This study was aimed to observe the therapeutic effect and mechanism ofQi-Zhu Er-Zhu Er-Cao Tang(QZEZECT) in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) precancerous lesion. A total of 56 clean grade healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. In the negative control group (NC), model group,Wei-Fu-Chun(WFC) group,Ren-Zhu Jian-Wei Ke-Li(RZJWKL, RZ) group, there were 10 rats in each group. In the high-dose QZEZECT (QZ-H) group and low-dose QZEZECT (QZ-L) group, there were 8 rats in each group. CAG/PLGC model was established by MNNG in the model group, WFC group, RZ group, QZ-H group and QZ-L group. Intragastric administration of corresponding decoctions at the dose of 0.39 g·kg-1, 3.2 g·kg-1, 54.4 g·kg-1, 13.6 g·kg-1 were given to rats in the WFC, RZ, QZ-H and QZ-L groups once a day for 28 consecutive days, respectively. The same volume of normal saline was given to the NC group and the model group. Histomorphological changes of gastric mucous membrane in rats of each group were observed. Expressions of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE protein were detected. The results showed that compared with the NC group, the degrees of infiltration and dysplasia and expressions of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE significantly increased in the model group with statistical significance (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE in the WFC group reduced with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The expression of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE in the RZ and QZ-L group obviously reduced with statistical significance (P < 0.01). The overall effective rates of WFC group, RZ group, QZ-H group and QZ-L group were 50%, 63.3%, 43.3% and 73.3%, respectively. It was concluded that QZEZECT can treat CAG precancerous lesion, which may take effect by improving and inhibiting pathologic changes of the transcription factor of inflammation.

Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(11):1707-1711
Objective: To investigate the relationship between ADC value of normal fetal brain region obtained on ADC image generated with DWI of b value as 1000 s/mm2 and gestational age. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 106 pregnant women who underwent routine MR and DWI examinations due to suspected fetal abnormalities with prenatal ultrasonography was performed. Among them, 28 pregnant women were in the second trimester (13-27 weeks) and 78 pregnant women were in the third trimester (≥28 weeks). All fetuses were confirmed as normal neurodevelopment with prenatal routine MR and DWI examinations, as while as postnatal follow-up. DWI was performed with b value of 1000 s/mm2. ADC maps were generated based on DWI,and ADC values of frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe white matters, basal nucleus, thalamus, cerebellar hemisphere and pons were measured. The correlation between ADC values in different fetal brain regions and gestational age was analyzed using linear regression. Results: ADC values of different parts of normal fetal brain were in order from high to low: Parietal white matter ([1.84±0.08]mm2/s), occipital white matter ([1.82±0.08]mm2/s), frontal white matter ([1.77±0.03]mm2/s), temporal white matter ([1.70±0.13]mm2/s), cerebellar hemisphere ([1.41±0.10]mm2/s), basal ganglia ([1.40±0.13]mm2/s), thalamus ([1.35±0.04]mm2/s), pons ([1.27±0.08]mm2/s). Except for frontal white matter, ADC values of the rest of the normal fetal brain regions were negatively correlated with gestational age (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Most of ADC values in normal fetal brain different regions decreased with increasing gestational age, which can reflect the developmental process of fetal brain.

Objective:To investigate the effects of three herb extracts on cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured hu-man dermal fibroblasts. Methods:The human dermal fibroblasts were isolated and cultured with tissue explant culture technique. Im-munohistochemical staining was performed to observe vimentin in fibroblasts. The proliferation of fibroblasts was determined by MTT as-say. Hydroxyproline in the cultural medium was determined by a digestion method. Results:The cells were typical fibroblasts, and the immunohistochemistry staining of vimentin in the cells was positive. The three herb extracts could promote the proliferation of the fibro-blasts at appropriate concentrations in a time-dependent manner. After the 72-hour culture in the medium, 0. 312 5-5. 000 0 mg·ml-1 Aloe vera gel extract, 0. 156 3-2. 500 0 mg·ml-1 Bletilla striata extract and 0. 075 0 mg·ml-1 salvianolate showed significant effects on the proliferation of fibroblasts (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 vs the blank group). Compared with that in the blank group, the amount of hydroxyproline in the three herb extracts cultural medium was also increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The effect of salvianolate on the cell proliferation was closely related with time and concentration, and the high concentration group could inhibit the growth of fibroblasts as the extension of time. Conclusion:Aloe vera gel extract, bletilla striata extract and salvianolate can promote the proliferation of fi-broblasts and the production of hydroxyproline, which may contribute to the wound healing.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibitory effect of Baixuan xiatare tablet on the model mouse with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). METHODS:60 BALB/c mice were equally randomized into normal control (isometric solvent) group,model (isometric solvent)group,ebastine(positive control,0.003 g/kg)group and the groups of high,middle and low doses of Baixuan xiatare tablet(2.0,1.0 and 0.5 g/kg). The mice were given drugs,ig,once daily for 14 consecutive days. 0.5% 2,4-dinitrofluoro-benzene(DNFB)acetone olive oil solution was applied,for sensitization,on the prepared mouse’s skins one and two days before administration,and 0.2% DNFB acetone olive oil solution on their left ears 16 days thereafter to establish mouse models of ACD. At 48 h after successful establishment of the models,the thickness of the mouse’s left ear margin was measured and the difference value and swelling degree were calculated;flow cytometer was used to determine the levels of T lymphocyte subsets CD4+ and CD8+ in mouse blood and calculate the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+;the levels of interleukin 4(IL-4)and IL-6 in mouse serum were de-termined. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,those in the model group had higher difference value of ear margin and swelling degree,lower level of CD4+ in blood and ratio of CD4+ to CD8+,and higher content of IL-6 in serum. There was statisti-cally difference (P<0.01). Compared with model group,those in the groups of high,middle and low doses of Baixuan xiatare tablet had lower degree of left ear swelling and higher level of CD4+ in blood;those in the groups of high and middle doses thereof had lower difference value of left ear margin and level of IL-6 in serum;and those in the group of high dose thereof had higher lev-el of CD8+ in blood. There was statistically significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Baixuan xiatare tablet has inhibi-tory effect to some degree on the mouse model with ACD by a mechanism which may be related to the balance of subsets CD4+and CD8+in blood and the reduction of IL-6 in serum.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognosis of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and drug combined with endoscopic treatment in patients with liver cirrhosis and esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB).Methods:From January 2012 to December 2013, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, the data of 147 patients with liver cirrhosis and EGVB undergoing TIPS or drug combined with endoscopic treatment were retrospectively collected, with 87 cases in TIPS treatment group and 60 in drug combined with endoscopic treatment group.The 5 years follow-up data were analyzed, and the overall survival rates, rebleeding-free survival rates and hepatic encephalopathy-free survival rates at 6 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 5 years after treatment of two groups were compared. Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, Fisher exact test, Z test, log-rank test and trend test were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, etiology, Child-Pugh classification, initial liver function, coagulation function, liver ascites, previous history of hepatic encephalopathy, blood pressure and preoperative blood transfusion history between the TIPS treatment group and combination of drugs and endoscopy treatment group (all P>0.05). Forty-one patients died within 5 years, of which 20 (48.8%) died of rebleeding and 6 (14.6%) died of hepatic encephalopathy. There were no significant differences in 6-week, 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates between the TIPS group and drug combined with endoscopic treatment group (all P>0.05), however the 5-year overall survival rate of the TIPS treatment group was higher than that of the drug combined with endoscopic treatment group (78.4% vs. 63.2%), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.06, P=0.048). The 6-week, 1-year, 2-year, 5-year rebleeding-free survival rates of the TIPS group were 97.7%, 96.5%, 88.9% and 70.9%, respectively, which were all higher than those of the drug combined with endoscopic treatment group (86.7%, 53.3%, 43.3% and 27.1%), and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=2.35, 6.39, 6.26 and 4.80, all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hepatic encephalopathy-free survival rates at 6 weeks, 1 year and 2 years after treatment between the TIPS group and drug combined with endoscopic treatment group (all P>0.05), however the 5-year hepatic encephalopathy-free survival rate of the TIPS treatment group was lower than that of the drug combined with endoscopic treatment group (67.7% vs. 86.7%), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=2.28, P=0.030). The lower the Child-Pugh classification, the higher the cumulative 5-year survival rate ( χ2=6.75, P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rate in patients with the same Child-Pugh classification between the TIPS group and the drug combined with endoscopic treatment group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of TIPS is better than that of the drug combined with endoscopic treatment in treating EGVB. Even the long-term risk of hepatic encephalopathy of TIPS is higher, the short-term, middle-term and long-term rebleeding rate are decreased. Patients with Child-Pugh grade C do not need to avoid TIPS when choosing the treatment, the earlier the TIPS used, the better survival benefit will be obtained.
