Objective:To investigate the expressions of S100A4 and MMP- 2 and their correla-tions to invasiveness and metastasis in gastric cancer. Methods:The expressions of S100A4 and MMP- 2 were detected by SP immunohistochemical method in 49 cases of gastric cancer tissue and 20 cases of normal tissue. Results:The positive rate of S100A4 and MMP- 2 (59.18% 、67.35%) was significantly higher in gastric cancer tissue than in normal gastric tissue (0.00% 、20.00% ,P

We applied bilingual teaching in internal medicine for students in our school from 2003 in order to cultivate medical students of high quality and to improve their ability in using professional foreign language.We analyzed our experiences from the aspects of teaching object,selection of teachers and teaching methods and summarized some problems during the process.We got the conclusions that only through strengthening bilingual teaching materials compiling,training young teachers and adopting diversified bilingual teaching means,can we achieve better bilingual teaching effect.

Objective To investigate current status and problems of coagulation factor Ⅷ and Ⅸ assay in domestic laboratories so as to provide the reference for implementing the standardization and quality improvement.Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out in 76 laboratories,and quality control materials were distributed to 54 laboratories for activity assay.The questionnaire information was analyzed statistically.Test results of quality control materials were classified into three groups according to the reagents and the ranked grading analysis were used to evaluate the performance.Results This research was investigative study.The amount of sample was less than 30 per month in 72% (52/72)of laboratories.The frequencies of calibration were different,and 33% (24/72) of laboratories did not perform calibration in a different assay batch.39% (28/72)of laboratories did not run internal quality control,and about 21% (15/ 72) of laboratories just performed the normal level quality control.Individual laboratories showed a high cumulative CV (> 30%) of intemal quality control.For normal FⅧ and FⅨ control materials,the CV of results were 11.3%-18.2% and 11.3%-17.9% respectively as well as 15.3%-20.3% and 19.5%-21% for abnormal.Of the three groups,the proportions of laboratories which the FⅧ test results out with consensus were18%,24% and 22% as well as 20%,24% and 28% for FⅨ.Conclusions The key requirements for quality control of coagulation factors active assay remain to be addressed and implemented.The repeatability and comparability in some laboratories are not satisfactory to meet the clinical needs.With the purpose of promoting quality improvement,we need to develop guidelines,organize related training and establish a national external quality assessment scheme.

Objective To observe the efficacy of cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells combined with radiofrequency ablmion (RFA) in treatment of liver metastases.Methods 23 patients were treated with CIK plus RFA, while 27 patients with RFA.Tumot markers and CD3+、CD4+、CD8+、CD4+/CD8+ were tested before and after treatment.Recurrence rate and Kamofsky score were also evaluated.Results The local recurrence rate in the study group was lower (13.04% vs.40.74%)(P<0.05),CD3+、CD4+、and CD4+/CD8+ were increased (P<0.01). The percentage of patients with decreased tumor markers and increased Kamofsky is higher (P<0.05);Conclusion The therapy of CIK combined with RFA has better efficacy on liver metastases,can enhance the cellular immune functions and improve the quality of life significantly.

Objectiye To study the mechanism by which transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) affects cognitive dysfunction in vascular dementia (VD). Methods Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a VD group, a low frequency rTMS group and a high frequency rTMS group. Two-vessel occlusion was employed to induce VD models. Low frequency rTMS group rats were given 0.5 Hz rTMS for six weeks. High frequency rTMS group rats were given 5 Hz rTMS for six weeks. Morris' water maze test was used to measure their spatial learning ability and memory. The ultrastructures of the synapses in the four groups were detected with transmission electron microscopy. The expression of synaptophysin (SYN), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Nmethyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 ( NMDAR1 ) mRNA and protein in the hippocampus were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results The behavior and morphology of the rats treated with rTMS improved. The average expression of SYN, BDNF and NMDAR1 mRNA and protein in the low frequency rTMS group and the high frequency rTMS group were significantly higher than in the VD group. Conclusion rTMS can provide a rehabilitative effect for VD. The mechanism might be associated with enhancing the expression of SYN, BDNF and NMDAR1 in the hippocampus.
