Objective To study the stress resistance of Rhodiola under freezing injury stress. Methods With R.kirilowii, R.crenulata, R.Algida and R.fastigiata as the experimental materials, the effects of freezing injury stress on emerging time, duration of seedling emergence, emergence rate, surviving rate, the activity of SOD and POD were observed by field test and experimental detection. Results Before seeding, the effect of freezing injury stress on R.kirilowii was the largest, and that on R.fastigiata was the least. When injury stress happened during seedling stage, surviving rate, increase of SOD and POD activities of R.kirilowii was the least, indicating the freezing injury was severe. R.fastigiata was the best in those indexes. The stress resistance of Rhodiola was as follows:R.fastigiata > R.crenulata > R.Algida > R.kirilowii. Conclusion R. fastigiata and R.crenulata are good choice in introduction and cultivation of Rhodiola in Gannan area of Gansu province, and R.fastigiata is the best.

Objective To understand the current situation of smoking and quitting smoking in patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods 184 cases of inpatients or outpatients with cardiovascular disease treated in the First People's Hospital of Kunming were surveyed about quitting smoking, and the smoking and smoking cessation-related clinical features of patients with cardiovascular disease were analyzed. Results ( 1) Cardiovascular diseases in smokers was male-dominated (100%), mainly hypertension and/or coronary heart disease (179, 97.3%) . (2) Average age of starting smoking was 21.5, 97.8%of patients had smoked more than 10 years, with an average of 35.1 ±13.4 years, 69.6% of patients smoked ≥10 cigarettes/day, with an average of 16.3 ± 10.1 cigarettes/day, 65.8%of patients were in the low level of nicotine dependence, 81.5%of the patients thought that quitting smoking was important, 76.1% had quitting smoking ideas, 67.4% had confidence in the success of quitting smoking, 50.5%thought that it was difficult to quit smoking, 127 (69%) patients had seriously quit smoking. (3) 65 cases (51.2%) who seriously quit smoking had succeeded, 54 patients (83.1%) received varying degrees of medical staff advised to quit smoking, 62 cases (48.8%) in relapse, only 34 patients (54.8%) accepted medical personnel advised to quit. Two sets of chi-square test, p=0.000, prompted difference was statistically significant. Relapse reasons were pressure, craving and around other smokers. Conclusions Smoking patients with cardiovascular disease are mainly constituted by male patients with hypertension and/or coronary heart disease. Most of the patients recognize that quitting smoking is important, and have idea and seriously quit smoking. However, lack of confidence and smoking which has also become a lifestyle significantly affect the success of smoking cessation. The medical staffs' recommending smoking cessation persuasion can largely improve the success of smoking cessation for patients.

Pancreatic cancer is a kind of high degree of malignant gastrointestinal tumor,and its incidence has increased significantly in recent years.Due to the low early diagnosis rate,and the extreme low middile or late resection rate of pancreatic cancer,Pancreatic cancer's prognosis is poor.Therefore,improving the early diagnostic rate of pancreatic cancer has very important significance for improving the prognosis.Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is dependent on tumor markers detection to a great extent.And proteomics progress rapidly in recent years and has been widely applied in clinical research.It provides an effective way to find markers.Among all of the spec imens,secrum is easy to obtain,and it allows repetitive detection.What is more,secmm is also renewable.So it is the most ideal for biological specimens.In this review,the proteomics technology role in pancreatic cancer patients serum detection were summarized.

Objective To investigate the effect of adenoviral-mediated interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene transfection on systemic inflammatory responses in a rat model of ventilator-induced lung injury. Methods Thirty adult male SD rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6 each): group Ⅰ control (group C); group Ⅱ adenovirus without IL-IO gene + 2 h mechanical ventilation (MV) (group B, ); group II1 adenoviruswithout IL-IO gene + 4 h MV (group B_2); group Ⅳ adenovirus with IL-10 gene + 2 h MV (group A_1) and group Ⅴ adenovirus with IL-10 gene + 4 h MV (group A_2). In group Ⅱ-Ⅴ the animals were mechanically ventilated (airway pressure = 25 cm H_2 O) and adenovirus was injected into right ventricle at 48 h before MV. Blood samples were taken from abdominal aorta at the end of 2 h or 4 h MV for determination of serum IL-8 and IL-10 concentrations. The animals were then killed. The pulmonary specimens were obtained for examination of ultrastructure with light and electron microscope. Results Mechanical ventilation significantly increased serum IL-8 and IL-IO concentrations in a duration-dependent manner in group Ⅱ-Ⅴ as compared with group C. Trans-pulmonary administration of adenoviraI-mediated interleukin-10 gene significantly decreased serum IL-8 concentration and increased serum IL-10 concentration and reduced ventilator-induced lung injury alter MV in group A_1 and A_2 as compared with group B_1 and B_2. Conclusion Adenoviml-madiated IL-10 gene transfection can attenuate the systemic inflammatory response and reduce ventilator-induced lung injury.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of ADC value in grading of neuroepithelial tumors. Methods The clinical data and images of 70 patients with neuroepithelial tumors pathologically proven were collected and analyzed restrospectively. All the patients were classified into low(WHOⅠ or Ⅱ)and high(WHO Ⅲ or Ⅳ)grade groups which included 40 and 30 cases respectively accroding to the 2007 WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system. All the patients underwent plain and contrast-enhanced MR scan and DWI before surgery. The minimum ADC(MinADC)value was measured postoperatively on ADC maps. The Ki-67 labeling index(Ki-67 LI)of tumor tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry.MinADC values for two groups were analyzed using student t test, while the age and Ki-67 LI for the two groups was analyzed using Mann-Whitney test(P＜0.05 considered to be significant＝.Also the MinADC valHe and Ki-67 LI were analyzed with Pearson correlation. The receiver operating characteristic analysis was used for evaluation for grading neuroepithelial tumors of the patients using MinADC. Results The mean MinADC value[(1.08±0.31)×10~(-3) mm~2/s]of the low grade group was significantly higher than that[(0.74±0.18)×10~(-3) mm~2/s]of the high grade group(t=5.42,P＜0.05＝,and the Ki-67 LI of the low grade group[0-50%,median 4%]was significantly lower than that[0-75%,median 25%]of the high grade group(U=325.50,P＜0.05＝.There was a negative correlation between MinADC value and Ki-67 LI(r=-0.30,P＜0.05＝.The area under the ROC curve was 0.85,and the cutoff MinADC value of 0.86×10~(-3) mm~2/s for the differentiation between high and low grade neuroepithelial tumors provided the best combination of sensitivity(90.0%)and specificity(77.5%)(receiver operatingcharacteristic analysis).Conclusion MinADC value is helpful for prediction of neuroepithelial tumor grade.
