Objective To study the effects of XiaoAiping (XAP) with different concentrations and action time on the proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells Hepa1-6. Methods The hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hepal-6 was treated with XAP at doses of 30 mg/ml(the high concentration group), 20 mg/ml (the moderate concentration group) and 10 mg/ml (the low concentration group) for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, respectively. The MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory effects of XAP on cell growth. The cell morphological alteration was observed after HE staining, and the apoptosis rates were assayed by flow cytometry. Results XAP produced an obvious time-and-dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the Hepa1-6 cells (P<0.01), and the cell differentiation trend was benign on light microscopy. After 48 h Hepa1-6 cells were incubated by XAP, there was an apoptosis peak, and the apoptosis rate was increased statistically in XAP group with the increasing XAP concentration [(7.65±0.40)%, (11.26±1.09)% and (26.71±0.85)% in low, moderate and high concentration group, respectively]compared with that in the controls (2.88 ±0.30)%, P < 0.01). Conclusion XAP produced obvious time-and-dose-dependent inhibitory effects on Hepa1-6 cells. Inhibiting DNA synthesize and inducing apoptosis of tumor cells may involve in the mechanisms of antineoplastic effect.

Objective To investigate the level of illness uncertainty and coping styles of parents of children with diabetes mellitus and their relationship, and provide theoretical basis of clinical intervention. Methods Totally 155 patients of children with diabetes mellitus were investigated with General Information Questionnaire, Parents′ Perception of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS) and Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP) to analyze the correlation between illness uncertainty of parents and its influencing factors and coping styles. Results The total score of illness uncertainty was 80.15±10.38 in parents of children with diabetes mellitus. There was significant difference in total uncertainty score in parents with different number of children, parent′s age, education degree, profession, economic conditions and locations (P < 0.05). Coping style, education and Parent′s age entered into the multiple linear regression equation of illness uncertainty, predicting 23.2% of total variation in illness uncertainty. The level of illness uncertainty was negatively associated with coping styles (P < 0.01). Conclusions The illness uncertainty was at higher levels in parents of children with diabetes mellitus. Clinical nurses should measure illness uncertainty of parents of children with diabetes mellitus and improve their coping capacity to reduce illness uncertainty, so as to provide better services of family and promote the quality of life for children .

Objective:To explore changes of peripheral blood levels of C reactive protein (CRP)and matrix metallo-proteinase-9 (MMP-9)in patients with coronary heart diseases (CHD)and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),and analyze their relationship with patients'prognosis.Methods:A total of 278 CHD patients undergoing PCI in our hospital from Jul 2009 to Apr 2011 were regarded as PCI group;another 234 CHD patients not receiving PCI were enrolled as CHD control group.According to results of coronary angiography,PCI group was further di-vided into single-vessel (n=143),double-vessel (n=92)and triple-vessel disease group (n=43).Changes of CRP and MMP-9 levels were compared between two groups in different time,and the relationship among these two in-flammatory factors and coronary disease,its prognosis was analyzed.Results:Compared with on admission,there were significant rise in levels of CRP [(2.43±0.62)mg/L vs.(2.87±0.73)mg/L,(2.98±0.87)mg/L]and MMP-9 [(12.63±2.68)ng/ml vs.(14.62±3.49)ng/ml,(19.62±4.63)ng/ml]in PCI group on 24h and 48h after PCI,P <0.05~<0.01;there were no significant difference in CRP and MMP-9 levels between on admission and 14d after PCI,P >0.05;The more severe coronary lesion was,the higher CRP and MMP-9 levels were,CRP and MMP-9 levels of triple-vessel group [(2.51 ±0.64)mg/L,(14.67±2.97)ng/ml]were significantly higher than those of single-vessel group [(1.83±0.51)mg/L,(9.68±1.42)ng/ml]and double-vessel group [(2.17±0.59) mg/L,(11.62±2.19)ng/ml],P <0.05~<0.01;incidence rates of cardiovascular events in patients with CRP≥3 mg/L and MMP-9≥15 ng/ml (33.3%,29.1%)were significantly higher than those of patients with CRP <3 mg/L and MMP-9<15 ng/ml (16.1%,18.2%)respectively,P <0.05 both.Conclusion:Serum levels of CRP and MMP-9 significantly rise in CHD patients on 48h after PCI,and their increasing level is related with extent of coronary ar-tery lesion and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of olanzapine in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV),and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Re-trieved from Medline,PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,Clinical Trials.gov,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang Database,ran-domized controlled trials (RCT) about olanzapine (test group) versus other drugs or conventional antiemetic regimen (control group)in the prevention and treatment of CINV were collected,Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software after data extraction and quality evaluation by modified Jadad. RESULTS:Totally 19 RCTs were included,involving 1 794 patients. Re-sults of Meta-analysis showed,olanzapine can significantly improve the complete control rate of patients with acute CINV [RR=1.12,95%CI(1.06,1.18),P<0.001],delayed CINV[RR=1.26,95%CI(1.14,1.39),P<0.001],overall CINV [RR=1.62,95%CI (1.32,1.99),P<0.001] and breakthrough CINV[RR=2.05,95%CI(1.47,2.86),P<0.001],there were significant differences be-tween 2 groups;there were no significant differences in the incidence of tiredness,dizziness,lethargy and constipation(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Olanzapine is safe and effective in the prevention and treatment of CINV and can be recommended in treating breakthrough and refractory CINV. Besides,olanzapine in the prevention and treatment of CINV belongs to“off-label use”,so the clinicians should have a comprehensive consideration of chemotherapy and patients’consent.

Objective To evaluate the association between maternal serum levels of vitamin B12 and folate and neural tube defects (NTD) in Shanxi Province which with the extremely high prevalence of NTD in China. Methods A case-control study was conducted in five counties of Shanxi Province, China. Maternal concentrations of vitamin B12 and folate [expressed as G (P5-P95)]in NTD-affected pregnancies were dichotomized at a cut-off of 10th percentile of the mean values of control women to calculate the risk of NTD for the lower level group. Results The mean levels of serum vitamin B12 and folate in the NTD pregnancies were significantly lower than in the control [vitamin B12 83. 8 pmol/L(30. 5-209. 1) pmol/L vs 102. 6 pmol/L(51. 9-269. 7) pmol/L, P<0. 05; folate:10. 5 pmol/L(4. 4-24. 5) nmol/L vs 12. 9 pmol/L(6. 3-32. 7) nmol/L, P<0. 01]. In cases complicated with spina bifida, lower maternal serum vitamin B12 and folate levels were detected compared with the control group. While, in those complicated with anencephaly, only lower levels of maternal folate were shown. There was no statistical significance in maternal serum concentrations of vitamin B12 and folate between those cases with encephalocele and controls. Higher risk of NTDs were found in pregnant women with lower level of vitamin B12 and folate (AOR = 2. 58, 95% CI: 1. 20-5. 51; AOR= 2. 76, 95%CI: 1. 30-5. 87). Conclusions Deficiency or insufficiency of folate or vitamin B12 is associated with the increased risk of NTD, especially in high risk population.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate function and application of various biomaterials in tissue engineering repair skull defect, and to seek a reasonable skull substitutes. METHODS: Using "tissue engineering, skull defect, stem cells, cytokines, composite" as key words in Chinese, and using "tissue engineering, skull defect, mesenchymal stem cells, cytokines, materials" as key words in English, a computer-based online search was performed for publications from January 1993 to October 2009. Articles concerning biomaterials and tissue engineering skull defect repair were included. Articles describing repetitive study or Mete analysis were excluded. Function of various biomaterials in tissue engineering repair skull defect was assess in 17 articles. RESULTS: Stem cell technique is to obtain seed cells from a few myeloid tissues. Following in vitro induction and amplification, cells at a certain number could compound with stents, and construct tissue-engineered bone in vitro. The cells could sustain the biological features of osteoblasts, and fuse with bone tissue in the recipient site. Simultaneously, it could avoid the occurrence of immunological rejection. Two or over materials were compounded together, or biomaterial surface received various modification. These could promote adhesion between cells and materials, elevate cell bioactivity and maintain biological function. Following moved into seed cells using some vectors, the latter ossified in bone defect site, and secreted suitable bone growth factor, induced the differentiation of peripheral non-oriented osteogenitor cells into oriented osteogenitor cells, which could harvest adequate seed cells with osteogenic activity in a short time, and accelerate the healing of skull defects. The composite made by using three-dimensional virtual imaging and computer numerical control modeling techniques has the advantages of medical composite, precise anatomical consistency with surrounding tissues of skull defects, and perfect appearance. CONCLUSION: At present, no material can be accorded with the requirement of bone tissue engineering. Combination of some materials or modification of biomaterial surface can promote adhesion of cells and materials, elevate cell biological activity, and maintain biological function, which are presently hot focus of tissue engineering research of biomaterials.
