Objective To explore the effect of scalp acupuncture combined with speech therapy on the patients with ischemic stroke.Methods 96 patients with Broca aphasia of ischemic stroke were divided into the treatment group(scalp acupuncture and speech therapy) and the control group (only speech therapy). The China Rehabilitation Research Center Aphasia Examination(CRRCAE) was used to assess the language function. All the patients were observed in basic language features such as the auditory comprehension, repetition, speech, and reading.Results The scores of composite language ability of the two groups were all raised significantly after two treatment courses, but it was more significantly in the treatment group than in the control group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Scalp acupuncture combined with speech therapy can improve the basic language skills of the patients with ischemic stroke following Broca aphasia.

Purpose To study the expression of ERG in various vascular tumors, and to explore the value of ERG in the diagnosis of vascular tumor. Methods Immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to detect the expression of ERG and CD31 in 30 cases of vascular tumor and 20 cases of non-vascular tumor. Results All vascular tumors diffusely expressed ERG and CD31. Expression of ERG was unrelated to tumor histologic type and benign or malignant. Expression of ERG was consistent with CD31. Of 20 non-vascular tumors, all except for one cases of epithelial sarcoma did not express ERG. The sensitivity and specificity of ERG in the diagnosis of vascular tumor were 100% and 96. 7%. Conclusion ERG is a high sensitive and specific marker for vascular-derived tumor. The combinated detection of ERG and CD31 may useful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of vascular tumor.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of the long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods The expressions of MALAT-1 mRNA in 29 EOC tissues and 20 normal ovarian tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The relationships between the expression of MALAT-1 mRNA in EOC and its clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA in EOC tissues was lower than that in normal ovarian tissues (0.089±0.090 vs 1.450±1.404,t =4.331,P ＜ 0.001).The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA in advanced (Ⅲ-Ⅳ) stage tissues was significantly lower than that in early (Ⅰ-Ⅱ) stage tissues (0.044±0.043 vs 0.174±0.095,t =-5.125,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA was significantly lower in poorly differentiated and poorly-moderately differentiated ovarian cancer than that in well differentiated ones (0.070 ±0.091 vs 0.161±0.021,t =2.409,P =0.023).The expression of MALAT-1 mRNA was significantly lower in tissues with the lymphonode or omental metastasis than that in tissues without invasion (0.045±0.047 vs 0.142±0.102,t =3.378,P =0.002).Conclusions The expression of long non-coding RNA MALAT-1 is lower in EOC,which is related to tumor grade,clinical stage,lymphonode and omental metastasis.It is suggested that MALAT-1 may play an inhibition role in the progress of ovarian cancer.

Aim To study the mechanism of inhibition of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) related signal transduction by lidamycin in cancer cells. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the growth inhibitory effect of lidamycin (LDM) and adriamycin (ADR) in several cancer cell lines. The inhibition of bFGF bound to its receptor by LDM was measured with [ 125I ]-bFGF binding assay.Intracellular Ca2+ stimulated by bFGF was measured by Fura-3. The formation of bFGF- receptor immune complex and the inhibitory effect of LDM on the activity of PKC isoenzymes induced by bFGF in cancer cells were identified by Western blotting analysis. Results LDM displayed extremely potent growth inhibitory effect on several cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. A comparison of the IC50 values showed that the effect of LDM was 1 000-fold more potent than that of ADR. LDM blocked the specific by anti-FGFR specific antibody, LDM inhibited the formation of bFGF-receptor immune complex. bFGF demonstrated that LDM inhibited the activity of PKC isoenzymes in cancer cells stimulated with bFGF.Conclusion The blocking of bFGF receptors in the signal transduction pathway may be involved in the effect of LDM on cancer cells.

With the development of modern radiotherapy techniques,radiotherapy has been widely used in the multimodality therapy for various malignant tumors,including head and neck cancers such as nasopharyngeal cancer and laryngeal cancer.A combination of surgery and radiochemotherapy significantly improves patients' cure rate and survival time;however,with the increase in survival time,some patients receiving radiotherapy develop marked cognitive impairment.Ionizing radiation-induced cognitive impairment mainly nanifests as hippocampus-dependent cognitive impairment,which is associated with inhibited hippocampal neurogenesis due to ionizing radiation.Therefore,it is necessary to investigate the mechanisms of the inhibition of hippocampal neurogenesis by ionizing radiation.This article reviews the molecular mechanism of neurogenesis disorders induced by ionizing radiation.

METHODS:The expression of EBV-LMP1 was detected by immunohistochemical method (LSAB). Proliferation of NPC cells was identified by MTT method. Cell cycle percentage was detected by flow cytometry analysis. RESULTS: OD value of EBV-LMP1 expressive NPC cells L-CEN1 was much higher than that of both EBV-LMP1 negative NPC cells V-CEN1 and CNE1 ( P 0.05).CONCLUSION:The expression of EBV-LMP1 on NPC cell might cause some change of cell cycle and enhance cell proliferation.

AIM: To explore the effect of EBV infection on growth and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cell line.METHODS: NPC cell line CNE1 was directly infected by Epstein Barr virus (EBV). The expression of EBV-latent membrane protein 1 (EBV-LMP1) and bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry method (LSAB). The growth of NPC cells was identified by MTT method. Apoptotic carcinoma cells were detected by flow cytometry analysis and the terminal deoxynucletidyl transferase-medicated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) methods. RESULTS: EBV-LMP1 was positive in CNE1 infected by EBV(E-CNE1). Compared with CEN1, the growth of E-CNE1 apparently increased ( P

AIM: To investigate the changes of bladder volume , pressures and pelvic nerve firing induce by different speeds and ways of instillation .METHODS:Female SD rats (n=20) were randomly divided into 2 groups.The rats in group A was performed using 3-F polyethylene tubing inserted into the bladder through the urethra .The rats in group B were performed using 3-F tubing inserted into the dome of the bladder and secured by silk suture .The rats in both groups were infused with saline into the bladder at different speeds of 50, 100, 200 and 400μL/min.The changes of bladder vol-ume and pressure were recorded by urodynamic measuring devices .The changes of pelvic nerve firing during instillation were recorded by multi-channel physiologic recorder .RESULTS:In group A, the maximum firing frequency , bladder leak point pressure ( BLPP) and maximum voiding pressure ( MVP) were increased with the increase in the instillation speed . No significant difference of the maximum bladder capacity (MBC) at different speeds was observed .In group B, the maxi-mum firing frequency had no significant difference at different speeds .MBC was decreased with the increase in the instilla-tion speed , and exhibited significant decrease at 200 and 400 μL/min.No significant difference of BLPP and MVP at dif-ferent speeds was observed .Compared with group A , the maximum firing frequency and MBC in group B significantly de-creased at different speeds .However , BLPP and MVP in group B were higher than those in group A at the speeds of 50 and 100 μL/min.CONCLUSION:Different instillation speeds with the method of group A will not change the bladder volume but influence the pelvic nerve firing , so the process of method A may take various speeds according to different aims .How-ever, process of method B at the speed of over 200 μL/min may not be good to MBC, thus instillation under 200 μL/min is re-commended .
