Objective To detect the effect of oridonin(ORI)on the gene expression of human esophageal carcinoma cell SHEEC and to screen the tumor cell apoptosis target genes.Methods The gene expression of human esophageal carcinoma cell SHEEC without and with ORI induction for 1 hours and 8 hours were detected with microarray technique,respectively.The differentially expressed genes were identified and verified with fluorecent quantitative PCR.Results A total of 1011 genes showed up or down regulation more than twice after ORI induction(including 280 genes after 1 hour and 731 genes after 8 hours induction respectively).In these genes,17 genes with the top extent of up or down regulation were identified,which were involved in the cell signal transduction,transcription regulation,and cell apoptosis.These 17 differentially expressed genes were verified with real-time PCR,and 12 genes were statistically significant.Conclusion In the 12 differentially expressed genes with statistically significance,there may have tumor cell apoptosis target genes induced by ORI through mitochondrion route.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of nedaplatin and cisplatin combined with docetaxel in the treatment of cervical cancer.Methods 80 patients with cervical cancer were selected as the research subjects.According to different chemotherapy regimens,they were divided into observation group(40 cases)and control group(40 cases).The observation group adopted nedaplatin combined with docetaxel chemotherapy regimen,while the control group used cisplatin plus docetaxel chemotherapy regimens.The clinical curative effect,adverse reaction of chemotherapy,hospitalization related indicators,etc were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 85.0%,which of the control group was 77.5%,the difference was not statistically significant(x2=0.739,P=0.739).The incidence rate of gastrointestinal reaction(Ⅰ-Ⅳ)in the observation group was 25.0%,which was lower than 82.5% in the control group(x2=26.560,P=0.000).The incidence rate of renal toxicity(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)of the observation group was 2.5%,which was lower than 17.5% of the control group(x2=5.000,P=0.025).The length of hospital stay of the observation group was(2.93 ±0.39)days,which was shorter than(4.97 ±0.81)days of the control group(t=14.352,P=0.000).The incidence rate of bone marrow inhibition(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)of the observation group was 43.0%,which was significantly higher than 25.0% of the control group(x2=4.381,P=0.036).1 year overall survival(OS),no local recurrence rate(LRF)and no distant metastasis survival rate(DMF)between the two groups had no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).Conclusion Efficacy of nedaplatin or cisplatin combined with docetaxel in adjuvant chemotherapy of cervical cancer has similar prognosis,nedaplatin has less toxicity,and can shorten the time of hospitalization,patients are more likely to accept,it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the relationship between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and child bacterial pneumonia. Methods BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 26 patients with bacterial pneumonia and 14 controls. Neutrophils and alveolar macrophages (AMs) of BALF were examined. Results BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8, total cell count and neutrophils of child bacterial pneumonia before treatment were significantly higher than those of pneumonia after treatment and controls (P<0.01). BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8 were significantly higher in Gram-negative infection than those in Gram-positive infection (P<0.01). BALF level of IL-6 showed positive correlation with AMs in pneumonia (r=0.7615, P<0.01). BALF level of IL-8 was correlated positively with neutrophils and AMs respectively in pneumonia (r=0.8956, r=0.6018, P<0.01). Conclusions IL-6 and IL-8 play the roles in the development of airway inflammation in child bacterial pneumonia. Detection of BALF levels of IL-6 and IL-8 is valuable to predict the state of child bacterial pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on protection of rat hippocampal neurons after cultured with high glucose concentrations.Methods Hippocampal neurons of neonatal SD rat were cultured in serum-free medium and divided into normal group,high glucose group and high glucose BDNF group.The morphological changes of the neurons were observed under inverted fluorescence microscope.Immunofluorescence stain for Map2 was performed to identify the purity of neurons.The survival of the neuron were tested by PI/Hoechest33342 staining.Results Compared with the normal group [survival rate (96.11 ± 1.63) ％],the number of PI positive neurons were significantly increased in the high glucose group [survival rate (76.29 ± 6.74) ％].Treatment with BDNF [survival rate (93.47 ±2.43) ％] significantly reduced the number of PI positive cells.Conclusion BDNF can protect rat hippocampal neurons from apoptosis induced by high glucose.

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of 30 ml low-dose contrast medium in reducing the accumulation of contrast medium in venous system while maintaining enough artery enhancement in 256-slice CT angiography (CTA) of intracranial and cervical arteries.Materials and Methods Sixty patients with head and neck CTA were recruited prospectively,and they were randomly divided into group A and group B.The scan parameters of the two groups were identical,but the protocol of contrast medium injection was different.Group A was injected 60 ml contrast medium and 30 ml saline successively with the rate of 4.0 ml/s.Group B was injected 30 ml contrast medium and 50 ml saline successively with the rate of 5.0 ml/s.CT attenuation values of aortic arch,common carotid artery,subclavian artery,cerebral middle artery,superior vena cava,innominate vein,subclavian vein,internal jugular vein were measured,and the image quality was evaluated.Results The average CT values of superior vena cava,right innominate vein,right subclavian vein in two groups had significant differences (P＜0.05).The average CT values of left brachial vein,left subclavian vein,left and right internal jugular vein in two groups had no significant differences (P＞0.05).The average CT values of aortic arch,left and right common carotid artery,left and right subclavian artery,left and right cerebral middle artery in two groups had significant differences (P＜0.05).The scores of image quality in two groups also had significant difference (P＜0.05).Conclusion Head-and-neck CTA with 30 ml low-dose contrast medium is feasible and the images are satisfactory for diagnosis,which can reduce the dose of contrast medium and accumulation of contrast medium in venous system,while maintaining enough artery enhancement.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ziprasidone mesylate injection on the acute agitation symptom in mental retardation. Methods The total of 80 patients of mental retardation with acute agitation symptoms were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group (40 patients) were intra-muscarly given with ziprasidone mesylate injection at the initial dose of 10 mg, 20 mg 4 h later, and 30 mg once on the second day and third day. And the control group (40 patients) were treated with haloperidol injection. The volume dose of haloperidol was 20 mg everyday. Other antipsychotic drugs, antimanic drugs and benzodiazepines were not allowed to be used during the observation, neither does the prophylactic use of drugs against parkinson's disease. Before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 h after treatment, the positive and negative scale ( PANSS) reduction rate, the end of the clinical global impression scale ( CGI) were assessed. By the end of the treatment, the adverse reactions symptom, cale ( TESS) was assessed for the safety. Results By the end of treatment PANSS reduction rate was 46. 31% in the test group and 48. 81% in the control group, the clinical improvement rate was 80. 00% in the treatment group and 82. 50% in the control group. No statistically significant difference on efficacy was found between two groups. The side reaction rate in the treatment group was 27. 5%, that in the control group was 40. 0%, there was significant difference ( P<0. 05) between two groups, but the extrapyramidal reaction in the control group was significantly more than that in the treatment group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Ziprasidone mesylate injection is effective on treating the symptoms of mental retardation, in corresponding to the effect of haloperidol injection,and with less extrapyramidal reactions.

Objective To improve detectable rate of gastric schwannoma by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Method Clinical data and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) imaging features of 4 cases were retrospectively ana-lyzed which diagnosed as gastric schwannoma pathologically and immunohistochemically while diagnosed as gastric stromal tumor by EUS from May 2008 to June 2015 and reviewed the literature. Results 4 cases of gastric schwan-nomas are female and benign, all 4 lesions are solitary, 3 in gastric body, and 1 in fundus by endoscopic. By EUS, all lesions are originated from muscularis propria, hypoechoic change, even echoes and clear board without calcifica-tion or cystic changes. 2 cases have halo artifacts around the lesion. Literature review found that gastric schwannoma tended to occur in female, halo artifacts could be the feature of gastric schwannoma, calcification or cystic changes were rare in gastric schwannoma which were common in gastric stromal tumors. Conclusion It was difficult to distin-guish gastric schwannoma and gastric stromal tumors that originated from muscularis propria by EUS. For female patients with lesions originated from muscularis propria, originated from muscularis propria and occurred in gastric body, it was necessary to observe lesions whether there was being calcification or cystic and halo artifacts. Integrated all these performance, we should be in consideration of gastric stromal tumors, meanwhile, excluding the possibility of gastric schwannoma.

BACKGROUND:Among many transplanted cells,adult autologous bone barrow-derived mononuclear cells have beenused in clinical practice because they are easy to be obtained,without immunological rejection and ethical disputationand other advantages.How to distinguish donor cells from receptors and observe the survival of donor cells following stem cell transplantation still trouble people.OBJECTIVE: superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)particles-labeled bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells from minipigs were used to observe the feasibility of in vivo tracking with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).DESIGN:A controlled observation experiment.SETTING:Institute of Cardiovascular Disease,Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University.MATERIALS:This experiment was carried out in the Institute of Cardiovascular Disease,Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University between April 2006 and August 2006.Healthy Chinese minipigs,aged 3 to 4 months,weighing from 20 to 30 kg,were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Southeast University[SYXK(Su)2002-0012].METHODS: Autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells of minipigs were isolated and cultured. Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells in the suspension were traced with SPIO particles.Ferrum in the cells were shown by Prussian blue staining, and cell viability was evaluated by trypan blue exclusion method. Eleven minipigs used for preparation of model of myocardial infarction were divided into experimental group(n=9)and control group(n=2).By means of percutaneous left or right cervical artery or femoral artery puncturation, 1.5 to 2.0 mm balloon was used to occlude 1/3 left anterior descending branch,304 to 405 kPa,60 minutes later,ischemic preconditioning was conducted 3 tO 4 times before operation. When pig models of myocardial infarction were successful that was proved by surface electrocardiogram,bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were percutaneously injected into coronary artery.Coronary arteriography was performed through femoral artery acupuncture at 24 hours after establishing infarction models.Suspension of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells was perfused into coronary artery with OTW catheter.Then,the injector and OTW catheter for containing cells were rinsed with normal saline containing heparin and infused with the residual cells within 10 minutes.Non-labeled cells were perfused in 2 minipigs of control group by the same method.Postoperatively, bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were traced by magnetic resonance and compared with Prussian blue-stained myocardial tissue sections.RESULTS: Seven minipigs of experimental group and one minipig of control group were Involved in the final analysis.One of each group was used for preparation of model of myocardial Infarction.One minipig of experimental group died from anesthetic accident before magnetic resonance.①Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells all were nearly labeled by SPIO particles. Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells could further proliferate in culture medium containing Fe2O3-PLL without obvious changes of cellular shape. ②T2+WI showed that 5 of 8 models of myocardial infarction presented fuzzy low-echo signal region in peripheral myocardial infarction after transplantation of labeled cells and the low-echo signal disappeared 4 weeks Iater. Ex vivo T2+WI sequence showed there was a dot-distributed low-echo signal region in the peripheral infarction region.③It was found in histological examination that 5 models(cell number over 106) had Prussian blue-positive cells,which distributed the same as those in magnetic resonance signal reducing region.CONCLUSION:SPIO particles-labeled bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells are safe and effective;T2+ WI is sensitive to tracing SPIO particles-labeled bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells;Magnetic resonance can in vivo trace SPIO particles-labeled stem cells transplanted through coronary artery,magnetic resonance signal change is related with the number of stem cells and division growth.
