Objective To study the value of CT in evaluating the operable of gastric carcinoma in advanced stage.Methods The plainor contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed in 158 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma before operation.The patients were dividedinto "operable"group and"inoperable"group based on CT appearances with blind method,and CT features were analysed comparatively with operative findings.Results Of 102 patients in the operable group,97 cases were resected(95.1%).Of 56 cases in the inoperable group,50 underwent a laparotomy and in only 6 cases the tumors were resected.There was significant difference between the two groups(P

Objective To investigate the proliferation and phenotypes of peripheral mononuclear cells (PMNC) stimulated by recombinant human RANTES (rhRANTES) and the mechanisms involved.Methods PMNC was stimulated by various concentrations of rhRANTES and/or anti-CD3 mAb and intervened by PDTC and CTLA4Ig. Scintillation counter was used to count the cpm of proliferation cells and flow cytometry was used to detect the phenotypes of lymphocytes.Results rhRANTES was capable of directly stimulating purified human PMNC proliferation and two peaks occurred with rhRANTES concentration of 100 ng/ml and 5000 ng/ml respectively. The proliferation of PMNC stimulated by rhRNATES was significantly higher than that in the presence of anti-CD3mAb (P

Objective To investigate the implication of lymphotactin (LTN) mRNA expression in cardiac allografts and the effect of cyclosporin A (CsA).Methods Three groups of rats underwent the heterotopic cardiac transplantation: isograft group (group A), untreated group (group B) and CsA treated group (group C). The LTN mRNA expression was detected by one step RT PCR method. Results The expression of LTN mRNA was not detected in both isografts and normal hearts. The changes of LTN mRNA expression were correlated with the process of acute allograft rejection. The peak of elevated level of the LTN mRNA expression appeared in the 5th day after transplantation and CsA could delay the peak and downregulate its expression. The peak level of LTN mRNA expression in group C was significantly lower than that in group B ( P

Objective To explore the dynamic changes of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and myelin basic protein (MBP) in serum of rats with temporal epilepsy (EP) induced by kainic acid (KA) and to judge the degree of injury of brain neuron and nerve myelin after seizure.Methods KA was injected into rat's hippocampus by stereotactic operation to establish an animal model of temporal EP.The levels of NSE and MBP in serum of rats with temporal EP were measured at the time 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after seizure.Results The level of NSE in serum increased gradually and reached its peak at 24 h after seizure, as well as MBP at 72 h.Conclusions There are the nerve cell damage and necrosis after seizure in rats with temporal EP, then brain white matter nerve myelin appear to damage.

Objective: To explore the effect of cognitive therapy on obsessional compulsive disorder (OCD). Method: Forty-seven patients with OCDO were randomly assigned to cognitive therapy group and conventional treatment group, the later with paroxetine treatment only as control. The results were assessed with Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Yale-Brown Obsessional Compulsive Scale and social disability screening scale. Result: The cognitive therapy group had lower scores in HAMA and Y-BOCS than the control group after 8 weeks therapy, this difference remained in the follow-up after 6 months, when the cognitive group had also lower score in social disability. Conclusion: Cognitive therapy can benefit patients with OCD more than medication only.

Objective To discuss the effects of 6Emodel on stress distress in patients with colorectal cancer after permanent intestinal stoma and to provide reference for the implementation of psychological intervention. Methods A total of 168 patients with permanent intestinal stoma were divided into control group(85 cases)and intervention group(83 cases).In the control group,routine nursing was adopted,while in intervention group,nursing based 6Emodel (including experience,environment,event,engaging,effect,expand)was adopted.The time of intervention was 1 year,and the psychological distress scale for cancer patients was tested.Results After interven-tion,the psychological distress of the intervention group was (39.62 ±14.62)points,which was lower than (46.21 ± 13.68)points of the control group,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups(t =3.057,P =0.002).Conclusion The 6Emodel can reduce the level of psychological distress of colorectal cancer after per-manent intestinal stoma,and has positive effects on the early distress following stoma.The intervention can be one of the effective ways to implement psychological intervention for patients with stoma.

Objective To study the effects of knock down midkine(MK)by siRNA on chemosinsitivity in bladder cancer cells. Methods Three MK siRNAs were designed and constructed. After transfected with MK siRNA or scrambled siRNA for different time, cultured cells were harvested to carry on the next experiments. Expression of MK was determined by real-time RT-PCR and western blot, and apoptosis were evaluated by caspase-3 activity and TUNEL assay. MTT was performed to examine the inhibition effect of Paclitaxel (PTX) on cells. Results MK siRNA could down-regulate the MK expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The MTT results showed that the inhibit rates were (18.21±0.36)%, (18.19±0.29)%, (17.89±0.33)%, (1.86±0.52)%, (32.56±0.53) %, (53. 83±0.38) % and (78. 95±0.55) % in different groups PTX alone(0.2μmol/L), ConA +PTX(0.2 μmol/L), Con-B +PTX(0.2 μmol/L), siRNA alone(12. 50 nmol/L), siRNA(3. 125nmol/L) + PTX (0. 2 μmol/L), siRNA (6. 25 nmol/L) + PTX (0. 2 μmol/L) and siRNA (12. 50nmol/L)+PTX(0.2 μmol/L), respectively. The TUNEL results showed that apoptosis index was (1.81 ±0. 36)%, (1. 89±0. 38)%, (5. 56±0. 58)%, (9. 68±0.55)% and (15. 25±0.56)% in different groups (Con-A, Con-B, siRNA (3. 125 nmol/L), siRNA (6. 25 nmol/L) and siRNA ( 12. 5nmol/L), respectively. The activity of caspase-3 increased significantly in transefected cells with a dose-and time-dependent manner. Conclusion MK siRNA could sensitize human bladder cancer cells to chemotherapy which might be through the apotosis.

Objective Extrapolate the relationships between the width of circumferential rectal mucosa re-sected and the method of either performing single purse-string or performing double purse-string during per-forming the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH), and to assess the impact of both the level of sta-ple line and the width of rectal mucosa resected on clinical outcomes after stapled hemorrhoidpexy. Meth-ods Twenty-eight adult patients with Ⅲ-Ⅳ hemorrhoids were assigned to two groups: 15 patients using sin-gle pursestring and the remaining 13 patients using double purse-string. The mucosal width of doughtnuts of both groups were measured and the data recorded. The doughtnuts resected were sent to pathology examina-tion after stapled hemorrhoids pexy to identify whether or not the specimens involved the smoth muscles. The demographic complications (bleeding, postoperative pain, urinary retention, fecal urgency) were compared and statistically analysed between the two groups, respectively. Results There were no statistical differ-ences between the two groups in terms of postoperative short-term results and complication rates, as well as the proportion of involving smooth muscle in specimens(P >0.05). However, when compared the width of doughtnuts resected in single-pursestring group was smaller than that in double-parse-string group (P < 0. 01). Conclusion The single or double-purse-string suture in PPH can control the width of resected rectal mucosa.

Objective To investigate drug-resistance and the genotypes of extended-spectrum ? lactamases (ESBLs) producers in Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. Methods Standard agar dilution method, transconjugation test, isoelectric focusing, DNA sequencing were preformed in 52 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Results ESBLs producers were resistant to many antibiotics. DNA sequencing of amplicons of 52 strains revealed that ESBLs-encoded genes were CTX-M-14, 22,24 and SHV-2,12,respectively. Conclusions We should pay great attention to detect ESBLs producers and investigate their genotypes, so that we could prevent regional prevalence of ESBLs producers and utilize antibiotics reasonably.
