Objective To observe the effect of Fuming Tablet on the content of ATP and MDA, and the activity of SOD in retinal tissue of rabbit retinal detachment (RD) and reattachment model. Methods 48 rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 12 in each. 12 rabbits were taken as healthy control and fed with normal saline, the others in model group, western medicine group and Fuming Tablet group were prepared as RD model by injecting Sodium Halyuronate (Helen) into subretinal spaces, and the detached retinas were reattached automatically in 10 ~ 14 days. They were administered with normal saline, mixed preparation of western medicines and Fuming Tablet suspension respectively, then the content of ATP, MDA and SOD activity were determined in postoperative 1 week (the retina remained detached) and 3 weeks (the detached retina reattached). Results Effect of fuming tablet of increasing the content of ATP and the activity of SOD, reducing the content of MDA was similar with that of the mixed preparation of ATP, VitB1 and Venoruton. Conclusion Fuming Tablet can significantly improve the oxidation resistance and depress the lipid peroxidation of retinal tissue, thus alleviate and inhibit the development of retinal pathological changes to some extent.

OBJECTIVE To study the distributive properties and susceptibility of yeasts to six antifungal agents. METHODS To analyze the distributive properties of 264 clinical Candida spp isolates and study the susceptibility to amphotericin B,nystatin,fluconazole,ketoconazole,miconazole and clotrimazole.The susceptibility of yeasts was tested according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards guideline(NCCLS M27-A2). RESULTS Strains of Candida albicans were the most frequent organism isolated accounted for 62.5% of all the isolates.C.tropicalis,C.glabrata,and C.parapsilosis accounted for 20.8%,12.5%,and 1.9%,the others accounted for only 2.3%.The main infected organs were lungs,urinary tract,and digestive tract;the susceptibility tests showed strains of Candida spp to nystatin,amphotericin B,and fluconazole were more active than to the other antifungal agents.The resistance to triazole antifugal agents could be shown. CONCLUSIONS We should strengthen the diagnosis of Candida spp and strengthen the surveillance on susceptibility of clinical isolates Candida spp so as to help the doctors choose the antifungal agents reasonably.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsar-tan hydrochlorothiazide tablets. METHODS:UPLC was adopted. The determination was performed on Phenomenex C18 column with mobile phase consisted of [0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile(95 : 5,V/V)]-[0.1% phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile (5 : 95,V/V)](gradient elution)at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 272 nm,and the column tem-perature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 1.5 μL. RESULTS:The linear range were 8.1-324.2 μg/mL for valsartan(r=0.9999)and 1.2-50.1 μg/mL for hydrochlorothiazide(r=0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.24,0.04 ng,and the limits of detection were 0.06,0.01 ng. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 2.0%;recoveries were 97.69%-100.35%for valsartan(RSD=1.03%,n=9)and 98.27%-100.60% for hydrochlorothiazide(RSD=0.83%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Valsartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets.

Objective To explore the risk factors of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. Methods The clinic data of 1341 patients with colorectal cancer who had been admitted to our department from January 1989 to December 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The incidence of the liver metastasis from colorectal cancer was 11.56% (155/1341). Univariate analysis showed that sex, location and size of the primary tumor site, regional lymph node metastasis, infiltration depth of the bowel wall, involvement of the adjacent viscera, complications and peritoneal implantation were relevant to liver metastasis (X2=6.517, 10.208, 11.173, 42.160, 80.731,6.593, 3.887, 14.352, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that sex, regional lymph node metastasis, infiltration depth of the bowel wall, complications and primary tumor site were correlated with liver metastasis ( b = 0.655, -0.488, 1.355, -0.752, 0.273, P <0.05). Conclusions Male patients, patients with regional lymph node metastasis or with involvement of tissues out of the serosa have higher chance of liver metastasis from coloreetal cancer. Patients with colon cancer are apt to develop liver metastasis than those with rectal cancer. The incidence of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer patients complicated with other diseases is low.

Genetic factors play an important role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This article mainly introduced some genes, which have been reported in recent years, predisposing to different aspects of AD. The occurrence and progress of the late onset Al-zheimer's disease (LOAD) can be better understood through further study of the susceptibility loci, especially by using the pathway analysis, and the important hub genes can be found so as to provide targets for clinical prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Due to the dispersion of genetic variant information, it needs detailed literature, online search and some bioinformatics methods to analyze the causative genes and signaling pathways related to LOAD. 3 databases were took as recourses, and they were analyzed with multi-means and multi-ways of analy-sis and data mining methods, in order to provide theoretical basis for further study and clinical treatment of AD genetics.

Objective To investigate the relative motion between the femoral component and the tibial insert through the technology of fluoroscopy and digital model.Methods Sixteen female patients (16 knees) with knee osteoarthritis were performed TKA (GENESIS Ⅱ) from July 2007 to June 2008.The mean age was 66.4 years (range from 56 to 76 years).All patients were followed up 48 months to 60 months,with the mean of 56±3 months.The postoperative clinical function was evaluated by Knee Society Score (KSS).To match the digital model to the imaging data of fluoroscopy using 2D-3D automatic registration technology and reconstruct motion of the knee after TKA.The movement of contact position between femoral medial and lateral condyle and tibial insert and tibial internal rotation during flexion were measured.The contact time and range between femoral cam and tibial post were analyzed.Results The cases were statistically improved in KSS postoperatively,knee score was 93±5 and function score 88±13.The range of movement for femoral medial condyle was 8.5±2.5 mm,and the lateral condyle was 9.5±4.8 mm,the range of tibial internal rotation was 2.5°±8.4°.The contact of cam and post was observed after 30°-40° flexion of the knee,and the range was 8.0±1.8 mm.The greater tilting angle of the tibial plateau was,the later contact between cam and post happened.Conclusion The kinematics of tibiofemoral joint after TKA is different from the kinematics of normal knee.With knee flexion within 10°-30°,femoral medial condyle moves forward.When flexion is greater than 40°,medial and lateral condyle begins rollback.The time of contact of cam and post is relative to tibial prosthesis slope.

Purpose:
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new class of RNA molecules whose function is largely unknown. There is a growing evidence that circRNAs play an important regulatory role in the progression of a variety of human cancers. However, the exact roles and the mechanisms of circRNAs in gastric cancer are not clear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism of hsa_circ_0005556.
Materials and Methods:
Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of hsa_circ_0005556, miR-4270, and matrix metalloproteinase-19 (MMP19) in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines. The expression of hsa_circ_0005556 in gastric cancer cells was silenced by lentivirus, and cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and tumorigenesis in nude mice were assessed to evaluate the function of hsa_circ_0005556 in gastric cancer.
Results:
The expression of hsa_circ_0005556 in gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cell lines was higher compared to normal controls. In vitro, the downregulation of hsa_ circ_0005556 significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. In vivo, the downregulation of hsa_circ_0005556 suppressed tumor growth in nude mice.
Conclusions
Our study shows that the hsa_circ_0005556/miR-4270/MMP19 axis is involved in proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells through the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism.
