Objective To observe the changes of systolic time interval after neonatal asphyxia and explore its relationship with clinical manifestation and prognosis. Methods Tow-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography were employed to detect tow - dimension parameters and left and right ventricular STI in 27 mild and 18 severe asphyxiated neonates as well as 14 normal controls and its relationship with clinical manifestation and prognosis was analyzed. Results There was no difference in cavity and thickness of heart and great arteries between normal and asphyxiated neonates. In acute stage mild and severe asphyxiated neonates had a shorter right ventricular ejection time (RVET) than normal neonates and a longer right ventricular prejection period (RPEP) was found in severe neonates than that in normal and mild asphyxiated neonates. Left ventricular preejection time (LPEP) was prolonged in comparison with normal neonates in acute stage and convalescence. There were more cases with increased RPEP/RVET in severe asphyxiaed group than those in mild and normal group in acute stage. The incidence of heart failure in acute stage and disability in late period was higher in cases with increased RPEP/RVET than that with normal RPEP/RVET. Conclusion Asphyxia has more severe damage to right ventricle than that to left ventricle. Cases with increased RPEP/RVET are prone to suffering from heart failure in acute stage and more likely to undergo disability in late period.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors (GST) by analyzing EUS features of tumors with different invasive capacities.Methods Clinical data of 34 patients with GST were analyzed retrospectively.The tumors were classified according to Fletcher′s GIST biological behavior ranking system and the corresponding EUS features were analyzed.Results The mean maximal diameter of GST in this cohort was 6.7cm.The echo heterogeneity, big tumors size, irregular shape and ulceration were more common in tumors of high risk (P<0.05).Conclusion Tumor size, shape, echo quality and ulceration detected by EUS are useful features for pretreatment evaluation of GST, and can guide the choice of following managements.

Two patients with coexistence of thyroid disease and suspected Gitelman's syndrome underwent SLC12A3 gene analysis. The results confirmed that both patients were compound heterozygotes of SLC12A3 gene mutation. Three novel variants of SLC12A3 were found in this study. This report suggests that Gitelman's syndrome may coexist with other disorders associated with hypokalemia, such as Graves' disease.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine on internal and external treatment of acne.Methods 128 patients in Dermatology Department of Xiyuan Hospital CACMS from May 2012 to March 2013 were collected and randomly divided into Chinese medicine group and western medicine group.The patients of Chinese medicine group were divided into invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome and damp-heat oflmg and stomach syndrome,respectively taking acne liquid 1 or 2 orally and using the herb mask once a week.The western medicine group took Roxithromycin Capsules orally and smeared 0.3％ Viaminate and Vitamin E Cream.The treatment period lasted for 6 weeks,and collected the photograph of the target lesion before and after research every 2 week and evaluated the efficacy.Result The total efficacy rate were 90.77％ (59/65) and 74.60％ (47/63) for Chinese medicine group and western medicine group respectively,with significant difference between them(x2=11.83,P＜0.05).The efficacy rates were 87.50％ and 93.94％ for invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome and damp-heat of lung and stomach syndrome respectively,with no significant difference between them(x2=0.416,P＞0.05).The TCM symptom scores after treatment [Chinese medicine group (4.36 ± 2.45),western medicine group (8.62± 2.49)] had significant difference in two groups respectively compared with before treatment[Chinese medicine group(15.33±6.08),western medicine group(14.34±5.29),P＜0.05].The difference of TCM symptom scores after treatment between the two groups also had a significant difference (P＜0.05).The TCM symptom scores after treatment of invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome group and damp-heat of lung and stomach syndrome group were (4.50±3.01) and (4.24±1.83),which had a significant difference compared with before treatment respectively[(15.37±7.03)and(15.29±5.13),P＜0.05].Conclusion The TCM internal and external treatment on acne could reduce the number of lesions and improve TCM symptom scores.The effect of treating invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome and damp-heat of lung and stomach syndrome with TCM was almost equal.

Objective To compare everolimus (EVR) with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) minimization or withdrawal on renal function of liver transplant patients with standard CNI therapy.Methods A search was conducted on databases which included the PubMed,Embase and Cochrane library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing EVR with CNI with minimization or withdrawal (the EVR group) with standard CNI therapy (the standard CNIs group) on renal function of liver transplant patients.A metaanalysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results Five RCTs which included 1 264 patients were selected into this study.There were 790 patients in the EVR group and 474 patients in the standard CNIs group.On meta-analysis,the EVR group had significantly better renal function (SMD =0.36,95％ CI 0.09 ～ 0.64,P ＜ 0.05),but higher rates of infection (RR =1.37,95％ CI 1.08 ～ 1.74,P ＜ 0.05),dyslipidemia (RR =2.46,95％ CI 1.79 ～ 3.38) and leukopenia (RR =2.37,95％ CI 1.32 ～ 4.26).No significant differences were found on the mortality and the acute rejection rates between the two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EVR with CNI minimization or withdrawal after liver transplantation provided effective immunosuppression and improved patients' renal function.The treatment increased the rates of infection,dyslipidemia and leukopenia.

Objective To investigate the effect of berberine on the polarization of mice RAW264.7 macrophages induced separately by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). Methods Mice RAW 264.7 macrophages cultured in vitro were divided into model group, medication group, and blank control group. Both model group and medication group were given either LPS (in final dose of 100 ng/mL) or IL-4 (in final dose of 10 ng/mL). Additionally, the medication group was treated with berberine in final dose of 20 μmol/L. The blank control group was given the same volume of phosphate buffered saline ( PBS). Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of arginase-1 (Arg-1), inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) , suppressor of cytokine signaling2 ( SOCS2) and SOCS3. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the contents of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and IL-10. Results The content of TNF-αand the mRNA expression levels of iNOS and SOCS3 in macrophages induced by LPS were increased, and then were down-regulated by berberine (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . The content of IL-10 and the mRNA expression level of Arg-1 in macrophages induced by IL-4 were increased, and then were down-regulated by berberine ( P<0.05), but berberine had no effect on the mRNA expression level of SOCS2 ( P>0.05). Conclusion Berberine has an effect on inhibiting the M1 and M2 polarization of macrophages in vitro, suggesting that berberine may play a regulatory role in the dynamic balance of M1/M2.

Objective To observe the anti-inflammatory effects of three kinds of aconine from Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata ( Fuzi) on macrophages, as well as the effects of their combination with sinomenine. Methods The effect of three monoester alkaloids from Fuzi, benzoylaconine ( BAC) , benzoylmesaconine ( BMA) and benzoylhypaconine ( BHA) , on RAW264.7 cells proliferation was detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) in vitro. RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were stimulated by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and then treated with different concentrations of BAC, BMA, and BHA. Tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) secreted by RAW264.7 cells were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The anti-inflammatory effects of three monoester alkaloids combined with sinomenine were evaluated by Zhengjun Jin Q method. Results The concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 secreted by LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells were increased significantly ( P<0.01) , and then were inhibited by BAC ( 20, 30 μmol/L) , BMA ( 40, 80, 160μmol/L) and BHA ( 40, 80, 160 μmol/L) significantly ( P<0.01) . Antagonistic effects were present when 30 μmol/L of BAC or 160 μmol/L of BMA or 160 μmol/L of BHA was respectively used together with 100 or 300 μmol/L of sinomenine (Q<0.85). Conclusion The three kinds of monoester alkaloids from Fuzi exert anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages, and the effective dose of BAC is lower than that of BMA and BHA. The combination of BAC, BMA or BHA at the analyzed dosage with sinomenine has antagonistic effect.

Objective:To investigate sinomenine (Sinomenine,SIN) effect on RAW264.7 cells polarization to M1 or M2 phenotype induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin-4 (IL-4) .Methods:RAW264.7 cells were induced to polarize to M1 by LPS ,and to M2 by IL-4.Sinomenine effects on LPS or IL-4 induced macrophages:TNF-αand IL-10 secretion induced by different condition were detected by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA);The expression level of mRNA of Arginase1(Arg-1),Nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),suppressor of cytokine signaling protein-2(SOCS2) and suppressor of cytokine signaling protein-3(SOCS3) of M1/M2 phenotypes were detected by real time PCR respectively.Results:Sinomenine inhibited the increase of TNF-αsecretion,iNOS and SOCS3 mRNA expression level induced by LPS.Sinomenine inhibited the increase of IL-10 secretion and Arg-1 mRNA expression level induced by IL-4,but SOCS2 mRNA expression level was not affected by Sinomenine.Conclusion: Sinomenine can inhibite the macrophage polarization to M1 and M2 induced by LPS and IL-4.Sinomenine plays a regulatory role on imbalance of M1/M2,and is conducive to maintain the dynamic balance.
