Objective To determine the optimal cut-off value of critical-care pain observation tool (CPOT) in assessing degree of pain in patients undergone craniotomy, and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of CPOT with this cut-off value. Methods A prospective observational study was conducted in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. A total of 118 patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) after craniotomy was consecutively enrolled during August 2014 to August 2015. CPOT and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to assess the pain before, during and 20 minutes after the removal of central venous catheters, and the difference was compared between two scores at three time points. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off values for evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of CPOT. Patients' complaint of pain was considered the gold-standard. Results CPOT values (inter-quartile range) before, during and after the procedure were 0 (0-3), 0 (0-6) and 0 (0-2), respectively; while VAS values were 4 (1, 6), 3 (1, 6) and 4 (1, 6), respectively. CPOT value during the procedure was significantly higher than CPOT values before and after the procedure (both P < 0.01). When the optimal cut-off value of CPOT was 1, CPOT showed the highest Youden index before, during and after the procedure (1.183, 1.515, and 1.438, respectively), and showed high specificity (all 100%) and low sensitivity (18.3% and 43.8%, respectively) when assessing the pain before and after the removal of the catheter. The sensitivity and the specificity were high when assessing the pain during the procedure, the sensitivity was 69.4%, and the specificity was 82.1%. When the optimal cut-off value of VAS was 2 before and during the procedure, and was 4 after the procedure, VAS showed the highest Youden index, 1.568, 1.452, and 1.509, respectively. VAS demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity before, during and after the procedure (sensitivity was 97.2%, 95.2% and 75.0%, respectively; specificity was 59.6%, 50.0% and 75.9%, respectively). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of CPOT before, during and after the procedure were 0.592 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.490-0.693], 0.778 (95%CI= 0.693-0.863) and 0.719 (95%CI = 0.627-0.811), respectively; the AUC of VAS before, during and after the procedure were 0.846 (95%CI = 0.771-0.920), 0.767 (95%CI = 0.681-0.854) and 0.838 (95%CI = 0.767-0.909), respectively. The AUC of VAS before and after the procedure was significantly higher than the AUC of CPOT (P < 0.001 and P = 0.006), while there was no significant difference between the AUC of VAS and CPOT during the procedure (P = 0.826). Conclusion CPOT can be used to assess the pain during painful procedure, and it shows high accuracy, but with poor evaluation effect on pain in rest.

Objective To study the effects of cinobufacin(cino) combined with fluorouracil(5-FU) on inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cells in vitro. Methods The experiment was divided into control group,cinobufacin group,5-FU group and cino+5-FU group. Cell morphological variation,cell inhibitory rate, cell cycle and ratio of apoptotic cell of human gastric carcinoma cell line BGC-823 were studied by cell culture, inverse microscopy, fluoroscopy, MTT assay and flow cytometry on different concentrations of cino and 5-FU. Results Cino could markably inhibit proliferation of human gastric carcinoma cells in time-and dose-dependent response. The cino+5-FU group inhibited the rate of proliferation of BGC-823 cells was significantly more than either cino or 5-FU alone group(P

OBJECTIVE:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of the contents of Ligustrazine in rat's plasma,brain and liver.METHODS:Ligustrazine was separated on Hypersil ODS-C18 column with aspirin as internal standard.The mobile phase consisted of methanol-1.5% glacial acetic acid solution(45∶55,V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1.The UV detection wavelength was 279 nm.RESULTS:The linear range of ligustrazine in rat's plasma,brain and liver was 0.006 25～7.813 ?g?mL-1,The lowest detectable limits were 0.5 ng?mL-1,1.55 ng?mL-1,and 1.55 ng?mL-1 and the average recoveries were 97.26%,96.44%,and 95.43% respectively with RSD at 3.40%,4.19% and 4.94%,respectively.CONCLUSION:With good linearity,precision and recovery,the method is sensitive and simple,and suitable for pharmacokinetic study and the research of Ligustrazine preparation.

Aim To investigate the role of chemokine-like factor 1 ( CKLF1 ) in SH-SY5 Y cell migration and its molecular regulatory mechanism. Methods SH-SY5Y cells were stimulated with CKLF1 for 0. 5 h, 2 h, 8 h and 24 h, respectively. The migration distance and the percentage of migration cells were recorded by CELLocate analysis. The phosphorylation of focal ad-hesion kinase ( FAK) at Tyr-397 site was detected by Western blot analysis. By chemotaxis assays, we con-firmed the chemotaxis of CKLF1. Furthermore, FAK inhibitor PF-573228 and PLCγ inhibitor U73122 were used for the research of molecular regulatory mecha-nisms involved. Results CKLF1 promoted cell migra-tion and induced a strong increase in the phosphoryla-tion level of FAK-pY397 , which were significantly at-tenuated by the presence of U73122 ( a specific inhibi-tor for PLCγ) . In addition, the chemotaxis of CKLF1 was obviously blocked by the FAK inhibitor PF-573228 . Conclusion CKLF1 induces SH-SY5 Y cell migration via PLCγ/FAK signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the establishment methods of animal models of adult growth hormone deficiency, and to provide a good model for experimental research and treatment for abnormal bone metabolism caused by growth hor-mone deficiency.Methods The methods of establishment of animal models of adult growth hormone deficiency were re-viewed and evaluated refering to literature.Results There were three methods including spontaneous lack-of, pituitecto-mized and gene knockout can establish animal models of adult growth hormone deficiency.Conclusions Hypophysecto-mized animal models are inexpensive and easy to create, but not suitable for studying the relationship between growth hor-mone and bone metabolism.Spontaneous lack-of and gene knockout models are specific growth hormone deficiency and of great research significance in exploring the relationship between growth hormone and bone metabolism.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological factors that affect the prognosis of gastric cancer patients after radical resection,and study the relationship between biological behavior of gastric cancer and clinical so as to provide clues to the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical and pathological data of the gastric cancer patients who underwent radical resection from January 1999 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 581 eligible patients were followed up in 179 cases.A database was established for SPSS 13.0 software analysis.Results Single factor analysis showed that the prognosis influencing factors in gastric cancer patients after radical resection were age,tumor location,tumor size,gross type,histological type,depth of invasion,TNM stage,surgical procedure,the cancerous remains of specimen surgical margin and the number of lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01),no correlation was found between gender and prognosis (P ＞ 0.05).Multiple Cox regression analysis showed that TNM stage and number of lymph node metastasis were independent gastric cancer prognostic influencing factors,and the number of lymph node metastasis was found to be the more significant factor.Conclusions TNM stage and the number of lymph node metastasis are independent prognostic influencing factors in gastric cancer,and the number of lymph node metastasis is the more important factor in gastric cancer prognosis.Therefore,Union for International Cancer Control lymph node staging of gastric cancer is a better indicator for gastric cancer prognosis.
