The weak expression of CGRP and SP was observed in nonlesional and normal epidermis. CGRP and SP expression levels had significant differences in the lesional skin and in normal and uninvolved skin (P

Objective To investigate the lentivirus-mediated RNA interference(RNAi) reduced human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) gene expression in ovarian cancer chemosensitivity.Methods Specifically targeted short hairpin RNA HER2 gene ( shRNA) lentiviral expression vector and negative control sequences lentiviral vector were constructed.stable expression of HER2-shRNA in SKOV3 cell line ( KD) and negative control cell line (NC) were established.The uninfected SKOV3cell lineserved as blank control(CON)group, sensitivity to changes in three kinds of cells to cisplatin chemotherapy in the HER2 gene expression was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot technique, CCK-8 assay CON and KD cells strains were established xenograft model in nude mice in each group to detect the expression of the HER2 protein, as well as by cisplatin chemotherapy tumor size. Results Expression results showed that a stable cell line HER2-shRNA and negative control cell lines had been successfully establish by fluorescence and flow cytometry.RT-PCR results showed KD cells relative HER2 mRNA expression levels compared with the NC group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01), whereas no significant difference when compared with the CON group, HER2 mRNA KD Group inhibition rate was (95.5 ± 0.12)%.After transduction specific HER2-shRNA ovarian cancer tumor cells, HER2 protein expression was significantly reduced, growth had slowed down significantly after cisplatin treatment ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusion Lentivirus-mediated HER2-shRNA can effectively inhibit the expression of the HER2 gene, increase chemosensitivity to cisplatin in ovarian cancer.

The study was based on the maths model of waves which were reflected by a reflecting ellipsoid and whose distributing of energy in the ellipsoid. We developed an equipment by ellipsoidal focus to substitute for energy based on the research. The equipment has the characteristics of revolving therapy as the X-knife and the γ-knife which can be used in 3D therapy. We call the system ″Ultrasonic-knife″ which were used in 3D hyperthermia. The equipment simulates an source of energy by the ellipsoidal focus. The source can be put in the tumor in deep organ． It also avoids some shortcomings, just as heat is in limit area and temperature is too high in the focus. We could do an ideal conformal therapy by a reasonable treatment planning.

Objective To summarize the mid-term result and clinical experience of individual treatment for Stanford type B aortic dissection.Method 213 patients (172 male,41 female) with Stanford type B aortic dissection were admitted between Apr 2008 and Jan 2013.Age ranged from 23 to 83 averaging 54 ± 9.63 patients were treated conservatively and 47 patients underwent open surgery,103 patients by endovascular repair.Result Patients in conservative group were older than those in open surgery group.Preoperative waiting time was the longest in open surgery group.Concomitant procedures adopted in open surgery group included replacement of ascending aorta and aortic arch in 3 patients and fenestration of stented elephant trunk in 19 patients; 31 patients received bypass graft of cervical vessels during endovascular repair.Mortality was 11.1％,4.3％,3.9％ in conservative group,open surgery group and endovascular group,respectively.Compared with open surgery,endovascular repair had a lower incidence of perioperative complications (P ＜ 0.05).186 patients were followed-up with a mean follow-up duration of (26± 17) months.There were no difference in mortality and complications between the three groups.Conclusions In Stanford B aortic dissection,individualized therapy based on patient's condition achieves a favorable mid-term result with low mortality and complication rate.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of Dengzhan Xixin Injection (DXI) combined with photon-autotransfusion therapy in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). [ Methods ] Sixty-one cases of DPN were randomized into 2 groups. Group A ( n=31) was given DXI 30 - 40 mL (intravenous drip, qd) and photon-autotransfusion therapy (once every 2-3 days). Group B (n = 30) was treated with anisodamine 10 - 20 mg (intravenous drip, qd) and vitamin B] 100 mg and B12 500 ?g (intramuscular injection, qd) . Changes of symptoms and signs and neural conductive velocity were observed to evaluate the curative effect after treatment. [ Results ] The markedly effective rate and total effective rate were 58.07% and 93.55% respectively in group A, which were higher than those in group B (16.67% and 63.34% respectively) , the difference being significant ( P

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have be-come a great health threat.Increasing evidence has shown that both asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)and symmetric dim-ethylarginine (SDMA)play important and independent roles in the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases as well as in the prediction of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2 )is re-cently observed to be involved in ADMA metabolism.Deficiency in the expression and activity of AGXT2 may thus play a role in the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by affecting ADMA levels in vivo.Several single-nucleotide poly-morphisms at AGXT2 locus are observed to be associated with plasma SDMA level.This review summarizes recent advances in AGXT2 and its role in ADMA metabolism and the clinical rele-vance.

Objective To investigate the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in hippocampus after status convulsion (SC) and explore the influence of age and duration of SC on the expression of BDNF and NGF. Methods Animal model with the different durations of SC (30 min,3h) were established by intraperitoneal injection of 3 mEq/kg lithium chloride,18-20 h later,followed by 5 mg/kg pilocarpine in 40 adult Wistar rats aged 2-3 months and 40 20-day-old Wistar rats. The normal control and experimental control were made in ten adult rats and ten 20-day-old rats (n=5 for each control). The rats were sacrificed at 3 h,6 h,12 h,1 d,3 d,7 d after 30-minute SC,or 3 h,1 d after 3-hour SC respectively. The location and cell type expression of BDNF and NGF in the hippocampus were observed by immunohistochemistry. The levels of BDNF and NGF at different time points were quantitatively analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The cells expressing BDNF and NGF located mainly in the dentate granule cells and CA1-CA4 pyramidal cells of hippocampus. The most positive immunoreactivity was in cytoplasm,partly in axons. The expression of BDNF had the tendency of increase in all rats after 3-hour SC,peaked at 1 d and 3 d respectively. These increases lasted for at least 7 d. Moreover,a several-fold increase was observed at the peak levels. The patterns of NGF expression were similar to that of BDNF after SC. The elevated degree and duration of NGF expression were remarkably lower than that of BDNF,declining abruptly to below control levels by 12 h with the characteristic of biphasic increase. The expression of hippocampal BDNF had the positive correlation with the duration of SC,but that of NGF was not. No matter the duration of SC,there was more rapid and evident induction of BDNF in 20-day-old rats and adult rats. Moreover,the age-related difference was more obvious for the longer duration of SC. Conclusion SC induced the expression of BDNF chiefly in hippocampus,and had minor influence on that of NGF. The expression of BDNF was related to age and duration of SC. There was a more rapid and marked induction of BDNF in 20-day-old rats and adult rats. The age-related difference had the positive correlation with the duration of SC.
