To construct a repetitive, objective and consecutive system for evaluating the angiogenesis of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in vivo, a sterile polyvinyl alcohol sponge disc was implanted into the subcutaneous part of rat and five days later pCMV 4 VEGF 165 expressed plasmid and empty vector pCMV 4 were injected into the sponge, respectively. 7 and 11 days after injection, the tissue ingrowth in the implants and expression of VEGF gene in the serum, the tissues in the sponge and the liver were measured by RT polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) .The pathological section of sponge was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunohistochemistry of Ⅷ factor specific for vascular endothelial cells. The tissue ingrowth in the implants was analysed by image analysis system and statistical analysis was done with Stata Software. The results indicated that the expression of VEGF gene was located at the injection site and promoted the tissue ingrowth in the implants. In brief, the angiogenesis of VEGF was successfully observed using the sponge implant model, which provides lays the theoretical foundation for local gene therapy of ischemic diseases.

Objective To explore the clinical and laboratory feature of disseminated Penicillium marneffei(PSM) infection in patients with AIDS and to analysis treatment and prognosis. Methods Study clinical data of eight case with PSM infection in patients with AIDS in our hospital from 1999 were definite diagnosed PSM infection in patients with AIDS. Results (1)Eight patients including five females, at a mean age of 26~53, suffered from the diseases for a period of 1~4 months;(2)The most common clinical presentations include fever, stomatomycosis, lymphadenectasis papular skin lesion, anemia, abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, Plenomegaly, Herpes progenitalis, Subcutaneous nodule, Pleural effusion, bad bone ache. Laboratory examination showed elevated hepatic enzymes,coagulated dysfunction,hemocytopenia. Chest X-ray showed nonspecific include bilateval interstitial or alveolar. (3) Fungus cultured: yeast like cells were found in the culture at 37℃ or in tissues. The fungi outside the host cells were elongated, often curved, Sausage like and with clear cemral septate. When cultured at 25℃,the fungus was mycelia-like and produced a characteristic red Pigment, diffusing into the medium. (4) CD4 cell count was reduced significantly, HIV-RNA was high.(5)Mortality was high. Conclusions Definite diagnosis of disseminated Penicillium marneffei requires culture of the pathogenic fungus from clinical specimens. No specific clinical manifestation for Penicillum marneffei infection was found and Amphotericin B are effective in treating penicillosis marmeffei.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a common malignant solid tumor that occurs during childhood;it has a significant heterogene-ity in clinical symptoms and outcome. NB diagnosis is complicated, and various clinical techniques are often involved in examining im-agery, cellular morphology, immunohistochemical staining, gene and molecule biology, and operation excision scope. Diagnoses are graded based on danger extent, which is indicated by clinical stages and unfavorable prognosis factors. These characteristics are the ba-sis for formulating the corresponding synthetic treatment plan. Limited studies are available on treatment norms for adult cases of NB;such cases are currently diagnosed and treated in accordance with child NB diagnosis and treatment norms. An adult patient diagnosed with NB stage 4 is presented. This patient experienced obvious relief from the symptoms after whole body chemotherapy, with further surgery operation indications. This successful case of multi-disciplinary joint diagnosis and cooperative treatment may provide potential treatment techniques for similar patients.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Tai chi on quality of life of breast cancer patients. Methods Articles from 10 English and Chinese Databases from inception to March 2012 were recalled. 2 researchers independently screened titles and abstracts for eligible trials, methodological quality was assessed according to risk of bias items. Meta-analysis would be used if data available. Results 4 randomized trials with 169 participants were included. All trials had high risk of bias. 2 studies demonstrated significant improvement in Tai chi group for improving shoulder functional capacity which caused by breast cancer. The meta-analysis failed to demonstrate significant effects of Tai chi compared with control interventions (psychological support therapy, standard health care, routine rehabilitation training) in improving quality of life (SMD 0.03, 95%CI: -0.85, 0.91, P=0.94). Conclusion Tai chi is effective on shoulder functional capacity of breast cancer, but not significantly on quality of life.

This paper aimed to study clinical effectiveness of gabapentin in the treatment for pruritus and insomnia among patients with hemodialysis. Eighty patients with severe pruritus and insomnia during regular hemedialysis in Jiaozhou People's Hospital, Jiangsu were randomly divided into two groups with 40 patients each. Gahapentin 0. 1 g were given each patient every night for 4 weeks in one group and a modified-re]ease capsule of 8 mg chiorphenamine maleate was given each patient daffy for 4 weeks in the other group. Effectiveness of treatment was evaluated by improvement of itching symptoms and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores for insomnia in the patients. Itching improvement was observed in 85%(34/40) of the patients and PSQI scores obviously lowered in them four weeks after gabapentin treatment.However, itching improvement was observed only in 42% ( 17/40 ) of the patients and little change was observed in PSQI scores in them four weeks after chlorphenamine treatment It suggests that gabapentin can significantly improve quality of sleeping and itching symptoms in patients with hemodialysis and it is worthy popularizing in those with it.

Objective: To evaluate the bioavallability and bioequivalence of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated pellets capsules. Methods:A randomized crossover design was performed in 32 healthy male volunteers. A single oral dose of 20 mg rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated pellets capsules ( test preparation) or enteric-coated shell capsules ( the reference capsules) was administrated under fed conditions. The wash period was 7 days. The blood samples were collected at different time points. The concentration of rabeprazole in plasma was determined by an LC-MS/MS method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 3. 0 software and the bio-equivalence was evaluated. Results:The maln pharmacokinetic parameters of the two formulations were shown as follows:T1/2 of (2. 20 ± 0. 83)h and(1. 951 ± 0. 515)h,Tmax of (3. 88 ± 1. 11)h and(4. 64 ± 1. 504)h,Cmax of (401. 06 ± 170. 75)ng·ml-1 and(394. 63 ± 215.64)ng·ml-1,AUC0→t of (918.42 ±427.39)ng·h·ml-1 and (994.49 ±520.73)ng·h·ml-1, and AUC0→∞ of(937.30 ± 445.13)ng·h·ml-1 and(1 011.69 ±534.77)ng·h·ml-1. The analysis showed that the maln pharmacokinetic parameters of the two formulations had no significant differences(P>0. 05) except for Tmax(P<0. 05). The relative bioavallability of rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated pellets capsules was (99. 80 ± 7. 20) %. Conclusion:Compared with the reference capsules, rabeprazole sodium enter-ic-coated pellets capsules show the property of higher dispersion degree, milder influence from food, more rapid release and absorption. The enteric-coated pellets capsules and the reference capsules are bioequivalence.
