Aim To investigate the effect of Dicranostiga Leptodu (Maxim) Fedde (DLF) on experimental liver injury induced by Calmette Guerin bacillus vaccine (BCG) and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice. Methods Experimental liver injury was induced by Calmette Guerin bacillus vaccine and Lipopolysaccharide in male mice by injecting via tail vein (50 ?g?kg -1 ), and administering LPS (10 ?g?mouse -1 ) 10 d later. Therapeutic groups were given respectively with DLF (0 5,1 0,2 0 g?kg -1 ) before administration of LPS. The level of ALT, AST and LDH and the concentration of ALB and GLB in serum were measured by automatic biochemistry analyzer, and MDA in liver plasma was measured by TBA method and the level of SOD was measured by pyrogallol auto oxidation method. Pathological morphological changes in liver tissue were observed. Results The three experimental groups were found with significant decrease in the elevation of serum GPT and LDH level and the content of MDA in the liver plasma. The liver tissue damages were also ameliorated. Conclusion DLF has protective effect against the experimental liver injury induced by BCG and LPS in mice.

Objective To investigate the epidemic characteristics and trends of incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in cancer registration areas in Zhejiang province from 2000 to 2009.Methods Clinical data incidence and mortality of prostate cancer were collected from 6 cancer registration areas in Zhejiang province,including Hangzhou,Jiaxing,Jiashan,Haining,Shangyu and Xianju.Crude rates,standardized rate and change trend,age-specific rates and annual percent change (APC,95％ CI) of prostate cancer were checked,sorted and analyzed in Zhejiang Cancer Center.Results The prostate cancer incidence rate from 2000 to 2009 was 9.79/100 000,age-standardized incidence rates by world standard population (ASIRW) was 6.39/100 000,and the incidence cumulative risk of males aged 0-74 was 0.72％ ; while the mortality rate was 2.73/100 000,age-standardized mortality rates by world standard population was 1.74/100 000,and the mortality cumulative risk of males aged 0-74 was 0.14％.Age-specific incidence of prostate cancer remained low before 50,years old and peaked at over 85-year-old group (130.30/100 000).Age-specific mortality of prostate cancer increased after 55,and also peaked at over 85-year-old group (81.19/100 000).The annual prostate cancer incidence rate generally grew from 1.39/100 000 (2000) to 13.89/100 000 (2009),and the APC was 14.18％ (95％ CI,9.68％-18.98％).Meanwhile,the prostate cancer mortality rate also increased from 1.52/100 000 (2000) to 3.58/100 000 (2009),and the APC was 11.83％ (95％ CI,5.69％-18.33％).Conclusion Prostate cancer incidence and mortality in Zhejiang cancer registration areas increased sharply,and the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer should be strengthened.

AIM: To investigate the effects of angiotensinⅡ receptor type Ⅰ antagonist irbesartan and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor perindopril on the myocardial expression of connexin 43 (CX43), desmin and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in the pressure overload-induced rat cardiac hypertrophy. METHODS: 40 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups (8 animals for each): sham operation group and other four groups with ventricular hypertrophy caused by banding aortic artery. Drugs were given one week after operation as follows: sham operation group, normal saline (2 mL?kg~-1?d~-1 ig) was given; Operative groups: animals with ventricular hypertrophy were treated with normal saline 2 mL?kg~-1?d~-1 ig; Treatment groups: animals with ventricular hypertrophy were treated with perindopril 2 mg?kg~-1?d~-1 ig, irbesartan 20 mg?kg~-1?d~-1 ig or irbesartan 20 mg?kg~-1?d~-1 ig plus perindopril 2 mg?kg~-1?d~-1 ig, respectively. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI), transverse diameter of myocardial cell (TDM), and myocardial expression of CX43, desmin and cTnT by immunohistochemistry were performed at the end of 8 weeks of drug intervention. RESULTS: LVMI, TDM were remarkably decreased after drug intervention, compared to animals of operative group (P

AIM:To explore and compare effect of coaxial micro-incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification in the treatment of cataract.
METHODS:A total of 88 patients(88 eyes) with senile cataract who underwent selective cataract ultrasonic emulsification resorption combined with intraocular lens implantation in the hospital from Aug. 2013 and Aug. 2015 were selected, they were divided randomly into the control group ( 44 cases, 38 cases completed, 6 cases dropped out ) and the observation group ( 44 cases, 40 cases completed, 4 cases dropped out ) . The control group received standard coaxial 3. 0mm small incision phacoemulsification, the observation group received coaxial 1. 8mm micro-incision phacoemulsification. All patients were combined with intraocular lens implantation. Intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy, best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery in the two groups were recorded, corneal endothelium cell population, incision corneal thickness, percentage of cornea hexagon cell, corneal astigmatism changes before the operation, 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation were compared.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in intraoperative effective ultrasonic time, cumulative release energy in the two groups(P>0. 05). There was no significant difference in postoperative best corrected visual acuity between the two groups(P>0. 05). Corneal endothelium cell population, percentage of cornea hexagon cell 1d, 7d, 30d after the operation in the two groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment ( P < 0. 05 ), but there was no significant difference in the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Incision corneal thickness 30d after the operation in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05). Degree of corneal astigmatism in the observation group 1d, 7d, and 30d after the operation were significantly lower than the control group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Coaxial micro - incision phacoemulsification and standard coaxial phacoemulsification can improve visual acuity of cataract patients, but the former can reduce degree of corneal astigmatism.

Objective Pathogen and antimicrobial susceptibility in children with bacterial meningitis were reviewed.Methods The positive cultures of cerebrospinal fluid samples or blood samples and its antimicrobial susceptibility were analyzed in 401 patients with the clinical diagnosis of bacterial meningitis.Results 401 cases cerebrospinal fluid samples and blood samples submitted to microbiology laboratory, 97 cases (24%) were microscopically and culturally proven to be bacterial meningitis. The most frequent pathogen was staphylococcus aureus (28%), followed by the streptococcus pneumoniae (19%) and escherichia coli (13%). Pediococci as conditioned pathogen, were found in purulent meningitis patients. One of the isolates of Staphylococcus aureus was simultaneously resistant to both vancomycin and teicoplanin. Three isolates showed simultaneous resistance to imipenem/cilastatin.Conclusions Staphylococcus aureus as the predominant pathogens of pediatric ranks first among pediatric patients of purulent meningitis. Serious drug resistance of isolated pathogenic bacteria and its in antimicrobial susceptibility in the bacterial meningitis should be considered in clinical therapy.
