Objective To explore the effects and molecular mechanisms of arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3) in inducing apoptosis of colonic cancer cell line SW480. Methods The morphologic changes and apoptotic rate of SW480 cells induced by As 2O 3 were observed with fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The bcl-2 and Fas expressions induced by As 2O 3 in SW480 cells were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results 24 hours after exposed to As 2O 3, SW480 cells exhibited typical morphologic changes of apoptosis, the apoptotic rate of which was 2.1%~10.6%. A typical subdiploid peak before G 1 phase was observed by flow cytometry, and As 2O 3 mainly acted in G 2/M phase. As 2O 3 decreased bcl-2 expression and increased Fas expression in SW480 cells. Conclusion As 2O 3 could induce apoptosis of SW480 cells. The molecular mechanism of As 2O 3-induced apoptosis of SW480 cells might be down-regulating the bcl-2 expression and up-regulating the Fas expression.

Objective To study the effects of ?-asarone on mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) of cardiac myocytes with ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods The cardiac myocytes model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) was induced with sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4). The primary cultured cardiac myocytes of SD neonatal rats were randomized into six groups:normal group,model control group,high-dose ?-asarone (25 ?g/mL),middle-dose ?-asarone group(12.5 ?g/mL),low-dose ?-asarone group (6.25 ?g/mL) and medium group. Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) of myocardial cells were measured by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the normal group,MMP in the model control group was obviously decreased(P

Objective To study the protective effects of ?-asarone against the myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury (MI/RI) in cultured cardiac myocytes. Methods MI/RI model was set up with Na2S2O4, which make use of rat cardiac myocytes. The viability of cardiac myocytes (using MTT method), dehydrogenase (LDH, CK) activitices in the medium were measured. Results In MI/RI model, ?-asarone can obviously advance the viability of cardiac myocytes, and decrease the dehydrogenase (LDH, CK) activitices in the medium. Conclusion ?-asarone showed protective effects against the myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in cultured cardiac myocytes.

Objective To understand the psychological status of the AIDS affected orphans in Henan Sunshine Homestead.Methods One hundred orphans from three Henan Sunshine Homesteads were investigated by questionnaire and depth-interviews.Results The study showed that the AIDS affected orphans were satisfied with their present living conditions in general,but still had some dissatisfaction.They valued peer relations,but were passive to contact strangers,and also felt lacking of care from the elderly.Nearly 70% of the orphans were some what introverted in nature,and some were in lack of thankful heart to managers of the Homestead and their patrons.

[Objective] To screen an optimal method for the extraction of volatile oil from Naokangling Capsule (NC) and processing techniques of ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) inclusion compound of NC. [Methods] The study was carried out with orthogonal design . Oil-extraction ratio, oil-bearing rate and inclusion rate of ?-CD inclusion compound of NC were used as indexes. [Results] The optimal process for oil extraction was adding 10-fold water in medicinal materials and then soaking for one hour and distilling for 5 hours. The optimal processing conditions for ?-CD inclusion compound of NC were: the proportion of ?-CD and volatile oil being 6:1, the inclusion compound being stirred for 2 hours at 40℃ . [Conclusion] This method is simple and practical and can increase the stability of preprations. It can be used for the production of ?-CD inclusion compound in a large scale.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of nursing intervention on patients who were suffering from pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome combined with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods From April 2010 to December 2011,58 patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension combined with OSAHS were selected.They were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 29 cases in each group.The control group received routine care and drug treatment,based upon this,the experimental group received pertinent nursing of OSAHS.The treatment effect was compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. Conclusions Pertinent nursing of OSAHS for patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension combined with OSAHS played a positive role in nursing of these patients,it can significantly decrease the blood pressure of patients.

Background and purpose:Lung cancer is currently the greatest threat to human life and health of the malignant tumor, clinical examination revealed a solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN), including a signiifcant portion of early stage lung cancer. The research aimed to discuss the diagnosis value of CT guidance Hookwire positioning thoracoscopic surgery for solitary pulmonary nodule. Methods:From Jul. 2011 to Jun. 2013, 310 SPN patients in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were collected. Hookwire positioning pins were retained guided by CT scan into the patients’ body. Video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) pulmonary wedge resection was adopted. According to the result of intraoperative frozen pathology, further treatment method was decided. Positioning accuracy, complications, VATS lung wedge resection surgery successful rate, transfer rate in the chest and SPN pathological classiifcation and other indicators were calculated with statistical methods. Results:Hookwire positioning successful rate was 100%, meanwhile, 2 patients with hemoptysis received symptomatic treatment.Intraoperative Hookwire fell off in 12 patients (3.87%), VATS wedge resection surgery successful rate was 99%, transit thoracotomy was carried out in 3 patients. SPN postoperative histological pathology results:237 cases with primary lung cancer, 73 cases with benign lesions. Conclusion:The method of CT guided Hookwire thoracoscopic surgery after positioning in treatment of SPN has higher diagnostic accuracy rate, reliable curative effect, fewer complications and great value in clinical promotion.
