Objective: To investigate the role of intraoperative ultrasound(IOUS) and appropriate approach in local resection for the central small hepatocellular carcinoma(sHCC) which is deeply situated within the parenchyma and adjacent to the hepatic veins. Methods: under IOUS guidance, local resection was carried out for 8 cirrhotic patients with central sHCC which was deeply located and adjacent to hepatic veins by approach of splitting or unroofing superficial hepatic parenchyma. Results: All tumors were precisely localized by IOUS and excised successfully. Except for injury to central hepatic vein in 1 case, no other injury occurred to the hepatic veins in the remaining 7 cases. There was no postoperative mortality, and the liver function recovered well in all cases postoperatively. Conclusion: Local resection by using IOUS and appropriate approach is applicable for the cirrhotic patients with deeply located central sHCC. IOUS plays an important role in avoidance of injuries to the hepatic veins.

The mitogen-actived protein kinase(MAPK)is one of important ways in eukaryote signal transmission network,and plays the key role in the gene expression regulation and the cytoplasm function activity.In the mammal organism,five kinds of different MAPK signal transduction passage.ERK1/2 signal transduction passage regulates cell growth and differentiation,JNK and p38 MAPK signal transduction passages play the vital role in the stress of inflammation and apoptosis etc.The activation of signal transduction passage is the typical characteristic of RA chronic synovitis,through this way to induct synoviocytes cytoplasm protein phosphorylation,then causes transcription factor and nucleoprotein c-Fos,c-Jun,AP-1 and NF-kappa B and so on phosphorylation,thus promotes cell proliferation and activation.It has the vital significance of the above-mentioned mechanism research to understand deeply and researche new medicine to RA.

Objective Atrophic gastritis, as a pre-cancerous condition of gastric cancer, is developed from non-atrophic gastritis.The aims of this study was to compare the gene expression profiles between atrophic gastritis and non-atrophic gastritis using cDNA microarray and to explore the molecular mechanisms in the development of atrophic gastritis. Methods Endoscopy and biopsy were performed consecutively in 227 patients (143 male, 84 female, age range between 16-72 years, with average age 48.6 years). Diagnosis of non-atrophic gastritis and atrophic gastritis was made according to histological examination, and 120 patients were in non-atrophic group and 107 in atrophic group. The total RNA was extracted from the biopsy specimens of two groups with Trizol reagent. cDNA microarray consisting 8 464 human genes (HGEC-80s kit) was used, and labeled cDNA with fluorescence probes were hybridized to microarray, and then the comparison of gene expression profiles was made between atrophic and non-atrophic gastritis. Results It was identified that in gene expression profiles of atrophic gastritis there were 165 genes showing a greater than 2-fold increase and 460 genes showing a greater than 50% decrease as compared to non-atrophic gastritis. RT-PCR analysis revealed similar results as in DNA microarray. Conclusions There is different expression in many genes between the gastric mucosal cells of non-atrophic and atrophic gastritis mucosa. Many genes expression profiles are involved in atrophic gastritis that would be of help in further understanding the development of atrophic gastritis.

Purpose:To investigate the therapeutic effect a nd toxicity of radiotherapy plus ultrasound hyperthermia for treatment of malign ant tumors. Methods:41 cases of locally advanced, recurrent or radioresista nt cancer treated from January 1997 to January 2000 were given radiotherapy plus Sonotherm 1000 ultrasound hyperthermia. The mean radiation dose was 61?12 Gy;h yperthermia was administered within 30 minutes following radiotherapy with mean heating time of (52.4?6) minutes at 1-2 times/week. 3-year local control and survival were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test, factors affec ting prognosis were analyzed by Cox regression. The significance of differences between temperatures was tested by one-way ANOVA. Results:There was significant difference between Tmin and Tmax on tumor local response. Tumor complete response was 58.5%, the 3-year local co ntrol and survival were 13.6%% and 32.69% respectively. There is significant cor relation between radiation dose, tumor volume, Tmin and 3-year local control ( P

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of ligustrazine injection(LTZ)on DNA synthesis of vascular endothelial cell.METHODS:In vitro cultured cell line of human umbilical vein endothelial cells,ECV304,were adopted to measure the ef?fects of LTZ on DNA synthesis by 3 H-TdR incorporation.RESULTS:LTZ could inhibit DNA synthesis of ECV304in a dose-dependent manner.CONCLUSION:The mechanism of anti-angiogenesis of LTS might be associated with inhibiting DNA synthesis of vascular endothelial cell.

Objective To investigate the effects of H. pylori infection on cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2) expression in gastric antral mucosa. Methods Antral biopsies were taken from 46 patients with chronic gastritis and H. pylori infection before and after anti H. pylori treatment. COX 2 protein was stained by immunohistochemical method. Gastritis and H. pylori infection status were graded according to the updated. Sydney system. Results Cytoplasmic staining of COX 2 protein could be detected in epithelial cell both before and after eradication of H. pylori . The mean percentage of the cells staining with COX 2 was significantly higher in H. pylori infected mucosa, compared with the mucosa after successful H. pylori eradication [(20.1?13.1)% vs (13.8?5.9)%, P
