Objective To compare the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopy plus minithoracotomy(VAMT) and limited axillary thoracotomy(LAT) for the treatment of lung cancer.Methods 85 consecutive lung cancer patients were treated by either VAMT or LAT.The operative time,blood loss during operation,postoperative chest drainage time,and hospital stay time and postoperative complication were compared between the two groups.Results There was no death in two groups.The operative time and blood loss during operation were significant less in VAMT than inLAT(t =6.514,2.413,all P <0.05).But postoperative chest drainage time,and hospital stay time and postoperative complication were no significant difference between the two groups (t =0.490,0.338,all P > 0.05).Conclusion VAMT is a safe and less traumatic procedure in the treatment of lung cancer,which is worthy of promotion and application.

Merely having complete sequences of genomes is not sufficient to elucidate biological function. Proteomics is complementary to genomics because it focuses on the large scared gene products, which are the active agents in cells. As almost all the drugs are directed against proteins, proteomics have been widely used in pharmacological research.Proteomics profiling in drug target identification, toxicological and drug resistances research was reviewed.

Objective:To improve the quality standard for Kangshiming mixtures. Methods:The identification of Angelicae Sinen-sis Radix, Astragali Radix and Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex was carried out by TLC. The contents of puerarin and paeoniflorin in the preparations were determined by HPLC. Results:The spots displayed in TLC were clear without interference from the negative control. The linear range for puerarin was 1. 64-49. 20μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) and 4. 22-63. 30μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 6) for paeoniflorin. The average recovery was 99. 63%(RSD=2. 14%,n=9) and 99. 05%(RSD=2. 70%,n=9) for puerarin and paeoniflorin, respectively. Conclusion:The method is accurate, reliable and specific, and can be used in the quality control of Kangshiming mixtures.

Objective To discuss about the relationship between the occurrence of the uterine cervix cancer and the risk factors.MethodsAmong the patients we collected,92 patients were diagnosed to have the cervical cancer,63 patients were diagnosed as CINⅢ (the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia,CIN),and 252 patients belonged to the control group.All patients had not been cured before.We used the questionnaire to investigate them about the dietary habit and other information.Through using different statistical Methods ,we explored the relationship between the cervical cancer and the potential factors.ResultsWe found out that many factors contributed to the happening of the cervical cancer,such as gynecopathy(χ2=19.31,P<0.01),the first time of the menses(F=11.62,P<0.01),the first time of the sex life(F=25.76,P<0.01),the first time of the parturition (F=28.02,P<0.01),the times of the pregnancy and the parturition(F1=13.98,P1<0.01;F2=4.78,P2<0.01),the culture degree(χ2=10.70,P<0.05),the infection of HPV(χ2=179.95,P<0.01),the level of the folic acid (F=3.39,P<0.05) and so on.The result of the logistic regression analysis showed that keeping the habit of drinking tea(OR=0.321,β=-1.136,P<0.05),paying attention to the sanitation of the sex life(OR=0.387,β=-0.950,P<0.05),putting off the first time of the sex life(OR=0.551,β=-0.596,P<0.05),and the higher level of the folic acid (OR=0.502,β=-0.688,P<0.05) were the protective factors tothe occurrence of the uterine cervix cancer.Meanwhile,the infection of the HPV(OR=27.215,β=3.304,P<0.01),many times of the parturition(OR=1.846,β=0.613,P<0.05) and the passive smoking (OR=1.673,β=0.515,P<0.05) were the risk factors.ConclusionsWith the higher level of the folic acid,the less possibility you will get the cervical cancer.There exists many measures to prevent the happening of the cervical cancer,like keeping the healthy sex life,keeping far away from the passive smoking,not to give birth too early or too many and preventing being infected the HPV.What's more,having the good habit of drinking tea and paying attention to the supplement of the folic acid and Vitamin B12 may be the effective method to prevent the occurrence of the cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of midazolam on noise-induced hearing loss in guinea pigs by testing reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in the cochlea and plasma SOD and MDA. Methods Totally forty male pigmented guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups: control (C) , midazolam (M), normal saline (S) and noise-induced deafened (D) groups, with ten guinea pigs in each. Groups M, S and D were exposed to a continuous noise (4kHz , octave band, 100dB SPL) 3h every day for 3 consecutive days. Group M was treated with midazolam, which was administered intramuscularly (0.1mg/kg) 24h before noise exposure, and immediately upon and during noise exposure. Group S was exposed to noise and treated with the same volume of normal saline intramuscularly, the time of injection was the same as that of Group M. Group C was not exposed to noise, but was treated with midazolam intramuscularly, the time of injection and the dosage were the same as those of Group M. Group S was exposed to noise and treated with normal saline intramuscularly ,the time of injection was same with that of Group M.Group D was exposed to noise only. All animals received auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold recording before and immediately after noise exposure. Blood was collected when the guinea pigs were killed after the last ABR threshold recording, and serum SOD activity and MDA content were detected. Both the cochleae were removed and prepared for ROS assay. Results After noise exposure, ABR threshold shift (1.6±1.5) and ROS content [(291.10±2.30)u/mL] in Group M were significantly lower than those in Groups S and D [41.7±3.3, 44.3±3.9; (348.52±3.60)u/mL, (315.56±6.70)u/mL, P<0.05]. Serum SOD activity and MDA content were significantly increased in Group M, but the amplitude was less than that in Groups S and D.Conclusion Midazolam can prevent noise-induced hearing loss by reducing the increased ROS level in the cochlea after noise exposure.
