Daphnetin, isolated from Daphne koreane Nakai, has been reported to dilate blood vesse ls, inhibit thrombosis and have antiinflammatory effect. In this study, type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ protcin kinase A partially purified from rat skeletal muscle and protein kinase C from rat brain were incubated with varying concentrations of daphnetin. Type Ⅱ protein kinase A was siguificantly inhibited by daphnetin at the concentration of 0.0056?mol/L, while type Ⅰ protein kinase A and protein kinasc C were inhibitcd at the concentrations of 5.6?mol／L and 56 ?mol/L, respectively. The results indicated that daphnetin might be used as a specific inhibitor of type Ⅱ protein kinase A

Objective To explore the influence of helicobacter pylori(Hp) on gastric motor function in children with chronic gastrictis.Methods Forty-seven children with chronic gastrictis were classified into Hp positive and negative groups according to Hp and histology exa-mination.Each child underwent gastric emptying test of solid by using nuclide method and electrogastrogram(EGG) examination.These cases with Hp-positive acceptted these triple eradication therapy[clarithromycin 15 mg/(kg?d),amoxicillin 50 mg/(kg?d),omeprazole 0.8 mg/(kg?d)]for 2 weeks,and underwent EGG examination again after eradicating Hp.Results The half emptying time(GET_1/2)in Hp-positive gastric group were significantly longer than those in Hp-negative group(t=6.403 P

The therapeutic effects and mechanisms of traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs in treating osteoporosis have become the focus under study. Pharmacological studies have shown that traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs are promoters for the proliferation of osteoblasts, inhibitors for the activity of osteoclasts, regulators for the estrogen level and its receptor, plays important roles in promoting osteogenesis and suppressing adipogenesis of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), modulating the function of OPG/RANK/RANKL system and the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, as well as antioxidation. The anti-osteoporotic active ingredients and pharmacological action mechanism of traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs are summarized from the perspective of molecular and cell biology in this paper, so as to provide references for the study of their mechanism of anti-osteoporosis and for the development of traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying and bone-strengthening drugs.

Objective To investigate the relationship between hypoxia and stemness of cancer stem cells ( CSCs ) . Methods U87 cells,U251 cells and primary glioma cells were experienced hypoxia. Detected the ultrastructure of these cancer cells with transmission elec-tron microscopy;detect the cell growth with MTT assay;cell cycle and CD133 expression were detected by flow cytometry;and the cell mi-gration ablity were detected through transwell chamber assay;the colony-forming efficiency were deteced by colony-forming assay; and real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were carried out to detect the mRNA and protein expression of markers of stem cells and their differ-entiation respectively. Results Hypoxia maintained the undifferentiated state of primary glioma cells, slowed down the growth of glioma cells which were in a relatively quiescent stage, increased the colony forming efficiency and migration of glioma cells, and increased the expression of markers of stem cells, but the expression of markers for stem cell differentiation was reduced after hypoxia treatment. Conclusion Hypoxi-a may induce the “dedifferentiation” of differentiated glioma cells which then acquire the stemness.

Objective To discuss the artery effects of enhanced external counterpulsation for the progressive stroke patients.Methods Ninety-two progressive stroke patients who were treated in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenzhen from August 2010 to February 2015 were selected and equally divided into the treatment group and the control group based on the random number table.The control group were received conventional therapy,and the treatment group were added treated with enhanced extemal counterpulsation therapy.Results All patients were successfully completed treatment,the C-reactive protein (CRP) and Endothelin-1 (ET-1) were presented decreased significantly after treatment (P＜ 0.05),and the C RP and ET-1 values in the treatment group were (2.09±2.11) mg/L,(13.98±6.30) mg/L,significantly lower than those of the control group((8.12±2.46) mg/L,(46.09± 11.02) mg/L;t =15.309,14.985;P＜0.05).After treatment,the FMD and NMD values in the treatment group were significantly increased from (5.26±1.34)％ to (11.93 ±2.13) ％,and from (13.20±5.33)％ to (22.98±8.34)％,in the control groupand were from (5.27±1.33)％ to (8.10±1.43) ％,and from (13.67±4.10)％ to (16.09±5.12)％ (t=16.934,21.787,8.443,12.345;P ＜0.05),and the value of FMD and NMD in treatment group were significantly higher than in the control group(t =7.982,9.113;P ＜ 0.05).The cardio ankle vascular index (CAVI) and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) values in the treatment group were significantly reduced after treatment,the difference was significant (P＜0.05),and compared with the control group the difference was also statistically significant (t =4.281,8.456;P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Enhanced external counterpulsation for the progressive stroke patients can effectively inhibit the expression of endothelin and inflammatory factors,improve endothelium-dependent relaxation of blood vessels,improve arterial elasticity,and thus play more effective treatment.

Objective To study the expressions of α1-AT and VEGF-C in human bronchoalveolarcarcinorrm, and the relation of the expression to the patholo~cM differentiation and clinical stage. Methods All 49 Darffin embedding samples of patients with bronchoalveolar carcinoma were studied. α1-AT and VEGF-C were detected by immunohistochemical SP method.Automated image analyzer was used to quantify α1-AT and VEGF-C expressions.Results The immunohistochemical positive stainings of α1-AT and VEGF-C in brown or dark brown were located in cytopla8m.The expression levels of α1-AT and VEGF-C were not related with the gender,age,tumor position and size,and histology subtypos(P＞0.05).It Was found that the expression of α1-AT in patients with local lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than those without node metastasis(P＜0.001).It was found that the expression of VEGF-C in patients with local node metastasis significantly higher than th08e without node metastasis(P＜0.001).There Was a negative correlation between the expression level of α1-AT and the expression level of VEGF-C in bronchoalveolar carcinoma(r=-0.324,P＜0.05).Conclusion α1-AT and VEGF-C could be secreted by bronehoalveolar carcinoma.Bronehoalveolar carcinoma with lower α1-AT expression and higher VEGF-C expression is more likely to have lymph node metastasis.Lower α1-AT expression and higher VEGF-C expression can participate in the mechanism of lymph node metastasis in carcinoma together.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficiency of repairing ankle and calf wounds by antegrade or retrograde perforating flap of posterior tibial artery. Methods 13 cases with skin defects of ankle and calf wounds were reviewd. The defects were repaired using antegrade or retrograde perforating flap of posterior tibial artery from January 2011 to February 2013, 8 males and 5 females; aged 19 to 65 years old. Wounds were located in the ankle and calf, area which the tibial artery support contu-sioned slightly;defects were associated with exposed bone or tendon, exposed blood vessels. Of the 13 cases, 5 cases have multiple ankle fracture with blood circulation disorders, internal and external fracture fixation were performed emergency with blood ves-sels and nerves exposed, at the same time emergency line wound repair by posterior tibial artery perforating flap. The other 8 cases have no blood vessels and nerves exposure, and accepted vacuum sealing drainage emergency external fixation and flap surgery. Seven cases accepted V-Y antegrade perforating flap of posterior tibial artery, 6 cases using retrograde tibial artery perforator flap. Whose defects were ranged from 1.5 cm×2.0 cm to 9.0 cm×5.0 cm. Antegrade or retrograde perforating flap of posterior tibial ar-tery with 1.5 cm×3.0 cm to 14.0 cm×7.0 cm was used to repair ankle or lower leg medial defect. Antegrade flap donor site sutured directly, but retrograde flap donor site take full thickness skin graft repair from abdomen. Results Circulations of the all 13 cases were stable, with wound healing well after 2 weeks. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 24 months, average of 13 months. All flap graft survived, pedicle no bloated andcat eardeformity. Flaps were soft, no bloated appearance;color was con-sistent with normal skin. Fracture line in the 5 patients was disappeared. Bone healing time was 3.0 to 4.0 months. At the direct su-ture skin donor sites, postoperative scar was small;skin graft donor sites had no obvious scar. Postoperative ankle dorsiflexion 10° to 25°, plantar flexion 15° to 45°. Patients were extremely satisfied with the results of repair. Conclusion Using antegrade or ret-rograde posterior tibial artery perforator flap without sacrificing the main vessel, it is a simple and effective method to repair the medial malleolus and calf wounds.
