Objective To study the diagnostic value of mammography and high-frequency ultrasound in diagnosis of early breast carcinoma.Methods Sixty-five female patients with breast carcinoma were all confirmed by surgery and pathological examinations. All the patients were examined by the high-frequency ultrasound as well as mammography.Results The positive diagnostic rate,the display of tumor shadow and malignant microcalcification with high-frequency ultrasound and mammography were as follows :64.6%(42/65)and 46%(30/ 65),62%(40/65)and 20%(13/65),40%(26/65)and 20%(13/65)respectively. The difference was considered statistically significant(P

ObjectiveTo discuss the influence on diagn osing of femoral vein reflux by using the different ultrasound Doppler probing points. MethodsUsing pulse wave(PW) and color Doppler flow imaging, 134 femoral veins in 67 cases of lower limb varicosity were detected at 3 different probing points to check up the deep venous reflux after Valsava maneuver. The ultrasonographic data were compared with the results of venous DSA and operation to analyze the influence on diagnosis. ResultsThe reflux data obtained from the upper point of superficial femoral vein was most correlative with the results of DSA and operation. ConclusionsThe PW is a satisfactory technique in diagnosing the femoral reflux, and the upper point of superficial femoral vein is a most reasonable probing point.

Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of Liyanling granules on chronic pharyngitis. Methods:The chronic pharyn-gitis rat models were established, and administered orally for 7 days. The influence of Liyanling granules on the pathology of pharyngeal tissue and the contents of PGE2 , IL-1β and TNF-α were observed. The blood was withdrawn to detect the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and the anti-inflammatory effects were observed in two kinds of rat models:foot pad swelling induced by carrageenin and agar-induced chronic granuloma. Results:Liyanling granule could significantly decrease the levels of PGE2 , IL-1βand TNF-α( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01) and the viscosity of blood and plasma(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), improve the pathological morphology of rat pharynge-al tissues(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), inhibit the swelling of foot pad induced by carrageenin and the granuloma induced by agar in rats(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Liyanling granules has a certain therapeutic effect on chronic pharyngitis in rats, and the mecha-nism may be related with the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines PGE2 ,IL-1β and TNF-α and the improvement of blood rheology.

Objective:To evaluate the association of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1 )polymorphism,smoking and alcohol drinking with oral cancer susceptibility in Asians by meta-analysis.Methods:A literature search of PubMed,Chinese BioMedical, Wanfang,VIP and CNKI databases from inception to July 30th,2013 was conducted.Crude odd ration (OR)with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI)was calculated.Results:27 case-control studies were assessed,and the results showed that the association be-tween GSTM1 null genotype and oral cancer susceptibility was significant in Asians (OR=1.31,95%CI:1.18-1.45,P<0.001), especially in South Asians (OR=1.35,95%CI:1.20 -1.52,P<0.001).Significant associations between oral cancer risk and smoking and alcohol drinking were found in East Asians (Smoking:OR=1.70,95%CI:1.36 -2.13,P<0.001;Alcohol drink-ing:OR=1.54,95%CI:1.24 -1.90,P<0.001).Conclusion:GSTM1 null genotype may be associated with increased oral cancer risk in Asians.Smoking and alcohol drinking confer significant susceptibility to oral cancer in East Asians.

BACKGROUND: Cryopreservation can decrease tissue and organ immunogenicity. The effects of cryopreservation on cell immunogenicity are disputed.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of liquid nitrogen cryopreservation on osteoblast immunogenicity. DESIGN: Randomized,controlled ,paired-sample experiment. SETTING: This study was performed in the Laboratory Center, Qilu Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University between July 2003 and March 2004. MATERIALS: Four New Zealand rabbits of either gender were included for this study. 3H-TdR was provided by Nuclear Medicine Institute of Shandong University. METHODS: Osteoblasts were cultured from the tibial periosteum of New Zealand rabbits and then cryopreservated in the liquid nitrogen for 3 months and defrosted. Cryopreservated and thawn osteoblasts were set as cryopreserved group and freshly cultured osteoblasts were set as non-cyropreserved group. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-I positive rate was examined by flow cytometry assay prior to and after cryopreservation. Simultaneously, mixed lymphocyte-osteoblast cultures were established. Lymphocyte stimulation index was calculated after counting the flares using β liquid scintilloscope. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: MHI-I antigen positive rate and lymphocyte stimulation index prior to and after cryopreservation of osteoblasts. RESULTS: MHI-I antigen positive rate and lymphocyte stimulation index of osteoblasts was significantly higher in the non-cryopreserved group than in the cryopreserved group (P＜0.01). CONCLUSION: The immunogenicity of cryopreserved osteoblasts was significantly decreased. Liquid nitrogen cryopreservation is an ideal method to decrease the immunogenicity of osteoblasts.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and toxicity of intraperitoneal chemotherapy combined with intravenous chemotherapy in treatment of cervical cancer.Methods The experimental group of 40 patients received systemic chemotherapy of docetaxel and cisplatin combined abdominal intraperitoneal high-frequency hyperthermia in the control group,40 patients received docetaxel plus cisplatin chemotherapy,The efficacy and toxicity were observed.Results The complete remission rate of observotion group was 82.5％,significantly higher than 62.5％ in control group.Effective rate in observation group was 92.5％ and also significantly higher than 75.0％ in control gronp.After 6 cycles of chemotherapy,the improvement of the experimental group was 85.0％ higher than 57.5 ％ in control gronp.The differemles between the two groups was statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05); the main side effects during chemotherapy are gastrointestinal reactions,since the cells decreased,hair loss,the difference was not statistically significant(P ＞0.05).Conclusion The chemotherapy of docetaxel and cisplatin intraperitoneal chemotherapy can significantly improve the treatment of cervical cancer,without increasing side effects.

OBJECTIVE:To study the antitumor activity of Anthopleura xanthogrammica crude extract on human lung cancer SPC-A1 cells in vitro. METHODS:A. xanthogrammica crude extract obtained by the methods of repeated freezing and thawing,ac-etone precipitation. After treated with crude extract 0(blank control),0.625,1.25 and 2.5 mg/ml for 24,48 and 72 h,the activity of SPC-A1 cells were measured by MTT assay.

RESULTS:MTT assay showed that A. xanthogrammica crude extract has significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human lung cancer SPC-A1 cells;with the increasing of the concentration and the extension of the time,the inhibitory rate was increased. Its 24 h,48 h ,72 h IC50 were 1.81,1.32 and 1.18 mg/ml. HE staining and AO/EB staining appeared obvious morphological changes of apoptosis that cell mor-phology narrowed,vacuoles arose in the cytoplasm,karyopyknosis and part of nuclear disappearance occurred. CONCLUSIONS:A. xanthogrammica crude extract has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human lung cancer SPC-A1 cells.
