Cascade in cerebral ischemic injury may cause cholinergic dysfunction,inflammation and oxidative stress. It plays an important role in the pathological processes of vascular dementia. A large amount of basic research has confirmed that cholinesterase inhibitor and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor inhibitor may improve cognitive function in patients with vascular dementia. However, the efficacy of these drugs has been confirmed in only a part of the patients, and their safety and efficiency have not achieved the expected results. Thus, it needs further study and exploration.

Childhood tuberculosis remains a serious public health threat which draws more and more attention.The unspecific symptoms or signs and the paucibacillary nature of childhood tuberculosis make it hard to diagnose which delays appropriate treatment and increases disease burden and mortality.Molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR),real-time PCR,and DNA line probe based on mycobacterium tuberculosis specific nucleotide sequence will make a quick and reliable diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of herbal decoction Sishen Jian on acute osteoarthritis of knee joint.Methods The 60 osteoarthritis cases in the attack stage were randomized into treatment group(30 cases)and control group(30 cases).The treatment group was given the decoction Sishen Jian and Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Capsules and the control group was given the capsules only.Two weeks made one course of treatment.Before and after treatment,the symptoms such as pain and morning stiff- ness,the signs including joint swelling and tenderness,and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C reactive protein were ob- served for comparison.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group was 96.66% and 53.26% respec- tively.The difference of two groups was significant(P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of continuous incision analgesia with 0.2％ levobupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in parturients undergoing cesarean section.Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ parturients who were at full term,aged 20-30 yr,weighing 60-80 kg,undergoing elective cesarean section,were enrolled in the study.The parturients received 0.2％ levobupivacaine 2 ml/h via a continuous incision analgesia device at the end of surgery.Pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS).Additional tramadol 50 mg was given when VAS score was above 3 and the consumption was recorded.The effective analgesia within 48 h after surgery (no addition of tramadol,VAS score ≤3) was recorded.The serum prolactin level was measured at 30 min before cesarean section and 24 and 48 h after cesarean section.The colostrum time was recorded.The toxic reaction and side effects were recorded.Results The effective analgesia rate was 80 ％.The consumption of tramadol was (95 ± 15) mg.The colostrum time was (24 ± 6) h.No toxic reaction was found.The serum prolactin level was significantly higher at 24 and 48 h after surgery than that at 30 min before surgery (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Continuous incision analgesia with 0.2％ levobupivacaine provides better efficacy,earlier colostrum time and fewer side effects for postoperative analgesia in parturients undergoing cesarean section.

Atrial fibrillation is an important cause of ischemic stroke.Studies have shown that the acute ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation may have more severe neurological deficits and higher mortality compared with those without atrial fibrillation.In addition,atrial fibrillation is also an independent risk factor for the failure of recanalization after iotravenous thrombolysis,and it is associated with poor outcome.Mechanical thrombectomy treatment provides a new therapeutic regimen for acute ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation.This article reviews the intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic patients with atrial fibrillation.

Objective To execute quality control of OLYMPUS-PK7300 automated blood grouping analyzer to enhance the quality and efficiency in blood grouping.Methods Measures were proposed from the aspects of specimen quality,reagent quality,instrument maintenance,test parameters setup,internal quality control and external quality assessment,personnel and etc.Results Quality control was carried out at each link of the test by automated blood grouping analyzer to facilitate blood-related clinical operation.Conclusion Whole-course quality control of the analyzer has to be performed to improve blood grouping.

The development of membrane separation technology in antibioti cs extraction was presented. The application of high performance capillary electr ophoresis, aqueous two-phase system and reverse micelles extraction were also b riefly introduced. Besides, the foreground of these modern separation technolog ies was discussed.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Shengjiang Powder(SP)on acute lung injury.Methods Forty healthy SD male rats were divided into 3 groups randomly: normal group,model group,and SP group.After administration for 6 days,acute lung injury rat models were established by injecting lipopolysaccharide(LPS)into sublingual vein.Lung histological sections were prepared for the detection of NF-?B expression by immmunohistochemistry.The images of the lung histological sections were captured and the average gray values of nucleus of endothelial cells in lung micrangium were measured.Results Compared with the model group,SP could depress the expression of NF-?B in the nucleus of lung microvascular endothelial cells,and statistical difference existed between the two groups(P

Objective To explore the effect of triperygium wilfordii polyglucoside(TWP) on the podocytes of rats with diabetes nephropathy(DN). Methods One hundred SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (Group A),DN group (Group B),TWP group(Group C).TWP group was divided into 3 subgroups(Ca,Cb,Cc)according to the different doses 4,8,16mg·kg-1·d-1,respectively.Rats in DN group and TWp group were given streptozocin(STZ)by intraperitoneal injection to establish animal model of diabetes.After 12 weeks,24 h urinary protein excretion rate(UAER),BUN,Scr,white blood cell(WBC),blood glucose(Glu),and kidney weight (KW)/body weight(BW)were determined.The renal pathological changes were evaluated by HE staining.The structural change of podocytes was observed by transmission electron microscope.The expressions of nephrin and podocin were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining. Results (1)Compared to group A,Scr,BUN,Glu,KW/BW,and UAER were significantly higher(P＜0.05)in group B and group C.Whereas the elevated liver enzymes and the decreased WBC were presented in group Cc (3/20). Compared to group A, the protein expressions of nephrin and podocin in nephridial tissue were lower, and the significant differences of pathomorphology in glomerulus,tubules and podocytes were observed in group B and group C. (2) Compared to group B, KW/BW and UAER were lower in group C (P＜0.01); the protein expressions of nephrin and podocin were higher in nephridial tissue; the pathomorphological improvements were exhibited in glomerulus,tubules and podocytes in group C, paralleled with the increase of TWP dose (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusions TWP may exert the protective effect on podocytes in diabetic nephropathy rats,dependent on the dose of TWP. The mechanism may be associated with the up-regulatied expressions of nephrin and podocin.

As an important gene regulatory molecule, microRNA is closely related with various human diseases. Numerous studies have confirmed that microRNAs function as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in various tumor types. Therefore, microRNA investiga-tion has become a new direction in oncology research. As a member of the miR-17 to-92 cluster, miR-17-5p has been the focus of re-search recently. MicroRNA is involved in many aspects of diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, endometriosis, and a variety of tumors. In this review, the basic characteristics and roles of miR-17-5p in tumors are elaborated.
