Objective To investigate the effect of early enteral nutrition combined with synbiotics agents on normal intestinal flora,fecal SIgA and infectious complications in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods Fifty-three patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into early enteral nutrition group (control group,n =26) and early enteral nutrition combined with synbiotics group (study group,n =27).The patients in control group started receiving enteral nutrition (RuiSu) within 24 to 48 hours after injury ; Patients in study group received a enteral nutritional support which as well as control group,but added synbiotics (Golden Bifid) in the first 14 days of enteral nutritional support.Stool specimens were Collected on day 0,day 4,day 8,day 15 of enteral nutrition support for quantitative analysis of normal intestinal flora and detection of stool SIgA through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The difference of two groups in infectious complications were observed.Results On nutritional support day 8 and day 15,escherichia coli (P =0.004,P =0.004) and enterococci (P =0.032,P =0.048) expression were lower in study group than the control group,bifidobacteria (P =0.046,P =0.024) expression were higher in study group than the control group.During the study period lactobacillus,bacteroides and clostridium were no statistically significant between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Fecal SIgA expression in study group was higher than control group (P =0.035) on nutritional support dayl5.The incidence of infectious complications in study group was lower than the control group (33.33％ vs.46.15％),but there was no significant difference (P =0.230).Conclusion compared with ordinary enteral nutrition,enteral nutrition combined with synbiotics agents can be effective in improving intestinal flora imbalance and increase intestinal immune function in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To study the nutritional status in different age patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy. Methods Ninety nine patients with esophageal carcinoma accepted radiotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from June 2012 to August 2013 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups by their age: the younger age<60 years; and the older age ≥60 years. Nutritional status was measured weekly during radiotherapy, and European Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002 were used to evaluate the risk of malnutrition. Results The malnutritional incidence during radiotherapy was 23.5%-29.4% and 33.8%-49.2% in the younger group and the older group, respectively. Compared with baseline nutritional parameters, triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) of the<60 years group started to differ at the first week after the start of radiotherapy (first week to the sixth week:9.14±8.67;7.80±2.90;7.62±2.83;7.56± 2.79;7.90±2.91;7.36±2.67, respectively, all P<0.01);compared with baseline nutritional parameters(2.09± 1.28), ≥60 years group started to differ at the second week (2.34 ± 1.24, P<0.05) after the start of radiotherapy for NRS2002 the third week, 2.49 ± 1.24, P=0.016;the fourth week, 2.51 ± 1.30;P=0.013, the fifth week, 2.55 ± 1.29, P=0.006; the sixth week, 2.57 ± 1.26, P=0.004. There was no significant difference between each time point for TSF in>60 years group (P>0.05). No significant difference was found for body mass index (BMI), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC) in each group (P>0.05). Conclusion The elderly patients with esophageal cancer had significantly increased risk of malnutrition and decreased nutritional status than the younger patients during radiotherapy. Early start of nutrition interventions in the elderly patients may be benefitted.

AIM: To observe the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by monocytes cultured with electrical burn serum, and to explore the effect of VEGF on monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion.METH-ODS:The electrical burn serum of the rat was prepared.The normal serum from the rats without treating electric current was also collected for control.The contents of VEGF and its soluble receptor sFlt-1 in electrical burn group were determined by double-antibody sandwich ELISA.THP-1 cells were randomly divided into normal serum group and electrical burn serum group.The contents of VEGF and sFlt-1 in the culture supernatants were measured by double-antibody sandwich ELISA. THP-1 cells were also randomly divided into another 4 groups:normal serum group, electrical burn serum group, normal serum +inhibitor group and electrical burn serum +inhibitor group.THP-1 cells, which were incubated with the serum for 3 h and 6 h, were labeled with calcein-AM and then were added into the well with monolayer of endothelial cell line EA.hy926 to detect monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion.RESULTS:The levels of serum VEGF of the rats with electrical burns were significantly increased, the levels of serum sFlt-1 were significantly decreased as compared with the controls. The levels of VEGF secreted by THP-1 cells cultured with electrical burn serum were significantly increased, the levels of sFlt-1 were decreased correspondingly.Electrical burn serum enhanced monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, sFlt-1 inhibi-ted the adhesion between monocytes and endothelial cells.CONCLUSION:The monocytes exposed to the electrical burn serum secrete VEGF, which enhance the adhesion between monocytes and endothelial cells.Blockage of VEGF activity may effectively inhibit monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of immediate-effect moxibustion combined with massage for the treatment of knee stiffness after knee ligament reconstruction surgery.Methods A total of 138 patients after knee ligament reconstruction surgery were randomly divided into control group and observation group,69 cases in each group.The control group received joint rehabilitation therapy,which included TDP light radiation,joint exercise by continuous passive motion apparatus,contraction and relaxation of quadriceps femoris muscle and ankle pump.The treatment group was given immediate-effect moxibustion combined with massage based on the treatment for the control group.The treatment lasted from postoperative day 3 to 14.Before and after treatment,Lysholm knee joint scores,joint activity scores and activities of daily living(ADL) scores of the two groups were observed.Results After treatment,the Lysholm knee joint scores,joint activity scores and ADL scores of the two group were obviously increased (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 compared with those before treatment),and the increase in the observation groups was superior to that in the control group,the differences of the alove indexes except for joint activity scores being statistically significant between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Immediate-effect moxibustion combined with massage is effective on preventing knee from postoperative ankylosis after knee ligament reconstruction surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the study of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance. METHODS: The Pubmed database was researched using the computer for articles published from January 2000 to December 2008 using the key words of "bone marrow cells, transplantation immune tolerance" in English. Simultaneously, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and China Journal Full-text Database were retrieved for articles published from January 2000 to December 2008 using the key words of "bone marrow cells, immune tolerance" in Chinese. Besides, Organ Transplantation, Transplantation Immune Tolerance and Conference Proceedings of English and Chinese were retrieved by hand. Inclusion criteria: relevant mechanism of immune tolerance; scheme of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance; advantages and disadvantages of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance; articles in the same circle published in recent years or in authorized journals. Exclusion criteria: repetitive studies or irrelevant articles. RESULTS: Mechanism of immune tolerance comprised cleaning, inability, regulation or inhibition, and ignorance. The scheme of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance mainly contained bone marrow cell infusion combined with myeloablative pretreatment, bone marrow cell infusion combined with non-myeloablative pretreatment, pretreatment with immunosuppressive drug or chemotherapeutics, pretreatment of costimulatory signaling blockage, bone marrow cell combined with mesenchymal stem cell infusion. Bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune toleranca could induce long-lasting stable specific immune tolerance by effective immune tolerance mechanism, and had been an effective main method for inducing transplanted tolerance. CONCLUSION: Up to now, clinical immune tolerance is still uncontrollable and facultative. Bone marrow cell infusion-induced stable immune tolerance can develop a new space for organ transplantation.

An effective method has been developed for laboratory scale production of IgG. Hybridomas were cultured in serum-free media with 2% IgG-free ascites. Cell density of up to 3.55 × 10 6cells/ml and antibody concentration of 135μ g/ml after purification were abtained, which is four time more than total production of that of IgG concentration in serum-free media. This in vitro method allows great improvement in antibodies production in batch tissue culture. The method reported here is easy to handle and is economical and universally adaptable.

RNAi is a process of effective gene silencing. Human papillomaviruses 16 (HPV16), as the most prevalent genotype of cervical cancer, encodes the E6 and E7 oncogenes, which is pivotal for maintenance of malignant phenotypes. Recently, some significant advances have been obtained in RNA interfering effect on HPV16 E6/E7. In vitro, it has been developed more effective vector systems and screened for more specific targeted sequences. In vivo, the corresponding animal models have been established, which lay a good foundation for the clinical research.

Objective To evaluate which parameters of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography(TVCDU) can effectively reflect blood flow in ovarian tumors. Methods TVCDU was preoperatively used to determine all the parameters of blood flow in 60 women with epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC) and 36 with benign ovarian cystadenomas (control group). Microvessel density(MVD) was tested in the tissue samples by immunohistochemical method(SP method). The parameters of TVCDU in EOC were compared with those in control group.The correlation between MVD and the parameters in EOC group and control group was analyzed. Results ①Statistical differences of arteria showing rate, arteria number, vasculature type, diastolic notch, PI, RI, S/D, TAMXV were seen between EOC group and control group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of diazepam on blood-brain barrier ( BBB ) after radiation-induced brain injury. Methods Two hundred and forty healthy male SD rats weighing 240-270 g were randomly divided into 4 group with 60 animals in each group: Ⅰ D-R group received intraperitoneal diazepam 5 mg?kg-1 30 min before irradiation; Ⅱ N-R group received no diazepam before irradiation; Ⅲ D-SR group received intraperitoneal diazepam 5 mg? kg-1 30 min before sham irradiation and Ⅳ N-SR group received no diazepam before sham irradiation. The animals were placed in a prone position awake without any anesthetics. The whole brain was irradiated by 4 MeV electron beam at a single dose of 30 Gy. The changes in BBB were assessed by (1) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the T1-weighted images, T2-weighted images and MRI enhancement images induced by Gd-DTPA; (2) Evans blue (EB) assay; 2% EB 3 ml?kg-1 was injected via femoral vein and 3 h later the animals were decapitated and EB content in the brain tissue was determined by spectrophotometry; (3) The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the brain tissue determined by immuno-histochemistry before irradiation ( T0 ) ( baseline) at 6 h (T1 ), 1 day ( T2 ) , 1 week ( T3 ) and 1 month ( T4 ) after irradiation.Results In group Ⅱ (no diazepam before irradiation) the signal intensity of T1-weighted images significantly decreased while the signal intensity of T2-weighted images and the enhancement rate significantly increased at T4. However in group Ⅰ (diazepam was given before irradiation) the changes in the MRI were significantly attenuated. The EB content at T1, T3 , T4 and the expression of VEGF at T1 , T, were significantly higher in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ . Conclusion Diazepam given before irradiation can protect BBB against irradiation injury by decreasing the expression of VEGF in the brain tissue and BBB permeability.

Objective To explore the characteristics of fetal movement and FHR variation elicited by acoustic stimulation and whether acoustic stimulation can replace vibroacoustic stimulation. Methods Ninety-four and seventy-six normal pregnant women for antenatal visit were recruited from the Woman's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from April 2002 to February 2003. All subjects were divided into 5 groups to be exposed to five different intensities of acoustic stimulations at 95,100,105,110,115 dB respectively and self-control of blank and vibroacoustic stimulation were designed. The fetal movements and FHR were recorded during the study. Results (1) The percentage of fetal movement evoked by 95,100,105,110,115 dB airborne sound was 15% , 89%, 83% , 83% , 95% respectively. The total percentage of fetal movement evoked by vibroacoustic stimulation was 99% for all subjects. The percentages of evoked fetal movement by 100,105,110,115 dB airborne sound were not significantly different from those by vibroacoustic stimulation. (2)The percentages of FHR acceleration ≥15 bpm in 100,105,110 and 115 dB airborne sound groups were 39%, 61%, 56% and 85%, respectively, while 92% for all cases evoked by vibroacoustic stimulation was significantly higher than those evoked by 100,105 and 110 dB airborne sound group but with no significant difference to 115 dB airborne sound group. (3)The peak value in FHR evoked by 95,100,105, 110 and 115 dB airborne sound were -4. 5 bpm, 12 bpm, 17 bpm, 14 bpm and 20. 5 bpm, respectively. The peak FHR acceleration evoked by vibroacoustic stimulation was 23 bpm which was significantly higher than those by 100,105,110 dB airborne sound and no significant difference was detected between 115 dB airborne sound and vibroacoustic stimulation group. (4)Compared with 115 dB airborne sound, vibroacoustic stimulation evoked significantly longer duration of FHR tachycardia (42. 5 s vs 5 s, P = 0. 011) and fetal movement (270 s vs 100 s, P = 0. 000). Conclusions Acoustic stimulation at 115 dB is able to elicit efficient fetal movement and FHR acceleration without prolonged tachycardia, fetal behavioral disorganization or excessive fetal movement and is reasonable to replace vibroacoustic stimulation for awaking fetuses combined with NST.
