Objective To observe the effect of total glucosides of peony on hypergammaglobulinemia of undifferentiated connective tissue disease(UCTD). Methods Fifty patients with UCTD were randomly divided into the treat-ment group (total glucosides of peony and hydroxychloroquine and thymosin) (n=30) and the control group (hydroxychloroquine and thymosin) (n=20). The changes between the two groups on hypergammaglobulinemia after treated for 3 months were compared. Results The two groups all had the IgG and IgA decreased, but the treatment group decreased more significantly. In addition, the treatment group had decreased RF. Conclusion Total glucosides of peony can improve the hypergammaglobulinemia of UCTD.

AIM: To observe the effect of phagotrophic ability of macrophage on pseudomonas aeruginosa which was cocultured with low concentration of erythromycin. METHODS: The pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 was cultured in LB both with low concentration of erythromycin (Group A) and without erythromycin (Group B) for 18 h separately, then incubated with macrophage from murine abdominal cavity for 2 h. The ratio of phagocytosis of macrophage was determined by microscope detection. RESULTS: The ratio of phagocytosis of group A in which erythromycin was added was higher than the group B, and the pseudopodia of macrophage were increased in the group A under electron microscope. CONCLUSION: Low concentration of erythromycin may enhance the phagocytosis ability of macrophage in vitro by influencing the virulent factors of PA.

Objective To report the modified surgical technique currently used for the construction of an orthotopic ileal neobladder.So as to improve the vesical function of urinary storage and urination after total cystectomy. Methods Radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder with double “U” shape were performed in 20 patients with transitional cell carcinoma. After the detubularized ileal segment approximately 40 cm in length was arranged in a U configuration,the two medial borders of the U-shaped open segment were oversewn with a single layer seromuscular continuous 2-0 polyglycolic acid suture.The bottom of the U was folded over between the two ends of the U.Thus a spherical pouch, the neobladder, was fashioned. During that period, the neobladder anastomosed to the urethra.The ureters were implanted according to the improved stitching method. Results The operative time to form a neobladder was (90?15)min.Follow-up turned out that no perioperative or early postoperative mortality was observed, and no severe early complications occurred. The mean postoperative follow-up time was 25 (range,6 to 48) months.All the 20 cases achieved excellent continence except for 6 cases with temporary incontinence at night.Dysuria occurred in 1 case,and hydronephrosis on the left was found in 1 case.Six months later, the mean bladder capacity was 340 ml (range,250 to 450 ml). Conclusions The construction of an ileal neobladder using a smaller part of ileum that has been completely detubularized and fashioned by double U shape is easy and agreeable to perform.This mode of operation has low complication rates, achieves adequate capacity at low pressure, and provides satisfactory continence rates.

Objective To investigate the role of individualized psychological intervention in gastroscopy.Methods 286 patients first underwent gastroscopy were randomly divided into the intervention and control groups,143 patients in each group. Individualized psychological intervention were provided for intervention group,and the patients of control group were just given routine nursing care. All the patients were measured by self rating anxiety scale (SAS) ,which were as measuring standards before and after intervention. At the same time,the blood pressure and heart rate were compared before and after intervention. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was observed to investigate the satisfaction of patients after operation. Results Compared with control group,anxiety rate and degree,blood pressure and heart rate in intervention group were lower( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The test of VAS revealed that the satisfaction of patients in intervention group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Individualized psychological intervention could improve negative emotion and relieve anxiety and affliction of patients underwent gastroscopy, and the satisfaction degree for gastroscopy was improved.

Purpose To investigate the clinical outcome of induced membrane technique for treatment of post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 17 cases of post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis admitted from August 2011 to October 2012.There were 13 males and 4 females aged 19-67 years (mean,40.9 years).Mean length of bone defect was 6.7 cm (range,2.0-18.5 cm).Surgical treatments were performed including phase Ⅰ surgical debridement and antibiotics-loaded bone cement impregnation to induce a membrane and phase Ⅱ bone defect reconstruction by intramembranous bone grafting.Clinical effect of the treatment was evaluated.Results Bone healing was detected at the 27-month follow-up (range,24-32 months).Radiographic healing was obtained 4-6 months after operation.Two cases of recurrent infection were noted after phase Ⅰ surgery and had another debridement.External fixator proximal pin track infection occurred in one case and infection was controlled by hardware removal and dressing change.There was one case of metal rejection,two function disorders,one clubfoot,and one ankle stiffness.Conclusion Induced membrane technique is effective in the treatment of post-traumatic tibial osteomyelitis,especially in lone bone defect reconstruction,but limb functional complications are worth consideration during treatment.

Background and purpose:Unbalance of apoptosis regulation plays an important role in tumor initiation and progression.Survivin and caspase-3 all take part in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis.We investigated the role of survivin and caspase-3 in apoptosis of gastric carcinoma,as well as its relationship with the clinicopathologic features and the prognosis of gastric carcinoma by using tissue microarray.Methods:The gastric cancer tissue microarrays were composed of tissues from 100 cases of carcinoma of the stomach without a history of chemo-radiation therapy and 30 gastric tissues of control subject.The diameter of each specimen on tissue microarrays was 2.0 mm.Expressions of survivin,caspase-3 were investigated immunohistochemically on these tissue microarrays.Tumor cell apoptosis index was also examined by TUNEL method.Of the 100 cases,47 cases were followed-up from 14 months to 13 years,in which the prognosis was analyzed.Results:Two paraffin-embedded gastric carcinoma tissue microarrays were successfully constructed,including 114 and 116 tissue spots,respectively.Immunohistochemical analysis showed that survivin expression was positive in 78 cases(78%) in this series.In contrast,no expression of survivin in control tissues was detected(P

Aim To investigate the effects of quercetin and psoralen on the proliferation of human breast carcinoma cells in vitro.Methods Effects of quercetin and psoralen on the cell proliferation was tested in ER-positive MCF-7 cells by flow cytometer and Western blot.And the estrogen-like effect of psoralen and its relation with the estrogen-receptor were evaluated by pure estrogen receptor antagonist ICI182,780 as a tool.Results ① Psoralen(10 ?mol?L-1) and quercetin(10 ?mol?L-1) stimulated proliferation of MCF-7 cells compared with vehicle control,and the cell cycle was impulsed from G1 to S,DNA synthesizing was enhanced.It was also found the above function on boosting MCF-7 cell proliferation could be inhibited by adding estrogen receptor antagonism ICI182,780.② Psoralen(10 ?mol?L-1) and quercetin(10 ?mol?L-1) up-regulated ER? protein levels without altering ER? levels.The above up-regulation on ER? protein could be inhibited by adding estrogen receptor antagonism ICI182,780.Conclusions Psoralen and quercetin have the estrogen-like activities through the estrogen response pathway.And they exert estrogenic activity to MCF-7 cell proliferation through interaction with ER? expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) on regulating visceral sensitivity in rats with acute partial restraint stress. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into blank control (sham stress), acute stress and CB1R groups with 10 each. The frequency of discharge of electromyogram (EMG) was recorded at the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 8th day to evaluate the visceral sensitivity to colorectal distension (CRD) in rats. The expression of the CB1R mRNA was determined by means of RT-PCR at day 8. Results There was no significant difference in baseline discharge frequency among three groups at the 1st day. But the discharge frequencies corresponding to CRD at 40,60,80 mm Hg at the 2nd day were significantly lower in CB1R group [(22.37±1.49)/min, (42.24±3.03)/min and (69.09±5.54)/min, respectively] than in acute stress group [(39.71±1.84)/min, (84.45±8.85)/min and (112.56±11.66)/min, respectively, P<0.05)]. The discharge frequencies corresponding to CRD at 40, 60,80 mm Hg in acute stress group [(104.12±6.77)/min, (158.07±18.68)/min, (193.58±25.69)/min,respectively] showed a significant elevation at the 5th day in comparison with blank control group[(36.33±5.42)/min, (74.07±8.25)/min, (102.94±7.95)/min, respectively, P<0.05] or CB1R group [(74.66±6.44)/min,(140.10±4.68)/min and (160.39±5.60)/min,respectively, P<0.05]. However, at the 8th day after stress, there was no significant difference in discharge frequency among three groups. The expressions of CB1R mRNA in ileocecal junction, proximal colonic and distal colonic tissues were significantly higher in acute stress group (2.53±0.52, 2.29±0.42, 2.54±0.29 respectively) than in blank control group(0.56±0.15, 0. 73±0.12, 0.82±0.09, respectively, P<0.05). There was no effect of CB1R agonist on CB1R mRNA expression in rats. Conclusion The visceral sensitivity in rats induced by stress can trigger the accommodation of endogenous cannabinoid system that plays an important role in modulation of visceral sensitivity.
