Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and short-term efficacy of endoscopic implantation of 5-FU Slow-release Particles for advanced gastroenteric tumor. Methods During the endoscopy procedure,slow-releasing 5-FU agents were implanted densely into the tumors and infiltrated area. Forty-five to sixty pieces of agents ( each piece equivalent to 1.67 mg 5-FU)were injected, which containing an average dose of 100 mg 5-FU. Results A total of 13 advanced gastric cancer patients were enrolled into this study. Significant effects were observed in 3 patients and good effects in 8 patients, but 2 cases with no effects. The total effective rate was 84.62%. The endoscopy examination showed that the size of tumors reduced in various degree at 1 - 2months after the implantation. No hemorrhage or perforation was observed. Parameters of hepatorenal function and routine blood test were stable after implantation. Conclusion Endoscopic implantation of 5-FU Slow-release Particles can relieve the symptoms of patients and limit tumor growth in advanced gastroenteric tumor with no marrow and hepatorenal functional impair.

OBJECTIVETo screen the lentiviral vector carrying siRNA and capable of significantly suppressing the ROCK2 gene expression in the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

METHODSWe designed and synthesized 4 siRNA fragments targeting the ROCK2 gene and packaged them into lentiviral vectors. We collected corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cell samples from 5 male SHRs and randomly divided them into groups A (non-transfection control), B (GFP lentiviral transfection), C, D, E, and F (lentiviral transfection with siRNA fragments 1 -4 targeting the ROCK2 gene). Each group consisted of 5 samples and each sample 3 x 10(4) cells. At 48 hours after transfecting MOI = 80 into the SHR corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells, we detected the expression of GFP under the fluorescent microscope and the mRNA expression of the ROCK2 gene by RT-PCR.

RESULTSThe transfection efficiency of the SHR corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells was > 50%. Compared with group A, the expression of ROCK2 mRNA in the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells showed no remarkable change in group B (P > 0.05) but was inhibited very significantly in C ([43.91 +/- 8.19]%), D ([47.15 +/- 6.64]%), and F ([25.7 +/- 6.03]%) (P < 0.01), and significantly in E ([16.81 +/- 5.94]%, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONWe successfully constructed 4 lentiviral vectors carrying siRNA targeting the ROCK2 gene, all of which can significantly suppress the ROCK2 expression in the SHR corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells, and one has a highly strong inhibitory effect.

Objective To observe and analyze the effect of B. Adolescentis and L. Acidophilus on the proportion of Th cell Th1/Th2 in peripheral blood of UC-mice in acute stage and recovery stage. Method 40 BABL/c mice were induced by 3% DSS water for 7 clays free drinking and then with distilled water for 10 days. They were randomly allocated in 4 groups: NS group, SASP group, BF0624 group and LT0637 group, also the fifth group-10 normal animals. The blood of mice were collected by removing their eyes at day 8 and day 18, and then the mononuclear cells were iso]atecl. The proportion of Th1/Th2 was analyze through flow eytometry,hy labeling the specific antibody ot Th cellular membrane with the CD4 antibody, and the cytoplastie antigen of Thl or Th2 with IIA antibody or IF'N-γ antibody. Result The proportion of Th1/Th2 in normal mouse was 0. 84 -0. 94,and it raised up in DSS-mice at both acute stage and recovery stage. It decreased unequally after 7 or 17 days'B, adoleseentis, L. Acidophilus and SASP treatment, but that of all three groups were lower than NS group (2.21±0. 83). Even the proportion got close to the normal animals after 17 days'L. Acidophilus -treated. Conclusion The proportion of Thl/Th2 increased at the acute stage and recovery stage of DSS-mice. Both B. Adoleseentis and L. Acidophilus had more effective than SASP on decreasing the proportion of Th1/Th2 at two stages,ospecially L. Acidophilus.

Objective To transplant the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UCMSCs) derived from human umbilical cord into cisterna magna of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) rat model,and to observe their survival,proliferation and differentiation in the rat brain.Methods UCMSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord of babies delivered after full-term normal cesarean section,and labeled by bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU).Pregnant rats were randomly divided into experimental group(n=6) and control group(n=1).HIE models were built by ligating both sides of the uterine arteries of full-pregnant rats(21 days) in experimental group rats for 15 minutes.The neonatal rats in experimental group were divided into stem cells group(n=24) and PBS group(n=19) at random.The labeled UCMSCs were injected into cisterna magna of the rats in stem cells group,while PBS was injected into the rats of PBS group.In 1,2,3 and 4 weeks after transplantation,the brain tissue section slides were immunohistochemically stained with antibodies against BrdU,Nestin,neuron specific enolase(NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),and thionin.Control group with normal delivery was tested as concurrent control.Results At 1 week after transplantation,BrdU,Nestin,NSE and GFAP positive cells were found in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of the rats in stem cells group rats.The number of BrdU-positive and Nestin-positive cells increased(Pa0.05).The NSE-positive and GFAP-positive cells gradually increased from 1-4 weeks post transplantation and comparisons between groups had statistical significance(Pa

Objective To observe the distribution of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) and the effects on expression of apoptosis relative proteins Caspase 3 and Bcl-2 after intravenous transplanted into ischemic rat brains.Methods MSCs from SD rats were cultivated and proliferated in vitro and marked with CFSE.MSCs were then intravenously transplanted into middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)models of SD rats.The rats were killed at different time points to observe the distribution of MSCs under fluorescence microscoDe as well as the effects on expression of apoptosis relative proteins Caspase 3 and Bcl-2 using immunohistochemical method.Results Density of Caspase 3 in immunohistochemically positive area in transplantion group were(2.81±0.35)%,(3.98±0.67)%,(5.58±0.92)%,(3.51±0.63)%,(1.64±0.29)%in 6,12,24,72 hours and in 7 days,respectively,and decreased significantly compared with those of control group[(3.92±0.44)%,(5.23±0.30)%,(6.89±0.57)%,(4.39±0.57)%,(2.29±0.21)%],the difference being significant(t=4.37,3.34,2.60,2.32,3.90,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).The density of Bcl-2 in immunohistochemically positive area in transplantation group were(4.70±0.16)%,(5.61±0.26)%,(3.00±0.28)%respectively in 6,12 hours and in 7 days,which had improved significantly compared with those of control group[(3.28±0.27)%,(4.54±0.59)%,(2.15±0.62)%],the difference being significant(t=8.32,3.25,2.54,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Conclusions Bone marrow MSCs can exert protective effects on brain ischemia and reperfusion injury possibly by down-regulating Caspase 3 and up-regulating Bcl-2.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of early enteral nutrition by gastroscopeguided naso-jejunal feeding tube placement on the intestinal endotoxemia of patient with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Fourty-three patients were randomized into two groups:patients receiving early enteral nutrition (EN) by gastroscope-guided naso-jejunal feeding tube placement (24 cases) and those receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) ( 19 cases).The serum endotoxin(ET),albumin (ALB) and amylase (AMY) levels were measured.Abdominal distension and other complications were observed in the two groups.Results The abdominal pain and distension relief time,intestinal bleeding,infectious complications of EN group were significantly improved compared with that of TPN group ( P ＜ 0.01 或 P ＜ 0.05 或 P ＜ 0.001 ).The serum ET levels of EN group was much lower ( [ 0.19 ± 0.11 ] EU/ml) than that of TPN group ( [ 0.85 ± 0.28 ] EU/ml)on day 14 post-treatment (t =10.456,P ＜ 0.001 ).The serum AMY levels were decreased significantly in two groups after treatment,and the difference between two groups was not significant (t =3.l17,t =1.889,P ＞0.05 ).The serum ALB recovery of two groups was not significantly different ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Gastroscope-guided Naso-jejunal feeding tube placement for early enteral nutrition can protect intestinal mucosa,reduce complications,alleviate symptoms of patients with SAP,which are benefitial factors for the treatment of intestinal endotoxemia in patients with SAP.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effect of one-way barbs line (absorbable sutures v - locTM180) in primary suturing of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy. Methods From July 2014 to June 2015, clinical data of 86 cases performed primary suturing in laparoscopic choledocholithotomy by the same performer were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups, One-way barbs line continuous full-thickness suture group (A group), ordinary absorption line continuous full-thickness suture group (B group) and ordinary absorption line discontinuous full-thickness suture group (C group). The bile duct suture needed time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative bile fistula were compared. Results All the 86 cases underwent successful operation without T tube, and none of them received alternative open operation. Compared with group B and C, time needed for bile duct suturing in A group have statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, postoperative hospital stay between the three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative bile fistula in A group were none. The incidence of postoperative bile fistula in B group was 1 case, the incidence of postoperative bile fistula in C group was 2 cases.Conclusions The method of one-way barbs line continuous full-thickness suture were simple and secure in primary suturing of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of basal and early phase insulin secretion on plasma glucose level in type 2 diabetes. Methods Plasma glucose and true insulin levels were measured at 0, 30, 60, 120 min during standard meal test in 81 patients with type 2 diabetes. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and insulin secretion index (?I 30 /?G 30 ) were calculated for evaluating the insulin sensitivity. Contributions of basal and early insulin secretion to plasma glucose level were evaluated by multivariate regression analysis with SAS software. Results ISI and ?I 30 /?G 30 showed nearly equal effects on plasma glucose levels by multivariate regression analysis. Among insulin levels of different time points during standard meal test, basal and postprandial 60 min insulin levels played important roles in changes of plasma glucose levels. The effect of fasting insulin on the area under plasma glucose curve was stronger than that of ?I 30 /?G 30 . Conclusion Both basal and early insulin secretions greatly contribute to glycemic control.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate clinical results of early total care (ETC) treatment for elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures.

METHODSClinical data of 106 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated from January 2012 and February 2015 were retrospectively studied. According to whether receiving the early total care mode, the patients were divided into 2 groups, 34 cases were diagnosed and treated with early total care pattern (ETC group), including 14 males and 20 females with an average age of (74.88 ± 4.38) years old ranging from 70 to 86. According to Evans types, 4 cases were type I, 5 cases were type II, 13 cases were type III, 11 cases were type IV, 1 case was type V. Seventy-two patients were treated with conventional trauma method (conventional group), including 35 males and 37 females with an average age of (74.46 ± 3.63) years old ranging from 70 to 85. According to Evans type, 8 cases were type I ,13 cases were type II, 25 cases were type III, 25 cases were type IV, and 1 case was type V. All fractures were treated with proximal femoral nails anti-rotation (PFNA). Operative time, hospital stays, leaving bed time, complications, cases of death at 1 year after operation, postoperative Harris score at 12 months were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up, the time of ETC group ranged from 9 to 18 months with an average of 13.29 ± 1.51, and the time in conventional group ranged from 12 to 16 months with an average 12.93 ± 1.15, while there was no significant difference between two groups in time of following-up (t = 1.368, P = 0.174). There was no significant meaning in cases of death between ETC group (2 cases) and conventional group (8 cases). Three cases occurred complications in ETC group, and 20 cases in conventional group,there was obvious meaning between two groups (χ² = 0.739, P = 0.318). Operative time,hospital stays,leaving bed time in ETC group respectively was (2.03 ± 0.67) d, (15.41 ± 2.87) d and (3.62 ± 0.74) d; while in conventional group respectively was (4.17 ± 1.59) d, (20.11 ± 4.24) d and (5.35 ± 1.22) d; there were significant differences between two groups in operative time, hospital stays, leaving bed time. Postoperative Harris scores at 12 months in ETC group was (82.32 ± 4.56), and (79.24 ± 5.52) in conventional group, there was obvious meaning between two groups (t = 2.833, P = 0.006).

CONCLUSIONETC pattern is a novel method for diagnosis and treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly, it could shorten operative time, hospital stays, leaving bed time, decrease complications and promote recovery of function.
