Objeetlve To evaluate the role of IL-1β and TNF-α in the spinal cord in a murine model of bone cancer pain(BCP)induced by activation of glial cells.Methods Three hundred and sixty male 8-10 weeks old C3H/He mice weighing 18-22 g were randomly divided into 6 groups(n=60 each):group I nomal control (group N);group Ⅱ sham operation (group S);group Ⅲ BCP+aCSF(group aCSF);group Ⅳ BCP+FC (group FC);group V BCP+MI(group MI) and group Ⅵ BCP+FC+MI (group FC-MI).BCP was produced by inieeting fibrosarcoma cells of bone into the medullary cavity of left ealcaneus bone.Intrathecal catheter was placed in the 4 BCP groups(group Ⅲ-Ⅳ).FC 0.5 nmol/5 μl or/and MI 16 μg/5 μl were injected IT once a day for 21 consecutive days after operation.The mechanical threshold to von Frey filaments was measured at 0.5 h(T0)before injection of fibrosarcoma cells and at 3,5,7,10,14,21 d(T1-6)after injection of fibrosarcoma cells.Twelve animals of each group were killed and L4.5 segment of the spinal cord was removed at T0,1,3,5,6 for determination of IL-1β and TNF-α content (by ELISA) and expression (by immuno-flurorescence) in the spinal cord. Results The mechanical threshold was significantly decreased at T1-6, while IL-1β content at T1,3,5,6 and TNF-α content at T5,6 was significantly increased in group BCP, FC, MI and FC + MI compared with those at T0 and group C (P < 0.05). Compared with group BCP, the mechanical threshold was significantly increased at T1-6 in group MI and FC + MI and at T4-6 in group FC, IL-1β content was significantly decreased at Ts,3,5,6 in group MI and FC + MI and at T5,6 in group FC and TNF-α content was significantly decreased at T5,6 in group FC, MI and FC + MI ( P < 0.05). Conclusion IL-1β and TNF-α in the spinal cord is involved in the process of glial cell activation-induced BCP.

Objective To study the effect of flee radical on kidney repedusion injury caused by infra-renal abdominal aorta occlusion in rat model and its possible mechanism. Methods Forty-two healthy Wis-ter rats were randondy divided into 6 groups as following ( n = 7) : the control group( sham group) ; simply isehemia 5 h without reperfusion( group I) ; 2 hours reperfusinn following ischemia 5 h ( I/R 2 h), 4 honrs reperfusion following isebemia 5 h ( I/R 4 h), 8 hours reperfusinn following ischemia 5 h( I/R 8 h) and 12 hours reperfusion following ischemia 5 h ( I/R 12 h). In each group the rats were killed to obtain samples of blood and kidney at the specified time points. The contents of BUN, Cr, MDA, SOD in blood and in renal homogenate were measured in each group. We observed the morphological changes of kidney and muscles of lower limb by light microscope. Results BUN level of serum in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 4 h, I/R 12 h were higher obvionsly than those of control group, which were maximal in I/R 4 h, then decreased. MDA level of plasma in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 4 h, I/R 8 h, I/R 12 h groups were higher obvionsly than those of control group, which were maximal in I/R4 h group, then decreased. SOD level of plasma in model I/R 4 h, I/R 8 h groups were lower obviously than those of control group; SOD level of renal homogenate in model group I, I/R 2 h, I/R 8 h, I/R 12 h groups were higher obviously than those of group I/R 4 h, which were minimal in I/R 4 h group, then increased. By light microscope: The injury degree of kidney and muscles of lower limb in ischemia group was slight, the injury degree of repedusion group was severer than ischemia group. Conclusion The kidney repedusion injury caused by infrarenal abdominal aorta occlusion in rat model might be concerned with the increase of lipid peroxidatian damage after ischemia-repedusion in-jury of lower limbs.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness and safety of radiotherapy combined with surgery for gastric cancer compared with single surgery. Methods:We retrieved relevant randomized controlled trails in Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2009), PubMed (Jan 1966-Jun 2009), EMBASE (Jan 1974-Jun 2009), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (Jan 1978-Jun 2009), Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Database (Jan 1989-Jun 2009) ,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (Jan 1994 to Jun 2009) and Wanfang database (Jan 1997-Jun 2009). Two researchers assessed the quality of included randomized controlled trials (RCT) and extracted data independently. The RevMan 5.0 software was used for Meta-analysis. Results:Nine RCTs including 1 548 patients were selected for Meta analysis. Five RCTs were related with comparison of preoperative radiotherapy plus surgery with single surgery. Two RCTs were about the comparison of surgery plus perioperative radiotherapy with single surgery. Two RCTs were the comparative studies between surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy and single surgery. The Meta analysis results showed that: (1)compared with surgery alone, preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery can increase 3 years [OR = 1.78, 95% confidence interal (CI):1.14-2.78], 5 years (OR = 1.67, 95%CI :1.22-2.29),and 10 years (OR = 1.64, 95%CI 1.03-2.60) survival rate,and reduce the tumor recurrent rate(OR = 0.59, 95%CI :0.37-0.92) and metastasis rate (OR= 0.44, 95%CI :0.27-0.73); (2) The tumor recurrent rates (OR = 0.19,95%CI :0.03-1.14 )and tumor metastasis rates (OR = 0.09, 95%CI :0.00-1.77)had no difference between single surgery group and peri-operative radiotherapy plus surgery group;(3) Postoperative radiotherapy compared with surgery had no significant effects on 1 year (OR = 0.83, 95%CI :0.60-1.15) and 3 years (OR = 0.75, 95%CI :0.51-1.11) survival rate compared with single surgery, but the 5 years (OR = 0.57,95%CI :0.34-0.95) survival rate of the patients who received surgery alone was higher than those who received combined therapy. No difference of the tumor recurrence rate(OR=0.59,95%CI :0.33-1.05) and tumor metastasis rate (OR=0.90,95%CI:0.51-1.59) were observed between the two groups. Conclusion:Preoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery is more rational and effective than surgery alone in the treatment of gastric cancer. However in terms of the clinical effects of perioperative or postoperative radiotherapy combined with surgery, more RCTs with larger samples and higher quality need to be carried out to make further verification.

Journal of Forensic Medicine 2003;19(2):65-67
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the changes of c-fos mRNA induced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) during acute period.
METHODS:
The model of I/R was established, and the rats was divided normal control, ischmia and I/R groups. Insitu hybridization (ISH) and computerized image analysis method was used to observe alteration of c-fos mRNA in cardiac myocytes.
RESULTS:
After 10 min ischemia and 30 min reperfusion, the area of reperfusion showed a part of cardiac myocytes weak staining, and get to peak at I-60 min/R-30 min. The myocardium in normal control and ischemia groups less than 60 min showed negative staining. No changes were found in all groups by HE staining.
CONCLUSION
c-fos mRNA detection may become an important method for diagnosis of I/R.

To investigate the dose effect of isocenter difference during IMRT dose verification with the 2D chamber array. The samples collected from 10 patients were respectively designed for IMRT plans, the isocenter of which was independently defined as P(o), P(x) and P(y). P(o) was fixed on the target center and the other points shifted 8cm from the target center in the orientation of x/y. The PTW729 was used for 2D dose verification in the 3 groups which beams of plans were set to 0 degrees. The γ-analysis passing rates for the whole plan and each beam were gotten using the different standards in the 3 groups, The results showed the mean passing rate of γ-analysis was highest in the P(o) group, and the mean passing rate of the whole plan was better than that of each beam. In addition, it became worse with the increase of dose leakage between the leaves in P(y) group. Therefore, the determination of isocenter has a visible effect for IMRT dose verification of the 2D chamber array, The isocenter of the planning design should be close to the geometric center of target.
