From August 1989 to March 1994, 240 patients with esophageal carcinoma were studied. They were randomly divided into combined group (BFP chemotherapy plus radiotherapy, 120 cases), and radiotherapy alone group (120 cases). Both groups were treated by the same radiotherapy with dose of D T 50～70 Gy/5～7wk. The 1-,2-,3- and 4-year survival rates were 68.3%(82/120), 49.5%(47/95), 27.1%(19/70) and 15.6%(5/32) in BFP chemotherapy plus radiotherapy group and 44.1%(53/120), 28.4%(27/95), 22.9%(16/70), 15.6%(5/32) in radiotherapy alone group. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were obviously different in the two groups(P

Objective To investigate HIV infection via sex in Xinjiang,in order to provide guidance for the formulation of strategy to control and prevent sexual transmission of HIV.Methods Vistiors to 15 STD clinics in 5 cities of Xinjiang were asked to take blood and to be tested for HIV and RPR.At the same time,medical workers carried out the designed investigation.Result A total of 2 499 STD outpatients were investigated,among whom 28 samples were confirmed to be HIV positive and 145 samples were RPR positive;the infection rate was 1.12% and 5.80%,respectively,with male being 0.97% and female being 1.37% in the positive samples.The Han nationality had 8 HIV positive samples,and the Uygur nationality had 20 positive samples,with the positive rate being 0.44% and 3.49%,respectively.The Han nationality had 66 and the uygur had 79 in RPR positive samples,the positive rate being 3.66% and 13.79%,respectively.In 212 cases of syphilis 4 samples were HIV positive,the infection rate being 1.89%;in 420 cases of GU 10 samples were HIV positive,the infection rate being 2.38%.Our behavioral surveys found that those who 100% used condoms in their sex activities were free of HIV infection,while those who never used condoms had a high ratee of infection,up to 2.77%.Conclusion Sex transmission is becoming an important route of spreading HIV infection in Xinjiang,and therefore it is essential to strengthen serological and behavioral surveillance for high risk population and implement effective interventions for them.

Objective To investigate the effect of extracorporeal cjrcuit on the concentration of sufentanil the priming solution.Methods The extracorporeal circuit (ECC) of Xi-jing-90 type (group A) was used in the study,while incontrol group (group B) a glass container was used.The ECC and glass container were filled with priming solution (succinylated Gelatin 1000 ml + lactated Ringer's solution 1000 ml).Sufentanil 15 μg was then added to the priming solution (the final concentration was 7.5 ng/ml).The priming solution was circulated in the closed ECC or stirred in the glass container.The concentration of sufentanil in the priming solution was determined at 3,5,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 and 90 min after addition of sufentanil by gas chromatography.Results The sufentanil concentration in.the priming solution decreased in group A at the different time points respectively as compared with group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Sufentanil can significantly be absorbed by the extracorporeal circuit.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the purity determination of bisacodyl by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and the valuation of uncertainty. METHODS:DSC was conducted to detect the purity of bisacodyl and determine the optimal testing condi-tions. According to related standards,indium enthalpy change values,measurement repeatability,weighing process,instrument tem-perature deviation and system software deviation were systematically analyzed. The results were verified by HPLC. RESULTS:When the fiducial probability P was 0.95,the standard value and uncertainty of content of bisacodyl was (99.88 ± 0.06)% mea-sured by DSC. Weighing process,instrument temperature deviation and system software deviation had great effects on the total un-certainty. The result of HPLC and DSC were the same. CONCLUSIONS:The established DSC can quickly and accurately determine the chemical purity of bisacodyl. The uncertainty evaluation is reliable. Regularly calibrated and verificated equipment and strict con-trol of the weighing process will help to improve the accuracy measured by DSC;and it provides a new analysis method for the de-termination of purity of bisacodyl.

Objective To observe the changes of the intercellular spaces of squamous epithelium of lower esophagus in gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).Methods Eleven outpatients with GERD symptoms more than 3 months [6 with nonerosive reflex disease(NERD)and 5 with erosive esophagitis(EE)]and 5 healthy volunteers were recruited.All of them underwent endoscopy and 24-hr ambulatory pH monitoring.Biopsies were taken in lower esophagus(2 cm above Z-line)for electron microscope examination.Results Intercellular spaces of esophageal epithelial cell in volun teers,NERD patients and EE patients were (0.374?0.073)?m,(1.308?0.079)?m and (1.332?0.144)?m respectively,with significant differences between the control group and the NERD or EE group.There was no difference between NERD group and EE group.Conclusions Dilated intercellular spaces were seen in both NERD and EE cases,which was significantly different from the control cases.

Objective To measure and compare the expression profdes of plasma miRNA between Tibetan and Han nationality.Methods Plasma samples were taken from 246 healthy Tibetans and 128 Han individuals.The randomly selected 50 Tibetan and Han plasma samples were pooled respectively and the levels of 754 miRNAs were examined using a TaqMan Low Density Array.Two markedly differentially expressed miRNAs,miR-130a-3p and miR-629-5p,were verified in all the plasma samples by individual qRT-PCR.Results The Low Density Array results showed that the correlation coefficient of expression profiles of plasma miRNA for the Tibetan and Han population was 0.592.Compared with Han population,the expression levels of 139 miRNAs were distinctly different,in Tibetan (62 up-regulated and 77 down-regulated).The levels of miR-130a-3p and miR-629-5p were further verified to be significantly higher in the plasma from Tibetans than those in the plasma from Han population [(467 ± 27.30) × 10-5 vs (236 ± 9.69) × 10-5,p ＜ 0.01;(14.67 ±0.94) × 10-5 vs(7.58 ± 0.52) × 10-5,P ＜ 0.01] by qRT-PCR assay.Conclusion There may be marked difference of plasma miRNA expression profile between Tibetan and Han nationality.The influence of the nationality factors on miRNA profiles should be taken into account in the application of miRNAs in clinical detection in the future.

Objective To investigate the sensitivity and variability factors that were assessed on the forced swimming test (FST) using BALB/C and Kunming mice. Methods The immobility time of FST was compared using Kunming and BALB/C mice in different experimental conditions including circadian rhythm ( day and night) ,gender and water temperature ( 12,22 and 32℃ ) . Results (①) The immobility time of BALB/C during the daytime( ( 142.42 ± 33.58) s) was significantly increased than that at night ( ( 104.89 ± 34.33 ) s). (② The immobility time of Kunming mice( (91.95 ± 40.32) s) was significantly decreased than that of BALB/C mice ( ( 142.42 ± 33.58 ) s). (③)The immobility time under the water temperature of 22 C ( ( 92.24 ± 25.81 ) s) was significant longer than that under the water temperature of 32C ( (60.72 ± 11.11 ) s). Conclusion BALB/C stain,male mice,daytime and water temperature of 22℃ should be chosen in the FST.
