Objective To study the significance and expression of gelatinase A in human gastric cancers (GC). Method Gelatinase A expression in 36 cases of GC was examined by immunohistochemistry method. Results Expression of gelatinase A in GC (31/36) was much higher than that in paratumor tissues (7/18) or normal gastric tissues (2/14). There was no obvious correlation between the total gelatinase A staining and tumor size, Lauren typing . Intense expression of gelatinase A was freguently found in the advanced cancer, especially in GC with serosal invasion and lymph node metastasis, while expression of gelatinase A was not found in the early stage GC. Gelatinase A was shown to be expressed in the extracellur matrix of tumor tissues. The staining positive cells were mainly macrophages. Conclusions Gelatinase A expression could be used as a marker for evaluating the invasion and metastasis of GC. Macrophages may play an important role in this process.

Object To develop a new method of discriminating the principle components of Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR) from different areas, and to find the reason for forming high-quality of RPR in the place of the genuine. Methods Using Foruier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectrometry, the characteristic peaks of fingerprint infrared spectra of RPR samples from 18 habitats were recognized and compared. Results Frequency, intensity and shape of infrared absorption spectra were obviously different between wild and cultivated groups of RPR. The infrared absorption peaks of RPR in Duolun, a famous Chinese orthodox drug, were of distinct characteristics. Conclusion FTIR technique is first applied to rapid analysis of principle component of RPR from different areas. So an operable method in the quality control and discrimination of RPR in the place of the genuine is provided.

There is a high degree of information asymmetry in medical services.Public hospitals are characteristic of the nature of multi-layer principal-agent relationships.Asymmetric information can lead to inconsistent value goals between the principal and the agent,giving birth to the government regulation capture as a result.Such capture ranks a fundamental cause for diluted public welfare nature of public hospitals.To offset such capture at public hospitals calls for reconstruction of government regulation system within the framework of public hospital corporate governance at an institution level.It is also necessary to eliminate the information asymmetry and its negative results,bringing public hospitals back on track to public welfare.

Objective To study the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the cardiac function and arrhythmias of patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony. Methods Thirty-two cases of patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony underwent CRT therapy. And LEVESV, LVEDV, LVEF, LVEDD, MRA, LAA, MRA/LAA were detected by echocardiography while the cardiac function was kept stable. Then the left ventricular systolic 12 segment peak time (Ts) was measurements by tissue doppler in all patients, the poor (Ts-maxD) and standard deviation (Ts-SD) were also calculated. The 24-hour ambulatory 12-lead ECG was took postoperation. All the patients were treated by anti-heart failure drugs after CRT pacemeker implantantion. All these indicators were assessed again at 12 weeks later. Results Compared with the previous CRT pacemaker implantation, LVEF, LV dp/dpsignificantly increased (P < 0.05). LEVESV, Ts-maxD, Ts-SD, MRA, MRA/LAA markedly declined (P < 0.05). But no statistical significance was found between the preoperative and postoperative CRT (P>0.05). Atrial premature beats and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia were significantly reduced in the preoperative CRT (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in atrial fibrillation, ventricular premature beats and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia between the preoperative and postoperative CRT (P > 0.05). Conclusion CRT resynchronization therapy can improve left ventricular systolic function, and reduce the MRA and Ts. The mechanism may be associated with the improvement of left ventricular synchrony, reducing mitral regurgitation, and reducing the occurrence of atrial arrhythmias.

Objective To investigate the effect of Terpinen-4-ol on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells and its related mechanism. Methods A-549 cells were treated with different concentrations of Terpinen-4-ol. The inhibitory effect of Terpinen-4-ol on A-549 cells was tested by MTT method. Cell grow ability was determined by CCK-8 colorimetry. The ultrastructure of A549 cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy before and after Terpinen-4-ol treatment. The changes of cell cycle, apoptosis, and the level of intracel-lular calcium were inspected by flow cytometry. Inoculated the lung adenocarcinoma A-549 cells on the nude mice to form transplantation tumor. The experimental nude mice with transplantation tumors were divided into three groups:negative control group,high dose positive con-trol group and low dose positive control group. The mice were given continuously intraperitoneal injection for 10 days, and then the transplan-tation tumors were taken and the size and weight of them were detected. Results After Terpinen-4-ol treatment for 24 h,MTT assay showed that the IC50 value of A549 cells was 0. 067% v/v. The growth curves of positive control groups were significantly smooth than the negative control group. The formation of autophagosome increased after treatment with Terpinen-4-ol. The results of flow cytometry showed that the cell cycle was arrested in S phase,Terpinen-4-ol could induce apoptosis of A549 cell, The intracellular calcium concentrations in positive control groups were significantly higher than the negative control group(P<0. 05). Low dose group and high dose group restrained the growth of the transplantation tumor obviously, and the tumor inhibitory rate were 53. 33% and 77. 76% respectively. Conclusion Terpinen-4-ol has inhibitory effect on the proliferation of A-549 cells in vitro and in vivo.

In this paper, the chloroplast psbK-psbI intergenic spacers of 18 species of Dendrobium and their adulterants were amplified and sequenced, and then the sequence characteristics were analyzed. The sequence lengths of chloroplast psbK-psbI regions of Dendrobium ranged from 474 to 513 bp and the GC contents were 25.4%-27.6%. The variable sites were 71 while the informative sites were 46. The inter-specific genetic distances calculated by Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) of Dendrobium were 0.006 1-0.058 1, with an average of 0.028 4. The K2P genetic distances between Dendrobium species and Bulbophyllum odoratissimum were 0.093 2-0.120 4. The NJ tree showed that the Dendrobium species can be easily differentiated from each other and 6 samples of the inspected Dendrobium species were identified successfully through sequencing the psbK-psbI intergenic spacer. Therefore, the chloroplast psbK-psbI intergenic spacer can be used as a candidate marker to identify Dendrobium species and its adulterants.
