Objective To observe the inhibition of different concentrations of curcumin on cell growth,and explore the molecular mechanism of curcumin on human osteosarcoma.Methods Curcumin of different concentrations(0,10,20 and 40?mol/L) was administered to U-2OS cells of human osteosarcoma for 12h,24h and 48h,respectively.The proliferation of U-2OS cells was measured by MTT assay.Results Curcumin significantly inhibited the proliferation of PC-3 cells in vitro in concentration-and time-dependent manners.The higher the concentration of curcumin,the stronger the inhibition was(10?mol/L,20?mol/L,40?mol/L of r=-0.9638,-0.9778 and-0.9764,respectively,P

Objective To investigate the hypothesis that food allergy in infants may be associated with variation in their intestinal microflora. The formation of intestinal microflora in healthy infants and changes in food allergic infants were detected.Methods 16S rRNA gene sequences specific for bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and escherichia coli in fecal were quantitatively detected by real-time PCR. The three fecal floras were assessed in 71 healthy infants and 100 infants with food allergy. Results After birth,there were bifidobacteria colonized in infantile intestine,then the number increased rapidly up to 5 times at the sixth month, which was always the preponderant flora. Lactobacilli was also presented in infantile intestine 1 month after birth and augment gradually. The number of Escherichia coli was less than bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and appeared to decline during the early infants. The number of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the infants with food allergy were markedly less than that in the healthy infants, but escherichia coli was significantly more than that in the healthy infants.Conclusions During the first year of life,the intestinal microflora in infants is in a developing process. Compared with the healthy infants,bifidobacteria and lactobacilli decrease, but escherichia coli increase in the food allergic infants.These results indicate that the probiotics may be benefit to the prevention and treatment of food allergy.

Objective To investigate the effect of indwelling double-J ureteral stents before flexible ureteroscope lithotrity in terms of operation time, postoperative hospitalization time and operation effect. Methods All clinical data of flexible ureteroscope lithotrity from 2009 to 2013 were reviewed. Operation time, postoperative hospitalization time and recurrence rate of calculus of patients who received operation directly and patients who received indwelling of double-J ureteral stents 2 weeks before operation were observed and compared. Results Op-eration time, postoperative hospitalization time, and recurrence rate of calculus of patients who received indwelling of double-J ureteral stents 2 weeks before receiving operation were obviously lower than patients who received operation directly. Conclusion Operation time, postoper-ative hospitalization time and recurrence rate of calculus can be decreased by indwelling double-J ureteral stents 2 weeks before operation.

Stereotactic radiotherapy is a rapidly growing treatment strategy for tumor due to the advances in target definition,radiation dose delivery,and image guidance of radiation.We reviewed the clinical application of stereotactic radiotherapy in the management of early stage non-small cell lung cancer including the technique,the workflow of the technique established,the outcome and relative radiation toxicity.

Mind map is an effective and intuitive knowledge organization and presentation tool which can help computer teaching commendably. We can use Mind Map to design and organize the whole teaching process, including preparing, designing, guiding, analyzing and reviewing. This way can turns tedious logic of computer teaching into imagery thinking and helps medical students improv-ing their learning effect of computer courses.

Objective To study the gene mutation characteristics of patients with spinocerebellar ataxias(SCA) in Ningxia region.Methods The SCA3/Machado-Joseph disease(MJD)trinucleotide CAG repeat number was detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),capillary gel electrophoresis(CGE) and DNA sequencing in 6 patients with SCAs and 4 normal kindreds from a family in Ningxia region.Results All patients and 1 kindred were positive for SCA3/MJD;other 3 kindreds were negative for SCA3/MJD.The CAG repeat number was expanded to 66～81 in the patients with SCA3/MJD and a kindred,and 22～33 in other 3 kindreds.Conclusion There is SCA3/MJD in the patients with SCAs of Ningxia region.Gene examining has the great significance for definite diagnosis in the patients with SCAs.

A 11-year-old child diagnosed as chronic tonsillitis and adenoid hypertrophy underwent adeno-tonsillectomy under general anesthesia. After surgery, patient complained with abdominal discomfort, paleness and vomiting, which presented as the old black contents. Complete blood count showed: 45.2 g/L, hemoglobin of red blood cells 2.57 x 10(12)/L, An emergency gastroscopy confirmed gastric ulcer with hemorrage. Hemorrage was controlled and complete blood count results restored to normal after supportive therapy. Gastric ulcer completely recovered two weeks after discharge.

AIM: By comparing the aspheric and multifocal Toric intraocular lens and the aspheric intraocular lens in cataract patients,to observe the patients` visual quality,to evaluate the patients` distance visual acuity,near visual acuity,Pseudo-accommodative power,residual astigmatism,the rotational stability of AcrySof IQ Toric Restor intraocular lens (IOLs),contrast the rate of off-distance glass,the rate of off-near glass and patient satisfaction after the implantation of AcrySof IQ Toric Restor IOL in the cataract patients with preexisting corneal astigmatism.METHODS:Carried out in 46 patients (48 eyes) with age-rated cataract who receiving phacoemulsification and implantation of artificial lens in our department during February 2014 to June 2016.All the cases were randomly divided into 2 groups: experimental group: 23 cases (24 eyes),AcrySof IQ ReSTOR Toric IOL was implanted after phacoemulsification;control group: 23 cases (24 eyes),AcrySof IQ was implanted.Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) and best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA),uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) and best-corrected near visual acuity(BCNVA),Pseudo-accommodative power,residual astigmatism,preoperative and postoperative corneal astigmatism,the rate of off-distance glass,the rate of off-near glass and patient satisfaction were measured at 6mo postoperatively follow-up.RESULTS: BCDVA and BCNVA were not statistically different between the two groups(P<0.05).At 1wk,1,3 and 6mo postoperatively of UCDVA the experimental group were statistically better than the control group (P<0.05).UCNVA were also statistically better than the control group (P<0.05).The mean residual astigmatisms 1wk,1,3 and 6mo postoperatively were statistically differences between the control group and experimental group (P<0.05).At 6mo postoperatively,patients satisfaction of experimental group were significantly better than control group (P<0.05).Spectacles independence for near vision achieved 83% and 17% in experimental group and control group,experimental group were statistically better than control group(P<0.05).Spectacles independence for distance vision achieved 92% and 67% in experimental group and control group,experimental group were statistically better than control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The results indicate that AcrySof IQ ReSTOR Toric IOLs may provide a better uncorrected distance visual acuity and uncorrected near visual acuity,which can significantly reduce preexisting corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery,improve spectacles independence for distance vision and spectacles independence for near vision,have a high patient satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the effect of multiple treatments on cystospasm after transurethral resection of prostate(TURP). Methods From 2006 to 2013, 663 patients who had received TURP for BPH were civided into 6 groups:2 were treated by kieselgel or lac-toprene urethral catheter,defined as catheter observe group. 2 were treated by warmed or ordinary temperature douche,defined as temperature observe group. 2 were treated by dicaine mixed or normal douche,defined as mixed douche observe group. The incidence rates and duration of cystospasm and visual analogue scores of pain were observed and the diversities were measured by statistics within each pair groups. Results The incidence rates and duration of cystospasm and visual analogue scores of pain of groups treated by kieselgel urethral catheter,warmed douche and dicaine mixed douche were obviously lower than the groups treated by lactoprene urethral catheter,ordinary temperature douche and normal douche. The kieselgel urethral catheter and warmed douche decreasing the irritation on mucous membrane of bladder,the dicaine decreasing the sensibility of bladder nerves may be the mechanism. Conclusion The incidence rates and duration of cystospasm and visual analogue scores of pain can be obviously decreased by treatments of kieselgel urethral catheter,warmed douche and dicaine mixed douche.
