Objective To investigate the effect of medical student involvement on the quality of actual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods A digital video-recording system was used to record and analyze CPR procedures for adult patients from March 2011 to September 2012.Results Twenty-six student-involved and 40 non-student-involved cases were studied.The chest compression rate in the studentinvolved group was significantly higher than that in the non-student-involved group (P ＜ 0.01).The proportion of compressions atabove 110 cpm was higher in the student-involved group (P =0.021),whereas the proportion at 90 ～ 110 cpm was lower in the student-involved group (P =0.015).The ratio of hands-off time to total manual compression time was significantly lower in the student-involved group than in the non-student-involved group (P ＜ 0.05).In contrast,the student-involved group delivered a higher ventilation rate compared with the non-student-involved group (P ＜ 0.05).The observed time delay to first compression and first ventilation was very similar between the groups.There were no significant differences between groups in either return of spontaneous circulation or time from survival to discharge.Conclusions Student-involved resuscitation teams were able to perform good CPR,with higher compression rates and fewer interruptions.However,the supervision from medical staff is still needed to ensure appropriate chest compression and ventilation rate in student-involved actual CPR in the emergency department.

Objective To study the effects of Tripterygium Hypoglaucum Hutch(THH) and its extract(THW-4) on neointimal formation of rabbit carotid arteries after balloon angioplasty.Methods After injury of the common carotid arteries was set up by balloon angioplasty,the rabbits were divided into 3 groups and were given different treatment protocol including gastrogarage of THH(n=9),associated gastrogavage of THH with local administration of THW-4 into the injured arteries(n=9) and 0.25% DMSO saline local administration as the control(n=9).Neointimal fomation was evaluated on days after the procedure by proliferating all nuclear antigen(PCNA) and Evans Blue staining,and quantitative histomorphometric analysis was performed on 28 days.Results The PCNA-positive index in the neointima at day 14 after the procedure was reduced in the THH gastrogavage group and the THH/THW-4 group compared with the control(17.68%?5.27%,6.60%?2.52% vs 40.37%?7.12%,P

Objective To explore the relationship of bFGF in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.Methods The expression of bFGF was determined by immunohistochemical method in 130 gastric specimens including 30 cases of chronic superficial gastritis,30 cases of intestinal metaplasia,30 cases of dysplasia and 40 cases of gastric carcinomas.Results In control group with chronic superficial gastritis,precancerous group,and gastric carcinoma group,the expression level of bFGF had a increasing tendency(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The expression of bFGF was up-regulated in the carcinogenesis of gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC -MSCs) on Th17 cells and related cytokines in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Human UC-MSCs were isolated and expanded and infused into fourteen SLE patients. Clinical changes were evaluated before and after transplantation by SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), 24-hour urine protein, serum albumin and complement C3. The percentages of CD3 +CD8-IL17A + T cells in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry. Concentrations of plasma IL-6, TGF-β, IL-17A, IL-22were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). UC-MSCs and peripheral blood mononindependent samples t-test. Results SLEDAI scores decreased significantly at 3 month (7.8±1.2, t=2.19) and 6 month (6.9±0.9, t=4.2) after UC-MSCs transplantation than pre-transplantation level (10.4±0.9, P< 0.05). Twenty-four-hour proteinuria decreased significantly 6 months after MSCs infusion [(1489±260) mg vs (2454±322) mg, t=2.6, P<0.05]. Meanwhile, serum albumin and complement C3 levels had increased significantly since 1 month after transplantation (P<0.05). The percentages of peripheral blood CD3+CD8-IL17A+T cells decreased obviously in 1 week, 1 month and 6 months after UC-MSCs transplantation (all P<0.05). The coculture of UC-MSCs with PBMC from SLE patients resulted in a statistically significant reduction of CD3+CD8-IL17A+T cells percentage in PBMC (P<0.05), but was not in a dose dependent manner. No change of plasma IL+6, TGF-β, IL-17A and IL-22 levels was observed after UC-MSCs transplantation (P>0.05).Conclusion UC-MSCs transplantation down-regulates the percentages of CD3+CD8-IL17A+T cells in SLE patients, which may be one of the mechanisms for its therapeutic effect in refractory SLE.

Objective To investigate the expressions of cell phenotypes CD_8 and CD_(28) of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with colorectal cancer. Method CD_8 and CD_(28) of cell phenotypes were measured by flow cytometry in 50 patients with colorectal cancer (cancer group) and 30 nontumorous patients (control group). Results The expression of CD_8 in cancer group was significantly higher than that in control group [(32.24±8.38)% vs (22.18±7.55)%](P < 0.01). CD_(28) and CD_8~+/CD_(28)~+ were much lower than those in control group [(52.03±10.94)% vs (60.60±7.98)%,12.18±4.28 vs 16.38±4.94](P<0.01). CD_8~+/CD_(28)~+ in Dukes D stage patients were significantly lower than that in Dukes B stage patients (P<0.05). CD_(28) and CD_8~+/CD_(28)~+ in lymph node metastasis patients were much lower than those in lymph node negative patients (P < 0.01). CD_(28) and CD_8~+/CD_(28)~+ in serosa involved patients were lower than those in no serosa involved patients (P < 0.01). Conclusions The expressions of cell phenotypes CD_8 and CD_(28) of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with colorectal cancer are closely related to biological characteristics of the tumor. The assays of cell phenotypes CD_8 and CD_(28) might be useful for evaluating the immunal statement and prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.

AIM:To study the effects of N-palmitoylethanolamide ( PEA) on the anxiety-and depression-like behaviors of the mouse model induced by restraint stress , and to explore the possible mechanism of anxiolytic and antide-pressant effects of PEA .METHODS:The mice were intragastrically treated with 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg of PEA for 21 con-secutive days once daily .Thirty min after intragastric administration , the mice ( except the normal control group ) were placed in the glass tube to accept 4-h chronic restraint stress for 21 d.After the last administration , the mice were submit-ted to the forced stress test and the open field test (OFT) to observe the effects of PEA on the depression-like behaviors. The cumulative immobility time was recorded during the 4-min interval in the forced swimming test ( FST) or during the 5-min interval in the tail suspension test (TST).The elevated plus maze (EPM) test was used to investigate the effect of PEA on the mouse anxiety-like behaviors , and the water maze method was used to investigate the learning and memory abi-lities, spatial orientation and cognitive function of mice .After the behavior tests , the serum was collected and the hippo-campus was removed . The serum contents of adrenocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) , cortisol ( CORT ) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the hippocampus were detected by ELISA .The changes of acetylcholinesterase ( AChE) ac-tivity in the hippocampal homogenate was measured by spectrophotometry .RESULTS:Compared with model group , in the FST or TST, the immobility time in the mice treated with PEA at 2.5~10 mg/kg and fluoxetine was significantly reduced . In the OFT, the total locomotion distance and total movement time were increased significantly in the mice , but only 10 mg/kg PEA and fluoxetine increased the numbers of rearing .In the EPM test , the percentage of the time spent in open arms, the entries into open arms and the total locomotion distance in 4 arms in the mice were significantly increased .In wa-ter maze test , PEA at 5 and 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine significantly shortened the latency to find the security zone in the mice, and PEA at 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine obviously shorten the swimming distance .Compared with model group , PEA at 10 mg/kg and fluoxetine reduced the mouse serum levels of ACTH and CORT , and the adrenal index , increased the 5-HT content and decreased the AChE activity in the hippocampus .CONCLUSION:PEA produces antagonistic effects on an-xiety-and depression-like behaviors in the mice induced by restraint stress .Its specific mechanism may be related to the re-gulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function by increasing the 5-HT level in hippocampus , thus participating in the regulation of central cholinergic system .

Objective To establish the quality control method for Sanhuang Suppository. Methods Coptidis rhizoma, Scutellariae radix and Phellodendri chinensis cortex in Sanhuang Suppository were identified by TLC.

The linear range of berberine hydrocholride was 0.336-1.68 μg (r=0.999 9) and the average recovery rate was 97.74% (RSD=1.48%).Conclusion The method of qualitative and quantitative analysis is accurate, feasible and suitable for effective quality control of Sanhuang Suppository.

Objective To compare the micromeritics properties and external dissolution rates of Sanhuang Powder in different particle sizes;To provide references for its direct use and application as raw materials for TCM preparation.Methods Particle size, bulk density, tap density, angle of repose, and hygroscopicity ofSanhuang micro-powder and common powder were investigated and evaluated. External dissolution rates ofSanhuang micro-powder and common powder were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.Results The flowability of bothSanhuang micro-powder and common powder were not very well. With the sizes decreasing, the hygroscopicity of micro-powder became stronger. The external dissolution ofSanhuang micro-powder was more sufficient and much more quickly than common powder.Conclusion Properties ofSanhuang micro-powder and common powder are obviously different.Sanhuang micro-powder has stronger hygroscopicity and worse flowability compared with common powder. However, external dissolution ofSanhuang micro-powder is more sufficient and much more quickly than common powder. WhenSanhuang micro-powder is used directly and used as raw materials for TCM preparation, much more discretion should be considered.
