The equipment development for emergency medical aid station of the Armed Police applies modern medical science and technology as well as management system.Based on the functional necessity,it accords with the theory of wartime health service support and draws on the experience of anti-terrorism struggle in foreign countries.It realizes serialization,modularizaion and motorization.This paper mainly introduces the development background,systematical structure and functional characteristics of the equipment for the emergency medical aid station.

BACKGROUNDDrug-resistance of tumor is the main reason of the failure of che-motherapy. Much attention has been paid to the expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) and its mechanism of drug-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Results of this research will contribute to reversing drug-resistance and improving curative effect. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between the expression of MRP and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in patients with NSCLC.

METHODSExpression of MRP was detected in 62 cases of paraffin-embedded NSCLC samples by streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase complex immunohistochemistry method, as well as in 30 fresh cases of NSCLC samples and corresponding normal lung tissues by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.

RESULTSMRP expression of NSCLC tissues was significantly higher than that of normal lung tissues. The survival time of patients with negative MRP expression was (69.81±17.41) months, and that of patients with positive MPR expression was (25.38±4.46) months (P=0.0156). This statistically significant relationship between the survival time and prognosis was also showed in squamous cell carcinoma patients (P=0.015), but not in adenocarcinoma. Multivariate COX model analysis suggested that the survival time was significantly related to lymphatic metastasis (P=0.038) and expression of MRP (P=0.035).

CONCLUSIONSMRP expression in NSCLC is significantly higher than that in the normal lung tissues. The mean survival time of patients with negative MRP expression is remarkably longer than that of patients with positive MRP expression. MRP expression may be an independent prognostic factor.

BACKGROUNDTo study the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 proteins and mRNA in NSCLC and to analyse their relations with prognosis.

METHODSImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) were used to detect the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 proteins and mRNA in pa-raffin-embedded NSCLC specimens.

RESULTSThere were no significant differences among the MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 expression and age, sex, histological type and differentiation. There was statistical relationship between expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and lymph node metastasis. Multivariate Cox model analysis suggested that the survival time was significantly related to lymph node metastasis, expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The results of IHC and ISH suggested that the concordant rates of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 proteins and mRNA were of statistical significance (P < 0.01,P < 0.005,P < 0.025).

CONCLUSIONSMMP-2 and MMP-9 are independent factors that affect prognosis, TIMP-1 is an useful parameter to the prognosis of NSCLC.
