Objective To investigate the effects of siRNA targeting decoy receptor 3 on the cell proliferation of ovarian carcinoma cell CAOV3. Methods We constructed siRNA targeting decoy receptor 3,which was transfected into ovarian carcinoma cells CAOV3 , and observed the effects of DcR3 siRNA on the cell proliferation of CAOV3 cell by MTT experiment. The experiment contained 3 groups, including the normal control group (CAOV3 cell was not transfected), the negative control group (CAOV3 cell was transfected with blank vector) and the experimental group (CAOV3 cell was transfected with DcR3 siRNA). The expression levels of DcR3 mRNA were detected by Real-time PCR. Results DcR3 siRNA recognized and degraded DcR3 mRNA in CAOV3 cells of the experimental group. DcR3 mRNA of the experimental group was significantly decreased. The proliferation of CAOV3 cell was significantly decreased by DcR3 siRNA comparing with the normal control group and negative control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion DcR3 siRNA can inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer cell line CAOV3 by recognized and degraded DcR3 mRNA.

Adipose-tissue mesenchymal stem cells, is one kind of multipotent stem cells, can differentiate into adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, myogenic cells and so on in vitro and in vivo. Human adipose tissue is plentiful, easily harvested in large quantity with little patient discomfort. Adipose-tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells may be an alternative stem cell source for mesenchymal tissue regeneration and engineering without ethical consideration of embryonic stem cells and severe pain resulted by bone marrow procurement. The research work on adipose-tissue mesenchymal stem cells and future clinical perspectives were reviewed.

Objective To observe the effects of Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints acupuncture and rehabilitation on upper limb spastic hemiplegia after stroke. Methods 105 patients with upper limb spastic hemiplegia after stroke were randomized into 3 groups as groups A, B, C equally, and receiving Baclofen and rehabilitation training, acupuncture at Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints, and both acupuncture at Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints and rehabilitation training for 8 weeks, respectively. They were assessed with China Stroke Scale (CSS) and modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before and after treatment Results The CSS and MAS scores obviously improved after treatment in each group (P<0.01), and improved more in the group C than in the group A and B for CSS (P<0.05). Conclusion Both acupuncture at Dong's Extraordinary Acupoints and rehabilitation can improve the neural function and upper limb muscle tension in patients with upper limb spastic hemiplegia after stroke, with the synergistic effects.

OBJECTIVETo clarity the original plants and the main application varieties of White Flos Gentianae.

METHODHerbal textual research, wild specimen collection, investigation and collection of the samples from Tibetan hospital, Tibetan pharmaceutical factory and medical material market were carried out simultaneously to identify the original plants of White Flos Gentianae.

RESULTThe results of varieties textual research and specimen identification showed that Gentiana szechenyii, G. purdomii and G. algida were in accord with the record of Tibetan herbal textual The three species above were the original plants of White Flos Gentianae. The identification of 20 batches samples showed that G. szechenyii was the main application variety. The other varieties were only used in Tibetan hospitals. All the samples above were flowering branches.

CONCLUSIONIt was necessary to strengthen the research on variety systematization of White Flos Gentianae make a further discussion on the taxonomy position of G. purdomii, G. algida and the white flos population. Its was also nessary to establish and improve the quality standard of different variety based on the principle of "one species, one name". The quality specification of White Flos Gentianae should be established and improved to standard clinical utilization and produce feeding. More study of resources investigation and cultivation of G. szechenyii should be carried on to meet the demand of produce and clinic.

An investigation on the chemical constituents of the 90% EtOH extract of Perovskia atriplicifolia led to the isolation of fifteen compounds from the EtOAc fraction. Based on the detailed spectral analysis (MS, 1D and 2D NMR), as well as comparison with the literatures, the structures of compounds 1-15 were determined as cirsimaritin (1), salvigenin (2), syringaldehyde (3), vinyl caffeate (4), 2α, 3α-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oicacid (5), 2α, 3α-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oicacid (6), niga-ichigoside F1 (2α, 3β, 19α, 23- tetrahydroxyurs - 12-en-28-oicacid- O-β-D- glucopyranoside, 7), sericoside (8), 4-epi-niga-ichigoside F1 (2α, 3β, 19α, 24-tetrahydroxyurs-12-en-28-oicacid O-β-D-glucopyranoside, 9), 2α, 3β, 24-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oicacid O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2) - β-D-glucopyranoside (10), pruvuloside A (11), asteryunnanoside A [2α, 3β, 23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oicacid O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-β- D- glucopyranoside,12], rosmarinic acid methyl ester (13), β-sitosterol (14), and daucosterol (15), respectively. Compounds 1-13 were isolated from the Perovskia genus for the first time. All the compounds were obtained from P. atriplicifolia for the first time.

We implemented tutorial system by relying on young teachers in hospitals and taking undergraduates in Capital Medical University as the main body aiming at cultivating students' clinical and scientific research abilities.Practice has proved that tutor system method is of great value to cultivate students' comprehensive clinical ability,scientific research ability and innovation ability.Meanwhile,this method is effective in improving clinical teaching effect.

ObjectiveTo study the expression changes of peripheral blood monocyte human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) in patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and investigate the correlation between HLA-DR expression and infection and prognosis.MethodsNinety patients with craniocerebral injury were selected as experimental group and were divided according to the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score after hospitalization into experimental group 1 (GCS score 13-15 scores ),experimental group 2 (GCS score 9-12 scores) and experimental group 3 (GCS score 3-8 scores) with 30 patients each,which were moderate,medium,severe craniocerebral injury,respectively.Thirty healthy people were chosen at the same period as control group.The HLA-DR expression of experimental group was detected after 1,3,7 and 14 d of admission by flow cytometry,and the HLA-DR expression of control group was detected on the day they got physical examination.The rates of infection,cure,disability,vegetative state and mortality were counted after 30 d of admission.ResultsThe HLA-DR expressions in experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 after 1,3,7,14 d of admission were (28.11 ± 2.37),(26.45 ± 1.63),(27.75 ± 1.83),(27.15 ± 2.17) MCF and (29.34 ±2.07),(27.55 ± 1.63),(28.42 ± 1.94),(29.46 ±2.12) MCF,which had no statistical difference compared with that in control group [(29.18 ± 1.91 ) MCF](P＞ 0.05).The HLA-DR expressions in experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 after 1,3,7 d of admission and control group had statistical differences compared with those in experimental group 3 after 1,3,7 d of admission [(18.02 ± 1.78),(16.05 ± 1.97 ),(20.76 ± 1.65) MCF ] (P ＜ 0.05).The HLA-DR expressions in experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 after 14 d of admission and control group had no statistical significance compared with that in experimental group 3 after 14 d of admission [ (26.13 ± 2.15) MCF](P＞ 0.05).The infection rates of experimental group 1,experimental group 2 and experimental group 3 were 0,3.6％(1/28),82.8％(24/29),respectively,while the cure rates were 100.0％ (30/30),100.0％ (28/28),10.3％ (3/29),the disability rates were 0,0,41.4％ (12/29),the vegetative state rates were 0,0,20.7％ (6/29),and the mortality were 0,0,27.6％ (8/29).There was no statistical significance in the rates of infection,cure,disability,vegetative state and mortality between experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 (P＞ 0.05 ).While there was statistical differences in the rates of infection,cure,disability,vegetative state and mortality among experimental group 1,experimental group 2 and experimental group 3 (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsThe HLA-DR expression changes of patients with moderate and medium craniocerebral injury after 1,3,7,14 d of admission are not significant.The HLA-DR expression of patients with severe craniocerebral injury begins to decline from 1 d after injury,declines obviously at 3 d,increases from 7 d,returns to normal level at 14 d.The decline of HLA-DR expression in patients with severe craniocerebral injury is correlated with the infection,and predicts poor prognosis.
