Objective To observe the morphologic change in rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin through antisense-human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(hTIMP-1)transfection.Methods Thirty rats were divided into five groups randomly(six rats in each group),namely,hTIMP-1 transfection group,anti-sense hTIMP-1 transfection group,empty retroviral vectors transfection group,pulmonary fibrosis group,and the normal group.On the 1st,3rd,7th,14th,28th,60th,90th day of BLM administration to the hTIMP-1,anti-sense hTIMP-1 and retroviral vectors transfection group,the hTIMP-1 cDNA retroviral vectors containing sense and anti-sense ones and the empty vectors were conducted into the lungs of rats with pulmonary fibrosis,which were sacrificed on the 28th days.The pulmonary fibrosis group was given just BLM for the same period of time.The rats in the normal control groups were sacrificed on the same day.Observe the role of anti-sense hTIMP-1 transfection and the change of hydroxyproline.Results The degree of fibrosis and content of HYP were extenuated by antisense hTIMP-1 transfection on 1st and 3rd day after BLM exposure compared with the same time of fibrosis and transfection by empty retroviral vectors group,morphologically.Conclusion Transfection with antisense-TIMP-1 on the first and third day can suppress the process of pulmonary fibrosis induced by BLM to some extent.

Objective To evaluate RR,DCR,PFS,OS and toxicities in a population affected by NSCLC using gefitinib as maintenance therapy after the first line chemotherapy.Methods From January,2006 to January,2008,seventy-one patients were enrolled with stable disease or partial response after firstline chemotherapy.They were divided into the observing group and the control group.Gefitinib was administered at the dose of 250 mg in observing group;placebo was also administered everyday in control group.Results Of 71 assessable patients ,overall response rate was 36.1% (13/36) in observing group and 14.3 % (5/35) in control group respectively (x 2 = 4.633,P = 0.036),and one patient (2.8 %) was observed complete response (CR) in observing group.The disease control rate was 83.3 % (30/36) in observing group and 42.9 % (15/35) in control group,respectively,(x2 = 14.782,P ＜ 0.001).The median PFS (progression free survival time) was 13 weeks in observing group and 11 weeks in control group respectively (x2 = 10.401,P =0.001).The median overall survival time (OS) was 13.2 months in observing group and 10.4 months in control group respectively (x2 = 7.696,P= 0.006).The median OS was 18.5 months in women and 11.2 months in men(x2 =22.864,P=0.011) .The median OS was 15.3 months in non-smokers and 10.3 months in smokers (x2 =10.389,P =0.007).The median OS was 16.0 months in adenocarcinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma patients and 10.2 months in squamous cell carcinoma patients (x 2 = 4.638,P = 0.001).The most common toxicity was rash ,diarrhea,fatigue and dry skin itching,and most of them were 1 or 2 grade.Conclusion Maintenance therapy with gefitinib after first-line chemotherapy may improve overall survival time and progression free survival time in patients with NSCLC,and it is effective and safe.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of chemotherapy on growth development and endocrine function of long-survived children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods30 ALL patients who were received standard chemotherapy and survived more than five years were enrolled in this study. Their growth and development data and endocrine function examination were investigated. ResultsThrough testing,except two cases of height more than two standard deviation above,the others were all within the normal range; BMI exceeded bid in 1, and the rest were in the normal range;The results of sex hormones examination were consistent with age and Tanner installment, the girls appeared secondary sex characteristics in 9 years old or so,menstruation in 13 years old. Boys appeared sec-ondary sex characteristics around 10 years old;Cortisol and promote adrenal cortical hormone with 2 cases of obese children were in the normal range,but c-peptide and insulin were elevatory;The results of IGF-1 were in the normal range. ConclusionChemotherapy had no significant effect on growth development and endocrine function for patients with ALL.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and the gene mutation of patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type3 and type7.Methods The trinucleotide repeat mutations were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),agarose gel electrophoresis method,and DNA sequencing in 13 patients,4 related members and 4 common members from 3 spinocerebellar ataxia families.Results Among the 13 patients,four patients had SCA3/MJD(CAG) n expansion mutation(n = 65 ～ 74),nine patients had SCA7 allele expansion for 40 ～ 52 times.Patients with type 3 or 7 showed significant difference in nervous system injury.Conclusion The difference of clinical feature might be used in diagnosis of SCA3/MJD and SCA7,but genotype determination would be the only method of definite diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of telomerase in the diagnosis of lung cancerusing SROC curve method.Methods Looking“telomerase”and“lung cancer”as keywords,retrieving journalspublished within past 20 years in order to incorporate into literatures and to collect data .To conduct the SROC analysisusing Meta -DiSc 1.4 software.Results 1.Twenty -two documents were sampled as tissue specimensand the heterogeneity was relatively large (P =0.017).To analyze the data with random effective models ,thecombined sensitivity and specificity were 0.788(0.761 -0.814)and 0.955(0.936 -0.969),respectively.TheSROC AUC area under the curve was 0.9515,SE(AUC) =0.0145.2.There was no heterogeneity(P =0.633)amongthe 10 lavaged literatures.By use of fixed effects model for data analysis ,the combined sensitivity and specificitywere 0.777(0.734 -0.816) and 0.922(0.888 -0.948),and SROC AUC area under the curve was0.9369,SE(AUC) =0.0141.Conclusion Telomerase is a ideal tumor marker,and the detection of telomeraseactivity in lavage fluid is stable and accurate in clinical diagnosis .

Objective To investigate the changes and significance of Th1/Th2 cytokines in ankylosing spondyhtis (AS).Metbotis Serum and synovial fluid levels of TNF-α,IL.17.IL-10 and IL-4 were detected by en-zyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in AS cases.Results The serun levels of TNF-α,IL-17 and IL-10 were significantly higher,while the serum level of IL-4 Was significantly lower in AS group than in normal group.The levels of TNF-α.IL-17 and IL-4 in synovial fluid were significantly higher than in serum.Conclusion Disequilibrium exists in Th1/Th2 cytokine network of AS.and there is a strong predominance of Th1.

ObjectiveTo study the modes of case finding and diagnosis for inpatients of active pulmonary tuberculosis with primary treatment.MethodsData of 1000 inpatients with active pulmonary tuberculosis input into a computer were analyzed retrospectively.including clinical symptoms,signs and relevant laboratory examinations.to evaluate their diagnostic value.ResultsAmong 1000 active tuberculosis case8 hospitalized with symptoms and signs,95.9 percent suffered by cough,77.7 percent by expectoration and 50.8 percent (n=508) by fever,and 51.5 percent (n=777) with strong positive purified protein defivative (PPD) skin test,61.5 percent with positive serum anti-tuberculosis antibody,48.8 percent with positive acid-fast staining on sputum smear and 57.9 percent with positive sputum bacteriologle culture.And,49.4 percent of the patients were diagnosed by laboratory positive sputum,and 50.6 percent of those with negative sputum were diagnosed by comprehensively clinical considerations,ineluding 51.6 percent positive PPD skin teat, or positive serum anti-tubereulosis antibody,but 48.4 percent of them were all negative in varied laboratory examinations.ConclusionsHospital visit due to symptom is the main method for tuberculosis finding in our country.All those with Cough for two or more weeks should be screened by routine examinations for excluding tuberculosis.Case finding rate Was low by sputum examinations.so comprehensive diagnosis is still important for those tuberculosis patients with negative sputum.
