Objective To observe the preemptive analgesia effect of parecoxib sodium in patients undergoing laparoscopic cervical carcinoma radical resection.Methods Seventy patients undergoing laparoscopic cervical carcinoma radical resection were randomly divided into 2 groups with 35 cases each. Parecoxib sodium 40 mg was injected intravenously 10 min before operation and repeatedly given every 12 h. Equal volume physiological saline was given at same time in the control group. Two groups received postoperative PCIA with morphine. The numerical rating scale （NRS） was used to rate pain intensity at following time points：immediately after extubation,2,6,12,18,and 24 h after operation. Twenty-four hour morphine consumption and side effects were recorded.Results The NRS rating of pain at each time point in the parecoxib group was significantly lower than that of the control group （P0.05）,and the total morphine consumption （10.4±7.6）mg was less than the control （17.7±8.9）mg （P0.05）; correspondingly,the incidences of nausea,vomiting and drowsiness were less,and the number of patients left bed for activity was increased in the parecoxib group than those in the control one （P0.05）. Conclusion Preoperative parecoxib sodium 40 mg can improve the analgesic effect of PCIA with morphine,and reduce morphine consumption and the incidences of side effects.

OBJECTIVE: Investigate the effect of oxidative stress on the occurrence and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma associated with smoking, and the clinical diagnostic value of catalase on smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. METHOD: Collecting 119 smokers(including the smoking related laryngeal cancer group 68 cases, the control group 51 cases), the indexes of catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO) in blood plasma and cancerous tissue in two groups were compared. The association between these oxidative stress indicators and the occurrence and severity of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was analysised by SPSS 17.0. RESULT: (1) Compared with control group, the smoke frequency and amount, CAT, MDA, GSH increased significantly in the smoking related laryngeal cancer group (P = 0.000; 0.000; 0.000; 0.000; 0.000); whereas SOD, NO decreased (P = 0.000; 0.000). (2) The lower the differentiation degree, the higher the serum CAT (P = 0.000) and the higher CAT, MDA, GSH of larynx tissue (P = 0.000; 0.000; 0.000), but the lower the serum NO (P = 0.000) and the lower SOD, NO of larynx tissue (P = 0.000; 0.000); The higher the clinical stage, the higher CAT of serum and larynx tissue and the higher GSH of larynx tissue (P = 0.000; 0.001), the lower NO of larynx tissue (P = 0.009). (3) The serum CAT, MDA were independent risk factors of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OR = 1.060, 2.475; P < 0.01, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Oxidative stress is the key factor of the occurrence of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and the CAT can be used as the indicator of clinical diagnosis of smoking related laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To find out the distribution of drinking-tea-borne fluorosis in the six ethnics in Qinghai Province, and to provide basic data for prevention and control of the disease. Methods In 2010, according to the requirement of “The National Surveillance Program of Drinking-Tea-borne Fluorosis”, six ethnics accounted for 99.59% of total population in Qinghai Province were investigated in 28 counties having brick-tea drinking habit. Three townships and a town in each county, two administrative villages(residents’ committee) in each township and town were chosen and 50 adults in each administrative village and residents ’ committee were selected to check skeletal fluorosis, dental fluorosis, urine fluoride and daily drinking amount of tea water. Five to six samples of drinking tea water were determined. Dental fluorosis was examined by Deans method; the fluoride content of brick-tea and urine were determined by fluoride ion selective electrode; the skeletal fluorosis was diagnosed based on “Endemic Osteofluorosis Clinical Indexing Diagnosis Standard”( WS 192-2008 ) . Results A total of 10 335 adults were surveyed, the number of Tibetan, Han, Hui, Mongolian, Tu and Salar ethnics were 4 972, 3 063, 1 196, 634, 235 and 235, respectively. The daily drinking amounts of tea water in Mongolian, Tibetan, Hui, Tu, Han and Salar ethnics were 2.53, 2.19, 1.74, 1.63, 1.22 and 1.07 L, respectively. Daily fluoride intakes in Tibetan, Mongolian, Tu, Hui, Han and Salar ethnics were 3.99, 2.78,2.27, 2.16, 1.78 and 1.28 mg, respectively. The medians of urinary fluoride concentration of the Tibetan, Tu, Hui, Han, Mongolian and Salar ethnics were 1.46, 1.19, 1.12, 0.98, 0.93 and 0.81 mg/L, respectively. The prevalence rates of dental fluorosis of the Hui, Han, Tibetan, Tu, Mongolian and Salar ethnics were 34.53%(413/1 196), 27.07%(829/3 063), 21.60%(1 074/4 972), 20.00%(47/235), 17.98%(114/634) and 6.38%(15/235), respectively. The incidence rates of clinical skeletal fluorosis of the Tibetan, Mongolian, Han, Hui, Tu and Salar ethnics were 13.42%(667/4 972), 11.04%(70/634), 9.31%(285/3 063), 7.61%(91/1 196), 5.53%(13/235) and 4.26%(10/235), respectively. Conclusions The distribution and prevalent status of drinking-tea-borne fluorosis in the six ethnics of Qinghai Province are different. Tibetan and Mongolian ethnics are the key population concerning the prevention and control of the disease.

The rat model of dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammation disease (PID), and uterine myoma were established to observe the effect ofGui-Zhi Fu-Ling Capsule (GZFLC) with the changes of main components. The molecular imprinted technology was used to quantitatively knock out main components in GZFLC (the knocked-out ratios were 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%). And the observation was made on the writhing times, latency, and effects on ET-1 and PGF2α of uterine tissues in the pitocin-induced dysmenorrhea rat model. Effects on TNF-α and IL-2 were observed in PID rat model induced by mixed bacteria plus mechanical damages. Effects on the weight and index of uterus, levels of E2 and P in serum were detected on the uterine myoma rat model induced by estrogen-burden. The results showed that the GZFLC efficacy was decreased with gradient knockout of 15 main components. When 10%-40% was knocked out, there was still significant difference compared to the model group (P < 0.01). However, when 50%-90% was knocked out, there was no significant difference compared to the model group (P > 0.05). Meanwhile, the GZFLC efficacy was decreased significantly compared to the GZFLC group (P <0.05, orP < 0.01). It was concluded that 15 chemical compounds, which included gallic acid, paeoniflorin, paeonol, and etc., may be the main material basis of GZFLC. Meanwhile, it provided a useful reference for the quality control of main components in GZFLC.

Objective To analyze the drug resistant characteristics of 84 clinical isolated Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains, and to observe the inhibitory effects of anti-Hp Lactobacillus acidophilus (La)4 and La6 on different antibiotic-resistant Hp strains. Methods Hp strains were isolated and cultured from gastric mucosa of 84 different gastropathy patients (20 patients with chronic gastritis, 24 with gastric ulcer, 19 with duodenal ulcer and 16 with gastric cancer). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin were tested by E-test in order to determine the resistance of these three antibiotics in clinical isolated Hp strains. With standard La as control, the supernatant of anti-Hp La4 and La6 was added into Hp strains culture wells. Hp strains were cultured in solid media for 72 hours, and then inhibition ring were recorded. Anti-Hp Lactobacillus acidophilus liquid was also added to culture medium of different Hp strains, which were in liquid culture, culture medium were taken at different time points (4,8,12,24,48 hrs) to calculate bacteria colony number and test urease activity. Results In 84 clinical isolated Hp strains, the resistant rates of metronidazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin resistance rates were 67.9%, 17.9% and 1.2% respectively. Of those 11 strains were mixed drug resistance, which included 10 strains of metronidazole and clarithromycin mixed drug resistance, and one of metronidazole and amoxicillin mixed drug resistance. In solid culture conditions, supernatant of anti-Hp Lactobacillus acidophilus La4 and La6 had obvious inhibitory effect on antibiotic-resistant and non-resistant Hp strains. In liquid culture conditions, anti-Hp Lactobacillu acidophilus La4 and La6 bacterium liquid could inhibit the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant and non-resistant Hp strains, the antagonistic role was significantly stronger than the standard Lactobacillus acidophilus strains (P<0.05). The urease activity of antibiotic-resistant Hp strains was inhibited since mixed cultured with anti-Hp Lactobacillu acidophilus La4 and La6 for 4 hours, the urease activity gradually decreased as culture time extended, and the inhibitory role was significantly stronger than the standard Lactobacillus acidophilus strains (P<0.05). Conclusions In 84 Hp strains, most were metronidazole resistant strains, followed by clarithromycin resistant strains, metronidazole and clarithromycin mixed resistance strains. In vitro, anti-Hp Lactobacillu acidophilus La4 and La6 had obvious inhibitory effects on antibiotic-resistant and non-resistant Hp strains.

Objective To explore the establishment of a rat model of acute radiation-induced liver injury and sig-nificance of the dynamic changes of TGF-β1 expression.Methods Forty healthy 6-week old male SD rats were randomly divided into model group (n=30) and control group (n=10).The right liver of rats in the model group was given a single dose of 25 Gy 6 MV X-ray irradiation.Histopathological examination using HE staining and transmission electron microsco-py were conducted to observe the liver pathological changes in rats at 3, 5, and 10 days after irradiation, serum TGF-β1 was detected, and relevant indicators of liver function ( ALT, AST, ALP) were determined.Statistical analysis was per-formed using SPSS 17.0 software.Results At 3, 5 and 10 days after irradiation, early pathological changes in the liver cells were observed by electron microscopy, the expression of TGF-β1 was gradually increased with the time prolongation, and significant differences were found between the model group and the control group at different time points (P<0.05). The light microscopic observation of liver tissues did not show significant differences between the control group and model group.The liver ALT, AST, ALP at different time points did not show significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05).Conclusion Electron microscopy can be used to evaluate the early changes of radiation-induced liver injury, pri-or to the alterations visible by routine light microscopy.TGF-β1 can be used to predict the degree of radiation-induced liver injury, and may be used as a sensitive serum cytokine in predicting the degree of radiation-induced acute liver injury.

Zuotai (gTso thal) is a typical representative of Tibetan medicines containing heavy metals, but there is still lack of modem safety evaluation data so far. In this study, acute toxicity test, sub-acute toxicity test, one-time administration mercury distribution experiment, long-term mercury accumulative toxicity experiment and preliminary study on clinical safety of Compound Dangzuo were conducted in the hope of obtain the medicinal safety data of Zuotai. In the acute toxicity test, half of KM mice given the lethal dose of Zuotai were not died or poisoned, and LD50 was not found. The maximum tolerated dose of Zuotai was 80 g x kg(-1). In the subacute toxicity test, Zuotai could reduce ALT, AST, Crea levels in serums under low dose (13.34 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) and medium dose (53.36 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)), with significant difference under low dose, and increase the levels of ALT, AST, MDA, Crea in serums under high dose (2 000 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)); besides, the levels of BUN and GSH in serums reduced with the increase in dose of Zuotai, indicating a significant dose-effect relationship. In the one-time administration distribution experiment, the content of mercury in rat kidney, liver and lung increased after the one-time administration with Zuotai, with a significant dose-dependent relationship in kidney. In the long-term mercury accumulative toxicity experiment, KM mice were administered with equivalent doses of Zuotai for 4.5 months and then stopped drug administration for 1.5 months. Since the 2.5th month, they showed significant mercury accumulation in kidney, which gradually reduced after drug withdrawal, without significant change in mercury content in liver, spleen and brain and ALT, AST, TBIL, BUN and Crea in serum. At the 4.5th month after drug administration, KM mice showed slight structural changes in kidney, liver and spleen tissues, and gradually recovered to normal after drug withdrawal. Besides, no significant difference in weight gain was found between the Zuotai group and the control group. According to the findings of the clinical safety study of Dangzuo, after subjects administered Dangzuo under clinical dose for one month, their serum biochemical indicators, blood routine indicators and urine routine indicators showed no significant adverse change. This study proved that traditional Tibetan medicine Zuotai was slightly toxic, with a better safety in clinical combined administration and no adverse effects on bodies under the clinical dose and clinical medication cycle. However, long-term high-dose administration of Zuotai may have a certain effect on kidney.

This study was aimed to establish a simple, sensitive detection method for multiple NPM1 mutations, so as to reduce the omission ratio of NMP1 mutant detection. Recombinant plasmids containing wide-type NPM1 and the most common mutations (A, B, C, D) were constructed as the detection objects. The ARMS-PCR for detecting multiple NPM1 mutations was established through designing a pair of specific primers whose 3' end base matched with four mutants (A,B,C,D), but did not matched with wild type NPM1 according to the different base sequence of NPM1 mutants. The feasibility of the ARMS-PCR method was evaluated by assessing the detection range and the sensitivity and comparing with direct sequencing. The results showed that the recombinant plasmids were constructed successfully by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing. The four mutants but not wild type NPM1 were detected by using ARMS-PCR, the detection range of the method was 10(3) copies/ml -10(9) copies/ml and the sensitivity was 0.01%, while the direct sequencing method could not detect the mutations if mutation was less than 10%. It is concluded that the high sensitive ARMS-PCR is established for detecting the four mutations of NPM1 and more than 95% mutants can be detected by this method, providing a new detection method for clinical NPM1 gene mutant.
