The first-line chemotherapy with platinum-based regimens for 4 to 6 cycles is a standard care in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, for patients who got disease stabilization or maximal response after first line chemotherapy, how to choose safe and efficacy anticancer agents to extend first-line treatment and provide a better clinical benefit is deserving of more concerns currently. In this article,the clinical progress of the chemotherapy and molecular targeted agents as maintenance therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC is reviewed.

Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD)is a frequently diagnosed congenital heart malformation affecting the atrioventricular valves and septa. Heart transcription factors play fundamental roles in atrioventricular valves development and atrioventricular septa formation. Now cardiac transcription factors ( GATA4, NKX2. 5,TBX5 ,ZIC3)have been identified to involve in the pathogenesis of AVSD in humans. Their abnormal expression or function change may cause atrioventricular valve and septa developmental anomalies. Here we review advances in the understanding of the relationship between these transcription factors and AVSD.

By analyzing the current situation of TCM science popularization, We found that internet is serving as the most influential and rapid developing media at present. Therefore, a through excavation and utilization of internet as a tool for TCM science popularization will not only expand TCM science popularization platform, enhance mass foundation, promote mass understanding and recognition of TCM, but also meet the need of TCM self-development.

Objective To review and analyze the causes of infant malnutrition and its relation with the way of feed.Methods Infant malnutrition was analysed with the emphasis on pathogeny,the onset month of the birth, its complication and clinical reflection in 63 cases.Results Infant malnutrition occurred in the case with incorrect feeding way:feeding on low protein powdered milk or cereals untimely without considering the supplementary food. Malnutrition easily brought out other kinds of disease.Conclusion It is recommended that infants younger than 5 months should be fed on breast-milk.In case of no breast-milk or short,dairy products are introduced,especially in- fant formula,with adding supplementary food timely.If not so,infant malnutrition occurs.

Objective To simulate the blood flow features of the susceptible sites of atherosclerosis in vitro.The cell micro-patterning is to be obtained on the bottom of channel for the information about single cell or cell groups.Methods Poly-dimethylsiloxane(PDMS) flow channel and PDMS stamp were fabricated by soft lithography.Fibronectin pattern was formed on chamber bottom by micro-contact printing method and cells selectively attached on fibronectin pattern.Results The PDMS-patterned chamber that possessed favorable optical property and the PDMS stamps with different sizes were obtained.Cells attached on fibronectin pattern presented square array.Conclusion The fabricated methods are quick and simple.The chamber could be used for the advanced real-time investigation of cell mechanical behavior in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the distribution and regulation of uterine NK cells in mouse uterus during early pregnancy. Methods:Using a unique uNK cell marker,Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) lectin,to localize NK cells in uterus of normal pregnancy,delayed implantation and artificially induced decidualization. Results:DBA staining is mainly distributed in some vascular endothelial cells during embryo pre-implantation. In D5 of pregnancy after embryo implantation,NK cells were distributed in the stroma of uterine mesometrial pole,with round,immature and small lymphocyte-like cells. During D7 and D8 of pregnancy,the immunostaining results showed that uNK cells were increasingly accumulated in the mesometrial pole of implantation sites,with their morphology changing from small round cells with scattered cytoplasm to large and mature cells with heavy cytoplasmic granules. In the artificially induced decidualization model,the distribution and maturity of NK cells are similar to those of the normal pregnancy in the mouse uteri. Conclusion:The distribution and maturation of uterine NK cells are dependent of uterine decidualization in mouse early pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protecting and therapeutic effect of compound Zigui capsule on climacteric syndrome and the mechanism of the action in rats,so that it may provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment METHODS:The climacteric syndrome model was made by ovariectomy in rats and the effects of compound Zigui capsule on hemorheological parameters were observed RESULTS:Compound Zigui capsule could lower blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,blood reduced viscosity and red cell rigidity index It could also inhibit platelet adhesion CONCLUSION:Compound Zigui capsule has obvious preventive and therapeutic effects on rat's climacteric syndrome

OBJECTIVE:To prepare compound Zigui capsules METHODS:The capsules were prepared by taking placenta,Angelicae Sinensis and Peony as main components encapsulated with ?-cyclodextrin The content of paeoniflorin was determined by UV-spectrophotometry The linear range was 2～12?g/ml The average recovery was 99 95%(r=0 9 989)with a RSD of 1 43%(n=5) RESULTS & CONCLUSION:The formulation of compound Zigui capsules are rational,preparation technic being stable and the therapeutic effect on climacteric syndrome is satisfactory The quality control is simple,accurate and repeatable

Objective:To explore the relationship between pulse wave velocity(PWV)and blood pressure classification in patients with hypertension in pretherapy and posttherapy.Methods:Totally,183 patients with essential hypertension were recruited in the study and their brachial-ankle PWVs were recorded by an automatic arterial stiffness measurement device.PWVs were compared between patients with varied blood pressures in pretherapy and posttherapy.Results:There was significant diference in PWV between patients with pretherapy and posttherapy[(2 080?26)cm/s vs(1 604?32)cm/s,P

Objective:To construct recombinant bacille calmette-guerin (BCG) carrying murine interleukin-12 (mIL-12) genes,and to identify the ability of recombinant BCG for submitting plasmids to eukaryotic cells. Methods:Co-expression shuttle plasmid of pBM12, including mIL-12 gene and mycobacterial replicon of Orim,was built using molecular biological approach.The pBM12 was transfected to BCG competence by electroporation to construct recombinant BCG. The plasmid of recombinant BCG was extracted for PCR identification. The ability of submitting plasmids to eukaryotic cells was determined by RT-PCR. Results:The plasmid pBM12 may be transduced into BCG with electroporation. The specific bands for mIL-12 of the recombinant BCG were detected by PCR. The specific bands for 1632 bp mIL-12 were amplified from transfected macrophages after 96 hours byRT-PCR. Conclusion:The recombinant BCG carrying pBM12 was constructed successfully. The recombinant BCG can submit the carried genes to mice macrophages.
