Compared with group 4, concentration of Ca2+ intracellular of group 6 and 7 decreased significantly (P＜ 0.01), group 5 decreased too (P ＜ 0.05), compared with group 6, concentration of Ca2 + intracellular of group 5 increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01),when group 7 decreased significantly (P＜0.01). Conclusion Serum of chronic stress treated with Xiao Yao San has the effect of inhibiting Ca2+ overload in hippocampal neurons,it may work through a variety of signaling pathways including Glu-NR-Ca2+ to maintain the steady-state of Ca2+ concentration in hippocampal neurons, and then to protect neurons from the neurotoxic effects of excitatory.

Purpose To study the clinicopathologic features,immunophenotypes,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE).Methods Histopathology,clinical features and immunophenotypes of 12 cases of EHE which diagnosed by resection and core needle biopsy were analyzed retrospectively.These patients were followed-up.Results There were 9 males and 3 females,aged from 30 to 69 years,with an average age of 43.5 years.Among 12 EHEs,there were 8 cases in liver,3 cases in bone,and 1 case in lung.Histopathologically,the tumor cells were round and oval epithelioid arranged in single,nests,and cords.Tumor cells had abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm that contained vacuoles and erythrocyte in the tumor cytoplasm.The stroma showed myxoid change.Sparse calcification could be seen in some EHEs.Immunophenotype,tumor cells showed strong positive for CD34,CD31 and factor Ⅷ related antigen (FⅧRAg).Most EHEs are alive with tumor.1 case recurred in 6 months after surgery.1 patient died at 100 months postoperation.3 cases were lost follow-up.Conclusion EHE is a very rare low-grade malignant vascular neoplasm especially for arising from solid organ.Precise diagnosis must depend on surgical histopathology and molecular biology test of WWTR1-CAMTA1 fusion gene.

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study compared clinical manifestations of idiopathic sudden hearing loss between children and the elderly. METHOD: 44 pediatric patients and 76 elderly patients diagnosed with idiopathic sudden deafness in our clinic from December 2009 to September 2014 were enrolled. Different clinical parameters were compared. RESULT: The incidence of initially profound hearing loss was highest and mild hearing loss was lowest in both groups (P < 0.05). There were no differences in the proportion with initially mild, moderate, severe, and profound hearing loss between both groups (P > 0.05). The number of patients was the most in initially profound type of audiogram pattern and the fewest in ascending type in both groups (P < 0.05). Hearing recovery rates in children (27/44, 61.4%) was higher than that in elderly patients (32/76, 42.1%) (P < 0.05). There were no differences in hearing recovery rates of the patients with initially level of hearing loss in both groups (P > 0.05). The highest recovery rate in children was in those with descending type and the lowest was in those with profound type (P < 0.05). There were no differences in hearing recovery rates in elderly patients with initially different types of audiogram pattern (P > 0.05). Hearing recovery rates of descending type in children were higher than that in elderly patients. Presence of tinnitus in pediatric patients was not relavent to the outcome (P > 0.05). Presence of tinnitus in elderly patients was associated with favorable outcomes. (P < 0.05). Presence of dizziness in pediatric patients was not relavent to the outcome (P > 0.05). Presence of dizziness in elderly patients was associated with poor outcomes (P < 0.05). Presence of initially different degrees of opposite side hearing loss in elderly patients was not relavent to the outcome (P > 0.05). Presence of chronic diseases in elderly patients was not associated with the outcome (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The clinical manifestion of idiopathic sudden deafness is respective in Children and in elderly patients.

Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) contains abundant oxidants and free radicals. Oxidative stress caused by cigarette smoking results in the destruction of the alveolar cell walls and emphysema. However, there exists discrepancy about how CSE works in the process. In the present study, we observed the effect of CSE on the cell growth of type II alveolar epithelial cell-derived A549 cell line, and provided molecular understanding of this effect. The MTT assay results showed that CSE decreased the cell viability of A549 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and cell cycle was arrested in G(1)/S phase. Furthermore, CSE-induced apoptosis of A549 cells was verified by Hoechst 33258 staining, electron microscopy in morphology, and the appearance of DNA fragmentation and annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) staining assay at molecular level. It was found that CSE treatment resulted in the upregulation of Fas/APO-1 receptor and activation of caspase-3. CSE also initiated accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species, which was detected by laser confocal microscopy. Taken together, CSE could inhibit the cell growth and induce apoptosis of A549 cells through Fas receptor pathway. Oxidative stress caused by CSE may be the radical factor leading to apoptosis as well as cell growth inhibition in alveolar epithelial cells.
