Adenocarcinoma of exocrine pancreas is a highly malignant tumor with extremely low resectability.Radiotherapy,by inducing necrosis and apoptosis of tumor cells through irradiation effects on cellular DNA,in combination with chemotherapy,has made great contribution to multimodal treatment of this malignancy.The development of radiation therapy for pancreatic carcinoma in recent years was reviewed in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings,and for locally advanced disease.Further evidence is required to show the impact of radiochemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable disease.

China Medical Equipment 2017;14(6):78-81
Objective:To explore the application of EMG and bio-feedback instrument in the recovery of neurological function and hemorheology for patients with stroke.Methods: 65 patients with stroke were enrolled in this study and were randomly divided into combined group (33 cases) and control group (32 cases) as random number table. The patients of combined group were treated by rehabilitation training combined with reconstruction and treatment instrument of neurological function on the basis of basic medicine therapy. The patients of control group were treated only by rehabilitation training on the basis of basic medicine therapy. The clinical effects, the recovery situation of neurological function and the change situation of hemorheology before and after treatment were compared and analyzed.Results: The effective rate of clinical treatment was 96.97% in the combined group and it was 59.38% in the control group, and the difference of effective rate between the two groups was significant (x2=12.473,P<0.05). After treatment, the differences of the daily life behavior Barthel index scale and Fug I -Meyer Assessment (FMA) of motor function score between the two groups were significant (t=7.632,t=5.693;P<0.05). Besides, the plasma viscosity, erythrocyte ratio, platelet aggregation rate, erythrocyte deformation index, erythrocyte aggregation index and fibrinogen of combined group were significantly better than control group, and the differences of them were statistically significant (t=6.859, t=10.263,t=7.626,t=6.623,t=8.257,t=6.003;P<0.05).Conclusion:The reconstruction and treatment instrument of neurological function make a synergistic effect in the treatment of stroke, and it can effectively treat patient with stroke and improve their clinical symptoms. And it also can enhance the motor function of limbs and the self -help ability, and it can significantly improve each indexes of hemorheology of patients. Therefore, it can achieve the better clinical therapeutic effect.

The diabetic patients died of cardiovascular disease mainly. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of diabetes complicated with atherosclerosis were still unclear. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress may play a vital intermediate role in the progression of diabetic atherosclerosis. Both of diabetic hyperglycemia induced hexosamine pathway and diabetes induced macrophage insulin resistance can lead to ER stress. The unfolded protein response (UPR) produced by ER stress can be observed throughout the whole development course of atherosclerosis. In addition, ER stress also induced lipid deposition, cell apoptosis and inflammatory response, all of which was important for the progression of atherosclerosis. Though ER stress may be key for diabetes induced atherosclerosis, which pathway played the central role and the interaction between cytokines still need to be investigated. So that we could provide individual therapeutic scheme for treatment as well as prevention of diabetic complication.

Recent studies show that cholecystokinin, a brain-gut peptide, also locates in lung tissues in many animals. Cholecystokinin in lung tissues participates in the modulation of the tone of the tracheae and the pulmonary vessels. It also regulates the breathing pattern as a nerve transmitter in the respiratory center. This paper discusses the location and the biological role of cholecystokinin in lung tissues and focuses on its part during lung diseases.

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of pprI gene from Deinococcus radiodurans R1 and investigate its radioresistant effects in eukaryotic cells.Methods A recombinant vector pEGFP-c1-pprI was constructed by DNA recombinant technique.The empty vector pEGFP-c1 and the pEGFP-c1-pprI were transferred into human lung epithelial cells Beas-2B by LipofectamineTM 2000,respectively.Then the infected cells were screened in order to develop a cell line with stable expression of pprI gene.Cell survival rate was tested by clone-forming assay.Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected by a flow cytometry.The fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was observed by a fluorescent microscope.γ-H2AX foci in the irradiated cell was detected by immunofluorescence.Results The eukaryotic expression plasmid of pprI prokaryotic gene was constructed and PprI fusion protein was expressed in human lung epithelial cells successfully,and the cell line (2BG) with a stable pprI gene expression was established.After irradiation,the cell survival fraction of 2BG cells was significantly higher than Beas-2B cells so that the value of D0 、Dq and N of the survival curve were increased.Moreover,the fluorescence intensity of ROS and the number of γ-H2AX foci in 2BG cells were also lower than those of B eas-2B cells(F =16.73,19.47,6.94,P < 0.05).Between these two cell lines,the apoptosis rate and cell cycle G2 arrest also had significant difference (F =139.73,237.92,P < 0.05).Conclusions The pprI gene from Deinococcus radiodurans RI can be stably expressed in the eukaryotic cells and it allows the transferred cells to have a radioresistant function.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of three techniques in the diagnosis of renal diseases following multiple myeloma. Methods 41 serum samples from the kidney-damaged patients with multiple myeloma and 36 from the control group with general renal diseases were detected by quantitative analysis of immunoglobulins, serum protein electrophoresis and serum Immunofixation Electrophoresis. The accuracy and sensitivity of the three techniques were analysed by Two-way ANOVA and Multiple Comparisons of the check-out rate of monoclonal immunoglobulin. Results No monoclonal components were checked out by quantitative analysis of immunoglobulins. The checkout rate of IgG and IgM myelomas were 100% by serum protein electrophoresis, which had application limit on other types of myelomas. Whereas all secretarial myelomas could be diagnosed and typied by Immunofixation Electrophoresis, the sensitivity and accuracy was 100%, there was no false positive in the control group. Comparing with quantitative analysis of immunoglobulins and serum protein electrophoresis, serum Immunofixation electrophoresis had higher sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosis of renal diseases following multiple myeloma ( P

Objective This study aimed to identify high?risk groups for metabolic syndrome(MS)among Chinese children and adolescents by calculating the cutoff values of adiposity measures and insulin resistance(IR). Methods From December 2010 to January 2011,data from 933 Chinese subjects(492 boys and 436 girls,aged 11?16 years)from Liaoyang City,China,were included. Questionnaires were administered,and da?ta such as anthropometric parameters(height,waist circumference,and hip circumference),blood pressure,fasting blood glucose level,blood lip?id level,serum uric acid level,and fasting insulin level were collected. Receiver?operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to deter?mine the optimal cutoff waist?to?height ratio(WHtR),waist?to?hip ratio(WHR),homeostasis model assessment?insulin resistance(HOMA?IR) index,triglyceride level,glucose index(TyG index),and serum uric acid(SUA)level for identification of children and adolescents with MS. Results The AUC of WHtR,WHR,TyG index,HOMA?IR index,and SUA level were larger than 0.5,with P values of<0.01. The optimal cutoff WHtR and WHR derived from the ROC analysis were respectively 0.48(87.0%,84.1%)and 0.84(83.3%,70.3%)for boys and 0.46(95.1%, 81.8%)and 0.80(90.5%,71.8%)for girls. Conclusion This study demonstrated that WHtR and WHR are useful predictive markers of MS , while HOMA?IR,TyG index,and SUA level are not. The usefulness of these criteria needs to be verified by further evaluation.
