AFP from fetal serum and serum of patients with primary hepatic cancer were purified by affinity chromatography. Then, the lentil lectin-reactive and nonreactive variants of these purified glycoproteins were prepared by affinity chromatography with immobilized lectin. Glycopeptides and oligosaccharides were prepared from variants by protease treatment and hydrazinolysis, respectively, and subjected to carbohydrate and amino acid analysis. A small difference in the carbohydrate compositions of each variant was observed. Analysis of chemical compositions of AFP variants is useful for the differential diagnosis between benign liver diseases and primary hepatic cancer.

CXCR4, a receptor for stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1, also know as CXCL12) and a member of the chemokine receptor family, has been shown to play an important role in the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells. CXCR4 expression is an early event in breast cancer development and may serve as a biomarker for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Expression of CXCR4 has been demonstrated to correlate with metastasis and poor prognosis in breast cancer. Inhibition of CXCR4 expression may be a potential target of breast cancer treatment.

Background and purpose:Irinotecan plus fuorouracil/Leucovorin has become the standard regimen as the first-line in treating advanced colorectal cancer.We investigated the clinical response and side-effects of the first-line treatment with Irinotecan plus fuorouracil/ leucovorin(FOLFIRI) for advanced colorectal cancer.Methods:From may 2001 to march 2005,37 patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treat with irinotecan 180mg/m~(2) i.v.on day 2,and fuorouracil 400 mg/m~(2),bolus on day 1,2 and 1200 mg/m~(2),civ.44hour;leucovorin 200 mg/m~(2) i.v.on day 1,2,two weeks per cycle.Results:The response rate was 41.7%.Incidence of III/IV Grade myelosuppression was 35.1%/8.1%,and 4 patients suffered from febrile neutropenia.Incidence of III Grade delayed diarrhea was 8.1%.Conclusions:The first-line chemotherapy with a combination of irinotecan and fuorouracil/ leucovorin is effictive and well tolerated by patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore conduct disorder tendency and it's influence factors on secondary school students. Methods 669 students of grade 1 in Dezhou Vocational and Technical College were investigated by Conduct Disorder Tendency Questionnaire, Revised Version of MBI-SS and SRHMS Version1.0. Results The secondary vocational school students' scores on violation tendency, addiction tendency and aggression tendency were 11.51±4.08,5.90±2.68 and 6.68±2.63,and were significant different from vocational college students or high school students(addiction tendency:F(2, 1578)=7.48,P =0.001;aggression tendency:F(2, 1579)=24.40,P <0.001). There existed great capable difference of conduct disorder according to genders ( t(643)>3.85,P <0.001).Conduct disorder tendency of secondary vocational students' was positive correlated with their learning burnout (Pearson correlation coefficient was between 0.16 and 0.52 for each pair), but negative correlated with mental health(Pearson correlation coefficient was between -0.13 and -0.27 for each pair). The linear regression showed that some dimensions of learning burnout and self-rated mental health predicted students' conduct disorder tendency. Conclusion Conduct disorder tendency of secondary vocational students is affected by their learning burnout and mental health.

The right chest electric admittance plethsmography (RCEAP) is a simple no invasive and reliable method in detecting the blood flow volume in the pulmomary artery and vein, an indirection of the left heart function. In this clinical study, the RCEAP, left heart catheterization for measurement of LVEDP and coronary angiogram and echocardiography for investigating the LVEF were performed on 34 patients with coronary heart disease. Of these 34 patients,24 had single or no left vessel lesion (Group A), 10 had left main coronary artery or its double branches lesions (Group B) ;8 underwent percutaneous trans-lumin coronary angioplasty (PTCA)and 10 had coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).The data obtained were analysed and compared to evaluate their respective diagnostic values. Correlation analysis demonstrated the values of hc/hz ratio, ha/hz ratio were moderated with LVEDP(r = 0. 68 or 0. 73,P

Objective To explore the clinical significance of expression of MKK4 in osteosarcoma,and to discuss the relationship between MKK4 and osteosarcoma occurrence,development and prognosis.Methods The expression of MKK4 protein was determined with immunohistochemical SP method in 30 cases of osteosarcoma.Results The MKK4 was obviously expressed in both nucleus and cytoplasm in osteosarcoma.The expression of MKK4 in the cytoplasm of osteosarcoma was positively correlated with clinical stage (r =0.72,P =0.000),the expression of MKK4 in the nucleus of osteosarcoma had no correlation with clinical stage (r =0.44,P =0.080).MKK4 expression in the cytoplasm was higher in transfer osteosarcoma than no transfer osteosarcoma(x2 =9.69,P ＜0.01),while no obvious difference in the nucleus of osteosarcoma(x2 =1.00,P =1.000).Conclusion The MKK4 is highly expressed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of osteosarcoma,suggests that MKK4 may be related with the carcinogenesis development of osteosarcoma.The expression of MKK4 in the cytoplasm of osteosarcoma is related to the malignant,metastasis and prognosis of osteosarcoma,may be used as a potential prognostic indicator of judgment osteosarcoma.

Objective To investigate the effects of valsartan on insulin resistance of type 2 diabetes in patients with Ⅰ hypertension.Methods Newly diagnosed 152 patients of type 2 diabetes with Ⅰ hypertension were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group and control group undergone lifestyle changes( diet and adequate exercise) for two weeks.After that,the control group were given Diltiazem,while the treatment group were given valsartan,an angiotensin receptor blocker(ARB) drugs.Both groups were treated for 8 weeks.Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting plasma insulin (FINS) before and after treatment in both groups were determined.Homeostasis model assessment evaluation of insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index (IAI) were carried out and compared between the two groups.Results After 8 weeks of treatment,HOMA-IR in the treatment group was significantly decreased compared with the control group ( P ＜ 0.01 ),while IAI was significantly increased( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Application of valsartan in type 2 diabetes mellitus with Ⅰ hypertension can significantly improve the level of insulin resistance.

Objective To determine the contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose and total saccharide in honeysuckle extracts which were produced by three classical methods, to provide scientific data for producing and controlling of those patent medicines containing honeysuckle extract. Methods Three classical extract methods were used for producing honeysuckle extracts. HPLC-ELSD method was used for determining the contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and a spectrophotometric determination method was used for determining the contents of total saccharide. Results The contents of fructose in three honeysuckle extracts were 5.44%, 3.47%, 4.74%, glucose were 4.35%, 2.73%, 4.21%, glucose were 17.41%, 8.47%, 14.47%, and total saccharide were 50.63%, 41.12%, 35.90%, respectively. Conclusion About 36%～51% of total components of honeysuckle extracts were determined except chlorogenic acids, and 19%～27% of components in the extracts were fructose, glucose, sucrose.

Percutaneous sacroplasty is a technique, derived from percutaneous vertebroplasty, with minimal invasion and better safety for refractory sacroiliac pain. The procedure is involved with bone cement injected into the diseased sacral body under fluoroscopic or computed tomography guidance and in turn for stabilizing and strengthening the vertebral body with outcome of decrease or even complete relief of pain. The author introduces and comprehends the definition, preoperative imaging examinations, indications, contraindications, techniques and complications of the procedure.
