This study is to investigate the protective effect of mangiferin on NF-kappaB (P65) and IkappaBalpha expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) in rats with cigarette smoke induced chronic bronchitis. The rat model with chronic bronchitis was established by cigarette smoke. Real-time fluorescence RT-PCR was executed for evaluating the NF-kappaB (P65) and IKkappaBalpha gene expression in mononuclear cell, and flow cytometry for their protein expression. The serum hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive proteins) and TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor-alpha) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The histopathological score was obtained from lung tissue HE staining slides of lung tissue. The results showed that mangiferin could markedly suppress the NF-kappaB (P65) mRNA and protein expression in mononuclear cell, while promote the IkappaBalpha mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, mangiferin could lower serum hs-CRP and TNF-alpha level, and reduce the chronic inflammatory damage of bronchiole. These results suggested that mangiferin could notably ameliorate chronic bronchiole inflammation induced by cigarette smoke, and this protective effect might be linked to the regulation of NF-kappaB (P65) and IkappaBalpha expression in mononuclear cell.

Objective To analyze the assessment results and summary the work experience of malaria elimination in Baise City. Methods According to The malaria elimination evaluation schemes of Guangxi(2014 edition),the examination and evaluation of malaria elimination were carried out and all the results were analyzed in 12 counties(county?level city or district) of Baise City from 2014 to 2015. Results Since 2009,there were no local malaria cases and imported secondary cases in Baise City for the 6 consecutive years,and the detailed data were collected and the self?assessment reports of malaria elimination were written in all the counties. There was no omission or delay of malaria case reports in the 12 counties. The highest score of the ex?amination and evaluation was 96.58 points,the lowest was 90.76 points,and the average was 93.77 points. The biggest impact on the evaluation scores was“on?site examination”. Conclusion All the 12 counties(county?level city or district)of Baise City have passed the municipal examination and evaluation of malaria elimination,and the key of next work is malaria monitoring, timely finding and treating the imported malaria patients,and to guarantee no imported secondary cases.

Objective To analyze the results of treatment of complicated tibial plateau fractures with open reduction and internal fixation with bilateral plates .Methods 29 elder patients with C type tibial platform fractures underwent internal fixation with bilat-eral plates and bone grafting .Fixation with bilateral plates was performed during operation with dynamic compression plate or 1/3 Tubular steel plate placed medially and the dissection plate or LISS system ones inserted laterally after the underlying separation . Meanwhile ,sufficient bone grafting during operation could effectively support reduction of articular surface .Results All patients were followed up of an average of 13 .8 ± 2 .43 months .According to Rasmussen score standard ,the excellent and good rate was 82 .7% .There was significant difference of TPA and PA between postoperation and postoperation one year later .Conclusion It is a simple and effective method to treat complicated elder tibial platform fractures with bilateral plates .It will improve the effect and re-duce complications significantly to perform sufficient bone grafting intraoperatively ,and make the drainage unobstructed and do the early functional exercises postoperatively .

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is an important cellular transcription factor. The important role of NF-κB-mediated cell signal transduction pathway in apoptosis is a hot topic at home and abroad. In order to discover new regulators in NF-κB signaling pathway, a high-throughput cell-based screening model based on dual luciferase reporters system was established, a number of genes that can activate NF-κB signal pathway were obtained by screening of 439 novel function genes. Among them, TMEM9B can obviously activate NF-κB signaling pathway. Further experiments showed that TMEM9B activated NF-κB signaling pathway in a dose-dependent pattern. Western blotting and EMSA experiments confirmed that TMEM9B can promote the degradation of IκBα (a cytoplasm inhibitor of NF-κB), and cause NF-κB shift from the cytoplasm to nucleus. At the same time, flow cytometry result demonstrated TMEM9B can induce apoptosis in HEK293T and HeLa cells. In short, a stable and effective screening system for NF-κB has been established, through which TMEM9B was identified to be able to significantly activate NF-κB signal transduction pathway and thus cause cells apoptosis.
