Various conditions were compared for extracting the proteolytic enxyme from the alimentary canal of Pneumatophorus juponicus (Houttuyn). The results showed that when using CaCl2 as activator, the suitable conditions were pH7. 5,extracting temperature 20 C,extracting time 2h,activiting time 16h,70% alcohol precipitaion.

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of various autoantibodies and may cause injuries to multiple organs,with kidney as the most common and important organ involved.Autoantibodies are of great importance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of autoimmune renal diseases.Lupus nephritis,anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis and antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease are the most common autoimmune renal diseases.Anti-C1q antibody,ANCA and anti-GBM antibody play important roles in those diseases,respectively.Appropriate and steady detecting methods are crucial to clinicians,and the results should also be interpreted with great cautions.

Docetaxel and vinorelbine, which were plant alkaloids, had showed the good activities as chemotherapy of breast cancer. Combination chemotherapy with docetaxel and vinorelbine had drawn more and more attention. This papers reviewed the docetaxel/vinorelbine combination treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To study the relationship between serum homocysteine level and acute type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction.Methods Patients were divided into three groups:acute diabetic cerebral infarction group including 87 patients,diabetes mellitus including 72 patients and control group including 67 healthy persons.The HCY,folic acid,VitB12 and serum lipid were determined.The data was analyzed and the relationship was discussed.Results The level of HCY in diabetic cerebral infarction group[(15.7 ±9.7)nmol/L]was much higher than that in the other two groups[(11.9±7.2)nmol/L and(13.5±6.1)nmol/L].Conclusion HCY maybe participate in occurrence and development of diabetes and pathological changes of blood vessels.It was an independent risk factor of acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To evaluatethe application value of APACHE Ⅱ on the prognoses in prediction of pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration to cure severe cerebral hemorrhage.Methods APACHE Ⅱ scoring system was conducted in randomly collected 58 severe cerebral hemorrhage patients' data (30 patients underwent surgical treatment,28 patients underwent conservative treatment)to evaluate the disease severity,prognosis and effect of the pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration.Results The APACHE Ⅱ score of treatment group on the first day was 28.00 ± 1.92 and the predicted mortality was 0.86 ±0.03.The score was decreased obviously on the tenth day(8.20 ± 0.76)and the predicted mortality was 0.57 ± 0.05.The actual mortality was 33.33％.Conclusion APACHE Ⅱ scoring system is suitable for judging the disease severity and predicting the prognosis of severe cerebral hemorrhage patients,it proves that surgical treatment effect of the pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration is remarkable.

Breast cancer is regarded as a heterogenous disease classified into different molecular subtypes,resulting in different biologic behavior and sensitivity to treatment respectively.Molecular biology typing that based gene expression profiles and biological characteristics of breast cancer can reflect the biological behavior of tumors exactly,which has important clinical significance.

Arsenic trioxide (As2O3)is the main component of traditional Chinese medicine arsenic,which was initially used in the treatment of blood system diseases.In recent years,studies have found that it also has a good effect on a variety of solid tumors,especially gastric cancer.It has been confirmed that As2O3 can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,induce apoptosis and protective autophagy,inhibite lymphatic formation and angiogenesis,affect the expression of telomere-related proteins in gastric cancer cells.
