Bcl-2 family plays an important role in cell apoptosis pathway. The ratio of pro-apoptosis members and anti-apoptosis members closely correlates with tumorigenesis, tumor radiosensitivity and progno-sis. Recent years ,according to the correlation of Bcl-2 family and tumor radiosensitivity, many researchers want to find new therapeutic strategies that target Bcl-2 in clinical radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the practicality and stability of self -made bedside angle instrument in clinic .Methods 81 cases of mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=42) and the control group(n=39) .The bed head in the control group was elevated according to the experience and sensation .However the bed head in the experimental group was elevated by the self-made bedside angle instrument .The bed head elevation angle in the two groups was measured at the differ-ent timepoints .Results The accuracy of bed head elevation was 100% in the experimental group and 57 .69% in the control group , the difference between the two groups had statistical significance (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The bedside angle instrument has good practicality and stability ,effectively ensures the accuracy of the bed head elevation and contributes to conduct the body posture nursing on the patients with mechanical ventilation .

The sectional morphology of the human brachial artery, ulnar artery, radial artery, palmar digital artery of the thumb and the middle finger were observed under microscopy. Excepting the brachial artery, the intima of the other 4 arteries are thick, especially the ulnar artery. The histological variations must be noticed during the artery is anastomosed. The percentage of the adventitia of the whole wall thickness decreases and the elastic fibers become looser gradually in accordance with the size of the arteries. The relative contents of elastin, collagen and smooth muscle of the above 5 arteries were measured by microspectrophotometer. The content of elastin of these arteries decreases(P

In recent years,nuclear medical imaging has become a routine examining technology.In general,angiographic medicine has to be injected into human body.Considering the short-coming of the manual injection,it seriously needs a injecting pump with the functions such as auto-control,push-pull injecting,synchronous injection of two injectors.

[Objective]To evaluate the operability and clinical efficacy of injectable calcium sulfate for grafting bone defects.[Method]From June 2004 to August 2005,22 cases with benign bone lesions were treated with curettage and grafting with injectable calcium sulfate bone graft substitute(minimally invasive injectable graft X3,MIIG X3).There were 13 male cases and 9 femal cases.Their average age was 34.6(ranged,4~55).All the 22 cases were followed-up from 23 months to 37 months,average 31.6 months.All cases took radiographic examination regularly after the operation to assess the absorption rate of MIIGX3 and the formation rate of new bone.[Result]This injectable calcium sulfate with vacuum mixing was easy to use,providing complete fill and bony strength instantly when grafting bone defects.According to the raeiographs,MIIGX3 was absorbed almost at the same rate as new bone ingrowth in 8 to 24 weeks.[Conclusion]MIIGX3 is convenient to graft bone defects with fewer complications,capable of absorbing almost at the same rate as replacement of new bone.It's one of the best bone graft substitutes for grafting bone defects induced by benign bone lesions.

The cell suspensions prepared from surgically resected hepatoma specimens were used to immunize BALB/c mice and, with the hybridoma technique, a battery of high affinity monoclonal anti-hepatoma antibodies were obtained which were designated HAbl8, Fll, E5 and A10 separately. Immunohistochimical staining showed that the above 4 antibodies possessed good selective reactivity with hepatoma tissue. After radioiodination of Fll, E5, A10, HAbl8 IgG and It's F(ab')_(2) fragments, the labelled reagents were employed for radioimmunoimaging in hepatoma-bearing nude mice and the in vivo detection appeared promising, with tumor/non-tumor ratios being 6.88, 5.14, 5.67, 5.15 and 14.47 respectively. The in vivo localization ablities of the antibodies seemed better compared to other similar findings published elswhere (Dunk AA, 1987). Also, ~(131) I -HAbl8 I gG and its radiolabelled fragments were utilized for radioimmunotherapy in hepatoma-bearing nude mice, with complete response rate and partial response rate being 42%(5/12) and 50% (6/12)respectively. When the HAbl8 conjugate with radioiodine was introduced for the in vivo imaging in hepatoma patients, a positivity rate of 86.5% (45/52)was witnessed, with the smallest tumor foci detected being only 0.5cm in diameter. In the in vivo targeting therapy with the immunoconjugate, a partial response rate of 69.6% (16/23) was obtained. In summary, the antibodies reported here have lended a novel regime for the present comprehensive therapy protocol of hepatoma.

Objectives: Use antisense VEGF to reduce the immunosuppression induced by tumor and enhance the antithumor effect of IL-2. Methods: After the MMT45.Li murine liver cancer cells were modified with antisense VEGF alone, or antisense VEGF combined with IL-2 gene, the tumorigenesis of modified MM45T.Li was studied. The apoptosis of cancer cell induced by antisense VEGF and IL-2 gene in vivo was also studied. The tumors were cryosmeared 3 weeks after the mice bearing tumor were treated correspondingly with Ad-antiVEGF or Ad-Il-2 or Ad-antiVEGF/IL-2 or Ad-lacZ, the immunohistochemical analysis of CD4 + , CD8 + was performed.Results: The tumorigenesis of MM45T. Li was reduced by antisense VEGF, and the number of CD4 + , CD8 + cell was increased in tumor tissue, and the immunosupression was also reduced; At the same time antisense VEGF also enhanced the antithumor effect of IL-2 gene.Conclusions: Antisense VEGF not only can inhibit the neovascularization, but also can reduce the immunosupression induced by tumor, and improve lymphocyte infiltration toward tumor site;when it was combined with Il-2,anti VEGF can enhance the antitumor effect greatly.

Objective To investigate retina structure and function under the condition of acute continuous hypoxia at high altitude and study on the protective effects of taurine on retina injury. Methods Low-pressure chamber was used to simulate 4 500 m and 5 500 m altitude.A total of 126 SD rats were used in this study,half assigned to the conditions under plain,4 500 m and 5 500 m,the other half before the same assignment fed with 2.4% taurine in plain for a week.At 2,6,12,24,48,72 h after entering the chamber,the eyes of SD rats were taken out,fixed and sectioned.Retina layer structure and ultrastructure of retina M?ller cells were observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope.The activity of succinate dehydrogenase(SDH) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) were detected with enzymohistochemistry.Results INL,IPL and GCL were injured in low oxygen.In the early period,migrating IPL cells increased(P

Objective: To observe the effects of taurine (Tau) on photoreceptor apoptosis and investigate the mechanism. Method: Seventy rats were randomly divided into control group (Cont) and 4% taurine supplementation group (Tau). The subjects were exposed to the cool white light (3000?200 lx)for 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 or 24 h . The apoptotic index (AI) of photoreceptor was evaluated by TUNEL method. Meanwhile, levels of p65 in nuclear and caspase-1 were determined by Western-blot analysis and I?Ba mRNA was detected by RT-PCR . Results: After 9 h exposure, scattered TUNEL positive photoreceptors were found in Tau group, and each AI was lower than the corresponding control (P
