ObjectiveTo study the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on the pathological changes of rat optic nerve injury. MethodsThe model of rat optic nerve injury was established, the rats were divided into the experimental group and control group,intraperitonealiy injected ginsenosides Rgl (10mg/kg) to experimental group of rats for 20days ,meanwhile intraperitonealiy injected the same volume of saline to the control group,took eyeball and optic nerve from the optic nerve injury eye and the normal eye in both groups ,HE staining,SABC immunohistochemical staining of Bcl-2, neurocan were analyzed. ResultsHE staining results showed the morphological difference on optic nerve cells from control group and the optic nerve injury group. Immunohistochemistry showed the neuronal cell apoptosis was significantly increased after optic nerve injury. The intraperitoneal injection of ginsenoside Rg1 could significantly improve the situation of cell apoptosis. The significant increment of fiber protein may be partly related to the improvement of cell apoptosis, but the principle was not clear. ConclusionGinsenoside Rg1 had protective effect on rat optic nerve injury.

Objective To explore the role of IL-18 in the pathogenesis of chronic eczema. Methods Twenty-seven patients with chronic eczema were enrolled into this study along with 12 normal human controls. The severity of eczema was evaluated by eczema area and severity index (EASI) in patients. Skin specimens and vein blood samples were obtained from all the subjects. Reverse-transcription PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of IL-18 and IFN-γ in the skin tissue, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure the protein expression of IL-18 and IFN-γ in the sera of these subjects. Results The mRNA expression level in patients and controls was 1.04±0.29 pg/mL and 0.52±0.15 pg/mL for IL-18, respectively, 0.96±0.34 pg/mL and 0.47±0.12 pg/mL for IFN-γ, respectively; a significant increase was observed in the mRNA expression level of both IFN-γ and IL-18 in the patients than in the controls (both P<0.01). Moreover, the mRNA expression level of both IFN-γ and IL-18 positively correlated with the severity of eczema in patients (r=0.737, 0.883, both P<0.01). The protein expression level of IL-18 and IFN-γ was 475.8±59.4 pg/mL and 10.1±7.0 pg/mL, respectively, in the patients, 123.6 ±29.5 pg/mL and 11.1±3.4 pg/mL, respectively, in the controls; a statistical difference was observed in the protein expression level of IL-18 (P<0.01), but not in that of IFN-γ(P>0.01), between the patients and controls. No significant correlation was observed betweenthe serum level of IL-18 or IFN-γ and sererity of eczema in the patients (both P>0.01). Conclusions IL-18 may be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic eczema. Also, in local lesions, IL-18 seems to correlate with the induction of production of Th1 type cytokines, such as IFN-γ which could subsequently mediate hypersensitivity response.

Objective To explore the clinical treatment of patients with stage Ⅲ carcinoma of colon and rectum by tegafur chemotherapeutic drugs combined with standardized adjuvant therapy. Methods The data of 60 cases of carcinoma of colon and rectum treated in Wenzhou Central hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were collected. The patients were divided into three groups, non standardized adjuvant treatment group of 18 cases, standardized adjuvant treatment group of 15 cases and tegafur drug combined with standardized treatment group of 27 cases. Recorded and compared the survival rate of the three groups within three years, the statistics of each group of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rate (OS). According to the duration of treatment group, the use of oxaliplatin combined with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (FOLFOX) treatment, analyzed and recorded OS and DFS. Follow-up examinations were performed in patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy. Recorded and compared the OS and DFS of each group. Results Tegafur drug combined with standardized treatment group DFS and OS were significantly higher than the other two groups, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In addition, when treated with FOLFOX regimen, the DFS and OS of group Ⅲ were significantly higher than those of groupⅠand groupⅡ, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the follow-up survey of three groups, the rates of recurrence and death in patients treated with tegafur drug combined with standardized treatment group were significantly lower than those in the non standardized adjuvant treatment group and the standardized adjuvant treatment group. Conclusion Tegafur combined with adjuvant therapy can significantly improve the standardization of the rate of carcinoma of colon and rectum and the rate of disease-free survival, it is suggested that doctors use chemotherapy combined with auxiliary standardized therapy, can significantly improve the survival of patients, and reduce the risk of disease recurrence rate.

Objective To observe the histopathologic injury of small intestine and intestinal permeability in chronic renal failure (CRF) rats. Methods Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to CRF group (n=10) and control group (n=10). 5/6 nephrectomy was used to establish CRF rats, while sham operation for control. Blood biochemistry was regularly monitored until CRF model was successfully established. The model rats were fed with lactulose (L) and mannitol (M) through intragastric administration. Urine was collected after 6 hours, and the concentration of lactulose and mannitol in urine was measured using high pressure liquid chromatograph with refractive index detector (HPLC-RID), and the ratio of urinary excretion of L/M was calculated to evaluate intestinal permeability. Small intestinal mucosa were stained by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and observed with light microscope (villus height, thickness of muscle layer and villus count), histological damage score was used to evaluate intestinal injury. Results The L/M ratio of CRF group was higher than that of control group (1.75±0.11 vs 1.20±0.06, P<0.01). The small intestinal mucosal villus height and thickness of muscle layer in CRF group were higher (P<0.01), and the number of villi was lower compared to control group (P<0.01). The score of histopathologic intestine damage of CRF group was higher than that of control group (1.00±0.71 vs 0, P<0.01). Conclusion The intestinal permeability of CRF rats is increased with varying degrees of intestinal damage.
