ObjectiveTo study the clinical effect of endoscopic treatment for acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.MethodsThe clinical data of 78 cases in our hospital with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding were retrospectively analyze.All patients were checked by gastroscopy accompanied by endoscopic treatment.Another 50 cases received ogilvy pull thiazole treatment were analyzed.ResultsAfter endoscopic therapy,all patients were successfully achieved hemostasis,success rate 100.0％.Of which 27 cases were treated by spraying drugs in conducting hemostasis,25 cases succeeded at the first time,the other two turned to injection after the failure;21 cases were treated by injection to stanch bleeding succeeded for the first time;30 cases were treated with titanium clips made it at the first course.None of the patients transferred to surgical treatment,no complications such as perforation and no death.Curative effect of Imidazole group compared with ogilvy pull is different with,a statistical significance( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionEndoscopic treatment for acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding could be affirmed,and relatively safe,little trauma,and it could be used as the first method in treating non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of surgical treatment and ultrasonic guidance percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(PRFA) therapy in the treatment of liver cancer.Methods 78 patiens with live cancer were randomly divided into the operation group and PRFA group,each group had 39 patients.The operation group was treated with traditional open surgery,the PRFA group was treated with radiofrequency ablation.The clinical effect was compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed up after therapy,the 1,2,3-year survival rate between operation group and PRFA group had no significant differences (all P ＞ 0.05),but in the patients whose tumor were central type and samller than 3cm,the 1,2,3-year survival rate of PRFA group were significantly higher than operation group(x2 =4.819,4.815,4.919,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ultrasonic guidance percutaneous radiofrequency ablation therapy in the treatment of liver tumor is effective,and the effect is better than operation group,especially for the patients with central type tumor and the tumor samller than 3cm.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship of the height difference and bone density (BD) of premenopausal and postmenopausal women. METHODS: The height values of 191 premenopausal and postmenopausal women were recorded, and the BD values of lumbar vertebrae and hip were detected by double energy X-ray BD detector. RESULTS: The lower the height of the postmenopausal women, the less the BD value. The BD of lumbar vertebrae dropped 0.025 5 g/cm(2) with each 2 cm of the shortened height, and the BD of hip joint dropped 0.029 2 g/cm(2). The shortened value in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis was statistically greater than that in postmenopausal women without osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: The BD of the postmenopausal women can be estimated by the calculation of their shortened height value.

Objective To investigate the probable risk factors for type 2 diabetic patients complicated nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NFLD)in elderly, through comparing the body composition, serum lipid profile, incidences of abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) between elderly type 2 diabetic patients with and without NFLD. Methods The enrolled elderly type 2 diabetic patients were divided into NFLD group (n=83) and non-NFLD group (n=85). Their clinical data including body composition, serum lipid profile, incidences of abdominal obesity and MS were analyzed retrospectively and compared. Results Compared with non-NFLD group, the BMI [(26.9±2.5) kg/m~2 vs. (24.1±2.5) kg/m~2, P=0.000], waist-hip ratios (WHR) ((0.92±0.07) vs. (0.87±0.06), P=0.000], total body fat percentage [(29.6%±6.6%) vs. (25.3%±5.5%),P=0.000], abdominal fat [(11.0±2.5) kg vs. (8.7±2.3) kg, P=0.000], visceral fat [(3.0±0.7) kg vs. (2.3±0.6)kg, P=0.000], visceral fat area [(97.6±22.2) cm~2 vs. (75.5±21.1) cm~2,P=0. 000], serum triglyceride [(1.98±0.94) mmol/L vs. (1.22±0.61) mmol/L, P=0.000]were all increased, while serum HDL [(1.23±0.32) mmol/L vs. (1.40±0.37) mmol/L, P=0.002]was decreased in NFLD group. The incidences of over-body fat (68.7% vs. 36.5%, P=0. 000),dyslipidemia (47.0% vs. 21.2%, P=0. 000), abdominal obesity (69.9% vs. 43.5%, P=0.001) and MS (49.4% vs. 9.6%, P=0.000) were obviously increased. But there were no statistical differences in serum TC [(4.93±0.94) mmol/L vs. (4. 73±1.07) mmol/L, P=0.219]and LDL [(3.23±0.80) mmol/L vs. (3. 07±0.89) mmol/L, P=0. 229]between the two groups. Logistic regression showed that high BMI (β=1.268, P=0.000, OR=3.56), over-total body fat percentage (β=0.902, P=0.023, OR=2.47)and the existence of MS (β=1. 664, P=0. 000, OR=5.28) were related to elderly type 2 diabetic patients complicated NFLD. Conclusions The high BMI, over-total body fat percentage are related to elderly type 2 diabetic patients complicated NFLD, and NFLD is probably one of components of metabolic syndrome.

Objective To compare anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects of Bupleurum marginatum Wall. ex DC. and Bupleurum chinense DC. Methods The anti-inflammatory effect of two kinds of radix bupleuri decoction were compared using the xylene-induced ear edema mice model and the egg white-induced foot swelling rats model. Acute liver injury in mice was induced through intraperitoneal injection of peanut oil with 0. 1%carbon tetrachloride. Alanine aminotransferase ( ALT ) , aspartate aminotransferase ( AST ) , and alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ) in serum, superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , and glutathione ( GSH ) in liver tissue homogenate were detected. Histopathological changes, transforming growth factor-β ( TGF-β) and nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) in hepatic tissues were also observed. Results Ear swelling experiment showed that the decoction of both Bupleurum marginatum Wall. ex DC. and Bupleurum chinense DC. had equal anti-inflammatory effects (P>0. 05). Similarly,the decoction of Bupleurum marginatum Wall. ex DC. and Bupleurum chinense DC. improved levels of ALT,AST,SOD,GSH,and MDA to the same extent compared with the model control group ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 ). There was no significant difference among all groups in ALP levels ( P > 0. 05 ). Histopathological and immunohistochemical experiments showed that expressions of TGF-β and NF- κB were similar between the two kinds of radix bupleuri. Conclusion Bupleurum marginatum Wall. ex DC. and Bupleurum chinense DC. have similar anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects.

Objective To evaluate the role of intercellular gap junction in the propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia in rats. Methods Eighty male Wistar rats weighing 210-260 g were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 10 each): control group (group C), carbenoxolone group (group CA), propofol group (group P), different doses of carbenoxolone + propofol groups (groups CA1 + P, CA2 + P, CA3 + P), sevoflurane group (group S) and carbenoxolone + sevoflurane group (group CA + S). The animals ware anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloraldurate 4 mg/kg and placed in a stereotactic apparatus to locate the lateral ventricle. In group C, after normal saline (NS) 2 μl was injected into the latersl ventricle, intraperitoneal NS 2 ml was injected. In group CA, after carbenoxolone 200 μg was injected into the lateral ventricle, intraperitoneal NS 2 ml was injected. In groups P,CA1 + P, CA2 + P and CA3 + P, NS 2 μl, and carbenoxolone 200, 300 and 400 μg were injected into the lateral ventricle respectively and then propofol 5 mg/100 g was injected intraperitoneally. Group S inhaled 1% sevoflurane (in increments of 0. 1% ) until the righting reflex was lost. Group CA + S inhaled 1% sevoflurane (in increments of 0.1% ) until the righting reflex was lost after carbenoxolono 200 μg was injected into the lateral ventricle. The time of loss of righting reflex, duration of loss of righting reflex and the sevoflurane concentration when the righting reflex disappeared were recorded. Results The loss of righting reflex did not appear in groups C and CA. Compared with group P, the time of loss of righting reflex was significantly shortened and duration of loss of righting reflex prolonged in groups CA1 + P, CA2 + P, CA3 + P ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The time of loss of righting reflex was significandy shorter in groups CA2 + P, CA3 + P than in group CA1 + P (P ＜ 0.05). The sevoflurane concentration when the righting reflex disappeared was significantly lower in group CA + S than in group S ( P ＜ 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in the time of loss of righting reflex and duration of loss of righting reflex between CA + S and S groups ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Although inhibition of the function of gap junction can strengthen the anesthetic effects of propofol and sevoflurane, it is not the major mechanism.

Objective To examine the different effects of impulsive and aggressive personality on college students' suicide attempt. Methods Four thousand nine hundred eighteen sophomores and juniors were selected according to the principle of cluster sampling from Beijing agricultural university and Beijing university of information science and tech?nology. Four thousand seven hundred ninety-seven of them completed the survey. Their impulsive and aggressive person?ality were evaluated by the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Chinese Versions (BIS-CV) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire-Chinese Versions (AQ-CV). A self-made questionnaire were used to investigate suicidal idea and self-in?jury/suicidal behavior of college students. Results Among the sophomores and juniors, 18 participants had self-injury/suicidal behavior (3.75‰) and 1843 had suicidal idea (38.42%). Compared with the students who didn’t have self-inju?ry/suicidal behavior, those who once had self-injury/suicidal behavior had significantly higher BIS-CV score (P<0.01) and higher scores of non-planning and motor factors (P<0.05). They also had significantly higher score in AQ-CV and the factors of physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, hostility and pointing to the self attacks (P<0.01). Conclu? sions The college students with self-injury/suicidal behavior have higher tendency in impulsive and aggressive personali?ty. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent suicide behavior, form high impulsive and aggressive intention and behavior.

AIM:To detect the activation of macrophage autophagy caused by lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) and the possible related signaling pathways .METHODS:The macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cultured in vitro was divided into 5 groups according to the culture environment , including normal culture group , starvation-activated sautophagy group , LPS group, LPS+PI3K inhibitor (hVps34) group and LPS+mTOR inhibitor (rapamycin) group.Fluorescent expression vector pcDNA3.1-GFP-LC3 constructed in previous work was transfected into the macrophages .The fluorescence microscopy was used to detect the formation of autophagosome .The mRNA expression of autophagy-associated genes Atg5, Atg7, LC3-II and Bnip3 in the macrophages was detected by qRT-PCR.The protein levels of LC3-II, p-Akt and p-mTOR were deter-mined by Western blotting , so as to evaluate the molecular pathways of autophagy in LPS-activated macrophages .RE-SULTS:The macrophages stably expressing GFP-LC3 were successfully established , which were used to observe the auto-phagy under fluorescence microscope .Compared with normal culture group , the autophagy in starvation group , LPS +hVps34 group and LPS+rapamycin group was significantly increased .The mRNA expression levels of Atg5, LC3-II and Bnip3 were significantly increased in starvation group , LPS+hVps34 group and LPS +rapamycin group , while in LPS group, those decreased slightly .The protein level of p-Akt in starvation group , LPS group and LPS+rapamycin group was significantly increased , while p-mTOR in starvation group , LPS+hVps34 group and LPS+rapamycin group significantly declined .LC3-II expression level in starvation group , LPS+hVps34 group and LPS+rapamycin group was higher than that in control group and LPS group .CONCLUSION: LPS regulates macrophage autophagy , and its possible pathway is the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, but there are some other effective regulatory pathways .
