Brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) play a key role in tumorigenesis and tumor development.There are a group of special markers in the surface of brain tumor stem cells,which can sorts stem cells,precursor cells and cancer stem cells.In recent years,the studies of CD133,Nestin,high-mobility group A1,A2B5 have made some breakthroughs.

Complications that follow ischemic stroke are common,frequency ranging from 28% to 95%.It may either directly lead to death or prevent optimal recovery.54% of deaths after ischemic stroke are attributed to medical complications.Most complications occur during the first week,and stroke severity is the most important risk factor.The common serious medical complications are chest or urinary tract infection,deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,cardiac events,gastrointestinal bleeding,hyperglycemia,pressure sores.Falls,shoulder pain and depression are also common complications.Most of medical complications are preventable or treatable to some extent if recognized,so preventive strategies and appropriate treatment should be employed as early as possible.Prevention,early recognition,and management complications could improve short-term and long-term prognoses after ischemic stroke.

The principle and structure of the near-IR laser spectrum noninvasive blood glucose detection system are introduced in the paper. To meet the detection demand of the little DC current signal in the system,the current measure methods are analyzed. The hardware and software structure are discussed in the end.

Objective:In 2003,a survey of the manpower of pediatric dentists was made in China in order to provide basis for database. Methods:Questionnaires were distributed to dentists presenced the 5th conference of pediatric dentistry in China,and 139 available answers were analysis. Results:In those 139 pediatric dentists, with a mean age of 38.2?8.7,females were significantly more than males, and 89.9% dentists had bachelor, master or doctor degree. Significant relations were found between self-estimate ability of dentists and their length of work, degree, character of clinic.Conclusion:To date, the team of pediatric dentists begins to take shape, the structure of age and education are rational, but the number of them is insufficient and it is necessary to improve the basic and continuing education.

Objective To determine whether re-expansion of the collapsed lung with room air can attenuate oxidative stress injury following one-lung ventilation during esophageal cancer resection. Methods Twenty-four ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 40-60 yr weighing 44-65 kg undergoing esophageal cancer resection were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=12 each) : room air group and pure oxygen group. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl, etomidate and atracurium and maintained with propofol and atracurium infusion and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl. Right or left side double-lumen catheter (Fr 35, 37, 39) was inserted in each patient. Correct placement was verified by fiber-optic bronchoscopy. The patients were mechanically ventilated ( V_T 7-10 ml/kg, RR 12-16 bpm, FiO_2 1.0 during one-lung ventilation). P_(ET)CO_2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. SpO_2 was maintained at 95%-100% during one-lung ventilation. Blood samples were collected at the beginning of one-lung ventilation (T_1 ), immediately before re-expansion of the collapsed lung (T_2) and 30 rain after re-expansion of the collapsed lung (T_3) for determination of serum levels of MDA, SOD and plasma level of protein carbonyl. Arterial blood samples were obtained at 2 h after operation for blood gas analysis. Results The plasma protein carbonyl level and serum MDA level were significantly increased while the serum SOD level was significantly decreased at T_3 as compared with thost at T_1 and T_2 in pure oxygen group. No significant change in serum levels of MDA, SOD and plasma level of protein carbonyl occurred during operation in room air group. The oxygenation index was significantly higher at 2 h after operation in room air group than in pure oxygen group. Conclusion Re-expansion of the collapsed lung with room air can attenuate the oxidative stress injury following one-lung ventilation during esophageal cancer resection.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yiqi Huoxue prescriptions on prevention of neointima hyperplasia after carotid artery vascular injury in rats.Methods Ninty male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:the model group,the aspirin group,the low-dose Yiqi Huoxue group,the mid-dose Yiqi Huoxue group and the high-dose Yiqi Huoxue group.All of the rats were fed with hypercholesterolemic diet for 30 days,then the 2.0F balloon catheter injury was perfomed through the right femoral artery into the left common carotid artery of rats,the balloon was inflated and deflated 3 times.The rats was given drugs from 1 d before injury and to 5 d,14 d,28 d after injury.Around 6 rats from each group were euthanized by exsanguination at appropriate time point.The injuried left common carotid arteries were carefully removed and harvested for HE staining.Results The neointima hyperplasia was faint at 5 d after the operation.Morphological analysis demonstrated that there were markedly differences in the area of neointima hyperplasia at 14 d or 28 d,the average thickness of neointima hyperplasia,the surplus area of lumen/the total area of lumen between the high-dose Yiqi Huoxue group and the model group(P
