0.05).Immunohistochemical staining for intratumoral aromatase in endometrial cancer was positive,21(42 %)in stromal cells.The expression of P450 aromatase in stromal cells correlated positively with advanced surgical stage and histologic grade,indepedent on muscular invasion and lymph node metastasis.Conclusion Aromatase P450 play an important function in establishment and devel- opment of the endometrioid endometrial cancer.The expression of P450 aromatase in intratumoral stromal cells correlated positively with the development and prognosis of endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Background and purpose:P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38MAPK) signal transduction pathway is involved in occurrence, development and transfer process in a wide variety of tumors. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. This study aimed to explore the clinical signiifcance of the P38MAPK signaling pathway and the expression of uPA in ovarian cancer.Methods:The expressions of uPA, P38MAPK, ERK and AKT were detected in 49 cases of cervical adenocarcinoma by immunohistochemistry. The expressions of uPA and P38MAPK were detected by Western blot in ovarian cancer cell lines HO8910, HO-8910PM, SKOV3 and CAOV3. The changes of uPA and P38MAPK were detected by SB203580, a speciifc inhibitor of P38MAPK signal transduction pathway.Results:The result of immunohistochemical method showed that positive expression rates for uPA, P38MAPK, ERK and AKT were 61.22%, 57.14%, 53.06% and 55.10%, respectively. The expression of the uPA was positively correlated with the P38MAPK (r=0.865,P=0.001), and related with clinicopathologic stage, differentiated degree, lymph node metastasis, but not related with age and histologic type (P>0.05). The expressions of AKT and ERK were related with the lymph node metastasis and greater omentum metastasis(P<0.05), but not related with age and histologic type (P>0.05). The expression of uPA in HO-8910PM was higher than that in ovarian cancer cell lines HO8910, SKOV3 and CAOV3, and the expression of uPA reduced when the P38MAPK signal transduction pathway was cut off by the SB203580. The expressions of P38MAPK and uPA were negatively correlated with the prognosis of ovarian cancer (Log-rank=3.897 and 11.044,P=0.048 and 0.001). Conclusion:The P38MAPK signal transduction pathway was activated in ovarian cancer. The activated P38MAPK signal transduction pathway can raise the expression of uPA, which may contribute to the development of ovarian cancer. The result indicates that the P38MAPK signal transduction pathway and uPA might play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer. P38MAPK and uPA might be useful markers for evaluating prognosis of ovarian cancer.

Objective To analyze the outcome of idarubicin-intensified myeloablastive conditioning regimen in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Methods From August 2004 to July 2009, 12 patients with MDS were treated with alIo-PBSCT following the idarubicin-intensified conditioning regimen. The conditioning regimen was idarubicin (15 mg/m~2), continuous intravenous infusion for 20 h, days-12 to-10; busulfan (0.8 mg/kg), intravenous infusion every 6 h, days-6 to-4; cyclophosphamide (1.8 g/m~2), intravenous infusion every 6 h, days-3 to-2; cyclosporine A combined with short-term methotrexate was used for the prophylaxes of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). Results All twelve patients achieved Trilineage engraftment, and were well tolerated to this regimen. Eight patients survived, and the overall survival was 66.7%, disease-free survival (DFS) 58.3%. Two patients relapsed. OS for neither WHO subgroups nor IPSS subgroups had statistically significant difference. Conclusion Allo-PBSCT with idarubicin-inteusified conditioning regimen is an effective treatment with reduction of the relapse rate for MDS patients.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of combination of intensive preconditioning regimen allo-HSCT with imatinib for treatment of Ph chromosome positive acute lymphocyte leukemia (ALL). Methods Between 2009 and 2010, 8 patients diagnosed as Ph+ ALL received allo-HSCT from HLA identical sibling during complete remission. Imatinib was added into the therapies of 5 patients.Seven patients received the intensive preconditioning regimen based on BuCy2, one patient received the regimen of TBI-Cy. A median of 6. 02 × 108/kg mononuclear cells and 3. 14 × 106/kg CD34+ cells were transfused. GVHD prophylaxis included cyclosporine A and methotrexate. Results All patients were well tolerant to the regimen without serious regimen-related toxicity. The median time of ANC≥0. 5 × 109/L was 15. 5 days, and that of PLT≥20 × 109/L was 19 days. Thirty days after allo-HSCT, all patients got donor engraftment successfully. Among 8 cases, 4 cases presented acute GVHD, 2 developed degree Ⅰ , one developed degree Ⅱ , and one developed degree Ⅳ. Seven patients were alive 100 days after allo-HSCT, 3 of whom presented chronic GVHD. At the end of following-up period, 6 patients were alive, among them, 3 patients were alive without relapse; 3 patients relapsed; Two patients died, one from acute GVHD, and one from leukemia relapse. Conclusion Combined intensive preconditioning regimen allo-HSCT with Imatinib was an effective treatment for Ph+ ALL, but the effect of anti-chronic GVHD of imatinib should arouse certain attention.

Objective To retrospectively analyze and compare the curative outcome of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from HLA identical siblings vs intensive immunosuppression therapy (IST) for severe aplastic anemia (SAA).Methods From January 2008 to December 2010,41 patients with severe aplastic anemia were treated with related HSCT (n =14) or IST (n =27) which combined antithymocyte globulin (ATG) with cyclosporine-A (CsA) therapy.Results All the patients receiving HSCT reached complete response.Among the patients receiving IST,21 patients could be responsive to the therapy,and 2 patients died.There was significant difference in the response rate between HSCT group and IST group (100 ％ vs 77.8 ％,P＜0.01 ).Conclusion With the improvement of HSCT technology,the curative outcome of HSCT from HLA identical siblings for SAA is much better than IST.

Objective To study the clinical application of adaptive support ventilation (ASV) on non-COPD patients of long-term ventilation. Methods 12 elderly non-COPD patients of long-term ventilation were selected in elderly wards in our hospital from Jan. 2005 to Mar. 2006. Two modes in which minute volume (MV, volume per minute) was consistent were applied: ASV and PS-SIMV. In all modes for each used, until the patients came into a stable respiration for 30 min, the variables of respiratory mechanics were recorded, meanwhile the variables of hemodynamics and arterial blood analysis were measured. In addition, the gases in blood was analyzed by drawing blood from artery. A psychological nursing was well given before the use of ASV mode, and it needs to keep airway free and take the following nursing of humidification and sucking sputum. Results Compared with PS-S1MV, the variables of respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics and arterial blood analysis had no a statistically significant change in ASV for 12 non-COPD patients (P >0. 05). But, when using ASV, the patients felt more comfortable. Conclusions ASV mode can reduce the force exerted by patients when rospirating, have a good compatibility between man and manchine, and show a high safety. The psychological nursing and the nursing key mesrsures and the experiences may be extended and used in clinical applications.

Objective To study the relationship of clinical manifestation and pathological changes and prognosis in Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN)in children.Methods Clinical and pathological characteristics of 42 children with HSPN were analysed.Among them,40 children were detected of angiotensin-convertion enzyme(ACE)gene and had been followed up.Results Among them,there were 9 cases of level Ⅰof pathological types,21 cases of level Ⅱ,12 cases of level Ⅲ,but no cases of level Ⅳ.Ⅰand Ⅱ level were found in those cases of clinical manifestation with solitary hematuria and albuminuria.Pathological grades were Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ levels in the cases of hematuria and albuminuria.Pathological types of nephrotic syndrome(NS)were Ⅱ and Ⅲ level,which were of more gross hematuria than those of other grades.ACE gene DD had serious pathological damnification.Conclusions Change of pathology cannot only be anticipated by clinical manifestation of HSPN.But if pathological damnification gets more serious,the albuminuria gets more serious.Gross hematuria and albuminuria can serve as indicators of biopsy.NS of ACE DD type have serious pathological damnification.Children with HSPN has favourable prognosis in the future.

Objective To evaluate the intestinal absorption of main components (paeoniflorin,ferulic acid,narirutin,naringin,neohesperidin,and glycyrrhizic acid) in aqueous extract of Chaihu Shugan San (CSS).Methods UPLC method was established to simultaneously determine the concentrations of the six components in the test samples of everted gut sacs and in situ single pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) models.Absorption kinetics parameters were calculated for describing their absorption characteristics.Results In SPIP model,the results indicated that ferulic acid was the well-absorbed ingredient in whole small intestine,while other ingredients presented moderate or poor absorption.In everted gut sacs model,paeoniflorin in jejunum,ferulic acid,naringin,and neohesperidin in duodenum,narirutin in duodenum and jejunum,had the best absorption,while there was no significant difference in absorption of glycyrrhizic acid in the intestine.Condusion In vivo model indicated that the main constituents in CSS could be absorbed in intestinal wall of rat,ferulic acid could be much more easily penetrated intestinal wall into the blood circulation than the other five components.Ex vivo model could further articulate that six index components could be absorbed selectively in different intestinal segments.
