Objective To study the expression of MAGE-3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) with different differentiation grades. Method Immunohistochemical technique for MAGE-3 antigen was performed in paraffin embedded sections of 101 CRC specimens. The relationship between differentiation and Dukes classification of CRC and the expression of MAGE-3 antigen was analyzed. Result MAGE-3 was only expressed in tumor tissues with the total positive rate of 31.7%. The rate and intensity of MAGE-3 in poorly differentiated group were higher than that of the well differentiated group (P0.05). Conclusion MAGE-3 may be a specific molecular differentiation related marker of CRC. Its antigen may have potential use as a new peptide vaccine for immunotherapy for CRC.

The general clinical abilities of attending doctors are closely linked with the overall quality of patient care in a hospital. A set of quality standards for ward rounds by attending doctors were formulated in the author's hospital and an intensive evaluation was conducted by the experts team of the results of inspection and assessment. It is suggested that the hospital should tighten the quality control of ward rounds by attending doctors and pay serious attention to various problems that may occur. In particular, the hospital should set strict assessment standards for post qualification for attending doctors and strive to cultivate their clinical abilities after their post assumption. In addition, it should bring their talent into full play on the basis of vigorous management and assessment and discover and correct their shortcomings in ward rounds in a timely manner.

BACKGROUND: Typically antiepileptic drugs, such as phenobarbital, fenitoina sodica and diazepam, can inhibit amygdala kindling effect in rats. However, whether midazolam has the same effect is still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of midazolam on amygdala kindling onset in rats and maximal electroshock seizure (MES) in mice and effeots of antiepileptic drugs.DESIGN: This study was divided into three subexperiments, including the effects of midazolam on amygdala kindling onset, independent activities and incidence convulsion. All the three subexperiments were completely randomized,infra-group control or self-control studies.SETTING: Medical College of Qingdao University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Comprehensive Experimental Room, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University from August 2004 to March 2005. Nine Wistar rats weighing (250±10) g and 120 Kunming mice weighing (20±5) g and either gender were provided by Animal Center of Qingdao Institute of Drug Control.Midazolam (5 g/L) was provided by Xuzhou Enhua Drugs Co., Ltd. (batch number: 20030706).METHODS: ① Establishment of amygdala kindling models: Nine kindled rats were randomly selected and intraperitoneally injected with 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg midazolam, respectively. Quadri-pathway biological signal processing system (SMUP-PC) was used to measure discharge duration (ADD) and Racine's stage. ② Sixty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, including saline group, 40 mg/kg phenobarbital group, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg midazolam groups with 12 mice in each group. And then, numbers of activities in a unit time (times per 5 minutes) were determined by XZC-4A mini-animals independent activity instrument. ③ MES models were established to calculate incidence of convulsion.MATN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of midazolam on ADD, Racine's stage, numbers of independent activities and incidence of convulsion.RESULTS: All the 9 rats and the 120 mice were involved in the final analysis. ① Effect of midazolam on amygdala kindling onset: After intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg midazolam, ADD and Racine's stage were obviously lower than those before administration (P < 0.05-0.01). After intraperitoneal injection of 0.25 mg/kg midazolam, ADD was obviously lower than that before administration (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in Racine's stage. ②Effect of midazolam on independent activities of mice: Numbers of independent activities were lower in the phenobarbital group and 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg midazolam groups than those in the saline group (P < 0.01), while numbers of independent activities were higher in 0.5 mg/kg midazolam group than those in the phenobarbital group (P < 0.05). ③Effect of midazolam on maximal electroshock seizure: Incidence of convulsion was lower in the phenobarbital group and 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg midazolam groups than that in the saline group (P < 0.05-0.01), while Incidence of convulsion was higher in 0.5 mg/kg midazolam group than that in the phenobarbital group (P< 0.05).CONCLUSION: Midazolam can significantly inhibit amygdala kindling onset, reduce numbers of independent activities,and antagonist MES in mice.

Objective To observe the changes of plasma Von Willebrand factor(vWF) content in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) and late lung cancer(LLC) patients with Qi deficiency.Methods The changes of vWF content in 26 COPD patients with Qi deficiency and in 15 LLC patients with Qi deficiency were observed before and after treatment,and were compared with those in 30 healthy volunteers.Results Plasma vWF content before treatment was increased in COPD and LLC patients with Qi deficiency(P0.05).Conclusion Abnormal platelet activation exists in COPD and LLC patients with Qi deficiency,the function of vascular endothelial cells decreases,and the blood is in hypercoagulable state,which accords with the traditional Chinese medical theory of Qi failing in promoting blood circulation.

Objective To investigate the effect of Zhuang medicine acupuncture on brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) in patients with posterior circulation ischemic vertigo (PCIV).Methods Eighty-five PCIV patients were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 45 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The control group received conventional basic therapy and the treatment group, Zhuang medicine acupuncture in addition. The peak latencies (Pg) of BAEP waveⅠ ,Ⅰ andⅠ and the interpeak latencies (IPg) of waveⅠ-Ⅰ,Ⅰ-Ⅰ andⅠ-Ⅰ were compared between the two groups after treatment.Results There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in waveⅠ andⅠ Pg and waveⅠ-Ⅰ andⅠ-Ⅰ IPg between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Zhuang medicine acupuncture plus medication is an effective way to treat PCIV. It can improve BAEP indicators in the patients.
