Purpose To investigate the value of three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in evaluating the cardiac function in breast cancer patients treated with Anthracycline. Materials and Methods Thirty-two breast cancer patients were followed with three-dimensional echocardiography prechemotherapy (group A), 2 cycles (group B) and 4 cycles (group B) postchemotherapy to compare left ventricle global longitudinal strain (GLS), global radial strain (GRS), global circular strain (GCS), global area strain (GAS), early diastolic global area strain rate (EASR), and early diastolic 3D velocity (3DVe). Results GCS, GAS and EASR were signiifcantly lower in group C than group A (t=3.555, 3.692 and 3.590, P<0.01);EASR was lower in group B than group A with statistical significance (t=2.190, P<0.05). GLS, GRS and 3DVe were not significantly different among three groups (F=2.305, 1.957 and 1.205, P>0.05). EASR was negatively correlated with IVRT (r=-0.44, P<0.01); EASR was positively correlated with Em (r=0.49, P<0.01) and Em/Am (r=0.32, P<0.01). GSR was positively correlated with Sm (r=0.21, P<0.05). Conclusion Three-dimensional echocardiography sensitively detects the early changes in diastole function in breast cancer patients treated with Anthracycline.

Objective To summarize the nursing care measures about patients with Epstein-Barr virus related post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (EBV-PTLD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods The nursing care measures about five patients with EBV-PTLD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from October 2014 to May 2015 were summarized and analyzed. Results After carefully treating and nursing care, three patients were discharged. One patient with exacerbations, respiratory, epilepsy, liver failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation was automatically discharged and then died. And the other patient died of other diseases. Conclusions Epstein-Barr virus infection is a complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The key points to prevention and treatment of EBV infection included monitoring regularly, diagnosing and early intervention, which was proved to be effective, timely and active.

Due to the scarcity of resources of Ziziphi spinosae semen (ZSS), many inferior goods and even adulterants are generally found in medicine markets. To strengthen the quality control, HPLC fingerprint common pattern established in this paper showed three main bioactive compounds in one chromatogram simultaneously. Principal component analysis based on DAD signals could discriminate adulterants and inferiorities. Principal component analysis indicated that all samples could be mainly regrouped into two main clusters according to the first principal component (PC1, redefined as Vicenin II) and the second principal component (PC2, redefined as zizyphusine). PC1 and PC2 could explain 91.42%of the variance. Content of zizyphusine fluctuated more greatly than that of spinosin, and this result was also confirmed by the HPTLC result. Samples with low content of jujubosides and two common adulterants could not be used equivalently with authenticated ones in clinic, while one reference standard extract could substitute the crude drug in pharmaceutical production. Giving special consideration to the well-known bioactive saponins but with low response by end absorption, a fast and cheap HPTLC method for quality control of ZSS was developed and the result obtained was commensurate well with that of HPLC analysis. Samples having similar fingerprints to HPTLC common pattern targeting at saponins could be regarded as authenticated ones. This work provided a faster and cheaper way for quality control of ZSS and laid foundation for establishing a more effective quality control method for ZSS.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and abnormal expression of the CREB in different grade gliomas. Methods The expression of CREB was examined by using immunohistochemistry in brain tissues from the brain injury (5 cases) and different grade gliomas (55 cases).The mRNA and protein levels of CREB were further as?sessed using Western blot and RT-PCR in brain tissues from the patients with brain injury (10 cases) and those with dif?ferent grade gliomas (30 cases). Results The positive rates of CREB immunohistochemistry were 2/5 in control, 10/15 inⅠ-,Ⅱ11/12 in Ⅲ, 28/28 in Ⅳ. The positive rates of CREB were significantly different among different groups (H=28.183,P<0.05).The mRNA levels of CREB were 1.00 ± 0.000 in control, 1.35 ± 0.068 inⅠ-Ⅱ, 2.88 ± 0.111 in Ⅲand 3.75 ± 0.196 in Ⅳ. The expression of CREB was higher in the glioma than in control group, and the mRNA levels of CREB were significantly different among different groups(F=1.208,P<0.05). The protein levels of CREB were 0.311 ± 0.014 in control, 0.469±0.026 inⅠ-Ⅱ, 0.641±0.028 inⅢand 0.896±0.024 inⅣ. The protein levels of CREB were sig?nificantly different among different groups(F=1.123,P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of CREB is elevated in glio?mas with different differentiation degrees. The expression of CREB was positively correlated with the degree of differentia?tion, indicating that CREB may have an important regulatory role in the progress of gliomas.

BACKGROUND:A number of studies have shown that there are many inducible methods by which bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can differentiate into hepatocytes, but the specific molecular mechanism is unclear yet. OBJECTIVE:To review the programs and underlying mechanisms by which bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s differentiate into hepatocytes. METHODS:A computer-based online search of CNKI, VIP, WanFang and PubMed databases was performed to retrieve articles about directional differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into hepatocytes published between 2004 and 2015. The key words were“hepatocyte (-like) cel s, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, differentiation”in Chinese and English, respectively. Final y, 62 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There are many programs for hepatic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, but the specific molecular mechanism is stil unclear. Many studies mainly focus on Notch signaling pathway, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, P38 signal pathway, miR-122 and effect of calcium ions. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s that can be induced to differentiate into mature hepatocytes provide an ideal cel ular source for hepatocyte transplantation and artificial liver, which is proposed to be a new strategy for clinical treatment of end-stage liver disease.

Objective To investigate the changes in histological characteristics and collagen content in uterosacral and cardinal ligaments of pefimenopausal women in relation to relaxation of pelvic supports.Methods Twenty-eight subjects undergoing hysterectomies were selected,in which 14 cases were perimenopausal women with relaxation of pelvic support as the relaxation group and 14 women at perimenopansal age with leomyoma,cervical cancer,adenomyosis as the control group.Samples of cardinal ligaments and uterosacral ligaments were obtained at hysterectomies,and the tissues were shced and stained bv Masson's trichrome technique.Histological characteristics of the samples were studied and immunohistochemistry assay was applied to demonstrate the contents of collagen types I andⅢ.Results (1)The collagen in uterosacral ligaments and cardinal ligaments were stained blue by tlle MaSson's trichome technique.In comparison to the control group,the relaxation group had milder positive stains of the collagen and the stains were distributed in unequal intensities.Collagen content was arranged in loose pattern.Focal arrangement of the collagen was dense but fragmented.Collagen fibers were atrophic. (2)In immunohistochemistry assay and image analysis,collagen was positive in light to deep brown areas.In the relaxation group,positive units of collagen types I and III in cardinal ligaments were 13.8±2.1 and 9.6±2.4 respectively.Positive units of coHagen types I and Ⅲ of cardinal ligaments in the control group were 27.4 ±3.5 and 17.7 ±4.0 respectively.Difierences between these two groups were statistically significant (P

AIM: To investigate the effect of aminoguanidine (AG) on plasma and renal levels of angiogenesis Ⅱ (AngⅡ), and to identify the relationship of AGEs with AngⅡ in STZ-induced diabetic rats. METHODS: Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups. Diabetes was induced, rats were then received AG in treatment group. At the end of 12th week, urine albumin excretion rate (UAER) and calculate creatinine clearance (Ccr) were detected. Periodic acid-Schiff reagent was used to evaluate renal pathology. Plasma and renal AngⅡ were analyzed by radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry, respectively. RESULTS: AG treatment significantly prevented the increase in UAER (P<0.01), renal pathology (P<0.01), and level of renal AngⅡ (P<0.01). However, plasma concentration of AngⅡ was higher than that in diabetic rats without AG treatment (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: AG down-regulates renal Ang Ⅱ level, probably by reducing the formation of AGEs, which may be one of the renoprotective factors in diabetic nephropathy. More proofs are needed to identify the result that plasma AngⅡ concentration increases in DMA group.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using a microsensor motion capture unit (MCU) to assess the reaching characteristics of hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Twenty-three hemiplegic stroke patients with an average age of (61 ± 11) years and ten normal subjects of matching age were asked to sit on a chair and use the affected arm (for the patients) or the right arm (for the normal subjects) to reach for a cup on a table just in front of the shoulder at arm's length away.Four small sensor boxes which could detect movement and its speed and smoothness in three dimensions were fixed to the subject's spine,upper arm,forearm and hand.The test was repeated four times after two trial runs.The average velocity,peak velocity,degree of joint dispersion,entropy of acceleration,joint coordination and active range of motion ( AROM ) of the shoulder were analyzed.The patients and normal subjects were statistically compared.The results were correlated with Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scores using Spearman correlation analysis. Results All of the measured variables showed significant differences between the patients and normal subjects.In the correlation study,the average velocity,peak velocity,AROM of the shoulder and joint coordination showed significant correlation with the Fugl-Meyer scores.There was,however,no significant correlation between degree of dispersion of the shoulder or elbow joints or the entropy of acceleration ( which represented the quality of movement) and Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scores. Conclusions The results suggest that microsensor MCUs can quantitatively assess the kinematics of reaching among hemiplegic stroke patients.They can provide valuable and objective data about the functional quality of multiple joint movements in three dimensions.

Objective To discuss the effectiveness of rehabilitation training after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Methods Seventy-four cases of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were studied.They were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group.Both groups received shoulder passive motion training after the operation.The treatment group also received 3-phase shoulder exercises for rehabilitation.changes in American shoulder & elbow surgeons' scores (ASES scores),University of California at Los Angeles shoulder scoring system scores (UCLASS),and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were assessed pre-operation,and 6 months and 1,2 and 3 years later.Results There was no difference between the groups pre-operation.After the operation,significant improvements in all the outcome measurements were observed in the treatment group.Significant improvement in VAS scores was observed only in the treatment group.Shoulder pain,mobility,range of active forward flexion,strength of forward flexion and patient satisfaction all improved significantly more in the treatment group than in the control group.Conclusions Early and systematic rehabilitation training is an effective way to improve the function of the shoulder joint after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
