Pulmonary hypertension has now become a common diseases threaten to human health .There are many factors that can cause pulmonary hypertension , such as heredity, immune injury, inflammation and endothelial function damage , etc.In recent years, studies have found that patients with pulmonary hypertension commonly have the phenomenon of iron deficiency , and intravenous iron agent can improve that , but the specific mechanism is unclear .Iron in the human body mainly is controlled by a protein called hepcidin, it inhibits iron flow from the gastrointestinal to the blood .Thus, intravenous iron administration can provide new options for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension .This paper reviews the progress of the iron deficiency and pulmonary hypertension .

As the second cause of cancer relative deaths,gastric cancer's different biological characteristics lead to obviously different treatment results and prognosis.The mechanism to determine the initiation,lead to obviously different development and the biological characreristics of gastric cancer is doctors' interest.Recently,platelet-de-rived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) become one of hot research fields,its excessive activation and abnormal expression can induce tumor angiogenesis,and promote tumor growth,and can also degrade extracellular matrix,reduce the number of cell adhesion molecular.Through these,PDGFR-β was directly or indirectly involved in tumor invasion and metastasis.PDZK1 can bind with PDGFR-β specifically and futher affect the downstream of PDGFR-β signaling pathway (Ras-MAPK signaling pathway,the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,PLC signaling pathway),and then affect cell proliferation,differentiation and migration.

Objective:To study the characteristic of mandibular kinesiography(MKG) of the patients wearing linear occlusal denture or anatomic occlusal denture, and its relation with masticatory function. Methods:The characteristic tracks, range and speed of mastication movement of two groups of patients, 33 wearing linear occlusal dentures and 30 wearing anatomic occlusal dentures, were recorded by MKG and statistically compared.Results:Differences of mandibular movement track in linear occlusal denture group from that of the anatomic occlusion group were found as following:①There was no occlusal contact slide on the frontal plane track. The track of protrusion movement on sagittal plane was a straight line.②The maximum speed of closing of linear occlusal dentures was apparently slower than that of anatomic occlusal dentures (P

Objective To explore the operative approaches of gastric stromal tumor,and to evaluate the treatment effect of various operation methods. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 96 cases of gastric stromal tumor treated in People's Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from Jan 2011 to Jun 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. 16 cases got laparoscopic resection, 48 cases got gastroscope and laparoscopic combined resection, and 42 cases got open resection. Results For patients with tumor diameter < 2 cm and 2-5 cm, the operation time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative hospitalization days in the laparoscopic group were better than those in the laparotomy group (P < 0.05), but the postoperative complications and metastasis or mortality in the laparoscopic group didn't have the advantage compared with the laparotomy group (P > 0.05). For patients with tumor diameter > 5 cm, the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization days, postoperative complications, and postoperative metastasis of mortality in the laparoscopic group didn't have the advantage compared with the laparotomy group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Different diameter of gastric stromal tumor should adopt different surgical methods and ways, the indication is strict, otherwise easy to cause tumor residual or disseminated planting.

Background The recurrent rate of retinal detachment is much higher after silicone oil removal in high myopia with macular hole.How reduce the recurrence is a hot topic.Whether optical coherence tomography (OCT)-assisted examination is helpful for the improvement of surgery successful rate is in clinical observation ObjectiveThis study was to observe macular retinal status before silicone oil removal in eyes with macular holerelated retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes by OCT and evaluate the factors that influence successful silicone oil removal.MethodsFifty-five eyes of 49 consecutive patients who received vitreoretinal surgery for highly myopic retinal detachment caused by macular hole from January 2005 to December 2008 were involved,and 45 eyes of 40 patients who underwent silicone oil tamponade were retrospectively analyzed.Three to six months after vitreoretinal surgery combined with silicone oil tamponade,removal of silicone oil was performed based on the macular appearance on the OCT and the patients were followed up for over 1 year.The OCT manifestation of macular hole and the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were compared between before vitrectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade surgery,and after removal of silicone oil.The healing of the macular hole was classified into type Ⅰ and Ⅱ healing according to the OCT results.ResultsThe retina at the macular area completely reattached in 40 eyes(88.89％ )before removal of silicone,and the margin of the macular hole had disappeared in 2 of the 40 eyes,showing type Ⅰ heal.Thirty-eight eyes were determined to exhibit type Ⅱ healing,presenting with a visible hole margin and local defection of nervous fiber layer.Two years after the removal of silicone,retinal detachment reappeared in 1 eye with type Ⅱ heal.The BCVAs were 1.93±0.06 and 1.16±0.07 before and 1 year after removal of silicone,respectively,showing a significant difference between them(P =0.00).ConclusionsOCT is a useful tool for the prediction of anatomic outcomes in macular hole-related retinal detachment eyes with high myopia.Silicone oil removal can be performed in macular hole closure eye or attached-well hole edge eye based on OCT examination.However,attachedwell hole edge eye should receive longer follow-up time.

OBJECTIVETo optimize the hydrolysis process of linarin by response surface methodology, and to use the model of aldose reductase to study the acacetin's activity of aldose reductase inhibitory.

METHODThe model of acacetin enzyme in vitro was established by the determination of fluorescence absorption of NADPH, the inhibition rate of acacetin aldose reductase was calculated, and then the IC50 of hydrolysis was obtained. The hydrolysis process of linarin hydrolysis condition was optimized by using response surface method.

RESULTThe results indicated that the IC50 of acacetin (2.74 mg x L(-1)) was less than the IC50 of linarin (3.53 mg x L(-1)). Hydrolyzation time of 7.4 h, sulphuric acid concentration of 0.54 mol x L(-1) and the ratio of material to liquid of 3 : 1 were the optimum conditions.

CONCLUSIONHydrolyzate acacetin has preferable inhibitory activity of aldose reductase. The optimized hydrolysis condition of linarin is convenient to use with good predictability.

Objective To observe the oral Simotang plus traditional Chinese medicine enema in treatment of postoperative adhesion intestinal obstruction in patients with colon cancer.Methods The clinical data of 45 colon cancer patients with postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction was analyzed retrospectively.The patients were randomly divided into control group (22 cases) and treatment group (23 cases).The control group was given conventional treatment,the treatment group was treated with oral Simotang plus traditional Chinese medicine enema on the basis of conventional treatment.The clinical efficacy,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome integral,serum endothelin (ET),tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) and other indicators were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rates in control group and treatment group were 86.4 ％ (19/22) and 91.3 ％ (21/23),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.201,P =0.016).The operation rates in control group and treatment group were 13.6 ％ (3/22) and 8.7 ％ (2/23),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =3.622,P =0.027).The treatment group had shorter gastrointestinal recovery time and hospitalization time,the difference was statistically significant (both P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome integral in two groups had no significant difference (t =0.826,P ＞ 0.05),after treatment,the integral in treatment group was lower than that in control group (t =0.553,P ＜ 0.05).In treatment group,the differences of ET,TNF-α,IL-6 between 3,5,7 d and 1 d were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.01),and compared with the control group at the same time,there were obvious advantages(all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The efficacy of oral Simotang and traditional Chinese medicine enema in treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction after resection of colorectal cancer is clear,it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To observe the effect of astragalus polysaccharides ( APS) on glucose homeostasis regulation and focus on glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3 beta) activity and subcellular localization (nuclear translocation).Methods HepG2 human hepatoma cells were cultured in vitro and treated with high glucose of different concentrations (30, 40 mM) to induce hepatocyte endoplasmic reticulum stress model, then acquire optimum operating concentration.The HepG2 cells were treated with APS of different concentrations (50, 100, 200, 400 μg/mL) to select the most effective concentration.The HepG2 cells were divided into seven groups with different treatment: negative control group (C), positive control group (Tm), 30 mM high glucose-induced group (G30), 45 mM high glucose-induced group (G45), negative control+APS group (CA), positive control+APS group ( TA) and high glucose-induced+APS group ( GA).Effect of APS at different concentrations on proliferation activity of HepG2 cells were detected by MTT assay, transcription and shear levels of XBPlmRNA in HepG2 cells by quantitative real-time PCR, and phosphorylation levels of GSK3βin cytoplasm and nucleus by immunoblotting techniques.Results The optimum operating glucose concentration was 30 mM.The most effective APS concentration was 200μg/mL.The transcription and shear levels of XBPlmRNA in HepG2 cells of GA group were lower than those of G30 group ( P<0.05), respectively, but there were no significant differences between TA and Tm group.The phosphorylation levels of GSK3βin cytoplasm and nucleus of GA group were higher than those of G group(P<0.05), respectively, but there were no significant differences between TA and Tm group. Conclusion APS could improve hepatic steatosis, and its mechanism might be that APS inhibits the activity and nuclear localization of GSK3β, then alleviate endoplasmic reticulum stress.
