Objective: To detect somatic mutations in epidermial growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the serum circulating DNA, screen the EGFR-mutated lung cancer patients, and evaluate the clinical effects of the genetically targeted drug gefitinib. Methods: DNA was extracted from the serum specimens of patients and amplified by PCR. The EGFR mutations in PCR product were detected by direct sequence analysis. Results: Somatic mutations of EGFR were identified in serum from 46 of the 116 cases (39.7%), including 30 cases (65.2%) in exon 19 and 16 cases (34.8%) in exon 21. Female patients and those patients with adenocarcinoma (including adenosquamous carcinoma) had an increased frequency of mutations. Further analysis on 20 lung cancer patients demonstrated that the EGFR mutation in serum was consistant with that detected in tumor tissues, suggesting that the EGFR mutations in serum originated from the primary tumor. Based on the screening assay, 19 patients with EGFR mutations who failed prior chemotherapy were treated with gefitinib. The response rate was 52.6% and the disease-controlling rate was 89.5%. The median progression-free survival time was 8 months, the median overall survival time was 12 months, and 2-year survival rate was 33.3%. Conclusions: The EGFR mutations in serum circulating DNA are consistant with the mutation in lung cancer tissue. Gefitinib treatment has significant effects on the advanced lung cancer based on the screening results of EGFR mutation.

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of 3D CT and 2D CT imaging for tibial plateau fractures. Methods A retrospective study was performed to evaluate 21 tibial plateau fractures. Four experienced orthopaedists were asked To make assessmem of fracture classifications and characteristics using 3D CT and 2D CT images.Agreement test Was performed to evaluate interobserver and intraobserver reliability for fracture classification and criteria validity for fracture characteristics(intraoperative findings were taken as the golden standard).Furthermore,MeNemar test was used to compare the agreement of 3D CT results and 2D CT results respectively with the golden standard for fracture characteristics.Results When 3D CT images were used.interobserver reliability and intraobserver reliability for fracture elassiftcation increased to"almost perfect agreement".The agreement of golden standard with 3D CT results for fracture characteristics Was significantly higher than that with 2D CT results. Condmiou Since 3D CT imaging can improve the reliability and accuracy of preoperative assessment oftibial plateau fractures,it is helpful and valuable for tibial plateau fractures.

For the current situation of the time background and the cultivation of innovation ability of undergraduates, the problems of fracture classification, function evaluation and postoperative rehabilitation were realized by a software research team which mainly consisted of medical undergrad-uates. We put the project into practice in forms of software production and software promotion trial separately in the field of teaching and clinical practice to encourage students to be involved in learn-ing in the process of software production of professional knowledge. The implementation of the project worked well, and developed the well-designed relevant mobile software which was convenient in clini-cal practice and acquired computer software copyright, indicating that it can effectively motivate the undergraduates' innovation interest and consciousness through participating in the various links and the software production process, and it can also contribute to the cultivation of the comprehensive practical and innovation ability of medical undergraduates.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the synergistic effect of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) on the expression of integrin beta3, in periodontal membrane of rat orthodontic tooth.

METHODSAn orthodontic tooth movement model was established. Up to 32 experimental rats were randomly divided into four groups according to a random number table. The four groups were injected with 1% PBS, TGF-beta1 (5 ng), PDGF-BB (10 ng), and combined TGF-beta1 (5 ng) and PDGF-BB (10 ng) in the buccal submucosal, respectively. The volume injected in each group was 0.1 mL. The animals were then sacrificed on the 10th day. The left maxillary first molar and periodontal tissue were taken. Different expressions of integrin beta3 were detected in periodontal tissues through immunohistochemistry. Mean optical density (OD) values of the positive fields were examined. The data obtained were analyzed through ANOVA. The data followed normal distribution, and were compared via t-test.

RESULTSCompared with the control groups, the expression of integrin beta3 was higher in the experimental groupin tension sides (P < 0.01). Significant differences in tension sides between the single-injection groups and the combined group were observed (P < 0.01). Compared with the control groups, the expression of integrin beta3 was higher in the experimental group in compression sides (P < 0.05). In addition, there was no significant differences in compression sides between the single-injection groups and the combined group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn terms of local regulatory factors, TGF-beta1 combined with PDGF-BB enhance the expression of integrin beta3 in the periodontal membrane and accelerate periodontal remodeling. The synergistic effect of the two growth factors is better than the single growth factor.

Mycoepoxydiene is a novel antitumor agent extracted from marine lignicolous fungi HLY-2, which is Diaporthe phaseolorum by molecule identification. The medium optimization for mycoepoxydiene by orthogonal design and the comparison of submerged fermentation and solid state fermentation were studied.
