AIM: To clone P1 and P3 promoters of the human insulin-like growth factor Ⅱ(IGF-Ⅱ) gene. METHODS: According to the complete DNA sequence of IGF-Ⅱ gene, the nested primer PCR was performed for amplifying P1 and P3 promoter fragments of the gene from human L-02 cell line.These PCR products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis, and cloned by using TOPO TA Cloning kit. The positive clones containing P1 and P3 fragments were selected and confirmed by sequencing.RESULTS: The DNA sequences of P1 and P3 promoters cloned were accordant with GenBank data. CONCLUSION: In this study P1 and P3 promoters of the IGF-II gene were cloned successfully.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment value of laparoscopic surgery in tubal obstruction infertility patients with endometriosis.Methods Retrospective analysis was done in 381 cases underwent laparoscopic treatment for tubal obstruction from May 2005 to May 2010,,of which 119 cases were combined with endometriosis.The treatment results were analyzed,including the decomposition of the umbrella side tubal obstruction adhesions,lesions of endometriosis electrocoagulation,endometriosis cystectomy and pregnancy and so on.Results Hysterosalpingography(HSG)showed tubal occlusion in both side or one side in the distal end in 381 cases,and these patients were treated with laparoscopic surgery.There were 262 cases showed distal tubal occlusion not companied with endometriosis,of which 82 cases clinically pregnanced,accounting for 31.3％.Surgical treatment of endometriosis found in 119 cases,accounting for 31.2％ ; and 29 cases pregnaced,which accounted 24.4％.We found 42 cases of tubal adhesions grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ and endometriosis stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,16 cases of clinical pregnancy,accounting for 38.1％ ;Twenty-six cases of tubal adhesions grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ and endometriosis stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,7 cases of clinical pregnancy,accounting for 26.9％ ;Twenty-eitht cases of tubal adhesions grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and endometriosis stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,4 cases of clinical pregnancy,accounting for 14.3％ ;Twenty-three cases of tubal adhesions grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and endometriosis stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,2 cases of clinical pregnancy,accounting for 8.7％.The clinical pregnancy rate in the first group was significantly higher than the other groups,chnical pregnancy rate of the last group was the lowest.Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is an effective treatment of tubal obstruction infertility combined with endometriosis.After laparoscopic surgery,the clinical pregnancy rate is significantly higher in Tubal obstruction without endometriosis than patients with endometriosis.After surgery,the clinical pregnancy rate in patients with the light stage tubal adhesions and endometriosis is better than those severely.

To study the protective effect and the mechanism of asiatic acid (AA) from Potentilla chinensis on alcohol hepatic injury in rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: the normal control group, the AA control group (8 mg · kg(-1) AA), the model group (5.0-9.0 g · kg(-1) alcohol) and high, medium and low-dose AA-treated groups (alcohol + 8, 4, 2 mg · kg(-1) AA). Each group was orally administered with the corresponding drugs once a day for 24 weeks. Approximately 1. 5 hours after the final administration, all rats were killed, and their blood samples and hepatic tissues were collected. The AST and ALT in rat serum and the contents of MPO, TNF-α, IL-1β, SOD, GSH-Px, GSH-Rd and MDA in hepatic tissues were detected. The expressions of NF-κB, TLR4, CD14, MyD88, TRIF and protein expression in hepatic tissues were measured by western blot. The pathological changes in liver tissues were observed by histological examination. The results showed that compared with the model group, the AA-treated groups showed significant decreases in serum ALT, AST and MDA and increases in the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, GSH-Rd and MPO. Moreover, AA markedly inhibited the expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, TLR4, CD14, MyD88 and NF-κB. The histological examination showed alleviated hepatic issue ijury to varying degrees. In short, asiatic acid (AA) from P. chinensis could protect alcohol-induced hepatic injury in rats. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB inactivation and the reduction of inflammatory response.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the efficacy on low back pain of cold-damp pattern between electric-thermal Bian-stone therapy and moxibustion box therapy.

METHODSForty-one cases of low back pain of cold-damp pattern were randomized into an electric-thermal Bian-stone therapy group (group A, 26 cases) and a box moxibustion therapy group (group B, 15 cases). In the group A, the electric-thermal Bian-stone was placed over Shenshu (BL 23) and Weizhong (BL 40). The temperature of stone was adjusted in accordance with patient's comfort. In the group B, moxibustion box was used over Shenshu (BL 23) and Weizhong (BL 40). The treatment was given once every day or every two days. Ten treatments made one session. The symptom and physical signs score of low back pain and the score of cold-damp syndrome were observed before and after treatment in the patients.

RESULTSThe symptom and physical signs score of low back pain and the score of cold-damp syndrome were all improved in the two groups (all P < 0.01). The changing rate of symptom and physical signs and syndrome were (37.04 +/- 32.68)% and (22.85 +/- 29.95)% in the group A, and were (47.29 +/- 22.08)% and (23.89 +/- 22.53)% in the group B, respectively, without significant difference in comparison between the two groups (all P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe efficacy on low back pain of cold-damp pattern treated with the electric-thermal Bian-stone therapy is similar to that of moxibustion box therapy. This therapy is characterized as more convenient, safer operation and less pollution.

The leukocytic phagocytosis rate and the index of phagocytosis of rats on cross-linked agar beads entrapped attapulgite clay (CAA) hemoperfusion were studied. The results revealed that the leukocytic phagocytosis rate and the index of phagocytosis descended significantly after 1 hour and rose gradually after 6 hours. Finally it reached the normal level after 48 hours. Hemoperfusion repeated two times gave similar results. In conclusion, the function of leukocytic phagocytosis declined temporarily during CAA hemoperfusion. Many times hemoperfusion will not notably affect the body's defense system of rats.

Fluid therapy has been the focus of attention and dispute. In this paper, there are three aspects including postoperative bowel function, surgical prognosis, and acute diffuse peritonitis. Colloidal supplement and appropriate crystal/colloid ratio should be noted in low perfusion conditions. The different types of fluid in recent studies did not show a significant difference in the long term. The new evidence will be noted in fluid therapy among 2012 SSC Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Guideline update (unpublished).
