Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with multiple myeloma and their prognostic factors.Methods 100 multiple myeloma patients with age≥ 60 years and 100 multiple myeloma patients with age <60 years who admitted in our hospital from December 2007 to December 2015 were collected as research subjects.100 patients with age ≥60 years were divided into elderly multiple myeloma group,100 cases with aged <60 years were divided into non -elderly multiple myeloma group.The clinical data and laboratory results of two groups were compared,the prognosis factors in elderly patients with multiple myeloma were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of ISS stage Ⅰ -Ⅱ in elderly multiple myeloma group (45.0%)was lower than non -elderly multiple myeloma group (60.0%),the incidence rate of stage Ⅲ was higher than non -elderly multiple myeloma group (χ2 =4.511,P <0.05).The infection incidence of elderly multiple myeloma group(30.0%)was higher than non -elderly multiple myeloma group(15.0%)(χ2 =10.452,P <0.05 ).The hemoglobin,serum albumin contents of elderly multiple myeloma group [(83.7 ±19.8)g/L,(27.89 ±6.87)g/L]were less than non -elderly multiple myeloma group[(92.1 ±22.5)g/L,(33.15 ±7.69)g/L](t =4.297,4.426,all P <0.05).The calcium content,the propor-tion of bone marrow plasma cells,serum creatinine and blood β-microspheres protein levels of elderly multiple mye-loma group [(2.51 ±0.41)mmol/L,(39.43 ±18.64)%,(182.24 ±125.47)μmol/L,(9.02 ±6.24)mg/L]were higher than non -elderly multiple myeloma group [(2.36 ±0.48)mmol/L,(37.45 ±19.86)%,(143.25 ± 116.43)μmol/L,(5.87 ±3.41)mg/L](t =5.945,4.196,4.375,4.264,all P <0.05).The median survival time of elderly multiple myeloma patients were significantly correlated with the patients'age,the proportion of plasma cells in bone marrow,blood β2 -microglobulin,albumin,and ISS staging (χ2 =4.125,3.254,8.542,5.748,9.244,all P <0.05).Conclusion The condition of elderly myeloma patients is more serious,age,proportion of plasma cells in bone marrow,blood β2 -microglobulin,albumin and ISS stage affect myeloma patients prognosis.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of treating advanced esophageal carcinoma with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.Methods 36 cases with advanced esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into a eontrol group and a treatment group.The control group was treated with conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy,and the treatment group was treated with three-dimensional conforrnal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.The short-term effect,toxicity and long-term effect were observed,and cause of death was analyzed.Results The complete remission rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The toxicity of the treatment group was markedly decreased.One and three years'survival rate between the two groups had a significant difierent(P＜0.05),but five years'survival rate between the two groups had no significant difference(P＞0.05).Local uncontrolled rate and recurrence rate in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(p＜0.05).Conclusion The treatment of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine on advanced esophageal carcinoma was better than conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.

Objective To extract hyperoside from the leaves of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus by complex enzyme method, and optimize the extraction process by orthogonal experiment. Methods Hyperoside was determined by HPLC. Effects of temperature,α-amylase, neutral protease and cellulase on extraction rate were detected by the orthogonal tests, and the optimum extraction condition of hyperoside from the leaves of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus was determined by complex enzyme method. Results The main influence factor was temperature,follows byα-amylase, neutral protease and cellulase according to orthogonal analysis.The best condition was as follows: dose of cellulase, neutral protease and α-amylase was 2%, 0. 5% and 3%, respectively, extract at temperature of 30 ℃for 10 min. Under this condition, the extraction rate of hyperoside in the leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus was 0.52%. Conclusion As compared with the traditional technics, compound enzyme increases the productivity of hyperoside.

AIM　To study the activation of choline on M3-R in heart and observe the hemodynamic changes of rat and rabbit. METHODS　A cardiac catheter was inserted into the left ventricular cavity via the right carotid artery, then the HR, LVSP, LVEDP, and ±dp/dt were measured using a polygraph system. RESULTS　Choline was shown to decrease the hemodynamic assessments, such as HR, +dp/dt, LVSP and LVEDP. while the M3-R antagonist 4-DAMP (4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine-methiodide) showed little effect on these assessments. It was found to reverse the hemodynamic effects of choline. CONCLUSION M3 receptor agonist can produce negative inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart of rat and rabbit.

Objective To study the preventive effect of volatile oil extracted from Foeniculum vulgare Mill. Seeds on the formation of postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion. Methods Thirty-eihgt SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (10), operation group (14) and volatile oil treated group (14):sham operation group was only operated by abdominal incision, the rest two groups were established animal model of abdominal adhesion by rubbing the procussus vermiformis of cecum with dry sterile gauze, clamping and scuffing abdominal wall. Half of rats were separately killed on day 7 and day 14 after surgery, respectively.The degree of adhesion was evaluated according to Phillips 5-scale grade and the feature of this model. Results The scores of intra-abdominal adhesion were significantly lower in the carbachol group than those in operation group both on 7 d and 14 d(P＜0.01 ). Conclusion Volatile oil extracted from Foeniculum vulgare Mill. Seeds may take a significant role in the prevention of postoperative abdominal adhesion in rats.

This study was conducted to explore whether cholecystokinin-B/gastrin receptor (CCKBRwt) gene and its alternative splicing variant (CCKBRi4sv) are expressed in human gastric carcinomas cell line and tissues, and to find out their relationship with the development and progression of human gastric carcinoma. The mRNA expression levels of CCKBRwt and CCKBRi4sv were detected in 30 human gastric carcinomas and normal tissues adjacent to cancer, 10 gastritis specimens, 2 autopsied normal stomach specimens as well as in a gastric carcinoma cell line SGC-7901 cells. The results revealed that the transcripts of CCKBRwt and CCKBRi4sv were observed in all of the human gastric specimens tested, but only CCKBRwt was expressed in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 cells. The expression levels of the two receptors were not correlated with the differentiation and metastases of gastric cancers. From the results, we infer that human gastric tissues simultaneously express CCKBRwt and CCKBRi4sv, and CCKBRi4sv may have unknown physiological functions in gastric epithelial cells.

OBJECTIVETo observe the inhibitory effect of extract from Actinidia argutaor on in vivo and in vitro carcinomata, and explore its mechanism.

METHODThe in vivo S180 and H22 model were used to observe the effect of A. argutaor on inhibitory rate of carcinomata, organ relative weight of spleen and thymus gland and the release of tumor necrosis factor. A549 cells were exposed to extract from A. argutaor with different concentrations for 24, 48, 72 hours. MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibiting effects of extract from A. argutaor on the proliferation of the cells. Flow cytometry was applied to detect cell cycle.

RESULTThe inhibitory effects of the extracts on in vivo and in vitro carcinomata were observed, the inhibitory rate for S180 and H22 line was 33.32% and 34.62% respectively. The extracts could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells during G0-G1 period and significantly decrease the cell ratio of S stage.

CONCLUSIONThe extracts from A. argutaor showed a good antineoplastic activity.
