Objective:To investigate the effects of sodium butyrate,the most important short chain fatty acids,on growth suppression and apoptosis of SHG-44 glioma cell line.Methods:Human glioma SHG-44 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L and 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate.The inhibition of cell growth was assessed by MTT spectropotometric analysis and immunohistochemisty methods.The apoptosis was observed by reverted microscope and transmission electron microscope.And mitochondrial transmembrane potential was detected by rhodamine 123 dyeing,which confirmed that SHG-44 cells suffered a mitochondrial path apoptosis.Results:Sodium butyrate treatment resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth,with proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression weakened.Furthermore,4 mmol/L sodium butyrate could induce the SHG-44 cells apoptosis.It was proved that cellular membrane shrunk,vacuoles existed in plasm,and apoptosis bodies occurred by morphologic observation.In addition,the △?m was decreased in apoptosis cells after 4 mmol/L sodium butyrate treatment.Conclusion:These results indicate,in malignant glioma SHG-44 cells,sodium butyrate could not only suppress cell growth,but also induce apoptosis by a mitochondrial path.

In view of the increased incidences of cardiac arrest outside hospital year by year and younger tendency of the patients,foreign medical education practice showed that school-age children accepting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skill training will benefit most from this survival skill in the future.This article elaborated on the meaning and methods of promoting CPR training in primary and middle school based on the present situation of CPR in order to promote its further development.

Objective To investigate the effect of sodium butyrate on the growth suppression and cellular differentiation of cultured SHG 44 glioma cell line Methods Human glioma SHG 44 cells were treated with 2 mmol/L sodium butyrate The inhibition of cell growth was assessed by MTT spectrophotometric analysis and AgNORs analysis The cellular differentiation was determined by flow cytometry, electron microscopy, immunohistochemical method and agglutination test Results Treatment of SHG 44 cells with sodium butyrate resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth and G1 S transition in time dependent and dose dependent manners Sodium butyrate could induce differentiation of SHG 44 cells with regularized nuclei and increased heterochromatins The mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum increased in density in normal state Furthermore, SHG 44 cells expressed more GFAP but less vimentin, and the agglutination degree decreased obviously Conclusion Sodium butyrate may suppress glioma cells growth and induce differentiation of human glioma cells

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion is a common pathological state. Cognitive impairment is its main manifestation in early stage, and it will eventually result in persistent or progressive cognitive impairment and neurological deficits. Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion caused neuronal damage, synapse abnormity, energy impairment and the function defects of central cholinergic system and monoaminergic system are its pathophysiological mechanisms resulting in cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the ultrasonographic manifestations of traumatic neuroma after neck dissection in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 21 patients with 26 lesions who underwent neck dissection.The ultrasonographic characteristics were reviewed,including numbers,location,size,shape,margin,echogenicity,with or without direct continuity to the nerve fiber,the presence of internal hyperechogenicity and blood supply.Results Among the 26 lesions of 21 patients,25 lesions were in the lateral cervical area while the other one was in the central cervical area.The mean shortest diameter of the lesions was (3.5±1.0)mm and that of longest diameter was (9.1±2.9)mm.Totally 13 lesions were oval in shape and the other 13 were round.The clear margin was found in 13 lesions and fuzzy margin was observed in another 13 lesions.All the lesions were heterogeneously hypoechoic.The presence of internal hyperechoic areas were found in 16 lesions.The direct continuity with the nerve fiber was found in 20 lesions,while the other 6 lesions were not continued to the nerve directly.Color Doppler flow imaging showed that 20 of the 26 lesions existed a little blood flow signal and the other 6 lesions showed no flow signal.During the ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB),21 patients complained about the intolerable serious pain and the pain relieved when the needle removed.Conclusion Traumatic neuromas are hypoecho lesions located in the operation area after neck dissection in PTC with distinctive ultrasonographic features,especially the direct continuity with the nerve fiber,as well as the clinical histories and sharp pain during US-FNAB,which can help to diagnose.

Objective To explore the effect of intervention on depression and negative coping in elderly patients with chronic disease and provide a basis for mental health services. Methods Forty depression and negative coping of elderly patients with chronic disease were took psychological intervention for one year. Geriatric depression scale (GDS) and ways of coping scale (WCS) were used to assess the intervention effect. Results There was a high scores of GDS before the study (20.93?1.90)and the scores were reduced after intervention in Six months and the end of one year (17.88?1.80,11.80?1.60,respectively,P0.05). After intervention for one year,the patients applied more with positive coping styles such as problem sloving,help seeking and less with wince,illusion and self-criminating,there was a statistically significant difference (P
