Objective To assess the effect of opiod pretreatment on etomidate induced myoclonus. Methods The pertinent literatures were searched by two independent investigators from the following electronic databases:PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMbase,VIP,WanFang Data,and CHKD. Then the meta?analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 and STATA 12.0 software. Results A total of 24 RCTs involving 2 396 pa?tients were included for the study. Pretreatment ofμorκ?receptor agonists reduced myoclonus with RR=0.19(95%CI 0.14 to 0.27)and RR=0.22 (95%CI 0.12 to 0.40),respectively. Conclusion Pretreatment of opiods can reduce the incidence of etomidate induced myoclonus.

Objective:To study the mechanism of anti-proliferative effect of lupeol on highly metastatic human hepatocellular car-cinoma HCCLM3 cells. Methods:CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate the effects of lupeol at different concentration on cell viability in 12-48 h. Caspase inhibitors were used to identify the subtypes of caspases activated during lupeol-induced cell death. The effects of lupeol on the mRNA expression of caspase family and Bcl-2 related genes were detected by real-time PCR. The effects of lupeol on HC-CLM3 cell phase distribution were investigated by flow cytometry. Results:Compared with the control group, lupeol could inhibit HC-CLM3 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 of 93 μmol·L-1 in 24h. The number of HCCLM3 cells in the period of G2/M was increased by 1-fold when the lupeol concentration was within 60-100 μmol·L-1 . Lupeol could activate the path-way of caspase, and the mRNA expression of caspase-3 was elevated by 50%-150% when compared with that in the control group. Mo-reover, the mRNA expression of p53 and Bax were increased above 1-fold by lupeol at 100 μmol·L-1 , and the Bcl-2 and PARP ex-pression were significantly suppressed by lupeol at 60-100 μmol·L-1(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:The results indicate that lupeol has anti-proliferative effect on the liver cancer cells, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of liver cancer.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic time window and the dose response effects of epirubicin on the expression of c-FLIP in breast cancer.Methods MCF-7and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were divided into two groups: epirubicin groups were treated with 4.0,2.0,1.0,0.5 and 0.25mg/L of epirubicin,and control groups were treated with 0.9% sodium chloride solution at the same dose.After treatment for 24,48 and 72 h,the incubated cells were collected for the measurement of c-FLIP by RT-PCR,and for examination of percent of apoptosis cells with flow cytometry.ResultsA dose-time-dependent pattern was observed.The expression of c-FLIP in MCF-7and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines declined gradually as the epirubicin concentration increased and treatment time was prolonged.Percentage of apoptosis breast cancer cells increased gradually as the epirubicin concentration was increased and treatment time was prolonged,and percentage of apoptosis cells was the highest when breast cancer cells were treated with 2 mg/L epirubicin for 72 h.ConclusionsEpirubicin can promote apoptosis of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of c-FLIP,and its inhibitory effect is most pronounced when breast cancer cells are treated with 2 mg/L epirubicin for 72 h.

Objective To observe the characteristics of chromatin conformation in hypothalamus and pituitary gland of rats with different ages (16 17 weeks and 100 105 weeks of age). Methods Micrococcal nuclease (MCN) and deoxyribonuclease I ( DNase I) were used as the probe to differentiate chromatin conformation and agarose gel electrophoresis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) were employed to investigate the changes of chromatin conformation in rats with different ages. Results Chromatin DNA of hypothalamus and pituitary gland in old rats existed a repeat length (nucleosome core and linker region) of (190?7)bp and (171?8)bp, and in young rats (193?9)bp and (170?5)bp respectively. PAGE showed that DNase I cleaved nucleosome DNA at 10 bp intervals and the cleavage patterns were the same in all ages of rats; comparison of DNA fragments digested by DNase I in young and old rats showed that less fragments with lower base pair were produced in old rats. Conclusions (1) No aging related changes were observed with the repeat length of chromatin nucleosome DNA in hypothalamus and pituitory gland, but there was difference depending on tissues. (2) The chromatin DNA mainly existed in B type of duplex conformation and contained similar super helical structure of solenoid in hypothalamus. (3) Further experiments showed that the chromatin DNA in hypothalamus and pituitary gland from elderly rats was more resistent to DNase I digestion.

Thirty-six healthy women were divided into 3 groups according to their calcium intake at week 18 of gestation. The levels of their blood calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin were assayed during pregnancy and postpartum, and bone mineral density ( BMD) was measured postpartum. The levels of PHI and calcitonin were increasing with advancing pregnancy and reached the highest at the end of pregnancy. The women with higher calcium intake during pregnancy period had higher BMD than that of the women with ordinary diet during pregnancy period.

Objective To investigate the indications and results of combined liver-kidney transplantation.Methods From Jan. 2001 to Dec. 2003, 15 patients were subjected to combined liver-kidney transplantation in our department. The underlying diseases included hepatitis B viral cirrhosis complicated by HRS ( n= 8), hepatitis B viral cirrhosis complicated by uremia ( n =2), hepatitis B viral cirrhosis complicated by diabetic nephropathy ( n =1), polycystic liver and kidney disease ( n =2), Caroli's disease and polycystic kidney ( n =1), alcoholic liver cirrhosis complicated by uremia ( n =1). The surgical procedure, perioperative complications, acute and chronic rejection, the recurrence of hepatic viral B hepatitis, and the result of follow-up were analyzed.Results The graft function in 15 cases of combined liver-kidney transplantation was restored well after operation. The 6-month and one-year survival rate was 100%. One patient was supported by respiration machine for 48 days. The complications occurred in 3 patients after operation, including one case of gastroenternal bleeding repeatedly and one case of postoperative wound bleeding subject to non-surgical treatment, and one case of stenosis of biliary anastomosis subject to ERCP. Only one patient experienced a rejection episode of the liver. No acute rejection of the kidney graft occurred. One patient was died from liver graft function failure by recurrence of hepatitis B after 30 months.Conclusions Combined liver-kidney transplantation is only radical treatment method for patients with end-stage liver disease with chronic renal dysfunction or chronic renal failure. In the patients with hepatitis B,lamividine and hepatitis B immunoglobin can prevent the recurrence of hepatitis B.
