Objective: To investigate the effect of interleukin-8 (IL-8) on survival and apoptosis of hypoxic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with its mechanisms.
Methods: Hypoxic HUVECs were induced by CoCl2. HUVECs were cultured with different concentrations of CoCl2 or IL-8 and the survival rates of HUVECs were examined. Normal or hypoxic HUVECs were incubated with IL-8 or simultaneously incubated with anti-IL-8 or Akt inhibitor LY294002 for 48h. The HUVECs survival rate was detected by MTT method, apoptosis rate was measured by Annexin V-FITC/PI method, the protein expressions of Caspase-3, phosphorylated Akt (pAkt) and GSK-3βser9 (pGSK-3βser9) were evaluated by Western blot analysis.
Results: By 12 h incubation with low concentration of CoCl2 (50, 100 μmol/L), HUVECs proliferation were improved, P<0.01; while by 24h and 48 h incubation with high concentration of CoCl2 (200, 400 μmol/L) HUVECs survival were decreased. By 48h and 72h incubation with IL-8 at (10, 50, 100 ng/ml), the hypoxia induced cell apoptosis was decreased and the survival was increased,P<0.01. IL-8 at 10 ng/ml may obviously inhibit the normal and hypoxic HUVECs apoptosis, down-regulate caspase-3 and up-regulate pAkt and pGSK-3βser9 expressions in HUVECs,P<0.01, while the above effects could be reversed by LY294002 and anti-IL-8,P<0.01.
Conclusion: IL-8 could down-regulate caspase-3 and up-regulate pAkt and pGSK-3βser9 expressions in HUVECs and therefore, inhibit the apoptosis and improve the survival of hypoxic HUVECs.

Objective To observe the effect of recombinant human granulocyte/macrophage colonystimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) combined with nano-silver for deep burn degreen Ⅱ. Methods The burn model were done with Wistar rats. They were randomly divided into four groups , group A (n = 30): petrolatum treatment, group B(n = 30): nano-silver treatment, group C(n = 30): rhGM-CSF treatment, and group D(n =30): rhGM-CSF combined with nano-silver treatment. The healing rates of the four groups were observed on postburn day 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21. Meanwhile the levels of VEGF and EGF in serums were measured with ELISA. Results All groups started to heal on postburn day 10. Group A had inflammation obviously , and group D moderately. There were significant difference in the healing retes on postburn day 10 , 14, 21 between four groups (P < 0.05). The level of VEGF in group A peaked on postburn day 21 (25.76 ± 1.46)pg/mL, but the levels of VEGF in group B, group C and group D peaked on postburn day 14[(29.73 ± 1.58)pg/mL, (38.91 ± 2.38)pg/mL, (43.54 ± 1.28)pg/mL]. On postburn day 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, there were significant difference(P <0.05). The level of EGF peaked on postburn day 21 in all groups [(0.72 ± 0.14)ng/mL, (0.93 ± 0.13)ng/mL, (1.18 ± 0.16)ng/mL, (1.50 ± 0.15)ng/mL]. There were significant difference on postburn day 7, 10, 14, 21 between four groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions rhGM-CSF combined with nano-silver treatment could promote wound healing, and be better than rhGM-CSF and nano-silver singly.

Methods Different parts of the bulb were tried as the explant and cultured on different culture media with the additon of different portions of various hormones at various cultural conditions. Results The best medium for the culture of explant bulb was MS+NAA 0.5 mg/L and GA 3 2.0 mg/L and the highest induction rate was at the lowest part of the scale leaves, which attained 92.5%. The small bud can further differentiate to form secondary small buds. By liquid-quivering culturing, the weight increase can be accelerated. Conclusion Tissue culture of L. brownii var. viridulum can achieve its rapid propagation, resulting in the possibility for its industrial production.

Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder. It is characterized by a distinctive 4-12 Hz action tremor typically affecting bilateral upper limbs. Existing drugs for ET mainly include β-blockers, anticonvulsants, benzodiazepines, etc. However, the efficacy of existing drugs is limited. With the development of the medical research, some progress has been made in the treatment of ET. The review will explore the recent advances in the treatment of ET,such as new drugs, surgical treatment, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, rehabilitation treatment, etc., in order to provide clinical application prospects.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) on postoperative analgesia after caesarean section.Methods Sixty parturientsscheduled for cesarean section, aged 20-40 years, ASA physical status Ⅰ orⅡ, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 30 each) using a random number table:QLB group (group Q) and control group (group C).Parturients in group Q received bilateral QLB with the use of 20 ml 0.33％ ropivacaine per side after surgery, while QLB was not done in group C.Both groups received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after surgery which contains 800 mg tramadol, 40 mg nefopam and 80 ml normal saline.The accumulative consumption of tramadol, the score of numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain at rest and on movement and the bruggrmann comfort scale (BCS) score were recorded at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hafter operation.The cutaneous sensory block area was determined in group Q at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hafter operation.The patient′s satisfaction with postoperative analgesia and adverse reactions were also recorded.Results The consumption of tramadol in group Q was significantly decreased compared with that in group C (P<0.05) at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hafter surgery.NRS for pain at rest at all times, NRS for pain when cough at 12, 24 hafter surgery and NRS for pain when turning over at 4, 48 hafter surgery were significantly lower, while the BCS score was higher in group Q than that in group C (P<0.05).Quadratus lumborum block affected T7-L1 dermatomes at 4, 8, 12 hafter surgery and T8-L1 dermatomes at 24 hafter surgery.The analgesic plane of quadratus lumborum block disappeared at 48 hours after operation.The patient's satisfaction with postoperative analgesia was higher in group Q compared with that in group C (P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting and dizziness was similar between the two groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block can remarkably reduce the consumption of tramadol after caesarean section, lower the postoperative pain score, improve the patient′s comfort and satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between the number,phenotype and functional status of dendritic cells (DCs) and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS: Forty patients with severe coronary stenosis were recruited and divided into a CCC formation group (Group A, n=22) and a non-CCC formation group (Group B, n=18). Density gradient centrifugation was applied to separate the mononuclear cells (MNCs) from coronary artery blood samples, and MNCs were cultured and proliferated in vitro. The morphology of DCs was observed under converted microscope. The number of harvested cells and DCs was counted by hematocytometer. Flow cytometry was applied to investigate the phenotype and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). Mixed lymphocyte reaction was used to test the function of DCs to stimulate the proliferation of T lymphocytes. Stimulation index (SI) was calculated and compared. RESULTS: (1) After in vitro proliferation, DCs were cultured successfully from the mononuclear cells from coronary artery blood samples and the morphology of DCs was not different in the 2 groups. (2) The number of mononuclear cells (MNC no) was (3.95+/-1.41)*10(6), in the CCC group and (2.76+/-0.92)*10(6) in the non-CCC group. The MNC number was significantly increased in the CCC group (P=0.003). (3) The number of DCs was (1.54+/-0.96)*10(6) in the CCC group, and (0.99+/-0.46)*10(6) in the non-CCC group (P=0.033). (4)There was no statistical significance in the percent of CD1a+, CD1a+CD80+, CD1a+CD83+, CD1a+CD86+ cells, and MFI in the 2 groups (P>0.05). (5) SI was 4.96+/-2.30 in the CCC group, whereas 2.66+/-1.04 in the non-CCC group. The SI in the CCC group increased significantly(P=0.0003). CONCLUSION In CHD patients with severe coronary stenosis, patients with CCC formation have higher number of DCs and stronger potential of T lymphocyte stimulation.
