Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the third leading cause of death globally .Apart from the suc-cessful phase Ⅲclinical trial of trastuzumab and Ramucirumab , other targeted therapies in gastric cancer ( GC) have fallen short or still in early clinical development .In this review, we will summarize the most up to date information on many of the potential actionabledriver genesin gastric cancer and the importance of using the optimal diagnostic test to select for these molecularly defined patients . We focus on the following aspects:HER-2, EGFR, FGFR, MET, IGF-1R and VEGF.

Objective To investigate phases in normal rabbit liver contrast enhancement with the acoustic densitometry(AD).Methods Ten cases of normal rabbit were examined with second harmonic imaging(SHI).The AD curves and data of parenchyma were compared before and after the portal blood flow was blocked,when the contrast agents were administrated through ear veins.The AD curves and data of parenchyma were also investigated when the contrast agents were injected via ear veins and mesenteric veins.Results The curves of normal rabbit liver parenchyma were single-peak-shaped,looking like "a verticle triangle",when the contrast agent was administrated through ear veins.The curve was divided into 3 sections: ascending,summit,descending,with the value of peak intensity ( 18.4 ? 1.7 )dB.Ascending section indicated the arterial phase,and summit and descending sections the portal phase.The AD curves were quite similar before and after the portal blood flow was blocked,only with the peak value slightly decreased,and the values of peak intensity decreasing by 2 dB.Two peaks were seen in the "Hump-like" AD curves in the parenchyma,with the second peak higher than the first,as the contrast agents were administrated through mesenteric veins again 10-15 seconds after administration via ear veins.Conclusions The arterial phase is short and portal phase is long in normal rabbit liver contrast sonography.The enhancement of parenchyma is caused mostly by contrast from hepatic artery,and the contrast from portal veins only plays a minor role.

?Objective:To study the effects of Docetaxel on the proliferation and metastatic potential of mucoepidermoid carcinoma M 3SP 4 cells in vitro and in vivo . Methods:Inhibitory effects of Docetaxel on the proliferation and metastatic potential of mucoepidermoid carcinoma M 3SP 4 cells were investigated with cell counting,cloning assay flow cytometry, tail vein injection and submandibular gland injection of the cells into nude mice. Results:Docetaxel inhibited M 3SP 4 cells growth in a dose and time dependent way. The IC 30 and IC 50 (with 72 h exposure) of Docetaxel were 0.34 nmol/L and 0.63 nmol/L, respectively; the doubling time(h) of the cells treated with the drug at IC 30 for 7 days and of the control were 32.7 h, 43 h, respectively; the clonogenesity(%) of the control and of the cells treated with Docetaxel ( 0.05 nmol/Lor 0.1 nmol/L)were (29.2?1.4)% and (20.2?0.8)% and (2.8?0.4)%, respectively; the number of metastatic foci on lung surface in the nude mice treated with the drug at 30 mg/kg?week and in the controls were 0 and 11?3.4; the weight(g) of submandibular gland in the two groups were 0.31?0.05 and 1.20?0.23 respectively. Conclusion:Docetaxel may inhibit the proliferation and metastatic potential of mucoepidermoid carcinoma M 3SP 4 cells.

Objective To explore the early diagnostic marker and mechanism of the injury of in- testinal mucosal barrier induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups:the sham operation group(SO),the ischemia 15 minutes group(A),the ischemia 45 minutes group(B),the ischemia 45 minutes plus reperfusion 2 hours group (C),the ischemia 45 minutes plus reperfusion 6 hours group(D),and the ischemia 45 minutes plus reperfusion 12 hours group(E).Using clamping and then releasing superior mesenteric artery the model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion in rats was made.The sham operation group only underwent laparotomy. At different time points after ischemia and reperfusion the levels of serum CK,LDH,D-lactate and intes- tinal fatty acid binding protein(IFABP)in each group were examined.The morphological changes of in- testinal tissues were observed with light microscopy.Results Compared with group SO,the level of se- rum IFABP in group A was(374.74?48.85)pg/ml,significantly higher(P＜0.01),but the level of CK,LDH and D-lactate had no significant difference(all P＞0.05).In group B,the level of CK was (1090.40?187.51)u/L,peaking at 45 minutes after ischemia,meanwhile,D-lactate and IFABP levels were significantly increased(P＜0.01,respectively).In group C,D-lactate and IFABP were (2.51?0.19)?g/ml and (1601.42?286.81 )pg/ml,respectively,peaking at 2 hours after reperfusion (P＜0.01).At 6 hours after reperfusion,compared with ischemia 45 minutes,CK level was significantly de- creased(P＜0.01),LDH had no significant difference(P＞0.05),but the levels of D-lactate and IF- ABP were(2.03?0.24)?g/ml and(1443.76?174.52)pg/ml,respectively,all sustained a high lev- el(P＜0.01 ).At 12 hours after reperfusion,D-lactate and IFABP levels were gradually decreased(P＜0.01).At 45 minutes after ischemia the morphological changes of intestinal mucosa could be observed. At 6 hours after reperfusion part of the mucous layer appeared necrotic,some intestinal mucosal cells shed to enteric cavity,and submucous layer had hyperemia and edema obviously.Injury scores of intestinal mucosa were significantly correlated to the serum level of D-lactate and IFABP,correlation coefficients were 0.456,0.612(P＜0.01).Conclusion The monitoring of serum IFABP combined with D-lac- tate is a early,sensitive and specific biochemical marker in the diagnosis of intestinal mucosal barrier in- jury after ischemia-reperfusion.

By stratified random sampling method, 10 000 residents were investigated with the questionnaire in Fangzhuang community of Beijing, 9497 valid questionnaires were collected with a return rate of 94. 97%. The results showed that two main purposes for patients to use the community health services were to seek consultation (29. 8% ) and to get prescription (28. 2% ). The three main reasons for residents to choose community health services were the convenience, less medical expenses and more clear explanation from doctors, followed by the personal trust in the doctors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective mechanism of emodin(大黄素) on intestinal mucosal injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups,namely sham operation group(Group A),group of ischemia 45 minutes followed by reperfusion 6 hours(Group B),emodinpretreated group(Group C).The superior mesenteric artery was occluded and then released to produce the intestinal I/R model in rats.Group C was administrated emodin intravenously(2.5 mg/kg) before 30 minutes of the operation.In the sham operation group and model group,similar volume of normal saline was administered respectively.After 45 minutes of ischemia and 6 hours of reperfusion, the blood was collected from the inferior vena cava respectively in each group.Afterwards,the rats were sacrificed,and the mesenteric lymph node(MLN) and small intestinal tissues were taken for pathological analysis by light microscopy.The serum levels of intestinal fatty acid binding protein(IFABP),nitrogen monoxidum(NO),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),and the activities of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),myeloperoxidase(MPO)in the small intestinal tissues were measured,and the rates of bacterial translocation(BT) in blood and MLN were examined at 6 hours after reperfusion in each group. Results The contents of IFABP,NO,TNF-?,MDA and MPO were significantly lower(all P

Objective To investigate the expressions of miR-210-3p,miR-221-3p,miR-21-5p and miR-150-Sp in the plasma of breast cancer patients before and after radiotherapy in order to establish reliable early biomarkers of non-uniform radiation injuries.Methods Blood samples were collected from 13 patients before radiotherapy (0 Gy) and 24 h after radiotherapy of 2,10,20,30 Gy.The miRNAs in the blood plasma were detected with qRT-PCR.Results The levels of miR-210-3p,miR-221-3p,miR-21-5p had no significant difference among different dosage groups after radiotherapy(P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference between the expression of miR-150-5p before and after 2 Gy radiotherapy (P ＞ 0.05).While the relative level of miR-150-5p gradually decreased to 0.808,0.605,0.565 (x2 =18.76,P ＜ 0.05) with increased accumulative dosage of 10,20,and 30 Gy,respectively.In addition,the miR-150-5p expression levels had no relationship (P ＞ 0.05) with situations (positive or negative group) of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2),estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the breast cancer cells.Conclusions Ionizing radiation could reduce the expression of miR-150 in the plasma of breast cancer patients in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective:To evaluate the analgesic effect of low dose ropivacaine combined with fentanyl in patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) and its influence on labor and safety of mothers and their newborns. Methods:One hundred and forty healthy nullipara at term were randomly assigned to epidural analgesia or control group. The analgesia group received PCEA when their labor stage reached active period in the first stage of labor.The PCEA mode was background infusion 6 ml/h, bonus 2 ml,lockout time 10 min/each infusion. The VAS, modified Bromage scale(MBS),duration and mode of labor, postpartum hemorrhage,Apgar scores of newborns were recorded. Results:Fifteen minutes after application of PCEA,98.58% of patients felt no pains(VAS 0.057?0.48),only 4.8% showed a mild motor block(MAS 0.07?0.31).By the 60 min,all patients could move the lower limbs freely (MAS 0). The analgesia group had a significantly shorter duration of active period in the first stage of labor than that of the control group, but a significant longer duration of the second stage. In addition, the oxytocin usage was significantly more frequently in analgesia group than those in placebo group.There was no difference between the two groups in the duration of third stage, postpartum hemorrhage, Apgar scores of newborns in 1 min and 5 min, rate of cesarean section and instrumental delivery.Conclusion:Epidural analgesia with low dose ropvicaine combined with fentanyl is safe and effective, which has no influence on mothers and their infants. It could shorten the active period of labor, but may increase oxytocin usage. The ratio of cesarean section and instrumental delivery was similar between the two groups. This kind of labor analgesia is beneficial and do no harm to mothers as well as newborns.
