Glycyrrhizic acid, as the main active ingredient of Glycyrrhiza, has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitussive, expectorant, immunomodulatory and other pharmacological effects. In recent years, many new clinical uses of glycyrrhizic acid have been found, and glycyrrhizic acid has an effect on human and animal cytochrome P 450. This paper summarizes the clinical application of glycyrrhizic acid and its effect on cytochrome P 450, providing reference for clinical rational use of glycyrrhizic acid preparation.

Objective The purpose of the study was to compare the P63 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between Xuanwei and other regions, and to investigate the relationship of P63 expression and biological behavior. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used. Results The results indicated that the expression of P63 in lung squamous cell carcinoma was extraordinarily high. P63 was related to the TNM staging system,tissue differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis,but not related to gender. In NSCLC,there was no significant difference of the P63 positive expression rate in the same pathological types, staging, tissue differentiation degree, lymph node metastasis and gender between Xuanwei and other regions. It indicated that the expression of P63 was not the reason why it was high incidence of lung cancer in Xuanwei region.

Background Retinal retinoic acid (RA) plays an important role in the formation of the lensinduced myopia.However,it is not clear how RA transfer the myopic signal to choroid throughout the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) barrier.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) on the barrier of RPE in lens-induced myopic eye of guinea pig.Methods Thirty left eyes of 30 21-dayold clean guinea pigs were randomized into normal control group and the model group.The models of out of focus were induced by covering of-6.00 D concave lens on the left eyes for 15 days.Radius of corneal curvature was measured using corneal curvimeter,and diopeter of the guinea pig was examined by mydriatic optometry.The length of ocular axis was detected by A-sonography.The animals were sacrificed and the retinas of the left eyes were isolated for the culture and passage of RPE cells.The third generation of cells were incubated Millcell-PET microporous film,and atRA at the concentration of 1 × 10-6,1 × 10-7,1 × 10-8 and 1 × 10-9 mol/L was added to the micropore respectively for 12 hours,and the micropores with equal-solvent served as negative control group.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)colorimetric method was used to detect the survival rate of the cells.Subsequently,the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) of the monolayer cells was determined with CN10-EVOM2 resistance measuring meter.The vesicular transport change of RPE membrane in different groups was evaluated by FM1-43 fluorescence staining.Results The mean diopter was (-2.20±0.95) D in the models,and that in the controls was (+ 1.15 ±0.30) D,with a significant difference between them (t =14.57,P＜ 0.01).The axial length was (8.24 ± 0.09) mm in the models and it was significantly longer than (7.81±0.05) mm in the controls (t=17.20,P＜0.01).RPE cells grew well to form a monolayer in Millcell culture pool after one week.After 24 hours of the atRA treatment,the survival rate of RPE cells reduced gradually with the increase of atRA concentration with the highest rate in the 1 × 10-9 mol/L atRA group (93.3 ％) and followed by the 1 × 10-8 mol/L atRA group (88.2％).More than half of the cells dead in the 1 × 10-6mol/L and 1 × 10-7mol/L atRA groups (53.8％ and 47.1％).Significant differences in the TER value and fluorescence staining intensity of the cells were seen among the various groups (F =43.89,P =0.00 ; F =26.13,P =0.00),with the maximal values in the 1 × 10-8mol/L atRA group.The FM1-43 fluorescence located on the cellular membrane and cytoplasm.Conclusions AtRA can increase the functional state of tight junction and vesicular transport,which regulated the RPE cell barrier in the guinea pig.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the inhibited effect of matrine on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells and the expression of apoptosis-related gene Caspase-3 mRNA, Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9 protein. And to explore the inhibiting effect of matrine on the apoptosis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells. METHOD: In vitro experiments, MTT assay was used to detect the effect of matrine on CNE2 cell proliferation with different concentration. The expression levels of Caspase-3 were detected by real-time PCR. Western Blot was used to gauge the levels of Caspase-3, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 protein. RESULT: MTT results showed significant inhibitory action of matrine on CNE2 cells proliferation in does-dependent manner, which could up-regulate the expression of Caspase-3 mRNA and Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9 protein in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION Matrine could inhibit CNE2 cells proliferation in a does-dependent,that was closely related to the up-regulation of Caspase-3 mRNA and Caspase-3, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 protein expression, and to the cascade reaction of Caspase.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) of rats differentiating into endothelial cells.MethodsBone marrow cells were obtained by an aseptic technique. Afterwards, the obtained cells were divided into two groups: cells in test group were propagated in 1640 medium with recombinant human GM-CSF (rhGM-CSF) (400ng/ml), and that in control group were propagated in medium with 1640 medium only. The differentiated cells were detected by specific immunology marker by immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence at day 8.ResultsThe differentiated cells demonstrated the characters of endothelial cells under phase contrast microscopy. Cells of the test groups demonstrated specific characters by immunocytochemistry stain.ConclusionBone marrow stromal cells can multiply vigorously and differentiate into cells with endothelial cells characters in the medium with high concentration rhGM-CSF.

Anesthesiology rotation is an important part in resident standardization training of surgery. However, there are many problems in the teaching process. For example, the key points of teaching is not clear, the process of teaching is not coherent, and teachers and students lack interaction. The Rotation Record is introduced in order to solve those problems. The Rotation Record effectively reflects the fundamental process and major learning point of anesthesiology department which contains three items: the usage and recording of instrument; the communication and the basic knowledge and operating skills of anesthesia. The Rotation Record can initiate learning activity, emphasize important contents, supervise and urge teaching and improve the learning effect. By introducing Rotation Record, the assessment results in the surgical residency in anesthesiology has greatly improved compared to the previous ones, and has effectively improved the teaching quality of anesthesia.

Objective To explore the MR features of granulomatous mastitis and to improve the diagnosis of the disease.Methods MR findings of 1 1 patients with granulomatous mastitis confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed.Results Nine (81.82%)lesions showed regional or diffused hyperintensity on T2 WI with heterogeneous gridding features.2 (18.18%)lesions showed mass-like enhancement and 9 lesions showed non-mass-like enhancement.Of 9 (81.82%)lesions with non-mass-like en-hancement,the enhancement patterns included diffused in 2 (18.18%)cases,regional in 4 (36.36%)cases,multiple-regional in 2 (18.18%)cases,and focal in 1 (9.09%)case,respectively.All the lesions showed early heterogeneous enhancement,and clumped-ring enhancement was seen in 6 lesions.The signal intensity of the lesions was increased and more uniform in the later stage.The time-signal intensity curve was type I in 7(63.64%)cases,type II in 3 (27.27%)cases and type III in 1 (9.09%)case.The mean ADC value was (1.82±0.1 7)×10 -3 mm2/s,and there was no significant difference between lesions and normal regions (t=1.766, P >0.05).Concomitant signs included barymastia,thickening of skin,edema surrounding the lesions,and axillary lymph node en-largement.The BI-RADS category was 3 degree in 1 (9.09%)case,4a degree in 5 (45.45%)cases,4b degree in 2 (18.18%)ca-ses,4c degree in 2 (18.18%)cases and 5 degree in 1 (9.09%)case.The misdiagnosis ratio was 54.55%.Conclusion Granuloma-tous mastitis has certain characteristic MR features.The misdiagnosis ratio of granulomatous mastitis is high.Therefore,clinical data should be referred when making diagnosis.
