Objective To explore the variation of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and glucose and correlation in children with sepsis. Methods Forty-two children with sepsis in pediatric intense care unit were enrolled from January 2009 to January 2010. In the morning (2nd morning) after admission, the blood glucose, serum IGF-I, cortisol, insulin, IL-6, and IGF-binding protein-I (IGFBP-1) were detected. In the 3rd and 5th morning, the serum IGF-1 was detected again. According to the blood glucose level of the 2nd morning, the children with sepsis were divided into hyperglycemia group and normal group. Meanwhile, 60 healthy children were served as control group. The data had been compared among three groups. Results In the 2nd morning, the levels of blood glucose, serum IGF-I, cortisol, insulin, and IL-6 were signiifcantly different among three groups (all P<0.05), but the serum IGFBP-I was not signiifcantly different (P>0.05). Compared with control group, the sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose all had signiifcantly higher serum levels of cortisol and IL-6, and signiifcantly lower serum level of IGF-I. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th morning, the serum levels of IGF-1 were not signiifcantly changed with time in sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose (all P>0.05). Meanwhile, there were no signiifcant differ-ences in the serum levels of IGF-1 between sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th morning (all P>0.05). In children with sepsis, the blood glucose and serum IGF-1 was not correlated in the next morning (r=0.152, P=0.267). Conclusions The serum level of IGF-I decreased but maintain stable in children with sepsis. The change of blood glucose may be not related with IGF-I.

Objective To investigate the variation of interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in children with sepsis and the clinical significance. Methods This was a prospective and control study. Thirty-two children diagnosed as sepsis in PICU from December 2008 to December 2009 served as the sepsis group. According to whether there was a shock, sepsis group were divided into shock subgroup and no shock subgroup. Fifteen healthy children served as control group. The serum levels of IL-6,VEGF,E-selectin and ICAM-1 were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum level of IL-6 was 65. 00(30. 49~237. 14) ng/L in shock subgroup and 48. 68(30. 25~75. 00) ng/L in no shock subgroup,which were significantly higher than that in control group[0. 80(0. 60 ~1. 00) ng/L](P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between shock subgroup and no shock subgroup. The serum levels of VEGF and E-selectin showed no significant differences among the three groups. The serum level of ICAM-1 was 998. 72(666. 93~1 526. 44) ng/ml in shock subgroup,and 925. 71(683. 53~1 225. 12) ng/ml in no shok subgroup,which were significantly high-er than that in control group[660. 59(525. 48~685. 47) ng/ml]. Compared with those who survived in sep-sis group,the serum levels of VEGF and E-selectin in the died children with sepsis showed no significant difference,but IL-6 and ICAM-1 significantly increased(P<0. 05). Conclusion IL-6 and ICAM-1 increase greatly and accentuate inflammation in septic patients,the changes of which may help to determine the prog-nosis of sepsis.

Objective To explore the efficacy and prognostic factors of postoperative intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) with or without chemotherapy in rectal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 218 patients with rectal cancer, who underwent postoperative IMRT in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2013. The Kaplan?Meier method was used to calculate survival rate;the log?rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis;the Cox regression model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis. Results The follow?up rate was 97. 7%. The 1?and 3?year overall survival rates were 90. 8% and 75. 2%, respectively, the 1?and 3?year disease?free survival rates were 85. 3% and 70. 5%, respectively, and the 1?and 3?year locoregional recurrence?free survival rates were 96. 7% and 88. 1%, respectively. The incidence of grade 3?4 acute adverse reactions was 28. 4%, mainly manifested as leukopenia ( 13. 8%) and diarrhea ( 11. 0%) . Univariate prognostic analysis showed that preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) and CA199 levels, maximum tumor diameter, tumor location, degree of differentiation, depth of tumor invasion, number of lymph node metastases, TNM stage, perineural invasion, surgical procedure, total mesorectal excision, preoperative bowel obstruction, and preoperative anemia were the predictors of survival ( P=0. 006, 0. 000, 0. 000, 0. 017, 0. 000, 0. 016, 0. 000,0. 011,0. 001,0. 006,0. 037 and 0. 010) . Multivariate prognostic analysis showed that preoperative CEA level, tumor location, TNM stage, preoperative bowel obstruction, and preoperative anemia were the predictors of survival ( P=0. 000,0. 000,0. 000,0. 001 and 0. 001) . Conclusions Postoperative IMRT with or without chemotherapy is an effective method for rectal cancer with mild adverse reactions and high compliance. Preoperative CEA level, tumor position, TNM stage, preoperative bowel obstruction, and preoperative anemia are independent prognostic factors for the overall survival.

AIM To investigate the possibility of microvolume rodent ventilator in improving the quality of global ischemia-reperfusion injury model in mice. METHDOS Global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was preduced in mice by obstructing and decompressing bilateral common carolid arteries and pressuring and decompressing cervical soft tissue, artificial respiration was performed using rodent ventilator before those procedures. EKG, ECG was detected and pathological examination. RESULTS Rodent ventilator was used to keep essential physiologic ventilative volume befer pressure, EKG change was not been found in observed duration in all animals. The suppressed cephalograph was displayed continuously in various time in ischemic and reperfusion injury. Pathological examination indicated that the damage was worse progressly in cerebral cortex and hippocampus, as times of ischemic and reperfusion prolonged. CONCLUSION Using microvolume rodent ventilator success rate and stability is increased obviously in model of global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice and mortality was decreased greatly.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula on secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. Methods: HUVECs were cultured in vitro. Bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) at concentration of 320 U/mL and Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula at concentrations of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/mL were used to culture with HUVECs. And HUVECs in blank control group were cultured with culture solution only. After 24-hour culture, the content of VEGF in supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the expression of VEGFR-2 was detected by immunocytochemical staining and Western-blotting. Results: Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula at 0.4 mg/mL, the same as bFGF, increased VEGF content in the HUVEC supernatant and the number of VEGFR-2-positive HUVECs. Expression of VEGFR-2 protein in high-dose Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula group was up-regulated as compared with the blank control group. Conclusion: Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula can promote HUVEC proliferation and secretion of VEGF, as well as the expression of VEGFR-2 protein, which may be one of the mechanisms of Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula in promoting angiogenesis.
