Objective To study the role of cell apoptosis during the chemotherapy of human gliocytoma in order to get effective suvilliance on the effect of chemotherapy. Methods Gliocytoma cells were isolated and cultured from 40 human gliocytoma samples. Mitochondrial membrance potential (MMP), cell cycle, the level of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by flow cytometry (FCM) at 24, 48, 72 hours respectively of incubation with Lomustine (CCNU) and Teniposide (VM-26), and the trends were also analysed. Results MMP decreased greatly, the apoptosis part in the cell cycle ananlysis increase, the expression level of Bcl-2 decreased, and that of Bax increase rapidly, while the Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased. Conclusions CCNU and VM-26 have singnificant effect in gliocytoma chemotherapy on inducing gliocytoma cell apoptosis. VM-26 has more stronger effect on the cell cycle. MMP is the most sensitive and the fastest index in apoptosis detection.

AIM:To investigate the effect of non-mitogenic human acidic fibroblast growth factor(nm-haFGF)on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.METHODS:Rat renal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury was produced by removing the left kidney and subsequently clamping the right renal artery for 60 min followed by reperfusion for 24 h.5 min after reperfusion.different doses of nm-haFGF and haFGF(as positive control)were injected by lingual vein.24 h later,the samples of blood,urine and kidney were collected and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),creatinine(Cr)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity were detected.Histopathological changes were also observed.RESULTS:In the serum,SOD activity of all the nm-haFGF groups and the haFGF group increased significantly while the content of MDA decreased dramatically compared with the model group;The content of BUN and Cr aland haFGF group rose significantly compared with the model group,while MDA decreased dramatically.Histological examination showed that nm-haFGF markedly attenuates the renal edema,brush border's defluvium and cell necrosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion.CONCLUSION:nm-haFDF could resist the renal injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion in rats.

AIM: To study the protection of extract of Radix Atragali composite against acute hepatic injury. METHODS: Fed with the extract of Radix Atragali composite, m ice were injected with D-galactosamine intraperitoneally (800 mg/kg) and rats were i njected with carbon tetrachloride hypodermically (5 mL/kg) to induce acute hepat ic injury on the 8th day. ALT, AST and bilirubin in serum were examined. Patholo gical changes of liver tissue were observed. RESULTS: Compared with model group, activities of ALT and AST, c oncentrations of bilirubin were markedly decreased and pathological scores also showed that degeneration and necrosis of hepatic cell were lighter in the the ex tract of Radix Atragali composite treatment group. CONCLUSION: The extract of Radix Atragali composite attenuat es hepatic injury induced by D-galactosamine or carbon tetrachloride.

Objective To investigate the effect of elispheric motion on balance and walking ability of hemiplegic patients after stroke. Methods From September to December, 2016, 40 hemiplegic patients after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and ob-servation group (n=20). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation, additionally, the control group received juggling ball training, and the observation group received elispheric motion combined with juggling ball training, 20 minutes a day, six days a week for six weeks. They were assessed with the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Sensory (FMA-S), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity (FMA-LE), Berg Bal-ance Scale (BBS) and TimedUp and GoTest (TUGT) before and six weeks after training. Results After training, the scores of FMA-S, FMA-LE, BBS significantly increased (t>10.012, P<0.05) in both groups, and were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.129, P<0.05);the time of TUGT significantly shortened (t>10.001, P<0.001) in both groups, and were shorter in the observation group than in the control group (t>4.669, P<0.05). Conclusion Elispheric motion can facilitate to improve the balance and walking ability of hemi-plegic patients after stroke.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on the expression of heparanase ( HPA) and fascin in lung carcinoma cells of mice. Methods Mouse LLC cells were inoculated in the culture plate. After being cultured for 24 h, the cells were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table: control group ( group CC) , 1% sevoflurane group ( group Sev1 ) , 2% sevoflurane group ( group Sev2 ) , and 3% sevoflurane group ( group Sev3 ) . Cells in Sev1-3 groups were exposed to 1%, 2% and 3% sevoflurane, respectively, for 4 h, while cells in group CC were not exposed to sevoflurane, and all the cells were then cultured for another 24 h in an incubator. The invasion of cells was determined by Transwell invasion assay, and the invaded cells were counted. The migration of cells was determined by wound healing assay, and cell migration rates were calculated. The expression of HPA and fascin in cells was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with group CC, the number of invaded cells and cell migration rates were gradually decreased, and the expression of HPA and fascin was gradually down?regulated with increasing concentrations of sevoflurane in Sev1-3 groups. Conclusion The mechanism through which sevoflurane inhibits the metastasis of mouse lung carcinoma cells is associated with down?regulated expression of HPA and fascin.

Objective To study the differences of clinical and histopathologic features between ischemic colitis (IC) and ulcerative colitis (UC), which can make for the differential diagnosis and treatments. Methods Comparative analysis were focused on the clinical and histopathologic data of IC patients (20 cases) and UC patients (30 eases). Results The onset duration of IC [(5±7) d] was significantly shorter than that of UC [(953±1354) d]. IC patients tended to have history of cadiovascular diseases or abdominal surgery (65%). The typical clinical manifestations of IC were sudden onset of abdominal pain (85%), hematochezia (60%)and diarrhea (50%), but UC usually presented with abdominal pain (83%), diarrhea (63%), bloody mucopurulent stool (57%) and tenesmus (20%). Colonoscopy showed longitudinal ulceration (60%)on the mesenteric side, the segmental lesions usually involved only 1/4-1/2 of the perimeter of the lumen (80%), and the boundary of lesions was clear (75%) in IC patients. On the contrary, the ulcer of UC was usually map-like (43%), the lesions usually involved the entire lumen (90%), and the pseudopolyp (37%) was another colonoscopic feature of UC. The histopathologic study revealed that dilation and hyperaemia of vessels (90%) were common in IC. Severe edema of mucosa (95%) was usually presented in IC, and the thickened vascular wall (50%) was the histopathologic characteristic of IC.Crypt abscesses (47%) usually appeared in UC. Conclusions The histopathologic characteristics and differences of colonoscopic findings and clinical features provide strong bases for the differentialdiagnosis between IC and UC.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficiency of selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor compared to traditional nonselective NSAIDs for the prevention of heterotopic ossification (HO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

METHODSBy searching Medline, Embase, CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) and Science Citation Index et al, only randomised controlled studies of selective COX-2 inhibitors VS nonselective COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors for the prevention of HO after THA were included. The quality assessment of included studies was evaluated according to the standard of the Cochrane Collaboration, and the data were analysised by statistic software Stata 10.0. The HO incidence of both groups in different degrees was compared.

RESULTSFour eligible randomised controlled trials of totally 808 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that no statistically significant difference was found in overall incidence of HO (RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.71-1.64,P = 0.73), incidence of moderate severe HO (Brooker II and III) (RR = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.48-1.42, P = 0.49) and any grade of Brooker classification between two groups. In all included studies, 16 patients receiving nonselective COX inhibitor (4.4%) discontinued treatment because of gastrointestinal toxicity,whereas 10 patients in the selective COX-2 inhibitor group (2.7%) discontinued for gastrointestinal side effects.

CONCLUSIONThe selective COX-2 inhibitors are as equally effective as nonselective NSAIDs for the prevention of HO after THA. Considering the side effects of nonselective NSAIDs, selective COX-2 inhibitors were recommend for the prevention of HO after THA.
