Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of Lugol solution staining combined with nar-row band imaging (NBI)for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods From December 201 3 to December 2014,1 87 patients who were with suspicious esophageal lesions and stained with Lugol solution under endoscopy were selected as control group,while from January 2015 to June 2015,124 patients who were with sus-picious esophageal lesions and examined with Lugol solution staining and NBI under endoscopy were selected as observation group.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results One hundred and four cases (75.0%)were found among observation group,which was higher than 93 cases (55.6%)among control group (χ2 =12.07,P <0.01 ).The total detection rates of esophageal cancer and high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGN)were 29.0% and 17.7% in observation group respectively,which were higher than 1 8.2% and 6.4% in control group (χ2 =4.15,P =0.04;χ2 =8.54,P <0.01 ).The Kappa value in observation group was 0.55,which was higher than 0.36 in control group.The sensitivity and accuracy in observation group were 89.9% and 82.3% respectively,which were significantly higher than 71 .8% and 68.4% in control group (χ2 =9.79,P <0.01 ;χ2 =7.38,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The sensitivity and accuracy of endoscopic Lugol solution staining combined with NBI for esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions are higher than Lugol solution staining,and it is worthy to popularize the application of Lugol solution staining com-bined with NBI in diagnosing esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.

BACKGROUND:The chronic wounds, also cal ed non-heading wounds, can seriously affect the quality of life of patients and has brought heavy burden to patients, as wel as health care professionals. celltherapy is a new method for promoting wound healing and plays an important role in the repair of chronic wounds.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the progress of researches on the chronic wound healing mechanism and celltherapy, and to provide evidences for the clinical management of chronic wounds and relative basic researches.
METHODS:A computer search of CNKI database from 2005 to 2012, PubMed database from 1995 to 2012 and Foreign Medical Journal Ful-Text Service database from 2000 to 2012 was performed using“non-healing wounds, diabetic foot ulcer, wound healing, celltherapy”in Chinese and English as the key words to retrieve articles about chronic wound healing mechanism and the application of celltherapy. Total y, 42 articles meeting the inclusive criteria were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The wound healing is a complex biological process, involving multiple celltypes, extracellular matrix and cytokine factors. The delayed healing of refractory wound seriously affects the quality of life of patients and has brought heavy economic burden to patients. At present, many methods have been employed to promote wound repair, such as local hyperbaric oxygen therapy, surgical treatment, herbal Chinese medicine, application of various growth factors, celltherapy and gene therapy. celltherapy is noninvasive and those delivered cells can adapt to their environment, are able to release growth factors and cytokines, and more importantly, are able to deliver the growth factors for the wound healing process due to cellsignaling capabilities. Currently, cells used for the treatment of chronic wound cells mainly include bone marrow stem cells, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, cord blood stem cells, peripheral blood stem cells, epidermal stem cells, skin-derived progenitor cells, adipose stem cells, fibroblasts and platelets.

Brain injury is one of the most serious diseases in neonatal period,which can cause cerebral palsy,motor development delay,cognitive dysfunction and learning difficulties and other sequelae,and severely affects the health development and quality of life of the newborn.Neonatal brain injury (NBI) is a wide range of diseases caused by a variety of causes,its clinical manifestations lack specificity,clinically,it is difficult to judge the severity,duration and the time of prenatal injury,and it has been paid much attention to by scientific researchers and clinicians.At present,imaging method is a major means of NBI diagnosis,but imaging examination is usually a lag and limitations.Levels of humoral biomarkers change early after brain injury,and early brain injury can be predicted by detecting their changes.In recent years,a variety of sensitive brain damage biomarkers have been detected in various body fluids of newborns,mainly including neuron-specific enolase (NSE),ubiquitin carboxyl hydrolase L1 (UCH L1),S100B protein,tau protein,myelin basic protein (MBP),glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and activin A and so on.the application and research progress of these commonly used biomarkers in NBI are reviewed in this paper.

Objective Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at high risk for multi-organ failure and death. Few well-established scoring systems have been used in the cardiac surgery. We try to identify a feasible score system for the risk assessment after CABG. Methods 1028 consecutive patients who had received CABG and staying in a single cardiac postoperative intensive care unit of Anzhen hospital were enrolled in the prospective study between October of 2007 and May of 2008 and assessed daily with three score systems, the multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS), the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and our postoperative score for cardiac surgery (PSCS). Four new variances were added to PSCS system, which were Euroscore, IABP, ECMO and dialysis. Euroscore was considered as a preoperative factor which provided the preoperative information of the patient. IABP and ECMO were considered as assistant factors to support circulatory system. The dialysis was also considered as an assistant factor to support renal system. The differences with the respects of sensitivity and specificity among the three systems were compared with Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit and receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve. Results The new variances added to PSCS system were shown to be associated with mortality in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. The EXP(B) value for Euroscore was 3. 803, the EXP(B) value for IABP was 1. 645, the EXP(B) value for ECMO was 3.803, and the EXP(B) value for dialysis was 1.605. In discrimination analysis, ROC values of the operative day score were 0.602 for MODS, 0.571 for SOFA, and 0. 821 for PSCS; ROC values of the maximum score were 0.847 for MODS, 0.830 for SOFA, and 0.929 for PSCS; ROC values of the maximum score during the first 3 days were 0.838 for MODS, 0.814 for SOFA, and 0.919 for PSCS; score changes of ROC value between the third day and the first day were 0.767 for MODS, 0.779 for SOFA, and 0. 780 for PSCS. In calibration analysis, we compared the x2 values, P values and overall corrected percentage of the three different systems. x2 values of the three systems were 6. 763 for MODS, 4. 101 for SOFA, and 1.687 for PSCS; P values of the three systems were 0.454 for MODS, 0. 848 for SOFA, and 0. 975 for PSCS; overall corrected percentages of the three systems were 98.1%, 98%, and 98.3% respectively. Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of PSCS were superior to MODS and SOFA in predicting death risk after CABG.

ObjectivesTo investigate the expression of glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and cysteine asparate protease-12 (caspase-12) and neuronal apoptosis in the brain of zebraifsh larvae after hypoxia reperfusion, and the neuroprotective effect of taurine.Methods Five day old post-fertilization zebraifsh larvae were randomly assigned into 3 groups, control group, hypoxia reperfusion group (model group) and taurine group, and the taurine group was further divided into 3 subgroups according to different concentrations (1 mmol/L, 5 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L) with 100 zebraifsh larvae each. The behavior, recovery time and median survival time of those zebraifsh larvae after hypoxia with 1h reperfusion were observed and recorded. The pathological changes and apoptosis of neurons were detected by Nissl staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling. The expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 in the brain of zebrafish larvae were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, the recovery time was shortened, the median survival time was extended, the Nissl stained neurons was increased and the apoptotic neurons were decreased in the taurine groups. GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were expressed in model group and taurine group. The expression of GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 was much lower in taurine group than in model group.Conclusions Hypoxia reperfusion may induce endoplasmic reticulum stress and taurine may be neuroprotective against hypoxia reperfusion by down-regulating GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12.

Background Age-related cataract is the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide.To seek the effective prevention and drugs for management of cataract is important.Naphthalene-induced cataract of rat is an ideal animal model for the research of human age-related cataract,and aspirin has been proven to inhibit the development of human age-related cataract.ObjectiveThe present study is to investigate the role of aspirin on naphthalene-induced cataract.Methods Forty-five 150-160 g female SD rats were divided into three groups randomly.Naphthalene was orally taken with 0.5mg/kg per day for 3 days and then 1mg/kg per day for 70 days,and then 100mg/kg of aspirin was given per day for 70 days following four-day washout period in group A.In group B,the animals was given orally only naphthalene at the same way.No any intervention was used in group C.Naphthalene-induced cataract was examined under the slim lamp every week.The experimental animals were sacrificed and lenses were obtained in 70 days.α-Crystalline was extracted from lens homogenate and purified and identified using High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC),2-dimentional electrophoresis gel and Western blot.Different abilities of α-crystalline to protect β low crystalline from aggregation were observed using ultraviolet spectrophotometer.Results Naphthalene-induced cataract formed at the third week in only naphthalene group but at the sixth week in naphthalene+aspirin group under the slim lamp.No significant difference was found in the degree of lenses opacity in the second week among these three groups(F=0.032,P=0.969).However,a statistically significant difference was seen in the degree of lenses opacity in the fourth,sixth,eighth and tenth week among these three groups(F= 5031.130,P=0.000;F=115964.000,P=0.000;F=169846.500,P=0.000;F= 195431.200,P=0.000).Themolecular chaperone-like activity was significantly higher than that of the naphthalene-induced group.Conclusion Aspirin delays the progression of lens opacification through protecting α-crystalline molecular chaperone-like activity.
