OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule on the expression of CD44v6 and nm23-H1 in esophageal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy. METHODS: Sixty-three cases of esophageal carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups: Fuzheng Yiliu Granule plus radiotherapy treated group (n=30) and radiotherapy treated group (n=33). The carcinoma specimens were obtained through endoscopic biopsy before and after twenty-one days of treatment. The expression of CD44v6 and nm23-H1 was determined in the sixty-three specimens of esophageal carcinoma by immunohistochemical SABC methods. RESULTS: After twenty-one days of treatment, the positive rates of CD44v6 in the Fuzheng Yiliu Granule plus radiotherapy treated group and the radiotherapy treated group were 40.0% and 69.7%, respectively, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The positive rates of nm23-H1 in the Fuzheng Yiliu Granule plus radiotherapy treated group and the radiotherapy treated group were 20.0% and 21.2%, respectively, and the difference was not significant between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Fuzheng Yiliu Granule can lower the expression of CD44v6 in esophageal carcinoma, and may prevent infiltration and lymph node metastasis of esophageal carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the application of no-tumor touch isolation and killing tumor technique in gastric cancer radical cure. Methods 52 patients with gastric cancer underwent D 4 radical therapy from October 1997 to October 2003 in our hospital. No-tumor touch isolation and killing tumor technique was applied to all the cases. 44 patients with gastric cancer received D 1 radical therapy without the application of no-tumor touch isolation and killing tumor technique served as control. The 5-year survival rate of the two groups was compared. Results There were not obvious post-operative complications in the two groups. The 5-year survival rate of D 4 and D 1 radical therapy groups were 42.3% and 18.2%, respectively(P

Objective To investigate the characters of TCM syndromes of HIV/AIDS patients by intraveneous drug. Method Based on the TCM theories,related literature and experts' experience,the questionnaire was compiled and revised,170 patients were investigated one by one,and the data was analysed. Result The frequency lines in turn:spleen qi deficiency,liver depression with qi stagnation,kidney yin deficiency,phlegm-heat congestion of lung,disharmony of liver and stomach,lung qi deficiency,kidney deficiency of both yin and yang,qi deficiency,phlegm-damp congestion of lung,liver fire,heart yin deficiency. The excess syndromes lies in the liver and the lung. The deficiency syndromes lies in kidney,spleen and stomach,and lung. Conclusions The frequent syndromes in the study distinguished from the other congener study. It may be caused by many different contribution factors of patients and researchers.

Objective To determine the optimum water-extracting technology of Mailuoning injection. Methods The orthogonal test was used to select the water extract technology of Mailuoning injection. Results The best technology was that crude drug was added 12 and 8 times water, then soaked 0.5 h, and extracted for l.5 and 1.0 h. Conclusion The study of technology provides the basis for further purification.

Objective To present a new method of motor power control in order to realize the precise motor power control of medical equipment. Methods The power control method based on PWM Modulation circuit was proposed by researching the DSP microcontroller TMS320LF240x. Results The test results fully satisfied the design requirements. Conclusion The system has simple structure,good programming,and can use different control algorithms in different applications without the need for change in the external circuit,which is easy to upgrade and meet the needs of special occasions.

To study effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on the growth and differentiation of rat adipocytes, a cells culture system of rat primary preadipocytes was established. The cells treated by different concentration of AA supplemented based on DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Cell proliferation was measured by trypan blue exclusion and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay method. Hoechst33342 fluorescence staining observed AA induced morphological changes. Oil Red O staining extraction assay assess the degree of adipogenesis and differentiation, and cyclooxygenases-2(COX-2) mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that rat preadipocytes treated with 120 μmol/L AA for 24-72 hours remarkably promoted the cells proliferation compared with control, 160 μmol/L AA treated for 48 hours could induce apoptosis of preadipocytes. 40, 80 μmol/L AA decreased the fat content in cells at 72 hours, and 40 μmol/L AA significantly up-regulated the expression of COX-2 mRNA at 24 hours. This results indicate that AA regulate adipocytes proliferation and differentiation depended on treatment time and concentration. 40-80 μmol/L AA maybe useful to control body fat, which may be associated with the increase of COX-2 mRNA.

Objective To elucidate that AIDS is not equal to any disease of TCM. Methods Previous literatures on differentiating the difference between AIDS and its similar TCM termed diseases as "Fuqiwenbing", "Wendu", and "Xulao" were reviewed and further discussion on the differences was performed by the author. Results Many scholars draw a conclusion that AIDS is not equal to any of TCM diseases or syndromes by their detailed research, comparison and analysis. Conclusion AIDS is not any of TCM termed disease, but it can be treated with the successful experience of TCM in treating other traditional diseases.

Objective: To study the anti oxidative effects of PLF. Methods: The ?OH scavenging effect was measured by salicylic acid method, the content of MDA in liver mitochondria and microsome was measured by TBA assay; hemolysis of RBC and the swelling of mitochondria were detected by spectrophotometric methods. Results: PLF can scavenge ?OH, inhibit production of MDA, swelling of mitochondria and hemolysis of RBC. Conclusion: PLF has anti oxidation effects invitro.

Object To set up a determination method for aucubin in three medicinal plants of Pedicularis L Methods The medicinal herbs were defatted by Et 2O, then extracted by MeOH and determined by HPLC method. Varian C 18 column, mobile phase: MeOH H 2O (15∶85); detection wavelength: 204 nm, flow rate: 0.5 mL/min. Results The content of aucubin and its recovery in three medicinal plants were as follows: aucubin in P. decora, in P. davidii and P. artselaeri were 0.90%, 1.94%, 0.95%; recovery rates were 102.3%, 98.2%, 97.6% in P. artelaeri.
