Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer. And to further prevent the risks of colorectal cancer and provide methods and evidences.Methods A literature search was performed through CNKI,Wanfang,PubMed,Ovidsp,Cochrane data within the time limit of November 2005 to November 2015.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the studies were screened and the data were extracted.Then,meta -analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3.5.Results A total of 14 studies(6 case-control studies and 8 cohort studies)met the inclusion criteria.Meta analysis showed that with metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of colorectal cancer incidence compared with the control group without metabolic syndrome(OR =1.18,95%CI:1.33cv1.22,P <0.05).Stratified analysis showed that metabolic syndrome increased the risk of color-ectal cancer between men and women population.The combined effect of the OR respectively (OR =1.12,95%Cl:1.09 -1.14,P <0.05;OR =1.13,95%Cl:1.05 -1.22,P <0.05),the differences were statistically significant. Meta analysis showed that metabolic syndrome was not associated with an increased risk of colon cancer mortality (OR =1.05,95%CI:0.92 -1.19,P =0.46).Conclusion This meta analysis indicate a positive association between meta-bolic syndrome and colorectol cancer incidence,and the association has no gender differences.The metabolic syndrome does not increase the risk of colon cancer death.More prospective cohort study needed to further confirm it.

Objective To study the treatment of pancreatic injury accompanied with nervous injury. Methods 22 patients were divided into three groups. They were treated with different method and comparable in the duration of hospital stay, the time of nervous function recovery to normal,placement time of catheterization tube, complications and change of sera albumin.Results The duration of hospital stay were significantly shortened in combined therapy group patients than in control group. Combined therapy can promote recover of nervous function, reduce time to conserve catheterization tube. Reduce complications of pancreatic injury with accompanied nervous injury by combined treatment with somatostatin and growth hormone, it also can increase protein synthesis, correct hypoalbuminemia and reduce complication.Conclusions In combination of somatostatin and growth hormone early used to treat pancreatic trauma accompanied with nerves injure has valuable to heal pancreatic injure and recover the nervous function.

AIM: To investigate the effect of paclitaxel on the quantitative growth of rabbit's vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) and their relationship in vitro. METHODS: An ex vivo model of endothelium repair was developed in which rabbit's SMCs were inoculated in the upper chamber and rabbit's ECs in the lower chamber of a co-culture system. 3 H-TdR incorporation and cell counting were used to determine the effect of paclitaxel on the quantitative proliferation of rabbit's vascular ECs and SMCs. The migration rate was analyzed to determine the effect of paclitaxel on the migration of rabbit's vascular ECs and SMCs. The IC50 of paclitaxel on ECs and SMCs was calculated. RESULTS: The 3 H-TdR incorporation, cell counting and migration of rabbit's vascular SMCs were inhibited by paclitaxel of 1 nmol·L-1-1 μmol·L-1 in a concentration-dependent manner (n=6, P<0.01). The 3 H-TdR incorporation and cell counting of rabbit's vascular ECs were inhibited by paclitaxel of 10 nmol·L-1-1 μmol·L-1 and migration by paclitaxel of 1 nmol·L-1-1 μmol·L-1 in a concentration-dependent manner (n=6, P<0.01). The 3 H-TdR incorporation assay resulted in the IC50 of 10.09±0.47 nmol·L-1 on SMCs and 19.06±0.35 nmol·L-1 on ECs proliferation. The migration assay resulted in the IC50 of 9.16±0.54 nmol·L-1 on SMCs and 5.37±0.51 nmol·L-1 on ECs migration. Paclitaxel (10 nmol·L-1, 20 min) inhibited SMCs growth of the confluent ECs group during the observed period. However, increased SMCs growth was observed in the proliferative ECs group 10 days after paclitaxel intervention. CONCLUSION: Paclitaxel inhibits not only SMCs but also ECs growth in rabbit's vascular. The delayed SMCs proliferation is closely related with the delayed ECs regeneration induced by paclitaxel.

ABSTRACT:Hypertension,the first risk factor for stroke and coronary heart disease in the Chinese population, seriously endangers people’s health.At present,China has more than 270 million people with hypertension and an annual increase rate of 1 0 million people.Then how to improve prevention and treatment of hypertension has become an urgent need to solve major medical and social problems.In the past,research on hypertension mainly focused on the peripheral area,while recent research has shown that the central regulation plays an important role in the development of hypertension. Hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN ), which plays a key role in maintaining cardiovascular activity, can directly control the sympathetic preganglionic neurons and regulate peripheral sympathetic nerve activity,thus being closely related to the development of hypertension.Research in recent years shows that the comprehensive effects of proinflammatory cytokines (PIC ),reactive oxygen species (ROS),renin-angiotensin system (RAS),neurotransmitter (NT)and nuclear factorκB (NF-κB)are involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.However,it is unclear how these neurohormones in PVN are activated,how they interact with each other and what role they play in the regulatory mechanism of hypertension.Therefore,the key focus of this research is to explore the impact of activated neurohormones in PVN on hypertension.This study will provide new content for the study on hypertension.

Poly ( aspartic acid-co-leucine) was synthesized, modified via ethylenediamine, conjugated with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and finally chelated with gadoliniumⅢ, yielding PL-A2-DOTA-Gd. The T1-relaxivity (15. 3 mmol-1 ·L·s-1 ) of PL-A2-DOTA-Gd was 2. 6 times than that of Gd-DOTA (5. 8 mmol-1·L·s-1) in D2O. The results of magnetic resonance imaging experiments showed significant enhancement in the rat liver after intravenous administration of PL-A2-DOTA-Gd, which persisted longer than Gd-DOTA. The mean percentage enhancements of liver parenchyma were 65. 1%±5. 2%and 21. 3%±4. 9%, for PL-A2-DOTA-Gd and Gd-DOTA, respectively.

Objective To investigate the clinical features , diagnosis and key technique points of laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for small adrenal pheochromocytoma . Methods From Oct.2006 to Jun. 2011, clinical data of 32 cases with small adrenal pheochromocytoma (≤3.0 cm) were collected and retro-spectively analyzed .Hypertension was observed in 12 patients, whereas 20 patients presented with adrenal incidentaloma .Thirteen patients had a left adrenal neoplasm , eighteen patients had a right adrenal tumor , while one patients had bilateral tumors .The positive rate of plasma-free metanephrines ( MNs) and 24-hours urinary catecholamine (CA) in diagnosing small renal pheochromocytomas was 92.6%(25/27) and 81.3%(26/32) respectively.The main localization diagnosis included ultrasonography , 131I-MIBG, and CT or MRI, with positive rates of 71.9%(23/32), 93.8%(15/16) and 96.9%(31/32) respectively.All the laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed retroperitoneally .During the surgery , the internal part of the adrenal gland closing to the retroperitoneum was dissected first , and the whole adrenal gland was resected completely. Results Partial adrenalectomy was performed for 30 cases and radical adrenalectomy for 2 ca-ses.All operations were successful without perioperative or postoperative complications .The maximum diame-ter of tumor was 1.7±0.2 (1.0-3.0) cm.Histopathological results showed that all the cases were benign pheochromocytoma.The operative time was 82 (40-210) min.The estimated blood loss was 57 (20-180) ml.No patient required blood transfusion . Conclusions Plasma-free MNs, 24-hours urinary CA and VMA are important qualitative examinations in detection of adrenal pheochromocytoma .Ultrasonography , CT,MRI, and 131 I-MIBG are important in the localization of adrenal tumors .Retroperitoneal laparascopic partial adrenalectomy is the preferred choice in the management of small adrenal pheochromocytoma .Dissecting the internal part of the adrenal gland closing to the retroperitoneum first and exploring the whole adrenal tissue are the key technique points during the operations .

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between aging-induced neointimal formation and Jagged 1 dynamic expression in endothelium after arterial injury in rats. MethodsForty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 3 months (young adult) and 22 months (old) were selected, and thirty of them were subjected to balloon catheter injury at the thoracic aorta. Morphometry analysis was applied to evaluate neointima/media ratio at 28 days after arterial injury. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the dynamic expressions of Jaggedl in endothelium and the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in neointima at 7 days, 14 days and 28 days after arterial injury respectively. Cell co-culture system was developed by inoculating endothelial cells(EC) in the upper chamber and smooth musele eells(SMC) in the lower chamber. Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) was used to assay the effect of aging on the expression of Jagged 1 in EC. ＜'3＞H-TdR incorporation and cells counting were used to determine the influence of EC of different ages of rats on platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced proliferation and migration of SMC. ResultsThe neointima/media ratio were obviously higher in old rats than in young rats (0.35±0.02 vs. 0.28±0.01, n=5, P＜0.01). Compared with the young counterparts, old rats showed in immunohistochemistry that the Jaggedl in endothelium displayed a delayed up-regulation and quickly diminished evolvement pattern. The maximal enhancing level of Jaggedl in old rats was much lower than that in young ones. However, the increased extent of PCNA in neointima was significantly higher in old rats than that in young ones. Jagged 1 expression in EC in old rats was significantly lower than that in young one[(46.6±6.3)% vs. (85.4±4.0)%,n=3, P＜0.05]. The SMC co-cultured with EC in old rats exhibited higher proliferation and migration capability than those in young ones after exposure to PDGF of 10ng/ml[2H-TdR incorporation: (26 438±1857) cpm/well vs. (16 698±2076)cpm/well, n=5, P＜0.05. migration:(32±4) cells/field vs. (18±5) cells/field, n=5, P＜0. 05]ConclusionsThe up-regulation of Jaggedl in EC is impaired in aged rats, which is closely related to aging-indueed SMC proliferation and migration. It also suggests that Jagged1 might be involved in the process of aging-exaggerated neointima formation.

Objective To explore the optimum voltage for digital chest radiography in adult. Methods PMMAs of Different thickness (7.2, 9.0, 10. 8 and 12. 6 cm) were used to simulate chest of different depth ( 17. 5, 22. 5, 27.0 and 32. 5 cm). The combinants of contrast-detail Cdrad 2.0 phantom and above PMMAs were exposed with automatic exposure control (AEC) and different tube voltages. The images of these combinants were obtained and the entrance surface dose (ESD) was recorded. The imaging quality factor (IQF) was calculated and the curves were drawn between the ESD,IQF and kV. The PMMAs of different thickness, on which a contrast object ( PMAA of 5 cm diameter and 1.8 cm thickness ) was placed, were exposed with the same condition used for above test. Their images were obtained and SNRs were calculated. Results The ESD, SNR and IQFinv of different chest depth decreased with increase of kV.When tube voltages of 70, 100 and 140 kV were used, for 17. 5 cm chest depth, the ESD was 0. 22, 0. 09 and 0. 06 mGy, the IQF was 43.3, 58. 8 and 72. 0, the SNR was 7.5, 6. 2 and 5.0; for 22. 5 cm chest depth, the ESD was 0.37, 0.12 and 0.06 mGy, the IQF was 56. 0, 61.4 and 65.3, the SNR was 6. 4, 5.2 and 3. 8; for 27. 0 cm chest depth, the ESD was 0. 52, 0. 20 and 0. 09 mGy, the IQF was 54. 2, 64. 3 and 91. 0, the SNR was 6. 0, 4. 8 and 3. 5; for 31.5 cm chest depth, the ESD was 0.53, 0.24 and 0. 10 mGy,the IQF was 53.2, 66. 8 and 95.3, the SNR was 5. 7, 4. 5 and 3. 0. Conclusion To balance ESD, SNR and IQF, proper tube voltage should be chosen for chest radiography according to thickness and constitution of patients.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of n-butanol extract from the roots of Potentilla anserina (NP) on hypoxic hippocampal neurons in neonatal rats.Methods Primary cultured hippocampal neurons were pretreated with different concentration of NP (0.25,0.0625,and 0.0156 mg/mL) before incubation in a low oxygen (0.1％) environment for 4 h.Cell viability was evaluated by Trypan blue staining assay.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released by neurons into the medium was measured.The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in cell cytosol was determined using nitroblue tetrazolium.Morphological changes and mitochondrial function were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results Hypoxic injury could decrease the cells viability of neuron,enhance LDH release (P ＜ 0.05),decrease SOD activity,and increase mitochondrial injury.Pretreatment with NP significantly increased cell viability,decreased LDH release (P ＜ 0.05),promoted SOD activity (P ＜ 0.05),and remarkably improved cellular ultra-microstructure compared with the model group.Conclusion NP could protect the primary hippocampal neurons from hypoxic injury by attenuating mitochondrial cell death.

Objective To summarize the correlation between clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of schizencephaly in order to provide a basis for the diagnosis and prognosis.Methods Thirty-five outpatients with schizencephaly diagnosed at Department of Pediatric Neurology of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2009 to May 2015 were retrospectively selected,and they were divided into different groups (patients with unilateral lesions or bilateral lesions) according to their cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features.The clinical manifestations were compared between different groups.Results Of 35 patients,19 (54.3％) patients were male and 16 (45.7％) patients were female.Twenty-four patients were found with unilateral lesions (68.6％),including 16 cases (66.7％) with hemiparesis and 8 cases(33.3％) with no motor impairment.Mental retardation was observed in 8 patients (33.3％) and 6 patients (25.0％) showed speech impairment.Eleven patients were found the bilateral lesions (31.4％),including 5 patients (45.4％) with tetraparesis,4 patients (36.4％) with hemiparesis,and 2 paticnts (18.2％) with no motor impairment.Mental retardation was observed in 9 patients (81.8％) and 9 patients (81.8％) showed speech impairment.There were significant differences in motor impairment,mental retardation and speech impairment between the unilateral lesion group and bilateral lesion group (Z =-2.40,P =0.002;x2 =7.09,P =0.012;x2 =9.94;P =0.003).Epileptic seizure occurred in 18 patients (51.4％).Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that cortical dysplasia beyond the cleft and open-lip lesions were the major risk factors for seizures (OR =4.44,2.73;P =0.005,0.029).Imaging characteristics:there were closed-lip lesions in 10 patients (28.6％),open-lip lesions in 21 patients (60.0％) and open/closed-lip lesions in 4 patients (11.4％).Anatomic localization of all clefts was found in the frontal lobes in 19 patients (54.3％),in frontoparietal lobes in 11 patients (31.4％),in parietal lobes in 2 patients (5.7％),and in occipital lobes in 3 patients (8.6％).After 1-6-year follow-up,12 patients treated with antiepileptic drug were seizure-free (all with unilateral lesions),and 6 patients had refractory epilepsy (3 patients with bilateral lesions).Conclusions Schizencephaly is a rare structural disorder of cerebral cortical development.Those with bilateral lesions are usually manifested with severe motor,speech impairment and mental retardation and their prognosis is poor.Schizencephaly patients complicated with cortical dysplasia beyond the cleft or open-lip lesions are more easily attacked by seizures.MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis judgment of schizencephaly.
