The Effects of hydrogen peroxide(H2o2) on the ultrastructure, cellular pea-meability barrier and 3H-TdR-DNA leakage of C. albicans were studied. Damage of the cell, especially leakage of cytoplasm were found under transmission electron microscope. Morphological changes and small hole like structures were also found under scanning electron microscope. Radioactivity assay of the leakage of 3H-TdR-DNA leakage of C. albicans further suggested that the 3H-TdR-DNA leakage of C. albicans was directly due to the damage of cellular permeability barrier. Negative correlation (r=+0.8392--0.9915)between the extent of 3H-TdR-DNA leakage and the number of surviving colony-forming units was found. This indicated that the damage of cellular permeability barrier and leakage of DNA of C. albicans caused by H2o2 was one of the most importent causes of cell killing.

Objective To study the influence of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on the pregnancy outcome and newborn rat malformation in pregnancy rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into control group (group A and group B) and the experimental group (group C; group D; group E). There were 10 rats in each group, the general situation,abortion rate, premature delivery rate,newborn rats numbers,weights and lengths and malformation rates were recorded. Results There was no malformation in newborn rats in all groups (P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion It was safe to undergo laparoscope operation in metaphase pregnancy with low CO2 pneumoperitoneum,which has no influence on abortion rate and malformation rate.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between cerebral blood flow(CBF)with age and gender with arterial spin labe-ling in magnetic resonance imaging.Methods All thirty-seven healthy volunteers were divided into A(20-29 years,n=10),B(30-39 years,n=9),C(40-49 years,n=9)and D(50-59 years,n=9),underwent conventional MRI and ASL(Q2TIPS)examination. Cerebral blood flow (CBF)maps were obtained and reviewed.ROIs were respectively selected in bilateral cerebral hemispheres and CBF values were generated.The comparison of CBF value between the left and right hemispheres and within the four age group differences were performed.The relationships between CBF values with age and gender were also analyzed.Results There was no statistical difference of CBF in white or gray matter between bilateral hemispheres in all groups (P > 0.05).A significant positive correlation was found between age and CBF values of the left whole brain (r=0.378,P =0.020)in group C,while no significant difference of CBF in bilateral gray matter,white matter or whole brain was detected among all age groups (P > 0.05).There was no statistical difference of CBF between male and female volunteers (P > 0.05).Conclusion Quantitative estimates of CBF can be obtained with ASL sequence.The preliminary results suggest that CBF values do not significantly associated with age or gender.

Human mammaglobin (hMAM) is a recently discovered breast tissue specific protein with a high sensitivity and specificity. The expression of hMAM in breast cancer and its relationship with breast cancer indicate that hMAM is a novel breast specific marker that can induce cytotoxic actions from immune system and therefore may have great potentials in breast cancer treatment.

The chelating reaction between glutathione peptides and divalent cadmium ion was used as a typical model for investigating the coordination chemistry of SH-containing peptides and heavy metal ions, which was essential to understand the mechanism of intracellular cadmium detoxification.Here, the mutant (CM113R)7 αHL protein nanopore equipped with a first synthesized per-6-quaternary ammonium-β-cyclodextrin (p-QABCD) was used as nanoreactor and detector to investigate the single-molecule reaction of GSH molecules and Cd2+ ions.Different reaction pathways, intermediates, and products could be recognized.Cd2+-GSH reaction was highly dependent on the solution pH.The Cd(GSH)2 was formed at pH 7.4, while the Cd(GSH)2 and Cd2(GSH)2 were formed at pH 9.0.Cd2(GSH)2 was formed by two possible pathways: (1) A Cd2+ ion primarily coordinated with the thiol group of two GSH molecules to form Cd(GSH)2, and then the second Cd2+ ion quickly incorporated with the deprotonated amino group of Cd(GSH)2 to form Cd2(GSH)2;(2) Two Cd2+ ions separately coordinated with the thiol and deprotonated amino group of one GSH molecule to form Cd2(GSH)1, and the second GSH molecule quickly bounded to Cd2+ ions to form Cd2(GSH)2.This work studied the chelating reaction between metal ions and bioactive glutathione at single-molecule level without labeling and chemical modification, and would be important to further understand intracellular mechanisms of detoxification of heavy metals and greatly expand the research field of nanopore single-molecule technique.

To improve the clinical probation in lemology teaching,we may take the following measures:amending the teaching content,improving the teaching methods and promoting doctor-patient communications.

Objective To discuss the methods of specification and quantification of thinking process of syndrome differentiation and treatment of old and famous TCM practitioners; To inherit the clinical experience and ideas of TCM practitioners more effectively. Methods Based on one typical case of Professor Lv Renhe treating chronic nephritis, indexing the prescriptions with TCM Subject Headings thesaurus and analyzing them with “Chinese medicine prescription intelligence analysis system” (“CPIAS” for short), relative dose, comprehensive property, comprehensive taste, comprehensive channel tropism, and prescription efficacy were under quantitative analysis. Results The typical case included two prescriptions of initial diagnosis and six diagnosis. CPIAS quantitative analysis showed that relative dose, comprehensive property, comprehensive taste, comprehensive channel tropism, and prescription efficacy were in accordance with syndrome differentiation and treatment of Professor Lv Renhe for chronic nephritis. Conclusion This method has guiding significance for studying and inheriting the speculative regularities and academic thoughts of Professor Lv Renhe.

Background and purpose:Advanced and metastatic colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death. In the past ,the standard treatment for patients with advanced CRC was fluorouracil(5-FU) biochemically modulated by leucovorin(LV), which demonstrated a response rate of about 23% .In 1990s, a number of new treatment options have been available. In particular, one new cytotoxic agent ,irinotecan (CPT-11), which is a specific inhibitor of topoisomerase I, have been proven to have efficacy in the tretment of CRC .Furthermore, several first-line phase Ⅲ trials show a significant improvement in result with the addition of CPT-11 to FU-LV combination therapy (FOLFIRI).We observed the survival situation, efficacy and safety of irinotecan plus 5-FU/LV after first-line chemotherapy failure for Chinese patients with advanced or/and metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods:Twenty-four patients with metastatic colorectal cancer whose disease had progressed after treatment with first-line oxaliplatin or other chemotherapeutics were included to receive biweekly FOLFIRI regimen (irinotecan 180mg/m~ 2 on day 1,with LV 200mg/m~ 2 adiministrated as a 2-hour infusion before 5-FU 400mg/m~ 2 administrated as an intravenous bolus injection and FU⒉4g/m~ 2 as 46-hour infusion immediately after 5-FU bolus ).All the patients were planned to receive at least 6 cycles of chemotherapy .They were assessed on the basis of WHO evaluation standard of objective therapeutic effect for solid tumor.Results:24 patients were assessable to observe the efficacy and safety. No case was CR.5 case were PR, response rate was 20% (5/24). 17 case were SD , rate was 70% (17/24). 2 case were PD, rate was 8%(2/24). Median time to progression (TTP) were 6.6 months (6 to 24 months ),median overall survival was 10.7 months. The majority of adverse reaction were nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, leucopenia, alopecie. Most of them were Ⅰ/Ⅱ degree, only 6 cases reached III/IV degree. 3 cases had diarrhea with leucopenia and fever.Conclusions:The biweekly regimen of irinotcan in combination with 5-FU/LV results in significant and clinically meaningful improvement in survival and quality of life among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Toxicity is manageable.
