OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of temozolomide(TMZ)in combination with dexamethasone(DXM)on the proliferation of human gliocytoma U251 cells in vitro.METHODS:Human U251 cells were assigned to 1 of the 3 groups: TMZ(10,25,50,100,200,400?mol?L~(-1),respectively)alone or in combination with 40?mol?L~(-1)DXM(TMZ+DXM group)or control group(none drug).After treatment for 72 hours,the cell morphology,cell inhibition ratio,cell cycle and the apoptotic rate were detected.RESULTS:When TMZ concentration was greater than 100?mol?L~(-1)the cell inhibition ratio was higher in TMZ-treated group than in TMZ+DXM-treated group(P
6.Mechanical ventilation in preterm infant
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2010;17(1):74-77
Mechanical ventilation plays an important role in the treatment of preterm infants,especially respiratory problems.With improvement in both antenatal and neonatal care and therapeutic strategies,premature babies are surviving more than ever.However,the incidence of bronchpulmonary dysplasia remains high which affects the clihical outcomes of premature infants.Non-invasive respiratory support techniques have been used in attempts to decrease lung injury and the complications of preterm infants.This review will focus on various ventilation modalities for managing preterm infants with respiratory failure and lung protective ventilation strategies to minimize lung injury in preterm infants.
7.Association between cholesteryl ester transfer protein-TaqIB polymorphism and coronary heart disease
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2009;32(34):1-5
Objective To determine the frequency of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-TaqIB polymorphism and investigate its relationship with plasma lipid levels and coronary hert disease(CHD). Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight patients with CHD (CHD group) and 203 age-matched controls( control group) were selected, the CETp-TaqIB mutation was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the CETP gene. Results In the total subjects, the frequency of B1 and B2 alleles were 59.4%(262/441 ) and 40.6%( 179/441 ) respectively. Compared with that in control group, the frequency of CETP genotype BIBI was higher in CHD group [39.9%(95/238) vs 29.6% ( 60/203 ), P<0.05], and the frequency of B1B2 was lower in CHD group [44.1%(105/238) vs 53.7%(109/203), P< 0.05]. Compared with that in the B2 homozygotes, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)A I level were significantly lower in the B1 homozygotes [(1.19±0.36) mmol/L vs (1.38±0.39) retool/L,( 1.17±0.33 ) g/L vs ( 1.30±0.31 ) g/L, P<0.05]. The B 1 homozygotes was associated with higher degree of cononary stenosis than the B2 carriers (P<0.05 ). There was no significant association between CETP-TaqIB genotype and the risk of CHD (P=0.147). Conclusions CETP-TaqIB polymorphism affects the concentrations of lipaproteins. There are significant associations between the B1 homozygotes and lowerHDL-C and apo A I levels. The B1 allele is not an independent risk factor for CHD.
8.Risk factors and imaging features of silent brain infarction:a retrospective case-control study
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;(11):834-838
Objective To explore the risk factors and imaging features of silent brain infarction (SBI).Methods The patient with SBI from the clinic were enrolled in the study,and the patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction served as controls.The risk factors and imaging features of both groups were compared.Results Among 145 patients with SBI,133 (91.72%) had two or more lesions,mainly in the centrum semiovale (73.10%).The proportion of patients with white matter lesions in the group of SBI in a single location was significantly lower than that in the group of SBI in multiple locations (41.67% vs.73.68% ;x2 =5.484,P =0.019).Compared to the patients with SBI,the age in patents with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction was older (72.42 ± 11.79 vs.67.03 ± 12.04 years; t =3.545,P =0.000),the proportions of male (63.55% vs.46.21% ;x2 =7.447,P =0.006),hypertension (80.37% vs.64.14% ; x2 =7.887,P =0.005) and atrial fibrillation (31.78% vs.8.97%,x2 =21.113,P =0.000),as well as the levels of fasting glucose (6.09 ±1.23 mmol/Lvs.5.65± 1.18 mmol/L; t=2.863,P=0.005),total cholesterol (5.53± 0.74 mmol/Lvs.5.27 ± 0.90 mmol/L; t =2.554,P =0.011),triglycerides (1.89 ± 0.20 mmol/L vs.1.77 ± 0.18 mmol/L; t =4.910,P=0.000) and homocysteine (1 4.88 ±4.97 mmol/L vs.11.94 ±4.61 mmol/L; t =4.432,P =0.000)were higher.However,the lipoprotein (a) level was lower (0.18 ± 0.06 g/L vs.0.27 ± 0.18 g/L; t =-5.489,P =0.000).Among patients with SBI,33.8% and 43.5% had lesions in two and three locations,respectively;among patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction,66.4% and 27.1% had lesions in a single location and two locations,respectively (P < 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lipoprotein (a)was the independent risk factor for SBI (odds ratio 5.988,95% confidence interval 2.421-14.706; P =0.000).Conclusions Although they shared a variety of common risk factors,patients with SBI had less atherosclerotic risk factors than those with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction.Most patients with SBI had lesions in multiple locations.
9.Risk factors of progressive intracerebral hematoma in severe traumatic brain injury
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;(2):12-14
Objective To investigate the risk factors of progressive intracerebral hematoma (PIH) in severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) and provide reference for diagnosis and treatment of STBI.Methods The clinical information of 96 patients of STBI from March 2008 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed,the risk factors of PIH were analyzed by the univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results Thirty-six patients occurred PIH,the incidence rate of PIH was 37.5% (36/96).The univariate regression analysis showed that the age,admission GCS scores,injury to the first CT time,brain contusion,subarachnoid hemorrhage,epidural hematoma,subdural hematoma had certain relation with PIH (P < 0.01or < 0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the age,brain contusion,subarachnoid hemorrhage,epidural hematoma,subdural hematoma were risk factors of PIH (P <0.05 or <0.01).Conclusion Fully aware of the risk factors of PIH and timely intervention is the key to reduce the morbidity and mortality of STBI.
10.Risk factors of in-stent restenosis of vertebral artery origin
Chinese Journal of Radiology 2013;(1):73-76
Objective To evaluate risk factors of restenosis of vertebral artery origin after stenting.Methods A total of 144 continuous cases were collected for this retrospective analysis.More than 50% of stenosis in the original sites after treatment was defined as restenosis.Patients were divided into restenosis group (39 patients) and none-restenosis group (105 patients).The risk factors associated with restenosis were compared between the two groups by Chi-square test,including sex,age,presence of hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,hyperlipidemia,smoking and drinking,the difference of preoperative neurological symptoms,combination with other vessels,stenosis,as well as stent type and stent size.Logistic regression was used to test the risk factors for restenosis.Results The incidence of restenosis of vertebral artery origin after stenting was 26.4%,and all of them occurred in 5 months.Between the two groups,there was no significant difference of distribution of sex (male 89,female 34,x2 =0.804,P =0.370),age(60 vs 21 patients of more than 60 years old,x2 =2.358,P =0.125),hypertension (67 vs 28 patients,x2 =0.253,P =0.615),diabetes (27 vs 9 patients,x2 =0.914,P =0.91),hyperlipidemia (6 vs 5 patients,x2 =0.478,P =0.489),coronary heart disease(32 vs 6 patients,x2 =2.489,P =0.115),smoking (50 vs 24 patients,x2 =0.129,P =0.719),drinking(20 vs 13 patients,x2 =0.001,P =0.978),diameter of stents (53 vs 18 patients of more than 4 mm,x2 =0.213,P =0.645),length of stents (45 vs 19 patients of more than 15 mm,x2 =0.927,P =0.336),preoperative neurological symptoms (93 vs 29 patients,x2 =0.250,P =0.617).There was significant difference of factors including combination with the bilateral stenosis (43 vs 24 patients,x2 =4.844,P =0.028),combination with the internal carotid artery stenosis(49 vs 26 patients,x2 =4.558,P =0.033) and stent types(59 vs 11 patients of drug eluting stent,x2 =8.916,P =0.003) between the two groups.Bare stents and combination with internal carotid artery stenosis were independent risk factors for restenosis by logistic regression.Conclusions The incidence of restenosis with vertebral artery origin occurs in 5 months after surgery.Bare stents and combination with internal carotid artery stenosis increased the incidence of restenosis,and preoperative neurological symptoms of vertebrobasilar system and presence of the bilateral stenosis may induce restenosis.
