Objective To determine the expression of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors (PPARs), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in rats with obstructive jaundice induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) and elucidate the molecular regulation mechanisms of hepatic injury due to obstructive jaundi(c)e. Methods All rats were sacrificed on the 7th day and 19th day after BDL and blood and liver tissue samples were obtained. SOD enzyme activity was detected by SOD kit. RT-PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression of PPARs in all groups. The detection of PPARs protein and activation of NF-κB were performed using an immunohistochemical method. Results The activities of normal SOD and CuZn-SOD were decreased compared to the sham group (P＜0.01), and the decrease on 19th day after BDL were more significant. The level of PPARs expression in the BDL groups liver except the PPARβ in the BDL 7th group was reduced compared to the sham group (P＜0.01), and the level on the 19th day after BDL were more significantly reduced. PPARs protein expression was significantly inhibited (P＜0.01) in the sham group. SOD in BDL groups had significant positive correlation as compared with PPARs protein expression (P＜0.01), but NF-κBp65 protein expression had significant negative correlation as compared with PPARs protein expression (P＜0. 01). Conclusion PPARs are inhibited in expression level, and this inhibition becomes more significant as the pathological process progresses. PPARs might be key regulatory factors for SOD and NF-κB. The low expression of PPARs might be one of the important molecular mechanisms in liver injury due to obstructive jaundice.

Objective To understand the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens causing wound in-fection in army officers and soldiers following military training injury,and provide reference for antimicrobial use in clinical anti-infection treatment.Methods Wound secretion from injured army patients who were admitted to a mili-tary hospital between January 2014 and June 2015 was performed bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Results 647 pathogenic bacteria strains were isolated from 1 029 wound secretion specimens ,isolation rate was 62.88%,the top 6 isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (S .aureus ,29.99%,n =194),Escherichia coli (E.coli,19.32%,n=125),Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.17%,n=124),Enterococcus spp .(13.60%,n=88), Klebsiella pneumoniae (K .pneumoniae ,7.73%,n =50),and Acinetobacter baumannii (A.baumannii,5.87%, n=38).S .aureus and Enterococcus spp .had high susceptibility to vancomycin,linezolid ,and daptomycin (resist-ance rates ≤3.41 %),44.33% of S .aureus were methicillin-resistant,2.27% of Enterococcus spp .were vancomy-cin-resistant .E.coli and K .pneumoniae had high susceptibility rates to piperacillin/ tazobactam (resistance rates were 1 .60% and 0 respectively),except A.baumannii,resistance rates of gram-negative bacteria to carbapenems were all low (resistance rates ≤4.00%).Conclusion Military clinicians should select appropriate antimicrobial agents according to antimicrobial susceptibility testing results,reduce the disability rate due to infection in trauma patients,and provide clinical support for the treatment of the wounded.

BACKGROUND:Percutaneous vertebroplasty for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures has achieved very good results.
OBJECTIVE:To discuss and resolve some problems related to thoracic and lumbar vertebroplasty.
METHODS:225 patients (78 males and 147 females) aged 53 to 92 years old were included in this study. They al accepted percutaneous vertebrolplasty and we observed and made a record about some questions related this surgery during perioperative period.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six cases (2.7%) missed diagnosis. More than two-third of the compression degree were found in sixteen cases (7.1%). Forty-five (12.8%) vertebrae suffered from bone cement leakage in twenty-nine cases (12.9%). Recurrent fractures appeared in ten cases (4.4%). Multiple vertebrae fractures appeared in seventy-nine cases (35.1%). (1) Strategies for missed diagnosis:conduct preoperative physical examination careful y;avoid missing the point of pain;increase MRI scanning when necessary. (2) Coping strategies for severe vertebral fractures:place the needle into the paral el endplates as far as possibly;puncture along the lumbar spine pedicle base and the lateral thoracic pedicle. (3) Coping strategies for cement leakage:when cement leakage over the lower edge of the end plate occurred in operation, we should immediately put the C-arm X-ray machine into anteroposterior position to determine the orientation of the leakage and stop injecting;we should continue to inject the bone cement into the no leak-side to ensure the fil ing amount of vertebral bone cement. (4) Coping strategies for recurrent fractures:reoperation. (5) Coping strategies for multiple fractures:patients with multiple fractures often have a feature of poor constitution and more complications. So, it is necessary to shorten the operation time, and determine unilateral or bilateral puncture ways depending on the degree of vertebral compression to save operation time.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on cognitive dysfunction after thoracic surgery in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation.Methods Sixty-two patients,aged 45-64 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,with body mass index ranged from 17.5 to 25.5 kg/m2,scheduled for elective thoracic surgery,were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n =31 each) using a random number table:dexmedetomidine group (Dex group) and control group (C group).Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was infused for 10 min starting from the time point before induction of anesthesia,followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until 30 min before the end of surgery in Dex group.The equal volume of normal saline was administered instead in group C.Before induction and at 24,48 and 72 h after surgery,venous blood samples were collected for determination of levels of S-100 beta protein and neuronspecific enolase in serum by ELISA.Cognitive function was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination at 72 h after surgery.Results The levels of S-100 beta protein and neuron-specific enolase in serum were significantly increased after surgery than before induction in the two groups.Compared to C group,the levels of S-100 beta protein and neuron-specific enolase in serum were significantly decreased after surgery,and the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was decreased in Dex group (26％ vs 6％).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the nerve damage during one-lung ventilation and significantly inhibit the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing thoracic surgery,indicating that dexmedetomidine is suitable for thoracic surgery.

Objective:To investigate the antitumor efficiency of the special cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTLs) activated by dendritic cells(DCs) pulsed with K-ras (12-Val) antigen.Methods:DCs was generated from PBMC in the presence of granuloceyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF),interleukin-4(IL-4)in vitro.DCs were differently sensitized with K-ras mutant pancreatic cancer cell line,K-ras(12-Val) mutant peptide,K-ras(12-Val) mutant peptide with the surface of cationic nanoparticle.Cell surface markers on DCs was measured by flow cytometry.The activation of CTL induced by DCs was detected by ~3H- thymidine incorporation test.The killing effects of CTL to pancreatic cancer was detected by ~(125)I-UdR release test. Production of IL-12 and IFN-γ by DCs and PBMC was detected by ELISA.Results:Compared with DCs pulsed with K-ras(12-Val) mutant peptide and K-ras (12-Val) mutant peptide with the surface of cationic nanoparticle,DCs pulsed with whole tumor antigen could better induce CTLs killing activity(P＜0.05).The DCs with K-ras(12-Val) mutant peptide and K-ras mutant peptide with the surface of cationic nanoparticle could produce specific CTL killing activity aganist pancreatic cancer cell line Patu8988(K-ras+)(P＜0.05),but not SW1990(K-ras-)(P＞0.05). K-ras (12-Val) mutant peptide with the surface of cationic nanoparticle at lower concentrations can be effectively presenting on the surface of DCs than only K-ras (12-Val) mutant peptide.Conclusion:K-ras (12-Val) mutant peptide with cationic carrier can be effectively presenting and expression of DCs and induce CTL specific killing activity aganist pancreatic cancer cell lines with K-ras (12-Val) mutant peptide.

BACKGROUND: Both therapeutic effects of stem cell transplantation and differentiation mechanism remain controversial;however, plentiful clinical studies have indicated that stem call transplantation might improve heart function.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of intracoronary autologous bone marrow mononuclear call transplantation for the treatment of chronic heart failure.DESIGN: Case analysis. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 80 patients with chronic heart failure who were selected from Henan People's Hospital from 2003 to 2008 were divided into two groups: autologous bone marrow mononuclear call transplantation group (n=48) and conventional drug therapy group (n=32). There were no significant differences in sex, age, accepting conventional drug therapy,echocardiogram before transplantation, plasma brain natriuretic peptide level, and myocardial perfusion imaging between the two goups (P>0.05).METHODS: A one-year following up before and after cell transplantation, conventional drug therapy was performed in the two groups. Based on conventional drug therapy, autologous bone marrow mononuclear call suspension (10 mL) was slowly poured into coronary artery, and the cell number was adjusted to (3.1±1.6)×10 8. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of heart function were measured using ultrasound apparatus; plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels were detected using double antibodies immumofluorescence method; area of myocardial perfusion defect region was detected using single photon emission computed tomography.RESULTS: Patients in the two groups finished the one-year follow-up, and adverse effects and complications were not found before and after cell transplantation. ①Compared to before cell transplantation, end-systolic volume (ESV) of the left ventricle was significantly decreased in the autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation group after one year (P < 0.05), but ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle was significantly increased (P < 0.05). However, both ESV and EF were not changed in the conventional drug therapy group (P> 0.05). Compared to conventional drug therapy group, ESV and EF were changed significantly in the autologous bone marrow mononuclear call transplantation group after one year (P < 0.05). ②Compared to before cell transplantation, plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels were significantly decreased in the two groups (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Area of myocardial perfusion defect region was significantly decreased (P < 0.05 or 0.01), and the area change in the autologous bone marrow mononuclear call transplantation group was significantly greater than conventional drug therapy group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Autologous bone marrow mononucleer call transplantation is safe and feasible for the treatment of chronic heart failure, and it also can remarkably improve heart function and myocardial perfusion within one year.
