Objective To explore the interventional method to treat biliary recurrent jaundice after T tube drainage in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice due to cholangiocarcinoma. Methods 7 bili ary metallic stents were placed in 7 patients with recurrent jaundice after T tube drainage in cholangiocarcinoma cases. Results Stent placement was once successful in all 7 cases with successful rate of 100%. For all cases, TBIL,ALT,GTP and AKP values 7 days postoperatively were significantly lower than that of preoperation together with subsidence of jaundice satisfactorily for 100% after the treatment.Conclusions Percutaneous placement of biliary metallic stents was effective economic, minimal invasive and safe for palliation of biliary recurrent jaundice after T tube drainage in cholangiocarcinoma induced obstructive jaundice.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of midazolam on human ether-a-go-go (hERG) K+ channels exogenously expressed in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

METHODSWhole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record WT, Y652A and F656C hERG K+ current expressed in HEK-293 cells.

RESULTSMidazolam inhibited hERG K+ current in a concentration-dependent manner, the half-maximum block concentrations (IC50) values were (1.31 ± 0.32) µmol/L. The half-activation voltage (V1/2) were (2.32 ± 0.38) mV for the control and (-1.96 ± 0.83) mV for 1.0 µmol/L midazolam. The half-inactivation voltage (V1/2) was slightly shifted towards negative voltages from (-49.25 ± 0.69) mV in control to (-57.53 ± 0.53) mV after 1.0 µmol/L midazolam (P < 0.05). Mutations in drug-binding sites (Y652A or F656C) of the hERG channel significantly attenuated the hERG current blockade by midazolam.

CONCLUSIONMidazolam can block hERG K+ channel and cause the speed of inactivation faster. Mutations in the drug-binding sites (Y652 or F656) of the hERG channel were found to attenuate hERG current blockage by midazolam.

Objective:To assay aflatoxin B1 in the oil as a pharmaceutical excipient in soft capsules by LC-MS/MS. Methods:Aflatoxin B1 was extracted from the peanut oil in soft capsules by the solvent composed of methanol and 0. 1% formic acid solution, and then centrifuged and the supernatant was purified by neutral alumina cartridges and tested after the concentration with the mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0. 1% formic acid solution with gradient elution at the flow rate of 0. 3 ml·min-1 . 25μl of the tested solu-tion was injected for the analysis at the column temperature of 30℃. Electrospray ionization ( ESI) source was applied and operated in the position ion mode. Multiple reactions monitoring ( MRM) mode was used to quantify the samples. Results:Aflatoxin B1 was in good linearity within the range of 0. 098-1. 960 μg·L-1(r=0. 999 5). The limit of detection was 0. 05 μg·L-1. The average sampling recovery was 97. 73% (n=6) with RSD of 4. 625%. Conclusion:The method is proved to be sensitive, accurate, specified and re-producible, which is referential for the assay of aflatoxin B1 in oily preparations.

Objective To investigate the effect of activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ ( PPARβ/δ)on protein synthesis and expression of angiotensin (Ang)Ⅱ-induced hypertrophic myocytes(MC) in vitro.Methods Hypertrophy in neonatal rat cardiac MC culture was established with AngⅡ, then the effect of GW0742 on hypertrophy was detected.The synthetic rate of protein in MC was detected by 3 H-leucine incorporation.mRNA and protein expression of atrial natriuretic IL-1βwas measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and Western-blotting. Results and Conclusion GW0742 could reduce the synthetic rate of protein in hypertrophic MC while down-regulating the mRNA and protein expression of IL-1β, but no changes were observed after treatment with DMSO.The result demonstrated that activation of PPAR beta/delta inhibited cardiac hypertrophy in vitro and this effect might be related to inflammatory factors.

Objective To investigate the effect of acute blood glucose on the level of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),interleukin-6 (IL-6),and the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB).Methods The Wistar rats were infused intermittently or consistently with 50％ glucose solution.The level of GSH-Px was investigated with colorimetry.The level of IL-6 was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression of NF-κB was investigated with immunohistochemisty.Results The level of GSH-Px in aorta homogenate in the acute blood glucose fluctuation group [(6.26 ± 0.38) nmol/mgprot] was evidently lower than that of consistently high blood glucose group [(8.98 ± 0.56) nmol/mgprot] and the control group [(10.02 ±1.10)nmol/mgprot] (P ＜0.05).The level of IL-6 [(20.56 ±3.78)pg/ ml] and the expression of NF-κB in the aorta in the acute blood glucose fluctuation group [(16.35 ±2.45) pg/ml] were evidently higher than the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Acute glucose fluctuations induced the enhancing of oxidative stress and expression of inflammatory cytokines in the aorta,which leads to start NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To assess the relationship between the Chlamydia pneumonia(CPn)infection and coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods Blood samples from 200 CHD patients and 100 heathy controls were col-lected,and Cpn IgM and Cpn IgG were tested by ELISA.Results The Cpn IgM were found in 113 cases (56.5%) and in 24 controls(24.0%).The Cpn IgG positive cases were in 145(72.5%) patients and in 43 controls (43.0%).The positive rate of Cpn IgM and Cpn IgG in CHD group Was higher than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:CPn positive rate is higher in CHD group than that in control group.Cpn is closely related to the pathogenesis of CHD.

CONCLUSIONS:Calf spleen extraction injection combined with chemotherapy has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of cancer.

Objective To study the expression and significance of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The expression of miR-26a in 46 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC) tissues and peritumoral tissues was detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR).The intrahepatic eholangiocarcinoma cell line HCCC-9810 and RBE were transfected with miR 26a mimics and miR 26a inhibitors,respectively,by lipofectamine 2000.The growth curves were constructed by the CCK 8 method.The migration and invasion ability was demonstrated by wound healing and transwell assay.The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.The potential mechanism was illustrated by Western blotting.Results For the 46 ICC tissues and peritumoral tissues,miR 26a levels were significantly higher in the tumor tissues than in the peritumoral tissues (P＜0.05).Vascular invasion,TNM Ⅲ～Ⅳ stage and lymph node metastasis were significantly associated with high miR 26a expression levels (P＜0.05),but gender,age,tumor amounts,tumor encapsulation,tumor diameter and tumor differentiation showed no significant association (P＞0.05).Enhanced cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability,accelerated G0/G1 phase to S phase transition,activated AKT by PTEN suppression were observed in HCCC-9810 cells with up regulation of miR-26a.Conversely,cell proliferation,migration and invasion ability was inhibited,G0/G1 phase was blocked and AKT was restrained by PTEN increase wkh down regulation of miR-26a in RBE cells.PTEN mRNA in versely correlated with the miR-26a level (r=-0.8272,P＜0.01).Patients with a high miR-26a expression had significantly poorer overall survival (P＜0.05).A high miR 26a exprcssion,multiple tumors and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors of overall survival (P＜0.01).Conclusion Overexpression of miR-26a in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma correlated with clinicopath ological features and overall survival,and it potentially promoted tumor proliferation and metastasis through the PTEN/AKT pathway.
