Objective To summarize the clinical data of 45 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP) and the experiences of treatment and diagnosis of FAP. Methods Retrospectively analyzed of the clinical data was made on 45 FAP patients.The choice of operative procedure included total colectomy+ileostomy in 25 cases,subtotal colectomy+rectal polyposis electrocautery in 15,and total colectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis in 5. Results Average age of patients at first diagnosis was 33.5 years. A family history was found in 35 patients. Bleeding, diarrhea, pain are common clinical presentations, and the numbers of polyposis were all more than 100. All patients without malignant change survived for 3-21years;and metastasis of liver was the main cause of death in patients with malignant change. There were age differences between malignant and non malignant group. Conclusions FAP lacks typical clinical presentation, and misdiagnosis is not uncommon. Surgical therapy should be done on an individual basis and according to the actual condition of patients.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression and significance of B cell lymphoma (Bcl) 6 in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) induced osteoclast differentiation and activation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods RA-FLS were co-cultured with peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) from healthy volunteers in the medium containing M-CSF.Bcl6 protein and mRNA in osteoclasts and their precursors were determined by immunofluorescence and Real-time PCR at day 0,7,14 and 21,respectively.Osteoclasts were identified by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining.Bone resorption activity of osteoclasts was determined by bone slices stained with toluidine blue.Kruskal-Wallis H and Bonferroni were used for statistical analysis.Results ① Immunofluorescence staining and TRAP staining showed that Bcl6 protein was mainly expressed in the nuclei of PBMCs.After co-cultured with RA-FLS for 7 days,some PBMCs differentiated into macrophages and a few differentiated to TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts,and the total Bcl6 protein expression in osteoclasts and their precursors were increased.At day 14,the total Bcl6 protein expression was increased further.At day 21,the Bcl6 protein expression in nuclei of osteoclasts was decreased while PBMCs were differentiated into osteoclasts,and total Bcl6 protein expression was decreased.②Real-time PCR showed that Bcl6 mRNA expression in osteoclasts and their precursors at day 7 tended to increase than that at day 0 (x2=3.429,P>0.05).At day 14 after co-cultured with RA-FLS,Bcl6 mRNA expression in osteoclasts and their precursors was significantly higher than that at day 0 (x2=5.333,P=0.045).At day 21,the expression of Bcl6 mRNA was significantly lower than that at day 14 (x2=6.023,P=0.038).Conclusion Bcl6 may be involved in osteoclast differentiation and activation,and may play a role in the inflammatory status in the process of differentiation from PBMCs to macrophages.Further studies are needed to establish the mechanisms.

Objective To explore the feasibility of team-based learning (TBL) for practice teaching of internal medicine.Methods TBL was carried out in 40 interns from clinical medical students of eight-year program.Every team included 4 ~ 5 members.The course of rheumatoid arthritis was chosen according to the course syllabus.Results The students discussed enthusiastically in the team test and in-class application exercises.More than 80% of the students expressed that TBL was helpful to understand the course content better,to learn the disease better,to elevate personal study ability and to know others' thought processes.76% of the students supported to carrry out TBL again.Conclusions TBL is helpful for senior medical students to elevate their ability of applying course concepts to solve practical problems through a series of team activities.Improvement of teaching idea and skill is the key to perform TBL successfully.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of rosiglitazone (RSG), a high-affinity synthetic agonist for PPAR-γ, on the expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG)in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocyte (RA-FLS) and the underlying mechanisms. MethodsRAFLS were incubated with different concentrations of RSG(0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 μmol/L) for 3 days, RAFLS proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and then the expression of RANKL and OPG was examined by real-time PCR and Western blot. The expression of phosphorylated ERK, p38 and JNK was also detected after RA-FLS was incubated with RSG(0, 15, and 20 μmol/L) for 3 days. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni were used for statistical analysis. ResultsRSG (5, 10, 15, and 20 μmol/L) had significantly inhibited the expression of RANKL mRNA(0.503±0.005, 0.438±0.031, 0.161±0.042, 0.050±0.018) and protein (1.72±0.09, 1.58x±0.05, 1.46±0.11, 1.22x±0.14) in RA-FLS (F=200.820, F=13.602, P<0.01 ), while the expression of OPG mRNA (2.8 ±0.5, 7.0 ±3.2, 8.4 ±2.3, 25.7 ±5.1 ) and protein ( 1.21 ±0.11, 1.52 ±0.16, 1.63±0.11, 1.91 ±0.03) increased significantly (F=26.531, F=24.872, P<0.01), both in a dose dependent manner. The ratio of RANKL/OPG mRNA and protein significantly reduced (F=453.425, P<0.01 ;F=4.173, P<0.05 ). RSG (15, 20 μ mol/L) significantly inhibited the expression of p-ERK-1/2 protein (0.55±0.06, 0.45±0.06, F=6.991, P<0.05). ConclusionRSG can inhibit RANKL expression in RA-FLS through p-ERK pathway.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) with low tidal volume on developmental porcine lungs by examining the expression of growth factors and inflammatory mediators.
METHODSTwelve preterm piglets born at 99 days of gestational age, 12 term neonatal piglets and 11 young piglets (4-5-weeks old) were randomly placed on CMV or were not ventilated (control group). The ventilator settings were adjusted to provide a tidal volume of 6-8 mL/kg in order to maintain a normal blood-gas value. After 6 hrs (preterm piglets) or 24 hrs (neonatal and young piglets) of mechanical ventilation, the mRNA expression of growth factors PDGF-B, IGF-I, KGF, HGF, VEGF and TGF-beta1 and proinflammatory cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha in the lung tissue was measured using RT-PCR. Growth factor protein expression was measured with immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSIn preterm piglets, the CMV group had increased mRNA expression of PDGF-B (5.11+/-0.10 vs 4.88+/-0.01), IL-1beta (4.95+/-0.27 vs 4.08+/-0.37), IL-6 (4.76+/-0.27 vs 4.00+/-0.28) and IL-8 (5.31+/-0.57 vs 4.15+/-0.46), but decreased IGF-I mRNA expression (3.54+/-0.13 vs 3.80+/-0.11) compared with those in the control group (P<0.05 or 0.01). In term neonatal piglets and young piglets, there were no significant differences in the mRNA expression of growth factors and proinflammatory cytokines between the CMV and control groups.
CONCLUSIONSCMV caused inflammatory injury in immature lungs by increasing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and PDGF-B and decreasing IGF-I expression. However, CMV had no effects on pulmonary expression of growth factors and inflammatory mediators in term neonatal piglets and young piglets.

Congestive heart failure is a syndrome that is usually initiated by a reduction in pump function of the heart, i.e. a decrease in cardiac output. Initially, a reduction in cardiac output leads to unloading of baroreceptor reflex that, in turn, increases heart rate through vago-sympathetic mechanisms and total peripheral resistance via an increase in sympathetic outflow to vascular beds. In this review we are thinking on how baroreceptor reflex plays a role in the abnormal control of the circulation in heart failure. This review and our recent studies suggest that: (1) baroreceptor reflex is blunted in heart failure; (2) central angiotensin II and reactive oxygen species play an important role in blunted baroreceptor reflex; (3) cardiac sympathetic afferent stimulation and chemoreceptor reflex inhibit baroreceptor reflex; and (4) exercise training normalizes abnormal reflexes in the heart failure state.
