Objective To discussion the effect of endoscopic single nostril transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection on improving clini-cal symptoms and related quality of life of patients. Methods Selected 114 cases of patients with pituitary tumors in our hospital from August 2013 to August 2015, and randomly divided them into the nasal endoscopic group and the microscopic group according to the random number table,with 57 patients in each group. Patients of the 2 groups were treated with nasal endoscopic and microscopic single nostril transsphenoi-dal pituitary tumor resection respectively. The operation situation,hormone decline,incidence of complications after surgery and SNOT-20 and VAS score of the two groups were compared. Results Operative time of nasal endoscopic group was significantly higher than that in the mi-croscopic group,whlie the blood loss,length of hospital stay in endoscopic group was significantly lower than the microscopic group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The total resection rate of pituitary tumor of the two groups were of no statistically signifi-cance (P>0. 05). One week after operation,cerebrospinal fluid cell count,cerebrospinal fluid protein,adrenocorticotropic hormone,serum chloride,sodium, growth hormone,and prolactin levels of the nasal endoscopic group were lower than the microscopic group (P<0. 05). The complication rate was 14. 9% in the nasal endoscopic group,which was obviously lower than 59. 6% in the microscopic group (P<0. 05). One week after operation,the SNOT-20 scores and VAS scores were increased in both of the two groups,but the microscopic group increased more significantly (P<0. 05). Conclusion Endoscopic single nostril transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection surgery cost longer operation time,but it lead to less trauma and less postoperative complications,which may delay the decline of patients’ quality of life and promote the improvement of prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of hydrogen rich-saline (HRS) on intestinal mucosal barrier in rat with intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IIRI).Methods:Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, were randomly divided into 3 groups (8 in each group) by random number table method: sham group, model group and HRS group.Rats in HRS group were intraperitoneally injected with HRS (10 mL/kg) at 30 min of ischemia, and the same amount of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected in model group.After 45 min of ischemia and 6 h of reperfusion, rats were sacrificed.Serum and ileum were collected for further detection.Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)- 1β and IL-17A expression levels in serum were detected by conducting enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The localization expressions of tight junction protein Occludin was detected by immunohistochemical staining (IHC), while the localization expression of tight junction protein zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1) were detected by immunofluorescence staining (IF). The protein expression of Occludin, ZO-1, and Lysozyme were detected by performing Western blot.The mRNA expression of Lysozyme and α-defensin were detected by real-time PCR (qPCR).Results:ELISA results proved that the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-1β in HRS group rats were significantly lower than those in model group [(62.02±29.97) ng/L vs.(113.40±44.58) ng/L, (21.68±0.35) ng/L vs.(28.29±3.49) ng/L], while the level of IL-17A increased [(28.18±5.28) ng/L vs. (15.10±3.60) ng/L] (all P<0.05). IHC staining: compared with model group, the expression of Occludin in HRS group was uniform and continuous, and the staining was darker.IF results: compared with model group, the fluorescence signal intensity of ZO-1 in HRS group rats significantly increased, and the distribution was clear and continuous.Wes-tern blot results: compared with model group, the expression levels of Occludin and ZO-1 proteins in HRS group rats remarkably increased (0.79±0.06 vs. 0.54±0.04, 0.91±0.11 vs. 0.51±0.13), while Lysozyme protein decreased (1.50±0.40 vs. 2.99±0.80) (all P<0.05). qPCR results revealed that the expression level of Lysozyme mRNA in HRS group rats was lower than that in model group (1.64±0.33 vs. 2.20±0.40), while α-defensin mRNA obviously increased (0.82±0.19 vs. 0.47±0.13) (all P<0.01). Conclusions:HRS protects intestinal mucosal barrier by inhibiting the expression of tight junctions and the secretion of antimicrobial peptides in rat suffering from IIRI.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to observe the correlation of mTOR and VEGF gene with nephropathy indicators in diabetic rats. Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were divided into diabetes mellitus group(DM=28)and control group(NDM=20). Diabetic models were produced by injection of streptozotocin. In the courses of 12,16,20 and 24 weeks,the histology scores(HS)and glomerular basement membrane(GBM)thickness were collected. The protein and mRNA expressions of the gene of mTOR,VEGF and VEGFR2 were observed by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-Q-PCR)by SYBR Green. And the standardized cycle of threshold(SCt)was regarded as the indicators of the mRNA expression. Results HS and GBM thickness were significantly higher in DM rats than those in NDM rats,especially in DM rats of the courses of 20 and 24 weeks(P < 0.01). IHC scores of VEGF and VEGFR2 were higher in total DM rats and were positively correlated with each other. There were positive correlations between HS with VEGF and VEGFR2 in total DM rats(P < 0.05). SCts of VEGF and VEGFR2 were significantly higher and were positively correlated with each other in total DM rats(P < 0.01). SCt of VEGF and GBM thickness showed positive correlation in total DM rats. SCt of VEGF was highest in the course of 12w DM rats. SCt of VEGFR2 gradually decreased following by the diabetic course,and was lowest in the course of 24w. There were no significantly differences in IHC scores and SCt of mTOR between DM and NDM rats. But the IHC scores of mTOR,VEGF and VEGFR2 were positively correlated with each other and with HS in total DM rats(P < 0.05). Conclusion HS and GBM thickness were higher in diabetic rats,especially in the course of 24w,which could reflect the injury of nephropathy. The protein and mRNA of VEGF and VEGFR2 were high expressed in kidney of DM rats and increased with the increasing of diabetic course. The mRNA expression of VEGF was positively correlated with GBM thickness of in diabetic nephropathy(DN). The protein expressions of mTOR,VEGF and VEGFR2 might have synergistic effects in DN of DM rats. But the results could not exclude the influences of different courses,sample size and experimental conditions.

OBJECTIVETo examine the association between long-term oral low-dose aspirin and overall survival in colorectal cancer patients after diagnosis.
METHODSThe literature databases, such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, and Wanfang database, were extensively searched to retrieve the comparative studies about the association between low-dose aspirin use after colorectal cancer diagnosis and overall survival published before June 2014. The state 12.0 version software was used for meta-analysis. The quality of these studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.
RESULTSThere were eight studies meeting the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. The total sample size of these studies included 28 103 cases and the score of all the studies was more than 6 points. Meta-analysis of the data using I(2) test showed significant heterogeneity (I(2)=78.2%, P<0.01), therefore, a random effect model was performed. Aspirin use after diagnosis was associated with longer overall survival (HR=0.732, 95% CI:0.613-0.875, P<0.01). There were seven studies with the same design or tumor stage in I-IIII period respectively for sensitivity analysis. The results of studies showed that the sensitivity was low and accurate (HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.557-0.849, P<0.01; HR=0.682, 95% CI: 0.539-0.864, P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONMeta-analysis shows that long-term oral low-dose aspirin after diagnosis of colorectal cancer is identified as a significant prognostic factor.
