Background and purpose: It has been reported that some low dose chemotherapy drugs have antiangiogenetic effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of inhibiting angiogenesis by low dose hydroxycamptothecin on H22 hepatoma transplantation tumor mouse models. Methods: H22 transplantation tumor mouse models were established, CTX was administrated in abdominal cavities as positive control group. 0.9%NaC1 solution was administrated as negative control group. Intra abdominal cyclophosphamide and hydroxycamptothecin (0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg) were injected for 10 days continuously. The growth of tumor were observed and measured. The tumor inhibitory rates were tested in animal tumor model with experimental treatment. The expression of VEGF and CD34 were measured by means of immunohistochemistry. Results: Hydroxycamptothecin had effect on tumor growth. Tumor weight inhibitory rates of hydroxycamptothecin with 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg were 23.53% and 43.25% respectively. The difference was significant when compared with the negative control group (P<0.05). The expression of VEGF and MVD can be suppressed significantly than negative control group in vivo (P<0.05). Conclusion:Hydroxycamptothecin have inhibitory effect on tumor growth and the expression of VEGF and MVD with H22 hepatoma transplantation tumor mouse models in low dose. The mechanism possibly involved inhibiting the angiogenesis.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) from different donors as first-line treatment for children and adolescents with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) .
Methods:
The clinical data of 79 children and adolescents with SAA diagnosed from January 2013 to December 2016 in Henan Province were retrospectively analyzed. There were 50 males and 29 females, with a median age of 14(4-18) years. 40 cases received matched sibling transplantation (MSD-HSCT), 17 with unrelated donor transplantation (UD-HSCT), and 22 with haploidentical transplantation (haplo-HSCT).
Results:
The comparison of MSD-HSCT, UD-HSCT, haplo-HSCT groups was conducted and the median times of neutrophils engraftment were statistically significant [12(9-25) d, 14(10-22) d, 16(11-26) d, respectively (

Patients with severe or critical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at high risk of death primarily due to respiratory failure caused by the cytokine storm in pulmonary tissues. The treatment response of these patients remains limited. Recently, low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) has been clinically adopted to treat severe or critical COVID-19 patients in multiple medical centers abroad, indicating high feasibility and effectiveness. However, the mechanism and optimal radiation dose are still incompletely clear. This paper reviews the radiobiological mechanism, effectiveness, adverse reactions, and radiotherapy dose of LDRT in the treatment of severe or critical COVID-19 patients, aiming to better understand the clinical benefits and adverse reactions of LDRT.

Objective :To analyze correlation among fasting (FBL) and postprandial blood lipids (PBL) ,blood lipid fluctuation (absolute value of PBL‐FBL) and severity of coronary artery disease .Methods :Cross‐sectional study was performed among 264 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital .According to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or not based on CAG results ,patients were divided into plaque group (n=128) and PCI group (n=136).Gensini score was used to assess severity of coronary artery disease .Blood lipid levels and its fluctu‐ation were compared between two groups .Correlation among blood lipid levels ,blood lipid fluctuation and severity of coronary artery disease were analyzed .Results :Compared with plaque group ,there were significant rise in per‐centages of men and smokers ,waist circumference ,levels of postprandial‐fasting (P‐F ) serum LDL‐C (ΔLDL‐C ) and P‐F plasma apolipoprotein B (ΔApoB ) , and significant reduction in plasma level of P‐F apolipoprotein A1 (ΔApoA1) in PCI group , P<0. 05 or < 0. 01. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that serum fasting and post‐prandial HDL‐C levels ,plasma fasting and postprandial levels of ApoA1 and ΔApoA1 were significant inversely cor‐related with Gensini score ( r= -0. 130~ -0.218 , P<0. 05 or <0. 01) ,and levels of plasma fasting lipoprotein a (Lp (a)) ,serum fasting and postprandial levels of free fatty acid (FFA) ,serum P‐F FFA (Δ FFA) were significant positively correlated with Gensini score ( r=0. 139-0. 176 , P<0.05 or <0.01).Multifactor linear regression anal‐ysis indicated that postprandial serum HDL‐C was protective factor for Gensini score (B= -22.274 , P=0.002 ) , while postprandial serum FFA ,Δ FFA ,waist circumference and hyperlipidemia history were its influencing factors (B=0. 388~24. 135 , P<0. 05 or <0.01).Conclusion :Measurements of fasting and postprandial blood lipid levels and their fluctuation contribute to more comprehensively and objectively assessing blood lipid levels and severity of coronary disease in patients with coronary artery disease .

Objective:To observe the effect of Taohong Siwu granule on dysmenorrhea rats. Method:Forty-eight healthy SD female rats were randomly divided into six groups: control group, model group, Taohong Siwu granule groups (18, 9, 4.5 g·kg-1) and Fuke Qianjin tablet group (0.08 g·kg-1). The rats were given Bugaorer (0.35 mg·kg-1) every day and ice-water bath for 8 minutes for 10 consecutive days. Oxytocin was injected intraperitoneally on the 11th day. The writhing reaction of rats was observed, and the effect of Taohong Siwu granules on hemorheology was measured. The levels of 6-ketoprostacyclin F1
