Sepsis,a common clinical syndrome,comparing to septicaemia or bacteremia,has a more comprehensive pathophysiological process.Its pathogenesis is complex,including pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokine imbalance,intestinal bacterial translocation,immunosuppression,signal pathway activation,etc.Further study on the pathogenesis of sepsis is the theory foundation to explore the new method of sepsis.The diagnosis of sepsis pathogenesis,treatment principles and common virus infection induced sepsis are reviewed in this paper.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) siRNA or XIAP antagonist Embelin on the growth inhibition and apoptosis of hepatcellular cancer cell line HepG2,which was treated by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis (TRAIL). Methods HepG2 cells were tranfected either by XIAP siRNA or a negative control,followed by treatment with TRAIL,Embelin or a combination of the two.XIAP expression,cell growth,and caspase-3 activity were determined by Western blot,MTT assay and fluorescent caspase-3 assay,respectively.Cleaved PARP expression levels of were measured by Western blot.ResultsThe XIAP protein expression was significantly downregulated by transfection with XIAP siRNA.Compared with the negative control,the XIAP siRNA significantly inhibited the growth of HepG2 cells treated by 100ng/ml(6.8％ ±1.2％ vs.11.8％±4.0％,P＜0.05)and 1000 ng/ml (18.9％ ±2.0％ vs.26.6％ ±1.5％,P＜0.01)by TRAIL.TRAIL-induced caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage were also increased significantly by XIAP siRNA transfection.In addition,Embelin also significantly inhibited cell growth (P＜0.01),activation of caspase-3 (P＜ 0.01) and TRAIL-induced PARP cleavage.Conclusions Both XIAP siRNA and Embelin may potentially contribute to clinical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the application effect of clinical pathways in hospitalized inguinal hernia patients by using the Meta- analysis. MethodsPublished randomized controlled trials (RCT)in hospitalized inguinal hernia patients were searched and screened in CNKI、VIP、CBMdisc and Wanfang datebase under present standards.The quality of the included studies were evaluated and statistically analyzed by RevMan5.0 software. ResultsTotally 16 literatures including 1649 cases were eligible to the criteria (816 in clinical nursing pathways group and 833 in the traditional health education group)altogether.The Meta-analysis showed there were significant difference between the clinical pathway group and the traditional health education group in grasp of health knowledge,rate of patients,satisfaction degree,length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses. ConclusionsClinical pathways is superior compared with the traditional health education for hospitalized inguinal hernia patients.

Background and purpose: Mouse osteosarcoma model was widely used in osteogenic malignant tumor research, and it was helpful for studying the invasion and metastasis of the tumor cells when it was well marked in vivo. The purpose of this study was to establish mouse sarcoma cell lines (S180) that were infected with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP). Methods: EGFP-S180 expressing strong EGFP fluorescence was acquired by electroblot, and supplemented with G418 (800 mg/mL), c-Myc was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Meanwhile, the cancer-bearing model was established subcutaneously within the abdominal cavity. Results: EGFP-S 180 cells were cloned. There was no significantly difference between c-Myc expressions in S180 cells and those in EGFP-S180 cells (P>0.05), and between the cancer-bearing time subcutaneously and the time within abdominal cavity (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to in vitro and in vivo assay, it showed that EGFP-expressing S180 cells could be used for studying further the tumor biological behavior with fluorescence technology.

Objective To analyze the concentration changes of serum hypoxia stress peptide (HSP)and plasma nitrogen monoxidum(NO)in the entering mountain rapidly man and to explore the importance of HSP and NO in adaptation of man to altitude hypoxia.Methods The levels of serum HSP and plasma NO2-/NO3-were measured from 106 entering mountain rapidly men,105 altitude in habitant,105 altitude immigrant and 104 plain healthy controls,respectively by chromatometry and NO2-/NO3-reagent.Furthermore,the content of serum HSP was determined in 106 entering mountain rapidly men,respectively at the time of 24 h,48 h,76 h,l week and 1 month after entering mountain.Results The level of serum HSP was significantly higher in entering mountain rapidly men than in habitant,immigrant and plain controls(P＜0.05),while there was no statistical difference between in habitant,immigrant and plain controls(P＞0.05).At 24h after entering mountain rapidly,the level of serum HSP was significantly increased and reached the peak.At 48h and 76h,it was slightly decreased,but still maintained a high level.At 1 week and 1 month,it gradually and significantly went down,but was still significantly higher than that in plain controls.Similarly,the level of plasma NO2-/NO3-was significantly elevated in entering mountain rapidly man,compared with inhabitant,immigrant and plain controls(P＜0.05).It was lower in inhabitants and immigrants than plain controls,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion The present results demonstrated that the levels of serum HSP and plasma NO were significantly up-regulated in healthy adults after en tcring mountain rapidly in order to adapt to altitude stress,and restored gradually to the normal level as time went by.

Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a term that describes a novel form of angiogenesis, channels of which are patterned networks of interconnected loops of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive extracellular matrix forming by highly aggressive tumor cells instead of endothelial cells. VM is closely correlated with the invasiveness, metastasis and prognosis of related tumors. However, traditional anti-vascular therapies aiming at endothelial cells have no remarkable effects on malignant tumor with VM. Therefore, VM should be an important factor to consider in design of anti-angiogenesis therapies of highly aggressive tumors and it is expected to become a potential target for tumor therapy. Some recent progresses of anti- vasculogenic mimicry therapy are reviewed in this article.

Obesity is a major risk factor for the generation and development of diabetes, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and cancer. Obesity is accompanied with remodeling of adipose tis-sue, such as changed cell component and function, angiogene-sis, extracellular matrix remodeling and infiltration of inflamma-tory cells. It is important for the prevention of obesity to study adipose tissue remodeling. This review summarizes recent ad-vances in adipose tissue remodeling.
