This study aims to optimize the most effective component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma on lung cancer A549 using the orthogonal design method, and to investigate its effects of the component formula on cell proliferation, apoptosis and cytoskeleton in lung cancer A549 cells. The orthogonal design method was introduced to optimize the most effective component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma on lung cancer A549 cells. CCK-8 assay and Real-time cell analysis were adapted to analyze the effect of component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma on A549 cells viability at different time and dose. Cell apoptosis was measured by Annexin V- FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry. Cell skeleton protein F-actin was detected by high content screening (HCS). The optimizing component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma for total salvianolic acid, total saponins of panax ginseng and ginseng polysaccharide doses were 5, 10, 5 mg L(-1). CCK-8 assay and real-time cell analysis demonstrated that the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma treatment could significantly decrease the A549 cell viability in both dose- and time-dependent manner compared with control group (P < 0.01). Moreover, the increase of cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and flow cytometry when cells treated with the component formula, which indicating that the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma could induce A549 cell apoptosis in a time-dependent manner compared with control group (P < 0.01). Furthermore, compared with control group, a significant decrease in A549 cell skeleton area was found in the component formula-exposed cells in the dose-dependent manner (P < 0.01). In summary, the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma inhibits A549 cell proliferation by inducing cell apoptosis and decreasing cell microfilament formation. All of these results will be helpful to reveal antitumor mechanism of the component formula of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, which provides a basis for the exploration of antitumor mechanism of the component formula on lung cancer.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and imaging features of perinatal autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease ( ARPKD) and a systematic review of the literature was performed to improve awareness of the disease. Methods A newborn with infantile ARPKD admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital was studied and her clinical data and imaging features retrospectively reviewed. CNKI, CBMdisc, MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched using autosomal recessive, perinatal and polycystic kidney as keywords. 9 case reports were retrieved from 2005 to 2015 and a total of 9 patients were analyzed. Results The gestational age of patients with infantile ARPKD was from 33 to 37 weeks. 6 of them were diagnosed using prenatal ultrasound and one patient was diagnosed using genetic sequencing. One of 10 infants had a family history, 4 patientsˊ mothers had abnormal pregnancy history (spontaneous abortion or miscarriage) and 7 (70. 0%) patients with respiratory failure needed mechanical ventilation. The ultrasound of all the patients showed enlarged and hyperechogenic kidneys. 9 patients died, and only one patient was alive after renal transplant. Conclusions The characteristics of perinatal APRKD are enlarged and polycystic kidneys, hepatic cysts and liver fibrosis. Infants with this disease have poor outcomes and high mortality rate. Respiratory failure and renal failure are the main causes of death in the neonatal period and early diagnosis and treatment are necessary.

Objective To study the risk factors and prognosis of very/extremely low birth weight preterm (VLBW/ELBW) infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) during the first three years of life.Method From January 1st to December 31st,2012,a retrospective study was conducted on the VLBW/ELBW preterm infants with ＞ 28 days of hospitalization in the NICU of our hospital.The infants were assigned into BPD group (FiO2 ＞ 21％) and non-BPD group depending on the oxygen requirement on the 28th day after birth.The incidences of bronchitis,pneumonia,wheezing and re-hospitalization during the first three years of life were analyzed.The pulmonary function tests were performed at one-year-age.Independent-sapmles t test,Kruskal-wallis test and x2 test were used to compare the results between the two groups.Result A total of 72 patients were enrolled into this study.34 patients in the BPD group and 38 in the non-BPD group.The gestational age,birth weight and the use of INSURE technique of BPD group were significantly lower than non-BPD group,while the duration of hospital stays were longer than non-BPD group (P ＜0.05).The ratio of male,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS),patent ductus arteriosus (PDA),intrauterine infection,mechanical ventilation,nosocomial infection and the inhalation of high concentrations of oxygen were significantly higher in BPD group than non-BPD group (P ＜ 0.05).Incidences of bronchitis and wheezing during 0 ～ 1,1 ～ 2 and 2 ～ 3 years of age in the BPD were significantly higher than non-BPD group,separately.No significant differences existed in the incidences of pneumonia and re-hospitalization between the two groups.Pulmonary function test showed that the respiratory rate (RR) and peak tidal expiratory flow in the BPD group were significantly higher than non-BPD group,while the tidal volume,peak expiratory time and peak expiratory volume were significantly lower in BPD group than non-BPD group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion BPD often occurs in preterm infants with gestational age less than 32 weeks.It may cause impaired pulmonary function,characterized by obstruction in small airway,and increases the risk of bronchitis and wheezing during the first three year of life.
