OBJECTIVE: To study on the effect of different extracting methods on the content determination of polysaccharide from Caulis Dendrobii.METHODS: Polysaccharide was extracted from Caulis Dendrobii respectively by reflux extraction,improved reflux extraction,ultrasound wave extraction and ultrasonic-assisted thermal reflux extraction.The content of polysaccharide was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method.RESULTS: The determined results using these methods were as follows:(13.473?0.634)%,(15.692?0.743)%,(11.87?0.536)% and (16.29?0.407)%.CONCLUSION: The content determination of polysaccharide from Caulis Dendrobii was associated with the extraction method.The polysaccharide from Caulis Dendrobii could be extracted more thoroughly and rapidly by ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology.Therefore this method could be used to pretreat the sample in content determination of Caulis Dendrobili polysaccharide.

Objective To study the expressions of α1-AT and VEGF-C in human bronchoalveolarcarcinorrm, and the relation of the expression to the patholo~cM differentiation and clinical stage. Methods All 49 Darffin embedding samples of patients with bronchoalveolar carcinoma were studied. α1-AT and VEGF-C were detected by immunohistochemical SP method.Automated image analyzer was used to quantify α1-AT and VEGF-C expressions.Results The immunohistochemical positive stainings of α1-AT and VEGF-C in brown or dark brown were located in cytopla8m.The expression levels of α1-AT and VEGF-C were not related with the gender,age,tumor position and size,and histology subtypos(P>0.05).It Was found that the expression of α1-AT in patients with local lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than those without node metastasis(P<0.001).It was found that the expression of VEGF-C in patients with local node metastasis significantly higher than th08e without node metastasis(P<0.001).There Was a negative correlation between the expression level of α1-AT and the expression level of VEGF-C in bronchoalveolar carcinoma(r=-0.324,P<0.05).Conclusion α1-AT and VEGF-C could be secreted by bronehoalveolar carcinoma.Bronehoalveolar carcinoma with lower α1-AT expression and higher VEGF-C expression is more likely to have lymph node metastasis.Lower α1-AT expression and higher VEGF-C expression can participate in the mechanism of lymph node metastasis in carcinoma together.

Surgery remains an important therapeutic method for localized esophageal cancer, but the 5?year survival rate of patients undergoing surgical resection alone is only 20%?25%. Early studies show that postoperative radiotherapy reduced regional recurrence rate, but did not increase the survival rate. Most recent studies show that stage Ⅲ or lymph node?positive patients can obtain survival benefit from postoperative radiotherapy, and patients in pT2?3 N0 M0 stage may also benefit from postoperative radiotherapy. The recommended radiotherapy target volumes include bilateral supraclavicular areas, superior mediastinum, subcarinal area, and tumor bed. It is recommended in most studies that regional lymph nodes in the upper abdomen should be included in patients with lower?segment lesions. The locally advanced patients may benefit more from postoperative radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. The significance of postoperative radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, target volume design, and combined chemotherapy need individualized consideration and more clinical evidence.

Objective To observe the influence of peripheral serum came from patients with hepatectomy at different time points on hepatocyte proliferation in vitro. Methods According to the different types of cultured serum, cultured HL-7702 cells were divided into fetal bovine serum (FBS) group, preoperative serum group, 0.5 h, 3 h, 24 h and 72 h post operative serum groups. All groups of cells were cultured for 72 hours in the Cell-IQ unmarked living cell image analysis system, and the amplification curves of each group were mapped by continuous counting of cells. The cell amplification multiple was compared between all groups after culturing for 72 hours. BrdU immunofluorescence staining was performed and BrdU positive rate was calculated for comparing the cell proliferation of all groups. Results Amplification curves showed that HL-7702 cell proliferation rates of all human serum groups except for 72 h post operative group were higher than those of FBS group. Human serum 0.5 h and 3 h postoperative groups were more obvious. The amplification multiples of human serum groups, except for 72 h post operative group were all significantly higher than those of FBS group (P<0.01), and 0.5 h and 3 h post operative groups were both significantly higher than those of preoperative group (P < 0.05). BrdU positive rates of all human serum groups were significantly higher than those of FBS group (P < 0.01), which were significantly higher in 0.5 h and 3 h post operative groups than those of preoperative group (P < 0.05), but there were no statistical differences between 24 h and 72 h post operative groups and the preoperative group. Conclusion Human serum can promote the proliferation of hepatocytes compared with that of FBS. The influence of serum acquired post hepatectomy is closely associated with the post operative time.

Chemoradiotherapy is a major treatment for inoperable esophageal carcinoma (EC).However, there is still controversy over the target volume for radiation, particularly nodal target volume.EC is characterized by a high rate of lymph node metastasis, and its metastatic pattern is not always predictable.Elective nodal irradiation (ENI) will increase the radiation field, which may increase the incidence of adverse events.Some investigators used involved-field irradiation (IFI) to reduce treatment-related toxicities without compromising survival.Studies have demonstrated that regional and distant micrometastases can be controlled, to some extent, by chemotherapy, incidental irradiation, and the abscopal effects of radiation.With either ENI or IFI, EC recurrence is usually found in the primary tumor and at distant sites, without survival difference.These data suggest that IFI is feasible in EC patients.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM,WHO grade IV) contains some glioma stem cells which have unique self-renewal capacity and multilineage potency.There are numerous neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of adult human brain;it may also act as a storehouse of glioma stem cells that can promote the development and recurrence of a tumor.GBM involving SVZ is prone to early recurrence and intracranial metastasis after resection,so irradiation of the SVZ potentially influences the survival of GBM patients.This review provides a summary of related experimental and clinical studies,and discusses the value of irradiation of the SVZ in GBM patients and the direction of future research.

BACKGROUNDChemotherapy is an important treatment for un-resectable lung cancer patients. The aim of this study is to investigate effects and safety of weekly paclitaxel/cisplatin as first-line chemotherapy in un-resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODSThirty-eight initially treated patients (male/female: 20/18) with un-resectable NSCLC were enrolled for the study. They were at ages ranging from 33 to 82 years old with ECOG PS of 0 to 2. Paclitaxel 80mg/m² was given by intravenous infusion on 1st and 8th day, and cisplatin 25mg/m² on 2th to 6th days, 3 to 4 weeks was one cycle. The responses and toxicity of chemotherapy were evaluated after six cycles and the patients were followed up.
RESULTSIn 38 patients, partial response and complete response were observed in 21 cases and 1 case, respectively with overall response rate of 57.9%. The response rate in cases with ECOG of 0 to 1 was significantly higher than those with ECOG PS of 2 (69.0% vs 22.2%). Median survival time was 14 months and 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rate were 63.8%, 29.5% and 16.2% respectively. Main Toxicities were leucopenia and alopecia, and all patients could tolerate the side effects and there was no drug-related death associated with myelotoxicity.
CONCLUSIONSRegimen of paclitaxel/cisplatin was efficient and safe as the first-line treatment for un-resectable NSCLC patients.
