The TNM staging is the most common tumor staging system of lung cancer.The new revisioned 7th lung cancer TNM staging is published by the international association for the study of lung cancer (IASLC) in the 13th world conference on lung cancer.Accurate clinical staging depends on the multi-analysis from medical histroy,clinical examination,imaging examination and invasive test,which has important significance for guiding the treatment of lung cancer.The 7th lung cancer TNM classification has been revised respectively from the primary focus,lymph node metastasis and remote viscera metastasis,so as to make it more accurately corresponding to the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To use montmorillonite as the carrier of matrine. METHODS: Urea was used to insert into the montmorillonite interlayer by solid-phase grinding method. After this process, the matrine was loaded by the solution blending to obtain montmorillonite/matrine nanocomposite. RESULTS: XRD and FT-IR showed that the urea was intercalated into the montmorillonite layers, and the interlayer spacing of montmorillonite was enlarged from ca. 1.2 to 1.7 nm. With the help of the urea, the matrine was successfully loaded into the montmorillonite layers, at the same time the interlayer distance of the montmorillonite was further increased to 1.86 nm. In vitro release experiments displayed that the release of montmorillonite/matrine composite accorded with the Higuchi e-quation, indicating that the montmorillonite could sustain the release of matrine. MTT measurement showed that the montmorillonite/matrine nanocomposite has significant cytotoxicity on human gastric cancer cells (SGC7901). CONCLUSION: This research suggests the feasibility of montmorillonite as the sustained release carrier for the matrine and other alkaloids drug, and provides the evidence for montmorillonite in the pharmaceutical field as drug carriers.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of herbal decoction Sishen Jian on acute osteoarthritis of knee joint.Methods The 60 osteoarthritis cases in the attack stage were randomized into treatment group(30 cases)and control group(30 cases).The treatment group was given the decoction Sishen Jian and Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Capsules and the control group was given the capsules only.Two weeks made one course of treatment.Before and after treatment,the symptoms such as pain and morning stiff- ness,the signs including joint swelling and tenderness,and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C reactive protein were ob- served for comparison.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group was 96.66% and 53.26% respec- tively.The difference of two groups was significant(P

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the effect of androgen deficiency on serum hormone levels, visceral fat accumulation and inflammatory gene expression in miniature pigs fed a high-fat diet ( HFD) . Methods Sexually mature male Chinese Wuzhishan miniature pigs were divided into three groups ( animals/group) as follows:intact male pigs ( SHAM) , castrated male pigs ( CAS) and castrated male pigs plus testosterone treatment ( CAS+T) . The pigs were fed a HFD diet for 12 weeks. Serum levels of testosterone and leptin were measured and visceral fat were dissected and weighted. qRT?PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression levels of lipogenic, lipolysis and inflammation relat?ed genes. Results (1) Serum testosterone levels were significantly decreased but serum leptin levels were significantly in?creased in the castrated pigs. These effects were recovered after testosterone treatment. ( 2 ) Visceral fat percentage was significantly increased in the castrated pigs, and testosterone treatment reduced the increased visceral fat in the castrated pigs. (3) Castration and testosterone treatment had no significant effects on the expression levels of lipogenic genes (FAS and ACC) and lipolysis genes (HSL and ATGL) in pigs fed a HFD. (5) Castration significantly induced the expressions of inflammatory genes including Leptin, CD68, CCL16, CCL23 and SAA, and testosterone treatment recovered the expres?sions of the above genes in the castrated pigs. Conclusions Castration?induced testosterone deficiency promotes visceral fat accumulation and upregulates the expression levels of inflammatory genes in miniature pigs fed a HFD. Moreover, tes?tosterone treatment ameliorates castration?induced visceral fat accumulation and inflammatory response in HFD?fed pigs.

Objective To understand the microorganisms pollution and the community structure and distribution characteristics of airborne microbes in forest scenic spot in Huangshan,China.Methods The airborne microbes were sampled by fallen plate method from 2002 to 2003 in Huangshan scenic area and Hefei city.Results The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the elevation and airborne microbe,the relative coefficient was -0.580(P

Type 1 diabetes mellitus ( T1DM),arising through a complex interaction of immune,genetic and environmental factors,results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β cells.In up to one third of patients the autoimmune attack is not limited to β cells,but expands into autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes(APS).APS are characterized by functional insufficiency of multiple endocrine organs due to an immunologically mediated destructive process.APS can commonly be divided into three types,including APS type Ⅰ,APS type Ⅱ and immune dysregulation,polyendocrinopathy,enteropathy,X-Linked syndrome (IPEX).Here,we discuss the susceptible factors,clinical manifestation,screening and treatment of APS,with the perspective of the clues they can offer to the pathogenesis and treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

As a treasure of the traditional culture of China, TCM can be developed in long-term, that need the inheritance and innovation of scholars. During the process, it is an important responsibility and obligation that the development of TCM hospital. The development and improve of the hospital scientific research are important aspects for the development of hospital. The construction of scientific research team is an important approach to promote the hospital scientific research strength. By analyzing the whole current situation of hospital scientific research team, we will discuss the measures to strengthen the construction of hospital scientific research team from several aspects. These aspects include the system of scientific research team, talented person echelon structure, management system and the team overall strength, etc. These measures are aimed to strengthen the team construction characteristics of TCM, promote the scientific research level of TCM, contribute to the development of the career and hospital.

As we known,serum creatinine(Scr),serum urea nitrogen(SUN) and creatinine clearance rate(Ccr),the most established marker of renal function,are affected by age,gender,muscle mass or nutritional status.Scr determines the glomerular filtration rate(GFR) improperly.Serum Cystatin C(sCys C) is freely filtered at the glomerulus and then resorbed and fully catabolised by proximal renal tubules,ma-king it an ideal marker of GFR.It is not affected by gender,muscle mass or malignancy,its production rate is usually constant and its plasma concentration therefore is dependent only on GFR.sCys C has been demonstrated to be more accurate and sensitive than Scr in the detection of early renal impairment and in specific populations may allow for early detection of renal disease.The aim is to discuss the advantages and limitations of sCys C and of established GFR methods.

ObjectiveTo investigate advantage and disadvantage of different rehabilitation therapies used for cerebral palsy (CP) children complicated with epilepsy (EP).Methods140 CP children complicated with EP screened from 1402 CP cases, were analyzed for CP and EP types, MRI or CT, brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP). All cases were treated with anti-epilepsy drugs (AEDs). Different rehabilitation therapies, including electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection, manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, and cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection were assessed.ResultsIn all 140 cases, a majority of EP types were myoclonic seizure and west syndrome, CP type was spasticity. Abnormality showed in MRI or CT (98%) and BAEP (90%). AEDs were effective for all 140 cases. Electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, and cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection could make EP severely, but manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection had no adverse effects on EP cases.ConclusionThe principles of rehabilitation treatment for the CP children complicated with EP are taking AEDs early and in a long term, avoiding electrotherapeutic modalities, acupuncture, point injection, and cerebroprotein hydrolysate injection, using manual therapy, functional training, Chinese herb braising therapy, and cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin injection.
