From January, 1960 to April. 1983, 292 cases of primary liver cancer were treated by liver resection. Of them, 21 cases underwent re-exploratory operation for relapsed reason and 14 tumours were removed with a resectability rate of 66.7%.In this series recurred tumours in 3 patients were resected by a two-stage operation with hepatic artery ligation or embolizaton as the first step.Following-up results: 7 out of 14 resected cases survivors, 2 survived above one year, 4 more than half a year and 1 less than half a year; in another 7 cases died post-reoperativelly, 1 above one year, 4 more than half a year, 1 less than half a year.As for AFP detection 4 patients were negative and in 1 patient the AFP titre decreased to 100 ug/ml on the 33rd post-reoperative day. From the above data the authors believe that re-operation may be considered as a most effective method if it is performed at a proper time and radiotherapy, hepatic artery ligation or embolization are of great value in treating recurred cases. For the improvment of the surgical results of primary liver cancer,a preliminary scheme for investion and management procedure for such patients is suggested by the authors as well.

Objective Mounting interest emerged about hyper homocystinemia as an independent risk factor for atherothrombotic disease, and several experimental studies have shown that it may affect in-stent restenosis. The purpose of the present study was to identify the relationship between the serum homocystine level and in-stent restenosis of patients with stable angina after coronary stenting. Methods The study population comprised 168 stable angina patients who underwent stent implantation with drug-eluting stents,including 96 patients without in-stent restenosis ( the control group) and 72 patients with in-stent restenosis(the restenosis group). The level of serum homocystine was measured using the medical inspection center. Coronary angiography was performed immediately before and after stent implantation and 12-18 months later. Resu1ts Baseline characteristics including drug used after PCI were similar between the 2 groups. Serum homocystinelevel in patients of the control group were significantly lower than that in restenosis group [ ( 11. 68 ± 3. 54 )μmol/L vs. ( 18. 54 ± 4. 39 )μmol/L, P = 0. 012 ] . The quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) showed that lesion length was similar between the 2 groups, minimumlumen diameter (MLD) and stenosis rate were also similar before and after stents implantation (all P﹥0. 05). Restenosis rate [(33. 24 ± 12. 52)% vs. (84. 23 ± 13. 26)%,P=0. 000] and late lumen less [(0. 36 ± 0. 21)mm vs. (1. 82 ± 0. 68)mm,P=0. 000] were lower in the control group than in the restenosis group. Conc1usions Higher serum homocystine level might be associated with in-stent restenosis after coronary stenting.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of negative pressure vacuum cushion combined with thermoplastic body membrane in radiotherapy for Wilms tumor in children.Methods A total of 42 pediatric patients with Wilms tumor who received radiotherapy after surgery were enrolled in the study and were randomly divided into two groups according to the fixation positions:group A and group B.During radiotherapy, the patients in group A were fixed with negative pressure vacuum cushion, and those in group B were fixed by negative pressure vacuum cushion combined with thermoplastic body membrane.The setup errors, short-term effects, adverse reactions, and prognosis were compared between the two groups.ResultsGroup B showed significantly lower translational errors and rotational errors, as well as significantly higher rates of ≤3 mm and ≤5 mm errors, compared with the group A (P=0.04,0.04,0.04,0.03,0.00,0.04,0.04,0.00,0.04).Group B also showed significantly higher complete remission rates and response rates than group A (P=0.02,0.04).There were no significant differences in the adverse reaction rates (P=0.75) and the overall survival (OS) rates at 2 and 3 years (P=0.68,0.74) between the two groups.Group A had the MPTV values in left-right (LR) direction (x-axis), superior-inferior (SI) direction (y-axis), and anterior-posterior (AP) direction (z-axis) being 5.74 mm, 5.93 mm, and 5.94 mm, respectively, and group B had the MPTV values at LR, SI, and AP directions being 4.21 mm, 5.71 mm, and 4.61 mm, respectively.Conclusions In the radiotherapy positioning for Wilms tumor in children, fixation limbs with negative pressure vacuum cushion combined with thermoplastic body membrane effectively reduces the setup errors and improves the effect of radiotherapy, so it holds promise for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the status of personality, family function and psychological resilience towards employed nurses, and to explore the relationship among personality, family function and psychological resilience. Methods Four instruments were applied to investigate 240 employed nurses from comprehensive Grade 3A hospital of Fujian Province, which were the Characteristics Questionnaire, Family Intimacy Scale (FACEⅡ-CV), Self-resilience Scale and Personality Traits Questionnaire. Results The correlation analysis showed that nurses′ personality traits, family functions and psychological resilience were closely related. The multiple regression and analysis showed that 40%of the variance for employed nurses′psychological resilience could be explained through considering personality dimensions, family cohesion and adaptability. Conclusions Personality, family functions and psychological resilience towards employed nurses are closely related as both internal and external protective factors.

Objective To construct the recombinant co-expression vector carrying antisense RNA to dual-target BAG-1 and Bcl-2 genes and recombinant single expression vector carrying antisense RNA to target BAG-1 and Bcl-2 gene respectively,then to pre-liminarily investigate their effect on the proliferation of gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 in order to lay the foundation for further study the effect of this recombinant vector on the tumor cells.Methods RT-PCR was used to amplify the full length of BAG-1 and Bcl-2 cDNA from total RNA of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.The BAG-1 cDNA fragment and the Bcl-2 cDNA fragment were insert-ed into pMD18-T simple vector respectively.The pMD18-T-BAG-1 was digested with BamH Ⅰ and Cla Ⅰ and the pMD18-T-Bcl-2 was digested with EcoR Ⅰ and Nhe Ⅰ.Then the BAG-1 cDNA fragment and the Bcl-2 cDNA fragment were inserted into the mcs1 and mcs2 of the eukaryotic co-expression vector pVITRO2 in the antisense orientation respectively.The construction of the single expression vector pVITRO2-AsBAG-1 and pVITRO2-AsBcl-2 was confirmed by restriction endonuclease treatment and se-quence identification.Then the Bcl-2 cDNA fragment was inserted into the mcs2 of the recombinant vector pVITRO2-AsBAG-1 in the antisense orientation to construct the co-expression vector pVITRO2-AsBAG-1-Bcl-2,and the recombinant vector was also iden-tified by restriction endonucleases digestion and sequence identification.Then the recombinant vector was transfected into SGC-7901 cell respectively.The proliferation of the cell was determined by the MTT assay.The level change of BAG-1 and Bcl-2 mRNA in SGC-7901 cell was detected by the semi quantitative RT-PCR and the change situation of cell cycle was detected by the flow cytom-etry(FCM).Results The restriction endonucleases digestion and sequencing identification indicated that the eukaryotic co-expres-sion vector pVITRO2-AsBAG-1-Bcl-2 and the single gene expression vector pVITRO2-AsBAG-1 and pVITRO2-AsBcl-2 were con-structed successfully.The MTT assay method demonstrated that compared with the control group,the recombinant vector could in-hibit the proliferation of the cells in time dependent manner,and the inhibiting effect was most notably in the 72 h transfection group(P <0.01);inhibition ratio of recombinant vector groups was significantly higher than that of control group and pVITRO2 group(P <0.01).BAG-1 and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in recombinant vector groups were significantly decreased compared with that in the control group and pVITRO2 group(P <0.01),The RT-PCR results showed that the expression level of BAG-1 mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA was significantly decreased(P <0.01),moreover the co-expression vector group was more notably than the single expression vector groups(P <0.05),but the pVITRO2-AsBcl-2 had no obvious effect on the expression of BAG-1 mRNA(P >0. 05);the FCM detection results showed that the apoptosis rate of the recombinant vector groups was significantly higher than that of the control group and the pVITRO2 group with statistical difference(P <0.01),and the co-expression vector group was more nota-bly than single expression vector groups(P <0.01).In addition,the effect of the co-expression recombinant vector group was more significant than that of the single expression co-expression vector(P <0.01 ),the apoptosis rate was increased from 0.57% to 15.75%.Conclusion The co-expression recombinant vector pVITRO2-AsBAG-1-Bcl-2 and single expression vector pVITRO2-As-BAG-1 and pVITRO2-AsBcl-2 are successfully constructed and they can inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cell and induce cell apoptosis,moreover the pVITRO2-AsBAG-1-Bcl-2 vector is most notably.

Objective:To investigate the role of the transient receptor potential melastatin subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) ion channel in the proliferation and migration of oral squamous cancer cells OC2.Methods:The expression of TRPM7 in OC2 cells was examined by western blotting,RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence assay.The influence of TRPM7 on cell proliferation and migration under the inhibition of TRPM7 ion channel with 2-APB or siRNA TRPM7 in OC2 cells was examined by MTT and Transwell respectively.The influence of PI3K/AKT signal pathway on the expression of TRPM7 in OC2 cells was tested by Western blotting.The change of positive ion current when the OC2 cells were treated with TRPM7 inhibitor and activator was explored with patch clamp technique.Results:TRPM7 overexpression in OC2 cells mainly in the cytoplasm was observed,siRNA TRPM7 downregulated the expression of TRPM7.Inhibition of TRPM7 (2-APB or siRNA TRPM7) inhibited the growth and proliferation of OC2 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Blockage of TRPM7 ion channel inhibited the migration capacity of OC2 cells.Inhibition of TRPM7 downregulated the expression of phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated ERK.Patch clamp assay showed the activation of TRPM7-like current in OC2 cells.2-APB could weaken this current while Bradykinin could enhance the current.Conclusion:TRPM7 may regulate the proliferation and migration of oral cancer cells by the regulation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signal pathways and cell positive current.
