Objective To investigate the effect of controlled intensive blood pressure reduction on acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Eighty-eight patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage were divided into controlled blood pressure reduction group (controlled group,48 cases) and general blood pressure reduction group(general group,40 cases) by random number table method.Respectively given positive blood pressure reduction and according to the guidelines for treatment.The intracranial hematoma volume after admission,Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score,the United States national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score,surgery rate within 24 h after admission and fatality rate within 30 d after admission in two groups were compared.Results The initial blood loss between two groups had no significant difference(P ＞0.05).The intracranial hematoma volume,growth rate of intracranial hematoma,intracranial hematoma enlargement ratio in controlled group on 24 h after admission were lower than those in general group,there were significant differences [(19.3 ± 11.6) ml vs.(30.5 ± 10.9) ml,(17.8 ± 12.7)％ vs.(37.1 ±25.7)％,16.7％ (8/48) vs.47.5％ (19/40)] (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).The GCS and NIHSS score between two groups on admission and 1,7,14 d after admission had no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).The surgery rate within 24 h after admission in controlled group was lower than that in general group [8.3％ (4/48) vs.25.0％ (10/40)],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).The fatality rate within 30 d after admission between two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Cerebral hemorrhage early control of blood pressure can not change its recent neural functional recovery and reduce the fatality rate,but may be significantly delayed hematoma enlargement and reduce the rate of surgery.

The breast cancer stem cell theory provides a theoretical basis for explaining phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of breast cancer. These breast cancer stem cells(CSCs)promote tumor growth and are closely related to breast cancer intrinsic drug resistance. Therefore,targeted therapy of breast CSCs has become a hot area in basic and clinical research. There is growing evidence that nanoparticles can kill cancer by targeting breast CSCs ,such as targeted tumor stem cell-specific expressed surface markers(AL-DH1,CD44,and CD90),tumor stem cell stemness-related NOTCH,Hedgehog and TGF-βsignaling pathways. In this review,we summarized the characteristics and research status of breast CSCs ,and the application of nanotechnology in the treatment of breast cancer.In addition,we also summarized the research status of epigenetic drugs aimed to restrain the reprogramming of breast cancer cells.

The best characterized methotrexate (MTX) transporter is the reduced folate carrier (RFC),whose gene polymorphism is one of the reasons causing MTX resistance. Based on the studies in rencent years,we have known that synthesis of mutant RFC or loss of RFC transcripts and proteins results in antifolate resistance due to incomplete inhibition of cellular enzyme targets and insufficient substrate for polyglutamate synthesis. So additional human RFC structural and mechanistic studies are absolutely essential. This paper summarizes an association between the polymorphisms of RFC and MTX resistance, which can provide a basis for clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate a sonic wave device including micro-oscillator and microphone for real-time monitoring the situation of the esophageal motility of lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Methods A micro-oscillator that can actively send sound waves was located at one side of LES, and a microphone located at the other side can be to capture the sound generated from the oscillator. This device was tested in vitro by utilizing a LES simulator in quiet and noisy environment, as well as in vivo in a pilot model corresponding to moments A-D. Results In the in vitro test, the sound can be captured by the microphone, and its power strength was correlated with closing and opening of LES. The measurements showed statistically significant Pearson correlation coefficients. In the in vivo test, the LES was open and closed by an endoscope, which was monitored in real-time by another endoscope inserted into the distal stomach from the duodenum. The sound power strength corresponding to moments A-D were (-89.63 ± 0.79) dB, (-84.74 ± 0.97) dB, (-82.37 ± 1.93) dB and (-89.86 ± 0.75) dB. Conclusion The LES dynamics can be monitored by the acoustic interrogation device, which has the potential to become an effective minimally-invasive technique for studying LES dysfunction.

Objective To investigated the relationship between serum matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and carotid atherosclerosis(AS) in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 93 patients with T2DM were recruited to our study.The intima-media thickness(IMT) and plaques of carotid artery were measured.These patients were divided into 3 groups according to their IMT values: diabetes mellitus(DM) group(n=32),carotid artery intima thicken group(n=31) and carotid artery intima plaque group(n=30).At the same time,30 healthy individuals were selected as control.Serum level of MMP-9 were determined and analyzed.Results The serum MMP-9 in DM group was significantly higher than that in healthy controls([550.26±269.28]μg/L vs.[359.70±215.62]μg/L,t=2.23,P＜0.05).The serum MMP-9 level of intima thicken group(712.15±340.47)μg/L was significantly higher than that in healthy controls(t=4.53,P＜0.01) and DM group(t=2.40,P＜0.05).The serum MMP-9 level of plaque group([889.08±247.80]μg/L) was even more significantly higher than DM group(t=4.89,P＜0.01),IMT group(t=2.53,P＜0.05) and healthy controls(t=7.01,P＜0.01).Conclusion The severity of carotid atherosclerosis in T2DM is closely associated with the serum MMP-9 level.

Objective To study the incidence,risk factors and clinical features of patients with acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with sepsis were assigned to two groups according to liver function: sepsis group and acute hepatic dysfunction group. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the risk factors.The comparison of plasma endothelin-1 ( ET-1 ) and sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score between two groups was carried out.Results Of 160sepsis patients,25 (15.6％) patients were subjected to acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis.Logistic regression analysis showed that long-term indulgence in wine drunk (OR =4.102,95％ CI 1.288 -13.063 ),history of cardiac insufficiency ( OR =4.109,95％ CI 1.352 - 12.493) and hypotension ( OR =5.833,95％ CI:1.712 - 19.868 ) were the significant risk factors.Though oxygenation index ( PaO2/FiO2),platelet (PLA) and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were not different between two groups,the total bilirubin (Tbil),direct bilirubin (Dbil),creatitine (Cre),range of blood glucose variation (Rglu),lactic acid (Lac),plasma ET-1and SOFA score in acute hepatic dysfunction group were higher than those in sepsis group. Mortality rate in acute hepatic dysfunction group was higher than that in sepsis group.Conclusions Long-term drunk,history of cardiac insufficiency and hypotension are the risk factors in acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis.Elevated arterial Lac and plasma ET-1 levels,and higher SOFA score in acute hepatic dysfunction group suggest poor prognosis.

The abnormal changes of tumor suppressor genes such as deletion mutant,transcription inactivation or silence on human chromosome 3p (pter) are considered as a key step which is closely related to the tumorigenesis of several kinds of cancers,especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma,one kind of renal cancer.And on this basis,it has been confirmed that the deletion and downregulation of multiple 3p genes such as VHL,RASSF1A,SEMA3B,SETD2,PBRM1,NPRL2 and so on,play a vital important role in the tumorigenesis and development of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.And they provide a further way to explain the molecular mechanism of the tumorigenesis of kidney cancer.However,when the regulatory pathway and mechanism research of some genes are known to us,the other genes,especially those newly founded,which are still not clear and need to be further investigated.
