This paper explains the research status of chemotherapy sensitivity test in three aspects of history of development, specific methods and clinical application. Chemotherapy sensitivity test is an important way to achieve individual treatment of cancer, after more than 60 years, there are two major categories(in vivo method and in vitro method) of more than 10 kinds of methods. The basic steps of sensitivity test inelude culture of primary tumor cells, chemotherapy drugs mixed, the reaction mixture, observing the results of detection and analysis of indicators. This paper focuses on basic principles, main steps and characteristics of six methods, such as the renal capsule of nude mice model of human cancer, the difference between staining cell, tetrazolium salt colorimetric, adenosine triphosphate based bioluminescence tumor chemosensitivity assay, collagen gel embedded culture method and targeting molecule sensitivity assay. Through the results of several clinical trials, it can be seen that chemotherapy under the guidance of drug sensitivity test significantly improved more than experience chemotherapy in efficient rate, median progression-free survival time, survival time, clinical complete remission rate, pathological complete remission rate, etc.

Purpose：To evaluate the use of transrectal ultrasonography in diagnosis of prostate cancer.Methods：A high-frequency probe was used to examine 56 cases of prostate cancer transrectally and the sonographic features were analyzd. Results：On Trus image lesions were located in peripheral zone in 48(76.8%), transition zone in 8 (14.3%),and central zone in 5 (8.9%). 45 cases (80.4%) of the prostate cancer were hypoechoic,4(7.1%) were hyperechoic, 5(8.9%) had mixed echogenicity and 2 (3.6%)showed isoechoic appearance. Indirect signs represented prostatic asymmetry,intermittent capsular and dilation or disappear of the seminal vesicles.Conclusions：TRUS is imperative in the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer.

We first study the photosensitization to bacteria and fungi with a definite structure, watersoluble porphyrin. We found that the porphyrin had strong sterilization on the Staphylococcus au- reus and Candida albicans. When the porphyrin concentrations increased, its sterilization strengthened. The sterilization was related to the photoradiating time. When photoradiating time was one hour, its sterilizing ability was the greatest. Its sterilizing ability was similar to the penicillin's.

Objective To observe the relationship between short-term heart rate variability(HRV) and heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise.Methods 495 patients (273 men),whose age ranged 19-85 years,were submitted to treadmill exercise tests and short-term HRV evaluations.The standard deviation of the normal-to-normal interval (SDNN),the square root of the mean squared differences of successive normal-to-normal intervals (RMSSD),the number of interval differences of successive normal-to-normal intervals greater than 50 ms (NN50 count),the proportion derived by dividing NN50 count by the total number of normal-to-normal intervals (pNN50) and frequency(lowfrequency power,high-frequency power,total power) domains were observed.Results Among 495 patients,106 patients(68 men) were elderly(age≥65 years).Male gender and hypertension were significantly higher in elderly patients.The young patients had higher HRR after exercise.HRR at 4min (54 ± 13) vs (60 ± 12) beats/min,P =0.003 was the most significant predictor for positive exercise test result.In the young group,both time domain measures (SDNN:correlation coefficient 0.34,P ＜ 0.001 ; RMSSD:correlation coefficient 0.37,P ＜ 0.001) and frequency domain measures (LF:correlation coefficient 0.21,P ＜ 0.001 ; HF:correlation coefficient 0.13,P =0.01 ; total power:correlation coefficient 0.22,P ＜ 0.001) were significantly associated with HRR at 4min.Conclusion HRR at 4min was significantly associated with short-term HRV of time and frequency domains in young individuals,but not elderly ones,who received treadmill exercise test.

The incidence of allergic diseases has increased gradually year by year, which gravely influence the quality life, and mental and physical health of children.In view of that, the construction of the health education system in children with allergic diseases is the way to instruct parents and children in children′s health effectively and prevent diseases, thus promoting the healthy growth of children.This article aims to discuss the necessity of health education in children developing with allergic diseases, the establishment of teacher resources systems, the diversity of health education and the organization and management of patients.

Objective To investigate the intervention effect of recombinant hirudin on inflammatory reaction in perihematoma of rats with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods ICH models of rats were established by autologous blood injection. Recombinant hirudin was injected into hematoma immediately, 6 h, 12 h after operation, then the expressions of TNF-? and ICAM-1 were detected and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured in perihematoma.Results TNF-? immune reaction cells, ICAM-1 positive micro-vessels and MPO activity in perihematoma all increased strongly 3 d after ICH ( P

Objective To investigate the intervention effect of recombinant hirudin on apoptosis of neurons in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) of rats.Methods ICH animal models were established by autologous blood injection, and hirudin, a special inhibitor of thrombin, was used for intervention treatment. The neurologic impairment scores (NIS) of rats were measured, and TUNEL-positive cells and caspase-3 IR cells were also detected in cortex and basal ganglia 24 h after operation.Results After intervention treatment of recombined hirudin, the NIS of rats decreased obviously ( P

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to analyze the bone anatomy of edentulous sites in the posterior maxillary by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

METHODSA total of 100 CBCT radiographs from patients with missing maxillary posterior teeth were obtained, resulting in a sample size of 217 edentulous sites. The width and height of edentulous were assessed by three-dimensional reconstruction. In addition, the angle A and morphology of the maxillary sinus walls were evaluated.

RESULTSThe mean bone height was 9.53 mm, and the percentage of sites than 10 mm was 62.67% (136/217). The mean bone width was 9.30 mm, and the percentage of sites more than 6 mm was 91.71% (199/217). The bone height decreased from premolar to molar areas, but the opposite trend was observed in bone width. Regarding the morphology of the sinus floor, 64.52% exhibited an oblique configuration. In angle A, the group of less than 30° was 10.14%, 30°-60° was 42.40%, and greater than 60° was 47.47%.

CONCLUSIONA high percentage of edentulous sites in the posterior maxillary requires sinus floor elevation to allow the placement of dental implants. Thus, the use of CBCT scans is recommended to evaluate the anatomical structure of the maxillary sinus for reasonable implant planning.
