BACKGROUND: Studies have confirmed that nerve growth factor can promote wound tissue to release al kinds of endogenous growth factors and growth factor receptors, which play a positive regulatory role. The nerve growth factor can promote cel proliferation and accelerate wound healing, thus making the wound healing developed from the passive waiting healing to active control healing. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of local application of nerve growth factor on the expressions of transforming growth factor β1 and basic fibroblast growth factor in rat burn wounds. METHODS: Twenty-four adult Sprague Dawley rats were used in the study, and Ⅱ degree deep burn wound was made on the back of rats. Then, these rats were randomly divided into four groups. After burn wound debridement, the wounds were covered with gauzes containing 1, 2.5 and 5 μg/mL nerve growth factor solution and normal saline respectively. At 3, 5, 9 and 14 days after treatment, the wound healing time and percentage of residual wound were observed. Then, wound tissues were cut for histological examination, in order to detect the expressions of transforming growth factor β1 and basic fibroblast growth factor in wounds, as wel as the cel ular DNA cycle. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The wound healing time in the treatment groups was shorter than that in the control group, especial y in 5 ug/mL nerve growth factor treatment group (P < 0.01), and the percentage of residual wound in the treatment groups was less than that in the control group. The histological examination showed the number of nucleated cells in the superficial dermis of the treatment groups was significant increased when compared with that in the control group; the expressions of transforming growth factor β1 and basic fibroblast growth factor in the treatment groups at different time points were stronger than those in the control group, and the expressions at 5 and 9 days were stronger than those at 3 and 14 days; percentage of cells in S phase of the treatment groups was significantly increased, especial y in 5 mg/L nerve growth factor group (P < 0.01). The results indicate that local application of nerve growth factor can accelerate wound healing by increasing the expressions of transforming growth factor β1 and basic fibroblast growth factor, stimulating mitosis and promoting proliferation.

AIM: To find a more efficient and accurate method for medical image enhancement to resolve the problem of low local contrast, which often appears in magnetic resonance (MR) images.METHODS: Based on the investigation into the previous methods, a new algorithm was presented. The main features were as follows: Non-dual was used in the morphological operations and addition instead of multiplication was used in the contrast stretching operations. To avoid some gray-level bias, the method of normalized gray-level under condition was proposed.RESULTS: The new algorithm was tested by real MR images and simulated experiments. Compared with the previous method, the new method is more accurate, faster and less sensitive to noise.CONCLUSION: Non-dual morphological operations can achieve local contrast enhancement in a more accurate way, and the gray level bias can be eliminated by normalization.

Sal-like 4 (SALL4) plays an important role in promoting the cellular proliferation and maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells and tumor cells.In fully differentiated cells,the expression of SALL4 is silenced or down-regulated.However,the expression of SALL4 is found to be restored or up-regulated in a variety of non-germ cell tumors.Besides,the expression of SALL4 is often associated with disease progression,treatment effect and prognosis.Therefore,examining the expression level of SALL4 will be of great importance in the diagnosis of disease and monitoring the disease progression for non-germ cell tumors.

Objective To compare the eficacy and safety of flexible laryngeal mask (FLMA) and endotracheal tube (ETT) in children undergoing adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy. Methods Forty children with snoring disease scheduled for selective adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy surgery under intravenous compound inhalation general an-esthesia were divided randomly into either FLMA group or ETT group. MAP,HR and SpO2 were recorded before an-esthesia induction(T0 ), 1 (T1 ),3 (T2 ),5 (T3 ) min after intubation,1(T4 ),3 (T5 ) min after extubation. Param-eters for respiratory mechanics included peak airway pressure (Ppeak ), mean airway pressure (Pmean ), end tidal CO2 (PetCO2 ),and airway sealing pressure. All of the above indicators were recorded 5 min (T6 ) after intubation, 10 (T7 ),20 (T8 ) min after put in mouth gag,5 (T9 ) min after removing mouth gag. Meanwhile,chievement ratio of first time insertion,incidence of regurgitation aspiration,bucking,laryngospasm,wheezing when extubation and af-ter extubation,anesthesia time,surgery time,extubation time were recorded. Complications such as nausea and vomi-ting,pharyngeal pain,hoarseness were followed up 24 hours after surgery. Results MAP, HR during T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 ,T5 were significantly higher in group T than T0 , and those in group FLMA (P<0.05). MAP, HR were not sig-nificantly changed in group FLMA during each time. Ppeak , Pmean was significantly lower in group FLMA than that in group ETT. The extubation time was shorter and the incidence of coughing and pharyngalgia after operation was low-er in group FLMA than that in group ETT. Conclusion Compared with endotracheal intubation, on the basis of not affecting surgical operation, FLMA is an effective, safe anesthesia for adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy surgery in children, with the advantages of hemodynamic stability, mild airway trauma,and is a easy handling method, with minor laryngeal stimulation during intubation and extubation, more stable hemodynamics, reliable respiratory me-chanics and low incidence of postoperative upper airway complications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of two health education models on the psychology and nutrition of patients waiting for cadaveric renal transplantation.Methods A total of 125 patients waiting for cadaveric renal transplantations were involved in our study.They were diagnosed with chronic renal failure in our hospital during September 1, 2009 to August 30, 2010.The patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 62) and observational group(n = 63).Patients in the control group received traditional health education with routine preoperative education during hospitalization.In the observational group, full-time nurses assessed the nutrition status of each patient and monitored the data. The observational patients were followed up and were given dietary guidance and knowledge of transplantation.Various kinds of education formats were adopted in observational group to provide communication opportunities between patients and surgeons in charge as well as patients who underwent transplantation.Psychological testings of patients in both groups were tested by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) before and after the health education.Triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and biochemistry index were also tested.Psychological and nutritional status of patients in the two groups was compared.ResultsThere were no significant differences in scores of the SAS, SDS, TSF, Hb, and albumin (Alb) between the two groups (all P＞0.05) before health education.After health education, SAS and SDS in observational group were lower than those in the control group (40.02 ±9.05 vs 47.05 ± 10.32,42.70 ± 10.01 vs 50.83 ± 10.12; both P＜0.01).Both TSF and Hb were elevated after education (P ＜ 0.001 or 0.05).Alb was significantly elevated in the observational group [(35.67 ±6.19)g/L vs (37.48 ±5.09)g/L, P ＜0.01].ConclusionComprehensive and various health education methods can significantly alleviate mental stress and improve nutrition of the patients waiting for kidney transplantation, which is helpful for patients facing disease positively and having a better quality of

Objective To prepare dual-targeted microbubbles carrying both anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody and anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody,to identify its basic characteristics,and to investigate its targeting performance in vitro.Methods ICAM-1-targeted microbubbles (MgIcAM-1),CD34-targeted microbubbles(MBcD34) and dual-targeted (with both monoclonal antibodies) microbubbles (MBD) were prepared by biotin-avidin bridging chemistry method.The targeted microbubbles were observed under light microscrope and characterized by a Mastersizer 3000,DFY software,laser confocal microscopy,and flow cytometry.The targeting specificity and attachment capability of dual-targeted microbubbles to endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and damaged human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were assessed in vitro.Results The morphous,diameter,surface potential,concentration,and the antibody-binding rates of microbubbles were not statistically significant in MBIcAM-1,MBCD34,and MBD (P ＞0.05).Echo intensity in MBD significantly increased compared with MBICAM1,MBCD34,and MBiotin (P ＜ 0.01).The targeting experiment in vitro showed that the attachment rate of MBD to EPCs and damaged HUVECs significantly increased compared with MBiotin (P ＜0.01),while no remarkable difference in attachment rate was found between MBD and MBcD34 in EPCs,and between MBD and MBIcAM-1 in damaged HUVECs (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Dual-targeted microbubbles carrying both anti-CD34 monoclonal antibody and anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody are prepared successfully.The study in vitro has proved that the dual-targeted microbubbles can specifically bind to both EPCs and damaged HUVECs.

Objective To investigate whether correlation exists between quantitative perfusion parameters obtained from dynamic contrast?enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE?MRI) and different prognostic factors or immunohistochemical subtypes of breast cancers. Methods A retrospective analysis of DCE?MRI was performed in 87 breast cancer patients with 91 pathology confirmed breast lesions. All the patients underwent the immunohistochemistry after the operation, 80 breast cancer patients with 84 breast lesions were divided into different subtypes based on the immunohistochemical profiles. All the patients underwent plain MRI and DCE?MRI. The volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (kep) and volume of EES per unit volume of tissue (Ve) value were calculated. Results of the immunohistochemistry and observation results of the the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor?2 (HER?2) were recorded. Subtypes were also categorized. The degree of the expression of Ki?67 was observed simultaneously. Among the 87 breast cancer patients (with 91 breast lesions), 68 were ER?positive,18 were ER?negative, 60 were PR?positive, 26 were PR?negative;30 were HER?2 positive and 58 were HER?2 negative. Eighty breast cancer patients (with 84 breast lesions) were divided into different subtypes:19 were Luminal A, 49 were Luminal B, 7 were HER?2 positive subtype and 9 were triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The quantitative perfusion parameters with diffierent expression of the receptors were analyzed through Mann?Whitney U test, the correlation between the degree of the expression of Ki?67 and quantitative perfusion parameters was obtained with Spearman test. Furthermore, the distributions of the perfusion parameters between groups according to immunohistochemical subtype were compared using the Kruskal?Wallis test. Results Ktrans and kep value were higher in tumors with ER?negative and PR?negative than with ER?positive and PR?positive and difference was statistically different ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significance in the quantitative perfusion parameters between HER?2 positive and HER?2 negative (P>0.05). The degree of the expression of Ki?67 was 5%to 90%the mean value was 33%, the median and interquartile range of Ktrans, kep and Ve value was 1.33/min (0.88/min), 2.63/min (2.34/min) and 0.51 (0.22) respectively. There was no significant correlations between the degree of the expression of Ki?67 and Ktrans and kep value (r value was 0.24 and 0.22 respectively, P value was 0.03 and 0.04 respectively), and the degree of the expression of Ki?67 was not associated with Ve (r=0.00, P=0.97). Ktrans value was lower in Luminal A and Luminal B than that in HER?2 positive subtype and TNBC, kep value was lower in Luminal A and Luminal B than that in TNBC, and Ve value in Luminal A, Luminal B and HER?2 positive subtype were higher than that in TNBC, kep value was lower in Luminal B than that in HER?2 positive subtype, statistically significance was seen among them (P<0.05).Triple?negative breast cancer showed the highest kep value (3.99/min) and the lowest Ve value (0.41) than the other subtypes. Conclusion The different subtypes of breast cancer may be predicted to some extent with quantitative perfusion parameters, and there is no correlation between quantitative perfusion parameters and the prognostic factors.

Objective To observe the effects of metformin on expression of Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK),nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells (MCs),and explore its renoprotective mechanisms.Methods MCs were cultured in the medium with normal glucose (group NG,5.6 mmol/L),high glucose (group HG,25mmol/L) and different concentrations of metformin (group M1,M2,M3).After 48 h exposure,the supernatants and MCs were collected.The expression of NF-κB and TGF-β1 mRNA was analyzed by real time-PCR.Total-AMPK,phospho-Thr-172 AMPK (p-AMPK),NF -κB p65 and TGF-β1 were visualized by Western blot.Results The real time-PCR and Western blot result showed MCs could express AMPK,NF-κB and TGF-β1 mRNA and protein.After stimulated by HG,the levels of intracellular NF-κB and TGF-β1 expressions were significantly increased compared with group NG (P ＜ 0.05); The levels of NF-κB and TGF-β1 were significantly decreased in group M1,M2 and group M3 compared with group HG in a dose-dependent manner.After stimulated by HG,the level of intracellular p-AMPK were down-regulated compared with group NG(all P ＜ 0.05); The expression of p-AMPK increased with the rising of metformin concentration,presenting the opposite trend (P ＜ 0.05),while the level of total-AMPK protein was unchanged with exposure to HG or different concentrations of mefformin(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Metformin can suppress the expression of NF-κB and TGF-β1 of glomerular MCs induced by HG via AMPK activation,which may partly contribute to its reno-protection.
