Conformal radiotherapy is an important therapeutic strategy for primary hepatic carcinoma,which has high local control rate.However,the frequency of intra- and extra-hepatic recurrences is very high.Sorafenib is the only drug that has been demonstrated effectiveness to increase overall survival in advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.The combination about radiotherapy and sorafenib can increase the radiosensitiveness,and inhibit the angiogenesis,and relieve the hypoxia,as well as synchronize the cell cycle.A lot of biological studies of sorafenib combined with radiotherapy have been camied out,and the phase Ⅰ -Ⅱ clinical trials are is in progress.

The concept of cause in TCM is different from the etiology concept in modern TCM. In modern TCM,the etiology is equal to pathogenic factors.At present,the significance of 'pathogenic factors'in TCM was affected by modern TCM,and this description can't show the essence of TCM theory and is not conducive to the development of cause theory of TCM.

Objective: To discuss the feasibility of immune tolerance in rat small bowel trans-plantation induced by immature dendritic cells isolated from SD and Wistar rat. Methods: Dendritic cells isolated from liver or bone marrow of inbred strain Wistar and SD rat were cultured for five to nine days. A week before operation, the recipient rats were injected 2?106 inmature DCs from vena dorsalis penis and observed. The models of heterotopic small bowel transplantation (SBT: SD→ Wistar)were established. Acute immuno- rejection levels were evaluated by HE. Results: Varying degrees of rejection were observed in 3, 5, 7 days after operation. Conclusion: Immature DC can induce allogenic immunological tolerance of rat small bowel transplantation.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of total flavone of haw-thorn leaf ( TFHL) on p38MAPK signaling pathway and inflammation factors in rats brain with chronic cere-bral ischemia.Methods SPF class healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group,TFHL group and Ginkgo leaf group( 12 rats in each group) .Permanent bilateral carotid artery ligation was used to prepare chronic cerebral ischemia model.Morris water maze method was used to evaluate learn-ing and memory abilities of rats.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot methods were used to measure the expression of caspase-3 and p38MAPK proteins.ELISA method was used to measure the amounts of TNF-αand IL-1βin hippocampal tissue.Results Compared with the model group,TFHL treatment (36 d) can im-prove learning and memory capabilities of vascular dementia rats,shorten the escape latency ( TFHL group(10.01±2.85) s vs Model group (19.54±6.12) s, P<0.05) and the course of searching platform(TFHL group(2.6044±0.3219)m vs model group(3.3502±0.6231)m, P<0.05),increase the numbers of crossing the platform (TFHL group(5.17±2.12) times vs Model group (3.96±1.34) time,s P<0.05) and the platform quadrant swimming distance percentage (TFHL group(48.22±7.39)%vs model group (33.42±5.32) %, P<0.01).The number of caspase-3 positive cells in the hippocampus significantly reduced (TFHL group(1.677 ±0.164) vs Model group (2.387±0.171), P<0.05),the expression level of P38MAPK protein (TFHL group (0.0161±0.0003) vs Model group (0.0254±0.0018), P<0.05),TNF-α(TFHL group(19.61±3.61) ng/10 mg vs Model group (27.82±6.57) ng/10 mg, P<0.01)and IL-1β(TFHL group(24.41±2.56) ng/10 mg vs Model group (29.43±5.26) ng/10 mg, P<0.05) were significantly decreased.Conclusion TFHL plays a protective role in nerve function of the chronic cerebral ischemia rats.The mechanism of its antia-poptosis might be associated with the activation of P 38MAPK signaling pathway,inflammation and the apoptosis of neurons in the brain.

Esthesioneuroblastoma is one of the most uncommon nasal malignancies which is characterized by low incidence and high misdiagnosis rate.The only prognosis factor is the metastasis on lymph node of neck.Its clinical symptoms are associated with tumor infiltrating extent.Pathological diagnosis is the “gold standard” on esthesioneuroblastoma,and the Kadish staging based on the image is the most important staging standard.The traditional operation therapy mode has been replaced by the combined method of operation and radiotherapy,with the adjunctive therapy of chemotherapy.

Objective To introduce a new design of interlocking system which is easy in use, makes the distal fracture fragments well aligned and rigidly fixated, reduces exposure to radiation for the surgeon and patient, and allows for a decrease in operating time. Methods The new interlocking system was designed to be a self-locking nail with bevels (b-SLN). According to the bevel principle, the axial force of the nail should be turned into a transverse force so as to control the transverse nail's movement. 10 dry-bone simples were made into the fracture model of the middle-femur to test the prototype nail. The retention of the nail in the intramedullary cavity was evaluated by the radiogram. The mechanical properties of a simulated model of single leg loading were tested on the instron-1342 type MTS. Results The prototype nail performed well as designed. The process was stable and reliable. The retention in the intramedullary cavity was fine. The shearing force between the transverse nail and main nail was enough to cut anything around them. The mechanical properties of b-SLN were similar to those of the Grosse-Kempf nail, better than auto fork compress locked intramedullary nail, and much better than MHUA nail and Ender's nail. Conclusions The structure of b-SLN is simple and reliable. There is no focus-point under stress. Its biomechanic properties are satisfactory. It is easy to use with no need of fluoroscopes in the operating theatre.

Objective To explore the influence of 8-week aerobic exercise in heart rate variability (HRV)in obese adolescents and to provide the evidence for formulating special exercise prescription.Methods Forty male obese adolescents (BMI≥25 kg·m-2 )were randomly divided into exercise group (n=20)and control group (n=20). The subjects in exercise group conducted a 8-week (five times/week,50-60 min)aerobic exercise while those in control group maintained their routine lifestyle. The body composition, hemodynamic parameters including heart rate(HR)and blood pressure and HRV parameters including total power (TP),normalized low frequency (LFn), normalized high frequency (HFn)and LFn/HFn ratio were measured before and after experiment.Results There were no significant differences of the indicators of the subjects between two groups before experiment (P>0.05). At the end of experiment,compared before experiment,the fat mass(FM),the percentage of body fat(BF%), the rest HR,SBP and DBP were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the TP and HFn were increased(P<0.01);the LFn and LFn/HFn ratio were reduced (P<0.01)in exercise group after experiment;but the indexes of the subjects in control group showed no significant changes (P>0.05).Compared control group,the FM,the BF%, the rest HR,SBP,DBP,LFn and LFn/HFn ratio were decreased while the TP and HFn were increased (P<0.01)in exercise group after experiment.Conclusion Aerobic exercise may effectively reduce the sympathetic activity and increase the vagal tone in the obese adolescents.

Objective:To explore the inflammatory responses of macrophages treated with Helicobacter pylori. Methods:Cytokines IL-23,IL-10,TNF-α and IL-8 in cell culture supernatant of macrophages stimulated with Helicobacter pylori were determined by ELISA kits,and the expression of intracellular proteins NOS2 and COX2 in Helicobacter pylori treated macrophages was analyzed by Western blot. Then,the apoptosis of Helicobacter pylori stimulated macrophages was detected by flow cytometry. Results:The secretion of cytokines IL-23,IL-10,TNF-α and IL-8 in the culture supernatant of Helicobacter pylori treated macrophages increased significantly (P<0. 05),and the expression of NOS2 and COX2 was enhanced evidently(P<0. 05). Meanwhile,helicobacter pylori could induce the apoptosis of macrophages obviously ( P<0. 03 ) . Conclusion: The inflammatory responses of macrophages treated with Helicobacter pylori would be promoted to inhibit or kill Helicobacter pylori,furthermore,Helicobacter pylori could induce the apotosis of macropha-ges.
