Objective To investigate the protective effects of glycine on the lung injury in acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP). Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation, ANP group,pretreated group and treatment group(with intravenous glycine 1g/kg). Serum TNF ? level,glutathione (GSH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in pulmonary homogenate were determined at 6, 12, and 24h hours after ANP induced. Pulmonary pathology and 3 day survival rate were compared between the groups.Results Compared with ANP group,in glycine pretreated group serum TNF ? level significantly reduced at 6,12, and 24h,while in glycine treatment group serum TNF ? level decreased at 24-hour . In glycine pretreated group or treatment group, the pulmonary GSH content were decreased.In both glycine pretreated group and glycine treatment group, pulmonary MPO activity decreased at 12 and 24h,and pulmonary pathologic severity significantly ameliorated and survival rate increased. Conclusions Although glycine can not increase the GSH synthesis,but giving prophylactic or therapeutic glycine may be effective in improving acute lung injury in ANP, probably through the inhibition of the infiltration and activation of leukocytes.

This paper reported a sporadic case of a 29-year-old Han female diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) by next generation sequencing (NGS),one of genetic analysis techniques.She was admitted because of recurrent intractable seizure for 26 years,dizziness and headache for 3 months.Physical examination revealed angiofibromas over her face,shagreen patches in her lower back area,and hypomelanotic macules around her limbs and body.Cranial MRI manifested lesions on lateral ventricles,cerebellar vermis and left temporal lobe with abnormal signal changes on both sides of extensive cerebral cortex.A pathogenic and heterozygous missense mutation,c.T1967C,in exon 16 of her TSC1 gene was found via genetic tests,which has not yet been reported before.

Compared with patients with high-middle rectal cancer,local recurrent rate of low rectal cancer in patients is worse.The poor outcome of low rectal cancer is due to the unique anatomical features of the low rectum and the lack of clearly defined anatomical excision planes.Therefore,how to use the appropriate imaging methods,evaluate accurately preoperative cancer staging,plan feasible surgical plane and select the appropriate surgical approach,these will be very important for radical resection of rectal cancer.Therefore,the quality of life and long-term survival of the patients will be improved.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, histopathological patterns and causes of misdiagnosis of primary malignant tumor in small intestine (PMTSI). Methods The clinical data of 90 cases of PMTSI confirmed by pathology admitted from 1981 to 2002 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results The main pathological patterns of PMTSI were adenocarcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma and malignant neurilemmoma. The common clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, anemia and hemorrhage, jaundice, weight loss and intestinal obstructions. Preoperative diagnosis rate was 22.2%(20/90). It was easily misdiagnosed as other digestive tract diseases and pelvic disorders. Preoperative misdiagnosis rate was 77.8%. Conclusions The main pathological patterns of PMTSI are adenocarcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma and malignant neurilemmoma.Its clinical manifestations and diagnostic examination methods are not good enough, which usually leads to misdiagnosis ,so attention must be paid.

To investigate the effect of thiopental sodium on the release of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from synaptosomes in the prefrontal cortex, synaptosomes were made, the spontaneous release and the evoked release by 30 mmol/L KCl or 20 micromol/L veratridine of glutamate and GABA were performed under various concentrations of thiopental sodium (10-300 micromol/L), glutamate and GABA concentrations were determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Our results showed that spontaneous release and evoked release of glutamate were significantly inhibited by 30 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 300 micromol/L thiopental sodium, IC50 of thiopental sodium was 25.8 +/- 2.3 micromol/L for the spontaneous release, 23.4 +/- 2.4 micromol/L for KCl-evoked release, and 24.3 +/- 1.8 micromol/L for veratridine-evoked release. But GABA spontaneous release and evoked release were unaffected. The study showed that thiopental sodium with clinically related concentrations could inhibit the release of glutamate, but had no effect on the release of GABA from rats prefrontal cortical synaptosomes.

Leptin,a polypeptide hormone coded by Ob-gene,has the functions of depressing appetite,reducing caloric intake and enhancing caloric consumption,etc.Leptin has a close relationship with kidney,for it is metabolized and eliminated via kidney.Meanwhile,leptin can also directly affect kidney functions,influencing the process of chronic renal failure.Furthermore,hyper-leptinemia is associated with anorexia,malnutrition and cardiovascular diseases.Different dialysis patterns may also play different roles in cleaning leptin.For example,common dialysis could not clear leptin,but other dialysis modes such as high permeability dialysis,hemodiafiltration,and mastic absorption hemoperfusion can alleviate hyper-leptinemia through cleaning leptin partly.For kidney transplantation patients,hyper-leptinemia may affect the immune balance which has been maintained for a long time.

This article proposes the integrated outline of excessive heat accumulated in chest syndrome from the view of Fu-viscera disease of sanjiao based on numbers of clinical experiences,which can prove that the objective existence and theory of sanjiao fu-viscera has specific significance.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of RNA interference(RNAi)on WT1 gene expression in HL-60 cell line.Methods Several pairs of small interfering RNA(siRNA)for WT1 gene was designed and transfected into HL-60 cells.WT1 gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR,and WT1 protein expression was tested by Western blot.Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell apoptosis.Results The expression rates of WT1 mRNA and the expression rates of WT1 protein were(23.62%?1.28%),(23.20%?1.04%),respectively in HL-60 WT1 siRNA-transfected cells,significantly lower than those of control cells(P

Dioxin,as a kind of strong carcinogenic substance,a kind of environment hormone with tremendous harm,can get into human body through food chain and accumulate in fat of animals and persons,forming serious threat to human health. Dioxin has been included in the list of monitoring objects in food part of the global environment monitoring program as a new environmental pollutant by World Health Organization. In this paper,the toxicity,the source of dioxin and its impact on human health and prevention and control measures are introduced.
