We have observed the effects of five alga polysaccharides on rabbit's blood platelets aggregation. We found that the polysaccharides could inhibit aggregation of blood platelets in vitro. The strongest effect was observed in the polysaccharides from the following,in decreasing order of strength: Scytosiphon lomentarius, Codium fragile,Laminaria japonica and Ulvalactuca. The same effect was not observed in polysaccharides from Cladophra. We also found a positive correlation between the effects of anti-aggregation and the ratio of vitriol radicles in these five polysaccharides.

Objective To determine the coverage of gonorrhea and syphilis case reporting in China,and provide information for managing STD case-reporting,investigating under-reporting and evaluating STD epidemic.Methods The gonorrhea and syphilis case-reporting data from 31 provinces in 2005 were collected with systematic sampling by months of February,May,August and November through National Information System for Disease Control and Prevention,and the coverage of the casereporting by county category in 31 provinces were analyzed.Results The average coverage of gonorrhea case-reporting were 56.66%,66.33%,68.90% and 68.27% in February,May,August and November in 2005,respectively,while the average coverage of syphilis were 42.61%,55.56%,59.46% and 60.59% in these months,respectively.The coverage of case reporting in developed or southeast ern areas,such as Shanghai,Beijing,Tianjin,Chongqi,Zhejiang,Jiangsu,Guangdong,Guangxi,Hainan,and Fujian provinces was higher by more than 80%.However,the coverage in economically less-developed or west ern areas,including.Hebei,Shanxi,Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Gansu,Yunnan,Guizhou,Qinghai and Tibet provinces,was lower by less than 50%.Conclusions Overall,the coverage of gonorrhea and syphilis case reporting in the country is relatively low,which directly compromises the accuracy of STD case reporting data.It is suggested that management,surveillance and evaluation of STD case reporting should be strengthened,especially in economically less-developed or western areas.

Objective To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its clinical significance. Methods 36 Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups : the normal group (A), the model group (B) and the medicine treatment group (C). Rats in group B and C were passively smoked for 75 days to establish COPD model. Group B were administered Vit A 15 mg/ kg before smoking. 75 days later,the rats were killed. Group A were killed 25 days after equal volume of saline was dripped in trachea. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed in each group. The expression of MMP was determined by immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Result The enzymatic activity and the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were reciprocally different as compared among the tree groups(P <0.01). Conclusion MMP expression is increased in impaired lung tissues of COPD rats.

Background and purpose: The precise radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer consists of multiple procedures, such as simulation, treatment planning and delivery. We assessed the impact of treatment set-up errors on accuracy of post-operative radiotherapy (RT) in patients with breast cancer receiving tangential RT. Methods: Between November 2007 and August 2008, a total of 50 patients were enrolled an institutional review board-approved study. All patients received tangential RT for either right or left breast cancer. Read-out numbers of X, Y, Z directions shown on linear accelerator were recorded according to the sequence of before and after medial tangential field and after lateral tangential field.The impact of treatment set-up errors on post-operative radiotherapy (RT) in different subgroup patients was analyzed using stata 7.0 statistics software. Results:The mean set-up errors on Z, Y, X direction were 2.55, 3.96 and 0.58 cm, respectively. The largest set-up errors in all three directions were observed in the first week during treatment and the largest movement was observed in Z direction. Conclusion: The movements after medial tangential field treatment are much more than those after lateral treatment during RT.The movements in X direction arc substantially less than Y direction or Z direction intrafraction. As interfraction differences have been observed, the movements in the beginning two weeks are more than other treatment period.

Objective To assess the clinical value of ultrasound-guided popliteal vein puncture in the treatment of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.Method We performed ultrasound-guided catheterization through popliteal vein in 71 patients with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis who were supposed to receive catheter-directed thrombolysis.Results Catheter sheathes were successfully inserted in 69 patients.No severe complication was observed.and a good curative effect after the treatmeut of thrombolysis and anticoagulation was found.Insertions of guide-wires failed in 2 patients because of organizatioo of the thrombus.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided popliteal vein puncture is safe and easy to operate,and is worth popularizing.

Objective To investigate the synergism and attenuation effects of Pini Pollen on cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in model mice.Methods The models of mouse were induced with S180 tumor and cyclophosphamide.The tumor inhibiting rates, hematology, Liver function, giant cell phagocytosis, hemolysin level and indexes of thymus and spleen were determined to evaluate the synergism and attenuation effects of Pini Pollen(150,300,600 mg/kg) on cyclophosphamide chemotherapy.Results Compared with cyclophosphamide chemotherapy group,the tumor inhibiting rates,white blood cell number,giant cell phagocytosis, hemolysin level and indexes of thymus and spleen were increased, at the same time liver function damage were alleviated significantly in cyclophosphamide plus Pini Pollen groups.Conclusions Pini Pollen has a remarkable synergism and attenuation effects on cyclophosphamide chemotherapy through its immune adjustment functions.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of balloon occlusion of distal abdominal aorta for patients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta.Methods Data of 72 patients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta were retrospectively analyzed.There were 53 cases (occlusion group) reserved balloon occlusion in abdominal aorta before cesarean section,which can temporarily blocked abdominal aortic blood flow during operation.The other 19 cases (non-occlusion group) underwent cesarean section without balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta.The intraoperative,post operative situations and the birth state of newborn of the two groups were compared.Results The bleeding,blood transfusion and hysterectomy rate during the operation in occlusion group were less than those in non-occlusion group (all P＜ 0.05).Differences of the rate of postoperative transferring to intensive care unit (ICU) and the time in ICU were statistically significant between two groups (both P ＜0.05).No statistical difference of operation time,postoperative total hospital stay time and the rate of postoperative infection was found between two groups (both P＞0.05).There was no statistical difference of newborns weight and Apgar scores (5 min and 10 min after birth) between two groups (all P＞0.05).Conclusion The balloon occlusion of distal abdominal aorta in cesarean section for patients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta is safe and feasible,which can effectively reduce the intraoperative bleeding,the blood transfusion and the risk of hysterectomy.

Objective To investigate the effects of direct current electric fields on the orientation responses of vascular endothelial cells and the influence of the cytoskeleton filament actin on the orientation responses of cells in direct current electric fields. Methods Cultured vascular endothelial cells, with or without treatment with the actin inhibitors cytochalasin B or Y27632, were exposed to a direct current electric field of 200 mV/mm, and cell images were taken at 0, 4 and 8 hours during the exposure. Cells not exposed to the electric field were used as a control.Cell orientation was quantified using an image analyzer. Immunofluorescence staining of the cells for F-actin was observed through confocal microscopy. Results Cells in the control cultures oriented randomly with no predominant polarity. Cells exposed to the direct current electric field showed significant re-orientation to align their long axes perpondicular to the field vector. Neither cytochalasin B nor Y27632 reduced the re-orientation induced by the field, and earlier orientation response was observed in Y27632-treated cells. F-actin staining showed that the orientation of F-actin stress fibres was at random in control cells and perpendicular to the field vector in the field-exposed cells without any drug treatment. Although the formation of stress fibres was inhibited in the cytochalasin B-or Y27632-treated cells, the cells in the direct current electric fields kept their re-orientation responses, similar to the cells without any drug treatment. Conclusions A direct current electric field can induce vascular endothelial cells to re-orient, but the re-orientation response is independent of actin polymerization and actin stress fiber formation.
