were assessed by logistic regression analysis. T-test, Chi-square test and multivariate regressions were used for statistical analysis. Results There were 174 and 197 livebirths in the study and the control groups, respectively. The most popular type of chronic nephropathy in pregnant women was IgA nephropathy (38.6%, 71/184). Compared with the control group, the risk of premature labor [9.8%(17/174) vs 3.0%(6/197), χ2=7.184], low birth weight infants[18.4%(32/174) vs 7.1%(14/197),χ2=9.813], very low birth weight infants [5.7%(10/174) vs 1.5%(3/197),χ2=4.536], fetal loss after 20 weeks of pregnancy [5.7%(10/184) vs 1.5%(3/200), χ2=4.536] and severe preeclampsia [17.9%(33/184) vs 1.5%(3/200), χ2=33.544] increased significantly in the study group (all P < 0.05). Twenty-four-hour urinary protein content (OR=1.84, 95%CI: 1.36-2.50, P=0.001) and mean arterial pressure (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 1.00-1.07, P=0.027) in early pregnancy were risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes. The risk of renal function decline increased significantly in patients with higher stages of chronic nephropathy in early pregnancy (OR=6.50, 95%CI: 3.34-8.21, P<0.01). Mother complicated by preeclampsia during pregnancy was an independent risk factor (OR=11.10, 95%CI: 4.48-27.20, P<0.01). Compared with women whose 24 h urinary protein content less than 1g in early pregnancy (122 livebirths within 126 cases), the risk of premature labor [17.3%(9/52) vs 6.6%(8/122), χ2=4.780], increased significantly in women whose 24 h urinary protein content were more than or equal to 1 g in early pregnancy (52 livebirths within 58 cases) (P<0.05). Conclusions Elevated urinary protein level and mean arterial pressure in early pregnancy were risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The risk of renal function decline increased in patients with higher stages of chronic nephropathy in early pregnancy. Mother complicated by preeclampsia during pregnancy was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of the fetus.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal human cancers. Cur-rent studies on the relationship between complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and PDAC prognosis have demonstrated inconsis-tent results. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between complicated T2DM and the clinicopathological characteris-tics of PDAC, and evaluate whether complicated T2DM is a significant predictor for overall survival in patients with resectable PDAC. Methods: In this study, clinicopathological characteristics were observed in 136 patients who underwent surgery for PDAC at the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between January 2009 and February 2011. The relationship between complicated T2DM and overall survival of PDAC patients was analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:The median age of pa-tients was 60 years (range: 35-80 years). Among the 136 patients, 76(55.9%) were male. The prevalence of complicated T2DM was 27.9%in 136 PDAC cases. Preexisting T2DM was not associated with any of the clinicopathological characteristics (all P>0.05). Uni-variate analysis showed that complicated T2DM (P=0.045), maximum diameter (P=0.011), histological differentiation (P=0.013), pT stage (P=0.034), vessel invasion (P=0.032), and pTNM stage (P=0.030) were significantly associated with the overall survival of PDAC patients. The median overall survival time was 14.2 months for T2DM patients, and 18.8 months for non-T2DM patients. In mul-tivariate analysis, complicated T2DM [hazard ratio (HR), 1.873;95%confidence interval (CI), 1.187-2.954;P=0.007], poorly differenti-ated tumor (HR, 2.647;95%CI, 1.413-4.957;P=0.002), and maximum diameter≥4.0 cm (HR, 1.699;95%CI, 1.094-2.640;P=0.018) were the independent predictors associated with poor overall survival. Conclusion:Complicated T2DM was associated with poor prog-nosis. It could be used as a prognostic predictor in patients with resectable PDAC. If confirmed, these findings may provide a novel ap-proach for individualized adjuvant therapy.

Objective Based on dual channel melting curve analysis-based assay,we developed a method to rapidly detect the drug-resistant mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through real-time PCR.Methods According to the common first-line drug-resistant mutations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis,we designed six dual-labeled fluorescence probes to rapidly detect the drug-resistant mutations through realtime PCR melting curve after amplifications of drug-resistant related gene region of DNA.The targets include rpoB 81 bp core region,katG315,inhA promoter,ahpC promoter and embB306.To validate the sensitivity and specificity of our method,we performed real-time PCR assays to detect drug-resistant mutations in 76 clinical MDR-TB samples,which were collected by Shanghai CDC in 2008.Results In the validation,this method successfully detected drug-resistant mutations in all 76 clinical MDR-TB samples.The △Tm of mutations were from 1.8 to 14.4 ℃.Comparing with the sequencing data,all mutations covered by the six probes were detected with 100％ sensitivity and 100％ specificity (rpoB,80/80; inhA,7/7 ; katG315,59/ 59;ahpC,8/8;embB306,27/27).This method can successfully detect drug-resistant mutations from 100 copies/μl DNA samples.Conclusions A widely applicable real-time PCR assay to detect first line drug-resistant mutations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has benn developed.This method has proven to have the advantages of high sensitivity,specificity and low risk of contamination.It can be used in rapid diagnosis of clinical drug-resistant tuberculosis and the evaluation of laboratory drug sensitivity test.

Objective To explore the effect of Da Vinci robot?assisted laparoscopic radical prostatecto?my on the respiratory function of elderly in Intensive Care Units( ICU) . Methods Thirty?nine elderly patients received Da Vinci robot?assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy ( RARP ) from January 2015 to April 2016 and 25 cases received conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy from January 2014 to December 2014 ad?mitted into ICU were retrospectively analyzed. Their comorbidities,blood loss and transfusion during surgery,ate?rial blood gas(ABG) analysis and respiratory complications after operation,clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. Results Compared with conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy,RARP group spent more time in surgery((4. 23±1. 44) h vs. (3. 25±1. 31) h,t=2. 783,P<0. 05),more patients need venti?lation(11 vs. 1,χ2=4. 378,P<0. 05) . ABG analysis showed respiratory and metabolic acidosis with lower pH (7. 29±0. 09 vs. 7. 35±0. 05,t=3. 886,P<0. 05),HCO3?((20. 05±2. 50) mmol/L vs. (22. 86±2. 53) mmol/L,t=3. 473,P<0. 05),BE(-5. 11±3. 94 vs.-3. 64±1. 17,t=5. 018,P<0. 05) and higher pCO2(46. 15±8. 31 vs. 40. 25±6. 57,t=2. 475,P<0. 05),Lac((3. 54±1. 99) mmol/L vs. (2. 91±1. 39) mmol/L,t=2. 254,P<0. 05) . Conclusion RARP may cause carbon dioxide retention and respiratory complications on elderly pa?tients. It may reduce postoperative respiratory complications by shortening surgery time,lowering pneumoperitone?um pressure,hyperventilation,recruitment maneuvers and chest physical therapy.
