Objective:Infantile hemangiomas is the most common tumor in infants with congenital benign endothelial cell prolifera-tion. Propranolol is a non-selectiveβ-blocker commonly used in the treatment of arrhythmia, angina and hypertension, etc. Propranolol used in the treatment of hemangiomas was an accidental discovery, which creates a trend of research on the classic old drug at home and abroad. The efficacy of propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas has been affirmed in the clinical observation;howev-er, the safety and safe dosage need to be further evaluated by large sample control studies.

Objective To investigate the expression of STAT3 and its clinicopathological characteristics in colorectal carcinomas. Methods The expression and location of STAT3 and VEGF protein were deterimined using MaxVisionTM immunohistochemistry and immunohistochemiscal S-P method in 50 colorectal carcinomas and 30 nor-real colorectal tissues. Results Positive expression rates of STAT3 protein in colorectal cancer tissues and normal colorectal mucosa tissues were 82.0% and 33.3%. The expression of STAT3 protein was related to differentiation, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis in colorectal carcinomas (P<0.05 ). VEGF in the expression of lower tumor differentiation and highter TNM stage was significantly higher than that in higher turner differentitation and lower TNM stage (P < 0.01 ). VEGF in the groups of serosa invasion and lymph node metastasis was higher than that in no serosa invasion and lymph node metastasis ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions STAT3 protein expression is associated with the development of colorectal carcinoma, and its overexpression is an independent adverse prognosticator in colorectal cancer. STAT3 and VEGF protein may play an important role in colorectal tumorigenesis and disease progression.

Objective To investigate the Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in the immediate relatives of patients with gastric cancer.Methods One hundred and eighty two immediate relatives of 86patients with gastric cancer and 126 age and sex-matched immediate relatives of 46 dyspeptic patients were enrolled in the study from March 2010 to March 2011.C14 or C13 urea breath tests were performed and for those with Hp-positive results serological typing was further performed.Results One hundred and forty two out of 182 immediate relatives of gastric cancer patients were Hp positive with a Hp infection rate of 78％,which was significantly higher than that of immediate relatives of dyspeptic patients ( 78.0％ vs 47.6％,x2 =30.5,P ＜ 0.05,P =0.006 ).The average age of former was significantly higher than that of latter (46 ±6 y vs 38 ± 6 y; t =13.34,P ＜ 0.05).The rate of serological type Hp-1 in immediate relatives of cancer patients was significantly higher than that of those of dyspeptic patients (68.3％ vs 38.3％,x2 =14.28,P ＜0.05 ).The infection rate of children,both parents of whom were infected with Hp and only one parent infected with Hp (52.8％,43.2％,respectively ) was higher than that of children whose parents were not infected with Hp ( 13.3％ ) ( x2 =6.80,P ＜ 0.01 and x2 =4.35,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions The Hp infection rate is high in immediate familial members of gastric cancer patients and the predominant serological type of Hp is Hp-1.

Objective To explore the effect of nursing clinical pathway in percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Sixty AMI patients were randomly divided into nursing clinical pathway(NCP) group and control group equally by their registration sequence.Patients in the control group received routine nursing care,while patients in NCP group received nursing according to the nursing clinical pathway.Results Compared with the conventional group, the time of preoperative preparation,bed rest and hospitalization was obviously shortened.The incidence of complications and hospital costs were both declined,and meanwhile the quality of care and patient satisfaction improved significantly(P<0.05). Conclusions The application of nursing clinical pathway in patients with AMI can be timely and effective in the treatment of PCI, lower the mortality and complications and moreover improve nurses' working enthusiasm.

Objective To study the effects of reinforced trunk training on the motor function of stroke patients. Methods Fifty patients were randomly divided into the reinforced trunk training group and the control group. All patients were regularly treated with drug, electrotherapy, acupuncture, massage, physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). The patients in the reinforced trunk training group were administered with trunk function training in addition to the above interventions. The Rivermead Motor Index (RMI) assessment and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) assessment were used to assess the motor function of the patients. Results Motor scores of both groups were significantly increased ( P

Objective:To study the activity of immunological regulative function of red blood cells of the patients with chronic renal failure.Methods:The proliferative reaction of the erythrocyte promoting lymphocyte was detected in CRF patients and healthy persons with MTT colorimetry,in which the normal person's lymphocyte as the target cell and the erythrocyte as the stimulating cell.Results:It was found that the healthy persons of control group had obvious proliferative reaction of the erythrocyte promoting lymphocyte(promoting rate:57.3%?10.2%),while the 36 CRF patients had lower proliferative activity(promoting rate:32.7%?7.8%,P

BACKGROUND:Studies on the proteomics contribute not only to exploring the laws governing life activities, but also to elucidating the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases to find the treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application of proteomics in the plateau medical research. METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed and Wanfang databases from 1995 to 2015 to screen the relevant literatures using the key words“proteomics, medical research, plateau medicine”in English and Chinese, respectively. A total of approximately 200 English and 60 Chinese relevant literatures were selected and the 59 eligible literatures were included after screening final y. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, the human genome has been decoded through the studies on exploring the proteomics changes under the pathological conditions and the underlying mechanisms. Construction of physiological and pathological mapping based on the human proteome contributes to revealing the novel treatment targets, diagnostic markers, and drugs for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Proteomics has become the frontier and hot research field both at home and abroad, including al the proteins expressed in the tissue, cel or organism, and becomes a bridge between the genome and clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effects of 17?-estradiol (E2) on the gene expression of typeⅠA bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR-ⅠA) and core-binding factor alpha 1 (Cbf?1) in rat bone marrow stromal cells exposed to the differentiation medium and to elucidate the effects of E2 on osteoblastogenesis. Methods Adherent bone marrow stromal cells were cultured in differentiation medium containing DEX (10 -7 mol/L), 1,25-(OH)2D3 (10 -9 mol/L) and different concentrations of E2. Effects of different concentrations of E2 on the gene expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 was quantified by RT-PCR based on the comparison with an internal reference, ?-actin expression, and identified by Northern blotting. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of cells was detected. Contents of type Ⅰ collagen were determined by Van Gieson staining. Results E2 could evidently inhibit the expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 mRNA during the differentiation process of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner. These were confirmed by Northern blotting. The ALP activity increased in a concentration-dependent manner, but the amount of type Ⅰ collagen decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion E2 can significantly inhibit the gene expression of BMPR-ⅠA and Cbf?1 in bone marrow stromal cells and inhibit osteoblastogenesis in vitro.

Objective To explore the effect of family visit and nursing intervention in promoting the re-habilitation of thoracolumbar fracture patients. Methods 115 patients with thoracohmbar fracture were divid-ed into the study greup(60 cases) and the control group(55 cases) by random hospitalization number. Patients in the study group were given regularly rehabilitation guidance initiatively at home by doctors and nurses for 6 months since discharge, the control group received conventional discharge guidance. Results After the inter-vention, the two groups showed significant difference in the functional rehabilitation, awareness rate of disease-related knowledge, mastering rate of relevant skills, incidence rate of complication, satisfaction degree with nursing. Conclusions Regular family visit and nursing intervention by the doctors and nurses can not only teach patients relative functional exercise methods, promote the physical rehabilitation of limbs, reduce inci-dence of complications and solve the problem of lack of care support after discharge from hospital effectively.

Objective To compare CT performance of the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)with postoperative pathology and to probe their relationships with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)expression in order to provide more information for the treatment.Methods Clinical data of 75 patients with HCC were enrolled,including preoperative plain and enhanced CT scans,post-operative results of HE staining and immunohistochemical one of VEGF.The CT manifestations were compared with the pathological results of the HCC,and the relationship of CT findings and the VEGF expression was anlyzed.Results There was significant differ-ence between the liver cirrhosis or lymph node enlargement on CT in 75 patients with HCC and the pathology (P <0.05);However the tumor diameter,tumor emboli of portal vein and hepatic vein on CT were similar to those in pathology,exhibiting no statistically significant difference (P >0.05).The psuedocapsule of HCC,tumor size,pathological blood vessel,and tumor necrosis were related with the VEGF expression (P <0.05);However the tumor emboli of portal vein and hepatic vein,cirrhosis of the liver and intrahe-patic lesions (single or multiple)and lymph node enlargement were not related with VEGF expression (P >0.05).Conclusion The CT manifestations of HCC are closely related to the expression of VEGF.CT may reflect the pathological and biological characteris-tics of HCC with some limitations.
