Objective To investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor(POGF),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and epidermal growth factor(EGF)on the proliferation,migration and phenotypie modulation of airway smooth muscle cells(ASMCs)in vitro.Methods Cultured human ASMCs were stimulated with PDGF.bFGF,EGF or DMEM(control).Cell pmliferation was detected by BrdU incorporation and cell count.Cell migration was measured using Boyden's chamber.Reverse transcription-poly-merase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot analysis were used for the detection of sm-α-actin and sm-MHC mRNA and protein expression in ASMCs.Resuits The mitotic index(%BrdU-positive per total number of cells)of ASMCs stimulated with PDGF.bFGF and EGF were significantly higher than those in control(P<0.001 or P<0.05).And the cell number of ASMCs stimulated with PDGF,bFGF and EGFwere also significantly higher than those in control(P<0.05).The number of migrating cells treated with PDGF,bFGF and EGF were higher than that in eontrol(P<0.05).The expressions of sm-α-actin mRNA treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control.but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF.The expressions of sm-MHC mRNA treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control,but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF(P<0.01 orP<0.05).Theexpressions of sm-α-actin protein treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control,but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF(P<0.05).The expressions of sm-MHC protein treated with bFGF and EGF were significantly lower than those in control.but it was higher than control when treated with PDGF(P<0.05).Conclusion PDGF,bFGF and EGF can directly induce ASMCs,proliferation and migration in vitro;and meanwhile,the expressions of cells,contractive phenotype increased treated with PDGF and decreased treated with bFGF and EGF.

Observing the clinical curative effect of orthopedics lotion to treat traumatic ankle arthritis, the outpatient department of orthopedics in Guang'anmen Hospital collected 60 cases who were diagnosed as traumatic ankle arthritis. The cases who already met the inclusion criteria, were randomly divided into the treatment group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). Thirty patients in treatment group were received fumigation treatment with orthopedics lotion; 30 patients in control group were treated by intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate. After 5 weeks treatment, the effects on the both groups would be observed and analysed. Baird-Jackson scoring system was used to assess the overall curative effect. Visual analogue scales (VAS) was used to assess analgesic effect. BJ scores of pre-treatment and post-treatment in both the treatment group and the control group were compared, P <0O. 01, significantly different; and the BJ scores after treatment of two groups were compared by paired t-test, the t value is 1. 76, there was no significant difference between two groups. Both of the treatments were effective, but there was no significant difference in overall curative effect between the two kinds of treatment. The VAS scores after treatment of two groups were compared by paired t-test, the t value was 2. 282, and there was a significant difference between two groups (P <0. 05). The analgesic effect shown in treatment group was better than the control group. The results suggest that: orthopedics lotion is a effective way to treat traumatic ankle arthritis, and it has significant effect on analgesic.

With the publish of National Medical Service Pricing Item Regulation(2012 edition), a new round of medical service items matching and pricing work across the country. Under the guidance of new pricing elements and pricing policy, to actively discuss on designing more scientific pricing method. Based on the field survey and qualitative interviews, several main pricing methods currently used in China were summarized to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these methods.

The expression of ZNF191 mRNA in 31 ovarian malignant tumors and 31 normal ovary tissues were investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). It was found that expression level of ZNF191 mRNA in malignant ovarian tumors was much less than that in normal ovary tissues (P

Objective To investigate relationship between different degrees of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and cognitive impairment. Methods The cognitive function were evaluated with the montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) in 80 patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and 56 controls, the total MoCA scores and subprojects scores were compared between the patients with different degrees of ACS and controls. Results The total MoCA score, visual space and executive function, attention and delayed recall had significant difference among the mild, moderate, severe ACS patients and control group (all P < 0.05). There was no statistical significance of the total MoCA score and the scores of all subprojects between the patients of mild ACS patients and the control group (all P > 0.05). The total MoCA score and the scores of visual space and executive function , attention and delayed recall in moderate and severe ACS patients were significantly lower than the control group and mild ACS patients (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the severe ACS patients, compared with the moderate ACS patients , performed worse on the cognitive tasks which involved visual space and executive function, attention and delayed recall (P < 0.05). Conclusions Cognitive function is impaired in the patients with moderate and severe ACS,the neuropsychological characteristics are mainly impaired in visual space and executive function, attention and delayed recall.

Objective To study and design a new algorithm of QT interval measurement based on multi-scale morphological derivative transform(MMDT) according to the demands of mobile monitoring platform.Methods After the MMDT of ECG signals by inducing a triangle and a short line as a pair of structure elements,they were classified into four types by their morphological characteristics and the optimal strategy for each type was described to detect the onset of Q-wave.By introducing the "wing" function,two referenced points of T peak were picked out,which was helpful to locate the peak and offset of T wave,and improve the precision and recognition rate of MMDT method when detecting the bifid T wave(90.9%)and biphasic T wave(86.7%).Results Eighty data records from CSE database were used to evaluate the availability.By contrast with the wavelet transform method,the statistical results showed that the proposed algorithm had generally less error and smaller standard deviation especially for abnormal-phase T wave.Conclusion Compared with those algorithms based on wavelet transform and self-adaptive threshold techniques,our algorithm needs less empirical parameters and calculation.It is also suitable for mobile monitoring and HOLTER system,and has a wide prospect of application.

Objective To investigate the changes and its clinical significance of serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level and plasma tissue plasminogen activator( t-PA ) level in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Methods 99 aMCI patients (aMCI group) and 99 matched normal controls (NC group) were recruited for the present study. Multi-dimension neuropsychologic tests were used to extensively assess cognitive function of subjects. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to measure serum BDNF level and plasma t-PA level. The correlation analysis between serum BDNF level and plasma t-PA level tested by ELISA and cognitive function were also made. Results (1) The results neuropsychologic tests in aMCI guoup were significantly lower than those in NC group (all P

Pulmonary edema frequently occurs after severe burn. It not only impairs pulmonary function directly, but also can induce or exacerbate other pulmonary complications such as lung infection, acute lung injury ( ALI), and ARDS. Extravascular lung water (EVLW) is closely related to the pulmonary edema. Dynamical monitor of EVLW has been used to predict and quantify the degree of pulmonary edema clinically. This review focuses on the recent progresses at home and abroad on the formation mechanism, monitoring approach, and prevention and treatment of EVLW after severe burn injury.
