Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2004;0(08):-
AIM: To investigate the effect of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) on metastasis inhibition of gastric cancer SGC7901cells induced by parthenolide. METHODS: The changes of SGC7901 cells reproductive activity were analyzed by MTT. Light microscope was used to observe the cell morphological changes. The effects of parthenolide on migration and invasion capacity of SGC7901 cells were determined by using matrigel and transwell system. The expression of uPA was detected by Western blot and RT-PCR assays. RESULTS: Parthenolide inhibited the proliferation of SGC7901 cells in a time-and concentration -dependent manner ranging from 100 to 200 ?mol/L. Light microscopy showed the suppressing effect on growth of SGC7901 cells. After exposed to parthenolide, the migration and invasion capacity of SGC7901 cells were significantly decreased, the number of cells gradually decreased through the basement membrance. The Western blot assay showed that the expression of uPA protein declined gradually after exposed to parthenolide for various period of time. CONCLUSION: Parthenolide can inhibit the growth and metastasis activity of SGC7901 cells, and uPA played an important role in the latter process.

Objective To discuss the methods and effects of replantation to treat complex thumb severance. Methods 56 cases of complex thumb severance combined with soft tissue defects were treated with simple vessel transplantation, veno flap transplantation, dorsal index digital island flap transplantation, digital artery transfer, transfer of radial index digital artery pedicled island flap, or veno arteriolization. The soft defects were repaired by the transfer of extensor index finger tendon and superficial ring finger flexor tendon. Results 50 cases survived and 6 cases failed, with the survival rate being 89%. 42 cases were followed up for 5 to 25 months. The function of the treated thumbs was assessed as excellent in 10, good in 25 and bad in 7. The excellent and good rate was 83%. Conclusion Complex thumb severance can be treated by unconventional replantation so as to achieve good effects.
4.Isolated ultrafiltration for treatment of cardiac insufficiency in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2016;25(5):650-653
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of isolated ultrafiltration (IUF) for patients with cardiac insufficiency after acut emyocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The acut emyocardial infarction patients admitted from August 2010 to August 2014 were recruited for study.After primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),102 patients presented cardiac insufficiency taking the form of hypotension and acute left heart failure.All heart failure patients dealt with routine medications at first,and were then randomly (random number) divided into two groups,group A was routine medication group and group B was isolated ultrafiltration after routine medication group.Data recorded at different intervals in the same group were analyzed by ANOVA.Data recorded from two groups at the same intervals were analyzed by t test.Data of mortality in the two groups were analyzed by x2 test.P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results Of them,51 patients were treated with routine medication resulting in gradual improvement of cardiac function,but the improvement was slower compared with the isolated ultrafiltration group.Other 51 patients were treated with isolated ultrafiltration,and isolated ultrafiltration was discontinued in 2 patients owing to progressive thrombocytopenia and in another one patient owing to systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg,with clinical manifestations of organ hypoperfusion,poor peripheral circulation,cool clammy skin and oliguria.In the rest of 48 patients in the isolated ultrafiltration group,vital signs were stable,and heart failure symptoms and serum electrolytes improved significantly (P <0.05).After one week of using isolated ultrafiltration,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) also improved (P < 0.05).The differences in mortality within one month,the mean ICU stay,the mean hospitalized stay,and the rate of recurrent heart failure were significant between the two groups (P < 0.05)Conclusions The isolated ultrafiltration is a relatively safe and effective strategy for patients with cardiac insufficiency and hypotension after acut emyocardial infarction.
5.Hyperuricemia and Ischemic Stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(12):-
Epidemiological studies have suggested that the increase of uric acid level has a direct correlation with the risk of ischemic stroke. However,the significance of this correlation remains controversy. Most findings have suggested that hyperuricemia is a risk factor for stroke and poor outcome after stroke.Very few studies have suggested that hyperuricemia has protective effect on acute ischemic stroke.Although the effect of hyperuricemia on pathophysiological mechanisms of stroke remains uncertain, the interventional strategy by lowering the levels of blood uric acid for preventing ischemic stroke is worth to be considered. This article mainly reviews the recent clinical trials data and related mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of repeated debridement on the efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS). METHODS A total of 67 patients underwent ESS were divided into intervention group and control group. Debridement was performed at the 1st, 4th, 8th week after operation for the patients in intervention group, while once per week for the patients in control group. The primary outcome measure was visual analogue scale(VAS)and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score(LKES). RESULTS Comparing the two groups on all domains of digital VAS and LKES at the 4th, 8th week after operation, there were no significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION Benefit of frequent debridement during the early postoperative period was no positive correlation with patients recovering after ESS. Therefore, in terms of subjective recovery and health care costs,appropriate extending postoperative management time and decreasing intervention frequency do not decrease the efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery.
