Pancreatic cancer is a one of the most malignant digestive cancer.Because the lack of effective methods for early diagnosis,most patients have been ineligible for surgical resection when diagnosed.Kallikrein family is a group of serine proteases,because of its ability to decompose the extracellular matrix proteins,it may be closely related to the invasion and metastasis of various cancers.And some members of kallikrein family may become cancer diagnostic biomarkers.This paper reviews all the recent articles about kallikrein family study in pancreatic cancer.

Purpose　The aim is to develop a synthesis method of the silver carboxymethyl chitosan and to study its bacteriostasis to Staphlococcus aureus(S.aureus),Pseudomonas aeruginusa(P.aeruginusa),Escherichia Coli(E.coli),Klebsiella pneumoniae(K.pneumoniae) and Proteus vulgaris(P.vulgaris).Methods　Chitosan was modified by way of chemistry.The structure analysis of its derivate was analysed by infra-red absorption spectroscopy,using methods of dilution and concavering to study the bacteriostasis to some ordinary bacteria which cause infection in burn.Results　The infra-red spectragram of the derivate showed the chitosan had been modified by chloroacetic acid.When the concentrationl of silver carboxymethyl chitosan was 1.028 mg/ml and the concentration of the five bacteria were 104CFU/ml，the rate of bacteriostasis was 88%、80.2%、75.3% to S.aureus、P.aeruginusa and E.coli respectively.The MIC of silver carboxymethyl chitosan was similar to that of AgNO3 when they act on S.aureus and P.aeruginusa,but the former was lower than later when acting on E.coli.Conclusion　Silver carboxymethyl chitosan could inhibit some bacteria which caused infection in burn.It was a novel pharmaceutical in preventing and curing burn infection.

Aim To explore how MCP-1 induces neu-rodisorder by determing the effects of MCP-1 on excita-tory postsynaptic current(EPSCs) in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal brain slices .Methods EPSCs, the AMPA receptor-mediated EPSC (EPSCAMPAR ), NMDA receptor mediated EPSCs(EPSCNMDAR) and NR2BR re-ceptor-mediated EPSC ( EPSCNR2BR ) were recorded u-sing whole-cell patch recording techniques to observe the effects of 2.3 nmol· L-1 MCP-1 on pyramidal neu-rons in hippocampal CA1 region.Microtubule-associat-ed protein-2 ( MAP-2 ) staining was used to study whether MCP-1 induced dendritic injuries in hippocam-pal CA1 region and whether NMDAR , AMPAR or CCR2 receptor antagonists had protective effects a-gainst dendritic damage caused by MCP-1.Results ① Bath application of MCP-1 produced a significant enhancement of the amplitudes of EPSCs , EPSCAMPAR and EPSCNMDAR .②Further studies revealed that MCP-1 potentiated EPSC NR2BR; ③ The MCP-1-associated dendritic injuries were blocked by NMDAR , AMPAR and CCR2R antagonists respectively .Conclusions Our results suggest a potential role of MCP-1 which may play in neuroexcitotoxicity and neural injury via NMDA receptor(especially NMDAR subtype NR2BR) and CCR2 receptor .The antagonists of these receptors may have potential therapeutic effect for neurodegener-ation.

Objective To observe the effect of superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and endothelin (ET-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) on rat renal tissue under acute hypoxia .Methods 24 male Wistar rats, weight 180~220 g, were randomly divided into control group and acute hypobaric hypoxia group .Acute hypoxia group was divided into 2 groups hypoxia 1 and hypoxia 2, 8 rats for each group.After acute hypobaric hypoxia 10min and 24h, rats were sacrificed.The left removed kidneys were analyzed for biochemical indexes , and the right parts were observed by immunohistochemistry to evaluate the expression level of renal endothelin (ET-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).Results After acute hypobaric hypoxia , the activity of SOD of the rats kidney was greatly decreased (P <0.01), CAT activity of hypoxia group 1 was significantly decreased (P <0.01), GSH activity of hypoxia group 2 was significantly decreased (P <0.05), but the MDA content had no obvious change ( P >0.05).The immunohistochemical staining showed that , the expression level of ET-1 and TNF-αwas increased remarkably, but it was reduced after 24 h.Conclusion The obviously decreased activity of SOD , CAT, GSH and significantly increased expression of ET-1 and TNF-α, may be involved in the pathogenesis of renal hypoxic injury .

Forty girls with Turner's syndrome (TS),aged (12.6 ± 1.9) years,were treated with daily subcutaneous injection of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH,1.0 ～ 1.1 IU · kg-1 · w-1) and oral stanozolol (0.02 ～ 0.04 mg · kg-1 · d-1) for 1 ～ 5 years.Growth velocity (GV),height standard deviation score (SDS) by reference of healthy Chinese girls (HtSDSNor) and height SDS by reference of untreated Chinese TS girls (HtSDSTs)were evaluated regularly.Of the forty girls studied,thirteen had discontinued the treatment after a mean duration of (2.9 ± 1.2)years when GV was less than 2 cm/year or when patients were satisfied with the achieved height.Final adult height (FAH) or near-final height,which was defined as the most recent available height after discontinuation of treatment,and the height gained in the thirteen girls were evaluated.Estrogen therapy was started at the age of(16.0 ± 1.1) years.HtSDSNor increased from-4.2 ± 1.0 to-3.4 ± 1.0 in the first year,and-2.8 ± 1.0,-2.4 ± 0.8,-2.5 ± 0.5,-2.3 ±0.3 respectively in the 2nd,3rd,4th,and 5th year.The change in HtSDSTs was similar to HtSDSNor.It was increased from 0.1 ± 0.9 to 1.0 ± 0.9 in the first year,and to 1.5 ± 0.8,1.9 ± 0.6,1.7 ± 0.4,1.7 ± 0.2 in the subsequent 4 years.The predicted adult height (PAH) in 13 girls was (142.8 ± 4.2) cm before treatment.FAH was (151.7 ± 4.1) cm,which was significantly higher than PAH (P＜0.01),and the mean height gain was (8.9 ± 2.8) cm (5.1 ～ 12 cm).FAHSDSNor was increased to-1.6 ± 0.8 from-3.8 ± 0.8.For girls with TS around 9 years of age,combined therapy with rhGH and low dosage of stanazolol may significantly increase growth velocity and improve final adult height.

Rhynchosia volubilis Lour has been a major drug in a folk prescription for contraception in China, whereas its mechanism remains unknown. Its antifertility effects on male mice and antimicrobial activities on sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens were previously reported. This study was undertaken to develop the n-Butanol extract of Rhynchosia volubilis Lour (BERVL) as a spermicidal agent with STI prevention. The spermicidal activities of BERVL with different doses were assessed using selected high-motile sperms of normal human semen samples, and their inhibitory effects on Lactobacillus acidophilus were determined. The mechanism of the spermicidal activity was explored by aqueous Eosin Y and Hoechst 33342/PI staining. The results showed spermicidal activities and inhibitory effects of BERVL on Lactobacillus acidophilus were dose-dependent. Dose of 90 mg/mL BERVL terminated all progressive sperm motility within 2 min, and had slight inhibitory effect on Lactobacillus acidophilus, suggesting it was an effective and safe dose for contraception use. About 80% sperms exposed to BERVL displayed changes consistent with high permeability of head membrane. It is concluded that BERVL as spermicide has advantages over N-9 with strong ability to instantaneously kill human sperm and possesses light inhibitory effect on Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of "One-stop" hybrid procedure that performs minimally in-vasive direct coronary artery bypass ( MII)CAB ) and percutaneous coronary intervention ( PC! ) concurrently on 35 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Between June 2007 and May 2008, 35 patients [33 men and 2women, mean age (63.5±9.2) years] with multivessel CAD ( two-vessel CAD, n = 19; three-vessel CAD, n = 16, left main coronary artery disease, n = 7 ; coronary artery lesions, 2.5 lesions per patient) underwent "one-stop" hybrid procedure. The hybrid strategy was performed as a primary MIDCAB procedure for bypassing the left internal mammary artery ( LIMA ) to the left anterior descending artery ( LAD ), simultaneously followed by PCI ( pereutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and/or stenting) on the remaining non-LAD vessels. Concomitant diseases included hypertention in 20 patients, hy-perlipemia in 12 patients, previous myocardial infarction (MI) in 10 patients, diabetes mellitus (type 2) in 9 patients, previ-ous cerebrovascular disease in 2 patients, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 1 patient, renal dysfunction in 1 patient, and ostium secundum atrial septal defect in 1 patient. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) averaged 0. 62±0.07. Results There were no reexploration for bleeding, strokes, myocardial infarctions, acute renal dysfunctions, or deaths in hospetal. Of the total 35 patients, 34 patients (97.1%) were successfully treated with "one-stop" hybrid procedure, and 1 patient (2.9%) was converted to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG ) because of dissection of one obtuse marginal branch during PCI. One of the LIMA-LAD grafts was confirmed to be anastomotic stenosis by followed coronary angiog-raphy and was corrected immediately. The patient with ostium secundum defer underwent tranesophageal echocardiography guiding transcatheter closure after LIMA-LAD anastomosis. Catheter-based interventions were carried out in 61 coronary le-sions, including PTCA in 6 lesions and implantation of 62 drug-elating stents (DES) in the rest appropriate lesions. The mean number of DES implantation was 1.8 per patient, and the average diameter and length of implanted DES were respectively ( 3.2±0.5 )mm and 37.3 mm per patient. Of the 34 patients receiving hybrid procedure, the average mechanical ventrilation time was ( 10.8±7.9) hours, and 4 ( 11. 8% ) pateints were extubated in the operating room; length of stay in the intencive care unit averaged (33.6±33.0) hours and hospital stay (9±3) days; 24 patients (70.6%) avoided transfusion require-ment. Conclusion Our findings indicate that in high-risk patients with multivessel CAD, the "one-stop" hybrid procedure by performing MIDCAB and PCI simultaneously is a feasible and safe alternative.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the methods and experiences in surgical treatment of hemifacial microsomia.

METHODSFifty-eight cases of hemifacial microsomia that have been treated by plastic and reconstructive surgery and followed-up in our department during last 20 years have been reviewed. Every patient's characteristic was assessed by physical examination, photography, craniofacial cephalometry before planned the method of surgery. Different surgical treatments were chosen according to the side and the structures involved in the abnormalities and the severity of hemifacial microsomia, and the cases were followed up since 3 months after the treatments. The follow-up lean of midline of the lower 1/3 face with that before treatment is compared. The degrees of patients' and surgeons' satisfactions with the treatments were evaluated respectively.

RESULTSThe average angle of lean of midline of skeletal and soft tissue of the lower 1/3 face decreased 4.2 degrees and 2.9 degrees respectively after treatment. Fifty (82.6%) cases satisfied with the outcome of the surgical treatment and surgeons satisfied with 84.5% of the outcome of all the cases.

CONCLUSIONSIndividual surgical treatment based on the side and the structures involved in the abnormalities can effectively correct facial asymmetry of hemifacial microsomia.
