Free-DNA exists in body fluid of cancer patients, and the concentration is much higher than that of healthy people, and the free DNA is characteristic of tumor issue. This article makes a summary about the study of free DNA in cancer patients,such as methylation,gene mutation, microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity( LOH ). It has important significance for tumor dignosis,assessment of prognosis and recurrence.

Objective To study the relationship between vulnerable plaque and nonlacunar infarction, and analyze distribution regularity of carotid atherosclerotic plaque. Methods One hundred and four patients with ischemic stroke were divided into two groups: nonlacunar infarction group (64 cases) and lacunar infarction group (40 cases) based on imaging and clinical manifestation. Location, number, type,degree of carotid atherosclerotic plaque was recorded and compared between the two groups. Results Two hundred and ninety-seven plaques shown by the imaging were distributed in different areas:9 plaques located in the initial part of the carotid artery, 51 plaques located in the carotid artery, 148 plaques located in the bifurcation of the carotid artery, 27 plaques located in the internal carotid artery and 62 plaques located in the intracalvarium part of internal carotid artery. The percentage of severe or occlusion carotid artery stenosis in nonlacunar infarction group was 29.7% (19/64), which was higher than that in lacunar infarction group [10.0% (4/40)] (P = 0.019 ). The percentage of vulnerable plaque in nonlacunar infarction group was 62.5% (40/64), which was higher than that in lacunar infarction group [47.5%( 19/40)](P=0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that the degree of carotid artery stenosis(OR = 1.740,95% CI: 1.002 -3.021 ) and vulnerable plaque (OR = 2.865,95% CI: 1.047 - 7.813 ) was related with nonlacunar infarction.Conclusions The plaque is more frequently encountered at the bifurcation of the carotid artery. The degree of carotid artery stenosis and vulnerable plaque are the independent risk factors of the nonlacunar infarction.CT angiography can clearly display carotid artery stenosis, morphology and component of plaque, so it will be used as the preferred clinical examination.

Decellularized tissues and organs have been widely used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. The efficiency of cell removal from a tissue depends on the origin of the tissue and the methods applied. Each of these treatment affects the biochemical composition, tissue ultrastructure, and mechanical behavior of the remaining scaffold, which in turn, affect the host response to the material. Herein, we made a review about the most commonly used decellularization methods and their effects upon biologic scaffolds.

Objective To provide references for improving the quality of TCM decoction pieces through the analysis on sample inspection of TCM decoction pieces of Huguosi TCM Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (hereinafter referred to as our hospital). Methods In our hospital from January 2014 to December 2015, TCM decoction pieces with problems in this sample inspection were categorized according to reasons. Results Quality problems found in the sample inspection were categorized into 3 types, i.e. collection and preparation (69.79%), storage (20.93%) and other problems (9.31%). Cutting in collection and preparation (13.95%), worming in storage (9.30%) and breaking/crumbing (6.98%) were the most obvious problems. Conclusion Strengthening the management of procurement acceptance, strict control of storage and storage conditions, and paying attention to the use of other aspects of management can improve the quality of TCM decoction pieces.

Based on the analysis of the status quo and development trends of disaster medicine system abroad along with a summary of the present conditions and inadequacies of the same system in China, this paper proposes to build such a system in Hainan Province. It studied, with reference to the specifics of Hainan Province, the characteristics of such a system in the province, involving such aspects as hospital setup, human resource development, construction of research centers, professional training,management of disease control centers, improvement of the hospital self-rescue system, reliable supply of drugs and medical devices, maintenance of disaster medicine information system, logistics support,improvement of assessment system, establishment of rescue-oriented culture, and psychology crisis intervention and promotions.

Objective To study the content change and clinic significance of NO,ET,D-Dimer with UK in the treatment of ACI.Method NO,ET,and D-Dimer were measured before and after 2 h,4 h,24 h,48 h in 38 ACI patients with treatment of UK by the ways NO-2/NO-3 content measuring,radiation immunity analysis(RIA) and ELISA.Results NO in ACI was significantly low(P

Objective To observe of therapeutic effect of bamboo shoots extract compound on the treatment of hemorrhagic anemia.Method The glucose,total protein,amino acids,trace and macro elements in bamboo shoots extract were determined.Through the performance of angular vein bloodletting,a hemorrhagic anemia rat model was set up.Two therapy groups received the intragastric administration of compound Ⅰ(0.15% iron porphyrin and 10% honey) and compound Ⅱ(70% bamboo shoots extract,0.15% iron porphyrin and 10% honey),respectively.And the control group only received the de-ionized water of the same dose.The blood samples,collected via tail vein in 0,18,42,67 and 90h after the administration,were detected for hemoglobin,red blood cell and hematocrit.And the acute toxicity test was also conducted.Result Compound Ⅱ,which contained the Bamboo shoots extract that was rich in glucose,amino acids,amino,and trace and macro elements,had a better efficacy in treating hemorrhagic anemia of rats than the Compound Ⅰ.And the result of acute toxicity was normal. Conclusion Bamboo shoots extract compound could promote the recovery of hemorrhagic anemia.

0.05), respectively.Conclusion The cerebrovascular reactivity to CO_2 or the cerebral circulation reserve in senile hypertensive patients may be improved effectively by reasonable antihypertensive therapy.

Objective To analyze the nucleotide sequences of novel allele HLA-B*4608. Methods Genomic DNA of the proband was extracted from whole blood by the commercial DNA extraction kit. The HLA-B exons 1-8 of the proband was amplified and the amplified product was cloned by TOPO TA cloning sequencing kit to split the two alleles apart. Both strands of exons 2, 3 and 4 of chosen colonies were sequenced. Results The sequencing results showed HLA-B alleles of the proband as B*5502 and a new allele as proved by blast search. The sequences of the novel allele have been submitted to Genbank(DQ177521,DQ177522,DQ177523). The new allele is similar to HLA-B*4601 except for two nucleotide substitutions in exon 3: T to C at nucleotide position 538 and G to T at nucleotide position 539. These result in an amino acid substitution at codon 156 from W to L. Conclusion This allele is a novel allele and has been officially named B*4608 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of IAA/HRP on the proliferation and apoptosis of human SACC-83 cells in vitro,and its molecular mechanism. METHOD: The rate of proliferation inhibition was determined by CCK-8 assay, the apoptosis-related gene Caspase-3 and Livinα mRNA and protein expression levels were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot. RESULT: IAA/HRP could inhibit proliferation of SACC-83, which depending on the time and dosage (P < 0.05); can-up-regulate the Caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression levels and reduction of the mRNA and protein of the Livina expression, (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSION IAA/HRP can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of SACC-83 cells, which may due to its regulation of the expression of Caspase-3 and Livinα mRNA expression.
