Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs).Methods Clinical and pathological data of the 32 GISTs cases treated over the recent 5 years in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively.Results Stomach was the most frequent site for GISTs.Abdominal pain was the most common symptom.Before operation,81.3%(26/32) of the cases were misdiagnosed.All of the cases underwent surgical resection.10 recurrent GIST patients received a second resection,and 8 patients(underwant) three or more resections.Follow-up was made from six months to 5 years,and 8 patients died.Conclusions The diagnosis of GISTs is difficult and mainly depends on histopathology and(immunohistochemistry).Surgical resection is the principal treatment of GISTs.Reoperation is effective for the treatment of recurrent cases.

The paper summarized the successful experience such as preliminarily establishing cultivation mechanism of manufacture-learning-research cooperation for postgraduates of science of Chinese pharmacology of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine,ensuring innovation ability training for postgraduates,getting reasonable configuration for social education resources,and put forward existing problems in traditional Chinese medicine system,such as the loose management and faulty evalution system.Suggestion is to futher perfect relevant rules and regulations,clear and definite responsibility of school and enterprise,reserch regularly to impove ideological education of postgraduates,etc.In the way,we can achieve the aim of promoting high-level talents of traditional Chinese medicine industry.

Objective To explore the MRI findings of placental protusion sign in predicting postpartum hemorrhage in patients with placenta previa.Methods Totally 354 placenta previa patients with whole clinical data underwent MR scaning 2 weeks before operation.Association of postpartum hemorrhage and placental protusion sign was analyzed.Results Among 354 patients with placental previa,the age of the pregnant women (x2 =4.34,P=0.04),gestational age at delivery (x2 =5.19,P=0.02) and the number of cesarean sections (x2 =44.85,P<0.01) had associated with postpartum hemorrhage.Eight cases had placental protusion sign in MRI,while 6 cases occurred postpartum hemorrhage.The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage was 75.00% (6/8) and 12.72% (44/346) in patients with placenta accreta and with placental abruption,respectively (x2 =20.14,P<0.01).The sensitivity,specificity,odds ratio (95% confidence interval) and positive likelihood ratio of predicting postpartum hemorrhage was 12.00% (6/50),99.34% (302/304),20.59 (4.03,105.23) and 15.68,respectively.Conclusion MRI placental protrusion sign has important clinical reference value in predicting postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the association of HIF-1αand VEGF signaling in missed abortion. Methods Fifty patients with missed abortion were selected as study group, and fifty early pregnant women who underwent artificial abortion surgery were selected as control group. The expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF were measured by immunohis-tochemistry. Results The expressive rate of VEGF was 100%in the control group and 66% in the study group. The ex-pressive rate of HIF-1α was 42% in the control group and 76% in the study group. Compared with the control group, the expression of VEGF was statistically reduced(P<0.05) while the level of HIF-1α was significantly up-regulated(P<0.05)in the study group. In the control group, HIF-1αwas positively correlated with VEGF(r=0.387,P<0.05), while in the study group HIF-1α was close negatively correlated with VEGF(r=-0.298,P>0.05). Conclusion The decrease of VEGF and increase of HIF-1αin villous trophoblastic cells may be signals of occurrence of missed abortion.

Objective To investigate the effects of force on mechanical stability of FLNa-Ig21/αⅡbβ3-CT complex and the regulation mechanism.Methods The FLNa-Ig21/αⅡbβ3-CT crystal structures were taken from the PDB database.The stability of the complexes in a physiological environment as well as the unfolding path and mechanical stability induced by mechanical forces were analyzed using equilibrium and steered molecular dynamics simulations.Results During the equilibration,the survival rate of most salt bridge and hydrogen bonds was below 0.5,and the interactions between FLNa-Ig21 and αⅡbβ3-CT was relatively weak.During stretching at a constant velocity,the complex could withstand a tensile force of 70-380 pN,and its mechanical strength depended on the force-induced dissociation path.Under a constant force of 0-60 pN,the complexes exhibited a slipping-bond trend,and the force increase facilitated the breakage of the R995-D723 salt bridge and the activation of αⅡbβ3 integrin.Conclusions The force-induced allostery of αⅡbβ3-MP enhanced the complex mechanical strength and delayed FLNa-Ig21 dissociation from αⅡbβ3-CT.After breaking through the 20 pN threshold,force positively regulated the activation of αⅡbβ3 integrin.These results provide insights into the molecular mechanism of αⅡbβ3 activation and the development of related targeted drugs.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the optimization of development policy of traditional Chinese medicine. METHODS ROSTCM text mining analysis software was adopted to screen the literature preliminarily ,the PMC policy index model was built ,and the results by PMC index and visual PMC surface were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 33 policies related to traditional Chinese medicine were included ,and 10 primary variables and 46 secondary variables were set. The average PMC index of 33 policies was 6.15,of which 2 were excellent policies and the rest were good policies. Among the primary variables ,the scores of policy openness ,policy evaluation and policy field were relatively high ,while the scores of release time ,policy level and policy type were low. The analysis of sink index and secondary variables showed that the macro planning of national policies was not specific enough in terms of policy objectives and contents ,with low score ,while the local policies were usually planned in detail. Generally speaking ,there is still much room for improvement in the policies related to the development of traditional Chinese medicine in terms of policy system construction ,government investment ,talent construction , financing supporting policies ,market access rules ,responsible subjects and legal guarantee.
