[Objective]To evaluate the preemptive analgesic effect and safety with celecoxib in patients undergone the hip joint replacement.[Method]Fifty patients scheduled for elective hip joint replacement were randomly divided into two groups,celecoxib group and control group.Those of celecoxib group were given celecoxib 200 mg 24,12 h before incision.The operation was performed under extradural anesthesia by the same surgeons. All patients were given celecoxib 200 mg 8,24,36,48,60,72 h after the operation.Before celecoxib administration and after the operation,pain intensity was measured using visual analog scale(VAS),and analgesic requirements,side effects,hip joint ranges of motion,sleep states,hemorheology and phlebothrombosises messured with the ultrasonic wave were compared.[Result]There were no marked differences in the VAS pain scores before celecoxib administration between two groups.Compared with control group,the patients of celecoxib group had significantly lower VAS pain scores after the operation(P

Bis-(3′,5′) cyclic di-guanylate (c-di-GMP) is an almost ubiquitous intracellular second messenger in bacteria.Now it is known to regulate complex physiological processes, including mobility, adhesion, virulence and biofilm formation.The level of c-di-GMP is regulated by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) containing GGDEF domains and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) containing EAL or HD-GYP domains.Recent studies have demonstrated that HD-GYP domain protein is a novel phosphodiesterase, which is also involved in the regulation of c-di-GMP degradation.This review highlights recent advances in the structure and biochemical functions of HD-GYP domain proteins, which might help to further clarify the mechanism of c-di-GMP signal system.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and superiority of video-assisted minithoracotomy surgery (VAMT) in treatment of adolescent patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. MethodsThe clinical data of 103 adolescent patients with spontaneous pneumothorax were analyzed retrospectively. VAMTS was performed in 56 cases and video-assisted thoracoseopic surgery(VATS) was performed in 47 cases. complications Statistical analysis were undergoing in middle-operation, post-operation and ambi-operation in the two groups were analyzed. ResultsNo statistically significant difference were found in blood loss ,operating time,pain grade, out-of-bed activity time, antibiotics use time,chest drainage time,hospital day pulmonary infection between the two groups( all P ＞0.05 ). The cost of hospitalization was lower in VAMTS group compare to VATS group ( P ＜ 0.05). ConclusionVAMT in treatment of adolescent patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax had the advantage of simple performance, reliable effectiveness, practical,lower cost of hospitalization fee.

AIM:To investigate the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 on white adipose tissue (WAT) and the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice (8 weeks) were chal-lenged by high-fat diet for 12 weeks, and were randomly divided into saline group and exendin-4 group.The mRNA expres-sion of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), TNF-αand adiponectin of WAT was detected by real-time PCR.3T3-L1 adipocytes or mouse embryonic fibroblasts cells were treated with exendin-4 for 24 h.The protein levels of SIRT1, ATGL and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Exendin-4 significantly decreased epididymal fat weight, fasting blood glucose and serum triglyceride levels ( P<0.05) , and reduced body weight and serum TNF-αlevel.The mRNA expression of SIRT1, ATGL and adiponectin in WAT was all significantly up-regulated by exendin-4, which were contrary to the down-regulation of TNF-αmRNA expression (P<0.05).Exendin-4 promoted the protein expression of SIRT1, ATGL, and HSL in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner.Less lipid droplets with up-regulation of lipolytic protein expression were observed when combined with SIRT1 agonist treatment, which were suppressed by SIRT1 inhibitor.Deletion of SIRT1 led to larger adipocytes with more lipid droplets, and the effect of ex-endin-4 on the lipolysis disappeared when SIRT1 was deficient.CONCLUSION:Exendin-4 promotes lipolysis in WAT of obese mice via activation of SIRT1.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of taurine on oxidative stress and calcium overload induced by cerebral cortex contusion.METHODS:SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,brain contusion model group,taurine groups(high dose,middle dose and low dose respectively),and nimodipine group.After being fed with corresponding drugs for7days,all rats were subjected to modeling by brain contusion.For intracellular calcium detection,rats were sacrificed2h after modeling,and the brain slices were prepared to fluorescence labeling and confocal microscopy detection.For the detection of oxidative stress,rats were sacrificed24h after modeling,the cortex of contusion side was homogenated and then the activity of superoxide dis?mutase(SOD)and content of malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected through biochemical method.RESULTS:Compared with model group,all taurine groups were shown to have markedly less MDA and intracellular calcium content,and the high dose group had markedly stronger SOD activity.CONCLUSION:Taurine is effective in counteracting the oxidative stress and calcium overload caused by brain contusion.

Objective To explore the factors of high level of serum estradiol(E2)in infant with hemangiomas and its relationship with tumors' proliferation.Methods The levels of serumal estradiol of 25 proliferative hemangiomas and 15 oblique inguinal hernias with same ages 1 day preoperation and 3 days postoperation were tested by chemiluminescence enzymatic immune method.The expressions of estrogen receptors(ER)in 25 tumors and 15 normal skin tissue were tested by immunohistochemical method.Results The levels of E2 of preoperation were ob-viously higher than that of postoperation in hemangiomas and control group(Pa0.05).The expression of ER in tumors was significantly higher than that in normal skin tissue(P

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of Caroli′s disease in children.Methods The clinical data,laboratory examination and radiological feature of 8 children with Caroli′s disease between Feb.1998 and Dec.2007 were analyzed retrospectively.All children underwent CT and abdominal ultrasonogram.Results Five cases of the 8 children were male and 3 cases were female.The mean age was 6.3 years old.The cases′ history were from 5 days to 4 months.The clinical symptoms showed that 3 cases had hematemesis,5 cases had hepatosplenomegaly,and 1 case had fever and turbid urine.Of the total 8 cases,5 cases were hepatic fibrosis and liver cirrhosis and hepatosplenomegaly,3 cases were portal hypertension,and 1 case had cholangitis.The other 3 cases were simple types.One case had infantile polycystic kidney disease.Laboratory analysis revealed 2 cases had dysfunction of liver and 1 dysfunction of renal.The imaging characteristics showed multiplied irregular dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts in enlarged liver,with central dot sign on CT scan.One case presented enlarged gastroesophageal vein.The 8 cases undertook conservative treatment,with no surgery.Conclusions The symptoms of Caroli′s disease are highly variable.Caroli′s disease should be focused especially on children with abdominal pain and hepatomegaly.CT is important for diagnosis of Caroli′s disease at earlier stage.The disease can be conservatively treated,and(or) surgically operated.

Using in vitro everted gut to investigate the intestinal absorption of the extracts from Polygonum orientale at different concentration. UPLC-MS/MS was used to detect the content of protocatechuic acid, isoorientin, orientin, vitexin, cynaroside, quercitrin, kaempferol-rhamnoside in different intestinal segments, then compared the results with the absorption of chemical components of extractive P. orientale in each intestinal segments, and calculated the absorption parameter. We took the statistic analysis with SPSS statistic software. The influence significance of each factors were analyzed to describe the character of absorption. The absorption of each component is linearity in different intestinal segments and different dose, and the square of coeficient correlation exceed 0.95, which consistent with zero order rate process. The K(a) increase along with the raised dosage of the extractive P. orientale (R2 > 0.95), indicated it is the passive absorption; different intestinal segments have different absorption. And the absorption trend in intestinal is duodenum, jejunum, ileum are greater than the colon. As ingredients are selectively absorbed in intestinal sac, the everted intestinal sac method is selected to assess the intestinal absorption charcteristics of ingredients of extractive P. orientale.
