Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of navel acupuncture in treating lumbar spinal stenosis. Method A total of 120 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 60 cases each. The treatment group was intervened by navel acupuncture based on syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of Bulleyaconitine A tablets, 10 d as a treatment course, for successive 2 courses. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was observed before and after the intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 98.3% in the treatment group versus 76.6% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The VAS scores were significantly changed after the intervention in both groups (P<0.05); the VAS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group after the treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Navel acupuncture is an effective approach in treating lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective To construct small RNAi plasmid vectors which can suppress the expression of TITIN in Wistar rat. Methods A recombinant plasmid vector involving shRNA, which matched the base pair of rat TITIN N2B region mRNA perfectly, was constructed and transfected into normal neonatal cardiomyocytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) induced by 5-aza cytidine respectively. The expression of TITIN Z band was investigated by immunofluorescence. Results The expression of TITIN was weakened after recombinant plasmid was transfected into neonatal cardiomyocytes and MSCs induced by 5-aza cytidine. Conclusion The recombinant plasmid was constructed successfully, and it actually can block the expression of TITIN.

The relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and Zn, Cu, Ca levels in the meal and hair of urban and rural elderly people were studied. 470 subjects above 60 years old (urban 205 and rural 265), 178 males with an average age of 65.70 +/- 3.48 and 292 females with an average age of 65.90 +/- 4.02, were inquired. The BMD and Zn, Cu, Ca levels in the meal and hair were measured. The detected BMD in urban and rural female old people was significantly lower than that of the males; The contents of Ca and Zn in the meal of the urban females were significantly lower than those of the urban males; The Ca, Zn in the meal and Zn in the hair of the rural females were significantly lower than those of rural males (P < 0.05 or 0.01). The BMD, Ca intakes, Ca and Zn in the hair of the rural old people were significantly lower than those of the urban old people (P < 0.05 or 0.01). There was a correlation between BMD with the Ca, Zn of the hair and dietary Ca, Zn, Cu or between dietary Zn with Ca, Zn in the hair and Ca, Cu intakes. The Zn, Cu and Ca levels in the meal nutrients were correlated with BMD to some degrees. Lack of Ca and Zn in the meal can cause the reduction of BMD.

AIM: To investigate the effect of single immunoglobin IL-1 receptor related protein (SIGIRR) on damage of alveolar epithelial cells in acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide. METHODS: The acute alveolar epithelial cell injury model was constructed by stimulation of A549 cells with LPS. In order to over-express SIGIRR, the A549 cells were transferred with eukaryotic expression vector containing full length SIGIRR cDNA. The transcriptional activity of NF-κB was measured by dual-luciferase reporter assay system. The concentrations of IL-1β, TNF- α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. The levels of these inflammatory factors between the transfected cells and untransfected cells were compared. RESULTS: The over-expression of SIGIRR inhibited the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. The increases in IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations in alveolar epithelial cells induced by LPS were observed. CONCLUSION: SIGIRR in alveolar epithelial cells inhibits TLR4 signals triggered by LPS and attenuates the inflammatory reactions in alveolar epithelial cells, which plays a protective role against the acute damage of the alveolar epithelial cells.

Objective To report the clinical observation and nursing points for recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with MINE regimen. Methods Patients (46 cases) with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were given mental nursing,preparation and evaluation of the condition of patients before chemotherapy. Complications especially extravasation of infusion fluid should be prevented during chemotherapy and myelosuppression and long-term complications should be prevented after treatment. Results No patient died after treatment but several complications such as infection(14 cases), nausea and vomiting (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 22 cases, grade Ⅲ,2 cases), alopecia (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 27 cases), mucositis (grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ, 4 cases), liver function lesion (grade Ⅱ, 1 case) were found and improved after proper treatment. No nephrotoxicity and hemorrhagic cystitis were found. Conclusions Selective mental nursing,proper chemotherapy preparation,evaluation of patients' condidtion and positively prevention of chemotherapy-related complications could increase the chemotherapy effect of patients with recurrent or refractory and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Objective To evalue the ability of detecting the resistance of cefoxitin-sensitive,penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus by different methods and analyze the antibiotic susceptibility spectrum of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus which are non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistance. Methods All the isolates were collected from Huashan hospital between 2007 and 2009. The isolates were recovered from various clinical sources, including respiratory tract, urine, secretion and sterile fluids samples. The oxacillin susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus was determined by cefoxitin disk diffusion test, cefoxitin MIC test,oxacillin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test Likewise, the oxacillin susceptibility of coagulasenegative Staphylococcus was determined by cefoxitin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test. All the isolates with sensitive to cefoxitin were screened for the mec A gene by PCR Finally, the MIC of non-mecA-mediated oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus were determined. Results Among 255 cefoxitin disk diffusion test sensitive and penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, 6 isolates were intermediated to oxacillin and 4 were resistant by oxacillin disk diffusion test, but all the isolates were sensitive by the cefoxitin disk diffusion test,cefoxitin MIC test and oxacillin MIC test. Among 75 cefoxitin disk diffusion test sensitive and penicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, 16 isolates were resistant to oxacillin by oxacillin MIC method and 4 carried mecA gene. Among 12 non-mecA-mediated oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus, the susceptible isolates of gentamicin is 10, clindamycin is 8, ciprofloxacin is 11, erythrornycin is 6, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazo]e is 11 ,and cephalosporins, teicoplaninl, vancomycin, piperacillin/tazobactam, tetracycline are all 12. Conclusions The cefoxitin disk diffusion test can reliably predict mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It would be best to combine cefoxitin disk diffusion test and oxacillin MIC test to improve accuracy of detection of mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus.Furthermore, infections due to the non-mecA-mediated oxacillin resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus can be treated by penicillinase-stable penicillins, β-lactam/β-lactam inhibitor combinations, relevant cephems and carbapenems.

Objective To detect the expression of β-catenin in the tissues of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), and to discuss its function in PCNSL.Methods The paraffin embedded tissues from 10 patients diagnosed as PCNSL from October 2010 to April 2012 were collected as the experimental group.The paraffin embedded tissues from 10 patients with lymphadenitis were collected as the control group.Quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemical method were used to detect the expression of β-catenin in these tissues, and the relationships between β-catenin and clinical data were analyzed.Results Immunohistochemistry results showed that β-catenin protein was localized in the cytoplasm and (or) nucleus.Among 10 PCNSL patients, β-catenin protein was positive in 4 patients, while it was no positive in all of 10 lymphadenitis patients, with the significant differences between both groups (P ＜ 0.05).The β-catenin gene relative expression level was 4.70±0.57 and 1.00±0.27 in the experimental group and the control group, respectively.β-catenin expression was no correlation to age, PS score, cerebrospinal fluid protein level and serum lactate dehydrogenase level of patients with PCNSL.Conclusions Whether in mRNA level or in protein level, β-catenin expression is always high in PCNSL tissues, and its protein is expressed in the cytoplasm, however, this phenomenon was not observed in the tissue of lymphadenitis.
