Background Some researching results of sodium hyaluronate eye drops treating dry eye have been reported home and abroad.To evaluate these results using the method of evidence-based medicine (EBM) has an important clinical significance.Objective This secondary study was to systematically evaluate the efficacy of sodium hyaluronate eye drops for the treatment of dry eye.Methods Meta analysis was adopted in this study.The electronic bibliographic databases were searched according to the prescribed strategy,including Medline,PubMed,VIP,CBM,CNKI,Wanfang Data using the method of Cochrane systematic review.The literature published time was limited from the commencement of each database to December,2011.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of sodium hyaluronate eye drops treating dry eye were included and the methodological quality of the RCTs was assessed by two evaluators using Jadad measuring scale,and homogeneous evaluation by Meta-analysis was performed.Statistical analysis of clinical data was performed using RevMan 5.0 software provided by the Cochrane Collaboration.With odds ratio (OR) value as the effect index,the randomized effect model was used to analyze the clinical heterogeneity.Results A total of 4 RCTs involving 686 patients were included.Jadad scale evaluation showed 7 points in 2 literature,4 points in 1 literature and 2 points in 1 literature.In all the RCTs,344 patients with dry eye were treated using sodium hyaluronate as the sodium hyaluronate eye drops group,and 342 dry eyes applied placebo,normal saline solution,hydroxymethyl cellulose,hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose respectively as the control group.Meta-analysis indicated that the total effective rate (OR) was 2.55 with the 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.94-6.93.The symptoms were improved in 183 cases in the experiment group and 130 cases in the control group.No significant difference was found in the OR between the sodium hyaluronate eye drops group and the control group (Z =1.84,P=0.07).Conclusions Meta-analysis indicates that sodium hyaluronate eye drops can improve the symptom of dry eye,but have no significence with the control group.However,owing to fewer number and uneven quality of included RCTs,the large sample size and multicenter of RCTs is still needed to verify the superiority of sodium hyaluronate eye drops for dry eye.

Objective To investigate the effect of ghrelin on PAI-1 secretion in HepG2 cells induced by TNF-αand the effect of p-38 MAPK.Methods HepG2 cells were cultured.The concentration of TNF-α used to treat the HepG2 cells wag selected.The effect of ghrelin on PAI-1 secretion induced by TNF-α was detected by ELISA,the p-38 MAPK expression was investigated by Western blot.Results The concentration of PAI-1 was increased when cells were exposed to different concentration of TNF-α.The p-p38 MAPK expression was increased when the cells were exposed to TNF-α,ghrelin could inhibit the increase of PAI-1 secretioN induced by TNF-α.The expression of p-p38 MAPK was decreased when the cells were pretreated with ghrelin.Conclusion PAI-1 secretion were increased after TNF-α in-creasing.Ghrelin could inhibit PAI-1 secretion via p38 MAPK.

Objective To explore whether CCL18 is involved in regulating the expression of miRNAs in breast cancer.Methods The expression profile of miRNAs in the breast cancer cell following CCL18 treatment was determined by miRNAs microarray analysis.Then we performed QRT-PCR and Luciferase Reporter Assay to validate the results from the miRNAs microassay.We used transient transfection to change the expression of miR98 and c-myc in breast cancer cells.We then used QRT-PCR and Western blot to analyze the mechanism by which CCL18 downregulates the expression of miR98 in breast cancer cells.Results miRNAs microarray analysis showed that cells treated with CCL18 differentially expressed 20 miRNAs genes compared with those in the control group. Our QRT-PCR and Luciferase Reporter Assay confirmed the result.The mRNA and protein expressions of C-myc and lin28 were increased after CCL18 stimulation in breast cancer cells.Transfection with c-myc siRNAs rescued the increase of lin28 and loss of miR98 expression caused by CCL18 stimulation.Our results also showed that CCL18 could upregulate the expression of N-Ras at post-transcription level.Conclusion CCL18 downregulates the expression of miR98 via N-Ras/c-myc/lin28 pathway.The downregulated miR98 increases the expression of N-Ras after transfection,which further activates c-myc/lin28 pathway and forms a positive feedback loop.

ObjectiveTo investigation the clinical features and immunophenotypes of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).MethodsThe clinical data of 23 patients of MCL were reviewed prospectively.Age,sex,Ann-Arbor staging,symptoms and bone marrow biopsies were analyzed.Serum lactat dehydrogenates (LDH) level,CD5,CD20 and CyclinD1 were determined.ResultsThe median age was 62 years old (range 44-74),15 patients(65.2%)were more than 60 years old.Among 23 patients,the male-to-female ratio was 4.4∶1,Twenty-one patients (91%) presented with advanced stage (Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ 12 cases and Ⅳ 9 cases) at initial diagnosis.Twenty patients (87.0 %) were lymph node involvement.The serum LDH level was high in 11 patients.CD5 was positively expressed in 14 (60.8 %) of all patients.CD20 was positively expressed in 21 (91.3 %) of all patients.Cyclin D1 was over-expression in 19 (82.6 %) of all patients.ConclusionThe MCL shows a predilection for occurrence in older males.The majority of patients are advanced stage disease (Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ ) are at initial diagnosis. Most of patients display lymph node involvement manifestations.Bone marrow infiltration is frequent.The immunophenotype of MCL resembles the mature B-lymphocyte (CD+20),with coexprssion of the T-cell antigen CD5.It has been demonstrated that CyclinD1 are over express in this histotype of MCL.CyclinDl over-expression could be considered as hallmark of MCL.

We designed and synthesized eighteen lycorine derivatives with five different structural types, and evaluated their antiviral activities on a HCoV-OC43-infected H460 cell model. Structure-activity relationships suggested that the introduction of appropriate substituents on the 6N atom of lycorine was beneficial to activity. Compound

Objective To study the clinical value of using a four-point method (FP) in measuring joint angles.Method Methods Twenty-five subjects without knee dysfunction were studied.Every knee joint was tested in extension,below 90° of flexion and above 90° of flexion with the traditional three-point method (TP) and the new four-point method.X-rays were taken as a gold standard measurement.The reliability and validity were analyzed using Bland-Altman plots,which can yield 95% limits of agreement (LOA).Results (1) The joint axis centers moved with changes in joint angle.(2) The 95% LOA of inter-tester reliability was (-5.0,2.7) with the FP and (-6.5,4.4) with the TP.The 95% LOAs of intra-tester reliability were (-3.6,4.0) for tester A and (-4.1,4.8) for tester B with the FP,while (-5.0,6.4) for tester A and (-6.1,5.8) for tester B with the TP.(3) The 95% LOAs in the three positions were (3.5,2.6) in extension,(-3.3,3.6) in mild flexion and (-1.9,5.7) in greater flexion with the FP,and ( 6.8,1.1),(-4.0,7.1) and (0,8.5) with the TP.Conclusions The FP gives better reliability and validity than the TP in joint angle measurement.
