Episodic tension-type headache is the most common headache in the general population and is usually self managed.Chronic tension-type headache may be highly disabling and often prompts medical consultation.Diagnosis is clinical,based on widely accepted and validated criteria and algorithm.Peripheral factors are implicated in episodic tension-type headache,whereas central factors probably underlie chronic tension-type headache.Simple analgesics,such as aspirin,are used for acute treatment.Amitriptyline and biofeedback assisted relaxation training have the best evidence of effectiveness for headache prevention.

Objective To investigate the effects of caveolin-1 overexpressing on the growth of cervical squamous cell cancer Hela cell line. Methods Eukaryotic expression vector of human caveolin-1 gene was introduced into Hela cells by Lipofectamine. The clones stably overexpressed caveolin-1 were identiffed by RT-PCR, immunofluorescence cell staining techniques and Westernblotting. Cells proliferation viabihty was tested by MTT assay, and flow cytometry was used to assay the cell cycle and apoptosis, and the relative phosphorylation level of extracellular regulated protein kinases (Erk1/2) were detected by Westernblotting. Results The clones stably overexpressed caveolin-1 were obtained. Compared with the parental Hela cells, the tranfected cells exhibited a slower rate of growth. FAGS analysis results revealed that overexpression of caveolin-1 resulted in the cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 [ ( 68. 04 ± 2. 57 ) % vs ( 53.41 ±1.01)%] phase and increased the apoptotic cell fraction[ (19. 18 ±2.20)% vs (5.63 ±0.55)%, P <0. 05 ]. Western blotting results showed that overexpression of caveolin-1 reduced the phosphorylation of Erk1/2(0.28 ±0.05 vs 0.81 ±0.07, P <0.05). Conclusions Overexpression of caveolin-1 suppressed the growth of Hela cells and induced apoptosis, down-regulation of Erk1/2 phosphorylation might be involved in its mechanism.

Aim To improve the sensitivity of phycobiliprotein immunofluorescence assay(PBPIFA), by introducing into bridged avidin biotin(BRAB) technique,known as BRAB-PBPIFA. Methods Using ELISA as a gold standard, effectiveness of three assays(direct PBPIFA, BRAB-PBPIFA and ELISA)were compared in simultaneous detection of standard antigen and 500 serum samples. Results BRAB improved greatly sensitivity of PBPIFA in detecting antigen of low concentration, and detection rate of weakly positive samples could increase by one times and a half. In the applying, protein-free blocking agent Tween 20 to BRAB-PBPIFA,possessed better blocking effect. Conclusion Combination of BRAB technique with PBPIFA can improve the detcctive sensitivity.

Objective To analyze the histological changes of bone diseases and to investigate the noninvasive measurements for diagnosing renal osteodystrophy (ROD) in maintenance dialysis patients . Methods Ninety-one patients were selected to receive bone biopsy . The bone samples were stained with HE, toluidine blue and Masson, and were examined with light microscopy . The levels of immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH), osteoprotegerin (OPG),sRANKL and osteocalcin (OCN) were determined in the patients enrolled from 2004 to 2006 . The level of iPTH was measured by radioimmunoassay . OPG and sRANKL were measured by ELISA,and OCN was measured by chemiluminescence . Results The incidence of ROD in the maintenance patients was 100% . According to the histological appearance, 50 cases (54 .9%) were high turnover bone disease (secondary hyperparathyroid bone disease), 9 cases (9 .9%) were low turnover bone diseases(osteomalacia and adynamic bone disease), and 32 cases(35 .2% ) were mixed bone disease . The level of iPTH in patients with ROD was significantly increased compared with healthy controls . It was the lowest in low turnover bone diseases . There was no difference among three types of ROD . OPG level was significantly increased compared with healthy controls [(2176 .58±1576 .08) pmol/L vs (1310 .46±1254 .00) pmol/L, P＜0 .05] . The level in high turnover bone diseases was higher than that of the healthy controls [(2261 .85±1712 .22) pmol/L vs (1310 .46±1254 .00) pmol/L, P＜0 .05] . There was no difference among three types of ROD .sRANKL level in high turnover bone disease was significantly increased compared with healthy controls [(0 .328±0 .524)pmol/L vs (0 .084±0 .190) pmol/L, P＜0 .05] . OCN level was also higher than that of the healthy controls (P＜0 .05), and the OCN level in low turnover ROD was the lowest among three types of ROD . OCN level in mixed ROD was dramatically increased as compared to low turnover ROD [(226 .633±66 .455) pmol/L vs (193 .03±104 .269) pmol/L, P ＜0 .05] .Conclusions The histological changes of bone disease can be indicated by iPTH level, but the types of ROD can not be distinguished according to iPTH level neither be differentiated by the levels of OPG, sRANKL and OCN . Bone histomorphometry is still the golden standard for diagnosing renal osteodystrophy .

Objective To investigate the protective effect of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) gene modified mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs-bFGF)on cerebral isehemia in rats.Methods MSCs or MSCs-bFGF were transplanted into rat models of focal cerebral ischemia by intravenous injection.The neurological deficits and infarction volumes were evaluated,and the survival rate and differentiation of grafted MSCs were observed by double immunofiuoreseent labeling.Results In the rat cerebral ischemic model, both MSCs and MSCs-bFGF showed protective effect on the rats in comparison with control group.However, the protective effect was more significant in MSCs-bFGF group.Double immunofluorescent staining showed the number of BrdU-labeled and NeuN co-expression cells in MSCs-bFGF treated animals(127.40?7.43 and 11.20?3.09)were much more than in those of MSCs treated animals.While there was no significant difference between MSCs-bFGF and MSCs group in the number of GFAP co-expression cells.Conclusion MSCs transplantation has protective effect on cerebral ischemia in rats.Basic fibroblast growth factor gene modified MSCs is more effective than MSCs in neuroproteetion.

OBJECTIVETo study the rehabilitation effects ergometry on COPD patients.

METHODSThirty COPD out-patients in our Hospital were randomly divided into 2 groups. Rehabilitation group, 15 patients, performed leg ergometry exercise of 80% peak Watt x 30min/d x 3d/w x 12w. Another 15 patients were control group without exercise. All patients received conventional therapy. Pulmonary function testing (PFT), cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), arterial blood gas analysis (ABG), Borg and CAT sores were done at both baseline and 12 w.

RESULTSThere was no statistically difference in lung function testing, blood gas analysis and cardiopulmonary exercise test when pre- exercises between 2 sub-groups. The IC, peak VO2 and peak, W of rehabilitation group significantly increased (P < 0.05); and Borg and CAT.scores significantly decreased (P < 0.05) from baseline; and other PFT and ABG did not change (P > 0.05). While there was no difference in control group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLeg submaximal ergometry rehabilitation improves health condition and ameliorate dyspnea symptoms in COPD patients.
