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 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: 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 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

[Objective]To study the pathogenesis of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis(LDS)through the degeneration degree of lumbar facet joints and the changes of the joint sagittal angle of little zygapophysial joints and the endplate hypozygal angle in patients with LDS and lumbar disc herniation (LDH).[Methods]The image data of 79 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases were collected from October 2009 to November 2011.There were 42 patients with L4-5 LDS(experimental group)and 37 patients in same age with L4-5 LDH(control group).The L4-5 facet joints were graded by Weishaupt ect.lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis imaging grading method.The joint sagittal angle of L4-5 little zygapophysial joints and the L4endplate hypozygal angle were detected by CT.The L4-5 facet joint osteoarthritis grading,joint sagittal angle of lumbar little zygapophysial joints,L4 endplate hypozygal angle and bilateral symmetry between two groups were compared.[Results]There was no grade 0 of facet joint osteoarthritis in both two groups.The numbers of grade 1,2,3 in experimental group were 4,20,18 cases,respectively,while the numbers in control group were 21,14,2 cases.There was significant difference between the numbers of two groups(P ＜ 0.05).The joint sagittal angle of L4-5 little zygapophysial joint,deviation angle of sagittal angle asymmetry and L endphtehypozygal angle in experimental group(26.62°± 1.67°,8.79°± 4.28°,116.92±6.86°)had statistical significance compared with those in control group(45.07° ± 7.32°,5.14° ± 4.28°,104.95° ± 4.97°)(P ＜0.01).The deviation angle of endplate hypozygal angle asymmetry in experimental group had no statistical significance compared with that in control group(P ＞ 0.05).[Conclusions] The sagittal orientation of lumbar facet joint angle and the endplate hypozygal angle increasing have important significance in LDS.

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.
