Objective To investigate the effect of dual antiplatelet drugs on the intestinal damage in rats. Meth-ods Eighty SD rats were randomly allocated into four groups:control group (normal saline, n=20), aspirin group (10.41 mg/kg, n=20), clopidogrel group (7.81 mg/kg, n=20) and clopidogrel combined aspirin group (n=20). Each group was given intra-gastric administration of drugs once per day for 14 days. All rats received operation after the final intragastric administration. The intestinal injury was observed. The jejunal fluid was taken for bacterial culture. The intestinal permeability was detected by ethidium bromide (EB) method. The small intestinal mucosal injury was estimated by Chiu method. Results The differ-ent degrees of small intestinal mucosal injury were found in four groups. The scores of pathological lesions were significantly higher in aspirin group, clopidogrel group and clopidogrel combined aspirin group than those of control group (P<0.05). The dual antiplatelet group showed the highest score (3.450±1.356). The small intestinal permeability was significantly increased in experiment groups compared with that of control group (54.012±3.513μg/g, P<0.05). There was a significantly higher small intestinal permeability in dual antiplatelet group than that of aspirin group and clopidogrel group (μg/g:130.533 ± 29.631 vs 90.965±3.765 vs 66.800±4.853, P<0.001). The total jejunal bacteria was significantly increased in dual antiplate-let group than that of control group (CFU/mL:61924.805±1751.159 vs 18154.280±1153.376, P<0.001). The ratio of entero-bacterium and enterococcus was significantly decreased in dual antiplatelet group compared with that of control group (0.220±0.089 vs 1.007±0.148, P<0.001). Conclusion The routine dose of dual antiplatelet drug aggravates the small intes-tinal injury in rats compared with that of single drug. The manifestations of intestinal mucosal injury include increased intes-tinal bacteria, dysbacteriosis, and increased small intestinal permeability.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of CD44 gastric cancer stem cell biomarker positive circulating tumor cells (CTC ) in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer . Methods From March 2010 to December 2012 ,45 patients with gastric cancer and 20 healthy individuals were enrolled .Peripheral blood samples of all the subjects were collected .The expression of CTC and CD44 postive CTC were detected by density gradient centrifugation method and double immunofluorescent staining .Chi‐square test and t‐test were performed for statistical analysis .Results CTC in peripheral blood of healthy controls were not detected .Among 45 patients with gastric cancer ,CTC were detected in 27 patients and 19 of them were CD44‐positive .The difference in positive rate of CTC expression was statistically significant between two groups (χ2 =10 .986 , P<0 .05) .Among 27 CTC‐positive patients , 19 were proximal gastric cancer and 16 of them were CD44‐positive;16 patients had lymph node metastasis and 14 of them were CD44‐positive;13 patients had distant metastasis and 12 of them were CD44‐positive;14 patients had recurrence and 13 of them were CD44‐positive .The CD44 positive CTC was correlated with tumor location ,lymph node metastasis ,distant metastasis and recurrence (χ2=5 .891 ,5 .527 ,5 .787 and 7 .052 ,respectively ,all P<0 .05) .Furthermore ,in 13 patients with recurrence and CD44 positive CTC ,the recurrence time was (10 .54 ± 5 .55) months which was shorter than that of one patients with CD44 negative CTC (19 months) ,and the difference was statistically significant (t= -3 .654 , P=0 .004) .Conclusions CTC which express cancer stem cell marker may be associated with recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer .It has more important clinical significance to detect this subtype of CTC .

Objective: To detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with gastric cancer and evaluate the relationship among CTCs, clinico-pathological characteristics, and prognosis of gastric cancer. Methods: Peripheral blood samples (10 mL in EDTA) were obtained from 45 patients with gastric cancer. CTCs were detected using density-gradient centrifugation and immunofluo-rescence staining. The clinical significance of the two methods were also compared and investigated. Results:CTC-positive case was defined by the presence of at least one CK19 (+)-CTC per 10 mL of the sample. CTCs were found in 27 of the 45 patients with gastric cancer. The presence of CTCs was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and recurrence (P=0.007, 0.035, 0.035, respectively). However, CTCs were not significantly correlated with sex, age, tumor location, TNM staging, and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). Conclusion:CTCs were associated with poor prognosis of gastric cancer.

0.05).Conclusions The patients with sepsis lasting more than 7 days had high mortality (50%). While percentage of CD14 and CD14MFI of peripheral blood are increased,the total scores of SOFA and numbers of MOF are decreased.The improvement of monocytes function indicates good prognosis. The changes of expression of ICAM-1,serum TNF-? and IL-10 can not reflect prognosis in septic patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between the change of hypoxic in microenvironment and the genesis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in gastric adenocarcinoma.Methods After human gastric adenocarcinomn BGC-823 cells treated with different concentration of CoCl2 (0,100,200,300,400 μmol/L)for four hours,the expression levels of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α)were detected by Western blot to select the optimal concentration.A total of 40 BALB/c mice were divided into two equal groups,named hypoxic group and normoxic group.Optimal concentration of CoCl2 treated BGC-823 gastric cancer cells and non hypoxic induced BGC 823 gastric cancer cells were injected through the tail vein.After three days blood samples were collected through the angular vein.CTCs were enriched by density gradient centrifugation,identified with cytokeratin19 (CK19) antibody marker by cell immunofluorescence and cell number was counted.Statistical significace test were performed by analysis of variance and Dunnett-T test.Results The expression of HIF-1α reached a maximun of 1.40±-0.16 when BGC-823 cells were treated with 200 μmol/L CoCl2 for four hours.The number of CTCs in hypoxic group was higher than that of normoxic group ((4.70± 1.72)/high power field (HPF) vs (1.15±0.56)/HPF,Z=-4.824,P＜0.01).Conclusion Hypoxic microenvironment might promote the genesis of CTC in gastric adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) caused gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly.Methods We performed a retrospective analysis ofNSAIDs caused gastrointestinal bleeding with 308 cases admitted to Department of Gastroenterology,The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University.Patients were divided into elderly group(≥65 years,n =208) and young group (＜ 60 years,n =100) to make a comparative analysis of two group differences in clinical characteristics.Results The NSAIDs in the elderly taking were mainly Aspirin (55.8 ％ (116/208)),which was significantly more frequent than that of young group (37.0％ (37/100),x2 =9.517,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference on the blood routine and coagulation between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The recent bleeding rate of the elderly group (21.2％ (44/208)) was lower than the young group (63.0％ (63/100))(x2 =52.161,P ＜0.05).The two groups had no significant difference on the history of uleer and Hp infection (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The clinical characteristics of NSAIDs caused gastrointestinal bleeding on the elderly were different with young or middle-aged.This infers that elderly patients need individualized treatment.

Trichoderma harziaiarum plays a role of antagonic ability to pathogenic micr obes and of inducing plant to produce a resistivity of disease. In this paper, afte r the rice was sprinkled by zymolytic liquid of Trichoderma harziaiarum, the changes on the activities and isoenzymes of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and pe roxidase (POD) were investigated. The results indicated that Trichoderma harz iarum could increase the activities of PPO and POD and produce new pattern of isoe nzymes; the different concentration of zymotic liquid had a different effects on the PPO and POD that were caused by the liquid; the 50 times diluted liquid had a greatly positive relation to the POD activity; and the higher concentration o f the liquid had a tendency that made the PPO activity inhibition and then incre ase, which denoted that the liquid took a scheduled adjustment play of the PPO a ctivity.

The muttagenic H-13 strain which was injected by ionic beam and screened from Trichoderma hamzlaiarum, can promote the growth of rice remarkably. In the experiment, we use zymolytic liquid of H-13 strain sprinkle on the seedling of rice, and determine nitrate reductase activity and N, P, K content. The results suggest that the effect of promoting plant growth of the strain has a relation to the enhance of nitrate reductase activity and the increase of N, P and K absorption.
