On the fluorescent reaction of ethidium bromide binding double-stranded DNA after cell ly-sis has been used to develop a rapid fluorometric assay for cytotoxicity. By using this technique,the cytotoxic activity of effector cells against target cells can be assayed by measuring the fluo-rescent intensities of the residual target cell DNA and the control target cell DNA. Our experi-mental results show that the fluorescent intensity of the uninjured, residual K562 cell DNA is ininverse relation to the cytotoxic activity of NK cells after incubation of peripheral bloed lympho-cytes with K562 cells. for 20 hr, at a different ratio of effector cell to target cell. We detected thecytotoxic activities of NK cells of perpheral blood lymphocytes from 34 normal individuals and 30cancer patients, and their mean percentages of NK cytotoxicity were 51.96?6.62% and 25.02?10.83% respectively, and had much significant deviation statistically(P

Objective To compare and analyse the esthetic effect of four kinds of the porcelain fused to metal crowns (PFMs) in restoring anterior teeth. Methods Based on single standard, a total of 371 anterior teeth from 110 patients were restored by PFM, in which 206 teeth of 59 patients were restored with Ni-Cr alloy PFM, 105 teeth of 29 patients with full circular procelain shoulder PFM, 35 teeth of 16 patients with titanium metal PFM, and 25 teeth of 6 patients with noble metal PFM. The esthetic effect was examined and analysed by single-blind method in one week and after one year. Results Between three days and one week, there was no difference among four PFMs in shapes and colors, which corresponded with adjacent teeth. The edge suitability was good and no significance was found in them. After one year, there was no difference of four PFMs in shapes and colors, which corresponded with adjacent teeth. The edge suitability of noble metal PFM was better than the other three, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The esthetic effect is the best when noble metal PFM is used to restore anterior teeth and better with full circular procelain shoulder PFM.

The hemodynamic mechanism has been considered to be the main factor related to the cerebral aneurismal growth and rupture. Virtual numerical research has become an important method for the study of cerebral aneurismal hemodynamics, which lead to a deep insight into the field of hemodynamic mechanism.We reviewed the correlative researches in this field during recent years and made a summarization concerning about, the relationship between intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics like velocity,wall tangential stress and pressure field under variable conditions and the biological behaviors such as growth and rupture of aneurysms; and further discussion on the topic of clinical application.

ObjectiveTo establish nude mouse tumor models bearing human pancreatic adenocarcinoma SW1990 cells in multiple sites at different time-points and investigate the feasibiilty of multiple tumor-bearing in these models; then the findings and detection rate of 3.0T magnetic resonance image (MRI) in subcutaneous transplanted tumors was analyzed. Methods A total of 6 BALB/C nude mice were randomized into 3 groups (2 mice per group ).At the 1st,8th,15th day,the mice were injected subcutaneously with the suspension of SW1990 cells at left axilla and right axilla and right groin in sequence.Three weeks later,all the bearing-tumor mice were performed with MRI non-contrast enhanced scanning plus Gd-DTPA enhanced scan and the subcutaneous masses were subjected to pathological analysis.ResultsAll the 6 nude mice were alive during the study and obvious mass was observed in every injected site.The tumor size was positively associated with the grwing time.There were 9 tumors which could be de.ted by noncontrast enhanced MRI scanning and one more tumor was detected by contrast enhanced scanning.2 tumors were not detected,the 2 tumors were located at subcutaneous of right groin,with the shortest growing time,and the major axis of the 2 un-detected tumors was less than 5mm.Despite the MRI findings of the transplanted masses similar to that of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma with bleeding,necrosis,they presented the characteristics of a clear rim,with pseudocapeule sign.All the 12 masses were similar with human pancreatic adenocarcinoma under light microscope.ConclusionsIt is feasible to transplant human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell at three different subcutaneous sites (injected at three different points of time) in the nude mouse,with a minimal survival time of three weeks.However,routine 3.0T MRI cannot detect the early tumors (growing time within 1 week,major axis ＜5 mm).

[Objective]To investigate the clinical effects of the treatment of thoracolurnbar fracture with pedicle screw system under endoscopy assisted X-tube system.[Method]Twenty-one cases of pure thracolumbar fracture without neural impairment were treated with pedicle screw system under endoscopy assisted X-tube system.With the image intensifier,the pedicle based in the affected segments were localized and exposed through 4 small incisions(3cm).Transpedicular fixation and reduction by endoscopy assisted X-tube system were performed through the 4 small incisions.[Result]Twenty-one cases were followed up for 12-18 months(averaged,14 months).Radiography showed good reduction fixation of the vertebral bodies,good correction of the kyphosis deformities and good restoration of lumbar motion.[Conclusion]The treatment of thoracolumbar fracture with pedicle screw system under endoscopy assisted X-tube system is indicated for thoracolumbar fracture without neural impairment.This technique has advantages of minimal invasion and early functional recovery.

Objective: To explore influence of bisoprolol on neuroendocrine factor levels in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), and its therapeutic effects.Methods: A total of 116 CHF patients, who were treated in our department from Jan 2014 to Nov 2015, were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group and bisoprolol group.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), 6min walking distance (6MWD), serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), endothelin (ET) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) before and three months after treatment, and therapeutic effect were compared between two groups.Results: There were no significant difference in above indexes between two groups before treatment, P>0.05 all.Compared with routine treatment group after three-month treatment, there were significant rise in LVEF [(28.13±4.16)% vs.(36.02±5.14)%] and 6MWD [(245.74±44.62)m vs.(315.23±53.12)m], significant reductions in LVEDd [(62.73±10.14)mm vs.(52.82±9.47)mm], serum levels of BNP [(424.51±62.26) ng/ml vs.(324.35±50.46) ng/ml], ET [(80.14±13.25) ng/ml vs.(57.91±10.32) ng/ml] and ANP [(233.24±42.35)ng/ml vs.(164.83±31.26) ng/ml] in bisoprolol group, P<0.05 all.Compared with routine treatment group, there was significant rise in total effective rate (72.4% vs.86.2%) in bisoprolol group, P=0.04.Conclusion: Bisoprolol can significantly reduce BNP, ET and ANP levels, then delay ventricular remodeling and improve cardiac function in patients with chronic heart failure.The therapeutic effect is significant, which is worth extending.

ObjectiveTo study the water/fat ratio of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and mass-forming focal chronic pancreatitis (MFP),and to provided guide for the clinicians.MethodsThirteen patients with PDAC,8 patients with MFP and 20 healthy volunteers were scanned by GE 3.0T MR IDEAL sequence.The signal strength of outcome images was measured; the water/fat ratio analysis was performed.Two kinds of formula were applied,the first was WF1 =SW/SF,the second was WF2 =( SIP + SOP) / ( SIP - SOP).SW was the signal strength of water,SF was the signal strength of fat,and SIP was the signal strength of in-phase,while SOP was the signal strength of opposite phase.ResultsBy using the WF1 formula,the water/fat ratio of normal pancreas,PDAC,MFP was 7.97 ±0.95,9.94 ±1.19,5.08 ±0.49,respectively.By using the WF2 formula,the water/fat ratio of normal pancreas,PDAC,MFP was 11.51 ± 1.62,13.87 ±1.84,5.73 ±0.65,respectively.The difference among the three groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05 ) under the same formula.The value of WF2 was higher than that of WF1,the difference in PDAC groups was also statistically significant ( P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionsThe water/fat ratio of pancreas among PDAC,MFP and normal pancreas is different.PDAC has the highest water/fat ratio,followed by the normal pancreas; MFP has the lowest ratio.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a major mechanism in tumor metastasis.As the key regulatory factor,Twist gene plays an important role in EMT,and it can be induced by radiotherapy,chemotherapy and a variety of cytokines.Researches show that tumor cells can get stem cell-like properties via EMT,which can lead to chemo-radiotherapy resistance,tumor angiogenesis and distant metastasis.EMT has a great influence on the prognosis of tumor,and it is expected to become an important target for tumor treatment.
