Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a potentially fatal zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis (E .m) , primary located in the liver and showed malignant invasion .AE can develop to the lungs and brain metastases .Operation treat-ment and medication therapeutic efficacy show poor effect .The mechanism of AE invasive growth and metastasis is unclear . Angiogenesis is a highly regulated behavior in normal tissues .Abnormal angiogenesis is one of the key signs of malignant tumor ,and VEGF is one of the key mediators of angiogenesis .Numerous studies have shown that VEGF and CD34 plays an important role in the formation of tumor angiogenesis and invasive growth process .This article discussed the role of angiogene-sis in AE aggressive ,aimed to provide a new way for the clinic conservative treatment for patients with advanced stage ,preven-ting recurrence after operation ,and adjunctive therapy of operation and drug .

Objective To investigate the indoor air pollution caused by construction materials and decoration materials and present scientific data for controlling indoor air pollution caused by construction and decoration materials. Methods 126 samples collected from 44 newly decorated rooms in some districts of Luohe city. The levels of ammonia, benzene and formaldehyde were analyzed according to the national standard. Results The rates of exceed standard of benzene and formaldehyde concentration were 8.7% and 72.2% respectively. Formaldehyde concentration was 3.4 times of the national standard limit averagely. Ammonia and dimethylbenzene were not detected. Conclusion Some decoration materials can pollute the indoor air. The formaldehyde and benzene concentration tend to decrease as time goes on.

Objective:To observe the morphologic changes of cancer tissues and cells and clinical effect of microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) on oral squamous cell carcinoma.(OSCC), and then to evaluate the possibility of MCT in OSCC treatment.Methods:Forty OSCC patients were involved. MCT was adopted to the treatment of tumor primary focus, and associated with chemotherapy and lymphadenectomy of suprahyoid region or therapeutic neck dissection. After MCT the tissues were extracted for pathological examination immediately and morphologically observated by transmission electron microscope(TEM). All patients were received follow-up investigation for 3 years. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were observed and compared.Results:After MCT, the tissues of primary focus showed degenerative and necrotic tissue, inflammatory granulation, exudative necrosis, hyperplasia or atypical hyperplasia under light microscope. Apoptosis and mastocytes were observed besides the primary focus through TEM. Additionally MCT could protect oral faction, facies and improve survival quality and control local recurrence, which was more advanced than other old method (P

Objective:To investigate the effect of Shuanghuangbu slow releasing strip (SRSS) on the expression of BMP2 and IGF1 in the experimental regeneration of periodontium. Methods:Periodontal defects were surgically made around the second incisor and the ca nine in four beagle dogs .32 defects were randomly divided into experimental gr oup and control group with 16 defects in each group. SRSS was applied to the e xperimental group and no disposition to periodontal defect in the control group. Two teeth of each dog were randomly chosen as the natural controls.Specimens we re respectively obtained one month and three months after operation. BMP2 and I GF1 were quantitatively analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results:The positive rate of BMP2 and IGF1 in experimental group were higher t han those in the control( P

Notch signaling is an important evolutionarily conserved pathway involving the fate of cells translation. Additional?ly, this pathway also plays an important role in cartilage formation and maintenance of chondrocytes phenotype, regulation of the prolif?eration, maturation and balance of cartilage matrix metabolism. This paper reviews the composition and activation process of notch sig?naling, and its specific role in cartilage formation.

Objective:To discuss the relationship between defunctionign stoma in low anterior resection for rectal carcinoma and the incidence of anastomotic leakage.Methods:Totally 270 patients who received low anterior resection for rectal carcinoma(with the distance between anastomosis and anal edge being 6 cm or less)from Jan.2005 to Oct.2006 were included in the present study.Defunctioning stoma was performed in 113(41.9%)patients considered with high risk of anastomotic leakage.The clinicopathological data were used to construct database.SPSS 10.0 software was used to analyze the incidences of anastomosis leakage in patients with and without receiving defunctioning stoma.Results:There were 20(7.4%)leakages in the 270 cases.The symptoms included abdominal pain(37%),increase of pulse(53%),fever(47%),leukocytosis(53%),pelvic fluid properties change(68%),anal discharge of bloody fluid(26%)and others(10%).The average age of patients with leakage was 57.8 years.No death was caused by anastomotic leakage.Four(3.5%)leakages happened in defunctioning stoma group,and 16(10.2%)leakages happened in non-stoma group(P=0.04).Eighteen(75%)of the 24 patients with preoperative radiotherapy history received defunctioning stoma and none of them had leakage.Two of the 6 cases who had preoperative radiotherapy history receiving no defunctioning stoma had anastomotic leakages;the fisher exact probability test showed P=0.054.The leakage rate was 4.9%(7 cases)in 142 cases who had received protective measures during low anterior resection and the rate was 10.2%(13 cases)in the rest 128 cases who had not received any protective measures(P=0.10).Leakages subsided with conservative treatment in the 4 patients with stoma,but 8 patients without stoma had severe symptoms and required surgical intervention;one developed peritonitis.The average fasting periods were significantly different between the 2 groups(P

Objective To investigate the proliferation and apoptosis in stage-ⅠNSCLC and their prognostic implications.Methods Immunohistochemical technology and TUNEL assay was applied to detect proliferation and apoptosis in 118 lung cancer tissues and 30 normal lung tissues as controls.Results Proliferation Index(PI)was up-regulated in lung cancer tissues compared with that in normal lung tissues and was closely related to T-staging,differentiation and smoking.Apoptotic Index(AI)was up-regulated in lung cancer tissues compared with that in normal lung tissues and was closely related to T-staging.PI was not related to AI in stage-ⅠNSCLC.The patients with high PI had a shorter 5-year survival than those with low PI(33.57% and 73.12%,P=0.0001),and the patients with low AI had a shorter 5-year survival than those with high AI(41.48% and 68.80%,P=0.008).Multivariate analysis showed that PI was a significantly independently predictive factor for patients with stage-ⅠNSCLC(RR=2.473,95%CI:1.278~4.784,P=0.007).Conclusion Stage-ⅠNSCLC is a subgroup with high proliferation and apoptosis.Proliferation plays a more important role in stage-ⅠNSCLC.The assessment of proliferation and apoptosis may provide new insight into prognosis and adjuvant treatment for stage-Ⅰ NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the effects of blood transfusion on postoperative infection in patients with breast cancer.Methods 311 patients who underwent breast cancer operations in our hospital were observed.Among them,109 patients were transfused with red blood cell (RBC) concentrates,112 with white blood cell(WBC)-depleted RBC concentrates,90 were not transfused.The rates of postoperative infection of three groups were compared.Results The rate of postoperative infection of the group transfused with RBC concentrates was 5.50%.The rate of postoperative infection of the group transfused with WBC-depleted RBC concentrates was 0.89%,which was significantly different from that of the group transfused with RBC concentrates(P0.05).Conclusions In patients with breast cancer,the rate of postoperative infection of the group transfused with RBC concentrates was higher than that of group transfused with WBC-depleted RBC concentrates and of the group without transfusion. The rate of postoperative infection was closely correlated to the amount of RBC concentrates.

Objective This study was to evaluate a new radical resection of hepatic hydatidosis. MethodSince 1999, total subadventitial cystectomy through the intraadventitial space of the hepatic hydatid cyst was performed on thirty patients with 45 liver hydatid cysts. Results The procedure was successful in all cases with no intraoperative rupture of the cysts. The average blood loss per cyst was 20?ml. There was no operative mortality, nor postoperative complications. Twenty one cases were followed up for an average period of 11 months with no recurrence. Conclusions The results indicate that the new procedure is a safe and radical alternative for the treatment of hepatic hydatidosis.
