OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the methodological bias of systematic review and the reliability of counclusions of tradi-tional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with transarterial chemoembolization in the treatment of primary liver cancer,and pro-vide evidence-based reference. METHODS:Retrieved from Cochrane Library,PubMed,Guideline,CBM,CJFD and Wanfang Da-tabase,high quality systematic review about TCM combined with transarterial chemoembolization in the treatment of primary liver cancer was collected for reevaluation. RESULTS:Totally 12 systematic review were involved. Results showed TCM combined with transarterial chemoembolization can improve tumor’s objective response,prolong the survival time of patients,improve life quali-ty,reduce postoperative adverse reactions with no serious adverse reactions reported related to TCM in the treatment of primary liv-er cancer. CONCLUSIONS:The clinical efficacy of TCM combined with transarterial chemoembolization is superior to transarterial chemoembolization alone in the treatment of primary liver cancer,with better safety.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of serum HGF level changes in gastric cancer pa-tients. Methods 60 cases of patients who operatied and clinicopathological confirmed gastric cancer, were detected serum HGF level by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) .40 cases were administered radical gastrectomy,20 cases of patients who had distant metastasis and loss operative chance were detected 7 days and 3 months preopera-tive,postoperative serum HGF level respectively. At the same time 40 cases of chronic gastritis patients and 40 cases of healthy examination people were selected as control group. Results Serum HGF level in patients with gastric canc-er was significantly higher than that of chronic gastritis and normal controls(P <0. 01). The serum HGF level of pa-tients with tumor vascular invasion significantly increased(P <0. 05). The patients with lymph node metastasis,serum HGF level was significantly higher than that patients with no lymph node metastasis(P <0. 05). The serum HGF level of patients with liver metastasis was significantly higher than that patients with no liver metastasis(P <0. 05). The se-rum HGF level of gastric cancer patients whose maximum diameter of the tumor ≥3cm were significantly higher than that maximum diameter of the tumor <3cm(P<0. 05). According to TNM staging of gastric cancer,the serum HGF level of Ⅰ phase and Ⅱ phase patients were significantly lower than that Ⅲ phase and Ⅳ phase patients(P <0.05).The serum HGF level of gastric cancer patients had no significant correlation with sex ,age and histological type(P <0.05). The serum HGF level of 40 cases of patients who were 1 week after surgery were significantly decreased,the patients who were 3 months after surgery were more obvious(P <0. 05 and P <0. 001). Conclusion HGF may play an important role in gastric cancer occurrence and development. The detection of serum HGF level can become an im-portant index for monitoring the degree of gastric cancer and prognosis of patients.

Objective Analysis and investigate the suitable method and results of auxiliary diagnostic test applicated in newly di‐agnosed patients with multiple myeloma(MM) .Methods The auxiliary diagnostic test results of the 171 patients newly diagnosed with MM were analyzed retrospectively .Results In bone marrow smear examination ,the percentages of plasma cell in all the 171 patients increased and were 5 .0% -88 .0% ,while the morphology of plasma cells was abnormal .The levels of immunoglobulin in 112 patients increased in different degrees .81 patients had different degrees of renal function damage .110 patients had different de‐grees of anemia and reduction of white blood cells and platelets .Conclusion Comprehensive considerate all the results of auxiliary diagnostic tests and the clinical manifestations could improve the detection rate of MM.

BACKGROUND:Stem cels from the apical papila are a new kind of mesenchymal stem cels, and whether it can
be used in root regeneration is the key to the present study. OBJECTIVE:To culture rat stem cels from the apical papila and periodontal ligament stem celsin vitro, and to compare the biology behaviors of these two kinds of cels, thereby providing experimental basis for the application of stem cels from the apical papila in root regeneration. METHODS:The apical papila, as wel as the periodontal ligament tissues from the healthy mandibular teeth of young rats were digested and cultured. Immunophenotypes of stem cels from the apical papila and periodontal ligament stem cels were detected by immunofluorescence technique. Then, cel growth curves were determined by MTT method and mineralized nodule formation was observed by alizarin red staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cels from the apical papila and periodontal ligament stem cels were both positive for STRO-1. Stem cels from the apical papila were positive for CD90 and weakly positive for CD146. Periodontal ligament stem cels were positive for CD146 and weakly positive for CD90. The absorbance values of stem cels from the apical papila and periodontal ligament stem cels increased with the increasing of time and became stable at 8 days. Since the 4th day, the proliferation capacity of stem cels from the apical papila was significantly stronger than that of periodontal ligament stem cels (P < 0.05). Both of stem cels are visible to have mineralized nodule formation. Compared with the periodontal ligament stem cels, stem cels from the apical papila were stained obviously deeper and had more mineralized nodules. These results show that stem cels from the apical papila have stronger proliferation capacity and mineralization ability than periodontal ligament stem cels.

Urinary tract infection complicated with urinary tract calculi( lithangiuria)is one of the most common diseases causing serious urinary sepsis and septic shock. Recent studies show that the accurate diagnosis,rational use of antibiotics and timely treatment of complications are the key to treatment success. In this article,the latest progress and the treatment strategies for urinary tract infections complicated with lithangiuria are explored.

AIM: To study the relationship between the disturbance of nitric oxide/endothelin-1(NO/ET-1) and hepatic ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury as well as the regulation of NO/ET-1 system by hepatic ischemic preconditioning(IPC). METHODS: The changes of NO/ET-1 system and their relationship with hepatic I/R injury were compared between I/R group and IPC+I/R group in a rat hepatic I/R model. Two hours after reperfusion, the liver tissues were detected by RT-PCR to see whether there was inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA expression. RESULTS:In the acute phase of hepatic reperfusion, the ratio of NO/ET-1 was reduced, which was due to a significant reduction of NO - 2/NO - 3 (the metabolic product of NO) and significant elevation of ET-1 in the blood plasma. The content of ALT, AST, LDH and TNF-? in blood plasma, and of MDA in liver tissue were increased but ATP in liver tissue was reduced, the hepatic damage was deteriorated. The protection of the hepatic IPC was concerned with the elevation of the ratio of NO/ET-1 caused by the elevation of NO - 2/NO - 3, and reduction of ET-1 as well. There was no iNOS mRNA detected in the liver tissues.CONCLUSION: Hepatic I/R injury is related to the disturbance of NO/ET-1. The protection of the hepatic IPC in the acute phase might be conducted by its regulation of NO/ET-1 system. The cNOS rather than the iNOS generated the NO in this situation.

Objective To study the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of solute carrier family 22 member 4 (SLC22A4) and SLC22A5 genes with Crhon's disease (CD) in Chinese Han nationality. Methods SNPs in the entire coding region of SLC22A4 and SLC22A5 genes were screened by direct DNA sequencing in 80 CD patients and 80 healthy subjects, and statistical in Han population.
