Objective To evaluate the effects of curcumin on matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)/tissure inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) balance during limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced lung injury in rats.Methods Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-8 months,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S) ; group I/R; curcumin + I/R group (group C + I/R).Limb ischemia was induced by occlusion of bilateral femoral arteries for 2 h followed by reperfusion for 3 h in I/R and C + I/R groups.At 2 h before ischemia,curcumin 200 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group C + I/R,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in the other groups.Arterial blood samples were taken at 3 h of reperfusion for blood gas analysis and PaO2 was recorded.The animals were then sacrificed and the lungs were removed immediately for determination of wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio,myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 contents.The ratio of MMP-9/ TIMP-1 was calculated.Results Compared with group S,PaO2 was significantly decreased,and W/D ratio,MPO activity,MMP-9 content and the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05),while no significant change was found in TIMP-1 content in group I/R (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,PaO2 and TIMP-1 content were significantly increased,and W/D ratio,MPO activity,MMP-9 content and the ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 were significantly decreased in group C + I/R (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which curcumin attenuates lung injury induced by limb I/R is related to decreased MMP-9 content,elevated TIMP-1 content and regulated balance between MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the lung tissues of rats.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes and determine the difference of electrode impedance and neural response telemetry ( NRT) value with cochlear implants in children with malformed inner ear and normal inner ear. METHOD: Eighty-eight children with multi-channel cochlear implants participated in this study. Children were divided into malformed inner ear group and normal inner ear group. To test the electrode impedance values and NRT value. RESULT: The changes of electrode impedance showed the similar changing pattern in two groups. There was not different in electrode impedance values between the two groups (P > 0.05). The changes of electrode neural response telemetry values showed the similar changing pattern in two groups. There was significantly different in electrode impedance values between the two groups (P < 0.05). The NRT were going up higher from electrode 22 to electrode 1. CONCLUSION The values vary are different programming sessions and electrodes during the first 3 months of cochlear implant use. To acquire better hearing frequent programming sessions are necessary.

Objective To explore the effect of oleanic acid on key enzyme activity in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells. Methods The HepG2 cells were divided into normal control,model control,metformin,and oleanic acid groups.Glycogen content in insulin-resistant HepG2 cell model were detected by hepatic glycogen test kit upon treatment with oleanic acid.Activities of glucokinase ( GK) ,phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PEPCK),and glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) were assayed by the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase coupling colorimetric, lactate dehydrogenase coupling colorimetric and ammonium molybdate constant phosphorus methods. Results The oleanic acid enhanced glucose consumption,lowered the activity of G-6-Pase and PEPCK by 54.8% and 18.8%,respectively,and increased the activity of GK and glycogen content in also insulin-resistant HepG2 cells by 100.6% and 98.6%,respectively. Conclusion Aqueous extracts of shirako play a role in lowering PEPCK and G-6-Pase activities and inhibiting glucogenesis, resulting in the reduction of endogenous glucose in the cell. In addition,it can augment the activity of GK,accelerate the process of glucolysis,increase the glycogen content,and alleviate insulin resistance of HepG2.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of coblation for early glottic cancer. METHODS Twenty-two patients with early glottic carcinoma (Tis-T2) without lymph node metastasis accepted resection of laryngeal cancer lesions using transoral endoscopic coblation,without pre-operative or post-operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. All the patients were followed up for 30 to 70 months. RESULTS No severe complications such as dyspnea and bleeding occurred in these cases.Only mild postoperative pain happened to the patients.All patients could swallow and speak after operation. No recurrence occurred in 21 cases till now. One case, with poorly differentiated squarnous cell lesion in the anterior commissure invading subglottic area, recurred 4 months after operation. Salvage partial laryngectomy was performed and no recurrence was found after salvage operation. CONCLUSION The result suggests that transoral endoscopic coblation is a good method for early glottic cancer. It is worth popularizing.

Objective:To evaluated the subcutaneous nephrovesical bypass carried out in patients with ureter obstruction and improve the quality of life of patients with palliative definitive percutaneous nephrostomy.Methods:A total of 36 patients with advanced cancer receiving 45 subcutaneous nephrovesical bypass tubes were included in the study.Uronephrosis ranged from 1.8-5.2 cm,serum creatinine 73-760 ?mol/L,and glomerular filtration rate(GFR) 19-26 mL/min.The obstruction was proved to be complete by retrograde pyelography.The nephrovesical stents were inserted utilizing percutaneous access to both of the kidney and bladder,and a subcutaneous tunnel was created between the two sites.B-ultrasound,KUB(kidneys,ureters,and bladder),serum creatinine test and GFR were carried out 72 hours after operation.Results:Urinary diversion operations were successful in the 36 patients,uronephrosis ranged from 0-1.8 cm,all stents were in position,serum creatinine 72-173 ?mol/L,GFR 25-40 mL/min after the operation,and the bypass functioned well in 45 stents for 67 to 481 days of the follow-up.Conclusion:Subcutaneous nephrovesical bypass can protect renal function of patients suffering from ureteral obstruction by simple and minimum invasive operation;it can also reduce complications caused by percutaneous nephrostomy and improve the patient's life quality.
