Objective To study the mechanism of 308 nm excimer laser combined with piperine activated the production of melanin in amelanotic melanocytes in outer root sheath of hair(AMMC) ,and promote the expression of TRP‐1、TRP‐2 protein . Methods AMMC were in incubated for 24、72、120 h in different groups(combination therapy group ,the 308 nm excimer laser group ,the piperine group ,the positive control group and the control group) .Then the melanin content was measured .The expres‐sion change of TRP‐1 and TRP‐2 in cells were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy .Results Four groups increased the AMMC cellular melanin content .Four different groups could promote melanin content at different degrees .The combination therapy group played the strongest role in promoting function .And the function was the most obviously in 24 h ,it also was concentration dependent .0 .5 mmol/L piperine in combination group and piperine group could produce promoting effect of within 72 h on the ex‐pression of TRP‐1 ,but its role was not evident in the expression of TRP‐2 .308 nm excimer laser had effects both on TRP 1 and TRP 2 .Conclusion 308 nm excimer laser combination with piperine can increase the activation of amelanotic melanocytes in outer root sheath of hair .

OBJECTIVE: To establish the HPLC fingerprints of the freeze-dried Xueshuantong for injection.METHODS: The HPLC chromatographic column was Zorbax SB-Aq-C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water for gradient elution.The UV detection wavelength was set at 203 nm.RESULTS: There were 13 mutual peaks in the HPLC fingerprints of the freeze-dried Xueshuantong for injection.The relative retention time and relative peak area ratio of the fingerprints in which ginsenosides Rg1 served as internal standard were obtained.The area of non-mutual peaks represented no more than 5% of total peak area.CONCLUSION: The method is simple and reliable and it is applicable for the quality control of the freeze-dried Xueshuantong for injection.

Despite of great advances in drug management of heart failure in the past ten years,the condition remains a major public health issue,with high prevalence,poor clinical outcomes.Treatment of established systolic chronic heart failure includes agents that block the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and sympathetic nervous systems to prevent adverse remodelling,to reduce symptoms and prolong survival.Diuretics,Vasodilator and Digoxin are often used to improve sign,with no influence on prognosis.Pharmacological agents aimed at new targets on clinically relevant endpoints are going under investigating.

Visualization technology is more and more widely used in clinical anesthesia.Nerve block in pediatric anesthesia assisted by visual technique of ultrasound not only achieved the similar curative effect as traditional blind operation but also had lower incidence of complications,so this technology is more and more useful in pediatric anesthesia.This article reviewed the progress of the application of ultrasound guided nerve block in pediatric anesthesia.

Objective To observe the effect of Melodic Intonation Therapy on severe aphasia.Methods Additionally to the stimulus therapy,familiar songs were used in the treatment of listening,retelling and naming in 12 cases.Results The patients showed improvement in listening,retelling and naming.Conclusion Using familiar songs in the treatment can promote the recovery of aphasic patients.

Objective To assess the association between the depth of trophoblastic penetration into the tubal wall with serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG). Meth-ods Eighty patients with a diagnosis of tubal pregnancy in the ampullary region underwent radical surgical treatment (sal-pingectomy), were included in this study. The serum levels of VEGF andβ-HCG were detected on the day of surgery. The se-rum level of VEGF was measured by ELISA. The serum level ofβ-HCG was quantified with a two-site immunofluorimetric assay based on the direct sandwichtechnique. Histological material was stained with Masson's trichrome to identify muscular fibers. Immunohistochemical staining was used for human placental lactogen (hPL) to identify intermediate trophoblast and determine the depth of trophoblastic invasion into the tubal wall. The ampullary pregnancies were classified histologically ac-cording to the depth of trophoblastic infiltration into the tubal wall. Results The mean serum values of VEGF andβ-HCG were significantly lower in patients with stage I tubal infiltration than those of stageⅡ, and which were significantly lower in patients with stageⅡthan those in stageⅢ(P<0.05). The threshold serum value of VEGF was 308.6 ng/L, the sensitivity was 100.0%and the specificity was 92.6%for stageⅠand stageⅡ. The threshold serum value of VEGF was 431.9 ng/L, the sensitivity was 79.3%and specificity was 79.2%for stageⅡandⅢ. The threshold serum value ofβ-hCG was 2 509.6 IU/L, the sensitivity was 91.7%and specificity was 81.5%for stageⅠand stageⅡ, and levels of 13 142.6 IU/L, 72.4%and 95.8%for stageⅡand stageⅢ. Conclusion The depth of trophoblastic penetration into the tubal wall is associated with maternal serum concentrations of VEGF andβ-HCG, which can be used as the evaluation index for histological staging of trophoblas-tic tissue infiltration.

Ovarian neoplasms,composed predominantly or exclusively of small round cells with scant cytoplasm,is relatively rare.However,there is a wide range of differentiation,and pathologists often struggle to make a correct diagnosis because of its overlapping histological features.Perhaps the best known neoplasm of this kind is ovarian small cell carcinoma of the hypercalcemic type,which may be confused with a wide range of neoplasm from sex cord-stromal tumor to neoplasm in the family of small round blue cell tumor to various undifferentiated malignancies.Small cell carcinoma of the pulmonary type may also arise from the ovary,and this may be a component of a typical ovarian surface epithelial-stromal tumor.Other small cell neoplasm that may arise within the ovary or involve the ovary includes intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor,metastatic small cell carcinoma,peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor,and endometrial stromal sarcoma.In this review,the morphologic features of some of these neoplasms are described,as well the value of immunohistochemistry and other ancillary techniques in establishing a diagnosis.

Radiotherapy is the main way to treat the Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. But there are a lot of serious complications, the most common one of then is radioactive xerostomia. It seriously affect the patients's quality of life, even make patients change or stop their radiotherapy. It is extremely important to prevent and treat xerostomia caused by radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the significance of the mutation of c-kit gene in the development,(clinical) pathology and prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs).Methods The technique of(PCR-SSCP) was used to detect ckit gene mutation in 106 cases of GIST,and 57 of the cases were(followed-up).Results The c-kit gene mutation rate in the whole group was 45.3%(48/106),and(3.4)%(2/41) in benign GIST,and 70.8%(46/65) in malignant GIST.The 1-,3 and 5-year survival rates and median survival time of the mutation positive group were all markedlly lower than those of the(mutation) negative group.A comparison of the parameters that can differentiate the benign GISTs from malignant ones such as size,histological necrosis,aggressive grade,nucleus mitotic count and nuclear discrepancy,showed significant difference between the of postive and negative gene mutation(P
