Objective To evaluate the effect of thoracic epidural block combined with general anesthesia on c-fos and heat shock protein(HEP) 70 gene expression of myocardium from non-infarct area in rabbits with acute myocardial infarction. Methods Twenty-eight New Zealand white rabbits of either sex (12 male, 16 female), weighing 2.5-3. 8kg were randomly divided into two groups with 14 animals in each group: general anesthesia group and combined general-epidural anesthesia group. The rabbits were anesthetized with 1 % pentobarbital and tracheotomized and intubated. Spontaneous breathing was maintained. Epidural catheter was placed with one of the tips reaching T2-3. 2% lidocaine was injected and the effectiveness of epidural block was confirmed by decrease in MAP. Left common carotid artery was cannulated for intra-arterial pressure monitoring. Chest was then opened, and anterior descending branch of left coronary artery was ligated. Myocardial infarction was confirmed by changes in ECG. 4 hours after ligation the animals were sacrificed and a piece of myocardium from non-infarct area was taken for measurement of the concentration, OD and ratio of total RNA in 100 mg of myocardium. 0.7 ?g of total RNA was used for determination of c-fos and HPS 70 expression relative to ?-actin gene(c-fos/ ?-actin, HSP70/ ?-actin) by using one-step RT-PCR. Results c-fos/ ?-actin and HSP70/ ?-actin were significantly lower in combined general-epidural anesthesia group than those in control group(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of compound glycyrrhizin on the percentage of Th17 cells and expression of interleukin(IL)-17A in peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and to explore their relationship with therapeutic effects. Methods A total of 30 patients with mild to moderate progressive psoriasis vulgaris were randomly and equally divided into two groups:group 1 treated with compound glycyrrhizin injection, antihistamines and topical drugs, group 2 treated with antihistamines and topical drugs. Twelve healthy human subjects served as the control group. Blood samples were collected from the patients 1 day before start of treatment and after 3 weeks of treatment, and from the control group. Flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)were performed to determine the percentage of Th17 cells and expression level of IL-17A respectively in the peripheral blood samples. Results Before the treatment, the percentage of Th17 cells and expression level of IL-17A were both significantly higher in the two patient groups than in the control group (all P<0.05). After the treatment, group 1 showed significant decreases in the percentage of Th17 cells and expression level of IL-17A compared with those before the treatment (both P<0.05), while no significant differences were observed in group 2 between pre-and posttreatment IL-17A expression level or Th17 cell percentage (both P>0.05). Furthermore, both Th17 cell percentage and IL-17A expression were significantly different between the two patient groups after the treatment (both P< 0.05). Conclusion Compound glycyrrhizin may treat psoriasis vulgaris by regulating Th17 cell percentage and IL-17A expression in peripheral blood.

ObjectiveEvidence-based medicine was used to make an individualized treatment plan for rare solitary splenic metastasis of an ovarian carcinoma in a female patient. MethodsAfter clinical problems were discovered, evidence was collected from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, CNKI and Wanfang databases according to our predefined search strategy. The search was done until October, 2009. The validity of the evidence was assessed. The evidence, combined with the doctor experience and the patient value, was applied to the patient. ResultsA total of 15 English literature and 11 Chinese literature were identified. A rational treatment plan was made upon a critical evaluation of the data. There were 5 review articles in PubMed, EMBASE and ScienceDirect databases and no RCT in the Cochrane Library. And there was one retrospective cohort study inCNKI and Wanfang databases. The others were all case reports. After 20 month follow-up, the treatment protocol was proven correct. Conclusion The patient has rare disease, and the evidence intension for the evidence-based medicine was low. It can not present the efficacy of the evidence-based medicine treatment sufficiently, though it could provide some suggestion for rare disease which was lack of large RCT for evidence-based Methods .

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on intestine injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in rats.
METHODSThirty-two rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, NAC control group, CPB model group, and CPB plus NAC treatment group (n=8). In the latter two groups, the rats were subjected to CPB for 1 h. The rats received intraperitoneal injections of normal saline or NAC (0.5 g/kg) as appropriate for 3 successive days prior to CPB, and those in CPB plus NAC group were given NAC (100 mg/kg) in CPB prime followed by infusion at 20 mgsol;(kg·h) until the cessation of CPB. Intestinal and blood samples were collected 2 h after CPB for pathological analysis and measurement of intestinal concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interlukin (IL)-6 and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and serum levels of diamine oxidase (DAO).
RESULTSEvident oxidative stress and pathological damages of the intestines were observed in rats after CPB. NAC treatment obviously alleviated intestinal damages induced by CPB, decreased the levels of intestinal MDA, TNF-α, IL-6 and serum DAO and increased activity of SOD, GSH, and GSH-Px in the intestines.
CONCLUSIONPerioperative NAC treatment can alleviate intestinal injury induced by CPB in rats by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammatory response.
