Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fish Polysacchoride(GPS)was observed to have mitogenic activity on murine spleen cell proliferation in vitro,The results showed that this mitogenic activity of GPS may be directed to B Iymphocytes,i.e.GPS is a new mitogen of murine B lymphocytes.Furthermore,it was found that B lymphocytes stimulated by GPS was M? depedent and T cell-indepedent.On the contrary,antibodies and IL-2 production was inhibited by GPS in vivo.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of astragalin on pulmonary edema after acute cervical spinal cord injury in rats.MethodsA total of 200 adult Wistar rats weighing 240-250 g were randomly divided into five groups:astragalin group,low concentration astragalin group,physiological saline group,blank group and sham group,with 40 rats in each group.The rats with cervical spinal cord injury were induced at C7 by modified Allen' s method,with the dropping weight of 10 × 2.5 g · cm.In the sham group,the laminas were removed only,leaving spinal cord at the C7 intact.Each group was further divided into four time points:24 hours,3 days,1 week and 2 weeks after the modeling,with 10 rats in each time point,according to the specimen collection time.Rats were sacrificed at different time points to observe the pathological change of the lung tissue using optical microscope,measure the lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and protein concentrations of the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and calculate the lung W/D and lung permeability index (LPI).ResultsAt the same instant,the W/D and LPI in the astragalin group and low concentration astragalin group were lower than those in physiological saline group and blank group,with the lowest value in the astragalin group at day 3 after injury ( P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionsRats with acute cervical spinal cord injury may cause pulmonary edema,which can be efficiently alleviated through early use of astragalin.

Objective To observe the effect and safety of low dose milrinone used in patients suffering from refractory heart failure and renal dysfunction. Methods Forty-two patients with refractory heart failure and renal dysfunction were divided into treatment group(21 cases ) and control group(21 cases )by random digits table. All the patients accepted a therapy of cardiac booster, diuretics and vasodilators, and treatment group also accepted the therapy of milrinone [0.375 μ g/( kg· min), 10 mg/d, for 7 days]. And then the symptom, signs, blood pressure, heart rate, heart function and renal function before and after the treatment were observed. Results The total effective rate in treatment group was 85.7%( 18/21 ) ,significantly higher than that in control group [57.1% (12/21)] (P ＜0.05＝. After treatment,the heart rate,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,stroke volume,cardiac output and left ventricular ejection fraction in treatment group and control group improved significantly than those before treatment, and these index improved better in treatment group [(79.3 ± 12.4) beats/min vs. (85.4 ± 10.2) beats/min, ( 107.6 ± 15.4)mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) vs.( 119.1 ± 13.5 ) mm Hg, (60.8 ± 9.4) mm Hg vs. (65.8 ± 8.5 ) mm Hg,(66.3 ± 10.2 ) ml vs. (61.2 ± 9.3 ) ml, (5.3 ± 0.6 ) L/min vs. (4.8 ± 0.9) L/min, (56.6 ± 8.4 )% vs. (48.9 ±7.3)% ,P ＜ 0.05＝. In two groups,there were no statistical difference in renal function. Conclusions Low dose of milrinone can improve the heart function of the patients with refractory heart failure and renal dysfunction and has good renal safety.

Objective To investigate the possibility to create versatile system recovery disc for PACS workstation using the software Ghost 11. Methods Firstly, PACS and Windows software was installed into a PACS workstation. Secondly, S&R&S V9.7 1112F intelligent system -packaging tool and DllCacheManager_V1.6 Dllcache backup -restore tool were used to package the system. Finally, Ghost 11 was adopted to produce mirror image of the system. Results The image could recover system easily. Conclusion The system-recovery disc created by Ghost11 can significantly minimized the workload when the PACS workstation runs into error and improves the maintenance efficiency.

Objective To evaluate the clinical feasibility of performing the placement of drainage tube via transnasal route in treating mediastinal anastomotic fistula after surgery of esophageal cancer.Methods A total of 6 patients with mediastinal anastomotic fistula after surgery of esophageal cancer,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from August 2015 to January 2016,were included in this study.The diagnosis was confirmed by esophageal radiography and thoracic CT scan in all the 6 patients.Under X-ray monitoring,the drainage tube was inserted into the cavity of mediastinal fistula with the help of a guide wire guidance,and continuous negative pressure suction was adopted.The jejunum nutrition tube was inserted via the same nostril if feeding tube was not placed.Results Successful placement of fistula drainage tube and jejunum nutrition tube was achieved in all the 6 patients.In one patient the fistula drainage tube had to be re-placed as the drainage tube was obstructed five days after initial placement.Under X-ray monitoring the mean time used for the drainage tube placement was 33 min (range of 23-48 min).The procedure was well tolerated by all the 6 patients,and no procedure-related complications occurred.After continuous negative pressure suction that lasted for 6-40 days (mean of 23 days) the fistulae healed.Conclusion For the treatment of mediastinal anastomotic fistula after surgery of esophageal cancer,the placement of fistula drainage tube under X-ray monitoring is simple,safe and effective.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:250-252)

Objective To investigate the impact of LY294002 on the proliferation of cancer stem cell-enriched spheroid cells from human hepatocellular carcinoma via regulating phosphatidylinositol-3-kinaseprotein kinase B(PI3K-Akt)signaling pathway. Methods The cancer stem cell-enriched spheroid cells were genera-ted by culturing HepG2 cells in serum-free medium. LY294002(10,20,30 μmol/ L),an inhibitor of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,was used in the experimental groups,without used in the control group. The impact of LY294002 on the spheroid cells proliferation was confirmed by cell counting kit(CCK-8 kit). The expression of Akt was tested by Western blotting. The expression of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway downstream genes such as decoy receptor 3(DcR3),mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR),B-cell lymphoma(Bcl)-2 and Cyclin D1 were tested by real-time PCR. Results 30 μmol/ L LY294002 could inhibit the proliferation of spheroid cells, and significant difference in the absorbance(A value)was observed between the experimental group and control group[(0. 14 ± 0. 03)vs(0. 56 ± 0. 01),t = - 8. 915,P = 0. 000]. The expression level of phosphorylated Akt protein increased[(0. 57 ± 0. 08)vs(0. 16 ± 0. 42),t = 6. 027,P = 0. 026]. The mRNA of DcR3 [(0. 38 ± 0. 08)vs 1,t = 13. 060,P = 0. 006],mTOR[(0. 37 ± 0. 04)vs 1,t = 30. 363,P = 0. 001],Bcl-2 [(0. 26 ± 0. 04)vs 1,t = 33. 554,P = 0. 001]and Cyclin D1[(0. 10 ± 0. 02)vs 1,t = 63. 528,P = 0. 000] decreased. Conclusion LY294002 could inhibit the proliferation of cancer stem cell-enriched spheroid cells from human hepatocellular carcinoma via inhibiting PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.
