Objective To explore the possible effect of combined treatment of zoledronic acid and doxorubicin on proliferation,invasion and adhesion of SGC7901 cell line,and potential underlying mechanisms. Methods MTT and Transwell experiments were used respectively to investigate the effect of different concentrations of zoledronic acid and doxorubicin on the proliferation,adhesion and invasion of SGC7901. The mRNA levels of MMP2, TIMP2, MMP9, ICAM1 and CD44 were quantified by real time PCR. Results Gastric cell line SGC-7901 were incubated with zoledronic acid for 48 h in different concentration of 10-6,10-5,10-4,10-3 mol/L,their inhibition rates were 4.98％,12.19％,27.34％ and 73.13％ separately,which were higher than control group (P＜0.01),and enhanced along with the dose increasing and the time extension (P＜0.05).Gastric cell line SGC-7901 was incubated with zoledronic acid 10-4 mol /L and doxorubicin 0.5 mg/L,respectively,or in combination for 2 h,4 h,6 h,and thereafter,the detected adhesion rates were 5.03％,24.38％ and 59.65％ in control group,4.40％,19.77％ and 51.22％ in zoledronic acid group,4.28％, 18.62％ and 51.02％ in doxorubicin group,4.02 ％,15.02％ and 46.95％ in combination group. The adhesion rates were reduced after incubation with different medicament concentration (P＜0.05).In the study of cell invasion,the cell numbers per high power field were:105.11 ± 10.43,98.37 ± 15.75,96.19 ± 9.24,83.02 ± 19.72 after treatment with zoledronic acid,doxorubicin or their combination at different concentrations. Compared with control, signal medicament had weak effectiveness in invasiveness in SGC-7901 (P＞ 0.05),whereas in combination group it was significantly decreased (P＜0.05).Both zoledronic acid and doxorubicin decreased the mRNA expressions of CD44,MMP2,MMP9,ICAM1 while increased TIMP2 mRNA level (P＜0.05or P＜0.01) versus control.The effect was more evident with combination treatment(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),compared with doxorubicin group. Conclusions Both zoledronic acid and doxorubicin can inhibit the proliferation,adhesion and invasion of SGC7901. Combination treatment has additive effect.It may be related to the down-regulation of mRNA of ICAM1,MMP2,MMP9,CD44 and up-regulation of mRNA of TIMP2.

This study aims to explore the impact on patient's liver and kidney function by different dosage of Kudiezi injection. This study retrospectively analyzed 15 228 patients' records from 18 nationwide general hospital information system (HIS). All patients were treated with Kudiezi injection, 1 956 patients that were given doses of > 40 mL, which is above the recommended dose, acted as the observation group. Fifty-five patients receiving the recommended dose of < 40 mL were the control group. Data about alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were collected before and after using Kudiezi injection, changes after treatment were outcomes. Also recorded were: age, costs, length of hospitalization and the patients' condition on admission. Propensity score method was used to balance 71 confounding variables such as gender, age, mortality, and costs. There were no significant difference on the four indexes between the two groups. It is hard to conclude that the use of Kudiezi injection over the recommended dose could influence the four indexes of liver and kidney from this data analysis. More conclusive evidence should be collected by further prospective study.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether signaling through Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) can affect the expression of some cytokines in human gingival fibroblasts.

METHODSThe gingival fibroblasts were isolated and cultured in vivo, divided into blank control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) group and Escherichia coli (Ec) group. mRNA expression levels were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The protein expression levels were detected by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data was statistically analyzed by SPSS16.0 software package.

RESULTSLPS from Pg could stimulate the expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) mRNA and protein, which reached the peak (5.87 ± 0.83) at 10 h, and the expression level increased with the increase of the Pg concentration. IL-11 or oncostatin-M (OSM) mRNA expression was not affected by LPS. After treated with Pg for 48 h, the protein expression of IL-6 and LIF was up-regulated, (962 ± 57) ng/L and (47 ± 18) ng/L respectively.

CONCLUSIONSSignaling through TLR-2 controls the expression of cytokines of IL-6 family in human gingival fibroblasts.

Objective To determine the clinical efficacy of limited internal fixation with posterior titanium plates for unstable atlas fractures.Methods A retrospective case series analysis was performed for 29 patients with unstable atlas fractures immobilized using the posterior titanium plate from January 2011 to November 2014.There were 22 males and seven females,with a mean age of 41.5 years (range,17-68 years).Ten patients were diagnosed with 1/2 ring Jefferson fractures,12 anterior 1/2 Jefferson fractures and seven patients posterior 3/4 Jefferson fractures.Frankel neurological performance scale was grade E in all patients.Operation time,amount of bleeding during operation and postoperative complications were recorded.X-ray and CT were performed to identify the fusion,internal fixation location and atlantoaxial stability.Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for craniocervical pain and cervical range of motion were evaluated.Results Mean duration of procedure was (86.6 ± 7.8) min (range,68-122 min) and mean blood loss was (120.0 ± 25.3) ml (range,90-400 ml).No vascular and neurologic complications were noted.All patients were followed up for (22.5 ± 18.0)months (range,12-32 months).CT scans confirmed bony union in all patients 6 months after operation.No plate-related complications,implant lessening and implant breakage occurred during the follow-up.Postoperative VAS [(1.9 ± 1.1) points] was significantly lower than that before operation [(7.2 ± 1.4) points] (P ＜ 0.05).At the last follow-up,the ranges of cervical flexion-extension [(81.3 ± 22.2) °] and rotation [(152.4 ±38.7) °] were close to the normal range.Conclusion Limited internal fixation with posterior titanium plates is a safe and effective surgical method that contributes to good reduction and maximal preservation of cervical physiological motion.

Objective To investigate the interconnection of the executive control network in major depressive disorder when they recognized the sad facial stimuli,and to discuss the aberrant mechanism of emotion processing.Methods Twenty major depressive patients and 20 well-matched healthy volunteers participated in the experiment.The brain actions of all subjects were recorded by the magnetoencephalography (MEG) when they were required to distinguish the emotion face.Based on prior knowledge,the interested brain area consisted of the primary visual cortex (V1),the orbitofrontal cortex(OFC),the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC),the anterior cingulated cortex (ACC).Then constructing three competing models to select an optimal model by the method of dynamic causal model(DCM),finally the differences of the effective connections of the optimal model between the depressed patients and healthy controls were analyzed.Results According to the results of Bayesian model selection (BMS),model 1 had the most exceedance probability of 0.80 with the features that there were bidirectional modulatory connections between the OFC,ACC and DLPFC.Given the best model,the parameters of effective connectivity of the optimal model were extracted,and then two-sample t-test over the model 1 was adopted.The modulatory effective connectivity from the OFC to the DLPFC in both hemisphere(t=-2.73,P=0.0096;t=-3.01,P=0.0046) and the OFC to the ACC (t=-2.93,P=0.0057) in the left hemisphere were significantly reduced in MDD.Conclusion There exists abnormal function of executive control network in depressed patients,the decreased effective connections between the OFC and the DLPFC,as well as the OFC and the ACC,may have correlation with the negative

Objective To investigate the incidence and treatment of posttraumatic cauda equina herniation associated with lumbar fracture.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 416 patients admitted due to lumbar burst fracture between June 1,2008 and June 1,2011.All the patients had been operated on via anterior or posterior approaches.Data collected included demographics,injury mechanism,radiographs,surgical procedures,outcomes and follow-up.Incidence of cauda equina herniation was documented.Results All surgeries were uneventful.Cauda equina herniation was observed in 49 patients (11.8％) during surgical exploration.Anterior surgery was done on 115 patients and found 7.8％ incidence of cauda equina herniation (9/115).Posterior surgery was done on 301 patients and found 13.3％ incidence of cauda equina herniation (40/301).There were 40 patients combined with laminar fracture and 38 of them had cauda equina herniation with the incidence rate of 95％.Among the 49 patients with cauda equina herniation,44 (90％) had neurological deficit and 5(10％) were found with good neurological function but significant proportion of cauda equina rootlets entrapped in the lamina fracture.Conclusions Lumbar burst fracture combined with neurological deficit and laminar fracture may increase the risk of posttraumatic cauda equina herniation and should be paid attention.Operations should be performed with caution to avoid further nerve damage.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of methylphenidate hydrochloride controlled-release tablets (OROS-MPH) on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods Seventy-two cases of children with ADHD were randomly divided into treatment group (40) and control group (32). Cases of treatment group were given 0.8-1.0 mg??kg-1 of OROS-MPH for three months. Cases of control group were given 1.2-1.4 mg??kg-1 of atomoxetine hydrochloride for three months. After 12 weeks treatment, children were evaluated by Wechsler intelligence test, Integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test (IVA-CPT), the SNAP-Ⅳ effect assessment scale and TESS scale. Results The treatment efficiency was similar in both groups. Attention deficit and hyperactivity in both groups were improved obviously. Wechsler intelligence score was significantly elevated ( P<0. 05), SNAP-Ⅳ score was significantly decreased ( P<0. 05), and IVA-CPT score was increased significantly after treatment ( P<0.05) . The changes of scores on hyperactivity, auditory attention and visual attention were more in OROS-MPH group than those in atomoxetine group(P<0.05). There was loss of appetite in 10 children of OROS-MPH group and in 14 children of atomoxetine group. There was drowsiness in 1 child of OROS-MPH group and in 5 children of atomoxetine group, as well as difficulty to fall asleep in 6 children of OROS-MPH group and 1 child of atomoxetine group (P<0.05). One child developed a transient spasm after 4-month treatment. Conclusion Both of OROS-MPH and atomoxetine hydrochloride can improve learning ability and the symptom of attention deficit and hyperactivity, and they are similarly effective and safe in children with ADHD, but OROS-MPH can work faster.
