Objective To analyze the rented factors leading to successful treatment of ectopic pregnancy by conservative therapy and to explore importance of this therapy. Methods 152 patients with ectopic pregnancy performed with conservative treatment were randomly recruited into a methotrexate plus Chinese medicine group, a 5-fluorouracil plus Chinese medicine group and a exclusive Chinese medicine group. The curative rate and side effect were observed in groups, and the relation between the treatment condition and the curative rate was analyzed. Results There was no difference in curative rate among groups, while the side effect in the exclusive Chinese medicine group was lower than other groups. It showed high curative rate in patients with two or more conditions of having mass less than 3 cm, the level of bloodβ-hCG less than 1000 IU/L, and the depth of posterior fomix effusion less than 1 cm. Conclusion Among the treatments of ectopic pregnancy, Chinese medicine has fewer side effects. Fully evaluation on the treatment condition can improve the curative rate.

Objective To develop a rapid donor liver harvesting method in orthotopic liver transplantation in rats,and to study the stability and the success rate of the model.Methods A total of 200 healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group(rapid donor liver harvesting transplant group),and the control group(conventional liver transplant group).The operation time,cold(ischemic) time and warm ischemic time of the donor liver, recipient post-transplation liver function and the success rate of the operation between the 2 grous were cpmpared.Results In the control group,the(operation) time of donor harvesting was(33.8?4.2) min,warm ischemic time and cold ischemic time of donor liver was(3.5?1.2) min and(62.0?4.2) min,with a 80% rate of success.The new method reduced the time for donor surgery to(13.1?2.2)min,and reduced the warm ischemic time and cold(ischemic) time of donor liver to 0 min and(38.0?3.1)min respectively,and with a 94% rate of success(all P

ObjectiveLoss-of-function mutation of p53,a tumor suppressor gene,is an important mechanism for the development of human cancers.In this study we tried to transfect p53N15-based fusion peptide into H1299,a lung cancer cell line,and evaluate the anti-tumor effects of the fusion peptide.MethodsAdeno-associated virus ( AAV) vectors were used for transfecting p53N15 fusion peptide into p53-null lung adenocarcinoma H1299 cells.The anti-replication effects of p53N15 fusion peptide were evaluated with inverted microscopy,MTT test for cell viability and flow cytometry.ResultsFusion peptides in H1299 cells was highly expressed and had detectable suppressive effects on cell proliferation.A large amount of dead cells were seen under microscope after the transfection of recombinant viruses for 72 hours.Cells activity was reduced significantly in the virus-transfecting groups as demonstrated by MTT test.The flow cytometry showed that a large number of dead cells were present in the virus-transfecting groups.ConclusionThe growth of H1299 lung adenocarcinoma cells could be inhibited in vitro by being transfected with p53N15 fusion peptide,which may be a potential gene therapy alone or as an adjuvant option in the treatment of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression and the early diagnostic significance of heat shock protein 70 in acute allograft rejection of liver-transplamed rats. Methods The model of rat orthotopic liver transplantation was made by using a modified "two-cuff technique". The rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. For each group, donors and receptors all included 15 rats respectively. The control group: Wistar to Wistar liver transplantation; The untreated group: SD to Wistar liver transplantation, not receiving any immunosuppressant after liver transplantation; The treatment group: SD to Wistar liver transplantation, receiving intramuscular injection of tacrolimus (FKS06, 2mg kg-1. day-1) after operation. Five rats were executed randomly in every group on the post-transplantation day 3, 5 and 7 and the graft samples were obtained for optical microscopic observation. The expression of HSPT0 in grafts was detected by using immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR. The correlation between acute rejection following liver transplantation and the expression of HSP70 in grafted liver was studied. Results There was no acute rejection examined in the control group. The untreated group showed typical allograft rejection and the rejection activity index (RIA) went up gradually after the operation (P<0.01). The treatment group showed no rejection or borderline allograft rejection. The level of HSP70 was increased transiently after operation, then reduced in the control group (P<0.05). The level of HSP70 in the untreated group was higher than in the control groupand gradually increased with the prolongation of time after transplantation (P<0.01). A significant correlation was found between HSP70 and pathological score in the untreated group (P<0.01). The treatment group showed low levels of HSP70 of all the time. Conclusions The expression of HSP70 in grafts is closely related to the occurrence and development of the acute rejection and can be useful for early diagnosis of acute allograft rejection following liver transplantation.
