Objective To study the effect and mechanism of polypeptide from Chlamys farreri(PCF) on the thymocytes damaged by 60Co γ-rays. Methods The ceils were randomly divided into six groups: control group, 60Co groups (2 Gy, model),60Co + 0.5% PCF, 60Co+ 0.25% PCF, 60Co + 0.125% PCF, 60Co +0.1% VitC. The concentration of GSH-Px, ROS, A-SAC, T-AOC and the cells' viability were determined. The mitochondria membrane potential were tested. The expressions of P53, Bax and Bel-2 proteins were examined.Results The activities f GSH-Px, A-SAC, T-AOC in cells were enhanced, and the amounts of ROS were decreased by PCF. The expression of Bcl-2 gene was up-regulated, and down-regulated for the expression of P53 and Bax. All observed indexes of the PCF groups were significantly different compared with model group (P <0.05). Conclusions PCF has the protective effects on damages of thymocytes caused by 60Co irradiation. The mechanisms might be related to inhibiting of lymphocyte apoptosis and enhancing the activities of lymphocytes.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy of postauricular injection of shuxuening combined with lidocaine in treating intermediate and high-frequency sudden hearing loss.METHODS48 patients with intermediate and high-frequency sudden hearing loss were randomly divided into postaurical injection group (n=24) and control group (n=24). The control group was given hormone, microcirculation improvement, nutrition of nerve and other conventional treatment. The postauricular injection group received 3 doses of postauricular inject of 0.5ml shuxuening and 0.3ml lidocaine tertian injection in addition to conventional treatments.RESULTSTwo weeks after administration, the total effective rates of postauricular injection group 87.5%were significantly higher than that of the control group 62.5%. Pure tone average improved (20.74±15.19)dB on average in the postauricular group, and (12.44±9.12)dB in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONPostauricular injection of shuxuening combined with lidocaine treatment for intermediate and high-frequency sudden hearing loss has better curative effect than that of the conventional treatment.

Objective To evaluate the value of Univent tube in the airway management during one-lung ventilation. Methods A total of 40 patients with pneumothorax undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were randomly divided into Univent (U) and double-lumen tube (Robertshaw) (D) groups (20 in each). In U group, intubation was performed under the guidance of a fibreoptic bronchoscope; while in D group, the position of the tube was confirmed using fibreoptic bronchoscopy after intubation. The time of intubation, number of secondary dislodgements, quality of lung deflation, peak airway pressure during one-lung ventilation, and blood artery gas analysis data in the two groups were recorded 30 minutes after one-lung ventilation. Results The intubation time in U group was significantly longer than that in D group [(6.18?1.26) min vs (3.26?0.82) min, t=8.654, P=0.000]. The number of secondary dislodgements was 7 in U group, and 5 in D group(U=187.500, P=0.663). No significant difference was detected in the quality of lung deflation between the two groups, (U group: 15 excellent, 3 fair, and 2 poor; D group: 17 excellent, 2 fair, and 1 poor;U=179.500, P=0.583). The peak airway pressure during one-lung ventilation in U group was significantly lower than that in D group [(15.3?3.5) cm H2O vs (21.4?6.6) cm H2O, t=-3.649, P=0.001]; and the oxygen pressure in group U was significantly higher than that in group D [(303.8?65.7) mm Hg vs (258.4?72.9) mm Hg, t=2.066, P=0.046]. No significant difference was found in carbon dioxide pressure and oxygen saturation between the two groups. Conclusion During VATS, univent tube showed the same effectiveness and safety as DLT for one-lung ventilation.

Objective To explore the independent risk factors and distribution of intracranial arterial stenosis in young pa‐tients with acute lacunar infarction .Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 30-45 year‐old young patients with lacunar infarction who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University .The patients were divided in‐to two groups according to their skull blood vessel examination :intracranial arterial stenosis group and intracranial arterial stenosis group .Results There were 28 cases of intracranial large artery stenosis and 17 cases without stenosis in 45 young patients ,it was found that the levels of triglyceride ,low density lipoprotein cholesterol and carotid artery plaque in the intracranial arterial stenosis were significantly less than those of the intracranial artery stenosis (P<0 .05) .In the intracranial artery stenosis group ,15 cases were single vessel stenosis ,13 cases were multiple stenosis ,the difference was not statistically significance (P>0 .05) .Simple ante‐rior circulation stenosis in 12 cases ,simple posterior circulation stenosis in 8 cases ,only the anterior and posterior circulation in‐tracranial artery stenosis ,vascular risk factors were not statistically significant ( P> 0 .05 ) .Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that LDL cholesterol was an independent risk factor of intracranial arterial stenosis .Conclusion With intracranial artery stenosis in young patients with lacunar cerebral infarction prone to progressive stroke ,young patients with cerebrovascular infarc‐tion should be examined .

Objective To determine the effect of diffusion chamber for immune isolation and the proliferation of allogenic hybridoma within diffusion chamber in mice. Methods The hybridoma cell strain was established from SP2/0 cells and the splenocytes of BALB/c mouse by PEG mediate technique. The cells were injected peritoneally into BALB/c ( n =5) and C57 BL/6 (B6, n =5) mice. Diffusion chambers with microporous membrane containing hybridoma cells were implanted peritoneally into 5 BALB/c and 5 B6 mice. Results Within two months after peritoneal injection of the cell strain, four BALB/c mice developed bloody ascites and one developed abdominal tumor, but the B6 mice developed neither ascites nor tumor. After 30 and 101 days of the chamber implantation, the chambers were coated by omentum or mesenterium in all the animals of both strain groups and freshly formed blood vessels to the chamber membrane could be observed. Within the chambers, tumor developed, but the tumor could not fully fill the inner space of the chamber during the whole observation period. Conclusion The hybridoma cells established from SP2/0 cells and the splenocytes of BALB/c mouse may carry BALB/c MHC antigen. The diffusion chambers can effectively isolate immune rejection. Freshly formed blood vessels to the chamber membrane can support the cells within the chambers.

People departure from the treatment, prevention and health care purposes, intermittently or continuously excessive use of drugs with dependence, will cause serious mental and physical damage, while serious social harm.Opioids are the most commonly abused drug, abusers by taking an excess number of pills orally or by crushing the pills, followed by smoking, snorting, or injecting the new altered formulation to get euphoric.The escalating abuse of opioids has recently spawned the development of novel drug formulations resistant to various methods of tampering and misuse.This article discusses available opioids that include abuse-deterrent mechanisms as well as such agents currently in development.
