Objective To explore the effect of c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)on the expression of interleukin-10(IL-10) in keratinocytes induced by ultraviolet A(UVA).Methods The HaCaT cells in cultured were either sham irradiated(control) or exposured to 2.4 J/cm2 UVA radiation.The cells were collected at 0-48 h after irradiation,and JNK levels in cells were detected with the immunofluorescence.HaCaT cells were treated with SP600125(a JNK inhibitor) before irradiation,then cells and suspended medium were collected at each time-point after irradiation,and the expression of IL-10 mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and ELISA.Results Compared with control cells,irradiated cells had increased levels of phospho-JNK throughout the entire 48 h following irradiation(P

Objective To explore the effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rh-GH) on immune function in children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after radical operation. Methods Thirty children with TOF were divided into two groups: conventional (n=20) and rh-GH (n=10, 0.2U/kg rhGH, sc., three times per week for 4 weeks). The immunoglobulin, complement fraction, lymphocyte subsets, and interleukins were determined. Results After treatment, the abnormal elevation of IgG, IgM, C_3, C_4, CD8~+ and CD19~+ in rhGH group decreased significantly at 1 week to 3 weeks; moreover, the abnormal descend of IgA, CD3~+, CD4~+, CD4~+/CD8~+, CD3~+/HLA-DR~+, and CD3~+/CD~ (16+56) in rh-GH group increased significantly at 1 week to 2 weeks compared to those of conventional group; and all recovered to the levels of control at 4 weeks. The interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-? levels in the plasma and supernatant of peripheral blood mononuclearcytes decreased gradually at 1 week to 2 weeks after treatment compared to those of conventional group, and also recovered to the levels of control at 4 weeks. Conclusion rh-GH therapy could significantly improve immune function of children with TOF after radical operation.

Objective:To discuss the significance of standardized treatment for cancer pain, according to the Cancer Pain Treat-ment Specification (2011 Edition) issued by the Ministry of Health, PR China. Methods:Clinical data of 126 patients with cancer pain, who were admitted to the Department of Medical Oncology, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, were collected to com-pare the improvement of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score, number of breakthrough pain, and quality of life score after treatment. The relationships between different pain grades, disease entities, and treatment effect were analyzed. The influence factors of pain relief were also analyzed by using Logistic regression analysis. Results:1). Following standardized treatment, the improvement rate of NRS score has shown significant differences in pain grading (P=0.001) and gender (P=0.000). However, no significant differences were ob-served between different diseases (P=0.112). The improvement rate of the life quality score and the number of breakthrough pain had no significant difference after standardized treatment. 2). The grading of cancer pain and the disease entities had little effect on cancer pain relief. 3). The anti-tumor treatment and“no distant metastasis”were the independent factors that brought about the decrease in NRS and quality of life scores.“No distant metastasis”(P=0.046) was the independent factor that reduced the number of pain out-breaks. Conclusion: The standardized treatment positively affects the NRS score, number of breakthrough pain, and quality of life score. Patients who received anti-neoplastic therapy and who had no distant metastasis showed significant treatment effectiveness in pain management.

Objective To evaluate the significance of detecting plasma methylated Septin9 (SEPT9) alone and combined with fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in screening colorectal cancer (CRC) and adenoma.Methods From October 2014 to April 2015,outpatients received CRC and adenoma screening were enrolled.Colonscopy examination and pathological diagnosis were taken as gold standard.The sensitivity and specificity of plasma methylated SEPT9 and FIT in CRC and adenoma were calculated.The diagnostic value of combined examination was evaluated.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of SEPT9 in CRC diagnosis was drawn.Results A total of 300 outpatients were enrolled.Among them,CRC was detected in 45 patients (15.0%) and adenoma was detected in 68(22.7%) patients,including 37(12.3%) cases of advanced adenomas.The sensitivity of SEPT9 and FIT for CRC diagnosis was 80.0% and 88.9%,and the specificity was 95.3 % and 54.1%,respectively.The area under concentration curve (AUC) of methylated SEPT9 in CRC diagnosis was 0.923.The sensitivity of SEPT9 and FIT in advanced adenoma diagnosis were 10.8% and 62.2%,and the specificity were 83.3% and 49.0%,respectively.The sensitivity of combined examination in CRC diagnosis was 97.8% and the specificity was 52.9%;the sensitivity in advanced adenoma diagnosis was 67.6% and the specificity was 47.4%.Conclusions Plasma methylated SEPT9 is helpful in CRC screening,moreover,when combined with FIT,it can increase detection rate of colorectal adenoma.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatible stability of Calcium folinate for injection mixed with Glucose injection and Sodium chloride injection. METHODS:Referring to clinical common concentration,each 3 Calcium folinate for injection (each injection was equal to calcium folinate 100 mg)were respectively mixed with Glucose injection 250 mL or Sodium chloride injection 250 mL. At room temperature,under light or dark condition,the appearance of mixtures,pH value and the number of in-soluble particles were investigated 0,1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,36,48 h. The contents of calcium folinate in mixtures were deter-mined by HPLC. RESULTS:Under above condition,the color of the mixtures had no change,and no gas,precipitation and turbid-ity was found;there was no evident change in pH values(RSD<2%,n=11). 0 h after mixing,there was large number of parti-cles≥10 μm in mixtures,but the number of particle was decreased as time;within 48 h,the number of particles ≥10 μm and ≥25 μm in mixtures were all in line with the standard of Chinese Pharmacopeia(2015 edition). Under the protection from light con-dition,relative contents of calcium folinate in mixtures had no significant change(RSD<2%,n=11). Under light condition,rela-tive contents of calcium folinate in mixtures decreased significantly,decreasing to 94.5%(mixed with Glucose injection) and 88.4%(mixed with Sodium chloride injection). CONCLUSIONS:Calcium folinate for injection is more stable in Glucose injec-tion,and the stability of compatibility can be affected by light conditions. After mixed with Glucose injection and Sodium chloride injection,Calcium folinate for injection should be kept away from light and used as soon as possible

AIM To study if cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) alter cardiovascular functions by its direct inhibitory effect on carotid sinus baroreceptor (CSB) activity. METHODS The functional curve of carotid baroreceptor (FCCB) was constructed and the functional parameters of carotid baroreceptor were measured by recording sinus nerve afferent discharge in anesthetized male rats with perfused isolated carotid sinus. RESULTS ① CCK-8 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 μmol·L-1 shifted FCCB to the right and downward, with a marked decrease in peak slope and peak integral value of carotid sinus nerve discharge in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating the inhibitory effect of CCK-8 on CSB activity. ② Pretreatment with proglumide (100 μmol·L-1), a nonselective CCK receptor antagonist, or Bay K8644 (0.5 μmol·L-1), an agonist of calcium channel, partially attenuated the inhibitory effect of CCK-8 (0.5 μmol·L-1) on CSB activity. Pretreatment with L-NAME (100 μmol·L-1), an inhibitor of NO synthase, did not affect the inhibitory action of CCK-8. CONCLUSION CCK-8 inhibits CSB activity, which may be mediated by activating CCK receptors in the carotid sinus area and thereby resulting in an inhibition of stretch-sensitive channels and decrease in Ca2+ influx.
