With the advent of continuous development of radiofrequency ablation(RFA), this technique has been increasingly used in the treatment of renal cell carcinomas during recent years, with a significant therapeutic effect clinically. RFA is characteristic with the advantages of safety, convenience, minimal invasion, less complications and suffering. The improvement of the electrode needle, the radiofrequency techniques and the combination of other treatments are the key of the development of RFA in the near future. And more reasonable criteria for evaluating the therapeutic effects including imaging techniques are also needed to be set up.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance change of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine to provide a reference for the prevention and control of hospital infections.Methods Various submitted specimens from the inpatients in our hospital from Jan.2012 to Dec.2014 were performed the isolation and culture,bacterial identification and drug susceptibility analysis.Results In these 3 years,the detection rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa positive strains was gradually increased year by year;the detection rate of sputum specimens was highest;which were mainly isolated from the patients in the respirtion department and cardiology department;the drug resistance rate of non-restricted,restricted and special antibacterial drugs showed an overall downward trend.Conclusion The sseudomonas aeruginosa isolated rate is increased year by year,the antimicrobial drugs classification management achieves initial results,and the overuse or unreasonable use of antibacterial drugs should be prevented.

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at Lower He-Sea points on the expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the serum and gallbladder tissues, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in gallbladder tissues of the guinea pigs with acute cholecystitis (AC), and to explore whether Yanglingquan (GB 34), the Lower He-Sea point pertaining to Dan Fu (gallbladder), is relatively specific for the Dan Fu (gallbladder) disorders. Methods: Eighty-two healthy guinea pigs were randomly divided into 6 groups according to the random number table method, a blank group, a model group, a Yanglingquan (GB 34) group, a Zusanli (ST 36) group, a Shangjuxu (ST 37) group, and a Xiajuxu (ST 39) group, with 12 guinea pigs in the blank group while 14 in the other groups, respectively, half males and half females in each group. Except for the blank group, guinea pigs in the other groups were injected with E. coli into the gallbladder to establish AC models. Guinea pigs in the blank group were fed routinely without special treatment; those in the model group were daily tied up for 30 min without EA treatment; those in the 4 groups receiving EA treatment were acupunctured at the corresponding Lower He-Sea points after daily binding and stimulated with the SDZ-V EA instrument. After successful modeling and treatment for 5 d, blood was collected from the abdominal aorta of the guinea pigs, and the gallbladder tissues in each group were isolated for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to observe the morphological changes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum IL-1β level, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression levels of NF-κB and IL-1β in gallbladder. Results: On the 3rd day after modeling, the guinea pigs in the five groups with modeling were mentally depressed with decreased appetite, significantly reduced activities, slouch, lassitude, slack and matted fur, and loose stools; two guinea pigs were selected from each group (one male and one female, not included in the final statistics) to isolate the gallbladder after sacrifice; macroscopic observation showed that the gallbladder wall was differently thickened; the bile color was dark green and opaque with particles suspended or accumulated; light microscope observation showed that the submucosal blood vessels of the gallbladder were congested, along with mucosal edema, ulceration, necrosis, shedding, and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrating in the lamina propria, indicating that the AC model was successfully prepared. Compared with the model group, the gallbladder tissue injuries of the four groups receiving EA treatment were all differently repaired, the serum IL-1β levels were reduced (P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the IL-1β levels in the gallbladder tissues were reduced (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the NF-κB expression level in the Yanglingquan (GB 34) group was significantly reduced (P<0.01), but was not statistical different in the Zusanli (ST 36) group, Shangjuxu (ST 37) group and Xiajuxu (ST 39) group (all P>0.05). Compared with the Yanglingquan (GB 34) group, the gallbladder tissues of the Zusanli (ST 36) group, Shangjuxu (ST 37) group and Xiajuxu (ST 39) group were more severely damaged, and the expression levels of serum IL-1β, the NF-κB and IL-1β in the gallbladder tissues were increased (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Intervention effect of Yanglingquan (GB 34) on AC guinea pigs was superior to that of Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37) and Xiajuxu (ST 39). Conclusion: EA at the Lower He-Sea points of the stomach, large intestine, small intestine and gallbladder can produce curative effects on AC guinea pigs and reduced the inflammatory symptoms. Intervention effect of Yanglingquan (GB 34) on AC guinea pigs is superior to that of Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37) and Xiajuxu (ST 39). The mechanism of EA at Yanglingquan (GB 34) in treating AC may be regulating IL-1β and NF-κB to control the inflammatory response and improve the gallbladder tissue damage.

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of stachyose on the hyperacute rejection in pig-to-human heart xenotransplantation.Methods A pig-to-human xenogeneic heart transplantation model was established based on an in vitro free heart blood perfusion system.The pig hearts were di- vided into two groups:group A(pig hearts treated with human blood perfusion as control)and group B(pig hearts treated with human blood plus stachyose perfusion).After perfusion for 1h,the heart xenografts were examined for deposit of lgG and IgM by immunohistochemistry and pathological analy sis.Results The mean survival time of perfusion hearts in groups A and B was(9.5?2.5)min and (46.8?8.1)min respectively(P

Objective To estimate the effects ot rosiglitazone on cultured HaCaT human keratinocytes and their possible mechanism.Methods HaCaT cells were cultured and treated with different concentrations ( 10,20,40,80 μ mol/L) of rosiglitazone or solvent for 24,48,72 and 96 hours,respectively.Cell proliferation was detected with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Western blot was performed to measure the protein expression of β-catenin and cyclin D1.Results Compared with the solvent-treated cells,the proliferation of HaCaT cells was significantly inhibited by 18.9％,23.7％,35.1％ and 44.6％ (all P＜ 0.05) after treatment with rosiglitazone of 10,20,40 and 80 μmol/L,respectively,for 48 hours.The expressions of β-catenin and cyclin D 1 were significantly lower in rosiglitazone-treated HaCaT cells than in solvent-treated cells (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Rosiglitazone could inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cells,likely by downregulating the expressions of β-catenin and cyclin D 1.
