Objective To compare cardiovascular responses of intubations by Discopo and Macintosh laryngoscope in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods Sixty elderly hypertensive patients with ASAⅡ~Ⅲundergoing elective surgery were equally randomized into two groups. After induction of general anesthesia , orotracheal intubation was performed with Discopo or Macintosh. The Mean arterial pressure (MBP) and heart rate (HR), as while as Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), were recorded before (baseline values) and at 1,3,5 minutes after intubation(post-induction values). The rate of one-time successive intubation,intubation time and complication were also recorded. Results Compared with the macintosh group, the rate of one-time successive intubation was higher and the intubation time was shorter in the Discopo group (P< 0.05, respectively),with no complications. Compared with T0,MBP and HR at T2 in the two groups and T3 in the Macintosh group increased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared with the Macintosh group,MBP and HR at T2,T3 of the Discopo group decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusion Little effect of tracheal intubation with Discopo on cardiovascular response was observed in elderly hypertensive patients.

[Summary] Considerable efforts have been made to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of metformin ,a potent antihyperglycemic agent now recommended as the first‐line treatment of patients with T2DM. The main effect of this drug is to reducethe hepatic glucose output ,primarily through inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅰ and then activating AM P‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) ,which provide a generally acceptable mechanism for the action of metformin on hepatic gluconeogenesis. Beyond its effect on glucose metabolism ,metformin has been reported to improve ovarian function of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to reduce the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with T2DM. In addition ,metfomin has also recently been suggested as an adjuvant treatment of cancer. Here we reviewed the progress of mechanism research and clinical application of metformin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects and mechanisms of IL-32γ-shRNA-mediated gene silencing on the proliferation and apoptosis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsA eukaryotic expression plasmid of shRNA targeting IL-32γ was transfected into fibroblastlike synoviocytes by liposome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.RT-PCR was used to determine the expression level of IL-32γ.Western blotting was used to detect the levels of cyclin D1 and p-Akt.The proliferation of RA-FLS was examined by MTT.Cell cycles were analyzed by flow-cytometry.The apoptosis of cells were measured by TUNNEL.Comparisons between groups were tested by t test.Results ① The expression of IL-32γwas significantly inhibited by shRNA-IL-32γ-expressing plamid PGCsi 3.0 targeting sequence 1,2 and 3,and the inhibition rate had reached 75.6％,66.2％ and 64.1％,respectively.② The absorbance value of proliferation of RA-FLS in EASY-shRNA-IL-32γ group was significantly lower than that in the shRNA-control group and normal group at day 3 [(0.23±0.03) vs (0.35±0.03) and (0.36±0.04),P＜0.05] and 5 [(0.27±0.03) vs (0.52±0.05) and (0.53±0.04),P＜0.01 ] after transfection.③ The rate of RA-FLS at phase G1 in the EASY-shRNA-IL-32γ group was significantly higher than that in the shRNA-control group and normal group respectively [(88±6)％ vs (69±5)％ and (68±4)％,P＜0.05],while those at phase S+G2 in the EASY-shRNA-IL-32γgroup was significantly lower than that in the shRNA-control group and normal group [ ( 13.6±3.0)％ vs (30.2±4.1)％ and(32.1±4.3)％,P＜0.01].④The rate of RA-FLS apoptosis in the EASY-shRNA-IL-32γ group was significantly higher than that in the shRNA-control group and normal group[(20.50±3.21 )％ vs (9.20±0.32)％ and (8.60±0.22)％,P＜0.01].⑤ The expression of cyclin D1(0.36±0.04) and p-Akt(0.31±0.03) in the EASY-shRNA-IL-32γ group was significantly lower than that in the shRNA-control group [ (0.59±0.08) and (0.53±0.06)] and normal group [(0.61±0.07) and (0.52±0.06),P＜0.01].ConclusionEASYshRNA-IL-32γ can inhibit RA-FLS proliferation by down-regulating the expression of cyclin D1 and induce RA-FLS apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of p-Akt.

The present study examined the functional profile of dendritic cells (DCs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the effects of simvastatin on the function of DCs. A total of 40 patients who was recently diagnosed as having RA were equally assigned to two groups: the routine treatment group (group R) and the routine treatment plus simvastatin group (group R+S). Twenty healthy individuals served as control. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated before and 4 weeks after the treatment and then cultured with interleukin-4 (IL-4) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulatory factor (GM-CSF) to prepare mature DCs. The expression of co-stimulating factor CD86 on the surface of DCs was assessed by flow cytometry. And the stimulating capacity of DCs was measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The contents of cytokines in culture supernatants of DCs in MLR were detected by ELISA. Blood lipids and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were detected. The relationship between the expression of CD86 and the blood CRP level was also investigated. The results showed that, as compared with the control group, the CD86 expression and the level of cytokines secreted by DCs were significantly increased in RA patients and greater stimulating capacity of DCs in MLR was demonstrated in RA patients. T lymphocytes in MLR secreted higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-17, TNF-α and INF-γ) and lower level of anti-inflammation cytokine (IL-10). The function of DCs was markedly weakened and the level of hs-CRP and low-density lipoprotein was substantially lowered in group R+S in comparison to group R. The CD86 expression was positively correlated with hs-CRP. It was concluded that DCs in RA are highly activated and DC-initiated immune reaction may play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA. Simvastatin administration can significantly inhibit the DCs function and reduce the level of hs-CRP, indicating the suppression on inflammatory reaction may be one of the mechanisms by which simvastatin exerts its effect in treating RA.

Objective To improve mental health of children in the rural area by intervention with moviewatching.Methods The participants were 438 students from Anhui province,including 273 students in grade 5 from two primary schools and 165 students in grade 2 from two middle schools.Subjects were randomly divided into two groups:an intervention group with movie-watching (n=188)and a control group(n=250).Results The inter-group difference between the pre-measurement and the post-measurement on depression and anxiety of the intervention groups and the control groups in grade 5 from two primary schools was not significant,while the intergroup difference between the pre-measurement and the post-measurement on value8(the intervention group (2669.52±2216.43),the control group(316.57±1410.83)),and the inter-group difference was significant(t_(values)=10.721,P=0.000).The inter-group difference between the pre-measurement and the post-depression, anxiety and values of the interntion groups and the control groups in grade 2from two middle schools was significant(t _(depression)=2.046,P=0.043;t _(state amxoetu)=3.507,P=0.001;t _(trait anxiety)=3.392,P=0.001;t _(values)=5.022,P=0.000)respectively).The intervention effect on mood of depression,anxiety and the values of intervention groups in grade 5 from two primary schools was not significant,while significant on values(F=91.62,P=0.000);while that of intervention groups in grade 2 from two =0.000 respectively).Conclusion Movie-watching intervention wag an effective way to improve middle school students' mental health and to develop correct values.Movie-watching should be an alternative way to improve met-al health of children in rural area for its operability.

Objective: To analyze the correlation of miR-625 expression with clinicopathological characteristics in esophageal squa-mous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to explore the effect of miR-625 on the migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Methods:The expres-sion level of miR-625 was determined through real-time PCR in 86 paired human ESCC tissue specimens and tumor-adjacent normal esophageal tissue specimens, ESCC cell lines, and esophageal epithelial cell line. The associations of miR-625 expression with clinico-pathological characteristics and survival in ESCC patients were analyzed. Transwell and CCK-8 assays were performed to examine the effect of miR-625 expression on migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Results:Compared with tumor-adjacent normal specimens, miR-625 was significantly downregulated in ESCC tissue specimens (P<0.05). MiR-625 expression was decreased in ESCC cell lines com-pared with human esophageal epithelial cell lines (P<0.05). Lower miR-625 expression was associated with poorer prognosis and sur-vival. The migration and proliferation abilities of ESCC cells were inhibited by miR-625 overexpression (P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-625 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in the development and progression of ESCC, suggesting that miR-625 may serve as an efficient prog-nosis biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for ESCC.
