Objective To investigate the effect of adenosine on pulmonary injury after extracorporeal circulation. Methods Twelve mongrel dogs were randomly divided into two groups, the test group and control group. The model of extracorporeal circulation was established. In the test group and control group, adenosine(50μg/kg*min) and normal saline were infused before extracorporeal circulation respectively. Hemodynamics, right cardiac function and arterial blood gas were assessed. Lung water and malondialdehyde content were assessed. Histological evaluation was also made. Results　There were no differences between the two groups with respect to heart rate, mean systemic artery pressure, left atrial pressure, and central venous pressure. In the test group, pulmonary vascular resistance was lower and right cardiac function improved remarkably; arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) was also higher, less lung water was observed and the malondialdehyde content in the pulmonary tissue was lower (P＜0.05,P＜0.01). Histological evaluation of the test group revealed normal pulmonary architecture without abundant intra-alveolar neutrophils. Conclusion Adenosine can attenuate ischemia-reperfusion lung injury and right cardiac insufficiency caused by extracorporeal circulation. At a proper dose, there was no significant effect on systemic hemodynamics.

Objective By previous overview of patients treated in our hospital, this study highlights on the intervention effects of TCM treating principle of regulating liver Qi and tonifying kidney Yin on the adverse reaction of TAM on breast cancer patients in post surgery. Methods Perspective study with the measures of randomization, and paralleling and synchronization control was conducted in the research. Results symptoms such as flush, insomnia, night sweat, palpitation, depression and heat sensation in the chest, palms and soles were improved significantly; while manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, irregular menstruation, bitter taste and dry mouth showed no significant changes. QOL changed significantly. Conclusion The application of treating principle of regulating liver Qi and tonifying kidney Yin is effective in reducing side effects caused by TAM. This result further improved the theory of TCM that the nature of liver is active, although the liver belongs to Yin in physique and but Yang in function.

Objective The prospective study was trying to explore the altering tendency of plasma concentration of E2, P and PAS after TCM intervention for post-surgery breast cancer patient who received endocrine therapy (tamoxifen).Methods By randomization, parallel, coincidence measures and the lab. technologies of AXSYM registered at Abbott lab. in the USA, plasma concentration of E2, P and FAS were tested before and after treatment. Results The results of biochemical test of plasma E2, P and FAS concentration of the two arms showed no significance difference before and after the intervention,indicating the side effects relating to TAM had nothing to do with plasma E2, P and FAS level. Conclusion It could be predicable that there must be some other by-pass ways initiating breast cancer rather than the way directly altering the level of plasma concentration of E2, P and FAS.

Objective To evaluate the value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in differentiatied diagnosis for stromal tumour and lipoma in duodenal tract.MethodsThe EUS images of 44 cases of stromal tumour(30 cases) and lipoma( 14 cases) which were confirmed by pathological results were analyzed retrospectively.The location,size,layer of origin,margin,internal echo pattern and homogeniety of the lesion were recorded and compared.Results Compared with lipoma,stromal tumour showed a significant difference in the layer of origin,margin,internal echo and homogeniety ( P ＜ 0.05 ),but there was no statistical difference in the lesion location and size( P ＞0.05).ConclusionsEUS is greatly helpful to the differential diagnosis of stromal tumour and lipoma in duodenal tract.

Objective To investigate the frequency of micresatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and select sensitive loci for studying microsatellite DNA imbalance in thymic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods 5 microsat-ellitc polymorphism markers and extrated DNA were selected from 9 specmiens of paired thymie squamous cell carcinoma/nor-real tissues. MSI and LOH in the specmiens of thymic carcinoma and relevant pericancerou tissues were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) with silver staining. Results MSI or LOH was detected in 9 thymic carcinoma tissues. The frequency of MSI or LOH was 66.7% (6/9) at loci of D6S1708, 33.3% (3/9) at TP53, 33.3% (3/9)at DM, 33.3% (3/9)at D11S988 and 0% (0/9)at D8S136, LOH at D6S1708 (5/6) was a common genetic alteration. DI1S988 had only LOH alteration. Conclusion D6S1708, TP53, DM, and D11S988 are sensi-tive loci for studying microsatellite DNA imbalance in thymic squamous cell carcinoma. Microsatellite DNA imbalance may play a certain role in occurrence and development of thymic squamous cell carcinoma, and the relationship between MSi or LOH.The linicopathological features of thymic squamous cell carcinoma needs further investigation.

objective: To observe the variations of stress magnitude in the cervical vertebra exerted by vertical traction force from various angles and different points. Methods: The cervical vertebra model was produced by using elastic material of light (polycarbonate) and silica rubber(1:1). By calculating the arithmetical progression of interference fringe. The author judged the stress magnitude in the posterior edge of the C4-7 vertebral bodies when different kinds of pulling force acted on. Result: The interference pattern was seen clearly on the screen while the force acted on the model. When the pulling force acted on C1 or C2, the force was acting at an angle of 150the maximum of the stress presented in C4-5 and when the force acted at an angle of 25° the maximum stress presented in C5-6 and C6-7. Conclusion: The stress distributed upon the posterior edge of the vertebral joints is closely related to the points that the force aced on and the direction of the force． Appropriate points and direction of the pull should be selected according to the change of the lesion joints when manual manipulation is used for the treatment of cervical vertebral disease.

This article reviewed the method of OVX model establishment, behaviorchange, histopathology and biochemistry. Articles published in recent 20 years were collected in the review of the development.

Objective To investigate the effects of Xuebijing injection on expression of myeloid cell triggering receptor-1(TREM-1)and the plasma levels of soluble TREM-1(sTREM-1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6)in patients with severe sepsis. Methods Twenty patients with severe sepsis admitted into Critical Care Medicine Department,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were given comprehensive treatments according to the guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock(2004),and they were divided into Xuebijing group and control group(each 20 cases). The Xuebijing injection group was given Xuebijing injection 50 mL,3 times daily for 5-7 days followed by regular treatments. The changes in blood TREM-1 mRNA expression and plasma concentrations of sTREM-1,TNF-α,and IL-6 were detected before and after treatments on the 3rd and 5th day,and the above indexes were compared between the two groups. Results Before treatments,there were no significant differences in TREM-1 mRNA expression and levels of sTREM-1,TNF-α,IL-6 between two groups (all P>0.05). The TREM-1 expression and plasma concentrations of sTREM-1,TNF-α,and IL-6 of two groups were declined after treatments compared to their baselines,the degree of decline being more prominent in Xuebijing group〔TREM-1 mRNA 3 days:1.065±0.277 vs. 1.217±0.301,t=-3.267,P=0.047;5 days:0.912±0.239 vs. 1.071±0.254,t=-5.072,P=0.032;sTREM-1(ng/L):146.93±13.76 vs. 176.22±19.46,t=-5.442,P=0.033;TNF-α(ng/L):77.51±11.28 vs. 107.72±13.17,t=-4.355,P=0.032;IL-6(ng/L):288.35±14.59 vs. 323.89± 24.51, t=-3.941,P=0.028〕. Conclusion Early implication of Xuebijing injection is of great significance in patients with severe sepsis,it may reduce the expression level of TREM-1 and serum levels of downstream inflammatory mediators,that is beneficial to the control of inflammatory responses and improvement of systemic inflammatory response syndrome in such patients.
