Objective To study the protective effect of FGP on liver damage in mice caused by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).Methods Carbon tetrachloride was used to make the model of chemical liver damage.The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups,10 in each:FGP(10.0 ml/kg)+CCl4,FGP(5.0 ml/kg)+CCl4,FGP(2.5 ml/kg)+CCl4,CCl4(0.12%,10 ml/kg)and the control group.The mice were treated with FGP and CCl4 by gavage and intraperitoneal injection.The biochemical and pathological examinations were conducted to observe the liver damage.Results Compared with CCl4 group,treated with FGP at 5.0 ml/kg could reduce the serum ALT activity significantly,the histopathological findings showed an obvious improvement.Conclusion FGP may have some protective effects on acute live damage caused by CCl4 in the mice.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of breast MRI in patients presenting with microcalcifications on mammography.Methods Eight four patients were retrospectively analyzed,who had mammographically detected BI-RADS (breast imaging reporting and data system) 3 to 5 microcalcifications and underwent breast MRI before surgical biopsy.All mammography and MR images were reviewed with BI-RADS.With histopathological diagnosis as golden standard,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the two methods were calculated and compared with x2 test or Fisher exact test.The diagnostic efficacy of the two methods was compared with ROC curve.Results Pathologic examination revealed 91 lesions in 84 patients including 49 benign lesions and 42 malignant lesions.For 21 lesions of category 3 microcalcifications,the specificity of mammography and MR was 100.0% (21/21) and 95.2% (20/21),which had no significant difference (P=1.000).For 51 lesious of category 4,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of mammography were 100.0%(23/23),0 and 45.1%(23/51).The corresponding values for MR were 91.3%(21/23),82.1% (23/28) and 86.3% (44/51).The difference for specificity and accuracy between the two methods was statistical significant(x2 value was 30.030 and 19.182,respectively,with P<0.01),but not for sensitivity(x2=0.523,P=0.470).Nineteen lesions of category 5 were all correctly diagnosed on mammography and MRI.For all the 91 lesions,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of mammography were 100.0%(42/42),42.9%(21/49) and 69.2%(63/91),respectively.The corresponding values for MRI were 95.2 %(40/42),87.8%(43/49) and 91.2%(83/91).There was significant difference for specificity and accuracy between the two methods (x2 value was 21.798 and 13.851,respectively,with P<0.05),but not for sensitivity (x2=0.512,P=0.474).The areas under ROC curve for mammography and MR were 0.844,0.945(P<0.01),for the estimation of the benign and the malignent.Conclusions Compared with mammography,breast MRI significantly improved the diagnosis of category 4 microcalcifications with increased specificity and accuracy.But for microcalcifications of category 3 and 5,MR didn't improve the diagnostic effect.

Objective To study the relationship between long-term high-salt water and the morbidity mechanism of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), The expression of HSP60 and ras protein were detected in the gastric mucosa of CAG rates induced by high-salt water.Methods The atrophic gastritis rat model was made by high-salt-hot water perfusion and the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa was observed by Laser Scanning ConfocaI Microscopy. Results There was no expression in gastric mucosa in normal group. The expression of HSP60 and ras was observed in the cell plasm of rats at 12 weeks. The higher expression was observed in the rats at 24, 32 and 65 weeks. Using laser scanning confocaI microscopy and immunofluorescence technique had observed coexistence of HSP60 and ras.Conclusion Long time high-salt-hot water can induce CAG and increasing the expression of HSP60 and ras. HSP60 and ras play an important role in the formation of atrophic gastritis.

Objective To explore related factors of amputation in patients with diabetes foot ulcer(DFU) and provide the evidence of reducing amputation rate.Methods A total of 307 inpatients with DFU in this hospital from October 2013 to December 2015 were collected and divided into amputation group(n=28) and non-amputation group(n=279).The clinical data and laboratory data were treated with single variable analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results Single variable analysis showed that hospitalization time,hyper-sensitive C-reactive(hs-CRP) and fibrinogen(FIB) level were significantly increased in amputation group(P<0.05) when compared with non-amputation group,and the hemoglobin (Hb) level,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL) and serum albumin (ALB) level in amputation group were markedly lower than in non-amputation group(P<0.05).Amputation rate was significantly different among different Wagner grades (P=0.000).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hospitalization time,Wagner grade were independent risk factors of amputation in patients with DFU,OR values were 1.024(95%CI:1.009-1.039) and 2.779 (95%CI:1.753-4.404),respectively.While HDL was a protective factor of amputation in patient with DFU (OR=0.161;95%CI:0.036-0.729).Conclusion The higher the rank of Wanger in DFU patients are,the longer hospital stay and the higher amputation risk become.HDL is the protective factor of DFU amputation.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the inhibitory effect of genistin combined with anastrozole on the growth and apoptosis of breast tumor tissue, and to study their anti-cancer mechanism by using the model of 7,12-dimethylbenz [alpha] anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumors following ovariectomy in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.
METHODSThe DMBA induced postmenopausal SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, the genistein group, the anastrozole group, and the genistein combined with anastrozole group. The growth of tumors was observed in each group. The proliferation index and apoptosis index of tumor cells were determined. Moreover, estradiol (E2) and 17beta-HSD1 mRNA levels were determined by ELISA and RT-PCR respectively.
RESULTSThe tumor growth was inhibited in the genistein group and the anastrozole group. The inhibitory ratio was significantly higher in the genistein combined with anastrozole group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, levels of E2 and 17beta-HSD1 mRNA decreased more significantly in the genistein combined with anastrozole group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSGenistein could suppress the growth of mammary tumors in postmenopausal rats. It showed synergistic effect when combined with anastrozole, which resulted in reduced levels of E2 and 17beta-HSD1 mRNA. It had inhibitory effect on the growth of breast tumors.
