Objective To investigate the induction mechanism of MT ⅢmRNA in the brain after cerebral ischemia.Methods The forebrain ischemia reperfusion model was established in rats. The changes of the expression of MT Ⅲ mRNA in hippocampus after forebrain ischemia reperfusion were observed by in situ hybridization method. The changes of free Zn 2+ in hippocampus after forebrain ischemia reperfusion was examined using Zn 2+ specific fluorescent probe(TSQ). The Zn 2+ chelator (CaEDTA) was injected into the lateral ventricles for determining influences of Zn 2+ on the MT Ⅲ mRNA expression and the neuronal damage after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion.Results (1) The expression of MT ⅢmRNA in hippocampus increased gradually after cerebral ischemia and reached the peak in 96 hours after reperfusion. Seven days after reperfusion the expression of MT ⅢmRNA reduced to the normal level. (2) Zn 2+ fluorescence in the hilus of dentate gyrus, CA 3 region and the stratum radiatum and stratum oriens of CA 1 decreased slightly at 48 hours after reperfusion. From 72 to 96 hours after reperfusion, the fluorescence returned to normal, but some new fluorescence dots appeared in pyramidal neurons of CA 1 and the hilus of dentate gyrus increased gradually. Seven days after reperfusion, the fluorescence returned to normal. (3) The cell membrane impermeable Zn 2+ chelator could reduce the intracellular concentration of free Zn 2+ and the expression of MT Ⅲ mRNA.Conclusion The expression of MT Ⅲ mRNA can be induced by the increase in the concentration of intracellular free Zn 2+ after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion.

Objective　To investigate the clinical significan ce of pelvic lymphadenectomy in advanced ovarian carcinoma. Methods　A total of 86 cases of advanced ovarian cancer with surgical treatment were assigned to 3 groups according to the size of residual focus and the performanc e of pelvic lymphadenectomy. Group A consisted of 42 cases with pelvic lymphaden ectomy and the diameter of residual focus smaller than 2 cm; Group B, 26 cases, underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy but with the residual focus larger than 2 cm; Group C con sisted of 18 cases without pelvic lymphadenectomy and the diameter of residual f ocus larger than 2 cm. All patients received CAP chemotherapy for 6 to 8 course of treatment and were in similar clinical stages and pathological grading. Results　The 5 year survival rate was 30.1% (13/42) in Group A, and 11.5% (3/26) in Group B with significant difference (P<0.05). Group C's 5 year survival rate was 11.1%(2/18). No significant difference was found betwee n Group B and C. Conclusion　Application of pelvic lymphadenecto my on those with residual focus less than 2 cm can apparently improve the patien ts' survival rate. But when the diameter of the focus is larger than 2 cm, pelvi c lymphadenectomy is not necessary.

Objective To explore the therapeutic strategy for intracranial ischemia due to extraand intracranial artery stenosis using endovascular stent angioplasty.Methods Totally 109 patients with extra-and/or intracranial artery stenosis were treated by endovascular stent in our hospital from March 2008 to September 2011.There were 93 cases with single stenostic lesion,16 cases with multiple stenosis and 5 cases with distal unruptured aneurysm.All patients received endovascular stentings and 94 cases were followed up for 3 20 months.Results All of the patients underwent endovascular stenting placement successfully.The average stenosises were(79.2 ± 13.4)％ before operation and(18.1 ± 9.20)％ after operation.During follow-up for(10.8 ± 4.2)months,mild restenosis occurred in 9 stenosises(7.0％)among 129 lesions and no serious stroke event was found.Conclusions Endovascular stent is safe and effective in treating extra and intracranial stenosis.It is important to investigate adequately cerebral blood flow in the multiple stenosis or in complicating other kind of vascular diseases before proper treatments.

The macroporous resin separation technology has been mainly applied in the enrichment of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and other ingredients, and used in the removal of heavy metal impurities and pesticide residues in recent years. This paper focuses on the synthesis of the new-type macroporous adsorption resin LKS-11 according to the molecular structure characteristics of procymidone. Specifically, the selective absorptive property and other advantages of macroporous resin were utilized to analyze the procymidone removal efficiency in ginseng extracts from different sources. The type of macroporous resins, absorptive property and desorption conditions were observed respectively by static and dynamic adsorption methods to determined the optimum process conditions. According to the results, LKS-11 showed a good absorptive property to procymidone in ginseng extracts and provided a theoretical basis for studies on the removal of procymidone residues from ginseng extracts by using macroporous adsorption resin. Because of no secondary pollution on samples, low production and operation costs, high procymidone removal efficiency and high product recovery rate, this method is suitable to be applied in production.

Objective To explore associations between SG13S114A/T and SG13S32A/C polymorphisms of ALOX5AP gene and the genetic susceptibility of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases (ICVD) in Henan Han population.Methods Two hundred and forty-six ICVD patients and 245 healthy controls were recruited from Han population in Henan province. Polymorphisms of SG13S114A/T and SG13S32A/C in ALOX5AP gene were genotyped in these samples by SnaPshot minisequencing method.Each genotype frequency and allele frequency were statistically analyzed and compared between ICVD group and control group using SPSS16.0 software.Haplotype and linkage disequilibrium were analyzed by SHEsis software.Results The SG13S114 AA genotype frequency ( 18.7％ ) and A allele frequency (41.3％) in ICVD group were significantly higher than those in control group (9.0％ and 32.7％,respectively; P =0.002 and P =0.005 ).It was also found that in male ICVD group and in younger ICVD group ( ＜50 years old),the SG13S114 AA genotype frequencies (22.1％ and 22.0％,respectively) and A allele frequencies (42.1％ and 42.7％,respectively) were significantly higher than those in male control group and younger control group (SG13S114 AA genotype:9.0％ and 8.9％ ; P =0.010 and P =0.006,respectively) ;A allele frequencies,34.0％ and 32.0％ ; P =0.048 and P =0.020,respectively.Finally,the prevalence of A-A haplotype in ICVD group was significantly higher than that in control group(30.4％ vs 23.5％,OR =1.419,95％ CI 1.068-1.885,P =0.015).T-C haplotype frequency of ICVD group was significantly lower than that in control group (22.0％ vs 28.8％,OR =0.698,95％ CI 0.523-0.932,P =0.014 ).Conclusions The A allele in SG13S114 loci of ALOX5AP may be a genetic risk factor for ICVD in Han population in Henan province.The association is predominant in ICVD patients of male and younger than 50 years old.Maybe A-A haplotype increases the risk of ICVD and T-C haplotype and has a protective effect against ICVD in Henan Han population.
