Objevtive To investigate the safety of laparoscopic resection and ~(125)I seed implantation for recurrent gynecologic malignancies. Methods Laparoscopic surgery and ~(125)I seed implantation were used in five patients. All complications were recorded. Environmental radiation dose was detected at different distance from radioactive source and different time after operation with-γ-ray equipment. Results The procedure was safely achieved in all five patients. No serious complication was found. All patients experienced slight pain at the implant site and temporary vulva dropsy. With the increase of the distance from radioactive source and time passing, the radiation dose decreased quickly. The detected dose was close to a natural background radiation dose at the distance of 50cm from radioactive source and after 6 months. Conclusions Laparoscopic resection and ~(125)I seed implantation are safe to patient and environment.

Objective:To investigate the long-term toxicity of recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11) in cynomolgus. Methods: Eighteen cynomolgus were randomized into 4 groups: control group(2/sex), low dose group(2/sex), medium dose group(2/sex), and high dose group(3/sex). The drug groups were sc adminstered 0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg of rhIL-11 for 90 days with a 30-day recovery period. The clinical signs were observed, electrocardiogram, hematological, biochemical, urinary and immunological parameters were measured, organ masses were weighed, bone marrow and pathological histology were observed. Results: The food consumption, body mass of the drug groups were decreased, the body temperature was increased transiently. One of the low dose group showed restricted movements and tremors. One of the high dose group vomited and another died. Reduced red blood cell(RBC) count, hemoglobin(Hb) concentration, hematocrit(Hct), mean corpuscular volume(MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC), dose-related increase of platelet(Plat) counts were present in drug groups. Biochemical examinations revealed dose-related decreases in serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), total proteins(TP) and albumin(Alb) increases in serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels. Positive antibody responses were seen and circulatory immune complex(CIC) was significantly increased in all drug groups. Hypertropy of marrow megakaryocyocytes was noted in the medium and high dose groups. The heart and liver masses were slightly increased in all treatment groups. Treatment-related microscopic findings included dose-related degeneration in the liver and the kidney. The adverse effects were reversed by the end of the recovery period. Conclusion: The target organs and systems are blood, liver, kidney, immmue system and bone marrow. The toxicity injuries were reversible and the no-toxic-effect level is 0.1 mg/kg.

Objective To understand the current prevalence of clonorchiasis in Jiangxi Province. Methods A survey was performed according to the scheme of the 3rd Principal Human Parasites of Jiangxi Province. Based on the ecological regions,a stratified cluster sampling method was applied by the economic and geographic situation. In rural areas,the investigation of C. si?nensis was carried out together with the soil?transmitted helminths investigation,and in the urban areas,the random cluster sam?pling method was applied for the C. sinensis investigation. There were 92 survey sites from 32 counties. The eggs of C. sinensis in stool were examined by Kato?Katz technique,and health knowledge was also investigated by questionnaires in some people at the same time. Results A total of 23 606 sample residents were investigated,and 138 were found infected with C. sinensis, with the infection rate of 0.58%. Light infection was found in most of them. Totally 124 C. sinensis infected persons focused in Xinfeng County,and only a few of infected people scattered in the other counties. In Xinfeng County,851 residents were investi?gated. Among them,the infected people were found in all the age groups except the 0?year age group. The highest infection rate appeared in the 70? years group(24.00%). The male infection rate was 20.29%,which was higher than that of the female (6.25%),showing a statistically significant difference(P<0.01). The infection rate was highest in the population who received high school or technical secondary school education(31.48%). For the occupation distribution,the infection rate was highest in public officers(39.39%). The questionnaire survey showed that the infection rate in the populations in Xinfeng County who had the history of eating raw fish or raw shrimp was 33.15%. Conclusions The distribution of C. sinensis infection presents a region?al aggregation in Xinfeng County,but in other areas,the distribution is sporadic. It is necessary to continue to carry out the para?sitic disease screening,and in Xinfeng County,it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive prevention and control interven?tion.

A rapid resolution liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometric ( RRLC-QTOF/MS) method was used to profile the metabolites of urine samples from atherosclerosis ( AS) patients and healthy controls and find the differential metabolites which could provide the scientific evidence to explain the pathogenesis and early disease diagnose. In the study, 15 AS patients ( age46. 84±2. 41 years) and 15 healthy controls ( age45 . 72±1 . 93 years ) was screened out by VaSera VS-1000 . The urine samples were analyzed by RRLC-QTOF/MS and the resulting data matrices were analyzed by multivariate statistical analysis ( Principal Component Analysis, PCA ) to find the potential biomarkers. The results showed that the urine samples of AS patients were successfully distinguished from those of healthy controls. Besides, a total of two significantly changed metabolites, uric acid and Guanidineacetic acid, had been found and identified as potential biomarkers, which suggested that the disorder of purine metabolism and amino acid metabolism played an important role in the mechanism of AS.
