BACKGROUND:Recent investigations show that there are a small part of self-renewing and multi-potent cells named as tumor stem cells.Those cells share many characteristics with somatic and embryonic stem cells and are thought to be responsible for driving tumor progression in growing list of neoplastic diseases.Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)is an important angiogenesis factor,which can regulate endothelial proliferation,angiogenesis,permeability of blood vessel,and thrombogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the progress of cancer stem cells and tumor angiogenesis.METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PUMMED,CNKI,and Wanfang databases with the key words of "cancer stem cells,vascular endothelial growth factor,new vascularize" in both Chinese and English from January 2000 to October 2009.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among 153 articles,there were 13 in Chinese and 140 in English.Titles and abstracts were preliminarily screened,and articles which were non-relative(n=35),duplicated(n=30),and Meta analysis(n=57),were excluded.A total of 31 articles were included in the final analysis.Angiogenesis regulated by multiple factors was a necessary link for tumor growth and transferring.Stem cells promoted angiogenesis,thereby promoted tumor growth and transferring.However,the modified stem cells caused the opposite effects.On the other hand,the stem cells were considered as a substance vector to localize tumor focus,in particular,it will be potential for looking for subclinical focus and distal focus.

Objective To study the influence of Yin-nourishing Qi-tonifying and blood-activating recipe(养阴益气活血方) on anticoagulation and fabrinolysis of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC).Methods Yin-nourishing Qi-tonifying blood-activating recipe was composed of three equal proportions of Radix Rehmanniae(生地黄),Radix Astragali(黄芪) and Rhizoma Chuanxiong(川芎);blood-activating recipe(活血方)contains Rhizoma Chuanxiong only.Serology pharmacology method was used to observe the effects of Yin-nourishing Qi-tonifying and blood-activating recipe on anticoagulation and fabrinolysis of cultured endotheliocytes of human umbilical vein.Results Compared with control group,both Yin-nourishing Qi-tonifying blood-activating and blood-activating recipes could obviously increase the content of 6-keto-prostacyclin 1?(6-keto-PGF1?) in HUVEC((412.5?42.7)ng/L and(231.7?30.1)ng/L vs.(137.6?13.5)ng/L),promote the activity of tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA)((0.920?0.072)kU/L and(0.679?0.062)kU/L vs.(0.516?0.052)kU/L),and inhibit the activity of tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor(PAI)((0.622?0.071)kAU/L and(0.851?0.085)kAU/L vs.(0.934?0.076)kAU/L),decrease the content of endothelin(ET)((35.7?4.9)ng/L and(46.8?5.1)ng/L vs.(58.6?6.2)ng/L),and increase the content of nitrogen monoxide(NO)((21.68?2.26)mmol/L and(15.15?1.73)mmol/L vs.(8.67?1.24)mmol/L) of cultured HUVEC(P

A total of 210 female patients with overactive bladder (OAB) were divided into M receptor blockage (M,n =71),pelvic floor muscle stimulation physiotherapy (S,n =70) and combination (C,n =69) groups.After one course of treatment,the OAB symptom scores were compared to pretreatment values (P ＜ 0.05).After a second course,the overall response rate was 69％ in group S.Pelvic floor muscle stimulation physiotherapy provided excellent sustained outcomes.

Objective Molecular targeted drugs have anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor effects.The study was to investigate the role of sunitinib on treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma ( mRCC) and its long-term efficacy and adverse reactions. Methods From November 2007 to March 2013, 281 mRCC patients were divided into two groups according to their own willingness.102 patients in the experimental group received sunitinib 50 mg per day.Pain score, metastatic focuses before and after targeted therapies were compared.179 patients in control group was treated by immunotherapy.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to draw the survival curves and Cox regression model was applied in multivariate analysis. Results There was no difference between the two groups on baseline (P>0.05).In the experimental group, 78 cases were clear cell carcinoma, with remission rate 29.4%, stablity rate 53.8%and total effective rate 83.2%after treatment;15 cases were papillary renal cell carcinoma, with remission rate 33.3%, stablity ratio 46.7%and total effective rate 80.0% after treatment;9 cases were collecting duct carcinoma, with the remission rate 22.2%, the stablity ratio 55.6% and the total effective rate 77.8% after treatment.The bone scan after 1 cycle of treatment showed 2 cases progressed(10.5%), 5 cases relieved(26.3%) and 12 cases sta-blized(63.2%), the total effective rate of bone metastasis amounting to 89.5%, the effective rate of lung metastasis 81.7%, the effective rate of liver metastasis 60.0%and the effective rate of lymph node metastasis 72.8%.The median overall survival in the experimental group was 28.9 months, 20.7 months in control group(P<0.05).Cox regression analysis showed age, tumor classification, liver, lung, bone and lymph node metastasis were prognostic factors influencing mRCC.The common averse events were white blood cells, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and hypoalbuminemia. Conclusion Sunitinib for the treatment of mRCC can diminish the metastatic focuses , ease the pain , improve the quality of life, delay the progression of the disease, and prolong the overall survival.

Objective To compare elasticity imaging and conventional ultrasound when applied to the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.Methods Totally 124 breast tumor patients (140 lesions) from some hospital were analyzed retrospectively,who were divided into a control group and an observation group according to ultrasound examination ways.The control group involved in 60 patients with 66 lesions undergoing conventional ultrasound examination,and the observation group had 64 patients with 74 lesions undergoing elasticity imaging.Pathological findings were considered as gold standard,and the two groups were compared on accuracy,specificity and sensitivity.Results Pathological detection found the accuracy,specificity and sensitivity of the malignant tumor in the control group were 85.00％,84.78％ and 84.85％ respectively,and the ones of the malignant tumor in the observation group were 95.83％,96.00％ and 95.95％ respectively.The two groups had significant differences between the accuracies,specificities and sensitivities (P＜0.05).Conclusion Elasticity imaging describes the size,shape,number,margin and etc of the breast tumor,and thus can enhance the accuracy,specificity and sensitivity for diagnosing breast tumors.

OBJECTIVE： Four different one－ week triple therapeutic schemes to eradicate Helicobacter pylori were compared by pharmacoeconomic analysis to provide a scientific method for rational assignment of our limited medical fund.METHODS： According to literature reports,892 cases of duodenal ulcer and gastritis with Helicobacter pylori were selected.These patients were randomly divided into four groups which received different one－ week triple therapeutic schemes： OMC(Omeprazole＋ Metronidazole＋ Clarithromycin),OFC(Omeprazole＋ Furazolidone＋ Clarithromycin),OFA(Omeprazole＋ Furazolidone＋ Amoxicillin)and BFC(Colloidal bismuth subcitrate＋ Furazolidone＋ Clarithromycin).The schemes were evaluated with pharmacoeconomic cost－ effectiveness analysis.RESULTS： The cost－ effectiveness ratios of OMC,OFC,OFA,BFC for gastritis or duodenal ulcer were 16.19/17.33,17.30/13.93,11.40/10.56,11.17/10.75 respectively.They changed to 16.36/17.51,17.49/14.08,8.15/7.55,11.66/11.20 by sensitivity analysis.CONCLUSION： OFA is the most effective and inexpensive one to eradicate Hp.
