Objective To determine the effects of 1320 nm non-ablative laser on the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts,and the secretion of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1)in vitro.Methods Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured,and irradiated three times by 1320 nm laser at a dose of 15,20 and 24 J/cm~2,respectively.The levels of bFGF and TGF-?1 were examined by ELISA at 0,24,48 and 72h after the irradiation.The number of fibroblasts before and after irradiation were determined.Results The number of fibroblasts and the secretion of bFGF both in- creased after the irradiation at the doses of 20 J/cm~2 and 24 J/cm~2(P

Designing of natural product-like compounds using natural products as template structures is an important strategy for the discovery of new drugs. Gambogic acid (GA), which is a Garcinia natural product with a unique caged xanthone scaffold, inhibits potent antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. This review summarized the researches on the identification of the antitumor pharmacophore of GA, and the design, structural optimization and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of natural product-like caged xanthones based on it.

Purpose To investigate human soluble TRAIL(sTRAIL)protein expression and purification and its potential anti-tumor activity on hepatocellular carcinoma(HepG2).Methods Soluble TRAIL gene ligated with expression vector pPIC9 was transfected into GS115(his4)and the recombination strain expressing sTRAIL was screened by MD plate.The effects of different media,methanol inducement period,methanol concentration,and pH were investigated and optimized using shaking flask.The anti-tumor activity of sTRAIL with HepG2 cells Was analyzed after purification.Results The highest expression of sTRAIL was obtained at pH 6.0,1% methanol in BMMY medium,with the concentration of(58.7±2.4)mg/L at 48 h.Recombinant sTRAIL protein could induce HepG2 cells apoptosis and inhibit HepG2 cells proliferation effectively.Conclusion The optimized condition of human sTRAIL expression and purification Was developed and the obtained recombinant sTRAIL protein may be a promising therapeutic agent for hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the HIV infections states in tumor patients for clinical diagnosis,treatment and to prevent HIV infection in the tumor hospital.METHODS The result of HIV detection in tumor patients from Dec 2000 to Aug 2006 was analyzed by the review statistics analysis.RESULTS Totally 48 101 tumor paients were detected,and the number of tumor patients with positive HIV antibody result was 51(0.106%).Among the positive patients there were 21 cases with blood transfusion history,14 cases with blood donating experience,2 cases with both these two kinds of experiences and 14 cases without the two kinds of experiences.Their rate was separately 41.0%,27.5%,4.0% and 27.5%.Most of the HIV positive patients had no clinical synptoms.CONCLUSIONS The HIV positive rate of patients with blood transfusion or blood donating is significantly higher than the patients without these experiences.The routine detection for the HIV before the operation,blood transfusion or other traumatic detection is very necessary.

Objective To report clinical study of diabetic foot with microsurgical treatment.Methods 32 cases basing on physical treatment underwent operation which included reconstruction of vessel under DSA and flap transfer and relaxation of nerves.Results 8 eases were examined with DSA after operation,it showed that the bypass grafts were unobstructed and the distal blood were improved;All flap were lively. Conclusion The ulcer of the patients with diabetic foot was closed early and the blood supply of the limb have been reconstructed by microsurgical treatment,it can not only avoid amputation or lower the limb amputation level,but also improve the life quality of patients and obtain social benefit.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the parameters of urodynamic tests for patients with type-III B prostatitis and evaluate the significance of the results of urodynamic tests in the choice of therapies for this disease.

METHODSUrodynamic tests were performed for 87 type-III B prostatitis patients aged 22-45 (30.7 ± 8.5) years, who had moderate or severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and failed to respond to routine therapy. Different treatments were administered according to the results of urodynamic tests followed by observation of the therapeutic effects.

RESULTSUrodynamic abnormalities were found in 70 of the 87 patients, bladder outlet obstruction in 28 (32.2%), detrusor overactivity in 25 (28.7%), bladder hyperesthesia in 18 (20.7%), low compliance in 10 (11.5%), detrusor-external urethral sphincter dyssynergia in 1 (1.1%), and impaired detrusor contractile function in 1 (1.1%). Treatments achieved obvious effectiveness in 26 cases (29.9%), effectiveness in 51 (58.6%), and no effectiveness in 10 (11.5%).

CONCLUSIONUrodynamic tests contribute significantly to the choice of therapies for type-III B prostatitis patients with moderate or severe LUTS.

Rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms is important to the prevention and control of diseases.Com-pared with traditional approaches, electrochemical DNA biosensors present great advantages in promising rapid, portable, sensitive and cost-saving detection of pathogens.In this review, the working principle of electrochemical DNA biosensors and the progress in detection of pathogens is introduced, the latest developments of DNA tetrahedron structure and new nano materials in electrochemical DNA biosensors are reviewed, and the challenges to and prospects of development in this field are also discussed.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of posteromedial supine approach plus anterolateral approach for treatment of posteromedial condylar tibial plateau split fracture combined with lateral compartment depression.Methods A retrospective analysis was done on 48 cases of posteromedial condylar tibial plateau split fracture with lateral compartment depression operated through posteromedial supine plus anterolateral approaches from February 2011 through March 2013.There were 37 men and 11 women,aged 15-67 years (mean,42.5 years).Fracture occurred at the left side in 31 cases and at the right side in 17 cases.Interval between injury and operation ranged from 5 to 16 days (mean,8.7 days).Reconstructive or T-shaped plates were used for posteromedial condylar split tibial plateau fracture.Anatomical or locking compression plates were used for lateral compartment depression,but autogenous ilium bone grafting was performed laterally when bone defect was obvious.Results Average operation time was 2.8 hours (range,2-3.5 hours) and average length of stay was 21 days (range,12-45 days).All cases were followed up for mean 12.8 months (range,5-25 months).All fracture healed from 4 to 8 months (mean,6.7 months).Mean Rasmussen score for radiological results was 16.9 points (range,16-18 points) immediately after operation.Hospital for special surgery (HSS) knee score averaged 86.4 points (range,76-95 points) 8 months after bone healed,indicating the excellent results in 27 cases,good in 16 cases,fair in 4 cases and poor in 1 case with a good to excellent rate of 90％.At the last follow-up,postoperative knee range of motion averaged-5°-135°.All incisions healed primarily without vascular nerve injury and implant loosing or breakage.There was an extension lag in 1 case with knee range of motion of 20°-130° and osteoarthritis in 1 case,but both were improved with non-operation therapy.Conclusion Posteromedia] supine plus anterolateral approaches are suitable for posteromedial condylar tibial plateau split fracture with lateral compartment depression,for the combined approaches gain advantages of easy operation,good reduction,rigid fixation,few soft-tissue complications and satisfactory clinical results.
