Objective: To investigate the chemo-sensitivity enhancing effect and its major active mechanism of Shengmai Injection (SMI). Methods: MTT assay was used to determine the chemo-sensitivity enhancing activity of SMI combined with various current- used chemotherapeutic drugs. Flow cytometry was conducted to determine the effect of Epirubicin combined with SMI on the cell cycle distribution and apoptotic cell death, and the mRNA expression level of MDR-1 gene was determined by RT-PCR. Results: SMI (30 μL/mL) combined with gemcitabine, cisplatin, paclitaxel, and Epirubicin exihibited the potent antiproliferative effects on human lung carcinoma A549, gastric carcinoma SGC-7901, breast carcinoma MCF-7, and hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 cell lines, respectively. SMI showed the most significant enhancing effects on HepG-2 cells in combination with Epirubicin, and the sensitivity of HepG-2 to Epirubicin was increased by 16 fold. Whereas SMI (30 μL/mL) alone did not affect the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of HepG-2 cells, it enhanced the cellular responses when combined with Epirubincin together with a down-regulated mRNA level of MDR-1 gene. Conclusion: SMI combined with the different chemotherapeutic drugs could enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells significantly via down-regulating the mRNA expression level of MDR-1 and the expression of P-glucoprotein with the excretion of drugs.

Pancreatic surgery has achieved substantial improvement in recent years,which was indicated by the continuous decrease of its mortality and morbidity.However,the over-all 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer patients has not been significantly improved,and puzzles together with controversies remain in the field of surgical treatment for this devastating disease.Clinical outcomes of pancreatic cancer patients remain poor,which we thought would largely explained by the extremely malignant biological behavior of pancreatic cancer.In this review,we also focused on the frequently discussed themes in the field of surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer.These themes include differential diagnosis for pancreatic head mass,preoperative biliary drainage for jaundice patients,value of R0/R1 resection for pancreatic cancer,pancreatic fistula and delayed gastric emptying after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective To review the effect of neoadjavunt chemotherapy on advanced gastric carcinoma.Methods The CNKI,CBM,VIP and PubMed online databases of clinical study about neoadjavunt chemotherapy in treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma were searched,according to inclusion and exclusion criteria for pooling of essay and Jadad scale was used.Revman software (version 4.2) was used to undertake Meta analysis for evaluating the overall effectiveness.Results Sixteen compared clinical study,1937 patients in total had been included.The results showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was higher than conventional surgery group on radical resection rate and survival rate (OR =1.900,95％ CI1.30-2.77,P ＜ 0.01 for radical resection rate,OR =1.83,95％ CI 1.43-2.33,P ＜ 0.01 for survival rate)and neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was lower than conventonal surgery group on palliation resection rate (OR =0.54,95％ CI 0.33-0.88,P=0.01).But there was no significant difference on pathological stage betwee two groups (OR =1.03,95％ CI 0.62-1.73,P =0.90).Conclusions Existing clinical evidence suggest that neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve the rate of radical resection and survival.But selection bias due to the existence of including studies and the possibility of measurement bias can affect the outcome of argument strength.So looking forward to more high-quality,randomized and double-blind controlled trial to provide higher quality evidence to guide the rationalization of clinical medicine is work in clinical search.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of suprapubic transvesial prostatectomy for the treatment of patients with large volume and high-risk benign prostatic hypertrophy in basic hospital.Methods The clinical datas of 85 patients with large volume and high-risk benign prostatic hypertrophy for suprapubic transvesial prostatectomy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The operating time,intra-operative blood loss,the mean bladder irrigating time,catheration time,hospital stay and operative complications were observed.The indices such as IPSS,QOL,Omax and PVR were recorded preoperatively,and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.Results The mean operating time was (63.5 ± 18.2) min,the intra-operative blood loss was (121.3 ± 10.6) ml,the mean bladder irrigating time was (4.2 ±0.6)days,the catheration time was (5.1 ± 1.7) days and the hospital stay was (7.8 ±2.3)days.At 6 and 12 months postoperatively,IPSS,OOL,Omax and PRV were significantly different compared with those preoperatively(all P ＜0.05).There were few complications and great patients satisfaction with the post-operative results.Conclusion suprapubic transvesial prostatectomy for the treatment of patients with large volume and high-risk benign prostatic hypertrophy has significant advantages of good safety,simple operation,reliable efficacy in basic hospital.It is an effective and alternative method.

How to make a surgeon? It's not an easy question to answer for some of the graduates with doctor degree (Ph.D.).Because the lack of systemic training and stringent qualification exams in the filed of surgery in our country,Ph.D.need to improve their clinical ability and also shift their roles when they are entering the world of surgery.In this article,the author would like to discuss the way to help Ph.D.in accelerating their changing process from a Ph.D.to a capable confident surgeon based on the author's personal experience.Ph.D.are suggested to improve themselves in the following ways:study like a humble student,learn how to improve oneself through observation,practice diligently on basic technique skills,be brave in surgical practicing,read and write as much as you can,and last but not least cultivate your professionalism.

The damage of airway epithelial cell in asthma including epithelial cells differentiated into goblet cell, mucous cells metaplasia, which lead to the extracellular matrix increasing, airway walls fibrosis and mucus high secretion. There are many cytokines, growth factors, signal transduction pathways and gene regulating this process.Neuroendocrine cell plays a very important role in the immune adjustment.The repairing process of airway epithelial cells after damaged is a complicated process and affected by many factors.
