Objective To investigate the clinical significance of quantitative detection of serum HBsAg.Methods Serum concentrations of HBsAg were detected by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay in 7612 hospitalized non-hepatitis patients.The distribution of HBsAg positive patients and the relationship of HBsAg concentration with serum anti.HBs.HBeAg and HBV DNA were analyzed.Results The HBsAg positive rate was 11.4%(870/7612)in this series.The serum HBsAg ranged from 0.08 U/mL to 125 000 U/mL with a median of 932.28 U/mL.No significant difference of HBsAg concentrations between male and female patients was observed(Z=-0.366,P＞0.05).1.There were negative correlation of HBsAg concentration with the age of patients(r=-0.370,P＜0.01),and positive correlations of HBsAg with HBeAg(r=0.654,P＜0.01)and HBV DNA levels(r=0.765,P＜0.01).Conclusion The quantitative determination of seFum HBsAg may be useful in estimating the hepatitis B viral replication and clearance.

Cancer is frequently considered to be a disease of cell cycle. Recently, it is reported that the transfer of functional ceil cycle regulators into caneer cells via vectors has the potential to intervene tumorigenesis development. This therapeutic strategy might allow cancer cells to regain missing or dysfunctional gene expression due to inhibiting aberrant proliferation or restoring phenotypes defects. As an important negative effecter of cell cycle progression, p21cip1 not only plays central roles in cell proliferation,differentiation, senescence and apoptosis, but also associates with tumor regression. In this review, we will mainly focus on discussing some recent progress in novel strategies for cancer biological therapy, related with the functions of p21cip1 in cell proliferation and apoptosis during tumorigenesis.

Extended lymph node dissection helps increase the radical resection rate,the accuracy of surgical-pathological staging,and the distant prognosis of thoracic esophageal carcinoma.However,it is also associated with significantly increased surgical morbidity and has noticeable negative effects on the quality of life after surgery.Selective lymph node dissection based on clinical evidences is helpful in reducing surgical risks while assuring the completeness of resection.

Objective To increase the radical resection rate and decrease local-regional relapse rate in thoracic esophageal carcinoma. Methods One-hundred and four patients were prospectively randomized to receive esophagectomy with thoraco-abdominal 2-field lymphadenectomy (48 cases) or with lymph node sampling (56 cases). In 101 patients who survived after surgery, 29 received adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin and fluorouracil (FP). Results Comparing with lymph node sampling, the operation time for lymphadenectomy was prolonged. However, there was no increase in blood loss, surgical morbidity, or mortality. Mean stations of lymph node dissected (10.5 stations vs. 3.2 stations,P

Objective To find out whether the benefits entitled to peasants have increased since NRCM is in place in Beijing, and to analyze the extent of such benefit increase if any. Methods The first is to calculate changes to the reimbursement ratio of hospitalization charges for the peasants covered by NRCM; the second is to calculate the role played by NRCM for alleviating the catastrophic health expenditure of peasants. Results The reimbursement ratio of hospitalization charges for peasants covered by NRCM rose from 32.4% in 2004 to 45.4% in 2007. Survey data from districts and counties in the sampling test indicate that NRCM has gained an ever growing power in alleviating the catastrophic expenditure of peasants. Conclusion Recent years have witnessed a marked growth in medical charges, peasants' income, and peasants' demand for medical services. Against such a background, NRCM can still sharply downsize their catastrophic health expenditure, and its role keeps intensifying. This proves that the fund raising speed of NRCM has greatly outpaced the growth of medical charges and peasants' demand for medical services, and NRCM is playing a more effective role in alleviating the peasants from poverty caused by diseases.

Objective To investigated the clinicopathological findings and prognosis of 60 patients with pleomorphic carcinoma.Methods 60 cases of pleomorphic pulmonary carcinoma were collected and studied clinicopathologically between 1999 and 2011.All patients underwent pulmonary resections.Results There was no in-hospital death.1 had haemothorax that required reoperation,1 patient had a late cicatricial bronchial stenosis after sleeve lobectomy of the upper right lobe,and treated successfully by the resection of the right two lobes.The 3,5-year survival rates of all patients were 47.2％ and 25.6％ respectively.For N0 and N1-N2 patients,3-,5-year survival rates were 57.3％,32.5 ％ and 25.4％,17.1％,respectively.Overall survivals were of significant difference between radical resection and uncomplete resection.Multivariate Cox regression analyses of overall survival of all 60 patients indicated that radical resection (P =0.041) and nodal status (P =0.029) were significant independent prognostic factors.Conclusion Pleomorphic carcinoma is a rare type of lung cancer.Pleomorphic carcinoma of the lung was often found as a large mass peripherally located and was associated with poor prognosis.Radical resection and nodal status were significant independent prognostic factors.

A series of 5H-benzo[b] carbazole derivatives were synthesized to find new TopⅡ inhibitors.The substitution pattern at C-9 was discussed.All 16 compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activities against 4 tumor cell lines (SMMC-7721,S1,HCT116,and HeLa) by sulforhodamine B assay.Four compounds were found to inhibit the proliferation of all tested cell lines.And compound 10e displayed the best antiproliferative activity against all 4 tested cell lines with IC50 values of 5.06,4.50,5.29,and 6.32 μmol/L,respectively.

Objective To compare the effect of applying low molecular weight heparin calcium in different periods of reteplase for acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Ninety-one cases of AMI were divided into group A(30 cases),group B(30 cases)and group C(31 cases)by random digits table.The patients in three groups were given reteplase intravenous thrombolysis,and 5000 U low molecular weight heparin calcium was abdominal wall subcutaneous injections once 12 h at intravenous thrombolysis immediately(group A),after intravenous thrombolysis 6 h(group B)and 12 h(group C).They all were treated for 7-10 d.The rate of coronary artery recanalization,acute phase complication and adverse reaction were compared among three groups.Results The rate of coronary artery recanalization in group A,B and C was 76.7％(23/30),96.7％(29/30),74.2％(23/31)respectively.The rate of coronary artery recanalization in group B was significantly higher than that in group A and C(P ＜ 0.05).The rate of acute phase complication and adverse reaction in group B[33.3％(10/30)]was significantly lower than that in group A and C[70.0％ (21/30)and 61.3％(19/31)](P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After reteplase intravenous thrombolysis in 6 h,applying low molecular weight heparin calcium can significantly improve the rate of coronary artery recanalization and reduce the rate of acute phase complication and adverse reaction.

Objective To observe the long dwell ultrafiltration volume after using 7.5% icodextrin in different peritoneal transport characteristics of peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods Subgroup analysis of a perspective multicenter randomized double blind and parallel control study was performed. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients were divided into high transport (H) group, high-average transport (HA) group, low-average transport (LA) group and low transport (L) group according to D/Pcr and Twardoski standard. Ultrafiltration volume of night long dwell dialysate was calculated before and after clinic trial for 2 weeks and 4 weeks to evaluate the different effect of transporters on ultrafiltration volume. Results A total of 201 CAPD patients were enrolled in the study, including 98 patients in icodextrin group (ICO group) and 103 patients in glucose group (GLU group). Male and female cases were 96 and 105 respectively. Age was (56.1±13.7) years old (range from 18 to 81). One hundred and ninety-eight patients finished peritoneal equilibrium test (PET), including 24 (12.1%) of H, 72(36.2%)of HA, 81(40.7%)of LA,and 21 (11.0%)of L. After follow-up for four weeks, the ultrafiltration volume was much higher than baseline in H, HA and LA groups. Also ultrafiltration volume in icodextrin group was much higher than that in glucose-based dialysate. Howerve, the increased volume was not significantly difference in L group. Ultrafiltration volume of icodextrin was positively correlated to D/Pcr (R2=0.1681,P＜0.01), while ultratration volume of dextrose was negatively correlated to D/Pcr (R2=0.0949,P＜0.01). Conclusion Compare to glucose-based dialysate (Dineal), 7.5% icodextrin dialysate (Extraneal) improves the ultrafiltration and peritoneal creatinine clearance of long dwell notabily in H, HA and LA group.

Recombinant protein SMB(PRG4) containing two Somatomedin B domains and a small amount of glycosylation of repetitive sequences of proteoglycan 4 was cloned according to PGR4 gene polymorphism. Mature purification process was established and recombinant protein SMB(PRG4), with high-level expression was purified. By using size-exclusion chromatogaraphy and dynamic light scattering, we found that the recombinant protein self-aggregate to dimeric form. Structure prediction and non-reducing electrophoresis revealed that SMB(PRG4), was a non-covalently bonded dimer.
