Background and purpose:Resistance to anticarcinogen is one of the key factors that affect the treatment efficiency in lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of the multidurg resistance-related proteins P-gp, multidrug resistance-related proteins(MRP),lung resistance associated protien(LRP) and GST-?by detecting their expression in lung cancer and to investigate the mechanism of resistance to anticarcinogen. Methods:S-P immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression level of proteins P-gp, MRP, LRP and GST- ?in 226 samples of lung cancer and 23 samples of normal lung tissues. Results:The positive rates of P-gp, MRP, LRP and GST-? in lung cancers were 46.0%, 42.0%, 54.4%, 62.4% respectively. Significant difference existed between tumorous tissue and normal lung tissue (17.4%, 13.0%, 17.4%, 21.7%). The positive rates of P-gp, MRP, LRP and GST-? in poorly differentiated-type of NSCLC were 33.3%, 22.8%, 33.3%, 47.4%, compared with differentiated-type of NSCLC (59.7%, 58.1%, 73.6%, 79.1%) (P

Objective To investigate the features of brainstem auditoryresponses (BAR) in patients with attention deficit and hyperactive disorder (ADHD), mental retardation and conduct disorder. Methods BAR in children with ADHD ( n =37), mental retardation (MR, n =24) and conduct disorder (CD, n =22), and in normal children ( n =30) were measured by use of Nicolet Spirit electrophysiological instrument delivering stimulation of Clicks. Results The absolute latencies (AL) of wave Ⅲ、Ⅴ recorded from Fz region (WⅢ、Ⅴ/Fz) and wave Ⅲ from Pz region (WⅢ/Pz) as well as the absolute amplitudes (AA) of WⅢ/Fz and WⅤ/Pz were significantly different ( P

Objective To investigate the clinical application of various parameters of visual evoked potential (VEP) and auditory evoked potential (AEP) in patients with attention deficit and hyperactive disorder (ADHD), mental retardation (MR) and conduct disorder (CD). Methods Thirty-seven ADHD patients, 24 MR patients, 22 CD patients and 36 normal subjects were included in this study. The VEP and AEP were recorded from every subject and analyzed. Results A significant difference was found among 4 subject groups, with both latencies (Oz/N_1, P_2) and amplitudes of VEP (Cz/P_2, P_3 and Oz/P_3 ) (P
