Background and purpose:The clear-cell cancer ovarian cancer have worse prognosis than the other ovarian cancer.The patient's survival rate of the clear-cell ovarian cancer has been analyzed in this article in order to study the effect of the treatment with CAPcytoxan(CTX),cisplatinum(DDP),epiadriamycin(E-ADM)plus mitomycin(MMC).Methods:33 cases(group A)with clear-cell ovarian cancer between Jan.1th 1999 and Dec.31th 1999 were compared to 37 cases(B group)with other pathological ovarian cancer.All cases underwent the tumor reductive surgery and been capable of remain the residual tumor size less than 1 cm.Patients in the two groups all underwent CAP based chemotherapy,and patients in group A with additional MMC chemotherapy at the same time.Group A had been compared with the clear-cell ovarian cancer with the CAP protocol(group C,stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ 15 cases,stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ 9 cases).Results:There was significant statistical different value of the CA125 in stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ before operation and no significant statistical difference for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ between the two groups.There were significant decrease in the CA125 value for the stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ and no significant decrease for stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ between two groups after three and six courses chemotherapy.There were 11(33.33%)cases developed with endometriosis and 7(21.21%)with deep venous thrombosis(DVT),however the DVT had no direct correlation to the survival rate.The average survival time for stages Ⅰ/Ⅱ in group A and B was(38.3?2.4),and(38.3?2.7)months,compared to(20?3)and(34?4)months in stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ,respectively.There was no significant statistical difference(P=0.471)in four-year survival rate between groups A and B with stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ and there was significant statistical difference(P

Objective To compare the characteristics of MRI, CT, single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) and transcranial Doppler sonography(TCD) in patients with spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor. Methods Seventeen patients were investigated. MRI or CT was scanned in 17 patients, SPECT in 9 patients′ and TCD in 11 patients. Results MRI or CT: Brain MRI and CT revealed extensive symmetric white matter involvement of bilateral cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres and the brainstem.The lesions, which showed no contrast enhancement, were hypodense on CT and hypointense on T 1 weighted and hyperintense on T 2 weighted MRI. SPECT: The regional cerebral blood flows(rCBF) of white matter involvement on bilateral cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres was reduced obviously. The rCBF of temporal lobes, parietal lobes, occipital lobes, cerebellar hemispheres, and basal ganglion was reduced in varying degrees. TCD: The systolic peak became sharpened, and end diastolic flow velocity and mean flow velocity were reduced obviously and pulsatility index was increased markedly in patients with spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor. Conclusion The characteristic manifestations of MRI and CT imaging may be regarded as the main foundation of diagnosing spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor; SPECT and TCD can help comprehend the changes of hemodynamics of cerebral vessels and the degree of cerebral ischemia in patients with spongiform leukoencephalopathy after inhaling heroin vapor.

AIM: To determine the antioxidant and the immunoregulatory effects of Centella asiatica extracts. METHODS: Centella asiatica was extracted with alcohol and different organic solvent. The content of polyphenol was determined by Folin-ciocalteau method. The efficacy of the extracts to scavenge the hydroxy radical (OH·), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH·) and intra-cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured. Lymphocyte proliferation was assessed to observe the influence of Centella asiatica extracts. RESULTS: (1) Centella asiatica was found to have abundant polyphenol extrated from different phases and in a descending order as follows: ethyl acetate extracts>n-butanol extracts>water extracts>ligarine extracts. (2) Extracts of Centella asiatica exhibited the scavenging efficacy of OH· and DPPH· free radicals, in which the acetic ether extracts showed the significant effect. (3) The acetic ether extracts had significant ability to inhibit the generation of ROS in stimulated lymphocytes. (4) The acetic ether extracts suppressed the lymphocyte proliferation. (5) The active ingredient was identified as flavone. CONCLUSION: Flavones in the Centella asiatica posseses antioxidant activity and effectively inhibits lymphocyte proliferation, showing ability of immunosuppre-ssion.

Objective To determine the moisture content in Polygoni multiflori Radix rapidly by near-infrared spectroscopy. Methods The moisture content of the samples were determined by oven drying method and the near-infrared spectrum data were collected by near-infrared spectroscopy.The quantitative test model of moisture content in Polygoni multiflori Radix was established by chemometrics methods and was validated with validation samples. Results The correlation coefficients, root-mean-square error of calibration (RMSEC), root-mean-square error of predication (RMSCP) and the root-mean-square error of cross-validation ( RMSECV ) of the calibration model was 0. 984 75, 0. 161, 0. 181 and 0. 471 64, respectively.The absolute deviation of the analytical and predictive values of 21 validation samples was -0.35%-0.28%, and the average recovery was 99. 87%. Conclusion Near-infrared spectroscopy can be used to determine the moisture content of Polygoni multiflori Radix rapidly and accurately.

Objective To investigate urinary iodine and dietary iodine intake in adults, and to ana-lyze the relationship of urinary iodine and daily dietary iodine intakes with thyroid nodules.Methods To-tally 30 participants with nutritional background were enrolled prospectively from January to March 2015 in Shanghai.The 3-day survey of 24-hour's diet record was made using weighting method to evaluate the daily nutrient intakes.On the second and third days of dietary records, urine samples in fasting status and 2 hours after meals were collected from all the participants (n=240).The levels of urine iodine were meas-ured, and dietary iodine intake calculated.3-month food frequency questionnaire was completed and thy-roid ultrasonography performed.Results The median urinary iodine ( MUI) of fasting and 2 h postprandi-al urine samples was 137.56 μg/L ( 91.4-211.5 μg/L) .The portions of participants with iodine insuf-ficiency, iodine adequate, and iodine above requirements or excess were 20.2%, 56.7%, and 23.3%, respectively.Inter-individual MUI varied from 36.31 μg/L to 359.20 μg/L.No significant difference was found between the fasting urinary iodine and 2 h postprandial urinary iodine ( P=0.389 ) .The average di-etary iodine intake was (197.2 ±74.2) μg/d, and the proportions from iodine salt and drinking water were 70.2% and 5.4%, respectively.There was a significant positive correlation between dietary iodine intake and urinary iodine value of the same day (r=0.426, P=0.019).Participants with thyroid nod-ules had higher urinary iodine than participants without thyroid nodules [ ( 194.0 ±101.5 ) μg/L vs. (135.7 ±72.9) μg/L, P<0.001].Conclusions Inter-individual iodine nutritional status are signifi-cantly different under natural living status.Increased urinary iodine may be related with thyroid nodules. Repeat random urine iodine test combined dietary assessment may reduce the error in evaluating individual iodine nutritional status.
