The third generation of aromatase inhibitors (AI) play an important role in the adjuvant treatment of hormonal positive postmenopausal breast cancer. Compared with tamoxifen, either upfront or sequential using of Al can both significantly improve the outcome of breast cancer patients. However, there is a continuous debate of sequence or upfront usage of Al in clinical applications. With the publication result of BIG 1-98 clinical trial and interpretation of the data, we can further recognize and optimize the usage of Al in breast cancer treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of isoflurane preconditioning on Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expression and the signaling pathway of nitric oxide against brain ischemia-reperfusion(I/R).Methods Seventy-five male gerbils were randomly divided into 5 groups(n=15):SHAM,I/R,ISO,AG+ISO and AG group.Global cerebral I/R was produced by occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries for 5 minutes and confirmed by isoelectric potential on EEG.In ISO group,the animals inhaled 1.2%-1.5% isoflurane for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes wash-out period before I/R.In AG+ISO group,30 minutes after aminoguanidine,200 mg/kg i.p.isoflurane was inhaled as ISO group,and aminoguanidine was injected 30 min before I/R in AG group.After 24 hours,the forebrains were collected,and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA was determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.Results Bcl-2 mRNA expression in ISO group(1.22±0.12) was significantly higher than that in sham(0.83±0.16),I/R(0.83±0.11) and AG+ISO group(0.82±0.12)(P<0.05).Bax mRNA expression in I/R and AG group was significantly higher than that in sham group(P<0.05),and the expression in ISO group was higher than that in AG+ISO group.Conclusion Nitric oxide is involved in the signaling pathway of isoflurane preconditioning and has the protection effect on gerbil brain against I/R.

Objective To investigate the effect of extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)pathway OH nitriC oxide(NO)release by human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC)induced by placental growth factor-1(PLGF-1).Methods During January to April 2006,50 samples of umbilical vein blood were collected from newborns delivered by cesarean section due to intrauterine distress and abnormal fetal position.HUVEC were primarily cultured by trypsin digestion.Then the following procedures were performed:(1)Cells were identified using the morphology andⅧfactor immunohistochemistry methods if the culture WaS satisfactory.(2)Cells were collected,and fms.1ike tyrosin kinase(Fit-1)protein and its mRNA expression were detected with immunoprints and RT-PCR methods.(3)The protein wag extractedafter cells were treated with PLGF-1(cells were collected before the treatment and 2.5,5.10,20 min after the treatment).The protein levels of ERK were determined by immunoprints.(4)The cells were cultured witll serum-free culture medim containing PLGF-1 only(culture media were collected 20,40,160,360.480.720 and 1440 rain after the treatment).The quantity of NO was detected with nitrate reductase metllod(5)The ceHs were cultured with serum.free culture medium containing PI)98059,the inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)/MEK for 60 min Then the cells were cultured continuously with the serum-free culture medium containing PLGF-1 for 60 mira The culture media were coilected.The quantity of NO was detected by nitrate reductase method.The samples were divided into treatment group and control group.Control group was exactly the satne in treatment time,culture condition,and time to colleet the cells as the treatment group.except that it WaS not treated with PLGF-l or PD 98059.Resuits (1)By morphology and Ⅷ factor inununohistochemistry the cultured cells were identified to be HUVEC.(2)Fit-1mRNA and protein were expressed in HUVEC.(3)Expression of ERK protein started to increaSe at 2.5 min after treatment of HUVEC with PLGF-1,reaching the peak at 5 min,and decreased at 10 min.(4)Incomparison with the control group.NO started to increase at 20 rain after treatment of HUVEC with PLGF-lat 480 min(15.82±0.69)μmol/L Comparison between the two groups showed a significant difference (P<0.05).(5)ReleaSe of NO from the cells treated with PD98059 for 1 hour and PLGF WaS significantly inhibited,compared with the ceils treated with PLGF-1 only.Conclusion ERK pathways play an important role in N0 release bv HUVEC induced by PLGF.

Objective　The conditional hierarchical clustering for 1-dimensional(1-d) ordinal data was discussed.Methods　Because the individuals are ordered in 1-d,the conditional matrix was constructed with all elements in the second-diagonal are 1 and the others are 0.Distance matrix of individuals defined by some particular definition.Then the conditional-distance matrix was made for the hierarchical clustering by connecting the conditional matrix and distance matrix.This method was called 1-dimentsional conditional hierarchical clustering.An example was illustrated by this method and a Monte Carol study showed that method was feasible and robust.Results　Compared with the least-squares partition,this method is easy to understand,easy to practice and easy to compute.It also can give us a stable result.Conclusion　Because of the austere theory,the simple thought and the convenient application,it's a good method for the 1-d ordinal data.

Objective To introduce direct digital dual energy subtraction radiography and explore it's clinical application.Methods The cases acquired separately by direct digital conventional radiography and direct digital dual energy subtraction radiography were compared.Results The detection rate,sensitivity and accuracy of calcifications in lungs,pulmonary nodules,stones in urinary system,calcifications of coronary artery and cardiovalvular were improved by using direct digital dual energy subtraction radiography.Conclusion Direct digital dual energy subtraction radiography is more valuable in clinical applications.

Objective:To compare the regulatory effect of EF and two Kidney-tonifying recipes as well as Spleen-invigorating recipe on expression of T lymphocytes apoptosis related genes in Corticosterone-treated rats.Methods:To quantify and compare the T lymphocytes apoptosis percentage and the expression the pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic genes related to T cell apoptosis in every experimental groups using TUNEL method and flow cytometry assay, as well as the fluorescence real time PCR technology.Results:The percentage of T cell apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis related genes were significantly regulated by EF and two Kidney-tonifying recipes, while the Spleen-invigorating recipe had no significant effect with respect to these parameters.Conclusion:EF can be used to represent the effect of Kidney-tonifying recipes in antagonizing the inhibiting effect of exo-corticosterone with respect to T lymphocytes.

The viscosity of mucopolysaccharides in Holothuria scabra Jaeger was related to temperature, time, concentration of mucopolysaccharides and H 2O 2 during the decoloration, which was found through the experiment, in that the rise of temperature, elongation of time, decrease of concentration of Mucopolysaccharides and increase of that of H 2O 2 all lead to the decrease of the viscosity. Within a certain limit, the activity of mucopolysaccharides rises with the viscosity decrease in the experiment of acute cerebral ischemia in mice. So that it is important controlling the craft in the mucopolysaccharides production.

Suerm monoamine oxidasa isoenzymes (MAOi) were determined in 105 cases of liver disea ses and 49 normal controls.MAOi were separated into 3 bands (I. Ⅱ.Ⅲ) by polyacrylamide gel elcctrophoresis. The results revealed that MAOi Ⅲ% was increased in chronic liver diseases, especially in liver cirrhosis. Our findings suggest that serum MAOi determination is more sensitive than serum albumin, MAO, ChE, and ADA determinationsin in the early diagnosis of liver cirrhosis
