Neuroblastoma (NB)is a common malignant solid tumor in childhood,which has various clinical manifestations.It is difficult to diagnose and to prone to early metastasis.It is one of the main diseases causing death in childhood.The treatment of children with high-risk NB is still very challenging.At present,the treatments of NB mainly concentrated in the surgery,chemotherapy,radiation therapy and transplantation technology,etc.In recent years,more studies focus on targeted therapy and molecular biology (genetics) treatment.Targeted therapy is targeted to different specific loci of tumor,so as to kill tumor cells and reduce the impact on the normal tissue,which supplies more safe and effective treatments for children with NB.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of the extract mixture of alfalfa and perilla on lowering serum lipid, protecting liver and aortic wall in rats. Methods: Sixty SD rats were divided into six groups and were fed different diet. After seven or fourteen days, the rats were put to death and measured for serum lipids, cholesterol content of liver and aortic wall, and pathological change of the tissue. Results: There was a significant increase of serum TC, LDL-C, cholesterol content of liver and aortic wall in the high-fat fed rats. Under light microscope, there were lipid droplets and cholesterol crystal in liver of group high-fat. Compared with the group high-fat, the rats had a significant decrease of those measurements in serum or in tissue in the alfalfa and perilla group. Conclusions: The extract mixture of alfalfa and perilla could prevent the increase of serum TC, LDL-C, cholesterol content of liver and aortic wall in high-fat fed rats, and also prevent the fatty infiltration and cholesterol deposit of liver.

Five inner ears were removed from five rabbits under aneasthesia. The hard, thick bones of outer and middle ears were trimmed off, and the auditory ossicles were taken away. The cochleae were fixed with 2％ glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer for eight hours, then they were decalcified in 10％ EDTA-2Na solution for ten days, and the softened shells of the cochleae were stripped off, and post-fixed in 1％ OsO_4 for an hour, dried at critical point, coated with gold, and observed under SEM.The rabbit cochlea shows two and a half turns, the modiolus is about 3.5mm high, and the organ of Corti lies on the basilar membrane of the spiral lamina. The outer hair cells usually form three parallel rows on the middle and basal turns but occasionally four rows on the top half turn. The inner hair cells form only a single row. Every bunch of the outer hairs consists of about 93-114 stereocilia which together show a "W" shape. Every bunch of inner hairs has about 50 cilia which together show an arch shape. The cilia on the top turn are longer than those on the base. The length and width of the inner and outer hair cells and four other kinds of cells were measured according to photos, and the numbers of these kinds of cells were estimated.Other three cochleae fixed at the time of 1, 2 or 4 hours after death were also observed. In the cochlea fixed four hours after death, the majority of the auditory hairs were found fallen down, which means the fixation of cochlea should be carried out within less than four hours after death.Some of the structural similarities and differences of cochleae among rabbit,human being and guinea pig were also compared in this paper.

Lipocalin-2 is an adipocytokine secreted mainly by adipose tissue. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that lipocalin-2 is an inflammatory factor associated with insulin resistence, obesity and its complications. The precise mechanism of the development of obesity-related disorders induced by lipocalin-2 is not very clear, however, it may be a useful target in drug therapy for obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

Health care policy should follow principles of total efficiency, no-harm, fairness and justice as ethi-cal standards for public policy. Diagnosis Related Groups( DRGs) as a sign of new health care reform ( NHCR) is implemented as a pilot program across the country, with the obvious function of suppressing excessive growth in medi-cal costs and over-treatment. From the dimension of ethical values, the DRGs has avoided unethical individuals, fol-lowed the principle of total efficiency and achieved the equalization of social security. However it has also increased ethical risks and been adverse to the development of medical research. To realize the reasonable development of DRGS, the construction of DRGs must be improved, and security policies must be reasonable and feasible; orderly measures must be established to ensure promotion and implementation;the government’s financial investment must be increased to protect the social welfare of public hospitals;a sound communication mechanism must be implemented, and interaction between medical institutions and insurance institutions must be strengthened.

Objective To observe the changes in help T cell 1/2 cytokines and transcription factors in murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infected newborn mice and to determine the effectiveness of intervention with thymopentin.Methods One hundred and twenty newborn BALB/c mice were randomized into a blank group,model group and thymopentin group,with 40 mice in each group.Mice in the model and thymopentin group received an intraperitoneal injection of MCMV suspension within 4-6 hours after birth at the dosage of 20 μ L to and tissue culture infections dose of 10431 U/0.1 ml,establish a systemic infection model,and the same volume of normal saline was injected into mice in the control group.Mice in the thymopentin group also received thymopentin 0.3 mg/(kg · d).On Day 3,5,7,10 and 14,8 mice in each group were sacrificed and their splenic tissues were harvested.Interferon (IFN) γ and interleukin (IL)-10 expression in the supernatant of a splenic lymphocyte culture was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.T-bet/GATA-3 mRNA in splenic tissues were analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.One way ANOVA,including LSD and Dunnett T3 methods,was used for statistical analysis.Results (1) IFN-γ expression in the model and thymopentin groups peaked on Day 3,and was higher than that in the control group [(280.73 ± 14.88),(286.03 ± 15.44) and (149.42±5.43) pg/ml,respectively,F=183.532,P=0.000].Expression in the thymopentin group decreased after Day 3,and increased by Day 7.At Day 14,the IFN-γ expression level in the thymopentin group was higher than that in the control and model groups [(252.33±8.33),(149.07±7.05) and (148.57±4.53) pg/ml,respectively,F=385.487,P=0.000].(2) IL-10 expression in the model group gradually increased.By Day 14,the expression became obviously higher than that in the control and thymopentin groups [(71.19± 1.50),(36.67 ± 2.55) and (40.01 ± 1.28) pg/ml,respectively,F=523.670,P=0.000].IL-10 expression in the thymopentin group increased after Day 3 and decreased by Day 7.On Day 14,the expression in the thymopentin group was lower than that in the model group,but higher than that in the control group.(3) T-bet mRNA expression was obviously increased in the model and thymopentin groups.On Day 3,the expression was higher than that in the control group (relative value of gray-scale:0.74±0.02,0.71 ±0.04 and 0.30±0.01,respectively,F=741.630,P=0.000).By Day 3,the expression in the thymopentin group decreased,and gradually recovered on Day 5,and on Day 14 it was higher than that in the control and model groups (relative value of gray-scale:0.45 ± 0.01,0.30±0.01 and 0.30±0.01,respectively,F=257.571,P=0.000).(4) GATA-3 mRNA expression in the model and thymopentin groups increased on Day 3,and was higher than that in the control group (relative value of gray scale:0.48±0.02,0.53±0.01 and 0.33±0.01,respectively,F=345.167,P=0.000).On Day 14,the expression in the model group was higher than that in the thymopentin group,which was higher than that in the control group (relative value of gray-scale:0.99 ± 0.02,0.55 ± 0.02 and 0.34 ± 0.01,respectively,F=1 767.505,P=0.000).Conclusions A Th1/Th2 shift may be induced in MCMV infected neonatal mice,which manifests as a state of predominant Th2 response.Thymopentin can ameliorate this situation.
