Objective:To study the expression of P selectin in the colonic mucosa and on surfaces of platelets in circulation, and determine its association with IL 8 and TNF ? in trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis in rat, in order to investigate the effects of P selectin on inflammation and thrombosis in inflammatory bowel disease Methods:TNBS was instilled into the colon of the rats to induce colitis Animals were sacrificed at the 24th hour, the 1st and the 2nd week after production Blood and colonic tissues were obtained P selectin on the platelets were detected by radioimmunoassay IL 8 in serum was detected by ELISA method Expression of P selectin and TNF ? in colonic mucosa were assessed with immunohistochemistry Results:P selectin in mucosa was increased in different time points compared with control group The positive expression was above 50% P selectin on the platelets wasn't increased at the 24th hour, but increased at the 1st and 2nd week (P

The corneal transparency is one of the important basic conditions for realizing normal physiological functions of visual organs. Also corneal endothelial cells are important conditions for maintaining normal corneal transparency. Therefore, only to ensure the morphology and physiological integrity of the corneal endothelial, can have normal vision. However, intraocular surgeries inevitably cause damage to corneal endothelial cells. This paper will review the effects of glaucoma surgery on corneal endothelial cells.

Objective To summarize the experience on diagnosis and treatment of splenic neoplasm. Methods Clinical data of 40 patients with primary splenic space occupying lesion treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Thirty four out of the 40 cases were diagnosed as primary splenic neoplasm preoperatively. The detectable rate of B-US was 94%, and that of CT was 96%. The discrimination rate of benignancy and malignancy by CT was 84%. Serum AKP and ?-GT were significanfiy increased in most of the malignancies. Seventeen among 22 cases with benignancy were treated by splenectomy, and the others underwent partial splenectomy or tumor resection. Sixteen of 18 patients with malignancy underwent splenectomy, and two did biopsy. Pathology revealed cysts in 13, angiocavernoma in 4, inflammatory pseudotumor in 3, caverous lymphangioma in 1, and cystic degeneration of liomyoma in 1; malignant lymphoma and lymphsarcoma in 9, hemangiosarcoma in 3, and fibrosarcoma, liomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma in 1 each. Three cases with malignancy have survived more than 5 years. Conclusions Splenic neoplasm is diagnosed mainly according to clinical manifestation and image examination. The discrimination of benignancy and malignancy depends on CT, angiography, and serous AKP and ?-GT level. Radical operation and complex treatment could improve the prognosis of splenic malignant tumor.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard of Chushi pill. METHODS:Microscopic identification and TLC were adopted for the qualitative identification of Cortex moutan,C. dictamni,Angelica sinensis,Rubia cordifolia and Gardeniae fructus in Chushi pill;HPLC was performed to determine the contents of paeonol and baicalin. It was performed on column of Kro-masil 100-5 C18 with mobile phase of methanol-water-phosphoric acid(47∶53∶0.2,V/V/V)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detec-tion wavelength was 280 nm,the temperature was 25 ℃ and the volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The microscopic identification showed microscopic characteristics of C. moutan and C. dictamni,and characteristics of A. sinensis,R. cordifolia and G. fructus were identified by TLC;the linear range of paeonol was 0.106 24-2.124 8 μg(r=0.999 9)and baicalin was 0.059 04-1.180 8 μg (r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 2.06%;average recoveries were respective-ly 101.56%(RSD=1.68%,n=9)and 100.16%(RSD=1.13%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and re-producible,and can be used for the quantity control of Chushi pill.

ObjectiveThis study evaluates the feasibility of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat patients with 1 -5 brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods 30 IMRT patients with brain metastases for NSCLC studied retrospectively.Whole brain radiotherapy plus three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (WBRT + 3DCRT) and WBRT plus stereotactic radiotherapy ( WBRT + SRT) plans were generated.Planning target volume ( PTV ) and organs at risk dose were measured and compared by dose volume histogram.Differences were analyzed in the three techniques by Wilcoxon Z -test.Results D99％ of the shoulder ( D99％-D90％ ) from IMRT were higher than from WBRT +3DCRT and WBRT+SRT in all cases.From D15％ of slope (D90％-D10％) to D5％ of tail (D10％ -D1％ ),IMRT were lower than WBRT + 3DCRT and WBRT + SRT ( Z =- 4.72,P =0.000 and Z =- 4.72,P =0.000).D10％ and D5％ of IMRT were (35.1 ±1.42) Gy and (37.7 ±2.91) Gy,WBRT +3DCRT were (36.5±2.86) Gy and ( 39.1 ± 3.56) Gy ;WBRT + SRT were (36.2 ± 2.57) Gy and ( 38.7 ± 3.67) Gy.IMRT vs WBRT+ 3DCRT and WBRT + SRT were significant ( Z=-3.18,-3.18,P=0.001,0.001 and Z=- 4.11,- 3.02,P =0.000,0.002) in 13 patients with 3 - 5 brain metastases.The total mean monitor units were 14756.3,9614.8 and 9043.2 for IMRT,WBRT +3DCRT and WBRT + SRT plans,respectively,with a 38.7％ reduction from IMRT to WBRT + SRT (Z =-4.78,-4.78,P =0.000,0.000).The brain doses around metastases were similar in the three techniques with 1 -2 metastases,but IMRT was the best with 3 -5 metastases.ConclusionsIMRT can advance brain metastases dose and improve the planning target minimum dose and spare the dose around brain metastases.Only IMRT is the best choice for just sparing the dose around brain metastases among 3 -5 brain metastases.

The potential of Rhizobium sp. N613 to produce the exopolysaccharide (REPS) was studied in this paper. Using an orthogonal design in a flask-shaker culture system, the fermentation medium and conditions of synthesizing REPS were optimized. Based on these results, the fermentation kinetic parameters were obtained in the batch fermentation with a 10L fermentor. The REPS yield of 11.31g/L was achieved by metabolic regulation during 40 h fed-batch fermentation. Transplanted tumor models of sarcoma 180 in mice were used to evaluate the anti-tumor effect. The result of anti-tumor activities showed that inhibition rate was 53.40%, when dose of REPS was 5mg/kg. These results indicate that REPS has the following properties: the short duration of fermentation, the high yield, the low cost, the effective immunocompetence and thickening. Thus, REPS has the value of development and application.
