Preventive effect of pollen, (at 5～10g/kg/d orally for 1 month) on obe-sity and elevation of lipid in serum and liver was observed in obese mice induced by sub-cutaneous injection of L-monosodium glutamate (MSG)2 mg/g from 1st to 5th day afterbirth. The results showed that in MSG-treated mice the body weight and weight of fatin groin, around kidney, and in abdominal cavity and also the Lee's index were all redu-ced by pollen given orally before onset of obesity caused by MSG and during development.The total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in serum and liver were much higher in theMSG mice than normal mice. These results indicated that ora1 administration of pollencould prevent obesity of MSG treated mice.

Objective To explore the effect of integrated rehabilitation on bed-ridden and complcations of the elderly. Methods 109bed-ridden inpatients who accepted rehabilitation were designed as rehabilitation group. 100 bed-ridden inpatients who did not accept rehabilitationwere randomly elected from all the inpatients at the same time were designed as the control group. Their bed-ridden rate, complications,and Modify Barthel Index (MBI) were compared. Results The MBI impoved, and the incidence of bed-ridden and complications reducedin the rehabilitation group compared with those in the control group (P=0.00) after treatment. Conclusion Integrated rehabilitationcan effectively reduce the bed-ridden rate and complications, and improve the activity of daily living of the elderly.

Objective To investigate a clinically perspective way of inducing transplantation tolerance. Methods Kidney transplantation model was established using Lewis (RT1 l) rats as recipients and DA (RT1 a) rats as donor. Before transplantation the recipient rats were conditioned with anti lymphothyte serum (ALS) injected for three times, followed by 10 8 donor bone marrow cells transfusion (BMT) and injection of 100 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CP), survival time of kidney allografts, mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) of recipient to donor spleen cells were observed and studied. Results 5 of the 7 kidney allografts survived 73 to 90 days without sign of rejection. The donor specific MLR and DTH were suppressed. Conclusions Induction of transplantation tolerance is a prospective way for the prevention of allograft rejection.

Objective To investigate the insulin and glucagon levels in the patients with different islet cell antibody (ICA) subtypes and to explore the pathogenesis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adult (LADA). Methods Subjects were classified by immunohistology and 29 ICA-peripheral-positive DM patients, 28 ICA-diffused-positive DM patients and 17 controls (ICA-negative) were included. Serum glucose, insulin and plasma glucagon were measured at 0, 30, 60, 120 min after standard meal. Results (1) As compared with controls, glucagon in ICA positive groups were higher (both P

A number of compounds extracted from plants have cert ain physiological and pharmacological activity.Some of these compounds had been proved to have the ability to induce tumor cell apoptosis and demonstrated antitumor activity depending on their chemical structures.This review focuses on recent progress in the studies about the mechanism of tumor cell apoptosis induced by plant extracts including alkaloids,terpenes and lignans.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate neoplasm were mainly disease which affect the living of the aging. Melatonin was a mainly hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which had a broad physiological effect. It was reported that melatonin affected the occurrence and development of the two diseases, meanwhile, the special melatonin binding site existed in the prostate tissue had been proved. This review focuses on recent progress in the studies about the aspects.

Objective To analyse the effect of microwave therapy on tennis elbow. Methods 60 patients with tennis elbow during September, 2007 to September, 2008 were divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment received microwave therapy while control group was treated with Diclofenac Diethylamine. All patients were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after the treatment.Results The VAS is lower in the treatment group than in the control group(P<0.01). Conclusion Microwave therapy is effective on tennis elbow.

Background Whether serum uric acid are related with ischemic stroke in essential hypertension (EH) is controversial. Objective To delineate the relationship between serum uric acid and ischemic stroke in EH. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in a cohort of 729 EH patients. Patients were classified into four groups according to serum uric acid level. The odds ratio for ischemic stroke was calculated with the lowest quartile as the reference. Results The prevalence of ischemic stroke in EH with quartile 4 of uric acid was higher than that in EH with quartile 1(37.9% vs 17.6%,P

Objective To investigate the effect of metabolic syndrome(MS) on the atrial fibrillation(AF) in patients with essential hypertension(EH).Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a cohort of 1810 hospitalization essential hypertension patients,which were divided into EH+non MS group(n=1155) and EH+MS group(n=655) according to MS criteria.Results Incidence of AF in EH+MS group was higher than that in EH+non MS group(14.4% vs 8.3%,P

Objective To study the killing effect of cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK cells) on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) and the lung adenocarcinoma' s radiation resistant cell line (A549RR).Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy volunteers were stimulated by different cytokines,and were induced into killer activity CIK cells.The phenotype of CIK cells were analyzed by flow cytometer.A549 and A549RR cell lines were cultured separately with the CIK cells.The absorbance value (A) of the cells was measured by CCK8,and the killing rates of all cells which were cultured for 24 and 48 hours with the CIK were calculated.Results The rate of CD3+ CD56+ cell was 45.8 ％ after culture for 14 d.The killing rates of CIK cells to lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and its radiation resistant cells A549RR were increased with the rise of the ratio of effective cells to target (5∶1-40∶1) and the increasing of culturing time (all P ＜ 0.001).The killing effect of CIK to A549 and A549RR cells had no obvious difference in the same culturing time and the same ratio of effective cells to target(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion CIK cells have strong anti-tumor effect against lung adenocarcinoma and its radiation resistant cells with high clinical application value.
