Aim To study the protection of tetrandrine(Tet) from the excitotoxicity of quinolinic acid(QA) on the cultured hippocampal neurons of new-borne rats.Method Excitoxocity injury was induced by QA in cultured hippocampal neurons.The cell viability was measured by MTT assay, extracellular LDH contents were also measured and the pathomorphology of neurons was observed. Result Tet with 10 -6 mol?L -1 and 10 -7 mol?L -1 could significantly blunt the death of the primary hippocampal neurons induced by QA,prevent leakage of LDH and improve the pathomorphology of neurons. Conclusion Tet (10 -6 mol?L -1 and 10 -7 mol?L -1)provids protection on QA induced cytotoxicity in cultured hippocampal neurons of new-borne rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of psychological intervention combined with insulin and glimepiride on the the treatment of elderly patients with diabetes. Methods 150 cases of elderly patients with diabetes in our hospital from July 2012 to March 2017 were treated as the research object, the single and double number (hospital admission order) 150 cases of elderly patients with diabetes were randomly divided into study group (n=75) and control group (n=75). The control group of elderly diabetic patients receiving insulin combined with glimepiride treatment in the study group received the basic treatment combined with psychological intervention. Results After treatement, 2 hPG, FBG and HbAlc were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). HAMD score in the study group after treatment decreased significantly than that before treatment(P<0.05). The difference of HAMD score in the control group had no statistically significant. Conclusion Psychological intervention combined with insulin and glimepiride on the treatment of elderly patients with diabetes can improve the depression, has a positive significance to improve the effect of blood glucose.

The paper first sums up the types of clinical nursing ward rounds and points out that at present two types play a dominant role in China, viz. the problem-based nursing ward round and the nursing procedure-oriented nursing ward round. Then it expounds the goal of clinical nursing ward rounds, introduces the forms, participants, and schedules of nursing ward rounds, and analyzes the major problems that currently exist in this aspect. The paper argues that it is imperative for the hospital to reinforce the management of nursing ward rounds and ensure that they are well planned and prepared and highly standardized and focused so as to improve their quality.

Objective To investigate the role and prognostic impact of E-cadherin( E-cad)on in-vasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma by analyzing E-cadherin expression at DNA,RNA and protein levels. Methods RNA and protein expression of E-cad were tested in 60 cases of gastric carcinoma and adjacent tissues by streptavidin peroxidase( SP )immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. DNA methylation of E-cad was tested with methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction( MSP). Results The positive rates of E-cadherin protein and mRNA in gastric carcinoma were significantly lower than those in adjacent tissues. DNA methylation of E-cad negatively correlated with the E-cad protein and RNA expres-sion in gastric carcinoma respectively(r= -0. 355,r = -0. 271). DNA methylation of E-cad negatively correlated with the 5-year survival rate of gastric carcinoma(r = -0. 381,P ﹤0. 01). However,E-cad protein positively correlated with the 5-year survival rate of gastric carcinoma(r=0. 378,P﹤0. 01). Con-clusion The decreased expression of E-cad is one of the most important biological features in gastric car-cinoma. Methylation of E-cad DNA may be an important agent causing low expression of E-cad protein and mRNA and it can be used as an important indicator in predicting invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.

Objective: To study the mechanism of Gengnianle Water-paste Pills in resisting climacteric aging. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, high and low dosage groups of Gengnianle, positive control group. The climacteric rat model were established by ectomizing the bilateral ovaries. The E2, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroid hormone (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were detected. Results: Compared with model group, in high dose of Gengnianle group, the levels of E2, T3, T4 increased and the levels of FSH, LH, TSH reduced. The effect of high dose of Gengnianle in improving the adjustment function of the thalamus-hypophysis-ovary axis and the thalamus- hypophysis-thyroid gland axis is better than that of positive control group (P

On the coronal T 2-weighte d images,the ACL appeared as segmental bundle.The whole ACL could not be visua lized on one image of coronal T 2-weighted images.Conclusion The whole ACL can be showed on one image of ob lique coronal T 2-weighted image,which is helpful in evaluation of the injure o f ACL.

AIM To study the effects of PDB on blood glucose. METHODS 3 groups of health mice and 3 groups of model mice were administered with high, mean and low doses of PDB compatibility groups (combined with glibenclamide 0.66 mg?kg -1) respectively for 15 days. The blood goucose variation of health and model mice was observed. RESULTS A low dose of PDB compatibility group decreased obviously blood glucose in the health mice. Its mean value was(3.10?0.14), while control group's blood glucose was 4.46?0.12, P

20 adult healthy rats were used for microelectropheretic delivery of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The diameter of the tip of the glass electrode was around 20～50?. It was inserted into nucleus raphe magnus, 20% HRP was delivered microelectrophoretically(5 ?A for 30 min; 10 ?A for 10 min). In eight rats the microelectrode was withdrawn immediately after the delivery and in the rest it was removed 10～20 minutes after delivery. Afterward the animals were allowed to survive for 40 hrs before decapitation, except 2 for 20 and 2 for 60 hrs. The brains were dissected out for cryostat sections and DAB reaction for peroxidase.The tip of the electrode was located in the nucleus raphe magnus, at the level of nucleus facialis. The diameter of the brain tissues occupied by HRP at the points of microelectophoretic delivery was 0.2～0.4mm and the maximum reached 0.6～0.7mm. The exogenous HRP granules were not visible in the cases with electrodes withdrawn immeditely after delivery and in the survivors of 60 hrs. In most cases the electrodes were left inside for more than 10 minutes after the delivery. The exogenous HRP granules were large, coarse, brown, steroscopic and distributed evenly in the perikaryon of some neurons in several levels of the brain. Those in the axon and dentrite were distributed just like strings of pearls. There were much more neurons with exogenous HRP positive granules dispersed in the reticular formation of the medula oblongata, most of them were polydendritic. Small and fusiformed HRP-positive cells are observed occasionally in the gray substance of subventriculum, reticular formation pontis and ventrolateral side of locus coeruleus. Weaker reactions were found in a few cells in the periaquaductous gray substance of the midbrain, nucleus raphe centro-superior, substantia nigra pars compacta and in the area around the nucleus supraopticus. Besides no HRP-positive cells were discovered in thalamus and subcortex structure.There were two types of cells with HRP positive granules around some blood vessels in reticular formation and subventricular gray substance: One was a small protoplasmic astrocyte with broad cytoplasma, small nucleus, and thick, short and irregular processes and another kind was polydendritic neurons filling with brown positive granules in perikarya and cytoprocesses, in the latter, the HRP positive granules were arranged as strips of pearls.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival of ethnic minority female patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods The clinicopathological characteristics,including age at diagnosis,size of tumor mass,lymphnode involvement,adjuvant therapy,recurrence of disease and survival of patient,of 48 ethnic minority patient cases with TNBC negative for estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (Her-2) were analyzed,whom were treated in our hospital from January 2001 to December 2005,including age at diagnosis,size of tumor mass,lymph node involvement,adjuvant therapy,recurrence of disease and survival of patients.ResultsOf the 48 patients,median age was 47 years,and 83.3 ％ (39 cases) of patients had stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ disease.The majority(85.4 ％,41 cases)of pathological types were grade Ⅱ or Ⅲ invasive ductal carcinomas,and lymph node involvement was detected in 56.2 ％ (27 cases) of these patients at initial diagnosis.46 patients were followed and had adjuvant therapy.Tumor-free survival and overall survival at 5 years were 43.5 ％ (20/46) and 52.2 ％ (24/46),respectively.Patients with lymph node involved had only 38.5 ％ (10/46) of overall survival at 5 years.ConclusionThe incidence of triple negative breast cancer of female patients in Xinjiang multiple minority groups is similar to domestic study,and the rates of over all survival is lower than that in Han Chinese patients. The female patients with TNBC in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region multiple minority groups showed higher lymph node involvement at initial diagnosis and more distal metastasis.Patients with lymph node involved had poor survival.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy on constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) treated with acupuncture for regulating the mind and strengthening the spleen and the impacts on the quality of life in the patients.

METHODSSixty patients of IBS-C were randomized into two groups. In the acupuncture group (30 cases), acupuncture was applied to Tianshu (ST 25), Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37), Taichong (LR 3), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Yintang (GV 29) and Baihui (GV 20), once a day, 5 treatments a week and 4 weeks treatment as one session. In the western medication group (30 cases), lactulose oral solution was prescribed, 15 mL each time, three times a day, 4 weeks treatment as one session. The symptom grade scale and the quality of life scale (IBS-QOL) were adopted to observe the changes in clinical symptoms and quality of life before treatment, after treatment and 2-month follow-up after treatment in the patients of the two groups separately.

RESULTS(1) Clinical symptom score: the difference in the symptom score at each time point was significant statistically in intra-group comparison (P < 0.01). In 1 week, 4 weeks of treatment and 2 months after treatment, the clinical symptom scores in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medication group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). (2) IBS-QOL score after treatment was improved as compared with that before treatment in the two groups (P < 0.01). The improvement of IBS-QOL at 2 months after treatment in the acupuncture group was apparently superior to the western medication group (P < 0.05). (3) The total effective rate was 90.0% (27/30) in the acupuncture group and was 83.3% (25/30) in the western medication group. The overall efficacy in the acupuncture group was better than that in the western medication group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture for regulating the mind and strengthening the spleen significantly relieves the clinical symptoms of IBS-C and improves QOL of patients. The total efficacy is superior to lactulose oral solution and presents a certain of long-term efficacy.
