Objective To investigate the change of inflammatory factor and blood coagulation in patients with laparo?scopic gastric cancer radical surgery. Methods Data of seventy-seven stomach cancer patients hospitalized in our hospital and received the surgical treatment from June 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-eight of these pa?tients underwent laparoscopic treatment (laparoscopic group) and 39 cases received laparotomy treatment (laparotomy group). The values of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were analyzed at the time points of preop?eration and 6 h, 24 h after the surgery in two groups. The levels of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), international standardization ration (INR), fibrinogen (FIB) and D dimer (D-D) were also analyzed at the same time points in two groups. The postoperative thrombosis and tumor recurrence rate were also analyzed in two groups of pa?tients. Results There were no significant differences in the gender, age, the size of tumor, differentiation degree and TNM staging between two groups of patients. The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-αwere significantly increased after surgery in two groups (P < 0.01), and which were significantly higher in laparotomy group than those of laparoscopic group (P<0.01). The levels of APTT, PT and INR were significantly lower after surgery in two groups of patients, and which were signifi?cantly lower in laparoscopic group than those of laparotomy group (P<0.05). The levels of FIB and D-D were significantly increased after operation in two groups of patients (P<0.05), which were significantly higher in laparoscopic group than those of laparotomy group (P<0.05). The postoperative recurrence of cancer was less in laparoscopic group than that of lapa?rotomy group. But, the postoperative thrombosis was more in laparoscopic group than that of laparotomy group. Conclusion There was less release of inflammatory mediators and less effect on the body’s immune function in patients with laparoscopic gastric cancer radical surgery. But, the surgery has a large influence in blood coagulation, we should pay attention to it in the clinical treatment.

LSAB immunohistochemistry and digoxin-labeled in situ hybridization methods were used to detect the expression of EGFR and TGF-a and the transcription of EGFR-mRNA in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissues. The expression rate of EGFR and TGF-α in 46 cases of human RCC tissues were significantly higher than that in 38 cases of corresponding autologous normal kidney tissues (EGFR.. 53. 4 % vs 21.0 %;TGF-α: 39. 1 /% vs 13. 2 %, P＜0. 05). Both EGFR and TGF-α were simultaneously overexpressed in some cases of RCC tissues. No relationship existed between EGFR or TGF-α and the RCC staging and grading. The positive rate of transcription EGFR-mRNA in 25 cases of RCC tissues was significantly higher than that in 20 cases of corresponding autologous normal kidney tissues (44 % vs 15 %, P＜0. 05). The above findings demonstrated that RCC tissues overexpressed EGFR and TGF-αand overtranscribed EGFR-mRNA. The overexpressed EGFR and TGF-α might contribute to the growth and development of RCC by taking part in the autocrine growth loop in RCC.

Objective To compare the oil yield of celery seeds and the contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and the total phthalocyanine lactones of celery seed oil extracted by different methods. Methods Three routine extraction methods involving organic solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, steam distillation extraction, as well as subcritical extraction method and supercritical fluid extraction method were used to extract the celery seed oil. The contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and total phthalocyanine lactones were respectively detected by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry. Results The ranges of oil yield and the contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and total phthalocyanine lactones of celery seed oil extracted by different methods were 0.30%-20.02%, 1.40%-10.13%, 4.74%-17.65%, respectively, indicating obvious differences. Conclusion With R134a and butane as the solvents, the subcritical extraction method is better than other extraction methods for the extraction of 3-n-butylphthalide. With dimethyl ether as the solvent, the subcritical extraction method is the best for the extraction of total phthalocyanine lactones.

Objective To investigate if pretreatment with repeated electroacupuncture (EA) at Baihui acupoint could increase HSP 70 expression after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods Twenty male SD rats weighing 280-320 g were randomly divided into 2 equal groups of ten : control group received no pretreatment and EA group received pretreatment with EA at Baihui acupoint 30 min a day for 5 days. The animals in both groups were anesthetized with isoflurane. Right common carotid artery (CCA) , external and internal carotid artery (EGA, 1C A) were exposed through a longitudinal incision in the neck. EGA was ligated and a 3-0 nylon monofilament (Ethicon) with rounded tip was inserted into ICA and threaded cephalad until resistance was felt. In this way middle-cerebral artery was occluded for 120 min in both groups. The nylon filament was then withdrawn to allow reperfusion. The animals were allowed to recover. At the end of 24 h reperfusion, the animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 40 mg?kg-1 and killed. Brain was immediately removed. Two pieces of brain tissue were obtained from right parietal lobe for microscopic examination (HE staining) and determination of expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 using immuno-histochemistry technique.Results In EA group the levels of HSP 70 expression were significantly increased (1.94?0.57) compared with those in control group (0.86?0.35) ( P

Objective To investigate the changes of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene expression in the hippocampus of rats following scald burn stress and the role of N methyl D aspartate (NMDA) receptor in this change. Methods Adult male Wistar rats inflicted with 30% TBSA full thickness scalding were applied as severe scalding stress model. GR mRNA levels in the hippocampus were detected with RT PCR. Results A significant decrease of GR mRNA levels was observed in the hippocampus 2 h after the scalding stress. The decrease could be inhibited when MK 801, an NMDA receptor antagonist, was administered prior to stress, and be augmented with the administration of NMDA, an NMDA receptor agonist, but not be affected by normal saline. Conclusion NMDA receptors are involved in the scalding stress induced down regulation of GR gene expression in the rat hippocampus.

Objective To investigate gene expressions of matrix metalloprotease (MMP-2, MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and RECK ( reversion inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs) in the liver tissue of rats with Vibrio vulnificus sepsis. Methods Vibrio vulnificus sepsis model was induced by injection of 1 mL/100 g Vibrio vulnificus (9 × 106 cfu/mL) at hind limbs in 50 Sprague-Dawley male rats of clean grade, each time 10 animals were sacrificed at 2, 6, 9, 12 and 16 h after injection and liver samples were taken. Ten rats served as control group. The ethological changes were observed. The total RNA was extracted from liver tissue and the gene expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2 and RECK were evaluated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results The rats manifested shortness of breath, fever and swelling in hind limbs at 4 h after injection of Vibrio vulnificus. These symptoms gradually deteriorated, and the rats presented cyanosis and convulsion at 12 h. The gene expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were markedly up-regulated, while those of TIMP-2 and RECK were down-regulated. Conclusion The study suggests that the elevation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and down-regulation of TIMP-2 and RECK is associated with the development of Vibrio vulnificus sepsis.
