0.05),compared with the model group respectively.At the pathological stage of atypical hyperplasia,the expressing activity of Bcl-2 was significantly lower(P 0.05).There was a parallel tendency of expressing activity in either Bax mRNA or Bcl-2 mRNA with Bax or Bcl-2 itself respectively in any stage of pathology.Conclusion The anticancer effect of QBTRF was realized by regulating mitochondrion pathway in the developing process of carcinogenesis among rats.

Objective To investigate the value of nerve conduction studies (NCSs),F wave analysis,somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and skin sympathetic response (SSR) in the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods A total of 110 patients with diabetes mellitus were recruited as the diabetic group and another 50 well-matched healthy volunteers as the normal controls.Sensory and motor NCSs of the median,ulnar,posterior tibial and common peroneal nerves were performed.F waves were recorded from the median and posterior tibial nerves.SEPs elicited by stimulation to nerves of both the upper and lower limbs as well as SSRs were measured,all in both the diabetic group and the normal controls.Results The total rate of nerve conduction abnormality was 74.5% in the diabetic group,with sensory nerve conduction abnormalities more frequent and more severe among motor nerves in the extremities.The total rate of F wave abnormalities was 57.3% in the diabetic group.The rate in patients with normal distal motor conduction in their median and posterior tibial nerves was 50.7%.The total SEP abnormality rate was 70.0% with regard to the proximal peripheral nerve potentials in the diabetic group,but there was no obvious abnormality of the supraclavicular electrical potential in the upper limbs for those with normal sensory nerve conduction in the median nerve.The rate of occurrence of abnormality in the gluteus point potential in the lower limbs of those with normal posterior tibial sensory conduction was 62.5%.The total rate of SSR abnormalities was 80.0% in the diabetic group but 72% among those with normal nerve conduction in their extremities.Combining the NCS,SSR,SEP and F wave results,the total abnormality rate was 90.9% in the diabetic group,which was much higher than with any single test used alone.Conclusion NCS is essential for diagnosing DPN.Early diagnosis of subclinical diabetic neuropathy will be significantly enhanced when nerve conduction,SSRs,SEPs and F waves are tested together.

OBJECTIVETo Verify the safety and reliability of one-stage repair of complete cleft Lip and palate in infancy and to obtain the primary result.
METHODSThe simultaneous repair of complete cleft Lip and palate in infants 3 to 12 months of age were performed in 271 cases. The deformities include 185 cases of typical complete unilateral clefts and 75 cases of complete bilateral clefts, and other 11 atypical cleft infants. The preoperative orthopedic treatment for wide alveolar cleft was undertaken in 24 infants and the lip appearance and speech outcome were evaluated in 116 children by 1 to 4 years' postoperative follow-up.
RESULTSAll infants, except for dyspnea in 2 babies, palatal fistula formation in 6 cases and temporary wound hemorrhage in 5 infants, were recovered without complications. After orthopedic treatment, the width of the alveolar cleft was reduced 6.1 mm in average. The evaluation showed that 93.1% of children had got good or excellent lip appearance. And the acceptable or excellent speech was found in 94.8% children.
CONCLUSIONSSimultaneous repair of complete cleft lip and palate in infancy is safety and reliable. The preoperative orthopedic procedure is able to reduce the wide alveolar cleft and to achieve alignment of alveolar segments. The acceptable and or excellent lip appearance and speech function could be obtained in this one-stage operative procedure in infants.
