Objective To explore the influence of the lactation exposure to fluoxetine on offspring's behavior and serotonin transporter (SERT) and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH). Methods Six SD pregnant rats were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=3 each group). Experimental maternal rats were intraperitoneally injected with fluoxetine at a dose of 12 mg/kg from postnatal day 5 to 21. The control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline. In infancy, the offspring's weight, hair length, eye opening and auditory development were measured. The free suspension test and bur?ied food pellets test were applied to evaluate the offspring's behaviors. After postnatal day 21, all the offspring were wean. At early childhood (P35d) and adulthood (P75d), 6 offspring rats from each group were executed to examine SERT and TPH in the prefrontal cortex by immunohistochemistry. Results The offspring's weight of experimental group was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). The sensitivity of auditory in experimental group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.01). The time of free suspension in experimental group significantly was decreased comparing to control group (P<0.01). The SERT and TPH in prefrontal cortex was significantly lower in experimental group than those in control group either at childhood (P35d) or at adulthood (P75d) (P<0.05). Conclusion Lactation exposure to fluoxetine re?sults in offspring's abnormal development and behaviors through down-regulation of SERT and TPH in the prefrontal cor?tex.

Objective To explore the clinical,laboratory,and pathologic manifestations of the interstitial lung disease(ILD)associated with primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome(pSS,pSS-ILD).Methods Clinical data of 15 patients with pSS-ILD admitted to our hospital from 2006 to 2008 were collected and the different features were compared with 18 patients with pSS without ILD.Eight patients with pSS-ILD were followed up and observed the changes of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).Results The age at onset was later in pSS-ILD[(57±11)years]than in pSS without ILD[(43±11)years](P<0.01).The initial symptoms in six of patients with pSS-ILD were cough,expectoration,chest distress or dyspnea upon exertion.The respiratory clinical manifestations,circulationsystem involvement and pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) were more common in pSS-ILD than in pSS without ILD(P<0.01).Compared with patients with pSS without ILD,patients with pSS-ILD had significantly higher serum IgG level(P<0.01).The common findings of HRCT included reticular changes,irregular linear hyper-attenuating areas,and nodules.Pleural involvement was found in 8 patients,honeycomb change in 5 patients and PAH in 3 patients.After treated for 6 months of 8 patients,radiological findings improved in 4 patients,stable in 2 patients,and worse in 2 patients.The comlnon histological findings included focal fibrosis in alveolar wall and alveolus with and alveolar space inflammatory cell infiltration,interstitial inflammation with mulifocal lymphocyte infiltration.One patient had the pathological changes of nonspecific interstitial pneumonia(NSIP).Conclusion The age at onset of pSS-ILD is late and tends to produce respiratory symptoms and prone to have circulationsystem involvement such as PAH and elevated serum IgG level.Honeycomb change in HRCT can be seen in one third of patients and most patients can improve after treatment,however.NSIP can be observed in histopathologieal

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of analgesic drugs for advanced cancer,moderate to severe pain. METHODS:The data of narcotic drugs and first type psychotropic drugs were collected from hospital information system of a third grade class A hospital during 2012-2014,and then analyzed in respects of amount,consumption sum and DDDs,etc. RE-SULTS:The amount of narcotic drugs and first type psychotropic drugs kept stable basically,and the consumption sum of them during 2012-2014 was 1 566 289.92 yuan,1 525 220.23 yuan and 1 531 277.44 yuan. The consumption sum of Morphine hydrochlo-ride tablet increased the fastest,increasing by 89.78% in 2013 and 142.81% in 2014,compared with the year before;those of other drugs had negative growth rate. DDDs of Morphine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets were the highest among all the narcotics and first type psychotropic drugs and increased year by year,increasing from 26 848.00 in 2012 to 47 158.00 in 2014. CONCLU-SIONS:The use of narcotic drugs and first type psychotropic drugs conform to the specifications,but they still need strict supervi-sion to promote safe and effective use of them in the clinic.

Objective To investigate the effect of different concentrations of TPh on hepatoma cells , cell viability and and its possible mechanisms of anti-tumor.Methods The inhibitory rate of hepatoma cells and cell viability on different concentrations of TPh and time were measured by MTT assay;The morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by Hoechst 33258 straining; Cell cycle distribution was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM).The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot analysis.Results MTT assay showed that TPh inhibited the proliferation of HepG-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the inhibitory rate increased with the increase of concentration.The inhibitory rate was 50.9% (P<0.01).The results of Hoechst 33258 staining showed that the fluorescence intensity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells was light blue in fluorescence microscopy and bright blue fluorescence in apoptotic hepatocarcinoma cells, and the apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells increased with the increase of drug concentration.The percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase increased with the increase of cell cycle, and the ratio of cells in S phase was decreased in G2/M phase compared with blank control group (P<0.05);Western blot results showed that compared with the blank control group, TPh inhibited the proliferation of Bcl-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner ( P <0.05 ) , and the number of apoptotic cells increased with the increase of drug concentration (P<0.05), and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in the TPh group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the expression of Bax gene increased. Conclusion TPh inhibits cell proliferation, promotes apoptosis and induces HepG-2 to block G0/G1 phase.Its mechanism may increase the expression of Bax and decrease Bcl-2 protein expression.

Objective To learn students' satisfaction with the general education courses, discuss the problems in comprehensive general education courses in local medical colleges , and provide the basis and reference for the medical general education courses reform. Methods Using the stratified random sampling method, self-designed questionnaire to local medical colleges of 575 different professions stu-dents. The questionnaire had the total of 54 topics whose contents were related to the basic situation aware-ness and satisfaction, the demand for general education courses, general education curriculum problems and suggestions. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 software and the results were expressed by the relative number(rate and percentage). The differences between different majors and different grade student satisfaction were analyzed by using rank-sum test, showing statistical significance(P<0.05). Results The total satisfaction was not very high, only 219 students(38%) were satisfied with general curriculum;256 students(45%) thought it didn't matter whether to set general education courses;100 students(17%) were not satisfied. In addition, satisfaction with different grades was undifferentiated (P=0.798), but there was a statistical difference among the students of different professions(P=0.007). Conclusion The general education curriculum of medical schools should not blindly pursue being wide and full. Instead, it should be built from three aspects such as core curriculum, flexible teaching methods, teaching methods reform to enhance teaching effectiveness.

Background and purpose:B7-H3 is a newly identiifed member of the B7-family of co-stimulatory molecule, and however, its exact role in human osteosarcoma is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of B7-H3 in osteosarcoma tissues and to investigate its correlations with clinicopathological factors and overall survival in patients with osteosarcoma.Methods:The expression of B7-H3 and the intensity of tumor-inifltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) in pathologic specimens of osteosarcoma, osteochondroma and bone ifbrous dysplasia tissues were evaluated by immunohistochemical assay.Results:The expression rate of B7-H3 was 91.8% (56/61) in osteosarcoma lesions, while B7-H3 was barely expressed in adjacent normal tissues and bone ifbrous dysplasia tissues. The intensity of B7-H3 expression in osteochondroma was 56.8%, which was signiifcantly decreased compared with osteosarcoma tissues. Tumor B7-H3 expression was associated with Ennecking stage and pulmonary metastasis, while inversely correlated with the number of tumor-inifltrating CD8+ T cells (P<0.05). Moreover, patients with high tumor B7-H3 levels had a signiifcantly shorter survival time and recurrence time than patients with low tumor B7-H3 levels (P<0.05).Conclusion:B7-H3 is overexpressed in human osteosarcoma tissues, and B7-H3 expression is highly correlated with tumor development and overall patients’ prognosis. Moreover, overexpression of B7-H3 in tissues can relfect CD8+T cell inifltration and may help tumor cells avoid immune surveillance.

Objective To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)/Notch signaling pathway in injured podocytes induced by adriamycin (ADR) in vitro.Methods Podocytes cultured in vitro were randomly divided into normal group,model group,ATRA treatment control group,12-hour ATRA intervention group and 24-hour ATRA intervention group.Morphological changes were observed by using light microscope.The expressions of TGF-β1,podocin,Notch 1,Jagged 1 mRNA were evaluated through real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the corresponding proteins were detected by using Western blot.Results (1) No obvious changes between normal group and ATRA treatment control group were revealed as the plump podocytes and distinct outline were found in light microscope,while podocytes in model group showed disordered arrangement,fuzzy boundary,atrophy,hypertrophy and increased cellular debris.Of note,the podocytes in 12-hour ATRA intervention group and 24-hour ATRA intervention group almost returned to normal.(2) In contrast with those in model group,the amounts of TGF-β1,Notchl,Jaggedl mRNA levels decreased in 12-hour ATRA intervention group (1.34 ±0.43 vs.4.16 ±0.31,1.67 ±0.2 vs.4.21 ±0.92,2.08 ±0.27 vs.5.14 ±0.63,q =23.83,11.45,19.67,all P ＜0.05) and 24-hour ATRA intervention group (1.22 ± 0.16 vs.4.16 ± 0.31,1.73 ± 0.53 vs.4.21 ± 0.92,2.08 ± 0.29 vs.5.14 ± 0.63,q =24.85,11.18,19.67,all P ＜ 0.05),and the differences were significant;similar trend was detected in the protein levels (1.04 ± 0.03 vs.4.31 ± 0.10,1.06 ± 0.04 vs.4.47 ± 0.24,1.07 ± 0.04 vs.4.20 ± 0.16,1.06 ±0.03 vs.4.31 ±0.10,1.07 ±0.03 vs.4.47 ±0.24,1.09 ±0.03 vs.4.20 ±0.16,q =163.50,69.61,90.36,162.50,69.40,89.78,all P ＜ 0.05),and the differences were significant;whereas the level of podocin mRNA (1.13 ±0.05 vs.0.40 ± 0.06,1.16 ± 0.03 vs.0.40 ± 0.06,q =36.50,38.00,all P ＜ 0.05) and protein (1.01 ± 0.01 vs.0.44 ±0.01,1.02 ±0.01 vs.0.44 ±0.01,q =180.25,183.41,all P ＜0.05) increased,and the differences were sig nificant.(3) The expressions of Notch1,Jagged1 mRNA were positively correlated with TGF-β1 mRNA (r =0.84,1.00,all P ＜ 0.05),but negatively correlated with podocin mRNA (r =-0.95,-0.94,all P ＜ 0.05) in model group.Conclusions ATRA might alleviate podocyte injury through cutting the expressions of TGF-β1,Notch1,Jagged1 and raising the expression of podocin in injured podocytes induced by ADR.
