The incidence of rectal cancer has been increasing in recent years .It leads to more attention of scholars at home and abroad ,which the efficacy of rectal cancer has been improved by using neoadjuvant therapy all over the world .It is included preoperative radiotherapy ,preoperative chemotherapy and preoperative chemora-diotherapy .Preoperative radiotherapy ,which can be divided into short radiotherapy and conventional radiotherapy , are evaluated by comparison of T drop rate ,sphincter preservation rate ,complete remission rate and other indica-tors of clinical effect .Although the experience of pure preoperative chemotherapy is not rich enough ,it still has an advantage in lowering the tumour stage and other aspects .Currently, preoperative chemoradiotherapy is a good choice for rectal cancer ,because it could make an obvious advantage in the treatment ,at the same time ,three-di-mensional radiotherapy can make target more evenly distributed and focus treatment more precise .However,neo-adjuvant therapy has insufficient support in clinical in our country.So it needs to get more information for clinical effectiveness of applying preoperative chemoradiotherapy .This study is to summarize the new adjuvant treatment of rectal cancer .

Objective To study the effects of propofol on the expressions of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, interleukin-10 (IL-10) and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) in rat cerebrum undergoing ischemia and reperfusion. Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups with 6 rats each. The rats in group S accepted sharm operation as the controls, in group IR focal cerebral ischemia Concentrations of TNF-α and IL-10 in the cerebrum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbance assay(ELISA). An isotope([32P]-ATP) technique was applied for detecting nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) in rat cerebral cortex. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was performed in nuclear extracts from cerebral tissues. Results Compared with group S,TNF-α of group IR increased [(2.57±0.19) pg/g vs. (1.60±0.15) pg/g](P<0.05),so did the IL-10 [(11.59±1.32) pg/g vs. (7.97±1.96) pg/g](P<0.05). Compaered with group IR,TNF-α of group PP decreased [(1.88±0.26) pg/g vs. (2. 57±0. 9) pg/g](P<0.05) ,so did the IL-10 [(8.35±1.00) pg/g vs. (11.59±1.32) pg/g](P< 0.05),with decreased activity of NF-κB. There was no significant difference in the levels of TNF-α, IL-10 and NF-κB between group IR and group PA. The changes of IL-10 and NF-κB activity were parallel to that of TNF-α. Conclusion Pre-treatment with propofol can prevent the elevation of inflammatory factors in the cerebrum undergoing ischemia and reperfusion, which was not when used after cerebral ischemia. The effect of propofol on reduction of TNF-α production in ischemic cerebrum may be through inhibiting transduction pathway of NF-κB.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of COX-2 in benign and malignant breast disease,and the relationship among COX-2 expression and the clinicopathologic factors,hormone receptors.Methods Immunohistochemistry Was used to investigate the expression and distribution of COX-2 in 8 accessory.breasts,31 BPBDs(15 in adnosis,16 in fibroadnoma),70 IDCs(35 of them accompany with DCIS);The relationships between the expression of COX-2 and hormone receptor(ER and PR),C-erbB-2.and the clinicopathologic factors were studied respectively.Results①The expression of COX-2 in various kinds mammary diseases:8 accessory breasts were all negative;the positive rate of COX-2 in BPBD was 96.5%(30/31),among these,the positive rate of COX-2 in adnosis was 93.3%(14/15),and in fibroadnonm was 100%(16/16).The positive rate of COX-2 in DCIS was 85.7%(30/35).The intensity of COX-2 expression in DCIS of periph-IDC was higher than that in corresponding carcinoma.The positive rate of COX-2 in IDC Was 84.3%(59/70),the expression of COX-2 Was different among non-cancer gland.②COX-2 expression in BPBD was obviously higher compared with COX-2 in IDC,the difference was significant in statistics(χ2=9.39,P＜0.025).③The expression of COX-2 in DCIS was correlative with low histological differentiation(χ2=10.98,P＜0.005),PR negative(P=0.019,Fisher exact probability),and C-erbB-2 positive(P=0.0008,Fisher exact probability).The expression of COX-2 in IDC was correlative with lymph node metastasis(χ2=4.09,P＜0.05),tissue poorly differentiated(P=0.004,Fisher exact probability),PR negative(χ2=6.91,P＜0.01)and C-erbB-2 positive(χ2=5.94,P＜0.025).Conclusion COX-2 does not express in normal mammary gland.It is high-expressed in BPBD,DCIS and IDC;These indicate the up-regulation of COX-2 expression not only participates in breast carcinogenesis,but also promotes its metastasis and progression,and suggests COX-2 may down-regulate reactivity of endocrine thempy by participating in therapy resistance of PR negative breast cancer.

The cis-epoxysuccinate hydrolase (CESH) from Rhizobium strain BK-20 is the key enzyme for L(+)-tartaric acid production. To establish a highly efficient and stable production process, we first optimized the enzyme production from Rhizobium strain BK-20, and then developed an immobilized cell-culture process for sustained production of L(+)-tartaric acid. The enzyme activity of free cells reached (3 498.0 +/- 142.6) U/g, and increased by 643% after optimization. The enzyme activity of immobilized cells reached (2 817.2 +/- 226.7) U/g, under the optimal condition with sodium alginate as carrier, cell concentration at 10% (W/V) and gel concentration at 1.5% (W/V). The immobilized cells preserved high enzyme activity and normal structure after 10 repeated batches. The conversion rate of the substrate was more than 98%, indicating its excellent production stability.

Objective To study the effects of He-Ne laser irradiation dosage on the expression of heat shock protein ( HSP70) and CyclinD_1 in rats with chronic atrophic gastritis ( CAG). Method Fifty-two adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: a normal control group, model group and three groups receiving different doses of He-Ne laser irradiation. CAC was induced using an enema of 2% sodium salicylate and 30% alcohol combined with irregular fasting and forced exercise as pathogenic factors. Laser irradiation was applied for 20 days (large dose 6.24 J/cm~2 , medium dose 4. 80 J/cm~2, small dose 3. 36 J/cm~2). The changes in HSP70 and CyclinD_1 expression were observed. Results The expression of HSP70 and CylinD_1 were highest in the normal control group and the small dose laser group. Compared with the model group, the average expression of HSP70 and CyclinD_1 increased significantly in the small dose group. Conclusions Irradiation with a He-Ne laser at 3. 36 J/cm~2 provides good adjuvant therapeutic effect for CAG in rats. After irradiation, the expression of HSP 70 and CyclinD_1 increased. HSP is important in improving mucosal defenses and promoting cell proliferation in CAG, and it can be promoted through small doses of He-Ne laser irradiation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore new hallmarks affecting the prognosis of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) via investigating the expression of CyclinE and p27 in LSCC tissues. METHOD: The expression of CyclinE and p27 was detected via Elivision immunohistochemical staining in 160 LSCC tissues and 20 normal laryngeal tissues (NLT). The relationship between CyclinE/ p27 and LSCC/ NLT was analyzed via Log-rank analysis. The relationship of CyclinE and p27 protein was statistically analyzed by spearman correlation analysis. The relationship between CyclinE/p27 and clinical-pathology-factors of patients with LSCC, such as age, gender, tumor site, diameter, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and PTNM stage were analyzed by Chi-square test. The relationship between clinical-pathology-factors, CyclinE, p27 and overall survival time of patients with LSCC was analyzed via Cox multiplicity and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. A significant difference was recognized by P<0.05. RESULT: In LSCC the positive rates of CyclinE and p27 protein was 62.50% and 41.25% respectively (P<0.05). In NLT the positive rates of CyclinE and p27 protein was 35% and 70% respectively (P<0.05). The expression of CyclinE or p27 protein was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis, PTNM stage of patients with LSCC (P<0.05). The expression of CyclinE and p27 had no significant correlations with patients' gender, age and tumor site, diameter differentiation (P>0.05 for all). A negative correlation was found between the expression of CyclinE and p27 protein, r= -0.767(P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival rate of patients with LSCC was 36.9% (P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate in positive group of CyclinE was 8%, in negative group was 80% (P<0.05). On the contrary, the 5-year survival rate of patients with LSCC in positive group of p27 protein was 77.27%, the rate was 5.32% in negative group (P<0.05). Cox multivariate regression analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis, PTNM stage, CyclinE and p27 were independent risk factors of prognosis for patients with LSCC. CONCLUSION It is the molecular basis underlying the development and invasion/ metastasis of LSCC that activation of CyclinE gene accompanying inactivation of p27 gene. It is very important of co-detecting CyclinE and p27 protein to predict the prognosis of patients with LSCC.
