Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of RFA combined with chemotherapy drug on hepatic VX: carcinoma in rabbits and to explore its mechanism.Methods: 40 rabbit models with VX: carcinoma were used for this study.they were divided into four groups at random.We watched the changes in serolog ALT,diameter of tumor and pathomorphology.And we also utilized terminal deoxynucleotidyl ransferase-mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling and immunohistochemistry to observe the apoptosis and proliferation.Results: ⑴The blood ALT significantly increased at the first day after treatment,then descended at the third day,and at the seventh day it descended to the level of pretreatment stage in group RFA combined with epirubicin.(2) The diameter of tumor showed significant difference between combined treatment and other groups.(3) Two weeks after treatment,the complete necrotic area slightly extended.it was clearly seen that the zone consisted of normal liver constitution,inflammation hyperemia zone and amorphous necrotic constitution by HE staining in combined treatment group.(4) The apoptosis index of the combined treatment group was bigger than that in other groups by TUNEL technology,but the PCNA index in the combined treatment group was lower than other groups.They all had significant difference.There was negative correlation between apoptosis index and PCNA index in the combined treatment group(r=-0.745,P

A portable instrument for arteriosclerosis assessment containing sensor module, acquisition board and embedded module was developed for home care in this paper. The sensor module consists of one ECG module and three pulse wave extraction modules, synchronously acquiring human ECG and pulse wave signal of carotid, radial, and dorsal, respectively. The acquisition board converts the sensor module's analog output signals into digital signals and transmits them to the embedded module. The embedded module realizes the functions including signal display, storage and the calculation and output of pulse wave velocity. The structure of the proposed portable instrument is simple, easy to use, and easy to expand. Small size, low cost, and low power consumption are also the advantages of this device. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed portable instrument for arteriosclerosis assessment has high accuracy, good repeatability and can assess the degree of atherosclerosis appropriately.

Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease. Its main manifestation is bilateral internal carotid artery progressive stenosis w ith abnormal vascular netw ork formation of the compensatory hyperplasia in brain base. The pathological mechanism of moyamoya disease is not clear. Grow ing evidence has suggested that immune inflammation may play an important role in its occurrence and development process. Abnormal expression of various inflammatory cytokines and immune proteins can be observed in patients w ith moyamoya disease. This article review s the possible mechanism of immune inflammation in moyamoya disease in recent years.

The "all-free health care" system is being implemented in Shenmu County in Shaanxi Province,whose ethical orientation is during the transitional process from "basic medical insurance" to "meeting residents′ actual healthcare demand".The "all-free health care" system safeguards human health rights,embodies the principle of giving priority to social benefits,and is in accordance with the principle of effectiveness.However,due to the lack of scientific management,the capital flows violate the principle of prevention in the system.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and the significance of anti-NMDAR antibody assay in clinical diagnosis.Methods Sixty-two patients were divided into 3 groups of encephalitis,encephalopathy and other central nervous system diseases based on their affliction. Anti-NMDAR antibody was detected by transfected cell-based indirect immunofluorescence assay in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid. The clinical features,laboratory tests,treatment and prognosis of NMDAR encephalitis were analyzed.ResultsAnti-NMDAR antibody was positive in serum and (or) cerebrospinal fluid of 9 patients (9/32,28％ ) from encephalitis group.The positive rate of anti-NMDAR antibody in cerebrospinal fluid was higher than that in serum of these patients.Among them,5 patients with higher antibody titer had impaired blood-brain barrier.No tumor was detected in these 9 patients.The most predominant symptoms of anti-NMDAR encephalitis include fever,psychiatric disturbances,seizures,dystonia and autonomic dysfunction.Brain MRI and electroencephalography were also abnormal. Patients were responsive to early immunotherapy. Conclusion Detection of the anti-NMDAR antibody may be important for early diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune encephalitis.

Chemotherapeutic drugs conventionally used for their cytotoxic activity can also exert their influence on the immune system by grooming the tumor microenvironment,abrogating immune tolerance and inciting immune reconstitution.Due to their immunomodulatory features,chemotherapeutics,used as a preconditioning regimen and combined with subsequent immunotherapy,can mobilize the immune system to generate antitumor immune response.The synergy between chemotherapy and immunotherapy has brought some enlightenment to the development of new protocols for cancer treatment.

Objective To investigate the antioxidation of bioactive proteins from the meat of Meretrix meretrix.Methods Three protein peaks(P1,P2 and P3) were isolated from the meat of Meretrix meretrix by homogenating,step precipitating with ammonium sulfate,chromatography with Sephadex G-150.CAT activity and SOD activity of these proteins were determined.Inhibition of the proteins to lipid peroxidation was determined.Results CAT activity of P2 was the highest,its specific activity was 77.0 U?mg-1.SOD activity of P3 was the highest,its specific activity was 68.8 U?mg-1.Inhibition of P3to lipid peroxidation was the most obvious,its inhibitive rate was 50% when the protein content was 20 ?g.SDS-PAGE results showed that the main composition of P1 was the protein,the Mr of which was 18.0 kD.The protein band of P2 corresponded with the protein band of contrast CAT,its Mr was 28.0 kD.The protein band of P3 corresponded with the protein band of contrast SOD,its relative Mr was 16.0 kD.Conclusion The bioactive proteins were isolated from the meat of Meretrix meretrix,and the bioactive proteins had antioxidation.
