The present paper reports the effects of low and high doses of X-irradiation on hCG-induced testosterone secretion in cultured rat Leydig cells. The Leydig cells harvested from testis in immature rats were exposed to 25, 50, 75, 100, 250 mGy and 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 Gy X-irradiation at a dose-rate of 12.5 mGy/min and 0.51 Gy/min respectively after a preincubation for 24h. The cells were stimulated with 0.025 or 0.05 i.u./ml of hCG for 48 h in culture after X-irradiation. In low dose irradiated Leydig cells, the response to 0.05 i.u./ml of hCG in both 25 and 50 mGy groups was significantly higher than that of the control. No significant changes were found in response to 0.025 i.u./ml hCG in all the low dose groups. In high dose irradiated Leydig cells, the response to either 0,025 or 0.05 i.u./ml hCG was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. It is concluded that low dose ionizing irradiation acts synergistically with hCG in stimulation of testosterone production, while higher doses inhibit its secretion. The possible mechanisms of these effects were discussed.

Objective To investigate the expressions of signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 3 (STAT3),Bcl-2,and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) in colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas,and the relationship of those factors with the colorectal clinicopathological features and prognosis of intestinal adenocarcinomas,and explore their roles in invasion,metastasis,and prognosis of a colorectal cancer.Methods The samples were selected from Dongyang City People's Hospital from January 2011 to January 2012,including 50 cases of paraffin-coded colorectal mucosas with chronic inflammation,50 cases of paraffincoded colorectal adenomas,and 100 cases of paraffin-coded colorectal adenocarcinomas (35 cases with metastasis and 65 cases without distant metastasis).Envison two method was used to detect the expressions of STAT3,Bcl-2,and MMP2 in each sample.Results The expressions of STAT3,Bcl-2,and MMP2 in colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas were significantly higher than those in colorectal mucosas with chronic inflammation (P ＜ 0.05).The expressions of STAT3 and MMP2 in colorectal adenocarcinomas with distant metastasis were significantly higher than that those without distant metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of BCL-2 had no significant difference between colorectal adenocarcinomas with and without distant metastasis (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions STAT3,Bcl-2 and MMP2 were associated with occurrence and development of colorectal carcinoma.STAT3 was associated with distant metastasis of colorectal carcinoma and might indicate a poor prognosis.STAT3 might be used as a candidate clinical sign for recurrence,metastasis,and poor survival prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the relationship of pulmonary function and metabolic indexes in overweight as well as obesity people.Methods Three hundred and five health examination adults were selected as our subjects.The basic parameters,metabolic indexes and pulmonary function were measured.Of which,pulmonary function indexes include forced vital capacity (FVC),forced expiratory volume in one(FEV1),peak expiratory flow(PEF),the ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC),the ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the vital capacity(FEV1/VC),maximal expiratory flow after 50％ of the FVC (MEF50),maximal expiratory flow after 25％ of the FVC (MEF25),and each index value of lung function was expressed the ratio of the measured value/the predictive value.Metabolic indexes include triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),fasting plasma glucose (FPG)),C-reactive protein (CRP),high-sensitivity C-reactive (hs-CRP),superoxide dismutase(SOD),systoloc blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).Statistical analysis methods include one-way analysis of variance and Spearman correlation analysis.Results The levels of FVC,FEV1,FEV1/FVC in overweight and the obesity group were (85.74 ± 13.94)％ and (82.85±13.34)％,(84.52 ± 14.62)％ and (82.74 ± 14.18)％,(103.40 ± 13.05)％ and (103.17 ±8.99)％respectively,lower than that of normal weight group [(95.79 ± 26.83) ％,(92.65 ± 26.93) ％,(99.98± 11.88) ％,all P values less than 0.05)].Compared with the normal weight group,the levels of TG,SBP,FPG in overweight group and the obesity group were significantly increased.The levels of LDL-C,DBP,hs-CRP in obesity were (5.05 ± 0.83) rmtmol/L,(86.64 ± 10.49) mmHg,(3.74 ± 5.51) mg/L respectively,higher than that of normal group [(3.08 ±0.96) mmol/L,(77.69 ± 13.20) mmHg,(2.33 ±4.67) mg/L,P ＜0.05)].SOD activities in overweight and obesity group were (140.82 ± 13.16),(144.89 ± 13.82) U/L respectively,significantly lower than that of normal weight group[(148.64 ± 14.94) U/L,P ＜0.05)).The levels of SBP,DBP,hs-CRP in the over weight group were (127.77 ± 19.07) mmHg,(80.87 ± 12.21) mmHg,(2.31± 3.73) mg/L),higher than that of obesity group.Among metabolic indices,TG,SBP,DBP,FBG,CRP,hs-CRP and SOD were related with FVC (r =-0.129,-0.129,-0.136,-0.180,-0.220,-0.217 respectively,P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).There was negatively correlated relationship between SBP,FBG,CRP,hs-CRP and FEV1 (r =-0.128,-0.127,-0.148,-0.198 respectively,P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01),So were SBP,CRP,hs-CRP and PEF (r =-0.137,-0.117,-0.133 respectively,P ＜ 0.05).Negatively correlated relationship between hsCRP,SBP and MEF50 were seen (r =-0.126,-0.124,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile there was negatively correlated relationship between SOD and FVC,FEV1/FEV,PEF,MEF50 (r =0.149,0.094,0.119,0.141,0.129respectively,P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Impaired pulmonary function and metabolic disorders were showed in the overweight and obesity people.Metabolic indexes were related with pulmonary function.

Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.At diagnosis,most patients are older than 65 years,In newly diagnosed myeloma patients younger than 65 years,high-dose of melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT)is regarded as the standard treatment.In elderly patients,usually older than 65 years,oral melphalan and prednisone(MP)has been considered as the standard regimen recently.However,the discovery of thalidomide,lenalidomide,and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib will increase the effect of clinical treatment.This review will summarize literatures and focus on the treatment of newly diagnosed myeloma.

Studies show that the Notch signal transduction pathway involves in the regulation and control of cell proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.Aberrant Notch signaling transduction pathway can induce breast cancer in transgenic mice.High expressions of either Notch receptors or their ligands have been linked to poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer.Inhibition of Notch signal transduction pathway may be beneficial for breast cancer treatment.

Objective To study the protective effect of CMPS on alcohol/ CCL4 to liver injury.Methods Alcohol/CCL4 were given to rats to establish models of liver injury rats. The contents of AST, ALT, ALP, T-CHO, T-BIL, TP, ALB and A/G were determined by biochemical analyzer. The coments of SOD and MDA were by spectrophotometry. Results CMPS could reduce the levels of AST, ALT, ALP and MDA and raise the levels of ALB and SOD in mice model. Conclusion CMPS could protect liver injury. The mechanism may be related with its protection of cell membrane and antioxygen.

Objective To confirm the effect of lymphangiogenesis in immunological reaction on pterygium formation and development.Methods The clinical removal of pterygium material in quiescent phase,advanced phase and recurrent phase was selected.each phase with 12 cases,while 10 cases of normal bulbar conjunctiva were taken as control.5'-nueleotide enzyme-alkallne phosphat&se-double enzyme histochemistry was performed to compare the number of lymphangiogenesis in different tissues.Results Lymphangiogenesis in normal bulbar conjunctiva and quiescent phase pterygium tissues expressed little,but gray-stained lymphangiogenesis widely distributed in pterygium tissue of advanced phase and recurrent phase,and there were statistically significant differences compare those with the normal bulbar conjunctiva and quiescent phase pterygium(P=0.03 and 0.01).Conclusion Lymphangiogenesis may be involved in immunity process of pterygium pathogenesis.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of varied operative for the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stones.Methods The clinical data of 176 consecutive cases of hepatolithiasis surgically treated in the past 3 years in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.There were 45 type Ⅰ patients,25 type Ⅱ a patients,25 type Ⅱ b patients,3 type Ⅱ c patients,52 type Ea patients,19 type Eb patients,and 7 type Ec patients.These 176 patients were divided into 4 groups according to modus operandi:choledocholithotomy and T-tube drainage in 71 patients (type Ea 31 patients,type Ⅰ 15 patients,type Ⅱ a 25 patients) ; choledocholithotomy and choledochojejunostomy in 25 patients (type Ea 14 patients,type Eb 7 patients,type Ec 4 patients) ; choledocholithotomy and hepaticojejunostomy in 10 patients (type Ⅱb 5 patients,type Ⅱ c 3 patients,type Ea 2 patients) ; hepatectomy plus T-tube drainage or choledochojejunostomy in 70 patients (type Ⅰ 30 patients,type Ⅱ b 20 patients,type Ea 5 patients,type Eb 12 patients,type Ec 3 patients).The postoperative residual stone rate,perioperative complications and long term results were compared between groups.Results Patients undergoing hepatectomy have less postoperative residual stone rate,higher rate of good long term efficacy as compared with those who did not undergo hepatectomy (17.1％ (12/70) vs 43.4％ (46/106),91.4％ (53/58) vs 77.0％ (67/87)).Though patients undergoing hepatectomy had higher rate of perioperative complications (37.1％ (26/70) vs 14.2％ (15/106)).Conclusions Hepatectomy is the most effective procedure for the treatment of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ b hepatolithiasis.Hepaticojejunostomy is the main procedure for the treatment of type Ⅱ c hepatolithiasis.

Objective To investigate the effects of duration of active phase on delivery mode and pregnancy outcome.Methods Data of 417 women with abnormal active phase identified from 1744 term-birth,singleton,cephalic presentation primiparas who had tried vaginal delivery in Peking University First Hospital from January 1,2009 to December 31,2009 were retrospectively studied.Effects of different durations of protracted active phase on pregnancy outcomes were compared between women with vaginal delivery or cesarean section by Chi square test.Results The incidence of protracted active phase was 23.9％ (417/1744); and the incidence of prolonged active phase was 2.9％ (50/1744).There were 205 cases of cesarean section and 212 cases of vaginal deliveries.The incidence of neonates hospitalization in Department of Pediatrics in vaginal delivery group with active phase ≥6 h was higher than that of those with active phase ＜6 h [20.6％ (26/126) vs 8.1％ (7/86),x2 =6.07,P＜0.05].The incidence of intrauterine infection in cesarean section group with active phase ＜6 h were higher than that of those with active phase ≥6 h [22.7％ (30/132) vs 6.8％(5/73),x2 =8.37,P＜0.01].In vaginal group with protracted active phase before 6 cm of cervical dilation,the incidences of postpartum hemorrhage (4.8％,9/186),maternal complications (3.8％,7/186) and neonates hospitalization (15.6％,29/186) were similar with those after 6 cm of cervical dilation [6.2％ (1/16),x2=0.12; 0.0％ (0/16),x2=0.01 and 12.5％ (2/16),x2=0.00; all P＞0.05] respectively.In cesarean delivery group with cervical dilation ≥6 cm,the incidence of neonates hospitalization was higher than that of those with cervical dilation ＜6 cm [60.0％ (6/10) vs 19.9％ (34/171),x2 =8.83,P＜0.05].There were no difference in maternal age,gestational age,body mass index at delivery,volume of postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal birth weight between women with cesarean section whose protracted active phase ≥4 h or ＜4 h when cervical dilation at 3 cm (P＞ 0.05 respectively).The incidence of neonates hospitalization was low in women whose indication of cesarean section was protracted active phase (11.2％,9/80),while it was high when protracted active phase complicated with intrauterine infection (42.1％,16/38).Conclusions Protracted active phase with cervical dilation less than 6 cm might not need active management if neither the mother nor the fetus is compromised.The infants born vaginally should be closely monitored if the active phase is over 6 h.
