Objective To reveal the change tendency of serum osteopontin(OPN) in carcinogenesis and development of gastric cancer(GC), and explore the usefulness of serum OPN in the diagnosis of GC and the differential diagnosis of early GC and advanced GC.Method Serum OPN levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, including 70 advanced GC, 24 early GC, 47 dysplasia, 42 intestinal metaplasia, 46 chronic superficial gastritis patients and 38 normal controls.Results Serum OPN level in GC group (57.03 ng/ml) was significantly higher than those in other groups.Serum OPN level in advanced GC group (66.05 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that in early GC group (41.93 ng/ml), serum OPN level in early GC group was significantly higher than those in dysplasia, intestinal metaplasia and chronic superficial gastritis, and serum OPN level in the latter three groups was significantly lower than that in normal controls (P

Objective To evaluate the effects of acute peritonitis on rocuronium?induced neuromus?cular blockade in abdominal muscles and function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of rats. Methods Thirty?six pathogen?free male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 220-250 g, were divided into 2 groups using a ran?dom number table: control group (group C, n=12) and acute peritonitis group (group P, n=24). After the rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, acute peritonitis was induced by artificial gastric per?foration in group P. At 1 and 2 h after operation, the changes in the intra?abdominal pressure (IAP) with different volumes were detected, and blood samples were collected from the orbital veins for determination of serum levels of interleukin?6, tumor necrosis factor?alpha and interleukin?13. Rocuronium 3. 5 mg∕kg was then injected via the caudal vein. The IAP was recorded at 1, 5 and 10 min after administration. The intra?cellular free Ca2+ concentration was assessed using fura?2, and the maximal Ca2+ uptake and release rate in the sarcoplasmic reticulum were calculated. Results Compared with group C, the serum levels of interleu?kin?6 and tumor necrosis factor?alpha at 2 h after operation and IAP at 1 and 2 h after operation were signifi?cantly increased, the IAP was increased at 1, 5 and 10 min after administration of rocuronium, and the maximal Ca2+ uptake rate and amount of calcium uptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum were decreased in group P ( P<0.01) . Conclusion Acute peritonitis decreases rocuronium?induced neuromuscular blockade in abdominal muscles, which may be related to the impaired Ca2+uptake function of the sarcoplasmic reticu?lum of rats.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of tobramycin and dexamethasone in Tobra-mycin and dexamethasone eye drop. METHODS:HPLC-column derivatization-double wavelength method was performed on the col-umn of Agilent C18 with mobile phase of 0.25% 3-hydroxymethyl aminomethane-acetonitrile-0.5 mol/L sulfuric acid(40:59:1,V/V/V)at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 365 nm and 220 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃,and the volume in-jection was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 18.01-180.09 μg/ml for tobramycin(r=0.999 5)and 6.02-60.24 μg/ml for dexa-methasone(r=0.999 8);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 1%;recoveries were 98.65%-100.01%(RSD=0.47%,n=9)and 98.92%-100.20%(RSD=0.50%,n=9),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,time-sav-ing,specific,reproducible,accurate and reliable,and can be used for the quality control of Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drop.

AIM:To investigate the effects of peroxiredoxin 4 ( Prdx4) protein expression levels on the migra-tion and invasion of human cervical cancer HeLa cells.METHODS:The plasmid pcDNA3.0-HA-Prdx4 was transfected into HeLa cells.The HeLa cells were infected with LV-Prdx4 RNAi vector to establish stable Prdx4 shRNA HeLa cells. The change in the expression of Prdx4 protein was validated by Western blotting.The wound-healing assay, and Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to detect the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, respectively.RESULTS:The expression of Prdx4 protein was up-regulated in the HeLa cells after transfection with pcDNA3.0-HA-Prdx4 plasmid ( P<0.05), whereas it was down-regulated in the Prdx4 shRNA HeLa cells (P<0.05).The abilities of migration and inva-sion were significantly increased in Prdx4-overexpressing HeLa cells compared with non-transfected and mock plasmid trans-fected control groups ( P<0.01) .When Prdx4 was knocked down by shRNA, the migration and invasion of the HeLa cells were remarkably repressed compared with blank control group and negative control group ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION:The up-regulation of Prdx4 expression facilitates the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, and the down-regulation of Prdx4 expression inhibits the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, indicating that Prdx4 may be a potential molecular target for cervical cancer therapy.

Objective To observe the effects of early exercise on the expression of synaptophysin pro-tein and Nissl bodies in the hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage( HIBD) , and to investigate possi-ble mechanisms. Methods A total of 35 neonatal Wistar rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into a train-ing group of 13, a control group of 11 and a sham-operation group of 11. HIBD was induced in the rats of the training and control groups, while those in the sham-operation group had the left common carotid artery separa-ted, but without ligation. Seven days after successful modeling, the training group began swimming training for 10 min every day lasting for 14 days, while the other groups were not trained. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of synaptophysin in the affected hippocampus of the brain based on the ratio of the gray band val-ues for synaptophysin and beta. Nissl staining was applied to observe the number of Nissl bodies and the morphol-ogy of the neurons in the hippocampus. Results The average expression of synaptophysin in the sinistrocere-bral hippocampus of the rats in the control group was significantly lower than that in the sham-operation group, but significantly higher than that of the training group. The control group had significantly fewer Nissl bodies than the sham-operation group, but significantly more than the training group. Conclusion Early training can in-crease the expression of synaptophysin and the number of Nissl body in the hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.

AIM　To improve the treatment efficacy of anti-tumor drug mitoxantrone, the conjugation of mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres and anti-C-erbB-2 monoclonal antibodies were prepared. METHODS Mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres were prepared with emulsion-heating solidification technique. A heterobifunctional reagent, N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP), was used as the crosslinker of mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres and anti-C-erbB-2 monoclonal antibodies; pharmaceutical properties of immunonanocapsuls were studied; the conjugates of nanospheres and monoclonal antibodies was confirmed with immunological methods such as slide agglutination test, fluorescent immunossay and rosset formation test, fluorescent staining and scanning electron microscope. RESULTS　Mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres were spherical, with smooth surface and median diameter of 0.665 micron. When stored at 3-5, 20-25 and 37℃, RH 75% for three months, the appearance, morphology, size distribution, drug loading and in vitro release characteristics showed no significant change and the stability was satisfactory. The size analysis demonstrated that there was no obvious increase in the particle size of nanoparticles after conjugation. Immunological tests indicate highly selective binding of antibody-targeted nanospheres to C-erbB-2-overexpressing cells SK-BR-3. CONCLUSION　The conjugation of mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres and anti-C-erbB-2 monoclonal antibodies can keep the activity of anti-C-erbB-2 and increase the therapeutic efficacy of anti-mammary cancer drugs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug susceptibility of clinical isolates in local region for using antibiotic reasonably. METHODS Totally 3 170 strains of clinical isolates were identified by API and Microscan and tested for drug resistance against antimicrobial agents by K-B method. WHONET5.4 was applied for analysis. RESULTS The commonly encountered bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (24.3%), Acinetobacter baumannii (10.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.4%), Escherichia coli (8.9%), and Staphylococcus aureus (SA,8.0%). In Gram-negative isolates, the resistance rate to meropenem was 19.7%, and to piperacillin-tazobactam was 26.5%. The incidences of E.coli and K. pneumoniae isolates producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) were 49.1% and 33.5%, respectively. In Gram-positive isolates, the susceptibility rate to vancomycin and teicoplanin both was 100.0%. The oxacillin resistant rates of SA and coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CNS) were 54.2.0% and 82.3%. CONCLUSIONS The production ratio of ESBLs and oxacillin resistance of bacteria in local region are high. It is important to promote the rational use of antimicrobial agents and take effective contaminant methods to reduce resistant rates of bacteria and dissemination of multi-resistant bacteria.

Objective To investigate the effect of chest physiotherapy (CPT) on patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV).Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Sixty-eight adult patients undergoing invasive MV over 48 hours admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College from December 2014 to October 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into CPT group (n = 37) and control group (n = 31) by random number table. The patients in control group received routine physical therapy; while those in the CPT group received comprehensive CPT including manual lung inflation, vibration expectoration and early functional exercise etc. on the basis of the treatment in control group. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) before and after the treatment in both two groups were observed as well as the respiratory function and vital signs before and after CPT. The laboratory indicators after treatment, incidence of complications, duration of MV and the length of ICU stay in the two groups were recorded.Results The incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in the CPT group was significantly lower than that of control group (5.4% vs. 25.8%,P < 0.05), the patients in control group also had atelectasis, deep vein thrombosis and other complications, while no such complications were found in the CPT group. The duration of MV (hours: 77.4±41.0 vs. 133.9±117.2) and the length of ICU stay (hours: 134.4±71.4 vs. 207.4±177.7) in CPT group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (bothP < 0.05). There was no significant difference in APACHE Ⅱ score and PaO2/FiO2 before treatment between the two groups. After treatment for 2 days, the APACHE Ⅱ score in both groups was gradually decreased, and that in CPT group was more significantly, it was significantly lower than that of control group after treatment for 4 days (8.6±3.9 vs. 12.5±5.3,P < 0.05). The PaO2/FiO2 in the two groups was gradually increased after treatment. PaO2/FiO2 in CPT group was significantly increased at 3 days after treatment as compared with that before treatment [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 278.1±79.0 vs. 224.2±98.9], while PaO2/FiO2 in the control group did not appear significantly increased until after 4-day treatment (mmHg: 302.3±93.1 vs. 232.3±116.7, both P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in vital signs andrespiratory function parameters including tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate (RR), peak airway pressure (Ppeak) and mean airway pressure (Pmean) before and after treatment in CPT group excepting pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) was significantly higher than that before treatment (0.985±0.016 vs. 0.978±0.018,P < 0.05), indicating that CPT treatment did not cause fluctuations in respiratory function and vital signs. Blood lactate in CPT group was significantly lower than that of control group (mmol/L: 1.10±0.79 vs. 1.32±1.09, P < 0.05), indicating that CPT treatment, especially early functional exercise, could improve the oxygen supply and limb circulation.Conclusion CPT treatment has some effect on prevention of VAP and other complications in patients undergoing MV, which could shorten the duration of MV and the length of ICU stay, and promote the recovery of patients.
