To observe the protective effect of takepron(lansoprazole)on the gastric mucosal lesion in rats and its mechanisms . Before gastric mucosal lesion was produced in rats with pure alcohol,takepron was administered into the gastric lumen, and N? nitro L arginine methyl ester(L NAME) and L arginine were injected intravenously. Gastric mucosal blood flow(GMBF)was assessed with laser Doppler flowmetry,gastric mucosal and serum NO - 2 /NO - 3 were measured by cadmium granulation reduction and colorimetric method,and the gastric mucosal ulcer index(UI),the degree of tissue necrosis and neutrophil infiltration were observed . The results showed that UI of the takepron group was much lower than that of the control group( P

This study was to study the effect of cyclosporine A (CsA) on the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in liver cells in T cell dependent liver injury induced by concanavalin A (ConA) in mice. The results showed that there was no NOS expression in the normal murine hepatocytes. Affer ConA challenge, the expression of NOS in hepatocytes increased markedly.Moreover, the hepatocytes closer to the central vein showed stronger expression.After pretreatment of CsA, activation of T lymphocytes was inhibited and NOS expression in the hepatocytes was almost completely inhibited too.The above results suggest that an upregulation of NOS expression might be a protective response to insufficient supply of blood and oxygen as a result of ConA induced liver injury, and inhibition of the NOS expression by CsA might be associated with inactivation of T lymphocyte.

0.05). Conclusion:The excessive expression of Survivin in gallbladder cancer indicates that Survivin could be not only correlated with the occurrence of carcinoma but an early and common event in gallbladder carcinogenesis. Surviv in will promisingly become a novel tumor marker and can be applied in the clinic al practice for helping the early diagnosis as well as targeting gene therapy fo r gallbladder cancer.

By using a micro-sensor through an endoscope,the esophageal variceal pressure in 94 patients with cirrhosis was measured.The results of the measurement were as follow:in 5 cases with Ⅱ-degree,it was 2.68?0.18 kPa,varices in 26 cases with Ⅲ-degree,it was 2.90?0.23 kPa,while in 63 cases of Ⅳ-degree varices,it was 3.51?0.33 kPa.The results suggested that there was a significant correlation between the pressure of esophageal varices with the degree of varices (r=0.313,P=0.01).The method seemed to be a valuable non-invading technic for evaluating the degree of varices.

It was observed that there was relationship between the 10 indexes and bleeding, i.e. the diameter of portal vein in bleeding group 1.60?0.29 cm, portal venous flow 986.5?117.8 ml/min, free portal pressure 3.76?0.28 kPa, the esophageal variceal pressure 3.56?0.25 kPa. In the patients with no bleeding, the value were 1.40?0.16 cm, 831.7?53.6 ml/min, 2.79?0.33 kPa, and 2.75?0.31 kPa, respectively. Differences between two groups were significant (P

A UPLC-ESIMS method was developed for simultaneous analysis of seven major bioactive flavonolignans in silymarin including silychristins A(1) and B(2), silydianin(3), silybins A(4) and B(5), and isosilybins A(6) and B(7). In this study, the seven major active flavonolignans including the diastereomers 1/2, 4/5, and 6/7 were completely separated using UPLC with an ACQUITY UPLC C18 column and MeOH-water (formic acid) mobile phase system. The collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS/MS spectra of these flavonolignans were studied systematically using ESI-MS. The results with the present methodology showed that UPLC-MS/MS can be used for general screening of active natural products from plant extracts and for the specific quality control of silymarin.

Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) is most popular in targeted therapy for non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) . In recent years, there have been a great number of molecular biology studies of EGFR. Radiotherapy is well-known as a traditional and important treatment for NSCLC, and the treatment outcome is associated with EGFR mutation and overexpression. Phase Ⅲ trials are needed to evaluate the effect of a combination of radiotherapy and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor ( EGFR-TKI) in the treatment of NSCLC. MicroRNAs ( miRNAs) can modulate tumor-associated gene expression and influence the biological process of tumor. Recent studies have demonstrated that miRNAs play a positive or negative role in EGFR mutation, EGFR-TKI treatment, and radiotherapy, which mechanism has been partially clarified. In this article, we review the research advances in the association of miRNAs with EGFR mutation, EGFR-TKI, and radiotherapy, so as to provide the latest evidence for the application of miRNAs in the combination of radiotherapy and EGFR-TKI for the treatment of NSCLC.

Objective To analyze the occurrence rate of gastrointestinal and pulmonary infection and hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP)in severe craniocerebral injuries in my hospital using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) ,discuss the right way to use PPIs for severe craniocerebral injuries .Methods The case histories of 141 severe craniocerebral injuries in my hospital from 2011 to 2012 were looked up ,and divided into three groups as follows :the group that never used PPIs(17 cases) ,the group that used PPIs for a long time (59 cases) ,and the group that used PPIs for a short time (65 cases) ,and the risks of getting infected using PPIs were analyzed in those three groups above .Results The patients in PPIs group had a higher risk of gastrointestinal tract infection and HAP ,especially who were treated with PPIs more than 9 days .Adjusted by GCS score ,using PPIs for a long time was a risk factor in different multivariate logistic .Conclusion Using PPIs for a long time might be a risk factor of gastro‐intestinal tract infection and HAP .Therefore ,apart from considering the state of illness ,more attention should be paid to the u‐sing time w hen use PPIs .

Objective:To study the feasibility of using pelvic iterative cone beam CT images for dose calculation of radiation therapy planning, so as to provide support for adaptive radiotherapy.Methods:The CIRS 062 M phantom was scanned by Varian Halcyon v2.0 o-ring accelerator, and the average CT number under different scattering conditions was calculated, and then the ICBCT-ED conversion curve was established. CT images of CIRS 002PRA pelvic IMRT phantom and ICBCT images at different positions were collected. Treatment plan using VMAT technique based on CT image was designed and transplanted into ICBCT image with dose recalculated. The differences of gamma passing rate among target volume, organs at risk and 3-dimensional dose were compared. Based on the actual treatment plan of patients, the differences of 3-dimensional dose gamma passing rate in 10 pelvic patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There was a large CT value deviation at central position between the isolated no-scattering condition and the full-scattering condition, and the maximum deviation was 144 HU. The CT values of other positions in full-scattering condition were similar to those of the central position, and the maximum deviation was less than 50 HU. Based on the calculated result of ICBCT images at different positions of the pelvic phantom, the dose deviation of the target volume or organs at risk was less than 1 Gy. Compared with the plan based on CT images, the average 3-dimensional dose gamma passing rate under the criteria of 1% dose difference (DD)/1 mm distance-to-agreement (DTA) and 2% DD/2 mm DTA in plan based on ICBCT images were (88.86 ±1.18)% and (98.38±0.89)%, respectively. The ranges of average 3-dimensional dose gamma passing rate under the criteria of 2% DD/2 mm DTA and 3% DD/3 mm DTA in 10 patients with pelvic tumors were 90.03%-95.43% and 93.58%-97.78%, respectively, and the worst result was only 85.90% and 92.90%, respectively. The main reason of the worst result was the dose difference caused by large variation of bladder contour due to over-filling.Conclusions:Under comprehensive scattering conditions, the ICBCT-ED conversion curve is reconstructed and the treatment plan can be designed by using the ICBCT image of Halcyon v2.0 linear accelerator. The accuracy meets the standards of clinical application, which provides assurance for adaptive radiotherapy in the future.

Objective:To investigate the dosimetry effect of rotational errors of multi-channel cylinder vaginal applicator of intravaginal irradiation after surgery of endometrial cancer.Methods:A total of 18 patients who underwent surgery of endometrial cancer at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from June to December 2022 were selected.The plans of patients who adopted the treatment of multi-channel cylinder applicator of vagina were retrospectively analyzed,which maintained the same retained mode with clinical plan.The applicator was rotated clockwise by 22.5? and 45.0?,respectively,simulating the rotational errors that occurred in placing the applicator among clinical inter-fractions.And then,the changes of dosimetry of target area and organs at risk(OAR)under two kinds of rotation amplitudes were further analyzed.Results:When the applicator was rotated as 22.5?,the minimum doses to 90%volumes of CTV by 2.03%than that of clinical plan,which was significantly different(t=5.86,P<0.05),and the maximal doses to 2cc of OARs of bladder and rectum respectively increased 2.35%and 2.71%,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=-3.49,-2.40,P<0.05),respectively.When the applicator was rotated as 45?,the D90 of the target area decreased by 5.75%than that of clinical plan,which was statistically significant(t=14.07,P<0.05).The D2cc values of the bladder and rectum increased respectively by 6.50%and 9.49%than that of clinical plan,which were statistically significant(t=-7.72,-6.9,P<0.05).The differences of the exposed doses of sigmoid colon and small intestine after the applicator was rotated by 22.5? and 45.0? between the plan and original plan were respectively less,which were not statistical significance.Conclusion:The multi-channel cylinder applicator can provide individualized dose distribution in intravaginal irradiation.However,attention should be paid to the placement of the applicator when patients undergo inter-fractional treatment,in order to avoid deviations in the angular alignment from the original plan.This can impact the dosages of the target area and OARs.
