Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2006;0(S1):-
Objective To investigate The effect of TAM(2.5 uM)in the chemotherapy of HCC and its mechanism. Methods An adriamycin-resistant human HCC cell subline(Hep-3B/ADM)was established,through exposure to gradually increased concentration of ADM.Drug sensitivity was measured by MTT.Modulation of ADM-induced apop- tosis of Hep-3B/ADM cells was assessed by Flow cytometry(FCM).PKC activity was determined by applying compet- itive protein binding method.Results TAM(2.5uM )decreased the IC50 of ADM from 1.64?g/mL to 0.23?g/mL in the Hep-3B/ADM cells.TAM exhibited a 2-fold potentiation on apoptosis caused by ADM in Hep-3B/ADM cells.With TAM,PKC activity was lower than that in control groups from 30 seconds to 24 hours.But this effect of TAM could be reversed by the co-treatment of the cells with TPA.Conclusion TAM(2.5 uM)significantly en- hanced ADM-induced cytotoxicity.The mechanism is that TAM potentiates the apoptosis induced by ADM through pro- tein kinase C inhibition.

Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2016;37(2):70-75
Objective To evaluate the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in pediatric patients with respiratory failure after liver transplantation.Method A prospective? randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted during June 1st 2013 to June lst2015 in 71 pediatric patients with respiratory failure after liver transplantation.A total of 66 patients completed the trial and 5 patients quitted.Conventional oxygen therapy group included 35 cases and nCPAP group included 31 cases.The vital sign,blood-gas analysis,intra-abdominal pressure and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Result After nCPAP treatment,the heart rate,respiratory rate,and PCO2 decreased at 4 and 24 h (P<0.05),oxygenation index was improved at 24 and 48 h (P<0.05),and intra-abdominal pressure decreased at 48 h (P<0.05).nCPAP showed better outcome than conventional oxygen therapy (P<0.05).The incidence of refractory atelectasis,intra-abdominal hypertension,and epilepsy was higher in treatment failure population.Conclusion nCPAP is more suitable for pediatric patients with respiratory failure after liver transplantation,especially for those accompanied with intra-abdominal hypertension.

0.05).Thyroid follicular volume of VPA group slightly reduced;thyroid follicular volume of OXC group increased while epithelial cells thinning;thyroid structure of LEV group had no alterations;thyroid follicular volume of OXC plus LEV group and VPA plus LEV group had no consistent alterations.Conclusions Long-term application of VPA and OXC may arouse alterations of thyroid structure and hormone secretion.LEV has no effection on thyroid function,with VPA and OXC combined usage can reduce their effection on thyroid gland.Thyroid hormone level should be monitored when using anti-epileptic drugs(ADES) long-term in clinical work.

Objective To observe the surface morphology of dentin irradiated by Er,Cr∶YSGG laser under anhydrous conditions and discuss the possible clinical applications of the laser.Methods 11 freshly extracted specimens (approximately 1.5 mm thick) taken from the first premolars were selected.One was regarded as the control group without any treatment and the remaining ten were divided into 5 groups whose dentin surface was irradiated by Er,Cr∶ YSGG laser with different energy (1,2,3,4,6 W) under anhydrous condition.The specimens were routinely prepared for electron microscopic scanning observation.Results As the output power increased with Er,Cr∶YSGG laser irradiation,the dentin surface was observed of the constriction of tubular lumen,and part of the tubules closed.The dentin surfaces with 3 ~6 W laser irradiation were observed thermal injury alters such as micro crack and carbonization.Conclusion 1 ~2 W anhydrous Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation play a more ideal and safe constriction and sealing role to dentinal tubules,and the laser is expected to be used for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.

31 patients from Anhui province maternal and child health care with cesarean scar pregnancy ( CSP ) treated with UAE ( before or after uterine curettage) were analyzed retrospectively. 12 subjects with a definite diag-nosis of CSP were offered preventive UAE. 1 case of an emergency rupture of the CSP patient was offered emergen-cy interventional therapy. The other eight patients,who were misdiagnosed as having an intrauterine pregnancy,with the symptoms of active vaginal bleeding were treated with emergency UAE after uterine curettage. The results showed all the 31 patients with CSP were resolved successfully without hysterectomy and had a significant decrease on the data ofβ-HCG. 24 patients received preventive UAE combined with methotrexate followed by uterine curet-tage. 3 patients received a excision of the scar in the uterus after UAE. 4 patients had a UAE combined with conser-vative medication. Results showed that UAE might be an effective means of treating CSP, including treatment in an emergency setting. It decreases the incidence rate of hysterectomy.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of huang lian jie du tang active fraction(HLJDTAF) on ischemia injury in cerebral cortical neuronal cultures. Methods The cortical neurons of rat fetal were cultured in vitro. The protective effects of HLJDTAF on ischemia injury were observed by treating cells with sodium dithionite in glucose free medium. Results HLJDTAF 610 mg?kg -1 increased the activity of neuron, 305 mg?kg -1 reduced the leakage rate of LDH; HLJDTAF 610, 305, 153 mg?kg -1 reduced the content of NO,MDA and increased the activity of SOD. Conclusion HLJDTAF protected the cerebral cortical neurons from ischemia injury by reducing the contents of NO and suppressing the generation of lipidperoxide.

Objective To measure neuro-biochemical changes in brain of first episode major depression (MD) patients. Methods Single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic (1H-MRS) examination of bilateralis frontal lobe and hippocampus was conducted in 21 first episode major depression patients and 21 age-, sex-and education-matched healthy controls. After this, major depression patients took selectivity serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for three months. Then, we examined the changes in NAA, Cho, Cr, Glx and mI in bilaterlis frontal lobe and hippocampus of patients. Finally, we compared the metabolism of the subjects with that of the controls. Results ① Bilateralis frontal lobe NAA/Cr, right frontal lobe Glx/Cr and left hippocampus NAA/Cr and Glx/Cr were significantly lower in MD patients than in the controls, but right frontal lobe and right hippocampus mI/Cr significantly were higher than those in controls. ② After treatment left frontal lobe and left hippocampus NAA/Cr significantly increased compared with pretherapy. Right frontal lobe mI/Cr significantly decreased. Conclusion Nerve cell activity disorder, abnormal second messenger and glutamicacid and glutamine may be involved in the pathogenesis of MD. Antidepressant can regulate abnormal metabolism and improve nerve cell activity.
