Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of BCG-PSN on respiratory infection of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods 48 cases with COPD were randomly divided into two groups:the BCG-PSN group and the control group.The BCG-PSN group received BCG-PSN,0 5mg,im,twice a week for 18 times injection in addition to the routine therapy,and the control group only received routine therapy.Both groups were followed up every two weeks for six months.The serum IgA,IgG,IgM levels were determined before and 4,24 weeks after the treatment.Results Cases of infection and their lasting days,infective rate in the BCG-PSN group were significantly lower than that of the control group(P

Objective: To observe the changes of blood coagulation factors and inflammatory factors and the regulatin effect of Omegaven.Methods: Thirty ICU patients were randomly allocated into two groups: Omegaven group and control group.Serum concentrations of NF-κB、PGF1α、Eselectin、sICAM-1、TAT、D-dimer、TMD、PF1+2 were measured before and after parenteral nutrition.Results: Patients in control group had significantly higher NF-κB、Eselectin、sICAM-1、TAT、D-dimer、TMD、PF1+2 concentration,lower PGF1α concentration.Patients treated with Omegaven had significantly lower NF-κB、Eselectin、sICAM-1、TAT、D-dimer、TMD、PF1+2 concentration,higher PGF1α concentration.Conclusion: Omegaven can suppress inflammatory reaction and improve coagulopathy.

AlM: To observe the effect of dacryocystorhinostomy for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis using nasal endoscope and discuss the operation technique. METHODS: A retrospective clinical analysis was performed on the clinical data followed up for 6 ~12mo from 140 patients (169 eyes) with dacryocystorhinostomy for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis using nasal endoscope. The effect of the treatment was evaluated and the operation technique for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis using nasal endoscope was discussed.RESULTS: ln all of cases 155 eyes ( 91. 7%) were recovery, 3 eyes ( 1. 8%) were improved, and 11 eyes (6. 5%) were failure. The total efficiency was 93. 5%, there was no significant difference compared with traditional dacryocystorhinostomy group (χ2=3. 743, P>0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Dacryocystorhinostomy using nasal endoscope for treatment of chronic dacryocystitis has a good curative effect. Techniques including lacrimal sac location and size, colostomy position and size, treatment of colostomy mucosal flap and nasal disease, postoperative follow - up and physical condition of patients are likely to affect the operation curative effect.

Osteoclasts are derived from pluripotent stem cells in bone marrow and spleen.They play a critical role in inflammation-induced bone loss and joint destruction because in the absence of them,bone de- struction does not occur even when inflammation exists.Synovioblasts in an inflamed joint can secrete numerous inflammatory factors,including tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-?)and interleukin-1(IL-1)which not only induce inflammatory reactions but also elevate osteoclast formation and function indirectly or directly through promoting RANKL expression.In this wdy the inflammatory reactions are associated with bone loss and destruction. In this article,we focus on the recent progress in study of TNF-?,IL-1 and osteoclast-target therapies in management of osteoclast-mediated inflammatory bone loss.TNF-?promotes differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells in the peripheral blood and spleen,which causes a marked increase in mature osteoclasts in a diseased joint.However, IL-I supports osteoblast survival and regulates the recombination of osteoclast cytoskeleton,which further stimulates bone resorption.Since osteoclast-target therapies may inhibit osteoclast formation and function,they are becoming more and more important for inflammation-induced bone loss and joint destruction.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors involved in the long-term effect after interventional treatment of diabetic lower extremity vascular disease.Methods The data of 358 diabetic patients with lower extremity vascular disease were collected retrospectively.The ankle-brachial index (ABI) values at the 6th, 12th and 24th month after interventional treatment were documented and the factors may influence ABI value werc analyzed.Results Single factor analysis showed that after 24 months treatment, the proportion of ABI＜0.5 (severe ischemia) in the patients combined with obesity, smoking, older age were 15.0％ (31/206), 18.4％ (25/136) , 12.1％(19/157) ,7.5％(15/200) ,while non obesity,younger age,no smoking,no hypertension were 6.6％ (10/152), 14.8％ (33/222), 6.5％ (13/201), 1.9％ (3/158), and the differences were significant (P ＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that old age (OR =1.341,95％ CI: 1.281-1.496, P =0.045), smoking(OR=2.301,95％ CI: 1.903-4.844,P=0.028) and obesity(OR=1.299,95％ CI: 1.270-1.588,P =0.038) were the independent factors influence the long-term therapeutic effects on diabetic lower extremity vascular disease.Conclusion Obesity, smoking, old age are the main factors influence the long-term therapeutic effects on diabetic lower extremity vascular disease.

Objective To explore the therapeutical effects of enteral nutrition (EN) combined with panaxoside Rb1 on mouse modles of postoperative fatigue syndrome. Methods Totally, 72 male Sprague-Dawley mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, EN group, EN associated with high/middle/low dose panaxoside Rb1 groups (EHP group, EMP group, and ELP group, n = 12 in each group). Changes in body weight were measured before and after interventions. Learning and memory playback abilities, physical strength,and vim state were evaluate by Morris Water Maze test and Improved Tail Suspension test. Serum transferrin, prealbumin, fibronectin, and interleukin-2 levels were measured with ELISA. Serum albumin level was assayed with Bromcresol Green colorimetric technique. CD4 + and CD8 + proportions were assayed by flow cytometry. Results The body weight grew alternately in each group without significant differences ( P ＞ 0.05 ) except for model group.The latency period was significantly shorter in EN combined with panaxoside Rbl group than that in model group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) , and the frequencies of crossing platform in EHP group and EMP group were significantly higher than those in model group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The areas of struggling above domain in EHP group and EMP group were significantly larger than those in model group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), and the accumulated static time of rest in EHP group, EMP group, and ELP group was significantly shorter than that in model group ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Serum transferrin, prealbumin, fibronectin levels in EN combined with panaxoside Rb1 group were significantly higher than those in model group ( all P ＜ 0.05 ). The CD4 + T proportion and interleukin-2 level in EHP group, EMP group, and ELP group were significantly higher than those in model group (both P ＜0.05 ); however, CD8 + T proportion was not significantly different between three panaxoside Rbl groups and model group (P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion EN combined with panaxoside Rb1 can improve postoperative fatigue syndrome in a dose-dependent way, which may be explained by the fact that it can strengthen the postoperative nutrition, restrain hypermetabolism, and increase immunity.

Objective To investigate the effect of monosialoganglioside GM1 on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced inflammatory response in rats.Methods Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 350-450 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each):sham operation group (group S),group CPB and CPB + GMi group (group G).GM1 20 mg/kg was added to the priming solution in group G.While the equal volume of normal saline was given in group CPB.Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein at 3 h after termination of CPB for determination of plasma concentrations of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100β protein (by ELISA) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) (by radioimmunoassay).The hippocampi were isolated to detect the expression of hippocampal matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and IL-10 and NF-κB activity in hippocampal tissues by Western blot.Results Compared with group S,the plasma concentrations of NSE,S-100β protein,TNF-α and IL-6 and NF-κB activity were significantly increased,the expression of MMP-9 was up-regulated,and the expression of IL-10 was down-regulated in groups CPB and G (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group CPB,the plasma concentrations of NSE,S-100β protein,TNF-α and IL-6 and NF-κB activity were significantly decreased,the expression of MMP-9 was down-regulated,and the expression of IL-10 was upregulated in group G (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which GM1 reduces the CPB-induced brain damage may be related to reduction of the central and systemic inflammatory response in rats.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effect of the lobulated medial sural artery perforator flap in repairing soft tissue defect in hand or foot.

METHODSSince March 2012 to September 2014, 6 cases with soft tissue defects in hands or feet were treated by lobulated medial sural artery flaps pedicled with 1st musculo-cutaneous perforator and 2st musculo-cutaneous perforator of the medial sural artery. The size of the flaps ranged from 4.5 cm x 10.0 cm to 6.0 cm x 17.0 cm.

RESULTS5 cases of lobulated flap survived smoothly, only 1 lobulated flap had venous articulo, but this flap also survived after the articulo was removed by vascular exploration. All flaps had desirable appearance and sensation and the two-point discrimination was 6 mm in mean with 4 to 12 months follow-up (average, 7 months). Linear scar was left in donor sites in 3 cases and skin scar in 3 cases. There was no malfunction in donor sites.

CONCLUSIONSLobulated medial sural artery perforator flap is feasible and ideal method for the treatment of soft tissue defect in hand or foot with satisfactory effect.

Objective To discuss the impact of repeated contrast media exposure on renal function in patients who received coronary angiography ( CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) within 1 week after CTA of coronary ateries. Methods A total of 258 patients who received CAG or PCI after coronary CTA were divided into the study group ( n=132, patients had CAG/PCI within 1 week after CTA) and the control group ( n=126, patients had CAG/PCI 1-2 weeks after CTA). Serum creatinine, cystatin C and estimated GFR were tested before and on day 1, 2 and 3 after procedures. The occurance of contrast-induced nephropathy ( CIN ) was recorded. Resu1ts The baseline clinical characteristics of the patients between the two groups had no significant difference. Preoperative and postoperative serum creatinine, cystatin C and eGFR values on day 1, 2 and 3 had no significant difference between the two groups (all P﹥0. 05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of CIN between two groups (5. 3% in the study group vs. 4. 8% in the control group, P﹥0. 05 ) . Conc1usions It is safe and feasible for patients with eGFR≥60 ml/( min?1. 73 m2 ) to undergo CAG or PCI within 1 week after coronary CTA.

Objective To investigate the role of p53 in the regulation of heat shock protein(Hsp)84 and 86,and the correlation of their functional imbalances with accelerated brain aging and with suppressed tumorigenesis in SAMP8 mice(senescence accelerated mouse prone 8).Methods The mRNA and protein expressions of Hsp84 and Hsp86,and protein expressions of p53 pathway-related proteins(p21 and MDM2)in hippocampus of SAMP8 mice and their control SAMR1(senescence accelerated mouse resistant 1)mice were determined.Murine Neuro-2a cells were treated with 20 μmol/L Aβ25-35,and then mRNA expressions of p53,Hsp84 and Hsp86 in these cells were detected.Neuro-2a cells were co-transfected with p53 siRNA and pHsp84-Luc or pHsp86-Luc plasmid and treated with 20 μmol/L Aβ25-35,then promoter activity of Hsp84 and Hsp86 were detected in these cells.After co-transfection with pcDNA3.1-p53 or pcDNA3.1-p53DD and pHsp84-Luc or pHsp86-Luc plasmids,the neuro-2a cells were treated with 20 μmol/L Aβ25-35.Then promoter activity of Hsp84 and Hsp86 were detected in these cells at different concentrations of p53.Results The mRNA levels of Hsp84 and Hsp86 in the hippocampus of SAMP8 mice were significantly declined,which were 13.51% and 16.13% of SAMR1 mice,respectively(all P<0.01).Compared with the SAMR1 mice,the protein expressions of Hsp84 and Hsp86 in the hippocampus of SAMP8 mice were obviously declined(all P<0.01).Whereas,p53 pathway-related protein p21 expression was increased and MDM2 expression was decreased(all P<0.01).The mRNA expression of p53 in AD cells was significantly increased by 58%(P<0.01),whereas Hsp84 and Hsp86 mRNA levels were significantly decreased by 32% and 41%,respectively as compared with the normal cells(all P<0.05).Inhibition of p53 in AD cells could increase promoter activity of Hsp84 and Hsp86 significantly in a concentration-dependent manner(both P<0.05),whereas overexpression of p53 in the cells could lead to decreased promoter activity of them in a concentration-dependent manner(both P<0.05).Conclusions The p53 can negatively regulate the expressions of Hsp84 and Hsp86.The activity of p53/p21 pathway is increased,while Hsp84 and Hsp86 are inhibited in the brain of SAMP8 mice.Functional imbalance between p53 and Hsp84/86 might be the part of reasons causing accelerated aging and suppressed tumorigenesis in SAMP8 mice.
