ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Glutamine (Gln) on the expression of PCNA in intestinal tissue of neo-natal rats with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and to explore the protective mechanism of Gln in intestinal mucosa.Methods Forty-eight neonatal rats at the age of 48 hours were selected, and divided into 4 groups, control group, Gln group, NEC group, NECGln group. Each group had 12 rats. Control group were fed mice milk substitutes; Gln group were fed mice milk substitutes mixed with Gln; NEC group were fed mice milk substitutes and had cold/ hypoxia exposure twice a day for 3 days; NECGln group were exposed to cold stress, hypoxia and treated with Gln mixed in the milk. The expression of PCNA was detected using immunohistochemical method.Results Compared with control group were and Gln group, the general condition was worse, and the weight was decreased in NEC and NECGln group. The inifltrated inlfammatory cells, congestion, edema, intrinsic layer separation were observed in intestinal mucosa in NEC and NECGln group. The intestinal villus was lost in severe in NEC and NECGln group. The PCNA index was 34.17±5.78, 34.42±5.38, 15.00±1.94, 30.67±3.14 in control, Gln, NEC and NECGln group respectively, with signiifcant difference between each groups (H=24.32,P=0.000). The expression of PCNA in NEC group was lower than that in normal, Gln, and NECGln group (P<0.008). The expression of PCNA had no signiifcant difference among normal, Gln, and NECGln group (P>0.008).Conclusions The expression of PCNA in intestinal mucosa was decreased in NEC rats. Gln supplement could raise the expression of PCNA in intestinal mucosa of NEC rats, and accelerate the speed of intestinal mucosa repair.

Objective:To examine metastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery after chemotherapy and to determine the factors affecting survival. Methods:Clinical data on metastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent surgery after chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The overall survival data were evaluated through the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test, and Cox haz-ards regression. Results:The median age was 46 (22~74), and the median overall survival rate (OS) was 19 months (4~59 months). Response to chemotherapy (23.0 m for PR and 14.5 m for SD, P=0.045) and resection of the primary tumor (23.0 and 5.5 m, respective-ly, P=0.017) affected OS. No single factor was related to OS according to Cox regression. Conclusion:Surgical removal of the primary tumor is recommended for metastatic gastric cancer patients with positive response to chemotherapy and with a primary tumor that can be resected.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Buyang huanwu decoction on the contents of CD40 and CD40L in the serum of rats with cerebral ischemia. METHODS:Rats were randomized into a sham-operation(normal saline)group,a model(normal saline)group,a positive control [6.75 mg/(kg·d)clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate] group and Buyang huanwu decoction high-dose and low-dose [26 and 6.5 g/(kg·d)] groups,with 20 rats in each group. Suture occlusion of middle cerebral artery was used to establish the rat models of focal cerebral ischemia,which were given drugs ig on the 2nd day after the operation and for 14 consecutive days. Then pathological changes in the cerebral tissues of all groups of rats were observed and the contents of CD40 and CD40L in the serum thereof were detected by euzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS:The rats in the model group demonstrated isch-emia-like pathological change in the cerebral tissue on the side of lesion. The ischemia-like cerebral tissue on the side of lesion in the positive control group and Buyang huanwu decoction high-dose group were improved compared to the model group. The patho-logical change in the cerebral tissue on the side of lesion in Buyang huanwu decoction low-dose group was similar to that in the model group. The contents of CD40 and CD40L in the serum of rats in the model group were higher than in the sham-operation group. The content of CD40L in the serum of rats in positive control group and Buyang huanwu decoction high-dose group were lower than the model group. There were statistical differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Except as described above,no other statistical-ly significant differences (P>0.05) were noted. CONCLUSIONS:Buyang huanwu decoction can improve brain cell morphology and reduce cerebral ischemic tissue injury in model rat with cerebral ischemia by a mechanism which may be related to decreasing the content of CD40L.
