Liver is one of the most predilection sites of hematogenous metastasis of a variety of malignances,especially for gastrointestinal tumors.Surgical resection was the first choice for the treatment of liver metastases,while it could not apply to patients who had multiple metastatic lesions or other organs involvement.Interventional technique has been widely recognized for the advantages of minimal trauma,little pain,quick recovery and obvious efficacy.

Graduate education is the maln approach to cultivate advanced medical talents. However, the current clinical research ability tralning for postgraduate students is poor. This article discusses about four possible reasons: the misunderstanding of the medical research, system defects of the endowment of scientific research fund, drawbacks of evaluation criteria, and deficiency of grad-uate student curriculum. In order to improve the clinical research ability of medical graduates, this article also discusses the possible solutions: clarifying the understanding, strengthening policy support, im-proving the evaluation methods, and perfecting the tralning course of the clinical medical research.

OBJECTIVETo optimize the hydrolysis process of linarin by response surface methodology, and to use the model of aldose reductase to study the acacetin's activity of aldose reductase inhibitory.

METHODThe model of acacetin enzyme in vitro was established by the determination of fluorescence absorption of NADPH, the inhibition rate of acacetin aldose reductase was calculated, and then the IC50 of hydrolysis was obtained. The hydrolysis process of linarin hydrolysis condition was optimized by using response surface method.

RESULTThe results indicated that the IC50 of acacetin (2.74 mg x L(-1)) was less than the IC50 of linarin (3.53 mg x L(-1)). Hydrolyzation time of 7.4 h, sulphuric acid concentration of 0.54 mol x L(-1) and the ratio of material to liquid of 3 : 1 were the optimum conditions.

CONCLUSIONHydrolyzate acacetin has preferable inhibitory activity of aldose reductase. The optimized hydrolysis condition of linarin is convenient to use with good predictability.

In recent years, the function of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a hot field in melanoma.The abnormal expression of MITF is closely related to the occurrence and metastasis of melanoma.In addition, the down expression of MITF promotes its invasion.Studying the regulation of MITF and its related molecules and signaling pathways will let us further understand the molecule mechanism of malignant melanoma metastasis and provide help to exploit novel molecular targeted drug.

Objective: To study the relationship between the patient satisfaction with complete denture and the pain perception threshold (PPT) of alveolar ridge mucosa. Methods: Forty-five edentulous patients with complete denture were investigated with the questionnaire of patient satisfaction, PPT of alveolar ridge mucosa in the patients was measured with a pressure algometer. Results: No difference was found in the PPT of alveolar ridge mucosa between the left and the right side. The PPT was found to be higher in maxillary site than in mandibular side(P

Objective: To explore the effects and related mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus clomifene citrate capsules for infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A total of 70 patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was treated with clomifene citrate capsules, while the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the medications in the control group. The treatment course lasted for 6 menstrual cycles. The endometrial thickness and ovarian volume of the patients were measured before and after treatment. The levels of serum sex hormones, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were detected. Follow-up was performed for 1 year after treatment, and the pregnancy rate was recorded. Results: After treatment, the endometrium of the patients in both groups was significantly thickened, the ovarian volume was significantly reduced, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The endometrium thickness and ovarian volume in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum testostrn (T) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in both groups decreased significantly, the level of estradiol (E2) increased obviously, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of serum T and LH in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the E2 level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum TNF-α and NF-κB of the patients in both groups decreased, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α and NF-κB in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After 1-year follow-up, the pregnancy rate was 20.0％ in the control group, versus 51.5％ in the observation group. The pregnancy rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus clomifene citrate capsules can increase the endometrium thickness, reduce the ovarian volume, improve the status of serum sex hormone disorders, and increase the conception rate in patients with infertility due to PCOS, which may be related to the adjustment of the levels of immune inflammatory factors such as serum TNF-α and NF-κB.

Objective To study the induction of IL-6 on expression and activity of tissue factor (TF)in peripheral blood monocytes(PBMCs).Methods rhIL-6 100 ng/L and rhIL-6 100 ng/L+ rhIL-6 MoAb 10?g/L were used respectively to stimulate the PBMCs for 24 h,PBMCs without any stimulation as control group,to study the changes of antigen content,mRNA expression and the ac- tivity of the TF.Results The antigen content,mRNA expression and activity of TF were increased significantly in 100 ng/L rhIL-6 group as compared with rhIL-6 100 ng/L+rhIL-6 MoAb 10?g/L and control groups(P＜0.01).Conclusions rhIL-6 can induce the increase of antigen expression,activity and mRNA expression in PBMCs,and these effects can be suppressed successfully by rhIL-6 MoAb. This study demonstrated that there was potential relations between cytokines and thrombogenesis, which may play an important role the pathogenesis of chronic rejection.

Objective To construct the expression vector of siRNA targeting the human protection of telomeres (hPOT1) gene for the observation of the inhibitory effect of the vector on hPOT1 gene expression in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901, and to offer a ground work for further study on the roles of hPOT1 in growth and proliferation of gastric cancer cells. Methods 64 base-pair oligonucleotide for small interfering RNA expression targeting hPOT1 gene was designed and chemically synthesized. After annealing, double oligonucleotides were inserted into the downstream of H1 RNA promoter of pSUPER to recombine psiRNA-hPOT1 plasmids, and transiently transfected into gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 with liposome-mediated transfection after restriction enzyme and sequencing analysis. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of hPOT1 gene. Result Recombinant psiRNA-hPOT1 vector was confirmed by sequencing analysis. The results demonstrated that 64nt had been inserted into the expected site. Furthermore, the inserted sequence was exactly correct. The recombinant psiRNA-hPOT1 vector could significantly suppress the hPOT1 expression in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. Conclusion The constructed siRNA expression vector of hPOT1 gene psiRNA-hPOT1 recombinant plasmid can block the expression of hPOT1 gene in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.
