To ascertain whether heat shock gene expression could protect pulmonaryendothelial cell from hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)一indueed injury,the protective effect of HSPgene expression induced by pretreatment of bovine pulmonary endothelial eells(BPAECs)by heat shock (42 ℃, 2h)against lethal dose(lmmol?L(-1),45min) of H2O2一induced cyt-otoxieity was observed in vitro.It was found that BPAECs heat一shocked prior to exposureto H2O2(Immol?L(-1) 45min)showed significant decrease in H2O2一mediated incrementof LDH rdlease and TBARS production and had an obvious alleviation of H2O2一induccddecreased activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase. Further study showed thatcycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor and Actinomycin D,a mRNA transcriptioninhibitor blocked the expression of HSP 70 and HSP 70 mRNA respectively.Both agentsprevented the cytoprotective effect of heat shock pretreatment against H2O2一mediatedBPAECs injury. The results suggested that HSP70 gene selectively translated after heat shockwas invoived in enhancement of eellular antioxidant mechanism and protected BPAECsagainst H2O2一induced injury

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a newly discovered rare endocrinological syndrome characterized by structrual defect of pituitary and multiple deficiencies of a series of hypothalamic hormones, and thus leading to a cluster of clinical symptoms. This review will illustrate the genetic pathogenic factors influence on embryonic development, and briefly introduce the current studies of Whole-Exome Sequencing on PSIS.

Objective To investigate the association between serum betatrophin levels and insulin resistance in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. Methods A total of 31 healthy subjects (control group) and 35 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients(new T2DM group) were recruited. Serum betatrophin was detected with the methods of ELISA, insulin resistance was assessed with homeostasis model(HOMA-IR). Results The levels of betatrophin, free fatty acids, HOMA-IR, fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly higher in group B than those in group A (P<0.05). Conclusion Insulin resis-tance leads to elevated serum levels of betatrophin in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Purpose/Significance To study the extraction method of adverse drug event(ADE)data from medical texts,and to pro-vide support for clinical drug risk management and scientific decision-making.Method/Process Based on pre-trained model,by com-bining the correlation between the two subtasks of entity recognition and relation extraction,a entity relation joint extraction method for ADE monitoring is designed.Result/Conclusion Experiments on the published ADE extraction dataset show that the proposed method is superior to existing methods and can effectively extract ADE information and its relation from medical texts,providing a powerful means for the discovery and monitoring of ADE.

Objective: To analyze the recent postoperative and long-term postoperative complications of open-splenectomy and disconnection in patients with portal hypertension. Methods: There were 1 118 cases with portal hypertension who underwent open splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection from April 2010 to September 2015 at Department of Surgery, People′s Liberation Army 302 Hospital. Retrospective case investigation and telephone follow-up were conducted in October 2016. All patients had history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding before operation. Short-term complications after surgery were recorded including secondary laparotomy of postoperative abdominal hemostasis, severe infection, intake disorders, liver insufficiency, postoperative portal vein thrombosis and perioperative mortality. Long-term data including postoperative upper gastrointestinal rebleeding, postoperative survival rate and incidence of postoperative malignancy were recorded, too. GraphPad Prism 5 software for data survival analysis and charting. Results: Postoperative short-term complications in 1 118 patients included secondary laparotomy of postoperative abdominal hemostasis(1.8%, 21/1 118), severe infection(2.9%, 32/1 118), intake disorders(1.0%, 11/1 118), liver dysfunction (1.6%, 18/1 118), postoperative portal vein thrombosis(47.1%, 526/1 118)and perioperative mortality(0.5%, 5/1 118). After phone call following-up, 942 patients′ long-term data were completed including 1, 3, 5 years postoperative upper gastrointestinal rebleeding rate(4.4%, 12.1%, 17.2%), 1, 3, 5-year postoperative survival rate(97.0%, 93.5%, 90.3%); the incidence of postoperative malignant tumors in 1, 3 and 5 years were 1.7%, 4.4% and 6.2%. Conclusions Reasonable choosing of surgical indications and timing, proper performing the surgery process, effective conducting perioperative management of portal hypertension are directly related to the patient′s short-term prognosis after portal hypertension. Surgical intervention can reduce the rates of patients with upper gastrointestinal rebleeding, improve survival, and do not increase the incidence of malignant tumors.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave (Li-ESW) in model rats with chronic prostatitis and its optimal parameters.Methods:From April to August 2019, 90 healthy male SD rats aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into control group (group C, n=15), model group (group M, n=15) and shock wave treatment group (group T, n=60), which were treated with Li-ESW after being modeled successfully. The rats in group T were supine and treated with focused Li-ESW, and the probe was placed above the anatomical position of the prostate. Treatment scheme was 3 Hz of frequency, 500 pulses, and once a week for 4 weeks. Group T was divided into group T1(0.09 mJ/mm 2), T2(0.20 mJ/mm 2), T3(0.30 mJ/mm 2) and T4(0.40 mJ/mm 2) according to energy flux density, with 15 rats in each group. Before the establishment of the model, the rats in each group were tested with von Frey fiber of 2 g, 4 g and 6 g at the scrotum respectively, and the positive reaction was recorded. There was no significant difference between the three groups ( P>0.05). After one week, the rat model with CP was established by injecting 3% carrageenan into the bilateral lobes of the prostate under anesthesia. And one week after the modeling was completed, the rats in each group underwent von Frey test again to measure pain and evaluate the modeling effects. Group T was then treated once a week for a 4-week period. During the treatment, von Frey test was performed before each treatment to evaluate the treatment effect of the previous week. After the von Frey test for one, two and four weeks of treatment, 5 rats were sacrificed in each group, and the bilateral lobes of the prostate were dissected under aseptic conditions for paraffin inclusion and HE staining. Result:The positive reaction in group M and each group T was significantly more than those in group C ( P<0.001) one week after the modeling was completed, and there was no significant difference between group M and group T. The number of positive reactions in group T2 was lower than that in group M at each time point after treatment ( P<0.05), and it is also less in group T1, T3 and T4 were than that in group M after 3 weeks, 3 and 4 weeks and 2 weeks respectively( P<0.05). In group T2, the number of positive reactions began to decrease after 1 week of treatment, and reached the lowest after 4 weeks, with significant difference in pain measurement results at different time points ( P<0.05). The results of pathological examination showed that there were more inflammatory cells in prostatic stroma and disordered arrangement of epithelial cells in group M than that in group C. The pathological scores of group M, T1, T2, T3 and T4 were 8, 7, 4, 6, 9 after 1 week treatment, 8, 5, 3, 4, 7 points after 2 weeks treatment, and 7, 3, 2, 4, 7 points after 4 weeks treatment, respectively. Conclusions:Low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave treatment had a significant effect on the improvement of symptoms in model rats with chronic prostatitis. Under the scheme of frequency 3 Hz, 500 pulses, once a week for 4 weeks, the optimal parameters is 0.20 mJ/mm 2.
