Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of magnesium aluminium carbonate, lansoprazole, amoxicillin and furazolidone in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori-related gastric ulcer. Methods: From March 2016 to December 2017, 120 patients with HP related gastric ulcer who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the digestive department of Linxi Hospital of Kailuan general hospital.They were divided into observation group and control group with random number table method, 60 cases in each group.The control group was given lansoprazole+ amoxicillin+ furazolidone triple therapy.On this basis, the observation group was added with magnesium aluminum carbonate.The clinical efficacy, clearance rate of Helicobacter pylori, the level of VEGF and EGF in gastric juice were compared between the two groups. Results: The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was 95.0% (57/60), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (83.3%) (50/60). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=4.23, P<0.05). The comprehensive symptom scores of the two groups decreased significantly with the treatment time (observation group: before treatment(9.6±2.2), treatment 2 weeks (5.5±1.5), treatment 4 weeks (4.3±1.2), treatment 6 weeks (3.1±0.8), control group (9.4±2.5), treatment 2 weeks (7.2±1.3), treatment 4 weeks (6.6±1.4), treatment 6 weeks (4.5±1.0)), and observation group syndrome scores There was significant difference between the two groups (F_inter-group=23.54, P_inter-group<0.05; F_intra-group=87.62, P_intra-group<0.05; F_interaction=8.47, P_interaction<0.05). After treatment, VEGF level in gastric juice of the two groups increased significantly after treatment.In the observation group( (429.4±128.5) pg/ml )was significantly higher than that in the control group( (380.3±137.2) pg/ml, t=2.02, P<0.05). The EGF level in gastric juice of the two groups increased significantly after treatment.In the observation group( (658.1±164.0) pg/ml )was significantly higher than that in the control group ((583.5±135.1) pg/ml, t=2.72, P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 6.7% (4/60) in the observation group and 8.3% (5/60) in the control group.There was no significant difference (χ²=0.12, P>0.05). Conclusion The treatment of Helicobacter pylori related gastric ulcer with the combination of aluminum carbonate, lansoprazole, amoxicillin and furazolidone can obviously improve the clinical symptoms and promote the regeneration of ulcer mucosa.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the formulation method of medication index in clinical departments of the local hospital and the improvement of hospital medication index after the formulation of medication index. METHODS:Retrospective analysis was used to summarize and analyze the formulation,revision and application of 5 medication indexes(the proportion of drug cost in medical income,utilization rate of antibiotics in the inpatients,AUD of inpatients,the proportion of antibiotics cost in drug income,the proportion of national essential medicine cost in drug income)in clinical departments of 4 general hospitals of Nanyang. RESULTS:The medication indexes of clinical departments in 4 hospitals were formulated primarily during 2009-2014. The formulation of medication indexes in clinical departments was passed and implemented by Pharmaceutical Administration and Drug Treatment Committee/Antibiotics Management Group on the basis of the previous indicators of clinical departments. Till 2017,the times of medication indexes revision were 0.42-0.58 time/year. Before the formulation of medication indexes in clinical departments,5 indexes of each hospital were mostly not in line with the regulation of health administration department. During Jul. 2016-Jun. 2017,5 medication indexes of 4 hospitals ranged 32%-41%,47%-53%,30-37 DDD,13%-20%,21%-32%, respectively. Rational drug indexes conformed to the provisions of the administrative department of health basically. The author provided related suggestions about departments in charge of formulating and adjusting medication indexes,methods for the primary formulation and modification of medication indexes,formulation of medication indexes in special department,management measures after the formulation of medication indexes. CONCLUSIONS:At present,the formulation and management of medication indicators in 4 hospitals of local area develop well,and effectively promote the level of clinical rational drug use.

Objective To study the putative mechanisms underlying fetal alcohol syndrome by comparative protein-profile analysis between normal and ethanol-treated zebrafish embryo with twodimensional electrophoresis (2-DE).Methods Zebrafish embryos were exposed in 400 mmol/L ethanol at dome stage for 3 hours,and then ethanol-induced abnormalities were observed.Proteomes of zebrafish embryos at early stages including zygote stage,dome stage,shield stage and 5-somite stage,were separated by 2-DE.The subtraction analysis method was applied to eliminate the interference from maternal derived proteins.The ethanol-treated embryos at 5-somite stage was analyzed by 2-DE,and the protein profile was compared with that generated from control embryos at the same stage.The data obtained from 2-DE analysis were verified by in-situ hybridization.Results 400 mmol/L ethanol treatment caused axial malformation (62%) and cyclopia (60%) in zebrafish embryos.The 2-DE analysis showed that the expression of Collagen2al (Col2a1) and TAR DNA binding protein (TDP) was decreased in 12 hours post fertilization (12 hpf) ethanol-treated embryos by 81% and 73%,respectively.The in-situ hybridization also demonstrated that the expression of Col2al in axial mesoderm was reduced by ethanol treatment at the same stage.But for 24 hpf ethanoltreated embryos,the expression of Col2al in axis recovered to a comparable level to that in control embryos,while the structure of neural tube was disrupted severely by ethanol exposure.Conclusions It is suggested that the expressions of Col2al and TDP were disrupted by ethanol during early stage,which might induce the zebrafish developmental abnormalities.The ethanol interference on early expression of Col2al is supposed to be one of the major reasons leading to later abnormalities of axis and neutral tube.

AIM: To explore the effects of exendin-4 (EX-4) on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-mediated insulin resistance in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes.METHODS: In vitro 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes, and the cells were treated with tunicamycin (TM), tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) or EX-4, respectively.The cell viability was measured by MTT assay.The glucose consumption was determined by glucose oxidase assay to evaluate insulin sensitivity of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes with different interventions.The protein levels of p-Akt, Akt and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers, including inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), p-IRE1, JNK, p-JNK, protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), p-PERK, eukaryotic initation factor 2 alpha (eIF2a), p-eIF2a, activating transcription factor-6(ATF-6) were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: The insulin-stimulated glucose consumption and the protein level of p-Akt were inhibited by TM at 5 mg/L for 5 h (P<0.05), while they were increased when the cells were treated with TUDCA at 1 mmol/L or EX-4 at 100 nmol/L for 24 h (P<0.05).The effects above induced by TM (5 mg/L for 5 h) were also blunted by pretreating with TUDCA at 1 mmol/L or EX-4 at 100 nmol/L for 24 h (P<0.05).The protein levels of ERS markers such as p-IRE1, p-JNK, p-PERK, p-eIF2a and ATF-6 were significantly increased by treating with TM at 5 mg/L for 5 h, whereas 24 h pre-treatment with TUDCA or Ex-4 alleviated the ERS of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes induced by TM.The expression of total IRE1, JNK, PERK and eIF2a was not changed in different groups.CONCLUSION: Exendin-4 improves endoplasmic reticulum stress mediated insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Purpose To study the expression and interaction of iNOS and COX-2 in colorectal adenocarcinoma, as well as their relationship with the biological behaviors of colorectal adenocarcinoma.Methods Intestinal biopsy specimens of colorectal adenocarcinoma were collected in the 78 cases and 33 normal intestinal mucosal tissues.The expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins was detected by immunohistochemical staining (SP method).Results The positive rates of iNOS and COX-2 protein was significantly higher in normal intestinal mucosa than that in colorectal adenocarcinoma (P<0.05).The expression of iNOS and COX-2 protien had significant relation with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).The positive expression of iNOS and COX-2 in intestinal adenocarcinoma was related with TNM stage:the positive expression in patients with Ⅲ+Ⅳ stage was higher than that with Ⅰ+Ⅱstage (P<0.05). The expression of iNOS was closely correlated with COX-2 (P<0.05).Conclusions The overexpression of COX-2 and iNOS participates in the pathogenesis of colorectal carcinoma and is associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage of colorectal adenocarcinoma.The expression of iNOS is correlated with COX-2 in the cancer.

【Objective】 To investigate the impact of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FGD5-AS1 on the malignant biolo-goical behavior of bladder cancer (BC) cells by regulating micro RNA (miR)-129-5p/cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) axis. 【Methods】 Human BC cell line T24 was cultured from tumor tissue and paracancerous tissue of 105 patients with confirmed BC. The expressions of FGD5-AS1, miR-129-5p and CDK6 mRNA in tissue samples and T24 cells were detected with RT-qPCR. T24 cells were randomly divided into control group, si-NC group, si-FGD5-AS1 group, si-FGD5-AS1+inhibitor NC group and si-FGD5-AS1+miR-129-5p inhibitor group. The cell viability, migration, invasion andapoptosis were detected with CCK-8, Wound healing test, Transwell assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase3 and CDK6 were detected with Western blot. The relationship between FGD5-AS1 and miR-129-5p, between miR-129-5p and CDK6 were verified with double luciferase reporter gene experiment. 【Results】 FGD5-AS1 and CDK6 mRNA were highly expressed in BC tissue, while miR-129-5p was lowly expressed (P<0.05). After FGD5-AS1 silencing, the expression of FGD5-AS1,A450 value, cell scratch healing rate, cell invasion number, and expressions of Bcl-2 and CDK6 were significantly lower, while the apoptosis rate and expressions of miR-129-5p, Bax and Caspase3 were significantly higher (P<0.05). Inhibition of miR-129-5p expression reversed the effects of FGD5-AS1 silencing on various indexes of BC cells (P<0.05). FGD5-AS1 negatively regulated the expression of miR-129-5p, and miR-129-5p negatively regulated the expression of CDK6. 【Conclusion】 Silencing FGD5-AS1 may inhibit the expression of CDK6 protein by up-regulating miR-129-5p, thus inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells and promoting cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between snoring and carotid artery plaques in the elderly population. METHOD: Sixty-seven patients with snoring and 61 healthy volunteers accepted questionnaire on sleep apnea were analyzed in the survey. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting carotid artery plaques. RESULT: Among the non-snorers (n = 61), mild snorer (n = 18), moderate snorers (n = 24) and severe snorers (n = 25) groups, the prevalence of carotid artery plaques in four groups were 19.7%, 44.4%, 62.5%, 84.0% respectively. There was statistically significant differences between groups. After multivariable adjustment, the moderate and severe snorers were still risk factors affecting carotid artery plaques, the OR (95% CI) values were 4.378 (1.181-16.225), and 19.572 (3.316-115.528) respectively. CONCLUSION The moderate and severe snoring in the elderly population were relevant to the increased prevalence of carotid artery plaques, and was a risk factor on carotid artery plaques.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of the endothelial cells on the scar-derived fibroblasts in the hypertropic scar tissue.

METHODSThe endothelial cell from the human umbilical vein was cultured and its supernatant was then collected. Thereafter, it was mixed with the pre-cultured scar-derived fibroblasts from the hypertropic scar tissue. The fibroblasts were analyzed with a flow cytometer in a MTT-assay method to evaluate the cell proliferation and its division cycle.

RESULTSThe endothelial cells were significantly increasing the scar-derived fibroblast proliferation (P < 0.05), compared with the control. The proportion of the fibroblasts in the S-stage of cell cycle was also quite high.

CONCLUSIONThe endothelial cells may secrete some active products, which may enhance the proliferation of the scar-derived fibroblasts and stimulate the fibroblasts into the S-stage of cell generation cycle.
