Objective To investigate the effects of biological characters of the human ovarian cell line (OVCAR) by stable transfection short hairpin RNA into the target HMGA1 gene. Methods Experiments were divided into two groups: transfected the OVCAR cells with pSilence4. 1-CMV-Hs plasmid as group A, while transfected OVCAR cells with pSilence4. 1-CMV-Hn plasmid as group B, in which stably transfected cells were gained by antibiotic screening. The comparative expressions of HMGA1 were detected by RT-PCR and western blot. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method was applied to measure cell proliferation and at the same time, the cell growth curve was also be mapped. Vitro invasion assay was used to observe the invasion ability of the cancer cells, and the tumor growth of the nude mice inoculated of tumor cells were compared with before and after transfection. Results In group A, the expression level of mRNA and protein HMGA1 gene in OVCAR cells were remarkably reduced before and after the stable transfected with HMGA1 siRNA, in which the percents of mRNA expression were [(86.3±2.7) % vs. (35.8± 3.1) %, P<0.05], the expression of protein were [(68.6±2.8) % vs. (22.3±4.2) %, P<0.05)]. The OVCAR cell growth in stable transfection status was more significantly decreased than that in non-transfection status (P<0.05). In group B, there were no statistical difference in the expression of HMGA1 siRNA, protein and the cell growth between before and after transfection states (P>0.05). The invasion cell numbers were reduced from before to after transfection state in group A [(53±6)vs. (21±6), P< 0.05] ,while there was no significant difference in group B [(51±6)vs. (47±8), P>0.05]. After inoculated transfected cells into nude mice, it took (6.0±0.9) days to grow the planed tumors in group A, which was much shorter than that (12.3±3.9) days in group B (P<0.05 ). After 5 weeks, the tumor weight and volume in group A was were significantly lower than those in group B [(0.8±0.3)g vs. (2.1± 0.4)g, (205±34)mm~3 vs. (987±82) mm~3, all P <0.05]. Conclusion HMGA1 siRNA could remarkably reduce the expression of HMGA1 gene in ovarian cell and also inhabit the ovarian cell growth.

Objective To develop a high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method to determine the concentration of ampicillin and probenecid in human plasma.Methods A Symmetry ShieldTM RP18 column(5 ?m,150 mm?3.9 mm)was used.The mobile phases were 0.068 mol/L KH_2PO_4(pH 3.0)∶acetonitre(92∶8,V/V)for ampicillin,H_2O∶acetonitrile∶1 mol/L KH_2PO_4∶1 mol/L acetic acid(59.5∶39.8∶0.62∶0.062,V/V,0.15% triethylamine added to reach pH 2.76) for probenecid.The detective wavelength were at 254 nm for probenecid and 210 nm for ampicillin.Results The calibration curves obtained were linear in the range of 0.625-20 ?g/ml (r=0.999 9) of probenecid and 1.25-40 ?g/ml of ampicillin.Conclusion This analysis method is simple,sensitive and rapid,suitable for studying pharmacokinetics of ampicillin and probenecid.

Objective To introduce a self- assembled adjustable traction frame for the patients with severe trauma and lower limb fracture in ICU, compared with Brawns traction frame. Methods 96 patients with severe trauma and lower limb fracture diagnosed by clinical signs and X-ray who had to be transferred to ICU were randomly divided into the study group (46 cases) and the control group (50 cases) by sealing letters method.The study group were tracted by the self-assembled adjustable traction frame, and the control group were tracted by the Brawns traction frame. The fracture alignment, degree of pain, incidence of pressure ulcers, nursing limit time of changing the sheets of the two groups were observed. Results The results declared that 37 cases with 2 pain score points, 9 cases with 0-1 points in the study group and 19 cases with 2 pain score points, 3 cases with 0-1 points, 28 cases with Grade 3 in the control group (χ2=38.683, P<0.01). In the control group, pressure ulcer were occurred, 5 of them at Level one, 1 of them at Level two, 1 of them at Level three and the incidence rate was 14.00% (7/50). In the study group, pressure ulcer were occurred, 1 of them at Level two and the incidence rate was 2.17%(1/46). The pain level and incidence of pressure sore in the study group were decreased and the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2=8.197, P < 0.05). Conclusions The self-assembly adjustable traction rack can not only ensure the same effect as the Brawns traction frame but also reduce the deficiency caused by Brown traction frame. It is safer and more comfortable for the patients and can reduce nursing complications and improve the quality and efficiency of the nursing work.

The critical relative humidity of granule was 60%. CON-CLUSIONS:The Xiqingguo buccal tablet prepared by optimal prescription meets the requirements.

BACKGROUNDTo compare the therapeutic effect, adverse reaction and effect on immunity of chemotherapy combined Aidi injection (AI) with those of chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODSNinety eight cases of advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups, trial group and control group. In the trial group, NP plus AI (60 80 ml) were given intravenously by dissolving in 400 ml of normal saline per day for 8-10 days, while in the control group, only NP chemotherapy was given. Navelbine (25 mg/m², d1, 8) and cisplastin (40 mg/m², d1-3) were chosen in the chemotherapy. Each patient received at least two cycles of treatment.

RESULTSThe effective rate in the trial group and the control group was 53.1% and 44.9% respectively, without significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05). But the rate of progression, adverse reactions in bone marrow and digestive tract, and change of immunity in the trial group were all lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.05), and the improvement in Karnofsky score in the trial group was higher than that in the control group ( P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSChemotherapy of NP combined with AI shows benefit in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. AI could decrease the influence on immunity and adverse reaction of chemotherapy, and improve the quality of life in patients with NSCLC.

PURPOSE: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) develops in patients with chronic renal failure. This study aimed to compare analgesic efficacy in SHPT patients who undergo subtotal parathyroidectomy after superficial versus deep cervical plexus block. METHODS: Sixty chronic renal failure patients with SPHT scheduled for subtotal parathyroidectomy were randomized to receive general anesthesia (group GA), general anesthesia plus bilateral superficial and deep cervical plexus block (group BD), or general anesthesia plus bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (group BS) (n = 20). Bilateral superficial cervical plexus block or combined superficial and deep cervical plexus block with 0.5% ropivacaine was administered. Postoperative pain was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS: VAS score at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours after operation was 3.71 +/- 0.60, 2.72 +/- 0.54, 2.17 +/- 0.75 in BS group; 4.00 +/- 0.28, 2.89 +/- 0.21, and 2.46 +/- 1.01 in BD group, significantly lower than in GA group (6.50 +/- 0.50, 5.02 +/- 0.54, and 4.86 +/- 0.51, respectively). The dosage of tramadol was 109.0 +/- 35.2 mg in BS group and 93.0 +/- 24.52 mg in BD group, significantly lower than in GA group (300.0 +/- 27.13 mg). The incidence of complications in GA group (90%) was significantly higher than in BS group (30%) and BD group (15%). Serum glucose and norepinephrine levels were significantly higher at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours after operation, but returned to baseline levels at 24 hours after operation. CONCLUSION: Superficial cervical plexus block or combined superficial and deep cervical plexus block effectively reduces postoperative pain, stress response, and complications in SHPT patients who undergo subtotal parathyroidectomy.

With the mutual communication and penetration of traditional Chinese medicine and modem medicine,the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine is common in clinical practice.However,since western-style doctor is usually lack of traditional Chinese medicine theory knowledge,many problems exist in the combination of Chinese and western medicine.The problem that Chinese medicine containing ephedra alkaloids in combination with western medicine in pediatric medicine is especially serious.Because of the complexity of the children's drugs,improper use of the ephedra alkaloids is prone to adverse reactions.A comprehensive analysis of drugs containing ephedra alkaloids existing in the pediatric clinical application is performed,and in order to provide guidance for clinical rational drug use.
