Objective:To observe efficacy of Weichangshu in treatment of diabetic gastroparesis(DGP).Methods:96 cases of DGP conformed with the criteria were randomly divided into two groups.They were treated by oral administration of Weichangshu and Mosapride respectively for 4 weeks in addition to original treatment program for controlling blood sugar.Changes of clinical symptoms,FBG and P2hBG,gastric antrum-duodenum interdigestive period migrating motion compound wave(MMC)and electrogastrogram(EGG)before and after treatment were investigated.Results:Clinical symptoms were significantly improved in both groups.The markedly effective rate was 62.50% and the total effective rate was 91.67% in the Weichangshu group,and the corresponding index was 60.42% and 89.58% in the Mosapride group.After treatment,MMC significantly improved in both groups,with significant differences in lasting time of phase Ⅱ,and phase Ⅲ,and the contraction amplitude as compared with those before treatment(P

[Objective] To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Oleum Curcumae Aromaticae (OCA) on leukemia cell strain HL-60 and K562 by observing its sensitivity in inhibiting HL-60 and K562. [Methods] Subculture of HL-60 and K562 cells was performed on the 96-hole culture plate and OCA 100?L at the final concentration of 400, 200, 100 and 50mg/L respectively was added. The blank control was added with RPMI-1640 culture fluid. After 24, 48 and 72 hours of treatment, MTF 10?L (5mg/mL) was added and the inhibitory rate on the cells was assayed by detecting the absorption value at 570nm wavelength. [Results] The inhibitory effect of OCA on HL-60 and K562 increased with the treatment time. The difference of inhibitory rates 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment were significant (P

BACKGROUND: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system existed in bone tissue. Recent studies on antihypertensive drugs found that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor type antihypertensive drug was possibly effective for osteoporosis. Perindopril is one of the commonly used antihypertensive drugs. Whether perindopril affected bone metabolism or could be used in anti-osteoporosis has not been reported.
OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of perindopril on bone metabolism in a rat model of osteoporosis induced by retinoic acid.
METHODS: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups, with ten in each group. In the model group and each perindopril groups, rats were intragastricaly administered retinoic acid solution 80 mg/kg per day. After successful model establishment, rats in different perindopril groups were intragastrical y administered perindopril 2, 4 and 8 mg/kg per day, once a day, for 42 consecutive days. In the normal control and model groups, rats were given an equal volume of distil ed water. Serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, bone mass and bone mineral density were detected in each group. Expression of bone specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase mRNA in bone tissue was determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, after treatment with perindopril, serum calcium and phosphorus levels were increased, alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly decreased, bone mass and bone mineral density were obviously increased in rats with retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis. Expression of bone specific alkaline phosphatase mRNA was higher in the perindopril 8 mg/kg group than in the perindopril 2 and 4 mg/kg groups and model group. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase mRNA expression was higher in the perindopril 8 mg/kg group than in the model group. These results indicated that perindopril could improve partial bone metabolic biochemical markers in osteoporosis rats, promoted bone formation by up-regulating bone specific alkaline phosphatase mRNA expression, and had a certain preventive effect on retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis.

To observe the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture plus three-step analgesic ladder for cancer pain relief.Method:Thirty-siX cases with cancer pain were randomized into a treatment group and a control group.Twenty-four cases in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture plus three-step analgesic ladder approach and 12 cases in the control group were treated with three-step analgesic ladder approach alone.Result:The total effective rate and marked effect rate of the treatment group were 95.8%and 54.2% respectively,while those of the control group were 83.3%and 25.0%respectively,indicating a significant statistical difference (P＜0.05) in terms of the therapeutic efficacy of the two groups and acupuncture plus three-step analgesic ladder approach can further improve the therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the dissection and hemostasis effects of harmonic scalpel in laparoscopic surgery. Methods The effect in patients underwent laparoscopic surgery with harmonic scalpel or with high frequency electricity scalpel was compared. Results All the operations were done by laparoscopy.No complications or massive blood loss occurred during and after operation.The average operation time ,blood loss of operation with harmonic scalpel were less than that with high frequency electricity scalpel. Conclusions Harmonic scalpel has precise cutting , controlled coagulation, and less tissue injury,it can increase the safety and microsurgery techinque of laparoscopic surgery.It is a very important equipmeat and useful for laparoscopic surgery .

Objective To study the significance and expression relationship among STAT1,STAT2 and hMLH1 ,hMSH2 proteins in hepatocellur carcinoma(HCC). Methods SABC immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of STAT1,STAT2,hMLH1 and hMSH2 proteins in cancer tissues and paracancer tissue from 37 patients of HCC.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) during propofol-induced apoptosis in hippocampal nerve cells of newborn rats.Methods Sixty male 7-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 10-15 g,were divided into 6 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table:normal saline group (group NS),fat emulsion group (group F),propofol group (group P) and different doses of dexmedetomindine groups (group D25,group D50 and group D75).Normal saline and fat emulsion 100 μl were injected intraperitoneally in group NS and group F,respectively.In group P,propofol 50 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected,and an increment of propofol 50 mg/kg was added after righting reflex completely recovered,with the total amount of 100 mg/kg.In group D25,group D50 and group D75,dexmedetomidine 25,50 and 75 μg/kg were intraperitoneally injected,respectively,and 30 min later propofol 100 mg/kg was administered.At 2 h after emergence,the rats were sacrificed,their brains were removed for determination of apoptosis in hippocampal nerve cells (by TUNEL),and the hippocampi were isolated for detection of the expression of GSK-3β and phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) by Western blot analysis.The apoptosis index (AI) and ratio of p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β were calculated.Results Compared with group NS,AI was significantly increased,the expression of p-GSK-3β was down-regulated,and the p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β ratio was decreased in P,D25,D50 and D75 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group P,AI was significantly decreased,the expression of p-GSK-3β was up-regulated,and the p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β ratio was increased in D25,D50 and D75 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group D25,AI was significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the expression of p-GSK-3β or ratio of p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β in D50 and D75 groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group D50,AI was significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the expression of p-GSK-3β or ratio of p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β in group D75 (P＞0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine attenuates propofol-induced apoptosis in hippocampal nerve cells may be related to inhibition of GSK-3β activity in newborn rats.
