Objective To study the results comparability of two kinds of different chemiluminescence systems(Antu chemilumi-nescence analyzer ADC CLIA 400 and Siemens centaur xp)in the detection of tumor markers.Methods The tumor markers were detected in 50 specimens by using the Antu chemiluminescence analyzer ADC CLIA 400 and the Siemens centaur xp chemilumines-cence analyzer respectively.Then the results were analyzed and compared.Results The quantitative analysis results on the serum specimens showed that there was no significant difference in the detection results between the two kinds of detection system(P >0.05).The correlation coefficients of 5 test items between the two kinds of detection system were more than 0.836,suggesting a good correlation between the two kinds of method.The accuracy and repeatability of the Siemens centaur xp chemiluminescence ana-lyzer were higher than those of the Antu chemiluminescence analyzer ADC CLIA 400 in detecting the tumor markers.Conclusion The Siemens centaur xp chemiluminescence analyzer is better than the Antu chemiluminescence analyzer ADC CLIA 400 in detec-ting the tumor immune markers.

The paper is to report the establishment of a method for quickly evaluating compatibility of Chinese medicines injections. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to evaluate compatibility of Yiqifumai (YQFM) and vitamin C injection (Vc)/5% glucose injection (5% GS). The diversification of Gibbs free energy (deltaG), enthalpy (deltaH) and entropy (deltaS) were used to decide reaction types of colliquefaction procedures of different injections. The reactive profiles were used to determine signs and quantity of heat. And high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used as a supportive method for ITC. Then, feasible binding sites were analyzed based on the information of spatial structures of major compositions. During the colliquefaction procedure of YQFM and Vc, [deltaH] > T[deltaS], so, the reaction is enthalpy-driving. And the reactive profile showed that a big deal of heat was given out during the procedure. Obviously, chemical reactions happened and the major compositions changed. On the other side, the reaction of YQFM mixed with 5% GS was entropy-driving, because [deltaH] < T[deltaS]. The reactive profile showed there was a little heat gave out. So, non-chemical reactions happened, and the major compositions did not change. The conformity existed between the results of ITC and HPLC. ITC could be used to evaluate the compatibility of Chinese medicines injections because of the advantages of ITC, such as real time, fast, sensitive and having more parameters.

Objective To research the effects of drought stress on activity of key enzyme in saikosaponin biosynthesis and saponins content in Bupleurum chinense; To reveal response of Bupleurum chinense to drought stress from protein level. Methods Bupleurum chinense was cultivated in potted water control experiment with 70%–80%, 60%–70%, 40%–50% and 20%–30% saturated soil water contents. The enzyme activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR), isoprenyl-based coke (IPPI), farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPS) and β-carotenoid synthase (β-AS) of six months and one year old Bupleurum chinense were measured. The contents of saikosaponins a and d in samples of different soil water contents were determined by HPLC. Results When the saturated moisture was 40%–50%, the enzymatic activities of HMGR, IPPI, FPS and β-AS were the highest, followed by saturated moisture 60%–70%、70%–80% and 20%–30%. The trend of saikosaponin was similar to that of the activity of key enzyme. Conclusion 40%–50% soil saturated water content can significantly increase the activity of the key enzymes in the saikosaponin synthesis pathway. The saponin content and enzyme activity show a significant positive correlation, indicating that under drought stress, Bupleurum chinense regulates the synthesis of saikosaponin by regulating the key enzyme activity of saikosaponin synthesis pathway to respond drought stress.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the applicability of immune-related response criteria (irRC) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by Chinese medicine (CM).

METHODSTotally 97 stage III a-IV NSCLC patients were predominantly treated with comprehensive CM. Curative effects were evaluated by three methods such as Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Oncologic Curative Effect Evaluation Criteria of Chinese Medicine in Solid Tumor (draft, abbreviated as CM criteria), and irRC. The correspondency and consistency between irRC, RECIST and CM criteria were analyzed and compared. The objectivity of irRC in evaluating curative effect of Chinese medical treatment for NSCLC was assessed.

RESULTSThe correspondency rate of irRC to RECIST was 59. 79% with Kappa value of 0. 379 (U test, P <0. 01). The two criteria had certain correspondence, but with an unsatisfactory consistency. The correspondency rate of irRC to CM criteria rate was 83. 51% with Kappa value of 0.751 (U test, P <0. 01). The two criteria had good correspondence and consistency.

CONCLUSIONSCM criteria had good consistency with CM criteria in evaluating curative effect for Chinese medical treatment of advanced NSCLC. Its results could objectively reflect features and advantages of CM for treating advanced NSCLC.

Abstract Long-term use of levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease can cause motor complications, which seriously impair the patients'motor function, reduce the quality of life, and aggravate the functional disability. Since there has been no effective treatment for motor complications, clarifying the influencing factors and prevention methods are conducive to reducing the risk of incidence and improving the quality of life of the patients. This paper summarizes the types and mechanism of motor complications of Parkinson's disease, the influencing factors ( levodopa dose, onset age, Helicobacter pylori infection and high protein diet ) and preventive measures ( psychological intervention, low protein diet, rehabilitation exercise and drugs ), so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of the disease.

Overexpression of survivin may partly protect the NIT-1 cells(mouse insulin-secreting cells) from cytokine-induced apoptosis.In addition, NIT-1 cells transfected with survivin had an slightly improved response of insulin secretion to glucose stimulation.

An 81-year-old male presented with an 8-year history of recurrent ulcer on the left dorsal foot which gradually spread to involve both lower limbs. Physical examination revealed no abnormality of any organ systems and no palpable superficial lymph nodes. Skin examination showed erythematous swelling of the left dorsal foot with an ulcer sized 7 cm × 10 cm on the surface. Tendon was visible at the base of the ulcer, and the ulcer margin was elevated giving a dyke-like appearance. The perilesional skin was purple-brown. There were several millet-like papuloid lesions circularly arranged at the inner side of the right foot as well as dark erythematous or brown nodules and pigmented patches with tenderness on both lower limbs. Histopathology of the ulcer of the left dorsal foot and papuloid lesions on the right foot revealed a visible epidermotropic infiltrate in the epidermis as well as an infiltration throughout the entire dermis with medium-sized atypical lymphoid cells with obvious mitoses. Immunohistochemical examination showed the coexpression of both T cell markers (including CD3, CD45RO, CD43) and B cell marker (CD20), with scatted positive staining for PAX-5and negative staining for CD79α or CD1 9. PCR confirmed the rearrangement of T cell receptor (TCR)-γgene. A diagnosis of peripheral T cell lymphoma unspecified was made in view of the rearrangement of TCR-γgene and above findings. The patient was treated with the following modified CHOP regimen: intravenous cyclophosphamide 0.8 g, leurocristine 2 mg and epirubicin hydrochloride 60 mg, as well as oral prednisone 15 mg twice daily for 5 days every 3 weeks (one treatment session). After 3 treatment sessions, the lesions improved markedly.
