1.Diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary airway tumors
Cancer Research and Clinic 2010;22(z1):66-68
Primary airway tumors are accounted about 1 % of respiratory tumors and have above 20 types. However, due to particularity of the anatomy and function of airway, early diagnosis of the primary air tumors is difficult and the rate of misdiagnosis can reach 83.3 %. To reduce the rate of misdiagnosis, the key measurements of diagnosis are recognization of primary airway tumors, and the main methods include chest computed tomography (CT) and fiberoptic bronchoscopy examination. Surgical treatment is an important part,it includes tumor excision by airway fenestration, the part excision of airway and suture, the resection of airway tumor by its margin and anastomosis, and carinal resection and anastomosis. Anesthesia and the management of respiratory airway are important guarantees for the successful operation. According to the difference of the tumors, the suitable method of anesthesia should be choiced. It is emphasized for anesthesiologist to participate in the preoperative discussion. The postoperative complications include the anastomotic fistula, the anastomotic fistula communication with large vessel, the anastomotic stenosis and granuloma formation, and the pulmonary infection and atelectasis.

It has been indicated that the oncogene and anti-oncogene are closely related to the development and progression of cancer.With the development of molecular biology,detection of oncogene and anti-oncogene has become an important approach for clinical warning and diagnosing of cancer.Since the establishment of the molecular model of colon cancer by Fearon and Vogelstein in 1990,the genetics of colorectal cancer has gained major advances in early diagnosis.Early detection of related gene mutations is helpful for the early warning of colorectal cancer,especially for palients with hereditary cancer(the detection rate is fairly high).This review summarizes the progression of study on biomarkers of colorectal cancer.

Objective To set up a new method of mild hypothermia via lateral ventricle in rabbits following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Twenty-one New Zealand rabbits were used for this study. TBI was pro- duced with all the rabbits in anesthesia by using free-falling impact model. Animals were randomly divided into three groups: a TBI group, a mild hypothermia group (by perfusion of 25℃Ringer's solution via the lateral ventricle) and a control group. The contents of water and total sodium, potassium of the brain region close to traumatic brain tissue were detected and pathological changes were observed in three groups. Results The number of the injured neurons was increased significantly in both TBI group and mild hypothermia group than that in control group at 72 h after TBI (P
7.Effect of Metal Ions on Cell Growth and Phenol Degradation of a Thermophilic Strain BF80
Microbiology 1992;0(06):-
The effect on the growth and phenol degradation of the thermophilic strain BF80 by seventeen different metal ions were studied. The results showed that the metal ions certainly affected the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80. At the concentration of 0.01%,contrasting to the comparison,the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 were restrained intensively by the metal ions of Cu2+,Zn2+,Co2+,Ba2+,Hg2+,Ni2+,Ag+,Al3+. The metal ions of Cr2+ restrained the phenol degradation of BF80 strongly while Cr2+ restrained the growth of BF80 faintly. The metal ions of Sn2+,Fe2+,Fe3+,Pn2+ restrained the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 at a certain concentration,and the effect of inhibition in-creased with the increase of the concentrations of the metal ions. At the low concentration of Mn2+ or Mo2+,the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 were increased,but if the concentration beyond the 0.1%,the growth and phenol degradation of the strain BF80 were inhibited. At the different concentration of Ca2+ or Mg2+,the growth of the strain BF80 were increased and the phenol degradation were accelerated,but the max rate of phenol degradation by BF80 was not influenced obviously. When the medium was added themixture of metal ions of Mo2+ and Mn2+,the strain BF80 grew better,but the rate of the phenol degradation was lower than that of single Mo2+ and Mn2+.

ve To study the effects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF EMFs) on lipid peroxidation of myocardium in rats. Methods The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the contents of malonaldehyde (MDA) of the myocardium tissue of rats under the different conditions such as healthy state, my-ocardiac ischemic state and lead-exposure state before and after ELF EMFs exposure were determined respectively. Results ELF EMFs exposure didn't induce significant changes of SOD activities and MDA contents in myocardium of healthy rats, but caused the SOD activities of myocardium of lead-exposure rats to decrease from (31.24?1.08)U/mg prot before exposure to ELF EMFs to (29.20?1.14) U/mg prot after exposure to ELF EMFs (P
