Objective To observe the effects of the compatibility of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis in different proportion on hemodynamic and balance of Th1/Th2 cells of Qi deficiency and blood stasis rat model. Methods Qi deficiency and blood stasis rats were caused by restricted diet, forced swimming and norepinephrine subcutaneous injecting, and treated by compatibility of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis in different proportion of 5∶1, 3∶1, 1∶1 and 1∶2 for 21 days. The indexes of hemorheology were detected with hemorheological analyser, and the level of IFN-γand IL-4 in serum were tested by ELISA. Results Compared with model group, the compatibility of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis in proportion of 1∶1, 3∶1 and 5∶1 groups reduced the low shear blood viscosity. The spleen index of model group decreased, and compatibility of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis in 5∶1 proportion group increased spleen index. The level of IL-4 increased and IFN-γ decreased in the serum of model group, the compatibility of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis in proportion of 3∶1 group increased the level of IFN-γ. Astragalus angelica 5∶1 group decreased the level of IL-4 and increased the level of IFN-γ. Conclusion The compatibility of Radix Astragali and Radix Angelicae Sinensis can improve hemorheology, adjust the balance of Th1/Th2 cells of Qi deficiency and blood stasis rats. The effects were better when Radix Astragali’s dosage greater than that of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, and the group of 5∶1 proportion was the best.

Objective To observe the effect of BSD 2000 deep thermotherapy plus chemotherapy in treatment of malignant seroperitoneum of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients with drug resistance.Methods 36 advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients with malignant seroperitoneum for drug resistance were randomly divided into two groups,trial group (18 cases) and control group (18 cases).Cases in trial group were treated with BSD 2000 deep thermotherapy plus GT regimen (gemcitabine 1 000 mg/m2 iv d1,d8,taxinol 80 mg/m2 ip d1,d8.28 days for a cycle),while control group with GT regimen alone.Effect,survival time (median) toxicity and Karnofsky score were evaluated after 2 cycles.Results Response rate (RR) was strongly higher in trial group compared with control group [55.6 ％ (10/18) vs 22.2 ％ (4/18),P ＜ 0.05],the same to disease control rate (DCR),but there was not significant difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The improvement rate of Karnofsky score in trial group was higher than that in control group,which had no significance (P ＞ 0.05).The toxicity were similar in both groups,which had no stage 3 to 4 side-effect.The differences of survival time (median) and survival rate had no statistical significance between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion It is useful to eliminate seroperitoneum,improve quality of life and decrease the toxicity for the regimen of BSD 2000 deep thermotherapy plus chemotherapy in treatment of malignant seroperitoneum of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients with drug resistance.

Different from the traditional teaching method, PBL (Problem-Based Learning) teaching mode is emphasized to foster the students' skills in spontaneous study and problem solving and the analyzing and comprehensive thinking ability. The authors believe that in the application of the PBL teaching method, the teachers' functions should be stressed on how to select the initial moment, provide the topics, excite the interesting points, search information,make comments and evaluate the students' ability, i.e. to offer fish and teach how to catch fish as well.

Objective To find the liver cancer specific peptide for serological screen of liver cancer patients via screening phage-display peptide library. Methods Fifteen sera from liver cancer patients and physical examinates were collected for the four-round screening with Ph. D. 12TM phage display peptide kit. Highly specific phage monoclones were selected based on the ELISA results of the serological assay. The peptide labeled with FITC was synthesized according to the DNA sequencing of the optimal monoclone and tested with serum via fluorescent imagery. Results Nine highly specific monoclones were found among 50 selected ones after 4 rounds of screenings. The positive rate of the optimal monoclone,ZH-3, reached 46.7 %. The peptide sequence of ZH-3 was concluded by DNA sequencing as SAHGTSTGVPWP. Desirable specificity and affinity were also shown in the serum of liver cancer patients. Conclusion The peptide ZH-3 can be used as a diagnostic reagent for liver cancer.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncutre at Tianzhu point on the expressions of bcl-2 and bcl-XL in the degenerative cervical intervertebral disc of rats. Methods: Forty SD male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, sham surgery group, model group, Western medicine group and electroacupuncture group, there were 10 rats in each group. Except for rats in the sham surgery group, rats in the other groups were made to be of cervical intervertebral disc degeneration by unbalanced dynamic and static forces. Rats in the electroacupunture group were treated with electroacupuncture at Tianzhu (BL 10) and Dazhu (BL 11) points, while rats in the Western medicine group with Fenbid, and rats in the model group were not treated. After 30-day treatments, the expressions of bcl-2 and bci-XL were observed with immunohisto-chemical method in the cervical intervertebral disc. Results: The expression of bcl-2 was higher in the electroacupuncture, sham surgery, and western medicine groups than that in the model group (P<0.01), whereas, there was no difference among these three groups. The expression of bcl-XL in the electroacupuncture group was lower than that in the sham surgery group (P<0.01), and higher than those in the Western medicine group and model group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Electroacupuncture treatment can enhance the expressions of bcl-2 and bcl-XL, which may be the mechanism of delaying the cell apoptosis in the intervertebral disc to treat diseases.

AIM:To investigate the role of peripheral blood leukocytes and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) on intestinal injury following mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in rats. METHODS: Twenty adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-230 g, were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (CON) consisting of 10 rats was subjected to laparotomy and separation of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) only. The ischemia/reperfusion (IR) group consisting of 10 rats, was subjected to laparotomy, followed by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) by an atraumatic microvascular clamp for 30 min. At the end of ischemic period in IR, the microvascular clamp was removed and the intestinal segment was reperfused for 60 min. The pathological changes of the ileal mucosal tissue were evaluated. The apoptosis of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells was examined by terminal deoxylnucleotidy-l transferase mediated-dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL). The enzymatic activity of casapse-3 in mucosal cells was determined using a colorimetric assay. The percentages of apoptotic peripheral blood leukocytes and PMNs were measured by flow cytometry using Annexin-V/PI double staining assay. The numbers of peripheral blood leukocytes in each animal was measured at baseline, 30 min of ischemia, and 30 min and 60 min of reperfusion. RESULTS: (1) Compared to CON group animals, the most severe mucosal injury was observed in IR group under optical microscope. (2) The number of apoptotic mucosal epithelia cells and enzymatic activity of caspase-3 were significantly higher in IR than those in CON group (P

AIM: To examine the expression of CD69 on NK cells at the fetomaternal interface in CBA/J?DBA/2 mice as a model of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), and to evaluate the effects of lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) on the level of CD69 expression and the relationship with the outcomes of murine fetuses and pups. METHODS: The outcomes of murine fetuses and pups were evaluated in breeding pairs of CBA/J?DBA/2, C57BL/6?DBA/2 and BALB/c?DBA/2 mice. Both preweaning growth curves and Kaplan-Meier survival graphs of pups were constructed throughout postnatal days 1 to 21. In addition, the level of CD69 expression on NK cells at the fetomaternal interface with and without LIT were determined by two-color flow cytometric analysis, stained with PE-CD69 and FITC-DX5. The subpopulation of CD16/CD32 + NK cells was also evaluated. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were observed between CBA/J?DBA/2 mice and normal fertile controls in the median increase of maternal weight during pregnancy, the number of pups born per litter, the median neonatal weight on postnatal day 1, and the resorption rate of fetuses. The proportion of CD69 +DX5 + cells which represents activated NK cells was significantly higher in CBA/J?DBA/2 mice compared with normal fertile controls, while efficient LIT was able to dramatically decrease the expression of CD69 on NK cells at the fetomaternal interface and this was associated with the decrease of resorption rate accordingly. CONCLUSION: The fraction of CD69 +DX5 + cells seems to be functionally important in the mechanisms by which the embryos were rejected, whereas efficient LIT is capable of reducing the abortion rate via decreasing the expression of CD69 molecules on NK cells at the fetomaternal interface.

Objective To understand the genotyping of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Yunnan Province, and to analyze the differences in viral load, biochemical indicators, and blood routine indicators among different genotypes, in order to provide a laboratory basis for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of HIV/HCV co-infected patients. Methods From November 2022 to June 2023, the serum samples and basic information of patients diagnosed with HIV/HCV co-infection were collected in the antiviral outpatient clinic of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases. The HCV viral load was detected by one-step qRT-PCR amplification, the positive samples were sequenced, and genotyping was determined based on NS5 gene sequence. The differences in biochemical and blood routine indexes between HIV patients co-infected with different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads were analyzed. Results A total of 126 HIV/HCV co-infected patients were collected, including 20 HCV genotype 1 (15.9%), 91 HCV genotype 3 (72.2%), and 15 HCV genotype 6 (11.9%). The maximum and minimum viral load of the three HCV genotypes were as follows: HCV type 1 (1.0×108, 4.8×104 IU/mL), HCV type 3 (2.2×108, 2.9×102 IU/mL), and HCV type 6 (8.1×107, 6.8×104 IU/mL). The results showed that there was no significant difference between HIV co-infection with different genotypes of HCV and three HIV treatment schemes, including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+integrase strand transfer inhibitors (NRTIs+INSTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs+NNRTIs) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+protease inhibitor (NRTIs+PLs), and the viral load of patients (P>0.05). The analysis of biochemical indexes such as total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and blood routine indexes such as white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), platelet (PLT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) among different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads showed that there was no significant difference in biochemical indexes and blood routine indexes between low/high viral loads of HIV co-infected HCV patients (P>0.05); however, the biochemical indicators TBIL, IBIL and MCHC were significantly different statistically between patients with genotype 3 HCV infection and those with genotype 1 HCV infection (P<0.05), while other biochemical and blood routine indexes were not statistically different among different HCV genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions There are six subtypes of HCV co-infection in HIV patients in Kunming, Yunnan Province, including three genes of genotype 1, 3, and 6. Among them, genotype 3 HCV is the main prevalent genetic virus among HIV co-infected populations. The TBIL, IBIL and MCHC values of HIV patients co-infected with HCV type 3 are different from those infected with HCV type 1.
