Drug control-released carriers are effective to control the dosage and selective release of the drugs in vivo.They have low toxicity,small administration dosage,good biological availability,stability and long half-life period.Drug control-released carriers can be divided into biodegradable high molecular polymer and nano-magnetic materials.High molecular polymer materials mainly comprise polylactic acid copolymer and chitosan,which are nontoxic,harmless,well-biocompatible and completely absorbable,the metabolite has no toxicity.In combination with the chemotherapeutics,the resultant microspheres exhibit good control-released property.Using nano-Fe as magnetic response material,magnetic microspheres wrap the magnetic ultrafine powder and antitumor drug into human albumin or other high molecular substances,so as to prepare a microsphere carrying anticancer drugs of magnetic responseness.It is a new way of target treatment of malignant tumor that target administration is performed in magnetic field in vitro.Although drug control-released carriers have obtained great achievements,clinical application of pharmaceutical preparation is restricted,thus it is a potential study on the target drug control-released system to enhance the design and preparation technology,research and develop a new drug carrier,and prepare intelligent control-released system.

Objective To study the relationship between the expression of p16 protein and the biological behavour of thyroid tumor. Methods The expression of p16 protein was examined in fifty cases of thyroid tumor by immunohistochemical staining technique(SABC method). The relationship between p16 protein expression and tumor size, pathological type, differention grading and clinical stage of thyroid tumors were analysed. Results In thyroid adenoma, p16 protein expression was detected in 13 out of 15 cases(86.7%); in thyroid carcinoma p16 protein was expressed only in 16 out of 35 cases(45.7%), the difference was significant(P

A total of 17 cases (30 eyes) of glaucoma were tested for their contrast sensitivity (CS) with the VCTS 6000, without or with yellow or red filter lens. Test results showed that 1) the glaucoma patients′ CS curve was depressed at all the five spatial frequencies (1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 18 cycle/degree) tested; 2) the decrease was most significant at the 12 cycle/degree (e/d), which made the CS curve look like having a notch (v shaped); 3) the peak shifted to the left. Yellow filter lens could signifi-cantly increase the glaucoma patients′CS at 1.5, 3 and 6 c/d, especially at the peak (3c/d), leading to facilitation of mobility and adaptability in daily life. The red filter lens could improve CS at the peak but it decreased CS at 6, 12 and 18c/d, so it seemed that the red filter lens could not improve the visual function.

Objective To explore the pathologic feature of children with kidney disease.Methods A retrospective analysis on renal bio-psy findings in 246 cases of children patients.Pathological classification was made according to the modified WHO criteria of 1995 for renal pathology.Results Of the 246 children,104 cases were diagnosed as primary glomerulonephritis,accounting for 42.28% of the total cases,136 cases as secondary glomerulonephritis,accounting for 42.28%,3 cases as hereditary nephritis,accounting for 1.22%,and 3 cases as unclassified renal disease,accounting for 1.22%.In primary glomerulonephritis,66 cases were diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome,23 cases as persistent glomeruloneplritis,8 cases as acute nephritis syndrome,3 cases as chronic nephritis syndrome,2 cases as isolated proteinuria,1 case as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis,1 case as isolated hematuria.IgA nephropathy was the most frequent pathological type,accounting for 15.85%(39 cases),followed by mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis,minimal change disease,endocapillary proliferative glomerulinephritis,IgM nephropathy,membranous nephropathy,focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,and minor lesion nephropathy.In secondary glomerulonephritis,Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis accounting for 48.37%(119 cases),followed by hepatitis B virus associated nephritis(11 cases) and lupus nephritis(6 cases).In hereditary nephritis,there were 2 cases with thin glomerular basement disease and 1 case with Alport syndrome.Conclusions Among the 246 cases of renal biopsy data,the secondary glomerulonephritis,especially Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis,is more common than primary glomerulonephritis.In primary glomerular diseases,IgA nephropathy is the most frequent pathological type.

AIM: To quantify cyclooxygenase - 2 (COX - 2) mRNA in carcinoma of larynx and evaluate the correlation between the quantity of COX - 2 mRNA and clinical staging or histological grade. METHODS: The expression of COX - 2mRNA in 30 cases of carcinoma of larynx tissue and adjacent non - cancerous tissues were evaluated by PCR, which includes a fluorescence dye , SYBR green Ⅰ , and the sequence specific primer. The GAPDH was used as control. RESULTS: The specificity of products was proved to be COX - 2 and GAPDH by the analysis of the melting curve of the amplified products and agarose gel electrophoresis. The expression of COX - 2 mRNA was detected in all cancerous tissues of 30 patients (100%), but only in 12 adjacent non - cancerous tissues of 30 patients (40%). The NCOX value of carcinoma of larynx tissue and adjacent non - cancerous tissues was 16.54 ± 13.27 and 9.24 ± 6.91, respectively, and the expression levels of COX- 2 mRNA elevated significantly in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and there were significant correlation between the expression levels of COX - 2mRNA and clinical stage or histological grade. CONCLUSION: The expression of COX - 2 mRNA in carcinoma of larynx can be determined by real - time PCR technique. An increase in COX - 2 mRNA may be associated with carcinogenesis of carcinoma of larynx, and it may be useful as a biomarker in laryngeal cancer.

Anatomical hepatic segmentectomy is the treatment of choice for hepatolithiasis. However, in consideration of the volume of residual liver and the liver function, anatomical polysegmentectomy of the bilateral lobes for hepatolithiasis is restricted. Protection of the portal pedicles to the segments preserved and avoidance of ischemia/reperfusion injury to the residual liver parenchyma are critical steps during the operation.A female patient with hepatolithiasis and had a surgical history of choledocholithiasis removal and T-tube drainage received ana tomic polysegmentectomy with segments Ⅰ and Ⅳ preservation at the General Hospital of Kunming Medical College. During the operation, Portal pedicles to the segments Ⅰ , Ⅱ, right lobe,and segments Ⅱ and Ⅲ were isolated prior to liver parenchyma transection. Portal pedicles to segments Ⅰ and Ⅳ were protected under direct visualization. Hepatoduodenal ligament occlusion was not applied during liver parenchyma transaction. Segments Ⅱ- Ⅲ and Ⅴ-Ⅷ were anatomically resected, and segments Ⅰ ,Ⅳ were preserved with satisfactory vascularization. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 14 days after the operation.

Objective To evaluate the value of dynamic grey-scale enhanced ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors.Methods Twenty-four patients with 25 hepatic solid lesions were examined by dynamic enhanced ultrasonography with a bolus injection of Levovist (400 mg/ml). Results All lesions were confirmed by operation and pathology, including 16 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), 3 hepatic hemangiomas (HCH), 1 inflammatory pseudotumor of liver (IPL), 2 focal nodular hyperplasias (FNH) and 3 angiomyolipomas (AML). Twenty-five lesions were variously enhanced on grey-scale ultrasonogram after injection of Levovist except for IPL. The lesions with HCCs were enhanced early in the arterial phase and disappeared quickly in portal phase. The lesions with HCHs were enhanced slowly in the peripheral region of the lesion. The FNH and AML were also enhanced early in arterial phase, but disappeared slowly in delay phase. If the hepatic lesions showed the earlier enhancement in arterial phase and fast disappearance in portal phase on contrast enhanced ultrasonogram were regarded as a criterion of malignant tumor, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy with contrast enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of hepatic malignant tumor were 94%(15/16),89%(8/9)and 92%(23/25), respectively. Conclusions The dynamic grey-scale enhanced ultrasonography is a useful technique in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors.
