Objective The levels of endothelin-1(ET-1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)after acute cervical spinal cord injury. Method ET-1 and CGRP were determined by RIA in order to observe the effects of naloxone on levels of ET-1 and CGRP and neuronal death of cervical spinal cord. Result Levels of ET-1 in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)after acute cerical spinal cord injury increased significantly; but the levels of CGRP in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) decreased markedly. The levels of ET-1 in the plasma and cerebropinal fluid(CSF)decreased markedly after the threapy of naloxone; but levels of CGRP in the plama and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)increased sinificantly. Conclusion These deta suggest that the lessening of CGRP and increasing of ET-1 may be some important reson causing death of neuron after acute cervical spinal cord injury, and naloxone can protecet cervical spinal cord neuron by increasing levels of CGRP and decreasing levels of ET-1.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of ethanol precipitation in depleting the human serum albumin. Methods: Serum samples from 8 healthy controls and 8 lung adenocarcinoma patients were treated with 100% ethanol to deplete the albumin.The results of the albumin depletion were analyzed by 1-D gel electrophoresis and albumin quantitation. Results: After ethanol treatment,1-D gel images of the serum samples showed a near depletion of albumins a presence of low-abundance proteins.There was no difference in the 1-D gel images between the normal and lung adenocarcioma serum samples.The average concentrations of albumin in the ethanol-treated serum samples were(5.88 ? 0.35) g/L and(5.50 ? 0.53) g/L respectively in the control and lung adenocarcinoma groups.Conclusion: Ethanol precipitation can deplete most of the human serum albumins and thereby assist us in further analysis of human serum proteomics.

Background and Objective:Lung adenocarcinoma is,at present,the most common malignancy in the world and its overall 5-year survival rate is disappointing.Because most of the patients are diagnosed at advanced stage,early diagnosis may improve the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption and Ionization Mass Spectrometry(SELDI) is one of the currently used techniques to identify biomarkers for cancers.This study explored the application of serum SELDI proteomic patterns to distinguish lung adenocarcinoma patients from healthy individuals.Methods:Serum samples from 71 lung adenocarcinoma patients,71 healthy volunteers with matched gender,age and history of smoking were analyzed using WCX2 ProteinChip to select potential biomarkers.Proteomic spectra were generated by mass spectrometry.Results:Five highly expressed potential biomarkers were identified with the relative molecular weights of 4047.79?1.60,4203.99?1.91,4959.81?2.13,5329.30?2.55 and 7760.12?4.11.The sensitivity for diagnosing lung adenocarcinoma was 90.14%,78.87%,50.70%,57.75%,73.24%;and specificity was 97.18%,92.96%,70.42%,76.06%,94.37%,when the critical point was made 1.5.Conclusions:SELDI-TOF-MS ProteinChip technology is a quick,easy,convenient,and highoutput analyzing method that it is capable of selecting several relatively specific,potential biomarkers from the serum of lung adenocarcinoma patients and may have clinic value.

Objective To explore a new method of comparing the references images first to enhance the precision of the central point of the radiation treatment planning(RTP), try to establish a reference standard for this method in the nasopharyngeal cancer(NPC)and carcinoma of utercin cervix in the work of position verification. Methods For 50 RTPs of NPC and 20 RTPs of carcinoma of utercin cervix, the reference-CT-images in set-up and in position verification were compared, and to measure the difference between the two images. Then, in the same way, compare and measure the difference in the central-pointimages. Results For NPC, there was over 90% RTPs in which every difference measured was less than 2 mm;for carcinoma of utercin cervix, over 80% RTPs meet the criterion:the value of △MU1 ' or △MU2' was less than 5 mm and the others are less than 3 mm. Conclusions By comparing the references-CT-images in set-up and in position verification, the precision of the central point of the RTP is enhanced. The marks on the skin become more credible. So, it is feasible to perform the criterions in the work of position verification:for NPC every difference measured is less than 2 mm;for carcinoma of utercin cervix the value of △MU1 ' or △MU2 ' is less than 5 mm and the others are less than 3 mm.
