Objective To investigate protective effects of schisandra lignans on doxorubicin-induced liver injury in rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control, model control, vitamin C and schisandra lignans at small, middle, and high doses. The liver injury model was established by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin. Normal controls were intragastrically administrated with 0. 9%sodium chloride solution,while other groups were administrated with different medications,respectively. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in serum,nitric oxide (NO) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in liver tissue homogenate were measured. Histopathological changes in hepatic tissues were also observed. Results Serum IL-10 and tissue NO were obviously lower in the model control group than those in other groups,while those in all schisandra lignans treated groups were significantly improved (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). The AST level in schisandra lignans middle- and high dose groups was (372. 58±105. 80) and (327. 92±42. 80) U·g-1 ,respectively,significantly lower than (565. 07±22. 13) U·g-1 in the model control group (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). Histopathological analysis showed that degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes were remarkably alleviated in all schisandra lignans treated groups. Conclusion Schisandra lignans protect rats against doxorubicin-induced liver injury.

After more than3 years of pilot (since 2010), standardized training of resident physicians in Shanghai has made great progress, however, it still needs to be improved. Cerebral and spinal vascular diseases are main types of neurological diseases and they seriously influence people's life and health. Interventional neuroradiology plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral and spinal vascular diseases. However, in the current residency training system in Shanghai or other provinces of China, the training of interventional neuroradiology is not included. In this paper, the authors analyzed the important role of interventional neuroradiology in diagnosis and treatment of cerebral and spinal vascular disorders and discussed the feasibility, method, and time arrangement of including interventional neuroradiology curriculum into the schedule of neurology standardizedresidency training and hoped to provide reference for the relevant departments to formulate a future policy.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effect and its mechanisms of Sinomenium acutum polysaccharide on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury. METHODS:60 mice were randomly divided into blank control group (normal saline),model group (normal saline),bifendate group (positive control,150 mg/kg) and S. acutum polysaccharide low-dose,medium-dose, high-dose groups(100,200,400 mg/kg),10 in each group,intragastrically administrated,once a day,for continual 7 d. 1 h af-ter last administration,mice received 50% ethanol (0.1 mL/10 g) intragastrically to induce acute alcoholic liver injury model ex-cept for those in blank control group. After 12 h,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)levels in se-rum,malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione(GSH),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)levels in liv-er tissue of mice were determined;hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to observe the pathological changes in liver tissue;flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,mice in model group showed pathological changes in edema,disordered cell arrangement and local necrosis;ALT and AST levels in serum,MDA level in liver tissue and hepatocyte apoptotic rate were significantly increased,while the SOD,GSH and GSH-Px levels in liver tissue were significantly decreased,with statistical significances (P<0.01). Compared with model group,cell degeneration and necrosis degree of mice were improved in S. acutum polysaccharide medium-dose and high-dose groups;except for cell apoptosis rate of liver in S. acutum polysaccharide low-dose group was not decreased significantly,the above-mentioned indicators in other treatment groups were significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:S. acutum polysaccharide shows obvious protective effect on mice with acute alcoholic liver injury,its mechanism might re-late to anti-oxidation stress and inhibiting hepatocyte apoptosis.

Background Fundus photography is a traditional method for detecting local retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects,but the evaluation of its result depends on the observer's experience.The spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) exhibit the defects of RNFL very clearly.Objective This study was to evaluate the diagnosis value and correlation between topographic profiles of localized RNFL defects determined by spectral domain and time domain OCT with fundus photography.Methods Forty-one normal eyes of 41 subjects and 55 eyes of 55 glaucomatous patients with localized,wedge-shaped RNFL defects identified by two glaucoma specialists in fundus photographs were enrolled in the clinical study.The angular location and width of RNFL defects determined on the images of fundus photography,Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT were analyzed respectively using Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis.This study followed the Helsinki declaration and was approved by Ethic Committee of Shenzhen Eye Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each individual before the clinical examination.Results Seventy-five RNFL defects were identified in 55 eyes by two glaucoma specialists unanimously with the defect position at superior-temporal and inferior-temporal quadrants.The sensitivity of Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT to determining RNFL defects were 88.0% and 69.3% respectively and their specificities were 92.7% and 97.6% respectively.The angular locations of RNFL defects by Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT were highly correlated with those by fundus photography(r=0.993,r=0.992,P＜0.001);while the angular widths of RNFL defects by Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT were moderately correlated with those by fundus photography(r=0.420,r=0.432,P=0.019,P=0.002).No significant differences were found in the defect width of RNFL between Cirrus HD-OCT or Stratus OCT and fundus photography(Cirrus HD-OCT:P=0.114;Stratus OCT:P=0.074),and significant difference was found in that between Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT(P=0.002).Conclusion Spectral domain OCT and time domain OCT can localize RNFL defects with high sensitivity and specificity.The measure value of Cirrus HD-OCT and Stratus OCT for RNFL defects shows a good diagnostic agreement with fundus photography.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ulinastatin on perioperative inflammatory response during cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Comprehensive search of PubMed,EMbase,the Cochrane Library,CECDB,CQVIP,CNKI databases was conducted for randomized controlled trials(RCTs) published from January 1994 to June 2014.The included studies were evaluated strictly and the extracted data were analyzed by RevMan 5.2. Results A total of 7 RCTs including 335 patients were included,and 154 patients were in the experimental group,while 181 patients were in the control group.In the experimental group, patients were given Ulinastatin during surgery. System evaluation results show that, the concentration of TNF-α [ SMD (95%CI) were -3.48(-4.64,-2.31)] and IL-6 [SMD(95%CI) were -3.04(-4.54,-1.54)] in experimental group at 1 h after weaning from CPB were significantly lower than those in control group. Conclusion Ulinastatin used perioperatively in cardiopulmonary bypass can significantly reduce postoperative inflammation.

Objective To investigate microRNA-217 expression and its significance in colorectal cancer.Methods MiR-217 expression was detected in 30 cases of colorectal cancer tissues and corresponding adjacent normal colorectal tissues by qRT-PCR.The clinicopathologic correlations of miR-217 expression were performed using Fisher's exact test.Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the overall survival of patients.Results MiR-217 was significantly lower in colorectal cancer tissues than in normal colorectal tissues (P ＜ 0.01).Moreover,the decreased miR-217 level was significantly associated with tumor size and TNM stage,as well as lymph node and distant metastasis.Meanwhile,patients of colorectal cancer with low levels of miR-217 expression had a significantly shorter median survival (x2 =4.584,P ＜ 0.05) than those with high levels of miR-217 expression.Conclusions Downregulated miR-217 in colorectal cancer tissues correlates to poor prognosis in postoperative colorectal cancer patients.
