Objective To study the safety and efficacy of intraoperative implanting slow-released 5-Fu after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods 59 HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy from January 2008 to January 2009 were divided into two groups:to receive slowrelaesed 5-Fu in treatment group and nothing in control group.Postoperatively no patients in both group took chemotherapy.The serous value of WBC,ALT,AST,TBIL and AFP were measured in all cases on 1 day before and 3 weeks after the operation.During the first six months,AFP was measured and imaging studies were done one month after discharge,and every 3 months since then.CT-guided biopsy was used to confirm the recurrence of HCC. Disease-free survival rate and overall survival rate in two groups calculated respectively 6-,12-,18- and 24-months after the operation. Results The serous value of WBC,ALT,AST,TBIL was not different between treatment group and control group 3 weeks after the operation (separately t =0.801,- 0.854,- 1.948,- 0.503,all P ＞ 0.05).AFP was (361.58 ± 431.06) μg/L,( 17.02 ± 15.55 ) μg/L,(43.61 ± 58.03 ) μg/L in treatment group and (495.50 ± 441.63 ) μg/L,(26.82 ±60.46) μg/L,(127.48 ±229.79) μg/L in control group preoperatively,3 weeks and 6 months after the operation.AFP was lower in treatment group than that in control group ( t =- 2.065,P ＜ 0.05 ).The disease-free survival rate in treatment group was 95.8％,91.7％,79.2％,75.0％ at 6-,12-,18- and 24-months after the operation,in control group it was 94.3％,71.4％,60.0％,48.6％ ( x2 =4.035,P ＜0.05).The overall survival rate was respectively 100％,95.8％,91.7％,83.3％ in treatment group and was 100％,94.3％,77.1％,60.0％ in control group( x2 =3.931,P ＜0.05).Conclusions Intraoperativeimplanting slow-released 5-Fu during the hepatectomy was safe and effective method to reduce the recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma and prolongs postoperative disease free and overall survival in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Objective To study the concurrence of congenital ptosis and hypospadias and the relationship between the two. Methods The incidence rate and degree of ptosis were recorded for 254 cases of hypospadias. Results The morbidity of ptosis in hypospadias cases was 4.72％.The posterior hypospadias group had a higher ptosis rate than the anterior and middle hypospadias groups,P ＜ 0.05. While there was no statistical difference of severe ptosis morbidity rates between these two groups. Conclusions Congenital ptosis is a common concurrent anomaly of hypospadias outside the urogenital system.The severity of hypospadias is relevant with the morbidity of ptosis but not with the degree of ptosis.Hypospadias and ptosis may share common pathogenic or susceptive factors.

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of Gefitinib,a selective oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor,on the growth of human colon cancer cells,and investigate the relationship between the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to Gefitinib and PIEN expressions.Methods The inhibitory effects of Gefitinib on 6 kinds of colon cancer cells(Lovo,HCT116,HT29,Lsl74T,SW480 and SW620),the levels of PTEN mRNA in different colon cancer cells.and PTEN protein expressions in colon cancer cells were detected by MTT assay,RT-PCR and Westem blot,respectively.Results The inhibitory effects of Gefitinib on the 6 colon cancer cells in vitro varied a lot.When the concentration of Gefitinib was 1 μmol/L,LoVO cells had the most sensitivity to Gefitinib with an IC50＜10μmol/L;HT29 and SW480 had moderate sensitivity,and the IC50 ranged from 10 μnol/L to 100 μmol/L;HCT116,LS174T and SW620 were insensitive to Gefitinib,and their IC50＞100 μmol/L.All the colon cancer cell lines exhibited PTEN mRNA and protein expressions.Conclusions PTEN mRNA andprotein expressions might not be associated with the inhibitory effects of Gefitinib on the growth of colon cancer cells.The expression of PTEN can not be taken as the indication of the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to Gefitinib.

BACKGROUND: Chinese medicine Gukang prescription has a clear effect on clinical treatment of osteoporosis, but the therapeutic pathway is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Chinese medicine Gukang on the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin by regulating core binding factor alpha 1 expression to control the growth and development of osteoblasts.
METHODS:Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats within 24 hours after delivery were used for the separation and culture of osteoblasts. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were used to prepare drug-containing serum, and then divided into two groups randomly:normal control group and Gukang group. Rats in the normal control and Gukang groups were intragastrical y administrated with extract of Gukang prescription and normal saline based on rat’s body surface area, for 1 consecutive week. Two hours after the last administration, blood samples were taken from the heart. Then the serum was col ected. Osteoblasts at passage 3 were confirmed with alkaline phosphatase assay and digested. After counting and planting, al osteoblasts were divided into two groups and treated with col ected
serum for 72 hours. Proliferative rate of osteoblasts was detected by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide test. Secretion of alkaline phosphatase was detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and corrected with the corresponding absorbance value. mRNA expression of core binding factor alpha 1, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin were detected by using reverse
transcription-PCR in al groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin and core binding factor alpha 1 in the Gukang group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group, but protein and mRNA expression of receptor
activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand were dramatical y lower in the Gukang group compared with the normal control group (P<0.01). These findings indicate that Chinese medicine Gukang prescription can modulate the expression of
core binding factor alpha 1, thereby adjusting the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand and osteoprotegerin, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying Gukang treatment for osteoporosis.

AIM: To investigate the effects of ?-elemene,extracted from curcuma wenyujin,on proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma RPMI-8226 cells. METHODS: The effect of ?-elemene on the growth of human multiple myeloma RPMI-8226 cells was studied through MTT assay,cell cycle and apoptosis was studied by combined Annexin-V protein iodide staining,The morphological changes was studied by combining Hoechst33342-PI staining. RESULTS: ?-elemene inhibited the proliferation of RPMI-8226 cells in a time-and dose- dependent manner. Compared with the control cells,the proportions of the RPMI-8226 cells in the G0 /G1 phase rose,and the proportions of the RPMI-8226 cells in the S and G2 /M phases fell decreased. RPMI-8226 cells treated with ?-elemene for 48 h induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: ?-elemene is able to inhibit the proliferation of RPMI-8226 cells by arresting the cell cycle and inducing the cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the image quality of gastric cancer improved by dual-energy CT,and to evaluate the clinical utility in staging gastric cancers.Methods 55 patients suspected gastric cancers were included in the study.Patients underwent dual-phasic scans using dual-energy CT with a dual-source scanner.The relationships image quality parameters in 100 kV,120 kV and 70 keV images were evaluated.Image quality parameters comprised mean density,signal-to noise ratio (SNR) and objective noise.The 120 kV and 70 keV images were compared in TNM staging.Results In arterial and portal phase,the attenuation was significantly higher at 70 keV and 100 kV compared to 120 kV images (P＜0.001).In arterial phase,the SNR were higher at 120 kV and 70 keV in comparison to 100 kV(P＜0.01).In portal phase,the SNR were higher at 70 keV in comparison to 120 kV and 100 kV(P＜0.01).Overall accuracy in assessment of tumor invasion of the gastric wall (T stage) was 83.7％ with 70 keV images and 72.1％ with 120 kV images,this difference was not significant (P=0.25);Overall accuracy for lymph node (N) staging was significantly better with 70 keV images(74.4％) than with 120 kV images(62.8％) (P＜0.05).Conclusion The image quality of gastric cancers using dual-energy CT can be improved by optimizing the energy level.The 70 keV images may be used to improve the N-staging accuracy.

Objective To study the relationship between the CT features and pathological grade of malignancy of the gastric stro-mal tumors (GST).Methods A retrospective review was performed based on the database of 80 consecutive patients with GST.Age and gender of the patients were recorded,and the CT findings of GST including growth pattern,morphology,tumor site,boundary, mucosa,serosa,ulcer,volume and maximum diameter of the tumor were also measured.The patients were divided into three groups:very low and low risk group,intermediate risk one and high risk one according to the pathology.All parameters were ana-lyzed by one-way ANOVA or Fisher’s exact test.Results The patients in 3 groups (from low risk to high one)were 30,30 and 20 respectively.There were no significant differences in age,gender,location and mucosa among 3 groups(P>0.05).However,the growth pattern,morphology,boundary,serosa,ulcer,volume and maximum diameter of the tumor were significantly different (P<0.05).Conclusion The CT features including growth pattern,morphology,boundary,serosa,ulcer,volume and maximum diameter of the tumor can be used to evaluate the grades of malignancy in GST.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic lung disease.Methods Patients who were diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease and hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2004 to August 2012.Data of etiology,clinical manifestation,imaging and pathological features,diagnosis and treatment were recorded.Results A total of 25 patients were diagnosed with eosinophilic lung disease including 9 chronic eosinophilic pneumonia,6 churg-strauss syndrome,and 10 cases of parasitic infection of which two patients were the simple pulmonary eosinophilia (L(o)ffler syndrome).Eosinophil counts in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were increased.Arterial gas analysis showed varying degree of hypoxemia,which pulmonary function tests showed restrictive,obstructive,mixed ventilatory dysfunction.Chest CT showed bilateral flaky,streak or flake diffuse ground-glass infiltrates and reticular opacities.Results of pulmonary biopsy or skin biopsy identified diffuse eosinophil infiltration.Corticoidsteroid therapy alone or combined with immunosuppressive agents were both effective.Conclusion (1) Liver fluke and other food-borne parasites are the most common causes in eosinophilic lung disease; followed by unexplained chronic acidophilic granulocyte pneumonia; (2) In addition to histopathological evidence,the diagnosis of eosinophilic lung disease was made comprehensively based on clinical features,laboratory test,the BALF analysis,and imaging data.
