Objective To explore the clinical effect and application value of early acupressure combined with hot belly(hot compress on abdomen)to promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function after abdominal surgery. Methods A prospective random controlled study was conducted from January 2012 to October 2012,200 hospitalized patients having undergone abdominal surgery were randomly divided into a control group(100 cases)and an observation group(100 cases). Traditional nursing method was applied to take care of the abdominal postoperative patients in the control group,that was at post-operative 6 hours the patient may begin to turn over in bed,once 2 hours,and on the post-operative 1 day,according to the patient's disease situation,he or she may be allowed to ambulate in the room without any other additional measures,waiting for the recovery of gastrointestinal function. In the observation group, beside the traditional nursing method used in the control group,additionally,acupressure and abdominal fomentation was applied twice a day for 4 days. The postoperative bowel sound recovery time,the anus spontaneous exhaust time, the incidences of abdominal distension and intestinal obstruction were observed. Results In the observation group, the gurgling sound recovery time and anus spontaneous exhaust time were significantly shorter than those in the control group〔gurgling sound recovery time(hour):17.77±2.67 vs. 18.87±3.18,anus spontaneous exhaust time(hour):28.27±6.30 vs. 30.85±6.74,both P<0.01〕;the incidences of postoperative abdominal distention and intestinal obstruction were obviously lower than those in the control group(bloating:9.0%vs. 23.0%,intestinal obstruction:1.0% vs. 9.0%,both P<0.01). Conclusion Early application of acupressure combined with hot belly for abdominal postoperative patients can significantly promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function,that is beneficial to the reduction of the incidences of complications.

Well-differentiated primary human airway epithelial cell culture (HAE), an organotypic human airway culture system, has been increasingly used as a linkage between researches conducted on animal models and humans.In this review, we focus on progress in technological development and its application in virology.The following aspects are covered in this review: (1)Structure and function of the normal airway, (2)Role of respiratory epithelial cells in pulmonary innate immunity, (3)Development of primary human airway epithelial cell cultures, (4)Application of primary human airway epithelial cell cultures in virology.

The energy metabolism of septic patients is serious disorder.The major manifestation is protein degradation,the enhancement of glyconeogenesis and the adipose lipid mobilization.This may be link to abnormal ways of inflammatory media,the hormone secretion and ubiquitin-proteasome caused by sepsis.The discussion on high metabolic mechanism of sepsis,has great significance for guiding clinical practice,promoting targeted interventions and treatment measures and improving the prognosis of patients.This article summarized the progress on hyper metabolism in sepsis.

D-D4FC (?-D-2′,3′-didehydro-2′,3′-dideoxy-5-fluorocytidine),a new anti-HIV drug,is on its PhaseⅡ clinical trials in America,France and Germany. Our lab has synthesized D-D4FC successfully using N-deoxyribosyltransferase from Lactobacillus helveticto catalyzing the ribose transfer from D4T (?-D-2′,3′-unsaturated thymidine) to 5-FC (5-fluorocytidine).The yield of D-D4FC reached 25%.We discovered the reaction could also be done by using intact cells.The yield could increase to 50% in 12.5 hours and more convenient to industrial continuous process.In this paper,the conditions including pH,buffer,substrates concentration,cells amount,reaction time and a possible catalytic mechanism were studied and discussed.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) among residents in Shuimogou district of Urumqi city and to compare the differences between the Uygur and Han Populations. Methods Adopting cluster sampling, a survey of diabetes mellitus was conducted in Shuimogou district in June, 2008. Data of total 2420 subjects aged over 18 years with complete data, including background information of each individual, blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose and so on, were analyzed in this study. The criterion of the China Diabetes society (CDS) in 2004 was applied for diagnosis. Results The crude prevalence rates of MS were 12.85% in total, 14.91% in male and 7.39% in female, respectively. The age-standardized prevalence rates of MS were 9.93% in total, 13.58% in male and 6.11% in female. The prevalence rates of MS in male was higher than that in female (P0.05). The prevalence rates of components of MS were 43.31% for obesity, 30.08% for hypertension, 25.79% for hypertriglyceridemia and 16.28 % for hyperglycosemia. Among the four factors above, there were about 65% subjects who had at lest one abnormal factor according to the CDS criterion. Conclusion There were no differences in the prevalence rates of MS between the Uygur and Han populations. However, the prevalence rate of MS in male was higher than that in female. More than half subjects had at least one abnormal metabolic factor.

Objective To investigate the expression of Gadd45beta protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and its clinicopathologic significance.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of Gadd45beta in both hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and adjacent non-neoplastic liver tissues form 50 cases.Results The positive rates of Gadd45beta expression in the hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and adjacent non-neoplastic liver tissues were 26.0%(13/50) and 82.0%(41/50) respectively.There were significant difference for the positive rate between the two groups(P0.05).Conclusion Low expression of Gadd45beta protein in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues was exhibited,which may be related to hepatocarcinogenesis as well as biological behaviors and prognosis of HCC.

Objective To explore the association of activated blood platelet and large vacular disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 98 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were divided into two groups(50 cases with large vascular disease and 48 cases,as DM group)and 50 cases healthy subjects served as a control group.From 2002-05 to 2004-11,the doctors of the Department of Endocrinology,Subei Hospital to determined the expression of platelet activation PAC-1、CD62P in large vascular disease by technique of flow cytometry(FCM),and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA_1c)、C-reactive protein(CRP)、fasting plasama glucose(FBG)、C-peptide(C-P)and blood lipids were measured and analysed for the correlation.Results Activated blood platelet was significantly increased in DM group as compared with that in control group(P
