ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To prepare quercetin-human serum albumin-nanoparticles （Que-HSA-NPs），and to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro inhibitory effects of Que-HSA-NPs on hepatic fibrosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis （NASH）. METHODS Que-HSA-NPs were prepared by desolvation-chemical cross-linking method ，their appearance characteristics were observed ，and their particle size ，polydispersity index （PDI），Zeta potential and drug loading were detected. Quercetin （Que）and Que-HSA-NPs were applied to murine HSC-T 6 cells. The effects of them on survival rate of HSC-T 6，mRNA expression of transforming growth factor β（TGF-β），Type Ⅰ collagen α1（COL1A1）and α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）were compared. Que and Que-HSA-NPs were applied to mice fed with low methionine and choline deficient high-fat diet. The serum levels of liver injury indexes ，liver pathological characteristics ，mRNA expressions of TGF-β，COL1A1 and α-SMA，protein expression of α-SMA in liver tissue were determined to evaluate the improvement effects of them on hepatic fibrosis of NASH in mice. RESULTS The prepared Que-HSA-NPs was spherical ，the particle size was （172.9±2.2）nm，the PDI was 0.233，the Zeta potential was －29.2 mV，and the drug loading was 2.99％. Que and Que-HSA-NPs were nontoxic to HSC-T 6 at concentrations of 0-250 μg/mL. Both of them could significantly decrease mRNA expressions of TGF-β，COL1A1 and α-SMA，especially Que-HSA-NPs （P＜0.05）. They also could significantly decrease the serum levels of liver inju ry index ，relieve liver injury and down-regulate mRNA expressions of TGF-β，COL1A1 and α-SMA and protein expression of α-SMA， especially Que-HSA-NPs （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Que- HSA-NPs is successfully prepared ，and confirm that its anti- NASH hepatic fibrosis effect is better than that of Que .
ABSTRACT
Objective To comparative analysze of the applications value of breast-conserving surgery and improved surgical in breast cancer patients.Methods One hundred and sixty-eight female breast cancer patients from February 2005 to October 2010 in the People's Hospital of Rizhaoour hospital were selected.The patients were divided into breast-conserving surgery group (n =80) and improved surgical group (n =88).The patients in two groups were followed-up and investigated for three years.Operative time,blood loss,postoperative drainage,postoperative drainage time and hospital stay,incidence of complications,local recurrence,distant metastasis and survival after 3 year,satisfaction ratio of breast cosmetology,psychological anxiety scores and quality of life scores after 3 years of the patients in two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The complication rate of breast-conserving surgery group was 12.50％ (10/80),lower than the improved surgical group,and the difference was significant statistically (29.55％ (26/88),x2 =7.23,P＜0.05).The operative time ((72.68±5.28) min),blood loss ((39.21 ± 8.59) ml),postoperative drainage ((162.25 ± 28.56) ml),postoperative drainage time((8.16±2.58) d) and the length of hospital stay((11.43±1.98) d) of the patients in breast-conserving surgery group were lower than those of the improved surgical group,and the differences of two groups were significant statistically ((92.48 ± 6.01) min,(68.26 ± 10.23) ml,(343.29 ± 62.18) ml,(16.59±4.96) d,(18.47±2.94) d;t =22.72,19.99,24.61,13.99,18.35;P＜0.05).The satisfaction rate after 3 years of breast-conserving surgery group was 92.50％(74/80),higher than that of the improved surgical group,and the difference was significant statistically (81.82％ (72/88),x2 =4.20,P＜ 0.05).The psychological anxiety scores after 2 and 3 years of breast-conserving surgery group were (40.02 ± 2.63) points and (34.26 ± 3.59) points,lower than those of improved surgical group((42.58±2.37) points and (39.85±2.10) points),the quality of life scores after 3 years of breast-conserving surgery group was (67.58± 11.26)points,higher than that of improved surgical group ((50.85 ± 10.42) points),and the differences were significant statistically (t =6.60,12.16,9.96;P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Breast-conserving surgery could reduce the incidence of complications and psychological anxiety situations,improve clinically relevant indicators and satisfaction ratio of breast cosmetology and quality of life for the breast cancer patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the refining and concentration of the Banlangen aqueous extractives using membrane separation technology. Methods The membrane separation process for refining and concentration Banlangen aqueous extractives was optimized by the quality of products and membrane operation parameters, and was tested through medium-scale trials. Results The selected G2+GM+RO2 membrane process was suitable. The inherent quality of the products obtained by membrane separation process was better than that obtained by traditional process. Conclusion G2+GM+RO2 membrane process is suitable to refine and concentrate Banlangen aqueous extractives, and it has technical conditions for industrial scale trials.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic-assisted small incision exploration and stone extraction for the treatment of common bile duct stones. Methods Following the laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the location of the common bile duct was determined under laparoscope. A small abdominal incision was made at the corresponding site and the exploration of common bile duct and extraction of stones were conducted via the incision. Results Among a total of 17 cases, the operation was successfully accomplished in 16 cases and a conversion to open surgery was required in 1 case. The operative time was 90～160 min (mean, 120 min). The number of extracted stones per case was 1～4, with the maximum size of 2.5 cm. All the stones were removed on one session. Postoperative cholangiography 3～4 weeks after the surgery indicated no residual stones. Follow-up for 8～36 months (mean, 14 months) showed no residual stones or occurrence of cholangitis. Conclusions Laparoscopic-assisted small incision exploration and stone extraction for common bile duct stones is feasible, being readily to popularize in basic hospitals.

0.05). The average SV of premature systoles is 35% of sinus beats. Premature systoles less than 5 beats/min may cause and average drop of 5% of cardiac output (CO), While the premature systoles increased to 10-20 beats/min, the CO would be dropped further of 10-19%. there Was a high linear correlation between sr of all premature systoles and the coupling interval premature systoles (p
ABSTRACT
The present study summarized the results of QTc. in 54 subjects, 8 of which were patients with coronary heart disease and 46 normal.The exercise tests were carried out on an ergometric bicycle with a submaximal exercise andQT interval was corrected for heart rate according to Bazett's formula (QTc=QT/R-R-). All patients were subjects to resting ECG before the test, during excerxise, and immediately fol owing the end of the exercise. Electrode jelly contact disk electrodes were used for the CMS. Results showed that coronary heart disease patients all had a prolongation of the QTc following exercise with variations of 0.06+0.02s The QTc of all normal subjects, except one, Showed a shortening or no ohange.Our study thus reveaded that the finding of QTc variations with exercise all of value for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
