Objective We adopt acupuncture associating with TAX,to investigate the anti-cancer effect and mechanism.Methods 48 mice with inoculated Lewis Lung Carcinoma were divided randomly into 4 groups:model group,acupuncture group,medicine group,combination of acupuncture and medicine group.Growth state of the mice and change curve of tumour.Protein expression of apoptosis related factor p53 and Bc1-2 in tumour were observed by Western Blotting method.Results Acupuncture,TAX and the combination of acupuncture and TAX separately had anti-tumor effect,with the combination was the best and improve growth state of the mice.p53 and bc1-2 can be detected in four groups.Compared with model group,the expression of other groups was lower.Compared with acupuncture group and medicine group, the exprission of combination group of acupuncture and TAX was lower.Conclution Combination of acupuncture and TAX can prohibit p53 Mutant and decrease Bcl-2,which have co-operating effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of 2000 ArthroCare System in knee arthroscopic surgery. Methods 221 cases of knee problems were treated with 2000ArthroCare System. The disorders of the 221 cases diagnosed by the arthroscopy were as follows: 73 cases of osteoarthritis, 49 meniscus tear, 29 degenerative cartilage injury, 11 plica synovitis, 11 Kaschin Beck disease, 8 ACL, 5 osteochondritis dissecans, and 2 TKA brisement. The operative procedures, such as meniscectomy, meniscoplasty, fitting of cartilage and ligament, synovectomy, and release of lateral patellar retinaculum, were done with 2000ArthroCare System and arthroscopy. Results The Lysholm Knee scores were 43.92 preoperatively, 81.96 three months postoperatively, and 92.06 six months postoperatively. Conclusion Knee problems can be effectively released with 2000 ArthroCare system vaporization under arthroscopic guidance. The advantages of this procedure are very limited tissue damage, mild reaction, less blood loss, early rehabilitation, and fine functional recovery.

This paper introduces an infusion remote-control system based on wireless data-transfer.It can realize such functions as the accurate control of the infusion speed,humanized prompt,central monitoring,wardship and management.Ultrasonic adopted to detect the flux,the lower MCU can fulfill such functions as control,display and storage,which can also perform real-time wireless communication with the upper PC to facilitate remote control.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between Chinese medical types of coronary heart disease (CHD) [i.e., phlegm turbidity syndrome (PTS) and qi deficiency syndrome (QDS)] and their metabolites.

METHODSRecruited were 65 CHD patients including 37 cases of PTS and 28 cases of QDS. Serum endogenous metabolites in the two syndrome types were determined by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-computer (GC/MS), and their differences between their metabolic profiles analyzed.

RESULTSMore than 100 chromatographic peaks were totally scanned. Chromatograms obtained was matched with mass spectrum bank, and finally we got the category contribution value of 46 kinds of substances. Results of MCTree analysis showed patients of PTS and patients of QDS could be effectively distinguished. Compounds contributing to identify the two syndromes were sequenced as serine, valine, 2 hydroxy propionic acid. Comparison of metabolites showed contents of serine and 2 hydroxy propionic acid were higher in patients of PTS than in patients of QDS (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe differences in the metabonomics of CHD TCM syndrome types could provide material bases for TCM syndrome differentiation of CHD, indicating that metabonomics technologies might become a new research method for TCM syndrome typing.

The informatization of traditional Chinese medicine resources is the basis of modern medicine. With a spatial attribute traditional Chinese medicine resources could be carried out for in-depth spatial analysis, data mining and traditional Chinese medicine resources regional industrial layout. In this paper, we took the data of Glycyrrhiza uralensis in the third national Chinese medicine resources survey as the experimental data, described the principles and structure of traditional Chinese medicine resources spatial information database. We also described the establishment of analysis model with the help of this spatial database.

Objective To investigate the methylation status in the promoter region of Dickkopf-3 (Dkk3) gene in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS),and to initially explore the relationship between the methylation of this gene and survival time.Methods Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was applied to measure the promoter methylation of Dkk3 gene in 43 bone marrow or peripheral blood samples of MDS patients.As controls,70 normal peripheral blood samples from general outpatients were examined.Results In 43 patients with MDS,7 patients (16.3 ％) showed Dkk3 gene methylation.And 5 of them were semi-methylation status,2 of them were exhaustive methylation status.In 70 controls,1 showed Dkk3 gene semi-methylation.The frequency of methylation in MDS patients was significantly higher than that of controls (x2 =8.93,P =0.005).In the Dkk3 methylation group,2/7 were from bone marrow and 5/7 were from peripheral blood.Meanwhile,2 patients were RA,1 patient was RCMD,4 patients were RAEB.There was no significant difference between the different sample source (bone marrow or peripheral blood) for the results of the methylation status (x2 =0.051,P =0.821).Either between the different sex,age,type,chromosome and WPSS score (P ＞ 0.05).The progress of disease didn't influence the methylation frequency (P ＞ 0.05).The smvival analysis showed no relationship between the methylation of this gene and smvival time.Conclusions In this MDS group,there is high level of methyl-modification in Dkk3 gene.The methylation of Dkk3 might be one of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the progress of patients with MDS.The peripheral blood sample maybe a better substitute in detective of Dkk3 with MDS.

Objective To overcome the fact that SRV-NM virus can only multiple and amplify through partially pu-rified jaagsiekte retrovirus inoculated intratracheally in sheep but it cannot be augmented using in vitro cell culture, we con-structed JSRV-NM pseudovirions based on high efficiency packing system of lentivirus. Methods Lentivirus of three high efficiency packing plasmids system pMD.G, pCMV-HIV 8.2 and pHIV-eGFP was developed, and JSRV-NM-env coated plasmid pCMVJSRV-NM was used to substitute VSV-G virus coated plasmid pMD.G then co-transfected into 293T cells to replicate, package and produce restructured JSRV-NM pseudovirions. Gene expression of pseudovirion was determined through WPRE using real time PCR; Virus infectivity was detected through inoculating JSRV-NM pseudovirions into 24 pore plates. Results We construct JSRV-NM pseudovirions successfully based on the lentivirus system. JSRV-NM pseudo-virions can also be concentrated to higher titer (108 TU/mL detected by real time PCR by ultracentrifugation without signifi-cant loss of activity. JSRV-NM and VSV-G pseudovirions infected on Hela cells (both MOI= 3) respectively and no obvi-ous difference were shown on their infection efficiency detected by real time PCR. Conclusion Based on lentivirus system, JSRV-NM pseudovirions can be multipled and amplified in 293T cell culture in vitro. JSRV-NM pseudovirions is stable without loss its infection activity and the requirements of biological laboratory safety II was also met. JSRV-NM pseudoviri-ons will provide a useful tool for further study of JSRV-NM-env infection across species or its induction of lung adenocarci-noma.
