Liver metastases is the independent risk factor of prognosis of colorectal cancer.In this article we summarized the research about the mechanism of colorectal liver metastases over the latest five years.Studies showed that the specific cell adhesive interaction in metastatic target organs plays an important role in metastases. The metastatic procedure call be roughly assigned to:escape,adhesion,invasion,survival and proliferation.The interactions between tumor cells and nonparenchymal cens in the liver lead to tumor growth.Tumor micro-environ ment is characterized by the lack of oxygen,inflammation,immune suppression,meanwhile,the role played by cell factors in the tumor micro-environment can not be ignored.

Objective To detect the expression of CD70 in peripheral T lymphocytes of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the effect of azacitidine, an inhibitor of DNA methylation, on it. Methods Blood samples were obtained from 10 patients with active SLE (SLEDAI score ≥5), 10 patients with nonactive SLE (SLEDAI score < 5) and 10 normal human controls. Peripheral T lymphocytes were isolated and cultured for 72 hours. A part of the T lymphocytes from normal controls, which were cultured in the presence of azacitidine at 1 mol/L, served as the methylation-inhibited group. Semiquantitative reverse transcription PCR and flow cytometry were applied to detect the mRNA expression of CD70 and frequency of CD70+CD4+ cells in the cultured lymphocytes, respectively. Results The frequency of CD70+CD4+ lymphocytes was 14.55%±5.49% in normal control group, 85.25%±14.08% in active SLE group, 77.65% ±18.77% in nonactive SLE group, and 81.54%±8.71% in methylation-inhibited group. Compared with the normal control group, a significant increase was observed in both the frequency of CD70+CD4+ lymphocytes (all P < 0.01) and the expression of CD70 expression (all P < 0.05) in other three groups. There was a positive correlation between the frequency of peripheral CD70+CD4+ lymphocytes and disease activity of SLE in patients (r = 0.72, P < 0.05). Conclusions The elevated expression of CD70 appears to play a significant role in the immunologic disarrangement in SLE, and may act as a indicator of disease activity of this disease.

Five non-anesthetized dogs were intravenously infused with 4% pyrithione at a constant rate of 2 ml per minute for 5 min.During the course of treatment,experimental animals had salivation, nausea, vomiting, urination and defecation. In according with the accumulation of infused drug,the symptoms got worse and worse progressively. Finally, convulsion and respiratory failure appeared and death occured due to heart arrest. One hour after infusion and just before death, the concentration of pyrithione in the blood was 341? 180?g/ml and 657?158?g/ml respectively.The average accumulative lethal dose of pyrithione by intravenous infusion was 0.77?0.07 g/kg for dogs.

A cDNA library prepared from human liver was screened for Factor Ⅶ,a clotting factor in the middle phase of blood coagulation,with P114.12 probe.3 recombinant phages were distinguished,and one of the 3recom-binants was further analyzed and extended by 450 bp as compared with the p114.12 probe.The clone 1 (FⅧhc1) was sequenced and homology between 210 bp of FⅧhc1 and 5559-5769 in FⅧ cDNA was found.It was shown that the FⅧhc1 extended forwardly 800~900bp from 17 exon of FⅧ cDNA.

Objective To study the effects of permissive hypercapnia (PHC)on cardiovascular system, oxygen metabolism and gastrointestinal function with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Methods In 18 sheep with LPS induced ARDS, hemodynamics, oxygen metabolism and gastrointestinal intramucosal pH(pHi)were observed at different tidal volume(V T).Results PHC was induced by decreasing V T from 16 ml/kg to 4 7ml/kg.Compared with those at V T 16 ml/kg, cardiac index decreased significantly in PHC (P

Objective To study the clinical nursing significance of ECG monitor in primary PCI for AMI patients and the relation of changes in ECG and the reperfusion of infarction related artery.Methods Regressional analysis was made in ECG changes including different types of arrthymia,degree of ST segment regression,and their relation between the reperfusion of infarction related artery before and after interventional therapy in AMI patients.Results In 468 AMI patients,142 patients had ventricular arrhythmia before therapy.After interrentional therapy,285 patients were co-morbid with accelerated ventricular tachycardia,203 patients with transient ventricular tachycardia or R-on-T phenomenon,62 patients with ventricular fibrillation and received asynchronous electriacal cardioversion.Twenty four patients had new onsent of Ⅱ-Ⅲ degree atrio-ventricular block and 45 patients had bradycardia or sinus arrest.The atrio-ventricular blook in 10 patients before PCI disappeared after the operation.There are 301 patients with apparent ST segment regression(ST segment regressed ≥50%,57 patients with partial ST segment regression,and 29 patients without ST segment changes.Conclusion Arrhythmias always accompanied with IRA reperfusion.Careful monitoring of ECG is essential for patients' safety after AMI.Obvious ST segment is observed in sufficient IRA reperfusion.However,poor regression of ST segment as well as haemodynamics disorder and cardiogenic shock is observed in patients with poor reperfusion or subacute occlusion of IRA.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in the clinical efficacy on perennial allergic rhinitis between three nasal points acupuncture therapy and the oral administration of loratadine so as to provide the better acupuncture program in clinical treatment.

METHODSSixty cases were randomized into an acupuncture group (30 cases) and a medication group (30 cases). In the acupuncture group, acupuncture was applied to three nasal points [Yingxiang (LI 20), Yintang (EX-HN 3), Bitong (Extra)] and acupoints selected by syndrome differentiation. Acupuncture was given once every two days, three times a week, for 4 weeks totally. In the medication group, loratadine was prescribed for oral administration, 10 mg every day, for 4 weeks. The symptom and physical sign scores before and after treatment, as well the short-term and long-term efficacy were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe total effective rate was 96.7% (29/30) in the acupuncture group and was 93.3% (28/30) in the medication group after treatment. The efficacy was similar between the two groups (P>0.05). In follow-up, the total effective rate was 86.7% (26/30) in the acupuncture group, which was better than 56.7% (17/30, P<0.05) in the medication group. The scores of symptoms and physical signs after treatment and in follow-up were all reduced apparently as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0.05). The scores of symptoms and physical signs were reduced more apparently in the acupuncture group as compared with those in the medication group in follow-up (all P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe acupuncture at three nasal points and the acupoints selected by syndrome differentiation achieves the similar short-term efficacy on perennial allergic rhinitis as compared with the oral administration of loratadine. The acupuncture therapy presents the obvious advantages on long-term efficacy.

Objective To compare in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer( IVF-ET ) outcome of gonadotropin-releasing hormone( GnRH ) antagonist protocol and GnRH agonist long protocol in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS)and to provide reference for rational selection of ovulation stimulation protocol for PCOS patients. Methods One hundred and four patients with PCOS who underwent IVF-ET were randomly divided into two groups. In the study group,41 patients were subjected to the GnRH antagonist protocol;In the control group,63 patients were subjected to a long protocol of GnRH agonist. Doses and duration of gonadotropin therapy,the thickness of endometrium and the profile of hormone level on the day of HCG administration,the number of retrieved oocytes,the ratio of fertilization,the ratio of cleavage,the ratio of the good quantity embryos,implantation rate of embryo,pregnancy rate,the cycle cancellation rate and the incidence rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome( OHSS)were recorded. Results The IVF-ET outcome of the two groups was similar with respects to the number of oocytes,the ratio of fertilization,the ratio of cleavage,implantation rate of embryo and the pregnancy rate( P﹥0. 05). Significant differences were found(P﹤0. 05)between the two groups regarding to the doses and duration of gonadotropin therapy,the levels of serum E2 and LH on the day of HCG administration,and the cycle cancellation rate. The incidence rate of OHSS was not significantly different ( 2. 44% vs. 12. 70%) between the two groups. Conclusion The duration of gonadotropins administration,the cycle cancellation rate,incidence of OHSS and the financial burdern are reduced in patients treated with GnRH antagonist. The growth of follicle,the ratio of fertilization,the ratio of cleavage,implantation rate of embryo and the pregnancy rate are not different between the two methods. The GnRH antagonist protocol is optimal for patients with PCOS.
