Objective To explore the effect of erythropoietin(EPO) on Bcl-xl expression in hippocampal CA1 subregion and cognizing function in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(IR).Methods Male SD rats were randomly separated into sham-operated group,IR group and EPO group,and the IR models were made.At 3 h before IR models made,rHu-EPO and saline were injected into rat lateral ventricles in EPO group and IR group,respectively,with help of stereotaxic coordinates.Bcl-xl protein expression of Hippocampal CA1 subregion was detected by immunohistochemistry at 24 h after operation.The learning and memory abilities were examined by electricity maze at 4 weeks after operation.Results Compared to sham-operated group,Bcl-xl protein expression in EPO group and IR group were obviously decreased,but EPO group was significantly increased than IR group(all P

0.05).The mRNA and protein expressions of survivin in cells transfected by 100-200nmol/L siRNA were significantly lower than those of untransfected cells(P0.05).Conclusion Silencing survivin gene by the RNAi technique can decrease effectively the expressions of survivin gene and protein,suppress significantly the growth and proliferation of A549 cells,and induce apoptosis of A549 cells.The inhibitory effect of RNAi is characterized by its specificity,high efficiency and durability.This may lay an experimental foundation for further study of gene therapy in lung cancer.

Objective To explore the protecting mechanism of erythropoietin (EPO) on learning and memory of Alzheimer disease (AD) rats. Methods The AD model was made by injected into rat hippocampal CA1 subregion with amyloid beta-protein(Aβ). Male Spraque-Dawley rats were as the experimental objects, which were randomly separated into 3 groups including Sham, Saline control and EPO treatment. After Aβ was injected into rats hippocampal CA1 subregion ,saline or EPO was respectively injected into the lateral ventricle of rats,with help of stereotaxic coordinates, upon the designed conditions. Hippocampal CA1 subregion Bcl-xl expression changes were observed 24 hours after the operation, and learning and memory abilities were checked 4 weeks after the operation. Results 24 hours after the operation Bcl-xl expression in the EPO group and the Saline group was less than the Sham control ,while Bcl-xl positive cells( 100.42 ± 12.43/field) in the EPO group were more than in the Saline group( 82.06 ± 19.68/field ) (P ＜ 0. 05 ). 4 weeks after the operation learning ability in the EPO group ( 20.38 ± 5.88 ) was better than Saline group ( 25.50 - 3.25 ) (P ＜ 0. 05 ), and memory ability in the EPO group (4.75 ± 1.75 ) was better than the Saline group(2.88 ± 1.55 )(P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion EPO could improve the learning and memory abilities in the model rats,and it could be related with EPO restraining Bcl-xl expression decreasing.

OBJECTIVE:To compare clinical efficacy of Xiaoshi lidan capsules and Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules in the treat-ment of chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis. METHODS:120 patients with chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis in our hospital were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 60 cases in each group. Observation group was given Xiaoshi lidan capsules 1.2 g,po,tid(after the meal);control group was given Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules 250 mg,po,qd(after dinner). Both group received treatment for 6 months. Effective rate of litholysis were observed in 2 groups as well as abdominal pain score [PRI,VAS score,present pain intensity(PPI)],the thickness of gallbladder wall before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups during treatment. RESULTS:3 pa-tients withdrew from the observation group and 1 patient withdrew from the control group. Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in PRI,VAS score,PPI and the thickness of gallbladder wall between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,above index-es of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while PRI,VAS score and PPI in observation group was significantly lower than in con-trol group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The effective rate of litholysis (64.91%) in observation group was significantly lower than in control group (79.67%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). Total effective rate of observation group (57.89%) was slightly higher than that of control group(54.24%),without statistical significance(P>0.05). There was no statistical signifi-cance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Xiaoshi lidan capsules are similar to Ursodeoxycholic acid capsules in clinical efficacy for chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis with good safety,and can be used as optional drug ex-cept for chronic cholesterol gallstone cholecystitis.

Objective To investigate self-management behaviors of kidney transplantation recipients after discharge.Methods A total of 97 kidney transplantation recipients were recruited from a teaching hospital of Peking University From September 2009 to June 2012,and all eligible subjects were then assigned to 3 groups:post-transplantation less than 6 months group (group A),post-transplantation 6-12 months group (group B),and post-transplantation more than 12 months group (group C).The subjects were required to complete self-management scale for renal transplant recipients.ANOVA was used for data analysis.Results There were 32 patients in group A,31 in group B,and 34 in group C.Self-management behavior score of the participants of the three groups was 100.1 ± 7.0,99.0 ± 7.3 and 91.3 ± 5.8,respectively (F =3.53,P =0.03).In terms of diet,group B got the highest score (F =16.41,P =0.00).However,group A showed excellence in physical activities (F =11.50,P =0.00).For three groups,score of drug effect and side effect was 2.00 ±0.00,2.03 ±0.18,and 2.41 ±0.50; score of routine laboratory values was 2.00 ±0.00,2.05 ± 0.16 and 2.82 ±0.39; and score of skin protection was 3.09 ±0.30,3.03 ± 0.91,and 2.85 ±0.36,respectively.Conclusions Post-transplantive self-management behavior of patients who completed the surgery for more than 12 months may not be better than others.Healthcare professionals need to improve patients' self-management through health education.
