ABSTRACT
Objective To analysis curative effect of triple therapy and sequential therapy for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with long-term aspirin use.Methods 52 patients with long-term aspirin use who were diagnosed with helicobacter pylori infection were collected.All patients were divided into sequential group and triple group according to different drugs classified, each 26 cases in each group were given corresponding drug treatment, after the end of treatment, the serum pepsinogen, Hp-IgG antibody levels and Helicobacter pylori clearance rate were detected in all patients. Results After treatment, compared with the triple Group, in the sequential group, the levels of serum PG I and PG II were lower, and PGⅠ/PGⅡwas higher, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);the serum Hp-IgG antibody levels were lower in the sequential group (P<0.05);the Hp clearance rate of patients in the sequential group was higher (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with triple therapy, sequential therapy can lower serum PG, PG II and Hp-IgG levels, and improve the Hp clearance rate and clinical efficacy, have guiding significance to clinical.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between plasma 5-HT and patients with sudden deafness and the pathogenesis in sudden deafness.Methods 46 inpatients with sudden deafness as patient group,and 34 healthy as control group.They were determined the plasma 5-HT concentration by immunoradiometric assay,then statistics analysis,and investigated negative life events in one week before admission.Results There is significant difference in 5-HT concentration between two groups.In patient group,35 cases(76%) had anxiety,depression emotion and sleep disorder before attack.Conclusions The high level of the plasma 5-HT concentration is probably one of the mechanisms in the patients of sudden deafness.Whether there is relationship between plasma 5-HT concentration and the degree and prognosis of sudden deafness needs to be further studied.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of gene therapy on the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line CNE-2 by using the combination of TRAIL gene with hTERT promoter. METHODS Total RNA was ex-tracted from PBL (peripheral blood lymphocytes)whose proliferation had been stimulated. TRAIL gene with interleukin 2 signal peptide gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the vector pGL3-181hTE down-stream to the RT promoter to form an eukaryotic vector. The vector was transfected into CNE-2 cells and HL-7702 cells through lipofection. Flow cytometry (FCM), agarose gel electrophoresis and cell morphology were used to examine the cell apoptosis. RESULTS In tranfected nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2, FCM analysis showed that apoptotic peak appeared before G1 phase. A ladder-like pattern of DNA fragmentation appeared upon agarose gel electrophoresis. Many cells exhibited apoptotic changes such as cell shrinkage , nulear condensation , and nuclear fragmenta-tion under transmission electron microscope (TEM). CONCLUSION The recombinant eukaryotic ex-pression vector for TRAIL gene driven by hTERT pro-moter was successfully constructed and shown to induced apoptosis in CNE-2 cells. The results suggest that TRAIL may be a promising target for gene therapy of NPC.
