Operation is always thought to be the soul way to cure hepatocelluar carcinoma(HCC),but there are only 30% patients who have the opportunity to receive the operation.Transcatheter hepatic arterial cheomoembolization is the most extensive non-surgery approach to treat hepatocelluar carcinoma which also has a lot of shortcoming and limitation.It is common sense that enhancement of effectiveness of liver cancer therapy largely depends on the combined therapy.

Background and purpose:Epirubicin is one of the fi rst line chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of breast cancer, and liposome doxorubicin is a new antitumor drug that has been reported to have less cardiotoxicity and myelosuppression compared to free doxorubicin. Dentritic cells (DC) play important roles in tumor immunity. Our experiment investigated the impacts of epirubicin and liposome doxorubicin on different human breast cancer cell lines and dentritic cells, and evaluated their roles in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods:Human breast cancer cell lines, Bcap37 and MDA-MB-231, along with human dentritic cells isolated and induced into maturation, were cultured with epirubicin and liposome adriamycin at different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 10.0 ?g/ml), respectively. The inhibitory effects were detected by MTT method after 24, 48, 72 h. Results:Epirubicin and liposome adriamycin could inhibit the proliferation of Bcap37 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells, and human dentritic cells. Liposome adriamycin exhibited a lighter inhibition on dentritic cells than on human breast cancer cell lines (Bcap37 and MDA- MB-231) (F=22.208, P

The long noncoding RNAs refers to RNA transcripts more than 200 nucleotides in length,and do not encode proteins.In the end of the 20th century,the lncRNAs were found to play crucial role in many important biological processes,including embryonic development,cell differentiation,species evolution,metabolism,and disease occurrence by the scientific community.Currently,multiple studies have indicated that long noncoding RNAs have participated in rheumatic diseases,immune response,immune cell differentiation,and dynamic balance of the immune system.Therefore,summary of the roles of lncRNAs in rheumatic diseases could be beneficial to understand the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.This review article attempts to highlight the recent progresses regarding IncRNAs studies and the relationship between long noncoding RNA and rheumatic diseases by taking systemic lupus erythematosus,rheumatoid arthritis,arthritis and other typical diseases as examples.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ropivacaine and bupivacaine on energy supply and mitochondrial oxidation phosphorylation of isolated rabbit heart muscle in order to compare the cardiotoxicity of the two local anestheties and explain the mechanism Methods Twenty four New Zealand rabbits weighing (2135?345)g were randomly divided into three groups of 8 animals each: control group(C); ropivacaine group(R) and bupivacaine group (B) The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal urethane 2g?kg -1 and heparinized (heparin 4mg?kg -1 ) Heart was quickly removed and connected to Langendoff preparation and perfused with oxygenated Krebs Henseleit buffer solution at normothermia(37℃) via aorta After 15 min perfusion, ropivacaine (group R) or bupivacaine(group B) was added to perfusate(500ng?ml -1 ) The heart was then perfused for another 10 min Myocardial tissue was taken from ventricle for determination of ATP, ADP and AMP content with high performance liquid chromatography Myocardial mitochondria was prepared and its oxidation of pyruvate and palmitoylcarnitine was measured using Clark electrode Results Myocardial ATP and ADP decreased significantly in group R and B as compared with those in group C The decrease in ATP and ADP in group B was more than that in group R (P

The rate of stroke has been rising year by year and become the world's major cause of mortality and disability. The high rate of disability did not only bring economical burden to society and family, but also induce psychological damage to patients. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a most common mental complications of stroke. In recent years, More and more attentions have been paid to PSD. This article reviewed the cause and mechanism of PSD and the treatment with Chaihu Shugan Powder on it.

Objective To investigate the risks of HBV infection among the spouses of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg)carriers and to find out effective control strategies on hepatitis B control and prevention .Methods To use case-control study(1∶2) including spouses of HBsAg carriers aged 18 -59 years-old from the nationwide sero-epidemiological survey for Hepatitis B in Chonqing province in 2005 ,and the spouses of the healthy(HBsAg negative persons)as the control groups ,adopt euzymelinked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA) to carry out the sero-epidemiological testing (HBsAg ,anti-HBc ,anti-HBs) for Hepatitis B .Results The posi-tive rate of HBsAgamong the spouses of HBsAg carriers (14 .8% ) was higher than the rate of spouse among the healthy (7 .5% ) , with difference statistically significant (P<0 .01) ,the positive rate of HBsAg in female spouse was uptrend as the marriage age grown ,multiple factor analysis found that the risks of HBV infection among the spouses were their spouse with HBsAg and without condom when the sexual behavior .Conclusion The spouses of HBsAg carriers have high risks of HBV .Premarital examinations , safety sexual behaviors with condom ,timely hepatitis B vaccination etc .are helpful for the spouses of HBsAg carriers free of hepati-tis B virus ,especially female spouses should insist on using condom when the sexual behavior because of them easier to be infected by the hepatitis B virus .

Objective To sum up the experience of a large-scale aero transportation of mass casualties away from the quake-hit region to distant cities,and to provide reference for medical transportation of mass casualties.Method The study analyzed the aero medical transportation of 3 482 casualties from quake-hit region treated in West China Hospital of Siehuan University and other seven hospitals in Sichuan Province to other provinces from 22 May 2008 to 3 June 2008.The influencing factors of aero medical transportation were discussed,including selection standard of patients,preparation of staff and mcterials before transportation,management during transportation.The selection standards were:patients with stable condition after orthopedic operation and craniocerebral operation,and patients with passage of gas by anus after abdominal operation 5 days.Results Total of 3 482 casualties were transported in 99 times to 19 cities including Guangzhou,Shanghai,Shenyang,only 8 victims felt a little bit uncomfortable during flight,and recovered soon after management.Conclusions Total of 3 482 patients were safely transported.Strict selection of patients,comprehensive planning and monitoring,and psychotherapy are important for aero medical transfer.

Objective] To observe the clinical effect of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction on treating children functional abdominal pain to offer reference for further observation. [Method] Choose 200 children patients in pediatric outpatient department of Changxing County TCM Hospital, randomly divide them into treatment and control groups in order, n=100. The treatment one was administered revised Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, the control one orally took Medilac-Vita; both for 4 courses, then observe the cure effects. [Result] In treatment group, total effective rate 94.00%; for control one, it was 86.00%. The comparison of both had difference of statistical meaning( P<0.05). On comparing their abdominal pain relieve, in treatment group, there's more in first 2w and showed marked summit value in the first week; while in control one, there's no marked summit value; so the treatment group was more obvious than other one on relieving pain in the first 2w(P<0.05). The side effect occurrence rate of treatment group was less than other one, the difference between them had statistical meaning(P<0.05). [Conclusion] The revised Saoyao Gancao Decoction has marked cure effect on children functional abdominal pain, worth clinical promotion.
