Expression and regulation of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is associated with the development of multidrug resistance in cancer.Cancer cells are exposed in endogenous damages from its own micro-environments and inflicted stimulated damages.These harmful micro-environments could trigger cellular stress response and regulated the expression of P-gp through various activated signal transduction pathways.Researches of the cellular endogenous micro-environments and exogenous stimulation damages on the expression and regulation of P-gp would have important significance for exploring the multidrug resistance of cancer cell.

ObjectiveTo investigate changes of sex hormone levels and sexual function in male patients after liver transplantation.MethodsBlood samples were taken from 69 male patients receiving liver transplantation pretransplantation and postoperative 3rd,7th,14th day,1st and 3rd month respectively.Serum estradiol and testosterone were measured by radioimmunoassay.Serum sex hormone binding globulin was measured by ELISA.Sixty-nine discharged adult male liver transplant recipients ( age ranging 24 -45 years) with a normally functioning allograft for at least 6 months were questioned on their pre-and post-operativesexualfunction compared with 23adulthealthy controls.ResultsPretransplantation serum estradiol and sex hormone binding globulin were significantly higher (87.56±31.21 vs.26.00 ±9.12,u=9.30,P＜0.0001,134.50±30.68 vs.51.04 ±12.05,u=12.69,P ＜ 0.0001,respectively),and testosterone was lower than normal controls (2.02 ± 1.28 vs.4.82 ± 1.48,u =-8.73,P ＜0.0001 ) and levels were correlated with MELD scores (r =0.80,P ＜0.0001,r =-0.77,P ＜0.0001,r =0.72,P ＜0.0001,respectively).Sex hormone levels were back to normal on postoperative 2nd week (serum estradiol) or 1st month (serum testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin).Compared with pretransplant status,sexual function improved significantly when evaluated on postoperative 6th month.ConclusionsLevels of serum sex hormone were correlated with MELD scores before liver transplant.After liver transplant,estradiol was back to normal level on postoperative 2nd week,testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin back to normal level on postoperative 1 st month.Sexual function significantly improves after liver transplantation.

Objective To explore the related risk factors for neuropathic pain in diabetic rats.Methods Female Wistar rats of clean grade were divided into three groups :Non diabetic standard diet (NdStd) group (n=10) ,diabetic high fat diet and pain (DbHFP) group (n=10) ,and diabetic high fat diet and no pain (DbHFNP) group (n=10).Body weight ,blood glucose ,TG ,TC ,HDL‐C ,LDL‐C and 50%pain threshold were measured regularly to assess the relationship between blood lipids and pain. Results Non‐conditional logistic regression analysis showed that pain threshold was negatively correlated with TG , LDL‐C and blood glucose(P<0.05) ,and positively correlated with HDL‐C (P<0.05). And there was no association between TC and body weight (P> 0.05). Conclusion Pain threshold of diabetic rats was negatively correlated with TG ,LDL‐C and blood glucose ,and positively correlated with HDL‐C.

Objective To seek an effective method for the treatment of grade ⅢB tibial fractures.Method From Oct. 1985 to Oct.1999, 26 cases of grade ⅢB tibial fractures were treated by early soft tissue coverage(including 12 cases of free muscle flaps and 14 cases of local muscle flaps), early fracture fixation(including 21 cases of external fixation and 5 cases of non-reamed intramedullary nail) and early bone grafting(15 cases).Results The follow up duration were from 10 to 32 months with an average of 15.5 months. The success rates of free and local muscle flaps were respectively 91.7 %(11/12) and 92.9 %(13/14)?Infection occurred in 5 cases (3 cases of local superficial infection and 2 cases of osteomyelitis). The time for bone union were from 17 to 66 weeks with an average of 42 weeks. Conclusion "San-Zao"therapy,especially early soft tissue coverage and early fracture fixation is on effective management for grade ⅢB tibial fractures with the advantages of promoting wound healing and bone union and decreasing the possibility of infection.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of Duhuo jisheng decoction combined with glucosamine gulfate for genual osteoarthritis. METHODS:Totally 86 patients with genual osteoarthritis selected from our hospital during Dec. 2015-Apr. 2016 were divided into trial group and control group according to random number table,with 43 cases in each group. Control group was given Glucosamine sulfate tablets 1-2 tablet,po (at mealtime),tid. Trial group was additionally given Duhuo jisheng decoction,one dose a day,decocting 200 mL with water,morning and evening at twice,on the basis of control group. Both groups received treatment for 28 d. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as the levels of hs-CRP,TNF-α, IL-6,MMP-3,MMP-9 and MMP-13. The occurrence of ADR was recorded during treatment. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6,MMP-3,MMP-9 and MMP-13 between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treat-ment,total response rate of trial group(95.3%)was significantly higher than that of control group(76.7%),with statistical signif-icance (P<0.05). The level of hs-CRP in trial group was significantly lowered,and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6,MMP-3,MMP-9,MMP-13 in 2 groups were decreased significantly;above indexes of trial group were significantly lower than those of con-trol group,with statistcal significance(P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in trial group(7.0%)was significantly lower than control group (46.5%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Duhuo jisheng decoction combined with glucosamine gulfate shows good therapeutic efficacy for genual osteoarthritis with good safety.

Objective To evaluate the impact of serum cystatin C (Cys C) level on short term prognosis in elderly patients with unstableangina (UA). Methods 167 patients with US were involved in this study. The serum Cys C level was measured by immunonephelometric assay.The patients were divided into normal group (Cys C<1.5 mg/L, n=102) and high Cys C group (Cys C≥1.5 mg/L, n=65) according totheir baseline of the first Cys C level within 24 hours. The clinical outcomes, including major cardiac events, mortality and readmission duringhospitalization and 6 months in the follow-up period were observed and evaluated. Results The major cardiac events, mortality and readmissionrate were higher in the high Cys C group than in the normal group (χ2=4.16, P=0.042). Conclusion The serum of Cys C level isclosely related to the short term prognosis of UA, it could be a risk factor to predict major cardiac events in patients with UA.

To evaluate the efficacy of heparin combined with low molecular heparin against early thrombosis in chronic patients after native arteriovenous fistula ( AVF) . Methods: A total of 299 patients were enrolled in the study from January 2012 to December 2014 and randomly divided into two groups. The control group received 5000IU low molecular heparin after the operation for 7 days and the trial group received 3 000u heparin additionally through free arterial end and venous terminal during the operation. The thrombosis formation rate and adverse drug reactions ( ADR ) of one week and 4 weeks after the operation were observed in the two groups. Results:One week after the operation, the thrombosis formation rate in the control group and the trial group was 3. 4% and 0, respectively, and four week after the operation, that was 4. 8% and 0. 67%, respectively. The incidence of ADR showed no statistical-ly difference between the two groups (P>0. 05), and no severe ADR appeared in both groups. Conclusion:Heparin combined with low molecular heparin may be more effective and safer in the prevention of primary thrombosis in the patients after AVF.
