Objective To study the clinical features of cardiac arrest patients and the influence factors of effective resuscitation. Methods The clinical data of 76 patients in our hospital who underwent cardiac arrest and resuscitation were analyzed retrospectively. Results The effective resuscitation were observed in forty-seven patients (47/76, 61.8%), 28 patients completely survived(28/76,36.8%), and the total death rate was 63.2%. The successful rate of resuscitation was positive relation to the starting time of resuscitation, the way of cardiac arrest, and the structure and function of heart, but was negative relation to the times of cardioversion. The successful rate of resuscitation had indefinite relation with the patients age and gender. Conclusion The immediate cardioversion was the key factor of successful resuscitation.The successful resuscitation was dependent on the continuous and effective cardio-press. Basical cardio-disease was the major factor affecting prognosis.

Objective　To investigate genes involved in cancer metastasis, mRNA differential display was used to compare the levels of gene expression in two cell sublines derived from human giant cell carcinoma of lung (PG) which had different metastatic potentials. Methods　Using in vivo tumorigenicity and a spontaneous metastasis assay in nude mice, two sublines (BE1, LH7) from human giant cell carcinoma of lung (PG) with different metastatic potentials were isolated and characterized. mRNA differential display was used to compare the levels of gene expression between them and the obtained results were confirmed by Northern hybridization. Results　One differentially expressed band was nearly identical (99% homology) to Ras-GTPase-Activating protein SH3 domain binding protein (G3BP). G3BP displayed a strong expression in LH7 (non-metastatic in recipient nude mice) and a very weak expression in BE1 (100% metastatic frequency). The same different expression level of G3BP was detected in Northern hybridization with another panel of cell sublines with different metastatic potentials (established in our lab) derived from human prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3M. Conclusion　Our results indicate that G3BP was implicated in cancer metastasis because of its differential expressions in the two panels of cell sublines with different metastatic potentials.
