RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Chaiqinchengqi decoction (CQCQD) on inositol requiring enzyme lα (IRElα) in alveolar macrophages (AMs) of the dog model of acute necrotising pancreatitis (ANP) induced by sodium taurocholate. METHODS: Fifteen beagle dogs were randomised into a control group, ANP group and CQCQD group (n = 5 per group). ANP was induced by a retrograde duct injection of 50 mg/kg of 5% sodium taurocholate. The dogs in the control group received injections of the same volume of saline as the sodium taurocholate. After the models were induced, the dogs in the CQCQD group were administered 10 mL/kg CQCQD every 2 h for 6 h. Two hours after the last administration of either CQCQD or saline, they were sacrificed by anaesthesia. AMs were collected to determine the IRElα and interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) mRNA and protein expression, and pancreatic tissues were collected for histopathology analysis. RESULTS: Compared with the ANP group, the mRNA and protein expression of IREl a and the protein expression of IL-1ß of AMs in the CQCQD group were significantly down-regulated, and the pancreatic histopathology score of the CQCQD group also was lower. There was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of IL-1ß of AMs between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The CQCQD-induced down-regulation of the IL-1ß protein expression may involve the down-regulation of the mRNA and protein expression of IRElα in AMs.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the third most common malignancy with a high recurrence and metastasis rate in South China. Natural compounds extracted from traditional Chinese herbal medicines have been developed and utilized for the treatment of a variety of cancers with modest properties and slight side effects. Maackiain (MA) is a type of flavonoid that was first isolated from leguminous plants, and it has been reported to relieve various nervous system disorders and exert anti-allergic as well as anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we demonstrated that MA inhibited proliferation, arrested cell cycle and induced apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE1 and CNE2 cells in vitro and in vivo. The expression of the related proteins associated with these processes were consistent with the above effects. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing and subsequent Western blot experiments revealed that inhibition of the MAPK/Ras pathway may be responsible to the anti-tumor effect of MA on NPC cells. Therefore, the effects of MA and an activator of this pathway, tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), alone or combination, were investigated. The results showed TBHQ neutralized the inhibitory effects of MA. These data suggest that MA exerts its anti-tumor effect by inhibiting the MAPK/Ras signaling pathway and it has the potential to become a treatment for patients with NPC.

It is often used in stomatology and other wound repair. Recently, some researchers try to use PRF in fat grafting. The aim of this review is to summarize PRF and its application in fat grafting.
RESUMEN
Peripheral nerve injury is a relatively common sequela of trauma. Nerve regeneration and target re-innervation are complex processes, and remain clinical challenges. For a long period of time, the placement of an autologous nerve graft is the gold standard. However, autologous nerve grafts are limited in supply due to its potentially associated with donor site morbidities. Therefore, researchers keep seeking the ideal alternatives for neural repair. The clinical application of artificial nerve regeneration conduit has made incremental advancement. Specifically, compound conduits are gaining more and more attention, which are reported to have comparable effect to autologous nerve graft. The purpose of this paper is to review the progress of construction and application of compound nerve conduits in peripheral nerve repair.

RESUMEN
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Severe acute pancreatitis can result in acute lung injury. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics and possible prediction index of acute lung injury in severe acute pancreatitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 184 patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted between April 2007 and July 2010. There were 51 patients who developed acute lung injury with a rate of 27.7% (51/184). Clinical data of the acute lung injury and non-acute lung injury patients were compared, and the characteristics of acute lung injury were also analyzed. Meanwhile, we validated a few possible prediction indexes to identify the patients at high risk for acute lung injury at the time of hospital admission. RESULTS: The severity index, hospital day, and the incidence of infectious complications were significantly higher in the acute lung injury patients than in the nonacute lung injury patients (p<0.05). The differences between the non-acute lung injury and acute lung injury groups in mortality (3% vs. 11.8%, p<0.05), operation (5.3% vs. 15.7%, p<0.05), and incidence of renal failure (15.8% vs. 33.3%, p<0.05), cardiovascular failure (3.8% vs. 15.7%, p<0.05), and pancreatic cyst (18% vs. 37.3%, p<0.05) were statistically significant. The patients with higher level of severity index score, acidosis, tachypnea, smoking history, and obesity were prone to develop acute lung injury. conclusion: Acute lung injury occurrence in patients with severe acute pancreatitis varies according to predisposing conditions and independently carries poor prognosis.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of Chaiqin Chengqi Decoction (CQCQD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on acinar cells and the changes of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) in acute pancreatitis (AP) rats. METHODS: CQCQ serum (CQCQS) was prepared by intragastric administration of CQCQD in SD rats, and AP was induced in SD rats by biliary-pancreatic duct ligation method. Pancreatic acinar cells were isolated by collagenase digestion and co-incubated with the drug serum containing CQCQD in vitro, then cell viability was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method and intracellular fluorescent intensity (FI) was observed and analyzed to investigate the changes of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). RESULTS: Both 5% and 10% CQCQS could improve the viability of pancreatic acinar cells in AP rats (P<0.05), and 10% CQCQS was more effective than 5% CQCQS (P<0.05). [Ca(2+)]i was elevated in AP rats (P<0.05), while the level of [Ca(2+)]i elevation was reduced after CQCQS treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CQCQD has a protective effect on pancreatic acinar cells of AP rats, which may be associated with its inhibition effect on intracellular calcium overload.
