For stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients after surgery,the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial.Several studies indicate that the patients with high-risk stage Ⅱ colon cancer can benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.According to the clinical and pathological features,the stage Ⅱcolon cancer patients including T4 lesion,perforation,peritumoral lymphovascular invasion can benefit from the adjuvant chemotherapy of oxaliplatin.In the horizontal of molecular and genetic levels,the stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients can express high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and cannot benefit from the chemotherapy of Fluorouracil.The guiding functions of 18q loss of heterozygosity (18q LOH),Cx43 and gene expression profiling in adjuvant chemotherapy are still unclear,and need further study.

Objective To explore the acute toxicity and LD 50 of Tripterygium Hypoglaucum (Levl) Hutch(THH) solution to provide information for safe clinical application. Methods After oral administration of THH solution in mice, the mortality and the physiological and pathological changes were observed. Results The LD 50 (95% confidence limit) of THH in male and female mice was 79 g/kg(69～89 g/kg) and 100 g/kg (90～112 g/kg), respectively. No marked pathological change of the organs was found. Conclusion According to the standard of grading of acute toxicity, THH solution belongs to the moderate class. Therefore, it is safe in clinical practice and has a wide application.

Objective To observe the concentration changes of plasma cortisol ( Cor ) and adrenocorticotropic hormone( ACTH) in preterm infants with respiratory failure receiving ventilation treatment. Methods The 30 preterm in-fants with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation were selected as the preterm group with respiratory failure, and 32 full term infants with respiratory failure in need of mechanical ventilation were selected as the term infant group with respiratory failure, and 52 preterm infants( preterm control group) and 17 full term infants( term control group) were selected as controls. All the cases were chosen from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Anhui Province Children′s Hospital during January to December 2014. The levels of plasma Cor and ACTH were measured and analyzed. Results (1) Cor level:on the 3rd day, the level of plasma Cor in the preterm group with respiratory failure was lower than that in the term group with respiratory failure[262. 50(162. 00-332. 50) nmol/L vs 531. 00(244. 75-644. 00) nmol/L], and higher than those in the preterm control group[199. 50(49. 05-388. 95) nmol/L] and term control group[120. 00(43. 90-191. 00) nmol/L], the differences were statistically significant(all P<0. 05). On the 7th day, the level of plasma Cor in the preterm group with respiratory failure was lower than that in the term group with respiratory failure[128. 00(65. 85-244. 00) nmol/L vs 222. 00 (131. 50-377. 85) nmol/L], the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). (2) ACTH level:on the 3rd day, the level of ACTH in the preterm group with respiratory failure was higher than those in the other groups[38. 20(25. 18-76. 65) pmol/L vs 24. 60(19. 03-38. 20) pmol/L vs 22. 30(14. 40-40. 60) pmol/L vs 24. 20(13. 90-45. 65) pmol/L], the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). On the 7th day, the concentration of ACTH in the preterm group with respiratory failure was lower than those in the term group with respiratory failure[16. 55(12. 78-31. 80) pmol/L vs 29. 85(18. 23-54. 65) pmol/L], and there were statistical differences(P<0. 05). Conclusions The newborns with respiratory failure were in criti-cal stress, the level of plasma Cor in the preterm infants with respiratory failure was lower than that of the term infants with respiratory failure, while the level of ACTH in the former was higher than that in the latter. And when the stress disap-peared, both of the plasma Cor and ACTH recovered to the normal level.

Objective To study the expression of serum interleukin (IL )-6 and IL-10 in sepsis patients ,and their correlations with immune function .Methods A total of 56 patients with sepsis were divided into three groups ,including 18 patients in sepsis group ,21 patients in severe sepsis group ,17 patients in septic shock group .All the patients were also divided into survivor and death group according to whether they survived within 2 weeks .Other 30 healthy persons were selected in the control group .Serum IL-6 and IL-10 ,CD4+ /CD8+ were detected and compared .Results Serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels in the three sepsis groups were significantly higher than those in control group ,and with the severity aggravating ,these indicators increased .The level of serum IL-6 in sepsis patients was significantly reduced at the 3rd day ,while there was no difference on the serum IL-10 in severe sepsis group and septic shock group compared with that at admission(P>0 .05) .Compared with survivor group ,serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels on both admission and the 3rd in death groups increased significantly (P<0 .05) .CD4+ ,CD8+ ,CD4+ /CD8+ were negative related with serum IL-6 and IL-10 in both severe sepsis and septic shock group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The expression of IL-6 and IL-10 in patients with sepsis are over-expressive ,and closely related with disease activity and immune function .

The spores suspension of Streptomyces roseosporus D-38 irritated with 20mW He-Ne laser for 20 min were incubated on G1 medium plates containing 1. 9?g/mL of streptomycin. Ten percent of mutants increased the potency of daptomycin by streptomycin-resistance method, including the mutant LC-54, which could produce daptomycin 81. 2 mg/L, which was 39% higher than that of the beginning strain by flask fermentation.

In industrial glutamate fermentation, intermitted feeding glucose with the help of off-line glucose measurement is generally necessary. This kind of feeding strategy could cause large variations in glucose concentration so that it is not favorable for the achievement of efficient and stable glutamate fermentation. Glutamate fermentation is characterized with typical non-growth association behavior, and during glutamate production phase glucose consumption is closely correlated with ammonia consumption. In this study, glucose concentration was controlled at various pre-determined levels by predicting glucose consumption amount and thus its concentration with the aid of on-line monitoring ammonia consumption. When glucose concentration was controlled around a lower level of 5 g/L~10 g/L, the final glutamate concentration could reach a relatively higher level of 80 g/L. In this way, the huge osmotic stress change due to the large glucose concentration variation with the intermitted feeding method could be avoided and the glutamate fermentation performance enhancement be expected.

Objective To investigate the causes and therapeutic methods of compartment syndrome following radial artery cannulation in the left forearm.Methods The data(including puncture pin type,puncture frequency, onset time and INR) and therapeutic methods(including using manicol,cold compress,fasciotomy,dactylolysis and dermatoplasty) of 6 patients were retrospectively analyzed,which had compartment syndrome after radial artery can- nulation in the left forearm.Results The type of puncture pin and puncture frequency attributed to this disease to some extent.After therapy,4 patients recovered completely.2 patients underwent fasciotomy,and Volkmann syn- drome happened in 1 patient,dactylolysis happened in the other because of necrosis in the left thumb and finger.Con- clusion Compartment syndrome may be avoided by correct selection of puncture pin type and no repeated punctur- ing,and early diagnosis and therapy are important for fine prognosis.
