Objective:To investigate the expression of a new cytokine,thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and its receptor TSLPR in the villi of human first trimester gestation.Methods:Villi were collected from women who had undergone an artificial abortion at 7-11 weeks of normal gestation.The trophoblast cells (Tros) were isolated and cultured.The total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent,from both villi and the Percoll-gradient-isolated Tros,then the DNA fragments of hTSLP and hTSLPR were amplificated by RT-PCR.Villous tissues were detected for TSLP by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot.Immunocytochemistry (ICC) was carried out on cultured trophoblast cells for TSLP/TSLPR expression.Levels of TSLP in the supernatants were detected by ELISA.Results:Normal villi and the cultured Tros transcript were found to express TSLP/TSLPR mRNA and secreted TSLP protein.In addition,TSLP receptor was also expressed on trophoblasts.Conclusion:Both TSLP and its receptor are expressed on villi and trophoblast cells,which suggests that TSLP plays an important role in maternal-fetal immuno-tolerance in human early pregnancy.

Aim The pharmacodynamics and mechanism of Kadsura heteroclita on the Alzheimers disease (AD) model mice were studied. Methods The Kunming mice were treated with D-galactose and AlCl 3(90 d)to make the AD animal model. The therapy groups were treated with HS 2 (po, 40 d) respectively since d51. The Morris water-maze test, the expressions of PS1, BACE, as well as the pathological observation of the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were carried out to evaluate the effect of HS 2 on the AD model mice. Resluts By oral administration with HS 2, the capacity of learning and memory of the AD model mice was improved. HS 2 can downregulate the expression of PS1, BACE and decrease the amount of senile plaque in their brains. Conclusion HS 2 can meliorate AD model mice's learning and memory deficiency as well as decrease the mRNA content of PS1, BACE and senile plaque in their brains.

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of TanshinoneⅡA on U251 glioma cell line and its mechanism. METHODS: MTT was used to measure the levels of the proliferation in U251 cultured with TanshinoneⅡA at different concentrations. The effects of TanshinoneⅡA on cell cycle of U251 were observed by FCM. The expression of proto-oncogene c-myc was measured by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The proliferation of U251 was obviously inhibited by TanshinoneⅡA in a dose dependent manner. The inhibitory rate came to the peak at (54 2?0 9)%, when cultured with TanshinoneⅡA at 0 10 g/L. The outcome of FCM showed that the proportion of G 0/G 1 phase cells was increased and the proportion of S phase cells was reduced obviously, when cultured with TanshinoneⅡA at 0 10 g/L for 3 days. The RT-PCR experiment showed that the expression of proto-oncogene c-myc was notably decreased, when the dose of TanshinoneⅡA was increased. CONCLUSION: TanshinoneⅡA inhibited the proliferation of U251 and the expression of proto-oncogene c-myc.

Objective To investigate the effect of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging guidance in the treatment of acute cere?bral infarction. Methods Patients (n=200) with acute cerebral infarction who visited our clinic within 6 hours underwent CTP examination and were divided into two groups:penumbra group and non-penumbra group according to their CTP imag?ing (presence of penumbra or not). Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt- PA) was administrated for intravenous thrombolysis in both groups. NIHSS (The NIH Stroke Scale), BI (Barthel Index), mRS (modified Rankin Scores) and hemor?rhagic transformation events of two groups were determined before and after thrombolysis to evaluate its effect and prognosis in these two group. Results Compared with non penumbra group, NIHSS was reduced in penumbra group from 7 days after rt-PA (6.67±3.46 vs 4.76±2.04), and this decrease became obvious at 4 weeks after rt-PA (6.67±3.46 vs 3.68±1.93). Effi?ciency rate at 4 week (60.3%) and good prognosis rate at 3 months(71.7%)were both significantly improved in penumbra group than those in non penumbra group(34.7%,56.8%). Conclusion rt-PA under CTP guidance is effective and safe in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. The thrombolytic therapy window can be enlarged according to the presence of pen?umbra or not and the bleeding conversion rate remains at low level.

Objective:
To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the biopsy of patients with breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) score of 4 lesions.
Methods:
Total of 136 cases of breast BI-RADS scores of 4 lesions admitted to Dongguan People′s Hospital from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled and randomly divided into contrast-enhanced ultrasound group and general ultrasound group, 68 cases in both group. The contrast-enhanced ultrasound group received contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided breast nodule biopsy, and the general ultrasound group received general ultrasound-guided breast nodule biopsy. The success rate of puncture, the number of puncture needles, the satisfaction rate of the materials, the diagnostic sensitivity, the diagnostic specificity, the diagnostic coincidence rate, and the incidence of adverse puncture reactions were compared between two groups.

Objective:To explore the effect of grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory in lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter.Methods:From March 2020 to December 2021, a total of 90 lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter in the Second People's Hospital of Datong were selected as the research objects using the convenient sampling method, and were divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method, with 45 cases each. The control group adopted routine grasping force circle training, and the observation group conducted grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory. The scores of knowledge, attitude and practice, self-management ability and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the scores of knowledge, attitude and behavior of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of compliance of catheter maintenance, abnormal handling, confidence of catheter management, exercise of catheter, daily observation of catheter, information acquisition and daily life of catheter of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence of complications of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Grasping force circle training based on knowledge, attitude and practice theory can improve the knowledge, attitude and practice level of lung cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter, improve their self-management ability, and reduce the incidence of complications.
