Objective:To investigate the changes of leukotriene B4(LTB4)、15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid(15-HETE)in lung of an animal model with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),and the effects of ipratropium.Methods:Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomized into three groups,Group A(normal controls,group B(COPD),group C(smoking+ipratropium),with 12 rats in each group.Group C receiving inhaling ipratropium 0.025%10ml and once a day for 23 days.Pulmonary functions of the rats were assessed, concen-trations of LTB4 15-HETE in lung tissue were measured by RP-HPLC.Results:The lung functions of FEV0.3/FVC%in COPD rats declined obviously(P0.05). Conclusion:Our results suggest that LTB4 and 15-HETE are involved in airway inflammation in COPD.Ipratropium is effective in decreasing the levels of LTB4 and 15-HETE in lung tissue of COPD rats,and attenuating inflammatory changes of airways.

Objective To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment for cholecystolithiasis with billiary-cardiac syndrome(BCS). Methods The clinical data of 149 cholecystolithiasis patients with BCS were retrospectively analysed. Results The incidence of BCS in cholecystolithiasis was 39.4%(149/378).All the 149 patients underwent cholecystectomy.No severe complications or death occurred in this series. Three months after operation, 123(82.6%) cases of BCS were followed up. Of them, ECG returned to normal and the symptoms disappeared in 102 cases(82.9%);ECG had no obvious change,but the symptoms improved in 15 cases(12.2%). Conclusions Cholecystectomy is the only effective method for treating cholecystolithiasis with BCS. For patients with asymtomatic cholecystolithiasis,if the patients cardiac function can tolerate operation,a cholecystectomy should also be done.

Objective To analyze the etiology,diagnosis and therapy of benign biliary strictures and im-prove curative and preventive effects. Methods 212 patients suffering from benign biliary strictures in Nankai Hos-pital from January 2004 to December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Inflammatory strictures (65.12%,140/215) and strictures caused by operations (20.46%,44/215) were the most two causes. Strictures parts were mainly located in the latter segment of common bile duct 52.09% (112/215). In our group,the stent of strictures parts took 31.37% (64/204), bilioendodraignage 18.13% (37/204), and the modification of strictures parts 43.63% (89/204) as well as resection of stricture parts 1.96% (4/204). Conclusions Inflammatory stricture is the main cause in benign biliary strictures and the main locus is the hinder segment of common bile duct. The di-agnesis of benign biliary strictures before operation is important because it can help to decide the approach way and prognosis. The strategies of curing benign biliary strictures could include operations and endoscopy. The stent of stric-tures parts, bilioendodraignage and the modification of strictures parts are the main treaments for benign biliary stric-tures.

20 cases of artificial total hip joint rebuilding were selected, all of which were unilateral total hip joint rebuilding. Harris scores before and after the surgery and hip joint activity evaluation were carried out to the pa-tients. The average follow-up duration was 1 to 2 years. Up to the last follow-up,the activity of hip joint had been obviously improved compared with that before the operation. Through X-ray, the phenomena such as radiolucent zone around the prosthesis,prosthesis shift or osteolysis around the prosthesis haven't been seen. The short-term clinical effect of artificial total hip joint rebuilding was obvious for patients with hailure of first total hip joint re-placement caused by various reasons.

The present paper reports a systematic research of the antifatigue effect of Flammulina velutipes. The antifatigue effect was judged by the examination of serum lactate dchydrogenase activity, level of blood lactic acid, serum urea nitrogen, muscle and liver glycogen,The experiments indicated that feeding Flammulina velutipes to mice for several days the lactate dehydrogenase activity, muscle and liver glycogeu levels were significantly higher than that of the control. After exercise, the levels of blood lactate and serum urea nitrogen were significantly lower than those of control. After exercise, the recovery rate of lactic acid was much faster than that of control.From the above results, we concluded the Flammulina velutipes may have significant effect on the capability of adaptation to heavy exercise and prevention or elimination of fatigue after exercise.

BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is indicated as an effective method for treatment of delayed fracture healing or nonunion. Osteoblasts plays an important role in this process.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the function of osteoblasts in the process of extracorporeal shock wave promoting fractures healing, and to provide theoretical support for improving shock wave therapy on fracture healing.METHODS: Primary cultured ostsoblasts were isolated from newbon SD rat calvaria and randomly divided into two groups, shock wave and control. Treated by different energies of extracorporeal shock wave, cells were incubated onto 96-well culture plate. An optimal dose of extracorporeai shock wave was selected according to survival and proliferation of osteoblasts. The osteoblasts treated by optimal energy of extracorporeal shock wave were cultured and harvested for the analysis of alkaline phosphatase by calcium cobolt stain, cell survival by CCK-8 Kit, alkaline phosphatase expression by AKP kit, mineralized nodules by Alizarin red staining, integrin β1 and β1 mRNA expressions by flow cytometry and RT-PCR, cell migration by wound healing assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal energy of extracorporeal shock wave treating primary cultured osteoblasts was 10 kV (500 impulses). Following extracorporeal shock wave therapy, the cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, cell mineralization, rates of cell adhesion, as well as β1 integrin and its mRNA expressions were increased as compared with those in control group (P ＜ 0.01). Further distance of cell migration was found in extracorporeal shock wave group (P ＜ 0.05). The results showed that the optimal energy of extracorporeal shock wave could promote the proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and migration of osteoblasts in vitro, and β1 integrin may play an important role in the process of cell adhesion and migration.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and prevalence of HIV infection among AIDS volunteer counseling and testing ( VCT ) clients in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City from 2016 to 2019, so as to provide insights into local AIDS control. Methods: The demographic features, reasons for counseling and detection of anti-HIV antibody were captured from the VCT clinic of Shangcheng Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2016 to 2019, and the reasons for counseling and prevalence of HIV infections were analyzed. Results: A total of 2 205 clients were included, among whom 1 920 participants ( 87.07% ) were male, 1 094 ( 49.61% ) were at ages of < 30 years, 1 293 ( 58.64% ) were single, and 1 165 ( 52.83% ) had an education level of diploma and above. The common reasons for counseling included a history of homosexual behaviors with men (887 clients, 40.23%), non-commercial irregular heterosexual behaviors ( 661 clients, 29.98% ), commercial heterosexual behaviors ( 308 clients, 13.97% ), HIV-positive spouse/regular sex partners ( 123 clients, 5.58% ), and no high-risk behaviors ( 47 clients, 2.13% ). The positive rate of anti-HIV antibody was 2.95% among the 2 205 clients, and a high positive rate was observed among clients at ages of 50 years and below ( 6.15% ), single clients ( 3.71% ), clients with an education level of primary school and below ( 6.04% ) and clients with HIV-positive spouse/regular sex partners ( 11.38% ). Conclusions Single men at ages of less than 30 years and with a high education level are predominant among VCT clients in Shangcheng District, and a history of homosexual behaviors with men is the predominant reason for counseling. There is a relative low prevalence rate of HIV infection among VCT clients in Shangcheng District; however, a high prevalence rate is found among single visitors at ages of 50 years and older, with an education level of primary school and below and HIV-positive spouse/regular sex partners.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between the prognosis of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and the degree of bile duct dilatation in MRCP .Methods:The clinical data of 89 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma undergoing radical operation at Tianjin Nankai Hospital from Jan 2009 to Dec 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Tumor size ( P=0.024), Bismuth-Corlette classification ( P=0.048) and tumor stage ( P=0.013) were related factors of biliary dilatation. Tumor differentiation ( P=0.002), R 0 resection ( P=0.002) and biliary dilatation ( P<0.001) were independent predictors of disease-free survival (DFS). Conclusion:The imaging evaluation of the degree of biliary dilatation has a certain predictive value for the prognosis of patients with hilar cholangio-carcinoma.
