Objective To evaluate the efficacy of video-assisted mini-thoracoscopy(VAMT) for radical resection of lung cancer.Methods From April 2002 to December 2008,radical resection of lung cancer was performed on 39 patients by VMAT in our hospital.A 1.5-cm and a 7-to 10-cm incision were made during the operation.Both standard surgical instruments and thoracoscopic set were used to treat the pulmonary vessels,perform lobectomy,and remove the lymph nodes in the mediastinum and pulmonary portal.Results The operation was completed in all of the cases.No peri-operative death occurred.The patients received chest drainage for 4 to 7 days after the operation(mean,4.5 days).Post-operative pathological examination showed primary non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) in 37 cases,metastatic cancer in 1,and carcinoid in 1.In the 37 patients with NSCLC,9 were stage Ⅰa,13 were Ⅰb,5 were Ⅱa,7 were Ⅱb,2 were Ⅲa,and 1 was Ⅲb.Follow-up was available in 35 patients for up to 2 to 12 months in 4,13 to 24 months in 15,25 to 36 months in 8,37 to 48 months in 6,and 49 to 60 months in 2 cases.Among the 35 cases,totally 4 patients died of tumor recurrence or metastasis,1 patient survived with tumor,and the other 30 survived without tumor.The 1-and 3-year survival rate of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ were 100%(21/21) and 91%(10/11) respectively.All of the 3 stage Ⅲ patients died of recurrence or metastasis in 19,11,and 14 months respectively after the surgery.Conclusions VAMT is effective for radical resection of lung cancer in a short term.Combination of traditional procedure and VAMT is safe and reliable for the disease.

The frequency of peripheral lymphocyte subsets using monoclonal was studied in patients with viral myocarditis (MC). The percentage of T_8 positive cells was significantly lower in patients with MC of heart failure(MCHF) than that in patients with MC of arrhythmias and that in normal controls, whereas the T_4/T_8 ratio was significantly inereased in MCHF patients. At the same time, suppressive T cells (Ts) function in patients with MC was evaluated by shortlived assay. The Ts function was significantly reduced in MCHF patients, close correlation was found between the Ts function and the hemodynamic function in MCHF patients. Abnormal immunoreguiation may be of the important pathogenic factor in MCHF patients.

Objective To study on the measurement of glycyl-proline dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (GPDA) in urine and its clinical application. Methods GPDA in urine was measured by continuously monitoring method using substrate. The assay conditions and interference factors were investigated. GPDA activities in urine specimens from 334 healthy persons, 55 diabetes mellitus patients and 36 hypertension patients were measured. The differences between the kidney injured and non-kidney injured groups were analyzed. Results The linearity of the method was up to 350 U/L. The intra CV and inter CV were 1.27% and 1.33% respectively. The GPDA activity in urine specimen was stable for 7 days at 4℃. There was no interference of bilirubin, glucose, vitamins, dimethylbiguanide and gliben-clamide. No significant interference was found by hemoglobin less than 500 mg/L. GPDA level in urine specimens of 334 healthy persons were (12.9?4.2) U/g?Cr. The GPDA levels of diabetes mellitus and hypertension groups combined with kidney injured were obviously higher than that of the control group and the non-kidney injured group ( P

With light and electron microscope, we studied the morphology of the thymus of the neonatal mouse. The results showed: 1.the lobules of the thymus had not well developed and there was no distinct demarcation between the cortex and medulla; 2.a cyst composed of epithelial cells with microvilli or cilia might be frequently seen in the medulla; 3.occasionally small lymphocytes with some glycogen particles in their cytoplasm were observed; 4.only a few small-sized thymic corpusles existed in the medulla, The article also described the ultrastructure of the lymphocytes, epithelial reticular cells, macrophage, interdigitating cell and blood-thymus barrier in the thymus of the neonatal mouse.

Standard bacteria sprayed in the p urified chamber was irradiated by using an 100 μw*cm-2*s-1ultrav iolet lamp under different c onditions. Results　The disinfection efficacy showed correlation with tempe rature, humidity, intensity, way of radiation, electric fan running or not and different microorganisms, among which temperature showed the strongest effect on killing rate. Under the same condition, the efficacy of ultraviolet l amp in killing staphylococcus albus is superior to that in killing escheri chia coli, and the efficacy of killing the spore of bacillus subtilis is the l owest. Conclusions　The way of air disinfection by a high intensity and low ozone ultraviolet lamp irradiation is reliable, safe, practical and feasi ble.

Factor Xa is a trypsin-like serine protease playing a pivotal role in the blood coagulation cascade.Factor Xa and its inhibitors are of great importance in the development of orally active antithrombotic agents and have aroused considerable attention from the pharmaceutical industry sector over the years.In this review,the structural characteristics of the factor Xa binding site are discussed and the X-ray information available together with the published structure-activity relationship data is used to identify the molecular interactions that are most important for tight enzyme-inhibitor binding,which would be useful in the structure-based drug design of novel factor Xa inhibitors.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1)is a nonselective cationic channel,and can be activt-ed by capsaicin,protons and heat.TRPV1 plays a critical role in the initiation of neural inflammatory response and the pathway of pain signal transduction.As a new analgesics,TRPV1 antagonists block pain behaviors in models of inflammatory,neuropathic,and cancer pain.A number of pharmaceutical companies developed a range of TRPV1 antagonists with various structures.It was found that various chemotypes of TRPV1 antagonists would cause an increase in body temperature(hyperthermia),which may become concerns for their development.This article summarizes the recent progress in TRPV1 antagonists development and the relevant hyperthermia.

Objective To compare the efficacy of sequential therapy combined with probiotics,pure sequen-tial therapy and standard triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication.Methods Selected the clinical data of 240 patients admitted.The 240 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups.Group A received standard triple thera-py,group B received sequential therapy and Group C received sequential therapy in combination with probiotics. Then,we compared the eradication rate,the score of gastrointestinal tract symptoms before and after treatment,and the side effects among 3 groups.Results The eradication rate was 72.5% in groupA,87.5% in group B,and 96.3% in group C.The eradication rate of group C was significantly better than group A and group B (χ2 =18.531,P <0.001).There was no difference in the score of gastrointestinal tract symptoms before treatment(F =0.206,P >0.05),but they all significantly decreased after treatment among 3 groups(P <0.05),with group C a better result(F =25.581,P <0.05).The side effects of 3 groups were 16.3%,13.8%,3.8%,respectively.There were a significantly differencec between group C and the other 2 groups(χ2 =7.011,P =0.030).Conclusion Sequential therapy in combination with probiotics can achieve a higher eradication rate,improve the score of gastrointestinal tract symptoms, and decrease side effects.
