Objective To explore the relationship between plasma Tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),Interleukin-6(IL-6) levels and brain edema caused by hypertensive intracerebral henorrhage.Methods 62 patients with hypertensive intrscerebral hemorrhage( the observation group) and 50 healthy persons( the control group) were selected.The expression of plasma TNF-α and IL-6 were determined by ELISA pre-therapy and 1d,3d,7d,14d after treatment in two groups;The volume of cerebral edema was measured by CT.The relationship between plasma TNF-α,IL-6 levels and brain edema caused by hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were analyzed.Results Before treatment,the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the observation group were( 15.62 ±9.49)μg/L and (67.47 ±6.31 )ng/L,which were significandy higher than(8.28 ± 3.36) μg/L and(31.02 ± 3.51 ) ng/L of the control group( t =9.17,64.28,P =0.01 ),and Spearman analysis showed that the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were positively correlated with the volume of cerebral edema(r=0.934,P=0.02;r=0.922,P =0.026).Conclusion There was an up-regulation of TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the plasma of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.TNF-α and IL-6 may promote the formation of cerebral edema during the course of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

AIM:To investigate molecular regulatory mechanism of K-ras to girdin protein in COS7 cells and expression of K-ras and girdin in colorectal carcinoma tissues .METHODS:The lentiviral vector carrying K-ras gene was constructed and transfected in the COS 7 cells.The expression of K-ras, girdin proteins and other related proteins in COS 7 cells and colorectal carcinoma tissues was observed by Western blot .RESULTS:The COS7 cells with K-ras over-expres-sion showed an irregular cell morphology .The results of Western blot indicated that the downstream signal protein levels of p-ERK1/2, p-Stat3 and girdin were significantly increased in the COS 7 cells with K-ras over-expression.Transfection with the K-ras siRNA into the COS7 cells significantly reduced the protein levels of p-ERK1/2, p-Stat3 and girdin.In the color-ectal carcinoma tissues (7 cases), 5 cases had higher expression of K-ras and girdin compared with pericarcinous tissues . CONCLUSION:K-ras regulates girdin expression through the signal pathway of K-ras-ERK1/2-Stat3-girdin.

Objective To explore the difference between pressure-regulated volume controlled ventilation (PRVCV) and volume controlled ventilation (VCV) during videothoracoscopic bhb excision.Methods Consecutive 20 patients scheduled to undergo videothoracoscopic bleb excision were enrolled into the study.After induction, endotracheal blocker was advanced into endotracheal tube to establish one-lung ventilation,each patient was randomly assigned to receive successively PRVCV and VCV for 20 minutes.Ventilatory variables were kept constantly(tide volume 6 ml/kg, respiratory rate 15 breaths/min and I: E ratio 1: 2).Heart rate,blood pressure,peak airway pressure and blood gas parameters were compared.Results Peak airway pressure was significantly lower with PRVCV than that with VCV [(12.7±3.6 ) cmH_2O(1 cm H_2O =0.098 kPa) vs (18.2±4.3) cm H_2O,P < 0.01].However,there was no significant difference in arterial oxygen tension,arterlal partial pressure of carbon dioxide,heart rate and blood pressure between PRVCV and VCV.Conclusion During one-lung ventilation in videothoracoscopic bleb excision, PRVCV offers lower peak inspiratory airway pressures while maintaining equal oxygenation compared with VCV.

Objective To study the effect of endotracheal tube's resistance on the respiratory systolic variation test(RSVT).Methods The RSVT,a test to predict fluid responsiveness was performed in 20 patients.The test consisted of the delivery of three congecutive pressure-controlled breaths with incremental peak inspiratory pressures of 10,20 and 30 cm H2O(1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa).The minimal values of the systolic arterial pressure following each of these three breaths were measured and plotted against their respective airway pressures,producing the RSVT slope.RSVT slope were compared between normal airway resistance and increased resistance circumstances,and the latter was simulated by advancing a Cooperdech bronchial blocker into endotracheal tube.Results Under normal resistance,RSVT slope was(0.39±0.21) volumes were(461.5±95.9),(891.5±149.8)and(1207.5±159.1)ml,when peak inspiratory pressures of 10,20 and 30 cm H2O were dehvered.When bronchial blocker was advanced into endotrecheal tube, (0.27±0.17)mm Hg,cm H2O significantly(P<0.01),and tidal volumes decreased to(434.5±92.8), (796.5±96.6)and(1097.5±68.4)ml(P<0.05 or<0.01).Conclusion Changes in endotraeheal tube's resistance can distort the RSVT slope.

Objective To observe clinical curative effect of the external application of Wentong Paste plus local block therapy for the treatment of stenosing tendovaginitis at radial styloid. Methods A total of 108 cases of patients with stenosing tendovaginitis at the radial styloid were randomly divided into local block therapy group, combination group and Wentong Paste group, 36 cases in each group. The local block therapy group was given injection of blocking liquid into the tendon sheath, combination group was given external application of Wentong Paste(mainly composed of Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Fructus Psoraleae, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, and Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii) plus local block therapy, and Wentong Paste group was only given external application of Wentong Paste. Before treatment and after treatment for one and 2 week(s), visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of pain and range of motion (ROM) of wrist joint were observed for the evaluation of clinical effectiveness and safety. The patients were followed up for 3 months for the assay of recurrence rate. Results (1) After treatment for one week, the total effective rate of local block therapy group, combination group and Wentong Paste group was 77.8%, 100.0%, 72.2%respectively, and the total effective rate after treatment for 2weeks was 86.1%, 100.0%, 86.1% respectively. The combination group had better clinical efficacy than local block therapy group and Wentong Paste group (P < 0.05). (2) After treatment for one and 2 week (s), VAS scores of the 3 groups were obviously increased while ROM was much increased (P < 0.05 compared with those before treatment). The combination group had the lowest VAS scores and highest ROM(P < 0.05).(3) No adverse reaction was found in the 3 groups during the treatment. (4) The 3 month follow-up results showed that the recurrence rate of the three groups was 30.61%, 10.20%, 20.41% respectively, and the combination group had the lower rate than local block therapy group and Wentong Paste group(P<0.05). Conclusion The external application of Wentong Paste plus local block therapy is effective for the treatment of stenosing tendovaginitis at radial styloid by relieving pain, increasing the ROM, and reducing the recurrence rate. The one-week efficacy of Wentong Paste alone was inferior to that of local block therapy alone, but their two-week efficacy showed no obvious difference. Moreover, Wentong Paste has an obvious advantage in reducing the recurrence rate.

Objective To observe the biological role and the underlying mechanisms of miR-132 in liver cancer on invasion and metastasis.Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis was used to examine the expression of miR-132 in four liver cancer cell lines (MHCC97H,HCCLYH,MHCC97L and SMMC-7721),a normal liver cell line HL-7702,and in liver tumor tissues with or without metastases.The biological effects of miR-132 transfection on human liver can-cer cells were assessed by wound assay,matrigel counting and in vivo experiments in nude mice.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin,α-cadherin,vimentin,fibronectin and ZEB2 in li-ver cancer cells.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect positive expression of ZEB2 in xenograft tumors.Results The expressions of miR-132 were downregulated in the four liver cancer cell lines when compared with the normal liver cell line (P ＜ 0.05),and in the liver cancer tissues with distant metastases when compared with the tissues without metastases (P ＜ 0.05).After transfection,ectopic expressions of miR-132 markedly inhibited cell migration and invasion in liver cancer cells.When compared with the control group,the expressions of E-cadherin and α-cadherin in the miR-132 transfection group were significantly increased,but the expressions of vimentin,fibronectin and ZEB2 were decreased.In addition,the numbers of metastatic lung lesions in nude mice in the miR-132 transfection group was markedly decreased when compared with the control group.The expressions of ZEB2 in the miR-132 transfection group was also significantly decreased when compared with the control group.Conclusions Transfection of miR-132 effectively inhibited invasion and metastasis of liver cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.miR-132 may become a new target for regulation of gene expression in liver cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ischemic postconditioning on myocardial infarction and myocardial apoptosis in ischemia-reperfusion injury of rats, and the protective mechanisms thereof. Methods:Thirty-six healthy male Wistar rats(230-280 g) were randomly divided into three groups, ischemia-reperfusion group(Group I-R), ischemia 30 min and reperfusion 120 min without additional intervention; myocardial ischemic postconditioning group(Group Post), after 30 min ischemia, the rats were comprised 3 cycles of 10 seconds reperfusion followed by 10 seconds ischemia, and then the rats were reperfused 120 min; myocardial ischemic postconditioning+AG490(JAK2-STAT3 pathway inhibitor) group(Group Post+AG490), rats were treated with AG490 5 minutes before reperfusion, followed by myocardial ischemic postconditioning and 120 min reperfusion. The myocardial infarct size was measured by TTC staining. Apoptotic index of cardiomyocyte was detected by TUNEL. Results: Myocardial infarct size and myocardium apoptotic index were significantly reduced in Group Post compared to those in Group I-R(P ＜ 0.05). AG490 inhibited cardioprotective effect of ischemic postconditioning. Conclusion: Ischemic postconditioning provides potent cardioprotective effect. JAK2-STAT3 pathway mediates the cardioprotective effects of ischemic postconditioning.
