Objective To culture human pituitary adenoma cells to provide some useful experimental foundations to practice pituitary adenoma cells as donor cells in the extracranial implantation. Methods Human pituitary adenoma cells obtained by operation were cultured in vitro, and their growth state was dynamically observed. Immunohistochemical staining and RIA were used to evaluate their functional status. Results The cultured pituitary adenoma cells still had secretory function in vitro. 6 cases of GH adenoma cells secreted a large amount of GH, 5 cases of PRL adenoma cells secreted a large amount of PRL, and 3 cases of pituitary adenoma cells without function could also secrete a small quantity of FSH, LH and PRL. Conclusion 14 cases of cultured human pituitary adenoma cells had secretory function in vitro, which provides the useful experimental data to perform extracranial implantation with pituitary adenoma cells as donor cells.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formula of piribedil hydrochloride orally disintegrating tablets and to investigate their related indexes.METHODS:Taking the contents of crospovidone(PVP XL)(disintegrating agent),amylum pregelatinisatum(loading agent) and Gum Acacia(glidant) as factors,the disintegrating time(td),the wet time(t) and the suspend stability(?A) as the evaluate indexes to carry on the orthogonal experimental to optimize the formula.The dissolution curve of the optimized formula was drawn.RESULTS:The optimized formula for the piribedil hydrochloride orally disintegrating tablets were as follows:the contents of crospovidone(PVP XL),amylum pregelatinisatum and Gum Acacia were 15%,20%,and 15% respectively.The prepared orally disintegrating tablets disintegrated completely within 30s and dissolved basically within 2min.CONCLUSION:The prepared preparation can meet the related standards specified of China Pharmacopeia.

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of vector-based RNA interference(RNAi) on the expression of melanoma associated antigen A3(MAGEA3) protein in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and on apotposis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.METHODS: A vector for transcribing specific small hairpin RNA(shRNA) targeting MAGEA3 gene was constructed,introduced into hepatocellular carcinoma MEL-ED1 cells by Lipofectamine 2000.The MAGEA3 protein and mRNA expression levels of MEL-ED1 cells were detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR, respectively.The cell apoptosis was studied by DNA fragmentation,electron microscopy,TUNEL assay,and annexin V/PI staining.RESULTS: The vector of RNA interference was successfully constructed and MAGEA3 expression was descreased significantly in MEL-ED1 cells.After the shRNA expression vector was transfected into the MEL-ED1 cells,the expression of MAGEA3 gene was inhibited significantly(by 90%).DNA fragmentation,electron microscopy and TUNEL assay showed classic apoptosis characters in the MEL-ED1 cells transfected with pSilencer-MAGEA3 plasmid with an apoptosis rate of 21.41% ?1.98%,significantly higher than those in the negative control group transfected with pSilencer-neo and in the non-transfected group(both P

Objective:To investigate the application of Xiyanping injections ( XYP) in the bone surgery department inpatients in a certain hospital to provide reference for the clinical rational medication. Methods:A retrospective investigation was adopted to randomly survey 180 hospitalized medical recorders with XYP from a certain hospital in 2013. The usage, dosage and medication purpose of XYP were analyzed. Results:The reasonable rate of usage and dosage of XYP was 97. 2%. Among the surgical patients, 82. 8% were giv-en XYP, and among them, 97. 3% was accordance with the medication purpose. Among the nonsurgical patients, 17. 2% were given XYP, and among them, 71. 0% was accordance with the medication purpose. The alone-use rate was 60. 0% and the rate of combina-tion with antibacterials was 40. 0%. The longest treatment course was 20d, the shortest one was 1 d, and the mean value was (7. 7 ± 5. 3) d. Conclusion:Irrational use of XYP exists in clinics, and the use should be strengthened and regulated.

Objective To evaluate quantitative examination of urinary sediment bacteria as a basic feasibility of screening indicators for urinary tract infection .Methods 191 outpatients and inpatient specimens were gathered firstly to implement a urine culture ,and then the rest of the urine were used for sediment bacteria quantitative testing .Meanwhile ,bacterial culture was conducted as the standard .According to the results of bacterial culture ,receiver operating characteristic(ROC) was drawn ,the threshold values of leukocyte and bacteria counts for diagnosis of urinary tract infection were found out and its sensitivity ,specificity ,positive / negative predictive value ,false positive/false negative rate and accuracy were calculated .Results The positive rate of urine culture was 39 .7% ,and the most common pathogen was Escherichia coli .The threshold value of bacteria and leukocyte counts for diagnosis of urinary tract infection was 1 024 .5/μL and 135 .8/μL respectively .When combined leukocyte and bacteria counts for urinary tract infection ,the optimum sensitivity was 62 .5% ,specificity was 98 .1% ,positive predictive value was 95 .7% ,negative predictive value was 79 .6% ,false positive rate was 1 .9% ,false negative rate was 37 .5% ,and accuracy was 83 .8% .Conclusion With UF‐1000i urinary sediment analyzer ,the combined determination of leukocyte and bacteria counts can remove the great mass of negative results ,Especially the results of bacterial culture positive predictability is higher ,but still can not replace of quantitative bacterial culture .

Objective To investigate the functional activity and connectivity of the insular cortex at rest in persons with low back pain (LBP).Methods Twelve healthy subjects (male 6,female 6 ; age 24.8 ± 3.3 years) were given fMRI 3.0T scans at rest.Back muscle pain was then induced with an intramuscular injection of 3％ hypertonic saline solution and a second scan was performed.The pain-free and in-pain fMRI data were compared using paired t-tests to highlight any changes in the functional connectivity of the anterior and posterior insular cortex on both sides.Pain severity was quantified using a visual analogue scale (VAS).Results Ratings of LBP severity peaked at 6.02 ± 1.96 on the VAS.The functional connectivity of the inferior insular cortex with the frontal cortex,the thalamus and the parahippocampal gyrus was enhanced when the subjects were in pain,but connectivity with the posterior cingulate cortex,the precuneus,the temporal cortex,the paracentral lobule and the cerebellar tonsil was reduced.The inferior parietal lobule exhibited significantly enhanced connectivity with the anterior insular cortex,but reduced connectivity with the posterior insular cortex.In addition,the medial cingulate cortex displayed decreased functional connectivity with the anterior insular cortex,but increased functional connectivity with the posterior insular cortex when the subjects were in pain.Conclusion This study has revealed impeded functional connectivity of the insular cortex when experiencing LBP at rest.This may possibly be related to pain's disruption of cognition and emotion.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of acupuncture combined with huanglian wendan decoction on the mild cognitive impairment after stroke.Methods:100 patients with mild cognitive impairment after stroke were enrolled in our hospital from June 2013 to August 2016 and randomly divided into two groups.The control group (n=50) accepted nimodipine,and the study group (n=50)accepted huanglian wendan decoction combined with acupuncture treatment based on the control group.The MMSE and MSSS scores were evaluated and compared,and the improvement of cognitive dysfunction and nervous dysfunction,quality of life were compared and analyzed.Results:After treatment,the MMSE,ADL scores of patients were remarkably decreased compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05),and the decreasing degree of study group was significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05).The MSSS,MBI scores of both groups were significantly increased compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05),and the increasing degree of study group was significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05).The effective rates of improvement in cognitive dysfunction and nervous dysfunction,quality of life of study group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions:Huanglian wendan decoction combined with acupuncture treatment was effective for the mild cognitive impairment after stroke and could improve the quality of life.
