This article evaluates the curative effect of intestinal sustenance of larygo-Carlinomactomee, the intestinal sustenance therapy has two stages. In the first stage (five days), patients are given nasal feeding liauid diet, takeing protein 44.7g, appropriate vitamin and ferralia every day, the total calorie is 1 631 large calories. In the second stage (eleven days), patients are given high caloric liguid diet, take in protein 65g, every day. The total caloric is 3 345 large calories. The result indicates: giving intestinal sustenance earlier has a good effect on laryngocarcinomactomee by improving the patients's immunity and accelerating the patients' early recover.

Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(01):-
A catalytic spectrophotometric method for determination of trace molybdenum by flow injection analysis has been established, based on the catalytic oxidation of potassium iodide by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of molybedenum (VI) and the iodine produced is coloured with starch. The linear range and detection limit for molybdenum (VI) were 0 to 0.4 ppm and 3.2 ppb. The method has been successfully applied to determine molybdenum in the grain, soil and hair.

Objective To detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)and its resistance against rifampin (RIF ) by applying Xpert MTB/RIF assay in the clinical samples from patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis,and to discuss the value of this assay in extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Methods Totally 300 clinical samples from the patients who were highly suspected with extrapulmonary tuberculosis and hospitalized in Department of Tuberculosis Section,Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center of Fudan University from May 2014 to May 2015 were collected.Smear and fluorescence staining microscopy,MGIT 960 BACTEC liquid culture,Xpert MTB/RIF assay were applied to detect MTB in these samples.Meanwhile,all the patients received the peripheral blood T-cell spot of tuberculosis test (T-SPOT.TB).The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay for MTB and its resistance against rifampin (RIF)in extrapulmonary tuberculosis samples were evaluated.The measurement data of two independent samples were analyzed by using t test and enumeration data were analyzed by usingχ2 test.Results Totally 282 out of 300 clinical samples from patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis were included in this study,and 62.7% were male with average age of (32.1 ±24.6 )years and 37.3%were female with average age of (37.8 ±21 .0)years.When MGIT 960 BACTEC liquid culture results were considered as standard diagnosis,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Xpert MTB/RIF assay were 53.8% (95 %CI :37.4%—69.6%),100.0% (95 %CI :86.3%—100.0%),100.0% (95 %CI :80.8%—100.0%)and 63.3% (95 %CI :48.3%—76.2%), respectively.The sensitivity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in smear-positive/culture-positive samples was 92.3% (95 %CI :62.1 %— 99.6%),while that in smear-negative/culture-positive samples was only 34.6% (95 %CI :17.9%— 55 .6%).Xpert MTB/RIF assay had advantage for detecting MTB in fine needle aspirates,pus,stool and urine,but not in serous effusion and cerebrospinal fluid.However,the sensitivities of MGIT BACTEC 960 liquid culture,fluorescence smear and T-SPOT.TB were 25 .8%, 21 .8% and 70.2%,respectively,and the specificities were 95 .5 %,90.3% and 51 .6%,respectively. The diagnostic value of Xpert MTB/RIF assay was not significantly different from those of MGIT BACTEC 960 liquid culture and fluorescence smear (χ2 =0.61 and 3.45 ,respectively;both P >0.05 ), while it was significantly different from T-SPOT.TB (χ2 =50.58,P <0.05).The sensitivity of T-SPOT. TB was significantly superior to Xpert MTB/RIF assay,but the specificity was relatively low.The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in RIF resistance detection were 71 .4% (95 %CI :30.3%—94.9%)and 100.0% (95 %CI :86.7%—100.0%),respectively.Conclusions The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in detecting MTB in fine needle aspirates,pus,stool and urine are relatively high,but not in serous effusion and cerebrospinal fluid.However,the pros of rapid detection and the ability of detecting RIF resistance are useful for the diagnose of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in clinical settings.

AIM:To investigate the effect of Sonic Hedgehog ( Shh) signaling blockade on the growth of hema-tocarcinoma cells and underlying mechanisms.METHODS: The expression of Shh signaling molecules in hematocarci-noma cell lines BEL-7402, Huh7 and HepG2 was detected by RT-PCR.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay.The cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Shh signaling molecules were all expressed in BEL-7402, Huh7 and HepG2 cells.The mRNA expression of Patched ( Ptch) , Gli1 and Gli2 was down-regulated by anti-Shh antibody.Blockade of Shh signaling pathway inhibited the proliferation of hepatocarcinoma cells with increasing cells in G0/G1 phase and induced the apoptosis of hepa-tocarcinoma cells.Treatment with anti-Shh antibody down-regulated the protein expression of pro-caspase-3, pro-caspase-8 and pro-caspase-9, while up-regulated the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-8 and cleaved caspase-9 in BEL-7402 cells.CONCLUSION:Blockade of Shh signaling pathway inhibits the growth of hepatocarcinoma at different levels by cell cycle arrest and inducing apoptosis of hematocarcinoma cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of cisplatin on the expression of calpain in mouse cochlear hair cells in vitro ,and to explore the mechanism of cisplatin-induced apoptosis in mouse cochlear hair cells .Meth‐ods A total of 600 cochlear basilar membranes isolated from Kunming mice at postnatal day 3 were cultured for 24 hours ,then randomly divided into control group and 3 cisplatin groups (4 μg/ml ,8 μg/ml and 16 μg/ml) .Each group contained 150 basilar membranes .Four groups were continually cultured for another 24 hours .Hoechst 33258 staining was used to detect the apoptosis of cochlear hair cell .Immunofluorescent staining and Western blot were carried out for detecting the expressions of calpain 1 (μ-calpain) and calpain 2 (m-calpain) in mouse cochlear hair cells .Results The percent of apoptotic hair cells in the three cisplatin groups (15 .63% ± 0 .20% ,38 .40% ± 2 .64% and 64 .24% ± 0 .05% ,respectively) was greater than that of in the control group (5 .55% ± 0 .12% ) , showing a clear dose-response relationship (P<0 .01) .Furthermore ,the expressions of μ -calpain and m -cal‐pain in different cisplatin groups were increased ,and m -calpain expression was great remarkably with increased concentration of cisplatin (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Our results suggest that cisplatin can induce the apoptosis in mouse cochlear hair cells by regulating calpain pathway .This may play a role in the cisplatin-induced ototoxicity .
