AIM: To investigate the characteristics of chromosome of teratocarcinoma and its influence elements. METHODS: We used the methods of G-banded karyotype analysis, DNA basic sequence analysis and Western blot and the others, and studied the chromosome karyotype and the status of p53 gene of teratocarcinoma PA-1 cell line which had been cultured for 407-445 passages for 20 years. RESULTS: More than 80% PA-1 cells still maintained the near-diploid karyotype ,after passage 30 the cells appeared with M1 and M2 chromosomal markers because of a balanced translocation between chromosomes 15 and 20. DNA directional sequence analysis of RP-PCR products revealed that there were both wild and mutated band (p53 codon 239 mutation), Western blot did not detect mutational p53 gene protein,while p21 protein expression lower than that in normal human fibroblasts. CONCLUSION:Missense mutation of one of the p53 allele gene of PA-1 cells in human teratocarcinoma was detected after cultured for more than twenty years, which was not sufficient to induce the instability of the chromosome of cell line.

Objective:To understand the construction,functional status and the meaning of p53 gene of PA-1 cells derived from human teratocarcinoma.Methods:DNA basic sequence analysis,FASAY(functional and sequencing analysis of separated alleles in yeast)and Western blot analysis were used.Results:Direct sequence analysis RT-PCR products showed both wild and mutated bands(p53 colon 239 mutation), FASAY showed that one allele of the p53 gene was active(wild) .while the other was inactive( mutant) .In Western blot analysis haven't defect the gene protein of p53, while the PA-1 cells expressed the p21 protein to a lesser extent than normal human tibroblaste. Conclusion:One type of the p53 allele gene of PA-1 cells of human teratocarcinoma was detected as missense mutation after cultured for more than twenty years, and this mutation is not sufficient to induce the instabih'ty of the chromosome of cell line. So that the study for the maintenance contruction of the stability nuclein type of PA-1 cells is very important to determin whether the genes is stability or instability of chromosomes.

Objective To investigate the effect of MOTOmed movement therapy on balance and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) of convalescing stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods Forty convalescent stroke patients exhibiting hemiplegia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 20 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation training; the treatment group received MOTOmed training in addition. Balance function of all the patients was assessed using Berg's balance scale (BBS) , and the Barthel Index ( BI) was used to assess ADL ability at the beginning of the program and after 6 weeks of treatment. Results Balance and ADL ability improved significantly in both groups after 6 weeks of treatment. The effect in the treatment group was significantly better than in the control group. Balance and ADL ability were positively correlated. Conclusions Applying MOTOmed therapy along with routine rehabilitation training can distinctly improve balance and the ADL ability of hemiplegics after stroke.

BACKGROUND:It is believed that the splintage can promote periodontal tissue repair and improve the prognosis of loose teeth. However, the force of the splint is associated with the rigidity of the splint and adaptation between the teeth and the splint.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of the nylon composite resin periodontal splint, the
fiber-reinforced composite periodontal splint and the bracket periodontal splint on the treatment of severe periodontitis of the mandibular anterior teeth.
METHODS:Seventy-two patients with severe periodontitis of the mandibular anterior teeth were randomized into 3 groups, with 24 cases in each group: nylon composite resin periodontal splint, fiber-reinforced composite
periodontal splint and bracket periodontal splint groups. The clinical effects of the three kinds of periodontal splints and periodontal indexes were compared at 1, 6 and 12 months after splinting.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The clinical effects in the group of the fiber-reinforced composite periodontal
splint were significantly better than those in the other two groups at 1, 6, 12 months, which were 100%, 100% and 95.8%, respectively. The plaque index, bleeding index, and pocket depth were worse in the group of the nylon
composite resin periodontal splint than the other two groups (P < 0.05). Results suggest that the fiber-reinforced composite periodontal splint is preferred to preserve the loosened teeth with severe periodontitis.

The curative effects of multi-disciplinary and comprehensive treatments for colorectsl cancer have been widely recognized in recent years.Because of the diversification of colorectal cancer treatment and the relatively mature technology,the current treatment of colorectal cancer could embody the multi-disciplinary and comprehensive treatment.The curative effect of neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been validated by several recent clinical trials.Other treatment methods such as Chinese medicine,radiofrequency ablation and hepatic artery infusion therapy are also involved in the comprehensive treatment,which provide considerable curative effects.

Objective To discuss the relationship between the fracture of the clavicle which was fixed by tor-sional-shaped plate and nonunion after operation.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted in 426 patients with midshaft clavicle fractures.Among the patients,the A group used torsional-shaped plate to meet the anatomical structure of the clavicle:the medial plate matched under the front face of the clavicle,and the lateral plate matched the up face of the clavicle.And the traditional method was used in the B group.Patients were followed up for at least 12 months,the patients were judged by X-ray criteria for nonunion.Results A total of 28 patients with nonunion, including 4 cases in A group,24 cases in B group.After statistics processing,the difference between A group and B group was significant (χ2 =6.679,P=0.010).Conclusion We find that the treatment of the fracture of the middle part of the clavicle with torsional-shaped plate can effectively reduce the incidence of nonunion.

This article discussed the theoretical basis,therapeutic thoughts and concrete methods for treating ankylosing spondylitis on Governor vessel from the aspects of the clinical symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis,the circulation of Governor vessel,traditional Chinese medicine basic theory and clinical application.Moxibustion on Governor vessel can effective improve the stiffness and pain of ankylosing spondylitis.

ObjectiveTheaimofthisstudywastoprovideabetterpositivecontrolforallergictestbycomparing the allergic effect of two kinds of positive materials , human albumin and ovalbumin , on active systemic anaphylaxis in guinea pig.Methods Guinea pigs were randomly divided into 14 groups, and were given human albumin , ovalbumin (2, 10, 100 mg/animal), or 0.9%sodium chloride injection as test substances , to assess the symptoms and incidence of systemic allergic responses induced by different sensitizing substances in different challenge doses and different challenge intervals.Results In the range of 2 to 100 mg/animal, the guinea pigs showed a 100%incidence rate of positive allergic reaction to human albumin and ovalbumin , the severity of anaphylactic symptoms was increasing along with the increase of sensitizing doses and challenge doses , and the allergic reaction was more strong induced by the same dose of ovalbumin than human albumin .Conclusions Our findings indicate that in the active systemic anaphylaxis test in guinea pigs , we recommend ovalbumin as the positive control in a dose of 2 mg/animal.
