Objective To explore the mechanisms of ischemia-reperfasion(I/R)injury of the bile duet and the effect of Atomolan on Isehemia-reperfusion injury of the bile duct in liver transplantation.Methods Pathological changes of the bile duct cells in three groups of rat liver transplantation model were observed through light microscope.And the effective protection of Atomolan against ischemia-repeffusion injury was observed.Results In ischemia-reperfusion group,the injury of bile duct cells were more serious,the level of ALT,AST and γ-glutamyhransferase elevated higher,oxygen free radical generated more,and the apoptosis of bile duct ceils appeared more,compared with Atomolan pretreatment.Conclusion The injury in bile duct cells is more serious than that in hepatoeyte in I/R injury.Atomolan can provide effective protection against liver Ischemia-reperfusion injury.The mechanisms may be through depress the production of oxygen free radical and decrease the apoptosis of bile duct cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of gemcitabine, paclitaxel combined with nedaplatin in treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods 40 patients diagnosed as locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma from May 2012 to August 2014 were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Patients in the observation group received gemcitabine plus nedaplatin chemotherapy, while those in the control group received paclitaxel plus nedaplatin chemotherapy. Then chemotherapy effect, adverse reactions, survival time and tumor marker contents were compared. Results The effective rate of the observation group was 65 % (13/20), which was higher than that (30 %, 6/20) of the control group (χ2 = 4.912, P< 0.05), however, there were no statistically differences in gastrointestinal reactions, bone marrow suppression, liver damage, kidney damage between groups (P> 0.05). Before chemotherapy, the SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 content of the control group were (2.30 ±0.31) ng/L and (18.27±2.19)μg/L, and the observation group were (2.34±0.27) ng/L and (18.48±2.25)μg/L, and there was no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). After chemotherapy, the SCCAg and CYFRA21-1 content of the control group were (1.92±0.22) ng/L and (13.72±1.74) μg/L, and the observation group were (1.20 ±0.15) ng/L and (8.49 ±0.91) μg/L (P= 0.000). Conclusion Gemcitabine combined with nedaplatin chemotherapy can improve the chemotherapy effect and reduce tumor marker content, without increasing more adverse reactions, which is an ideal chemotherapy regimen for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To determine the prognostic significance of non-thyroidal illness syndrome(NTIS) and FT3 on long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods A total of 1 354 patients underwent coronary angiograhy and participated in the study.After screening,984 patients with CAD were enrolled finally and divided into NTIS group and euthyroid group.The admitted patients were also classified into Tertile 1-3 groups based on FT3 value.The relationship of long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality with FT3 was investigated by multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results 129 out of 984 patients had NTIS.As FT3 value decreased,both long-term all-cause mortality (Tertile 1 group 9.6％,Tertile 2 group 11.5％,Tertile 3 group 20.9％,P＜0.01) and cardiovascular mortality (Tertile 1 group 4.5 ％,Tertile 2 group 7.2％,Tertile 3 group 11.0％,P＜0.01) gradually increased.After adjusting for all factors,FT3 (HR =0.614,95％ CI 0.439-0.859)was independently associated with long-term all-cause mortality.FT3 (HR =0.605,95％ CI 0.370-0.986)was also a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality.Conclusion NTIS exists in patients with CAD without myocardial infarction.FT3 reduction is an independent risk factor for long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with CAD.

Objective To explore the effect of motivational interviewing in caring type 2 diabetic patients with gastric bypass. Methods Eighteen type 2 diabetes patients from June 2012 to November 2012 were assigned in the control group and another 20 patients during December to May 2013 in the intervention group. The control group received the traditional nursing, while the intervention group received motivational interviewing. The two groups were compared in terms of anxiety, self-management ability and blood glucose. Result The follow-up 3 months after intervention showed the intervention group was significantly better than the control group in terms of anxiety, self-management ability and blood glucose (P<0.05). Conclusion The motivational interviewing can improve psychological state and self-management skill of patients so that recovery process is facilitated.

Objective:To investigate the changes in gut microbiota diversity with age in elderly people using high-throughput sequencing.Methods:Ninety healthy volunteers were recruited. People who were <60 years old (middle-aged group) were set up as a baseline control group (Age A group), while those aged ≥60 years old were further divided into four groups (60-<70: Age B group, 70-<80: Age C group, 80-<90: Age D group, ≥90: Age E group). Fecal samples were collected to extract DNA. The second-generation sequencing technology was used to amplify and sequence the V3-V4 hypervariable region of 16S rDNA. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to compare the differences in gut microbiota and functional genes among groups.Results:At the phylum level, gut microbiota were composed mainly of Firmicute, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria in different groups. The proportion of Firmicute was the highest, accounting for over 60%, followed by that of Bacteroidetes. At the genus level, the abundance of Faecalibacterium genus decreased with age. The α diversity analysis showed that the gut microbiota in the elderly of different ages had higher abundance and uniformity, and there was no significant difference among groups. However, the β diversity analysis showed that in community structure there was difference between Age A and Age B groups, and similarity between Age B and Age C groups. Conclusions:The community structure of gut microbiota changed significantly between young and middle-aged people and the elderly over 60 years old. It tended to be relatively stable in people of 60-80 years old, but changed again when they were over 80 years old. Chronic inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases and tumors in the elderly might be associated with the decrease in Faecalibacterium.

Objective To investigate the preventive therapeutic effect and possible mechanism of single chain variable fragments chimeric protein (SD) of ovalbumin epitopes internalizing receptor DEC-205 antibody on food allergy in mice. Methods Mice were randomly divided to five groups (control, PBS, scFv DEC 100 μg, SD 50 μg, SD 100 μg) and treated for 24 hours before OVA administration. After challenge, the serum level of OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, IgG2a and IL-4 were detected by ELISA. Infiltration of eosinophils and mast cells in the jejunum was observed by HE staining and toluidine blue staining respectively. The bone marrow of tibia and femur was isolated and cultured to obtain immature dendritic cells(BMDCs), which were further treated with LPS (10 ng/mL), TSLP (50 ng/mL), scFv DEC protein (1000 ng/mL) and SD protein (10,100,1000)ng/mL for 24 hours, and the IL-10 level of supernatant was assayed by ELISA. Results Compared with PBS group, the number of SD-treated mice with diarrhea was markedly reduced. The difference in rectal temperature and the levels of serum OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, IgG2a and IL-4 decreased significantly after prophylactic administration of SD; The number of eosinophils and mast cells in jejunum also decreased significantly while the IL-10 level in the supernatant of BMDCs increased significantly after SD intervention. Conclusion SD mitigates experimental FA response by fosters the immune tolerance property of dendritic cells.
