Objective To study the clinical importance of TCM used in solidified therapy of colorectal cancer after radical resection. Method Prospective cohort study was applied to the trial, 84 cases in Xiyuan Hospital were selected to compare with 78 cases in western medicine hospital in the same time. The rates of relapse-metastasis and disease free survival of two groups were observed. Nine possible factors influencing disease-free survival were selected to analyze with COX regression model. Results 1-year, 2-year and 3-year relapse-metastasis rate of the teatment group were 0, 4.08% and 20% respectively, those were 5.12%, 22.91% and 36.11% in the control group. 1-year, 2-year and 3-year disease-free survival rate of teatment group were 100%, 95.91% and 80%, those were 94.87%, 77.08% and 63.88% in the control group. The main prognostic factors were lymph nodes metastasis and therapy. Conclusion TCM used in postoperative colorectal cancer could prevent relapse and metastasis.

AIM: To get large amounts of pure antigens to raise specific antibodies and to perform quantifications.METHODS: CYP2B6 (cytochrome P) cDNA fragments was ligated into BamHI restricted PGEX-3b to generate recombinants PGEX/2B6. We identified recombinants PGEX/2B6 by EcoRI digestion. The expression of fusion proteins were induced by adding isopropyl-thiogalactoside(IPTG). Several clones showed high-level expression of fusion proteins. Insoluble proteins was isolated from the bacteria and the fusion proteins was recovered and purified from a preparative (2mm) SDS-PAGE. The polyarcrylamide gel containing the fusion proteins glutathione S-transferase(GST-2B6) were used to immunize BALB/C mice from which polyclonal ascites fluid was prepared. The purified fusion proteins GST-1A1(GST fusion protein of CYP1A1 cDNA246~386aa expressed in this library ,purified by preparative SDS-PAGE), GST-2B6 were used to test the specificity of 2B6pAb. RESULTS:Fusion proteins constructed between GST and CYP2B6 was expressed in Escherichia coli DH5?. Mouse antibodies are raised against the fusion proteins GST-2B6. 2B6pAb was fond to be specific antibody.CONCLUSION:Recombinant PGEX/2B6 were constructed and purified fusion proteins GST-2B6, and specific 2B6pAb were obtained.

Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(04):-
To study the influence of 5?-reductase on the pathogenesis of human benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the activity of this enzyme was measured in mechanically separated stroma and epithelium from 7 normal and 16 hyperplastic prostates. Samples were incubated in the presence of tritium labelled testosterone. The yield of DHT was used to estimate the enzyme activity. The results showed that the specific activity of the enzyme (pmol DHT / mg protein/30 rain) was91.4?18,1 and 28.6?7.4 in stroma (S) and epithelium (E) of BPH, 44.7?8.9 and 23.9?6.8 in S and E of normal prostates respectively. It indicated that the enzyme is predominantly localized in the stroma and is elevated ia BPH, the primary abnormality of BPH is in the stroma and the increase of 5?-reductase may have some contribution to the pathogenesis of BPH.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR and CT examinations in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and compare 2008 staging system with 1992 staging system and 2002 UICC staging system for NPC. Methods MR and CT images of seventy-six cases with NPC were studied. According to 2008 staging system and taking MR as a standard, differences between these two examinations were evaluated under the new NPC staging system, and three staging system were compared by MR findings. Results MR was inconsistent with CT in eveluating invasion of medial pterygoid muscle(22,24 cases), lateral pterygoid muscle( 15, 11 cases), skull base(35, 32 cases) and intracranial fossa( 11,6 cases), but no statistical diffence existed ( P > 0. 05 ). There were statistical difference ( P < 0. 05 )between MR and CT in determining invasion of parapharyngeal space( 50, 61 cases), retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis(48, 23 cases), stage T1 (18, 11 cases), T2 (15, 22 cases), N0 (18, 24 cases) and N1(33, 27 cases) with differences of 11 cases, 25 cases, 7 cases, 7 cases, 6 cases and 6cases respectively.For invasion of parapharyngeal space, CT showed 11 cases more than MR while 5 cases were comfirmed as compression by local tumor and 6 cases were proved as retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis according to MR. For retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis, MR presented 25 cases more than CT. These two reasons above mainly caused the differences of T-staging and N-staging. For 2008 staging system, when compared with 1992 staging system, there were 9 cases upstaging and 1 case downstaging in T classification, 16 cases upstaging in N classification, and 15 cases upstaging and 1 case downstaging in clinical classification; and when compared with 2002 UICC staging system, there were 7 cases, 10 cases and 12 cases upstaging in T,N, and clinical staging respectively. Conclusions Compared with MR examination which was regarded as standard by 2008 staging system of NPC, there were some differences in demonstrating invasion of parapharyngeal space and retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis by CT. Compared to 1992 staging system and 2002 UICC staging system, 2008 staging system mainly made T and N classification of tumor upstage,resulting in upstaging in clinical classification.

Objective To investigate the value of DWI before treatment on predicting sensitivity of concurrent chemoradiation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Seventy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma proved by nasopharyngoscope and biopsy pathology conducted DWI before concurrent chemoradiation and reexamined on receiving dose of 50 Gy.The mean, maximum and minimum ADC value of tumor were measured on DWI and maximum area of tumor before and during treatment ( on dose of 50 Gy) was delineated to calculate the tumor regression rate ( RS0-50 ).The patients were classified into three groups according to the RS0-50 as sensitive, moderate, and resistant therapeutic effect.Patients were classified into different groups according to the pathologic type and clinical stage respectively .Spearman correlation analysis was used between RS 0-50 and ADC values of all tumors , different pathologic types and clinical stages , respectively.ROC was used to evaluate the cutoff and value of ADC which had highest correlation to RS0-50 on predicting therapeutic effect.Results DWI of 3 patients were excluded due to obvious swallow artifact which influenced the measurement , and finally 67 patients were included in this study, with pathological type of nonkeratinized differentiated undifferentiated carcinoma in 49 cases, nonkeratinized undifferentiated carcinoma in 18 cases, clinical T1 stage in 7 cases, T2 in 14 cases, T3 in 17 cases and T4 in 29 cases.During treatment , there were 13 cases with sensitive therapeutic effect , 42 cases with moderate therapeutic effect and 12 cases with resistant therapeutic effect.RS0-50 [ ( 65.6 ± 3.1) %] showed mildly and moderately negative correlation to mean ADC [(1.06 ±0.19) ×10 -3 mm2/s] and maximum ADC [(1.29 ±0.33) ×10 -3 mm2/s] respectively ( r =-0.276, P =0.024 and r =-0.434, P=0.001, respectively).ROC showed when setting threshold at maximum ADC value of lower than 1.06 ×10 -3 mm2/s for predicting sensitive therapeutic effect , the specificity , sensitivity , and accuracy was 69.2%(9/13), 88.9%(48/54) and 85.1% (57/67), respectively, and when setting threshold at maximum ADC value of higher than and equal to 1.30 ×10 -3 mm2/s for predicting resistant therapeutic effect, the specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy was 75.0% (9/12), 65.5% (36/55) and 67.2%(45/67), respectively.Conclusion Pretreatment maximum ADC value were able to predict the tumor regression rate and sensitivity of concurrent chemoradiation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma .

Objective To study the development and shape of the occipital protuberance and its clinical significance with normal cranial CT scans.Methods 3000 cases of normal cranial CT images were selected.There were 1500 males and 1500 females,which were divided into nine age groups.The internal occipital protuberances were observed and measured on bone-window.Results The internal occipital protuberance was seen earlist at four-month-old-infant,and growth with age.The shape of the internal occipital protuberance was classified into four types:single-peak-type,plane-protusion-type,tropezoid-type and irregular-type.The single-peak-type was seen most commonly.Big semilunar depression of the internal occipital protuberance could be seen in patient with magna citern arachnoid cyst.Conclusion The height and shape of normal internal occipital protuberance have many diversities.Big semilunar depression of the internal protuberance is a important sign in diagnosis of magna cistern arachnoid cyst.
