[Clinical observation of rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease patients and changes of serum cytokines thereof].
To observe the clinical feature of rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) patients and changes of serum cytokines tumor growth factor (TGF)-beta 1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1, and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB. ⋯ The symptoms and signs of the RA-ILD patients are more serious, the lung HRCT changes more obvious, lung function decreases, and the levels of TGF-beta 1, TNF-alpha, IGF-1, and PDGF-AB increase.

[Effect of sevoflurane postconditioning on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury via the release of oxygen free radicals in rabbits].
To investigate whether postconditioning with sevoflurane could alleviate spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury in rabbits, and whether the beneficial effect is dependent on oxygen free radicals. ⋯ Our study demonstrates that sevoflurane postconditioning against spinal cord ischemia injury via the release of oxygen free radicals in rabbits.

[The role of gap-junction in suspended animation for hemorrhagic shock with brain injury: experiment with rats].
To investigate the role of gap-junction in suspended animation for hemorrhagic shock with brain injury. ⋯ Both hypothermy resuscitation and carbenoxolone resuscitation protect the brain of cerebral ischemia on hemorrhagic shock with brain injury, and suggest that Gap junctions play an important role in suspended animation to treat hemorrhagic shock with brain injury.

[Epimedium-derived flavonoids prevent ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in rats independent of its enhancement in intestinal calcium absorption].
To test our hypothesis whether a group of flavonoids (FE) derived from herbal Epimedium exerted its prevention of estrogen-deficiency-induced osteoporosis mainly through an enhancement in intestinal calcium absorption. ⋯ Independent of intestinal calcium absorption, FE inhibited bone resorption, stimulated bone formation and accordingly prevented osteoporosis without hyperplastic effect on uterus in the OVX rat model.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Effect of a novel analgesic disposable urinary catheter in prevention of restlessness caused by catheter-related bladder discomfort in general anesthesia patients in recovery period].
To investigate the effect of a novel analgesic disposable urinary catheter invented by the authors in prevention of restlessness caused by catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) in general anesthesia patients in anesthesia recovery period. ⋯ The catheter inserting after the induction of anesthesia is an element related to the restlessness in anesthesia recovery period and other serious postoperative complications. The novel analgesic disposable urinary catheter effectively prevents CRBD-caused restlessness in general anesthesia patients in the anesthesia recovery period.
