Objective To investigate the influence of pre-chemotherapy hemoglobin and platelet levels on the effect of chemotherapy and prognostic outcome in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).Methods 104 patients with EC who underwent surgical treatment following neoadjuvant chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed.Multiple logistic regression was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the probability of achieving an optimal clinical response and the variables.The log-rank test was used to compare the homogeneity of progression-free survival and overall survival functions across strata defined by categories of prognostic variables.Results The Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the significance of potential prognostic factors for progression-free survival and overall survival.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that FIGO staging (OR =3.234,95 ％ CI:1.324-13.454) and lymph node metastasis (OR =8.235,95 ％ CI:1.563-18.574) were independent factors of influencing effects of new adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of EC patients.Multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that the FIGO staging(HR =4.342,95％ CI:1.643-15.856) and lymph node metastasis (HR =3.853,95％ CI:1.864-9.675) were independent factors of influencing 5 years survival rate of EC patients received new adjuvant chemotherapy.Conclusion The curative effect and prognosis after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy operation in treatment of EC patients before chemotherapy,there was no significant correlation between hemoglobin and platelet levels,and lymph node metastasis,FIGO stage.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of restructuring human brain natriuretic peptide in treatment of heart failure associated with severe acute myocarditis.Methods Fifty cases of heart failure associated with severe acute myocarditis were divided into experimental group and control group according random number table method,each group 25 cases.The patients in control group were given conventional treatment,and the patients in experimental group were given restructuring human brain natriuretic peptide on the basis of conventional treatment.The clinical effects of two groups were observed.Results The level of N terminal brain natriuretic peptide,left ventricular ejection fraction,urine volume,creatinine in two groups had no significant difference before treatment (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,these index in experimental group were better than those in control group [(7 785 ± 432) ng/L vs.(10 022 ± 447) ng/L,(45.28 ± 2.67)％ vs.(41.34 ±3.11)％,(1 833 ±49) ml/24 h vs.(1 456 ±47) ml/24 h,(109.34 ± 10.77) μmol/L vs.(125.44 ± 11.00) μ mol/L] (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of clinical symptoms improving in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group [71.4％ (55/77) vs.26.0％ (20/77)] (P ＜0.01).Conclusion Restructuring human brain natriuretic peptide with conventional treatment can effectively improve heart failure associated with severe clinical symptoms of acute myocarditis,improve the clinical therapeutic effect.

Objective To study the relationship of tumor necrosis factor beta (TNF-?) polymorphism with human IgA nephropathy of Chinese Han nationality in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Methods The A→G single base mutation polymorphism in TNF-?1096 locus were analyzed among 80 normal controls and 79 IgA nephropathy patients by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results The genotype frequencies of TNF?* 1/1 and TNF?* 2/2 in IgA nephropathy patients were significantly higher than that in normal controls (x1/12=5.58,P

Objective: To investigate the antitumor activities and apoptosis mechanisms of 3,7-dinitrodibenzobromonium salt (cBr) on human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line in vitro. Methods: The antitumor activities of cbr were tested by Trypanblau exclusion test, MTF coloretric assay and clonal forming test, and the mechanisms were studied by morphological analysis (microscopy, fluoreseencemicroscopy, electron microscopy) and flow cytometry analysis. Resuits: cBr could inhibit of the proliferation K562 cells and kill them significantly. The effects varied with different time and doses, and IC50 of cell colony forming rate was 0. 497 mmoL/L. Apoptosis rate tested by flow cytometry was 70.34%,and apoptotic characteristics could be found by microscopy and electron microscopy. Conclusion: cBr could inhibit K562 cell proliferation greatly, and could induce K562 cells into apoptosis.

Objective To observe the effects of thymosin alpha-1 on T cell subsets and gastricintestinal reac-tion of patients with gastricintestinal tumor. Methods Twenty patients with gastricintestinal tumor were divided into two groups, observe group(n = 10) received thymosin alpha-1 during chemotherapy, and control group(n = 10) only received chemotherapy, T cell subsets and gastricintestinal reaction were observed. Results Before chemotherapy, CD+4,CD+8 and CD+4/CD+8 of observe group were(43.7±7.5),(27.3±2.8) and (1.5±0.1), and control group were (39.4±6.3), (30.9±2.5) and (1.2±0.6). There was significant difference between them (P < 0.05). After chemotherapy, CD+4, CD+8 and NK cell were (40.6±6.8)、( 29.7±2.6) and (19.1±2.7), control group (35.9±5.7), (33.4±2.4) and (18.6±2.3). There was significant difference between them (P < 0.05). Effec-tive ratio of nausea and vomit of observe group were 72.5% and 60.0%, control group 40.0% and 33.3%, There were significant differences between them(P <0.05). Conclusion Thymosin alpha-1 may ameliorate the function of T cell subsets and gastricintestinal reaction of patients with gastricintestinal tumor.

Objective To apply data mining to risk prediction of sudden deafness, and form the association rules.Methods The clinical data of 517 patients with sudden deafness was collected, including the characteristics of 19 attributes: sex, age, season, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, long-term smoking, alcoholism, mental tension, insomnia, weakness, bedridden, infection, congenital malformation, trauma, tumour and autoimmune diseases. The source database were cleaned, then mapped for mining database. Minimum support to 0.1 and minimum confidence level to 0.9 were set for analysis of association rules. Results One hundred and six strong association rules were formed, and the rules contained the relation between the incidence of sudden deafness and the characteristics of 19 attributes. Conclusion This method is conducive to make the abstract theory of mathematical statistics into useful association rules to guide the practice of disease prevention and control.

Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37) and Xiajuxu (ST 39) are considered as the lower He-sea points, which are located along the leg lines of stomach meridian of foot Yangming from top to bottom. According to the corresponding zang-fu of lower He-sea points, the distribution order from top to bottom is stomach, large intestine and small intestine. This is significantly different from digestive physiology function sequence of stomach, small intestine and large intestine in modern medicine. However, it conforms to their anatomical position from top to bottom. In order to make a further confirmation that the indication specificity of Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37) and Xiajuxu (ST 39) is closely associated with anatomical location, a great number of ancient and modern literature is reviewed. It is found that the functions of the three acupoints are obviously related to stomach, large intestine and small intestine, respectively, indicating that the sequence of Zusanli (ST 36), Shangjuxu (ST 37) and Xiajuxu (ST 39) is related to anatomical position of corresponding zang-fu. This study conclusion could play an important role for exploring the significance of anatomical location in indication specificity of acupoints.
