Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of RFA combined with chemotherapy drug on hepatic VX: carcinoma in rabbits and to explore its mechanism.Methods: 40 rabbit models with VX: carcinoma were used for this study.they were divided into four groups at random.We watched the changes in serolog ALT,diameter of tumor and pathomorphology.And we also utilized terminal deoxynucleotidyl ransferase-mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling and immunohistochemistry to observe the apoptosis and proliferation.Results: ⑴The blood ALT significantly increased at the first day after treatment,then descended at the third day,and at the seventh day it descended to the level of pretreatment stage in group RFA combined with epirubicin.(2) The diameter of tumor showed significant difference between combined treatment and other groups.(3) Two weeks after treatment,the complete necrotic area slightly extended.it was clearly seen that the zone consisted of normal liver constitution,inflammation hyperemia zone and amorphous necrotic constitution by HE staining in combined treatment group.(4) The apoptosis index of the combined treatment group was bigger than that in other groups by TUNEL technology,but the PCNA index in the combined treatment group was lower than other groups.They all had significant difference.There was negative correlation between apoptosis index and PCNA index in the combined treatment group(r=-0.745,P

The paper reports the evaluation of the feasibility of using internal standard method for the determination of nicotine recovery in microdialysis in vitro. This in vitro experiment included two conditions. Nicotine and codeine phosphate were dissolved in Ringer's solution. Nicotine, codeine phosphate and the mixture of them were perfused through the CMA30 linear probe separately to calculate the proportion of the recovery (or delivery) of nicotine to that of codeine phosphate. And then codeine was perfused through the probe which was immersed in nicotine solution with different concentrations to calculate the proportion, too. In another condition nicotine was dissolved in rat plasma. The rat plasma protein binding rate was determined by using retrodialysis and internal standard method in vitro. The results are as follows: the proportion of the recovery (or delivery) of nicotine to that of codeine phosphate was fairly stable. The delivery of codeine was independent of nicotine concentration in the external medium. Protein binding rate determined by retrodialysis was almost the same as that determined by internal standard method. It suggests that the internal standard method is an effective way in the determination of nicotine recovery and codeine phosphate can be used as the internal standard.

A portable instrument for arteriosclerosis assessment containing sensor module, acquisition board and embedded module was developed for home care in this paper. The sensor module consists of one ECG module and three pulse wave extraction modules, synchronously acquiring human ECG and pulse wave signal of carotid, radial, and dorsal, respectively. The acquisition board converts the sensor module's analog output signals into digital signals and transmits them to the embedded module. The embedded module realizes the functions including signal display, storage and the calculation and output of pulse wave velocity. The structure of the proposed portable instrument is simple, easy to use, and easy to expand. Small size, low cost, and low power consumption are also the advantages of this device. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed portable instrument for arteriosclerosis assessment has high accuracy, good repeatability and can assess the degree of atherosclerosis appropriately.

Objective To explore the methods for the evaluation of the uncertainty of the determination of hardness in water. Methods A certain water sample was analyzed for the hardness according to EDTA-Na2 volumetry ruled by the Sanitory Standard for Drinking Water(2001).The mathematical model of the determination of hardness in water was established based on JJF1059-1999. The variance composition of the relative uncertainty was analyzed. The procedure of the evaluation of every uncertainty component was described in detail. Results The hardness in the water sample was 137 mg/L calculated according to mathematical model established in this study. The relative uncertainty and the expand uncertainty of the detection of hardness in the water sample were 0.008, 3 mg/L respectively. The expression of the uncertainty in the determination of hardness was (137?3)mg/L. Conclusion This method presented referable value for the evaluation of the uncertainty of volumetry determination method of hardness in water.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and the significance of anti-NMDAR antibody assay in clinical diagnosis.Methods Sixty-two patients were divided into 3 groups of encephalitis,encephalopathy and other central nervous system diseases based on their affliction. Anti-NMDAR antibody was detected by transfected cell-based indirect immunofluorescence assay in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid. The clinical features,laboratory tests,treatment and prognosis of NMDAR encephalitis were analyzed.ResultsAnti-NMDAR antibody was positive in serum and (or) cerebrospinal fluid of 9 patients (9/32,28％ ) from encephalitis group.The positive rate of anti-NMDAR antibody in cerebrospinal fluid was higher than that in serum of these patients.Among them,5 patients with higher antibody titer had impaired blood-brain barrier.No tumor was detected in these 9 patients.The most predominant symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis include fever,psychiatric disturbances,seizures,dystonia and autonomic dysfunction.Brain MRI and electroencephalography were also abnormal. Patients were responsive to early immunotherapy. Conclusion Detection of the anti-NMDAR antibody may be important for early diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune encephalitis.

Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease. Its main manifestation is bilateral internal carotid artery progressive stenosis w ith abnormal vascular netw ork formation of the compensatory hyperplasia in brain base. The pathological mechanism of moyamoya disease is not clear. Grow ing evidence has suggested that immune inflammation may play an important role in its occurrence and development process. Abnormal expression of various inflammatory cytokines and immune proteins can be observed in patients w ith moyamoya disease. This article review s the possible mechanism of immune inflammation in moyamoya disease in recent years.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of chlorpromazine(TMZ)in treatment of chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods 70 patients with CHF were randomly divided into control group and treatment group 35 cases in each gronp,control group was given conventional treatment,treatment group on the basis of additional application TMZ,20mg/times,3 times/d.8 weeks after the observation and comparison of two groups of cardiac function in improving the situation.Results Treatment group before the treatment of LVEF(38.0 ± 2.4)％ After treatment,LVEF(48.0 ±2.3)％ ;control group before treatment LVEF(38.2 ±2.2)％ after treatment,LVEF(42.0 t2.5)％ ;Twosets of treatment LVEFdifference statistically significant(t =6.9419,2.8482,allP ＜ 0.05); Treatment group compared with control groups after treatment improve even more obvious(t =4.3147,P ＜0.05)o Control groups and then hospitalized 10 cases(28.5％),the treatment group hospitalization 3 cases(8.5％),both groups rate difference statistically significant(x2 =4.629,P ＜0.05).Both groups were no deaths,no serious adverse effects.Conclusion General against heart failure therapy on the basis of the combined with TMZ could significantly improve the cardiac function of patients with chronic heart failure,reducing hospitalization rates.
