RESUMO

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Bushen Huoxuetang on the apoptosis and the expression of B-cell lymphoma (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax)/ Bcl-2 and cleaved cysteine-containing aspartate proteolytic enzyme-3 (cleaved Caspase-3) in the nude mouse model of bone metastasis of breast cancer, and explore the mechanism of Bushen Huoxuetang in inhibiting bone destruction. MethodThirty BALB/c female nude mice were randomly assigned into blank group (n=6) and model group (n=24). The suspension of 4T1 breast cancer cells was injected into the tibia of mouse right lower limb to establish model of bone metastasis of breast cancer. The successfully modeled nude mice were randomly assigned into model group, Bushen Huoxuetang group, zoledronic acid group, and combined drug group, with 6 mice in each group. Bushen Huoxuetang was administrated at a dose of 36.67 g·kg-1, once a day, and zoledronic acid was administrated by subcutaneous injection at a dose of 100 μg·kg-1, twice a week. The combined drug group was administrated with the same doses of Bushen Huoxuetang group by gavage and zoledronic acid by subcutaneous injection. The mice in the blank group and the model group were administrated with the same volume of distilled water by gavage for 14 days. On the next day at the end of drug administration, the mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The general situation and weight changes of the mice were examined. The right lower limb was collected, and X-ray scanning and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining methods were used for observation of pathological changes in the bone. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) was employed to detect the apoptosis of bone tissue in nude mice, and Western blot to determine the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved Caspase-3 in the bone tissue. ResultCompared with the blank group, the modeling reduced the body weight (P<0.01) and increased the right lower limb weight of the nude mice (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Bushen Huoxuetang, zoledronic acid, and their combination increased the body weight (P<0.01) and decreased the right lower limb weight (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the other groups showed obvious tumor cell atypia, deep nuclear staining, and clear bone metastasis, and the model group showed obvious osteolytic damage in right lower limb and loss of proximal tibia and knee joint. Compared with the model group, Bushen Huoxuetang, zoledronic acid, and their combination reduced the osteolytic lesions in the right lower limb and recovered part of the bone structure, demonstrating an inhibitory effect on bone destruction. The TUNEL assay showed that the model group had lower apoptosis rate of bone metastatic tumor cells than the blank group, Bushen Huoxuetang group, zoledronic acid group, and combined drug group (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the modeling down-regulated the expression of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 (P<0.01) and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Bushen Huoxuetang, zoledronic acid, and their combination up-regulated the expression of Bax (P<0.01) and cleaved Caspase-3 (P<0.05, P<0.01) and down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionBushen Huoxuetang may inhibit bone destruction in the nude mouse model of bone metastasis of breast cancer by up-regulating the expression of Bax, down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2, activating cleaved Caspase-3, and further inducing apoptosis.

RESUMO

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of Shipiyin combined with diosmin in the treatment of lymphedema with spleen Yang deficiency syndrome(SYDS)after modified radical mastectomy and the specific effect on the function of the affected limb. MethodEighty-two patients with lymphedema with SYDS after modified radical mastectomy from outpatient and inpatient department of breast department and oncology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into an observation group(41 cases) and a control group(41 cases). The control group was given diosmin tablets(0.9 g per time, two times per day)on the basis of conventional treatment,and the observation group was given Shipiyin(one dose per day)on the basis of the control group. The course of treatment was 14 days. The clinical symptoms were observed and the limb circumference,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome score,functional assessment of cancer therapy-breast cancer(FACT-B) score,disability of arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire(DASH) score,and joint range of motion were measured to analyze the TCM syndrome therapeutic effect and clinical efficacy. ResultAfter 14 days of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 85.37% (35/41) and that of the control group was 63.41% (26/41) in the TCM symptoms, showing a statistically significant difference (Z=-2.212, P<0.05). In terms of the clinical efficacy, the total effective rate in the observation group was 82.93% (34/41) and that in the control group was 75.61% (31/41), indicating a statistically significant difference (Z=-2.061, P<0.05). Compared with the situations before treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms such as the swelling of the upper limb, pain, sense of heaviness, stuffiness, fatigue, fullness, tightness, and skin keratosis and pruritus in the two groups were significantly lowered (P<0.01) after treatment. Compared with the control group, the observation group could better improve the swelling and fullness(P<0.01),as well as the feeling of pain,heaviness,stuffiness,fatigue,tightness,skin keratosis and pruritus (P<0.05)of the upper limbs of patients. The affected limb circumference, TCM syndrome score, and DASH score decreased significantly, while the FACT-B score and upper limb joint range of motion increased significantly in the two groups after treatment (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly reduced limb circumference at 10 cm proximal to the elbow striae, lowered TCM syndrome score, elevated FACT-B score(P<0.05), decreased DASH score and improved range of motion of the upper limb joint (P<0.01) after treatment. ConclusionShipiyin combined with diosmin has better clinical efficacy in the treatment of lymphedema with SYDS after modified radical mastectomy than diosmin alone,which can better improve the clinical symptoms,signs,quality of life and limb functional activity of patients. This provides a new clinical program for the treatment of lymphedema after breast cancer surgery with integrated Chinese and western medicine.

RESUMO

To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and plasma cell mastitis (PCM) , and to improve diagnostic accuracy for DCIS and PCM. 
 Methods: The MRI morphology confirmed by surgical pathology and dynamic enhancement for 35 patients with DCIS and 45 patients with PCM were retrospectively analyzed, which included T1 pre-scan high signal, enhanced distribution characteristics, internal strengthening mode, whether centrifugation or centripetal diffusion, dynamic enhancement curve morphology, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signal characteristics, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. 
 Results: The segmental distribution, clustered ring, T1 pre-catheters diffusion and the dynamic delayed concentric diffusion were more common in DCIS than those in PCM (P<0.05). Regional distribution, internal heterogeneity enhancement, and enhanced delay period eccentric diffusion were more common in PCM than those in DCIS (P<0.05). In the PCM group, nipple repertoire, DWI center high signal, adjacent skin thickening, and sinus formation were significantly higher than those in the DCIS group (P<0.05).
 Conclusion: Both DCIS and PCM show a non-mass like enhancement on MRI. Images in DCIS mostly show duct-like, branch-like and segment-like distribution. The internal enhancement mode is centripetal diffusion. Images in PCM mostly show regional distribution, and the inside displays heterogeneity enhancement with the adjacent skin thickening and nipple subsided.

RESUMO

Objective To understand variation of weight for age Z scores in premature infants with extrauterine growth restriction(EUGR).Methods Retrospective analysis was adopted with the data of very -low -gestational age (VLGA)preterm infants who met with the following criteria:admitted to Neonatal Medical Center of Huai′an Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital from January 201 1 to December 201 3,gestational age <32 weeks,more than 4 weeks of hospital stay and survived when discharged.All VLGA premature infants were divided into non -EUGR group and EUGR group according to whether the standard weight on hospital discharge was below the 1 0th percentile of body weight at corrected age.The weight for age Z scores of preterm infants were calculated at each time point.The differences and trends between 2 groups were compared.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve in diagnosing EUGR by weight for age Z scores was drawn.Results A total of 1 77 VLGA premature infants were enrolled,and among them there were was 1 04 cases of EUGR and the incidence amounted to 58.8%.The weight for age Z scores curve of EUGR group was under that of all preterm infants,and the curve of non -EUGR group was above that of all preterm infants. The weight for age Z scores of all preterm infants and EUGR group showed overall downward trend along with prolonged hospitalization.However,the weight for age Z scores of non -EUGR group did not change significantly at each week point except for the first week.The weight for age Z scores of EUGR group was lower than that of non -EUGR group at birth (-0.84 ±0.39 vs -0.31 ±0.41 ),the first week after birth (-1 .1 9 ±0.36 vs -0.74 ±0.40),the second week after birth (-1 .1 7 ±0.36 vs -0.68 ±0.40),the third week after birth (-1 .23 ±0.34 vs -0.64 ±0.39),the fourth week after birth (-1 .35 ±0.41 vs -0.65 ±0.42),the fifth week after birth (-1 .45 ±0.41 vs -0.56 ± 0.38),the sixth week (-1 .54 ±0.49 vs -0.70 ±0.36)and on discharge time (-1 .72 ±0.38 vs -0.67 ±0.42). The difference at each week point was statistically significant (all P =0.000).The weight for age Z scores on discharge were negatively correlated with start time of enteral feeding in preterm infants (r =-0.271 ,P <0.05),time of paren-teral nutrition up to 41 8 kJ/(kg·d)(r =-0.388,P <0.05),time of full enteral feeding (r =-0.332,P <0.05),a-mino cumulative dose (r =-0.298,P <0.05)and fat milk cumulative dose (r =-2.221 ,P <0.05).Area under the curve at each week point of the weight for age Z scores predicting the EUGR gradually increased along with prolonged hospitalization.There was a statistical significance in the weight for age Z scores value at each week point on the diagno-sis of EUGR(P =0.000).There was a high sensitivity and specificity at each week point.Conclusions Dynamic mo-nitoring weight of age Z scores of the premature infants can show the nutrition and growth trend,and may be a risk warning of the preterm infants suffering from EUGR.

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the effect of lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygenation and outcomes in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) ventilated by proportional assist ventilation (PAV).</p><p><b>METHOD</b>From January 2012 to June 2013, thirty neonates with a diagnosis of RDS who required mechanical ventilation were divided randomly into LRM group (n=15, received an LRM and surport by PAV) and control group (n=15, only surport by PAV). There were no statistically significant differences in female (7 vs. 6); gestational age [(29.3±1.2) vs. (29.5±1.1) weeks]; body weight[(1,319±97) vs. (1,295±85) g]; Silverman Anderson(SA) score for babies at start of ventilation (7.3±1.2 vs. 6.9±1.4); initial FiO2 (0.54±0.12 vs. 0.50±0.10) between the two groups (all P>0.05). LRM entailed increments of 0.2 cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) PEEP every 5 minutes, until fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)=0.25. Then PEEP was reduced and the lung volume was set on the deflation limb of the pressure/volume curve.When saturation of peripheral oxygen fell and FiO2 rose, we reincremented PEEP until SpO2 became stable. The related clinical indicators of the two group were observed.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The doses of surfactant administered (1.1±0.3 vs. 1.5±0.5, P=0.027), Lowest FiO2 (0.29±0.05 vs. 0.39±0.06, P=0.000), time to lowest FiO2[ (103±18) vs. (368±138) min, P=0.000] and O2 dependency [(7.6±1.0) vs.( 8.8±1.3) days, P=0.021] in LRM group were lower than that in control group (all P<0.05). The maximum PEEP during the first 12 hours of life [(8.4±0.8) vs. (6.8±0.8) cmH2O, P=0.000] in LRM group were higher than that in control group (P<0.05). FiO2 levels progressively decreased (F=35.681, P=0.000) and a/AO2 Gradually increased (F=37.654, P=0.000). No adverse events and no significant differences in the outcomes were observed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>LRM can reduce the doses of pulmonary surfactant administered, time of the respiratory support and the oxygen therapy in preterm children with RDS.</p>

RESUMO

Objective To compare the high risk factors, complications, treatment and prognosis of respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in neonates at different gestational age (GA). Methods Between August 2012 and July 2013, 156 neonates with RDS were selected and distributed into 3 groups, 42 early preterm (GA<34weeks), 52 late preterm (GA 35 to 36 weeks), and 62 in term group (GA≥37 weeks). Retrospectively analysis was performed for high risk factors, complications, treatment and prognosis of the three groups. Results In 156 neonates with RDS, the male and female proportion was 2.25:1. All groups had more males, but the gender difference has no statistical signiifcance in three groups (P=0.923). The onset time of RDS and the hospitalization time both show an increasing trend of statistical signiifcance (P<0.05). Comparing the difference of high risk factors for RDS of the 3 groups, birth asphyxia, placental abnormalities, multiple pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes was most common in early preterm group, and followed by late preterm group, and C-section was most common in term group and unexplained preterm was more common in early preterm group than that in late preterm group (all P<0.05). Among the three groups, the ratio of pulmonary surfactant application was the lowest in the term group, the ratio of X-ray grade over II was high-est in early preterm group, oxygen and hospitalization time were the longest in early preterm group (P<0.05). The risks of com-plicated with pulmonary infection, intracranial hemorrhages and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were the highest in early preterm group and the risk of complicated pneumothorax was the highest in term group. Among three groups, the recovery rate was the lowest in the early preterm group (P<0.01). Conclusion The clinical characteristics, high risk factors, complications and treat-ment responses of RDS in neonates with different GA were different, so GA should be considered for diagnose and treatment. For the term infants, the elective caesarean section should be strictly controlled, in order to reduce the incidence of RDS.

RESUMO

Objective To screen the factors that can affect α-toxin expression of CA-MRSA except for quorum-sensing system and to investigate the regulative mechanism of the interesting genes. Methods S. aureus CA-MRSA transposon mutagenesis library was constructed by using mariner based transposon mutagenesis system. The clones with significantly changed level of hemolysis were selected, the location of erm insertion in a gene was confirmed by arbitrary primed (inverse) PCR and nucleotide sequence. Genetic complementation, mice bacteremia and skin abscess models and real time RT-PCR were used to study the function of the interesting gene. Results Twenty-five mutants with down-expression of α-toxin were selected by screening about 104 isolates of transposon mutagenesis library. The hemolytic diameter of CA-MRSA wild type was about 212 mm, no clear hemolysis was found in AraC-, The hemolytic diameter of AraC-pT181 araC was about 197 mm. Real time RT-PCR results showed that compared to the expression of the virulence factors in CA-MRSA wild type( PSMα 257. 30 ±37. 33 ;agr 115. 60 ±0. 81 and α-toxin 3.23 ±0. 21), in AraC-, α-toxin, PSMα and agr were significantly down regulated(α-toxin 1.09 ±0.01 :t = 10. 18, P <0.01 ;PSMα 34.85 ±2. 15:t=5.95,P<0.05;agr35. 19 ±1. 72:t =42. 33, P<0. 01). The result of mice bacteremia model showed that the virulence of wild type and AraC- ( (x) ± s ) were significantly different (x2 = 21. 34, P < 0.01). The expression of PSMα, agr and α-toxin in AraC-pT181araC ( PSMa 180.10 ± 15.29;agr 101. 50 ±8. 96;α-toxin 2.59 ±0.26) had no significant difference compared to the expression of the virulent factors in CA-MRSA wild type (PSMα: t =1.914, P>0.05;agr:t= 1.563, P>0.05;α-toxm: t = 1. 923, P > 0. 05 ). There were no significant difference of the expression of ClpP in AraC-(0. 21 ±0.01) and in AraC-pT181araC(0.17 ±0.03)compared to the expression of ClpP in CA-MRSA wild type (0. 20 ± 0.01) (t=0.555, P>0.05 and t=0. 851, P>0.05). The result of mice skin abscess model showed that the dermonecrosis area caused by CA-MRSA was (136. 5 ±21.45) mm2, the dermonecrosis area caused by AraC- was (55. 69 ± 13. 81) mm2, the different was significant (t = 3.169, P < 0. 05). Conclusion In CA-MRSA, AraC-type transcriptional regulator controlled the pathogenesis of CA-MRSA by regulating the expression of the most important virulence factors such as hla, PSMα and agr.
