Objective To compare the result of T2/T3 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder after segmental cystectomy, treated by postoperative radiation plus intravesical chemotherapy and postoperative intravesical chemotherapy alone.Methods From 1985 to Dec.1995 patients with T2/T3 TCC bladder cancer who had been treated by segmental cystectomy were eligible for this retrospective analysis. Fifty-eight patients received postoperative radiotherapy plus intravesical chemotherapy (RT+IVC) and 35 patients were given postoperative intravesical chemotherapy (IVC) with thio-TEPA or calmette-Gue'rin bacilli (BCG). For radiation,8 or 18 ?MV X-ray was given with total dose of 50-60 ?Gy. Vesicoclysis was performed on 50-60 mg thio-TEPA twice per week and 0.5 mg BCG per week.Results The 3-year local control rates of RT+IVC and IVC groups were 68.6% and 48.2% showing a difference statistically significant (? 2=4.08,P=0.044).The 3- and 5-year survival rates of RT+IVC and IVC groups were 70.7%,49.5% and 59.9%,35.7% ,showing no significant difference (? 2=1.77,P=0.184). Among the 5 year survivors of the RT+IVC patients, 78.6% had their bladder preserved. Though untoward radiation reactions were severer, they were tolerated well.Conclusions Combined radiation therapy plus intravesical chemotherapy is indicated for T2/T3 bladder cancer after segmental cystectomy. Multimodality therapy is more favored to improve both the local control and the possibility of preserving the bladder.

AIM: To investigate the angiogenesis in the process of sarcoma 180 (S_(180)) tumor transplantation and changes of regulator factors, and explore the possible mechanism. METHODS: The S_(180) transplanted tumor in the Km mouse was used to detect the tumor angiogenesis by immunohistochemical examination of FⅧ. The levels of VEGF (V) and endostatin (E) in serum and the homogenate of tumor tissue were measured by ELISA and EIA, and the correlation between tumor weight and microvessel count (MVC) and morphology in tumor was also analyzed by multiple ANNOVA method. RESULTS: MVC, the relative count of total vessels and relative total vessel area increased with the development of transplanted S_ 180 . VEGF level in tumor tissue were higher at the 10th and 15th day than the 5th day after tumor transplantation. Endostatin in the tumor tissue and serum both reached the highest level at the 15th day, V/E ratio did not changed in this process. Furthermore, MVC, average vessel area and relative total area had a significant correlation with tumor weight. CONCLUSION: MVC increases in the development of S_(180) transplantation tumor and is related with the tumor weight; the positive regulator of angiogenesis in the tumor tissue is up-regulated during tumor growth, and the regulators in the tumor tissue maintains a relative balance.

Objective To elucidate the role of insulin receptor and its ?-subunit autophosphorylation in evoking insulin resistance in non-obese type 2 diabetes. Methods 14 patients with non-obese type 2 diabetes and 12 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Insulin receptor numbers and its insulin affinity in erythrocytes were measured using radio-labelled ligand binding assay described by Comi et al. Insulin receptor autophosphorylation in erythrocytes membrane was initiated by adding insulin and ?- 32 P ATP. Then the membrane proteins were resolved on 7 5% SDS-PAGE and subjected to autoradiography. Results The numbers of high and low affinity receptors in erythrocytes of type 2 diabetes were 21?13 and 955?427 per cell respectively, and they showed no significant difference as compared with control. The high affinity constant(K 1) and low affinity constant(K 2) of insulin receptors in erythrocytes of type 2 diabetes were (1 70?0 93)?10 -9 LM -1 and (1 44?0 86)?10 -7 LM -1 respectively, also displaying no significant difference in comparison with the control. Insulin-induced receptor ? subunit autophosphorylation was 8 02?5 6△A/mg protein in type 2 diabetes, which was lower than that (28 38?15 24)△A/mg protein) in control(P

Denture stomatitis is one of the most common problems appearing after patients wearing removable dentures,which appears more frequently in maxillary complete dentures. The clinical symptom is that the mucosa of the stress-bearing area of denture base broadly gets red,and forms the boundary diffusion erythema. Sometimes when the surface of denture base and the mucosa of stress-bearing area are not close well,some granules will be found at the surface of the erythema. With the world's gradually stepping into the aging society,the number of people who have to wear removable dentures is increasing,because dentition defect or edentulous affected by any reasons. As a result,how to solve the secondary disease such as denture stomatitis is becoming a hot spot which more and more researchers concern about. This paper summaries the development of prevention of denture stomatitis in prosthetic area via selection of base materials,manufacture of denture,sterilization of denture,and improvement of base.

Since the HLA system is one of the most complex human genetic polym- orphisms,its application in forensic medicine included disputed paternity and criminal identification,have been fairly recognized. The present paper reported the results of our study about the HLA typing in human blood stain,serum and saliva,it was concluded that:(1).The existed strong anti-complementary activity in human blood stain when the amount of complement used in microlym-phocytotoxicity inhibition test(MLIT) was incresed to 10?l,it was found that the results of HLA-All,-B 5 typing in bloodstains were all correct,and the detectable period was at least 90 days; (2).The soluble HLA-A antigens in human serum could reliable detected with MLIT;(3).The soluble HLA-A antigens were also present in the human siliva.

Objective: To study the scutellaria and coptis in different proportions, the main active ingredient of baicalin, berberine dissolution rate changes and to explore the effect of traditional drug pair of scutellaria and coptis on the dissolution rate of active ingredient. Methods: Based on the clinic common used prescriptions of scutellaria with coptis, ratio of 1:0,1:1,1:2,1:3,2:1,2:3,3:1,3:2,0:1 was selected, after the water boiling reflux extraction, refining separation, various products were obtained for the test, under the optimized conditions of RP-HPLC analysis to compare chromatographic fingerprints and to examine the main component baicalin, berberine in aspects of relative peak area ratio of changes and compatibility relations. Results: Compatibility of Scutellaria baicalensis and Coptis at different proportions can influence the dissolution rate of baicalin, Berberine Hydrochloride. There was a non-linear relationship of dissolution rate of baicalin and Scutellaria baicalensis. The best ratio of scutellaria ratio was 3:1, the best compatibility ratio of coptis was 1:3. Conclusion: Different compatibility proportions of scutellaria and coptis will result in different dissolution rate of baicalin and berberine.

Objective:To study the inhibitory effect of clarithromycin on angiogenesis induced by b-FGF. Methods:TheMatrigel implant assay was used. Matrigel (500?l) containing b-FGF and heparin were injected subcutaneously into the ab-domen of mice and were harvested 5 d later. The amount of hemoglobin and micro-vascular area present in the implant weremeasured and cotnpared. The mice were given either CAM (study group) or the same volume of glucose (vehicle group) oncea day by gastric intubation. Treatmen started 3 d before Matrigel implant and continued until the end of study. Results:Clar-ithromycin reduced hemoglobin content and micro-vascular area in Matrigel implant at high dosage(≥40 mg/(kg?d). Con-clusion:These data demonstrate that clarithromycin is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and may has possible therapeutic value in controlling pathologic angiogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the endothelial function in diabetic patients by high resolution sonography. Methods The intima-media thicknesses (IMT) of the bilateral carotid artery, femoral artery and the iliac artery of 22 elderly patients and 142 non-elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 20 elderly and 20 non-elderly healthy persons were measured. The changes of the diameter of brachial artery were determined by measuring the diameter of brachial artery during reactive hyperemia and after sublingual nitroglycerin. Results The increased percentage of the brachial artery diameter under reactive hyperemia was significantly lower in elderly patients with DM (10. 03?6. 39)% than that in the elderly healthy control (15. 87?4. 79)% (P 0. 05). The IMT in elderly patients with early-stage DM incrassated significantly(P
