Objective To approach the directive function of time efficiency of first-aid to war wound and trauma. Methods To analyse the relationship between time and war wound or trauma death based on the statistical data of those wounds, then to define the time window of first aid aiming at the peak value of death. Results Bleeding and asphyxia should be virtually controlled in “emergency platinum 10 minutes”, resuscitation from shock should be within 30 minutes, at the same time, a definite operation to save life should be performed in “golden an hour”. Conclusions It is important to raise the time efficiency in each stage by training and improving the military affairs. To spread the first-aid knowledge may decrease cripples and mortality.

Objective To research the possibility of the rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into hepatocyte-like with hepatocyte growth factor plus E growth factor in vitro. Methods (1) Bone marrow in the femurs of Wistar rat was collected by flushing under sterile condition. MSCs were separated and cultured according to the direct anchoring method, identified by using immunocytochemical methods and flow cytometry. After MSCs were induced by HGF (20mg/ml) and EGF (10mg/ml), mRNA expression level of AFP、Alb、CK-18 in the MSCs were detected by RT-PCR. In addition, ultrastructures in the cells induced were observed using electron microscope. Results Anchored MSCs is single or cell clone is developed. Cell is uniform in the configuration and converged long fusiform after 7-10 days. Cultured cells are certified to be MSCs in the immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Afer 21 days, cultured cells show Hepatocyte-like characters in the configuration. RT-PCR:On day 7 mRNA of AFP was detected; mRNA of Alb and CK-18 were detected at the beginning, then strengthen on 21 day. At the same time, induced cells in the electron microscope results coincided with hepatic cells. Conclusions MSCs can be isolated, cultured and expanded easily in vitro. MSCs induced by HGF plus EGF in vitro can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells. As a result, it can provide a new therapeutic method for liver failure.

Objective To investigate the location and ultrastructure of hepatic stem cells in adult rat. Methods Proliferation of hepatic oval cell of the rat was accomplished. Identification was made with immunohistochemistry with CK18, 19 and CD34 as markers. Ultrastructure of hepatic stem cells was observed with transmission electron microscope. Results The majority of hepatic oval cells were localized in the Hering channel, but some of them were distributed in the hepatic lobules. Electron microscopy revealed three types of oval cells. TypeⅠ cell was small, 7?m in size, with large nucleus but small amounts of cytoplasm and organelles. The cell was recognized as primitive oval cell. Type Ⅱ cell was larger, measuring 8?m in diameter, containing more cytoplasm and organelles. Type Ⅲ cells were larger than both of above cells, and they contained more organelles. Conclusion Hepatic oval cells in adult rat are localized in Hering channel, and they may be stem cells hepatocytes.

Results showed that there was obvious increase of T lymphocyte in thorax cortex between fed and control, whereas distinct disparity of other indexes can not be found. These results implied that powdered N.nucifera seed has some functions of enforcing immunity.

Objective To provide imaging anatomy basis for percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) by measuring relative displacement and changes in anatomical position of kidney and colon under the prone and low-oblique supine positions.Methods Forty-six patients scheduled for PCNL underwent 64-slice spiral CT scan under the prone and low-arch oblique supine position before the PCNL.The horizontal distance of kidney and colon,the distance from colon and analog puncturing line,the distance between the kidney and colon were measured and compared between the 2 positions.Results The distance from colon and analog puncturing line under the low-oblique supine and prone positions were as follows,the left (26.56 ±15.36) mm versus (12.25 ±13.16) mm (t=3.527,P<0.05),the right (25.85 ±14.26) mm versus (13.57 ± 12.53) mm (t=3.234,P<0.05).The differences of the rest distances between the 2 positions were not significant ( P>0.05).Conclusions The distance between colon and analog puncturing line increases in the low-arch oblique supine position,because the colon shifts to the ventral.The PCNL in low-arch oblique supine position may reduce the incidence of colon injury,and improve surgical safety.

Objective To investigate the effect of N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) on the apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by regulating the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) signaling pathway.Methods The expression level of NDRG2 in human bladder cancer cell BIU-87 and immortalized cell SV-HUC-1 was detected by Western blot.NDRG2 over expression vector and empty vector control (pcDNA3.1),siRNA-NDRG2,siRNA control were transfected into BIU-87 cells.After transfected 48 h,the expression level of NDRG2,Cleaved caspase 3,STAT3,p-STAT3,JAK2,p-JAK2 were detected by Western blot,the cell proliferation and apoptosis were measured by MTT and flow cytometry.After adding inhibitor AG490 of 45 μmol/L in cultured BIU-87 cells,MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis,Western blot to detect the expression level of Cleaved caspase 3,STAT3,p-STAT3,JAK2,p-JAK2.Results The expression level of NDRG2 in bladder cancer cells was higher than that in bladder epithelial cells.The cell survival rate of pcDNA3.1/NDRG2 group was lower than that of pcDNA3.1 group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).The cell survival rate of siRNA-NDRG2 group was higher than that of siRNA control group (P＜ 0.01).The apoptosis rate of pcDNA3.1/NDRG2 group was higher than that of pcDNA3.1 group (P ＜ 0.01).The apoptosis rate of NDRG2 siRNA group was lower than that of siRNA control group (P ＜ 0.01).The level of p-STAT3 and p-JAK2 in pcDNA3.1/NDRG2 group was lower than that in pcDNA3.1 group (P＜ 0.01).The survival rate and apoptosis rate of BIU-87 cells cultured with AG490 were in agreement with the trend of pcDNA3.1/NDRG2 after transfection.Conclusions NDRG2 could promote the apoptosis of bladder cancer cells,and its mechanism may be related to STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To discuss the safety and efficacy of inserting ureterovesical reimplantation by means of laparoscopy associated with six-stitch suture.Methods There was an retrospective analysis on operation videos and clinical data for 16 participants of inserting ureterovesical reimplantation by means of laparoscopy associated with six-stitch suture with the period from March in 2012 to September in 2015. And these were statistically analyzed including the operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative drainage volume, removal time of drainage tube, admission time after operation and the incidence of postoperative complications of vesicoureteric reflux and stenosis.Results The operations of 16 participants were completed successfully without converting to open surgery. The operation time was 60 ~ 125 min (Mean time: 85 min); intraoperative bleeding volume was 20 ~ 50 ml (Mean volume: 32 ml); postoperative drainage volume was 60 ~ 400 ml (Mean volume: 106 ml); removal time of drainage tube was 3 ~ 6 d (Mean time: 4.2 d) and admission time after operation was 7 ~ 10 d (Mean time: 8.5 d). There was the follow-up with 6 ~ 18 months (Mean time: 12 months) for participants. No anastomotic stenosis was present. In addition, one participant was suffered from mild vesicoureteric relfux. And there was no aggravation during 18 months.Conclusions The inserting ureterovesical reimplantation by means of laparoscopy associated with six-stitch suture was safe and effective. It was found that the operation time was significantly shortened and the incidence of postoperative complications of vesicoureteric relfux and anastomotic stenosis was not increased. By contrast, the six-stitch suture could reduce the incidence of anastomotic stenosis.

Timely reporting, effective analyses and rapid distribution of surveillance data can assist in detecting the aberration of disease occurrence and further facilitate a timely response. In China, a new nationwide web-based automated system for outbreak detection and rapid response was developed in 2008. The China Infectious Disease Automated-alert and Response System (CIDARS) was developed by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention based on the surveillance data from the existing electronic National Notifiable Infectious Diseases Reporting Information System (NIDRIS) started in 2004. NIDRIS greatly improved the timeliness and completeness of data reporting with real time reporting information via the Internet. CIDARS further facilitates the data analysis, aberration detection, signal dissemination, signal response and information communication needed by public health departments across the country. In CIDARS, three aberration detection methods are used to detect the unusual occurrence of 28 notifiable infectious diseases at the county level and to transmit that information either in real-time or on a daily basis. The Internet, computers and mobile phones are used to accomplish rapid signal generation and dissemination, timely reporting and reviewing of the signal response results. CIDARS has been used nationwide since 2008; all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in China at the county, prefecture, provincial and national levels are involved in the system. It assists with early outbreak detection at the local level and prompts reporting of unusual disease occurrences or potential outbreaks to CDCs throughout the country.

Background/Aims: To investigate postpartum hepatic flares and associated factors in highly viremic pregnant patients in the immune tolerance phase who adopted telbivudine (LdT) treatment in the last trimester to reduce vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus. Methods: Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive, highly viremic pregnant women were recruited for this prospective study. Treatment with LdT was started from 28 weeks of gestation. Virological and biochemical markers were examined before LdT treatment, antepartum and postpartum. Serial blood samples at the same time were collected to detect cytokines and cortisol (COR). Results: Fifty-six of 153 patients (36.6%) had postpartum hepatic flares, defined as a 2-fold increase in alanine aminotransferase 6 weeks after delivery. Age and the antepartum alanine aminotransferase and postpartum HBeAg levels were independent influencing factors of postpartum hepatic flares. Cytokines showed no regularity during or after pregnancy. Compared with the patients with no postpartum flares, the patients with flares had lower baseline interferon γ and COR levels (p=0.022 and p=0.028) and higher postpartum interferon γ levels (p=0.026). Conclusions A high proportion of highly viremic and immune-tolerant pregnant patients treated with LdT in the last trimester had postpartum hepatic flares, which implied that these patients entered the immune clearance phase after delivery. Thus, this may create an appropriate opportunity for re-antiviral therapy.

OBJECTIVE To explore mecha-nisms of imperatorin on regulating P-glycoprotein(P-gp)in blood-brain barrier(BBB)based on net-work pharmacology combined with in vitro experi-ment.METHODS Drug targets were predicted using the Pharmapper and Swiss targets data-bases;disease targets were obtained through the Genecards database;intersections between drugs and disease targets were screened by Cytoscape software;the obtained core targets were used to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)network,gene ontology(GO)functions,and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis.The effects of imperatorin(20,50,100 μ mol·L-1)on P-gp activity were monitored in hCMEC/D3in vitro BBB model,and the effects of imperatorin on the expression of target proteins were verified using Western blot method.RESULTS 55 drug targets and 3102 disease targets were obtained from the network pharmacology screening,and 37 core targets were obtained after the combination.Enrichment analysis showed that core targets were closely related to chemical synaptic trans-mission regulation,neurotransmitter receptor activity,proteinkinaseregulationactivity,G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway,neural active ligand receptor interaction pathway,PI3K-Akt sig-naling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,etc..In vitro experimental validation suggested that all tested concentration groups of imperatorin signifi-cantly reduced the activity and expression of P-gp,which were achieved by significantly downregu-lating the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt,and repressing the expression of VEGFR2 pro-tein.CONCLUSION Network pharmacology was used to predict the core targets and signaling pathways of imperatorin on regulating P-gp in BBB and relevant validation was conducted through in vitro experiments,providing a refer-ence basis for further exploration of the mecha-nisms of imperatorin on regulating P-gp in BBB.
