Preparations of cell-free supernatant from Rous sarcoma "?????" were inocu-lated onto the chorio-allantoic membranes (CAM) of the chick embryos of 7--9 days in-cubation. The inoculated portions of the CAM were removed at various intervals from6 hours to 10 days afterwards. The tissues were fixed in Carnoy's solution and werestained with methyl green-pyronin for nucleic acid, Alcian blue-hematoxylin or Alcianblue-alum cochineal for acid polysaccharide and toluidine blue for metachromatic reac-tion. The pathogenesis of the Rous sarcoma of the inoculated CAM and the histo-chemical reaction of the nucleic acid and acid polysaccharide have been followed by his-tological examinations. Recognizable macroscopic lesions consisting of membrane opacity, focal thickening,oedema and discrete nodules in the inoculated CAM appeared from the first day on-ward. Distinctive hemorrhagic lesions and pocks were observed on the 3rd to the 5thday. Tumor masses of different sizes appeared from the 7th to the 9th day. In casethe CAM were inoculated with horse serum-saline, no or only slight reaction was ob-served, and the normal thickness and structures of the CAM were generally maintained. Three successive stages of the Rous sarcoma on the inoculated CAM weredistinguished: (1) Focal ecto-mesodermal proliferation with formation of earlytumor-like nodules; (2) Extreme ectodermal hyperplasia and early mesodermalsarcoma-like proliferation; (3) Ectodermal necrosis and extensive malignant growthof the mesodermal neoplastic cells. The fibroblasts, pyroninophilic round cells andthe ectodermal cells were the main types of cells concerned in the developmentof tumors following infection of the CAM Rous virus. The fibroblasts transformedinto tumor cells and became the most conspicuous elements of the Rous sarcoma. Thepyroninophilic round cells were considered to be belonging to the basophilic myelocyteseries, according to their morphological and staining characteristics. Their possible rolein the tumor infiltration was discussed. The intensity of the nucleic acid in the CAM cells increased along with the increaseof histopathological changes at the inoculated area of the membrane. The possible sig-nificance of their parallel relationship was discussed. Alcian blue staining of the growing tumor tissue demonstrated the presence of acidpolysaccharide reaction in the ground substance. The intensity increased with the increaseof the malignancy of the neoplastic cells. This material is non-metachromatic whenstained with toluidine blue and could be removed by treatment with testicular hyaluroni-dase for 3--5 hours. The mucin present is considered to be of a hyaluronic acid nature.

Objective To investigate the relationship between obesity parameters and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in aircrew. Methods A questionnaire survey in aircrew members was performed. Outcome measurement included body height, body weight, neck circumference ( NC), waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI). Those with snoring during sleep and/or Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS)score ≥ 9 were screened with pulse oxygen saturation test during overnight sleep. Those with oxygen saturation decrease index ≥ 10 times/h and suspected OSAHS were tested by polysomnography (PSG). The objects were then assigned to three groups: the OSAHS group,the snore group and the normal group. The relationship between obesity parameters and OSAHS was analyzed. Results There were 399 ( 37. 54% ) overweight, 36 ( 3. 39% ) obesity, 130 ( 12. 23% ) increased NC, and 354 (33.30%)increased WC in 1063 aircrew members (OSAHS group ＞ snore group ＞ normal group; P＜O. 05). The mean value of BMI, NC and WC in the three groups were dittos. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that overweight, obesity and increased WC were significantly associated with snoring (P ＜0.05) and snoring enlarged NC was significantly correlated with OSAHS (P＜ 0.05). Conclusion Increased BMI, NC and WC may be risk factors of OSAHS among aircrew. Effective prevention and treatment of OSAHS should be needed.

Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is critical during embryonic development. Recent studies have shown that Hh sig-naling plays an important role in oncogenesis and development of many malignant tumors. In particular, activation of the Hh signaling pathway is implicated in the aggressiveness and progression of gastric cancer. This review provides an overview of the research prog-ress on the role of Hh pathway in gastric cancer. Investigation of this pathway may reveal a novel target for gastric cancer therapy.

Objective In recent years , SIT has gradually become the main way for the treatment of allergic rhinitis .To con-trast the clinical efficacy of specific immune therapy for one year and two years of allergic rhinitis and discuss the appropriate mainte -nance treatment time of subcutaneous immunotherapy with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus . Methods Ninety-eight patients with al-lergic rhinitis to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus were allocated to receive either treatment for one year (A group, n=46) or treatment for two years(B group, n=52).Nasal symptoms and medication scores of two groups were assessed to evaluate the clinical efficacy af -ter treatment respectively , and evaluate the quality of life of patients . Results There was no statistical significance in nasal symptom and medication scores between the two groups after one year treatment (7.00 ±1.08 vs 6.63 ±0.79, 1.50 ±0.51 vs 0.41 ±0.42, P>0.05).The quality of life in patients with decreased , but lack of statistical significance (345.00 ±31.89 vs 344.42 ±32.26, P>0.05).It presented statistical significance in nasal symptom and medication scores between the two groups after two years treatment (6.20 ±0.78 vs 4.29 ±0.64, 0.53 ±0.43 vs 0.21 ±0.34, P<0.05).The quality of life between patients also presented statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with A group, B group can significantly alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis , so we think the optimal maintenance treatment time of specific immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis should be at least 2 years.

Objective To establish rat model of type 2 diabetes through a single subcutaneous injection of lipopolysaccharide which induced chronic inflammation.Methods The male Wistar rats(n = 30)were randomly divided control group (n = 10)and model group (n=20).Model group with LPS (300 μg·kg-1 ·day-1 )subcutaneous injection of eight weeks,rats in control group received isometric stroke-physiological saline solution injection in the same way.The changes in appearance,weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG)of rats were observed every week.At the end of the 8th week,thelevels of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-α), interleukin-1(IL-1),interleukin-6 (IL-6),monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1)and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured.Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)and insulin release test(IRT)were also performed.The successful rat model was determined by the standards that FBG was ≥11.1 mmol/L.Results Model group rats reached the standard of type 2 diabetes after six weeks of LPS injection.Model group blood sugar is significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05).In addition,model group′s expression level of inflammatory cytokines in serum TNF-α,IL-1,IL-6,MCP-1 and FINS were significantly higher than control group (P <0.05).Oral glucose tolerance test,blood glucose levels higher than normal in model group,the insulin peak is lower than the normal group (P <0.05).Conclusion The success of establishing the animal model of type 2 diabetic rats which were injected of low dose of LPS by subcutaneous may be provide certain help for the etiology of diabetes research.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism and re-ablation of recurrent atrial arrhythmias after atrial fibrillation(AF) ablation by utilizing the Carto system and double LASSO technique.Methods A total of 77 AF patients were enrolled and among them,56 with paroxysmal AF and 21 with persistent AF.Eight-F Swartz long sheaths were positioned in the left atrium by transseptal technique.One to two LASSO catheters were placed in the ipsilateral pulmonary veins(PV).The anatomy of the left atrium and PV was established using the Carto system.PV selective venography was carried out to identify the PV ostium.Continuous circular lesions(CCL) were made at the left atrium at 0.5 to 1.0 cm outside the PV ostium.Irrigated radiofrequecy energy was delivered in all the patients.The end point of the CCL was defined as absence of all PV spikes documented with LASSO catheters within the ipsilateral PVs.Results A repeat ablation was performed in 14 patients who experienced highly symptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmia.During the repeat procedures,conduction gaps in the previous CCL were found in 13 out of the 14 patients,and a typical atrial flutter was found in the other patient which was eliminated by ablation of the tricuspid isthmus.During the second procedure,pulmonary vein tachycardia was demonstrated in 7 patients.The pulmonary vein tachycardia activated the LA via the conduction gaps.All conduction gaps were successfully ablated by irrigated RF applications.After the second procedure,12 out of the 14 patients were free of AF during 3 to 30 months of follow-up.Conclusion Continuous circular lesions(CCL) in the left atrium utilizing the Carto system and double LASSO technique had a high success.In patients with recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmia after CCLs,recovered PV conduction is a main cause for the recurrence.
