Objective:By analyzing clinical data, discuss the clinical efficacy of balloon dilatation for the treatment of tuberculous scarred airway stenosis and factors affecting efficacy. Methods:Selected 13 cases airway stenosis caused by tracheobronchial tuberculosis.Airway stenosis was confirmed and measured by bronchoscopy and CT before balloon dilation. Balloon dilatation with forming expansion was conducted once a week. We evaluated the shortness of breath scores, measuring FEV1, FVC and the diameter of airway before and after dilation. The long-term outcome and lung function improvement were evaluated. Results:Thirteen cases were treated by balloon dilation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The airway diameter before and after the treatment, shortness of breath score, FEV1, FVC have improved significantly, the difference was significant(t=15.596, t=-27.657, t=-14.604, t=-41.766;P<0.05). Conclusion:Balloon dilation treatment for tuberculous scarred airway stenosis can achieve better results.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of bronchial balloon positioning combined with autologous blood bronchial occlusion in the treatment of intractable pneumothorax.Methods 36 cases of hospitalized patients with refractory spontaneous were collected as the research object,based on the bronchial balloon positioned upstream bronchoscopy combined with autologous blood bronchial occlusion therapy.The efficacy and adverse reac-tions were followed up for one year.Results In the 36 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with refractory, 30 patients were successfully positioning balloon (83.33%),6 cases of patients who were not successfully positio-ning,were continued with conservative treatment of indwelling thoracic drainage.In 30 patients underwent successful positioning,autologous blood bronchial occlusion were used,and a total of 24 cases (80.0%)patients successfully reduced bubbles escape;6 patients relapsed,who were continued to retainthoracic drainage conservative treatment. Conclusion Bronchial balloon positioning combined with autologous blood bronchial occlusion in the treatment of intractable pneumothorax has accurate positioning and high blocking success rate,and also is safe and effective.It is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the role of Heme oxygenase-1 in the effect of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBOP) against the brain edema formation after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.Methods The study was carried out by animal experiment in two steps by using 54 Spradgue-Dawley rats weighting from 300-350 g.In the first step,rats were treated with HBOP (HBOP group,n =3) or with sham pre-conditioning (Sham pre-conditioning group,n =3).All the rats were sacrificed 24 h after the preconditioning,and basal ganglion of brain tissue was taken for detect HO-1 level by using western blot analysis.In the second step,rats were divided into 4 groups (n =12 in each group):HBOP +ZnPP group,in which rats had a micro-pump intra-peritoneally implanted containing a specific HO-1 inhibitor ZnPPⅨ (Zinc protoporphyrin IX,0.01 mg/kg),Sham pre-conditioning + Znpp group,HBOP + DMSO group,in which rats with a intra-peritoneal micro-pump containing 2 mL Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO,a solvent vehicle) and Sham pre-conditioning + DMSO group before HBOP.At 24 hours after the pre-conditioning,rats received an infusion of 100 μL autologous blood into the caudate nucleus to form a simulated intracerebrum hemorrhage (ICH),and were sacrificed 72 h later for brain water content measurements.All data were analyzed by using Stata 7.0 software and statistical analyses were carried out by two-tailed Student t test.Results Compared with the Sham pre-conditioning group,the HBOP group had significant higher level of HO-1.Compared with the Sham pre-conditioning + DMSO group,the HBOP + DMSO group had a significant lower level of water content in the ipsilateral basal ganglion [(81.4 ± 0.9) % vs.(82.6 ± 0.8) % (P < 0.05)],however,peritoneal infusion of ZnPP Ⅸ before HBOP abolished HBOP-induced protection against brain edema formation after experimental ICH [(82.8 ± 0.9) % vs.(82.6 ± 0.7) % (P > 0.05)].Conclusions Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning attenuate brain edema formation after experimental ICH in rats,and this protection is attributed to the activation of HO-1.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of combined detection of the serum levels of CA125,CA72-4 and tumor specific growth factor(TSGF)in the diagnosis of ovary cancer and the curative effect.Methods Serum levels of CA125,CA72-4 and TSGF in 68 patients with ovary cancer,53 patients with benign ovary rumor and 50 normal controls were measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay(CLIA)and chemical colorimetry.Results and clinical data were statisticaly analyzed.Results The levels of CA125,CA72-4 and TSGF in ovary cancer group were higher than that in the benign ovarian tumor group and healthy controls(all P <0.01).When use three tumor markers united detection,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 91.2%,83.0% and 87.4% respectively.The sensitivity and accuracy was higher than any single detection.The specificity with single CA125 testing was consistently.The levels of CA125,CA72-4 and TSGF in patients with ovary cancer were significantly different after surgical treatment for five days(all P <0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of the three markers may increase the positive rate in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer,and help to differentiate the benign and malignant ovarian tumor,but also is valuable to observe the curative rate and postoperative monitor of the ovary cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of deoxypodophyllotoxin on cell proliferation and mi?gration of human lung cancer NCI-H358 cells in vitro. Methods CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry assay, wound healing assay and DCFH-DA assay were used to detect the effects of deoxypodophyllotoxin on the proliferation, cells cycle, apoptosis, mi?gration and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The protein expressions of Cyclin B1, Cdc25c, CDK1, Caspase-3, p53, Bcl-2, MMP9, ERK1/2, p38MAPK and JNK were measured by Western blot assay, respectively. Results Deoxypodophyllotoxin inhibited cell proliferation and reduced migration in human lung cancer NCI-H358 cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that treatment with deoxypodophyllotoxin resulted in cell cycle G2/M and S phase arrest, cell apoptosis and ROS production. The result of Western blot assay showed that protein expressions of Cyclin B1, Cdc25c, CDK1, Bcl-2 and MMP9 were down-regulated while Caspase-3 and p53 were up-regulated. Moreover, Deoxypodophyllotoxin treatment decreased the phosphory?lated levels of ERK1/2, p38MAPK and JNK obviously. Conclusion Deoxypodophyllotoxin could suppress the proliferation and migration of human lung cancer NCI-H358 cells in vitro, which is a potential anti-tumor drug.
