Currently, about 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Most of these sufferers inhale immunosuppressants (ie corticosteroids) and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists for their asthma treatment. However, about 5%-10% of patients of asthma have poor response to such treatment. Investigation of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor as a target molecule in the treatment of allergic asthma has been the concern of scholars home and abroad. This paper reviewed inhibitors of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factors for the treatment of asthma.

Objective: To investigate whether periodontitis might adversely affect the outcome of eradication of gastric Helicobacter pylori(Hp) . Methods: Ninety one patients with gastric Helicobacter pylori and periodontitis were enrolled. The patients were treated by medicine therapy, meanwhile 33 of them were treated by initial periodontal therapy. After treatment, the effect of initial periodontal therapy on the eradication of gastric( Hp ) was examined with 13 C urea breath test. The correlation between the gastric eradication rate and periodontitis was analyzed. Results: Four weeks and one year after medicine therapy, the eradication rate was singnificantly lower in the patients with PD≥4 mm than in those with PD

Objective: To investigate whether initial periodontal therapy may affect the presence of oral Helicobacter pylori(Hp), and to compare the genotype of Helicobacter pylori in oral cavity and that in stomach. Methods: 56 patients with gastric Hp and periodontitis were enrolled in this study. PCR was carried out to identify the presence of Hp in the samples before and after initial periodontal therapy(group 1) or medicine therapy(group 2). DNA sequence of PCR products of 5 patients and 1 Hp infected patient's relative was compared and analyzed. Results: Four weeks after medicine therapy, the rate of Hp in oral cavity was singnificantly lower in group 1 than that in group 2 (3.0% vs 26.1%, P

Objective To evaluate the outcome of valvular surgery in the elderly. Methods Between 1993 and 2004, 4546 patients underwent cardiac valve operation at our hospital. 252 patients (5.5%)(147 males, 105 females) were 65 or older [mean age (67.9?2.9) years]. Rheumatic valvular disease presented in 201(79.8%) patients and non-rheumatic valvular disease in 51 (20.2%). 56.0% of patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ.63 (25%) patients had aortic valve replacement (AYR), 93 (36.9%) had mitral valve replacement (MVR), 42 (16.7%) had mitral valve repair (MVP), 47 (18.7%) had AVR + MVR/MVP, and 7 (2.8%) had isolated tricuspid repair or replacement.34 (13.5 % ) had concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) . Results Results The operative mortality was 9.1%, and the tendency of decline was observed in recent 3 years. As compared with the patients aged 16 to 64 years, the duration of mechanical ventilation, stay in ICU and in hospital postoperatively was longer [(30.6?42.8)h vs. (24.1?45.0) h,P = 0.02, (60.1?101.2) h vs. (43.0?70.6) h, P = 0.00, (25.7?41.3) days vs. (19.6?14.4) days,P=0.00]. In this group, the morbidity of postoperative complications was significant higher than that of the patients aged 16 to 64 years (10.6% vs.6.4% , P = 0.01). Preoperative NYHA function class was an important factor for postoperative mortality. Multivariate logistic regression showed that concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) , AVR+ MVR/MVP, and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, prolonged aortic cross-clamping time, postoperative acute renal failure demanding dialysis were significant independent predictors of operative mortality. Conclusion The mortality of cardiac valvular surgery in the elderly is acceptable. It is characterized by higher morbidity of postoperative complications and prolonged duration of stay in hospital. Concomitant CABG, AVR + MVR/MVP, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, prolonged aortic crossclamping time and postoperative acute renal failure were significant independent predictors of operative mortality.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social skills, language, and behavior. It is now clear that autism is not a disease, but a syndrome characterized by phenotypic and genetic complexity. The etiology of autism is still poorly understood. Available evidence from a variety of sources strongly suggests that many genetic disorders are frequently associated with autism for their similar phenotypes. Based on this fact, this review begins by highlighting several principal genetic syndromes consistently associated with autism (fragile X, tuberous sclerosis, Angelman syndrome, Pader-Willi syndrome, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome and Turner syndrome). These genetic disorders include both chromosome disorders and single gene disorders. By comparing the similar phenotype, protein marker and candidate genes, we might make some breakthrough in the mechanism of autism and other genetic disorders.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression changes of cytokines, inter-leukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and the wound time following explosive injury to rabbit’s chest. Methods The rabbit’s model of explosive injury was established. The expression levels of IL-6、 IL-8 and TNF-α in the plasma were detected by ELISA method at different wound time (0.5-12 h). Results The level of IL-6 increased at 3 h after wounding and reached peak at 6 h. The level of IL-8 increased at 1 h and reached peak at 6 h. The level of TNF-α increased at 0.5 h and reached peak at 3 h. Conclusion IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α have a time-related expression after explo-sive injury.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure (Helmet-CPAP)for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.Methods 120 adult patients in ICU from March 2014 to July 2015,who were after cardiac surgery,were enrolled.These patients who suffered hypoxemia within 48 hours after extubation,defined as that PaO2/FiO2 with oxygen mask could not reach 200,were divided into two groups.In the control group high concentration oxygen therapy with mask was delivered,while helmet-CPAP was delivered in the experimental group.Treatment duration was 6 hours.Results Helmet-CPAP significantly improved PaO2/FiO2 (144.35 ± 24.43 vs.201.35 ± 52.97,P ＜ 0.05) and left ventricular ejection fractions(0.5383 ± 0.0844 vs.0.5540 ± 0.0844,P ＜ 0.05).Breathing rate (22.60±5.08 vs.18.53 ±4.13,P＜0.05),heart rate(102.72±17.9 vs.95.15 ±13.79,P＜0.05)and shock index (0.85 ± 0.35 vs.0.75 ± 0.15,P ＜ 0.05) were significantly lower.The rate of using mechanical ventilation (6.67％ vs.28.33％,P ＜ 0.05) and length of ICU stay[41.0(25.0,67.5) hours vs.49.5 (32.5,90.8) hours,P ＜ 0.05] was significantly less than control group.Conclusion Helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure is an effective and safe treatment for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.

Objective To observe the effects of differentially expressed peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor γ (PPAR γ) on cell migration,invasion and proliferation of endometrial cancer cells.Methods Two endometrial cancer cell lines ECC-1 (ER positive) and KLE (ER negative) cells were used in this study.To up or down regulate PPARγ expression,the transient transfection by using PPARγ expression vector (PPARγ expression vector group) and PPARγ small interference RNA (PPARγ siRNA group) were done.The negative control groups were cells transfected by nonsence sequence siRNA (siRNA non sence sequence group) or empty vector (empty vector group).At the same time,cells only added with liposome were used as blank control group.Then,quantitative real time (RT)-PCR and western blot were used to detect PPARγexpression both in mRNA and protein levels.To assess the expression levels of Wnt signaling pathway,western blot was performed to analysis protein levels of β-catenin and C-myc.The effects on cell migration,invasion and proliferation using in vitro transwell migration,invasion assays and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were further be examined.Results After transfection for 48 hours,quantitative RT-PCR and western blot showed that PPARγmRNA (5.18 ± 0.99,4.54 ± 0.89) and protein (1.45 ± 0.12,1.30 ± 0.13) expression levels significantly increased and the protein levels of β-catenin (0.44 ± 0.06,0.46 ± 0.04) and C-myc (0.42 ± 0.08,0.30 ± 0.11) decreased in PPAR γ expression vector group,while in PPARγ siRNA group,PPARγ mRNA (0.48 ± 0.08,0.53 ± 0.11) and protein (0.41 ±0.04,0.49 ±0.05) expression levels decreased and the protein levels of 3-catenin (1.18 ±0.12,0.89 ±0.07) and C-myc(0.91 ±0.08,0.77 ±0.12) increased significantly compared with control groups (all P ＜ 0.05).In vitro migration and invasion assay indicated that the migratory and invasive cell numbers of PPARγ expression vector group (ECC-1:129 ± 9,63 ± 12 ; KLE:119 ± 9,68 ± 16) were significantly decreased,while the migratory and invasive cell numbers of were PPARγ siRNA group (ECC-1:201 ± 14,142 ±9 ; KLE:170 ± 11,138 ± 7) increased significantly compared with those in control groups(all P ＜ 0.05).CCK-8 assay showed that A values (0.66 ±0.14,0.78 ±0.06) in PPARγexpression vector group were lower than those in control groups,and in PPARγ siRNA group,A values (1.42 ± 0.16,1.23 ± 0.04) were higher than those in control groups,and there were statistically significant difference among them (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Up-regulated PPARγ gene expression could inhibit endometrial cancer cell migration,invasion and proliferation abilities,and down-regulated PPARγ gene expression could promote endometrial cancer cell migration,invasion and proliferation abilities.
