Previous research rcvealed that distortion is detected in transient voltage signal recorded with traditional patch clamp amplifier under current clamp mode, which is essentially resulted by electronic design of the headstage of the patch clamp. A new kind of headstage is designed to modify the defect, the circuit of which not only measures the transient potentials as the classical voltage follower does but also is quite suitable for the standard voltage-clamp mode. Furthermore, the technique of voltage-clamp-controlled current-clamp is applied for modifying the conventional patch-clamp amplifier, the variable low-pass filter is added into the circuit to reduce the response speed of voltage-clamp module, thus the transient potentials changes can be measured while membrane potential is kept at a constant value. Bridge balance circuitry is designed to eliminate the voltage drop while the variable current injected into the electrode. And fast capacitance compensation stage of conventional PCA is modified to nentralize the capacitance and accelerate system response speed for current-clamp mode. The experirnental results on cell model demonstrate that modified PCA meets the rcquirement of monitoring transient potential changes in electrophysiology research.

The research of esophageal target is a difficult spot in the precise radiotherapy and the target mobility has an important effect for the radiotherapy of esophageal cancer.By different breathing control techniques,controlling the patient's respiratory may narrow target mobility so as to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy.But the present studies of the movement range of esophageal cancer with the respiratory control technologies have not come to a consistent standard.The area shape and position change of esophageal cancer target is a key problem that needs to be solved in the esophageal precise radiotherapy.

As a transcriptional repressor,Bmi-1 is a member of polyeomb group gene family.It may play an important role in self-renewal ability and proliferation of stem cell.At present,studies show that Bmi-1 is highly expressed in a variety of solid tumors,which can be regarded as one of the markers of cancer stem cells and has a close relation to the cancer development and progression and radiation resistance.It will provide an important target gene for the treatment of malignant tumors.

Objective: To explore value of exercise stress test guiding aerobic exercise rehabilitation in patients with myocardial infarction.Methods: A total of 102 patients with myocardial infarction in recovery were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine rehabilitation group (received routine rehabilitation guidance) and aerobic exercise rehabilitation group (received aerobic rehabilitation exercise in guidance of exercise stress test).Amount of exercise, hemodynamic parameters and psychological state were compared between two groups.Results: After treatment, amount of exercise: compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant rise in amount of exercise[(6.79±0.58)METs vs.(7.42±0.69)METs], maximum heart rate[(126.27±5.26) beats/min vs.(138.18±5.81) beats/min], heart rate blood pressure product[(221.87±21.46) vs.(244.85±23.09)]and exercise duration[(10.36±1.36) min vs.(11.18±1.45) min]in aerobic rehabilitation group, P<0.05 or <0.01;hemodynamic parameters: compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant rise in cardiac output[(5.36±0.57) L/min vs.(5.72±0.68) L/min], cardiac index[(2.96±0.53) L min-1 m-2 vs.(3.25±0.52) L min-1 m-2], stroke volume[(73.16±8.47) ml vs.(78.12±9.14) ml]in aerobic exercise rehabilitation group, P<0.05 all;psychological state: compared with routine rehabilitation group, there were significant reductions in scores of Hamilton rating scale for anxiety[HAMA, (9.74±3.26) scores vs.(6.35±1.18) scores]and Hamilton rating scale for depression[HAMD, (14.83±4.58) scores vs.(10.56±3.27) scores]in aerobic exercise rehabilitation group, P<0.05 both.Conclusion: Exercise stress test guiding aerobic exercise rehabilitation can help to improve exercise function and hemodynamic indexes, alleviate the negative mood, then promote patients recover.

Objective: To analyze the risk factors on acute respiratory dysfunction caused death in patients after type A aortic dissection surgery.
Methods: A total of 223 patients who received aorta replacement surgery in our hospital from 2010-01 to 2012-12 were retrospectively studied. 80 patients suffered from post-operative acute respiratory dysfunction including 61 male and 19 female with the mean age of (49.2 ± 11.6) years. Those patients were divided into 2 groups as Death group, n=18 and Survival group, n=62. We analyzed the most relevant risk factors for death, such as gender, age, histories of smoking, diabetes, hypertension, Marfan syndrome;pre-operative acute or chronic dissection, hypoxemia, mal-perfusion, LVEDD and LVEF;CPB time, aortic-clamping time;post-operative ICU retention time, mechanical ventilation time, permanent neurologic dysfunction, pulmonary infection, MACE, renal failure, hypohepatia, septicemia and wound mal-healing, et al.
Results: The early post-operative (< 3 days) respiratory dysfunction rate was 35.8% and the mortality was 22.5%(18/80). The relevant risk factors of death included female gender (P=0.019), haemorrhage (P<0.01), mechanical ventilation time (P=0.011), permanent neurologic dysfunction (P=0.013), pulmonary infection (P=0.001), MACE (P=0.022), renal failure (P<0.01), hypohepatia (P<0.01) and septicemia (P=0.001). Female gender and renal failure were the independent risk factors for respiratory dysfunction caused death in patients after type A aortic dissection surgery.
Conclusion: The occurrence and mortality were high in patients after type A aortic dissection surgery especially in those with female gender and post-operative renal failure.

Transforming growth factor-β is an important cytokine with various bioactivities, including embryonic development, wound healing, chemotaxis and cell cycle regulation. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the main pathway of tumor cell to obtain the ability of invasion and metastasis. The TGF-β is the key factor known to induce EMT in cancer cells and plays an important role in the process. In recent years, some progress has been obtained. Some TGF-β inhibitors have approved in the market or in clinical trials. TGF-β inhibitors can play an important role on the treatment of tumors, glaucoma, liver and kidney fibrosis disease and scar repair. Novel TGF-β inhibitors reported in recent years were reviewed in this article.

Objective To explore the relationship of molecular biology characteristic and the treatment outcome,and influence factors of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in inflammatory breast cancer (IBC).Methods The clinicopathological data of 103 IBC patients who were treated with NAC from January 2005 to June 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of estrogen receptor (ER),progesteron receptor (PR),human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) and E-cadherin.The treatment outcome were evaluated.Results In 103 IBC patients,ER negative was 48 patients,PR negative was 51 patients,HER-2 positive was 45 patients,E-cadherin positive was 66 patients.The effective rate of chemotherapy was 72.8％ (75/103).The effective rate of chemotherapy in taxane-based group was significantly higher than that in anthracycline-based group [80.6％ (50/62) vs.61.0％(25/41)],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The effective rate of chemotherapy in ER,PR,E-cadherin negative patients was significantly higher than that in ER,PR,E-cadherin positive patients [83.3％ (40/48) vs.63.6％ (35/55),82.4％ (42/51) vs.63.5％ (33/52),83.8％ (31/37) vs.66.7％ (44/66)],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The effective rate of chemotherapy in taxane-based group with E-cadherin positive patients was significantly higher than that in anthracycline-based group with E-cadherin positive patients [77.5％ (31/40) vs.50.0％ (13/26)] (P ＜0.05).No correlation existed between the expression of HER-2 and the treatment outcome of chemotherapy (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion ER,PR and E-cadherin negative patients with IBC is chemosensitive to NAC.The positive expression of E-cadherin may be an important factor of chemotherapy resistance.For the patients with E-cadherin positive,taxane-based chemotherapy regimen can achieve a better effective rate.
