Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1981;0(03):-
Objective To investigate the relation of DNA content and SPF to the clinicopathological characteristic in lung cancer.Methods Fresh specimens taken from 56 patients with lung cancer and 36 patients with non-malignant pulmonary lesions were measured for DNA index(DI),S-phase fraction(SPF) by using FACSCalibur 4200 flow cytometry.Results ① DNA index(DI) of lung cancer was 1.18?0.33,0.99?0.07 in lung cancer and non-malignant groups,respectively.The percentage of heteroploid was 78.6% in lung cancer,(5.6%) in non-malignant.DI and the positive rate of heteroploid were significantly higher in lung cancer groups than that in non-malignant group(P0.05);③ It was demonstrated that SPF was significant higher in lung cancer groups than that in non-malignant group. The SPF of heteroploid tumors was higher than that of diploid tumors(P

[Aim]To create CPI mode of teaching Chinese as a foreign language in a TCM university. [Method]Based on conventional teaching, language partner and interculture communication class(mixing Chinese and international students) were introduced in CPI mode. The effect of this mode was ana-lyzed. [Result] By effectively promoting the cooperative learning between Chinese and international students, CPI mode could not only improve Chinese teaching effect, but also improve international students’ability on intercultural communication.[Conclusion] Based on its practice, CPI mode is believed as an effective way to improve teaching and study.

Objective To cvaluate the efficacy and safety of HabibTM VesOpen intravascular radiofrequency catheter percutaneous radiofrequency ablation combined with TACE in the treatment of portal vein tumor thrombus of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Thirty-nine patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with portal vein thrombosis were treated with HabibTM VesOpen intracavitary catheter ablation combined with TACE.The postoperative success rate,complication,blood index,α-fetoprotein (AFP),portal vein patency and tumor thrombus imaging changes were assessed.Results All of 39 patients underwent surgery successfully without occurrence of perforation,infection,hepatapostema,intra-abdominal hemorrhage nor other complications associated with surgery.Blood routine examinations (WBC,RBC,PLT) after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of surgery had no statistical difference compared with those of preoperation.Liver function indexes including ALT,AST,ALB had statistical difference before and after the surgery except for TBIL.AFP had statistical difference before and after surgery.Doppler ultrasonography after 4 weeks showed blood flow in original blocked portal vein.Enhanced CT or MR examinations after 8 weeks on the abdomen,suggested that tumors were shrinked or disappeared.Conclusion Radiofrequency catheter ablation with intracavitary radiofrequency catheter of HabibTM VesOpen is an effective method in the treatment of portal vein tumor thrombus in primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Combined antiretroviral therapy ( cART) is widely used for infections of human immune deficiency virus ( HIV) .However , some antiviral drugs can not reach the effective concentrations in central nervous system due to the hinder of blood-brain barrier ( BBB) , resulting in the formation of viral reservoir in central nervous system .BBB is formed by human brain microvascular endothelial cells ( HBMVECs ) , which are connected by tight junction and a thick basement membrane , and astrocytic end-feet.This paper reviews possible mechanisms of BBB hindrance and anti-HIV drug efflux by transport proteins , as well as effective methods to deliver antiretroviral drugs into brain , including the application of nano technology .

Dental stem cells(DSCs)possess the characteristics of stem cells and can be effectively obtained from iatro-waste products (such as impacted wisdom tooth and the extracted teeth for orthodontic reason).It has been proved that DSCs are the important sources of stem cells for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research.Research of these stem cells will create broader space for tissue engi-neering and regenerative medicine and will have important values in translational research.This review gives an overview of the research pro-gress of dental stem cells,and presents some new findings of several common dental stem cells as well as the application in tissue regenera-tion.

Aseptic loosening of the prosthesis due to periprosthetic osteolysis is one of the main causes that affect the service life following artificial joint replacement. The patient should undergo revision of artificial joints,but the surgery is of high difficulty,high risk and excessive cost,etc. Therefore,using nonsurgical technique to control artificial prosthesis osteolysis is an urgent and realistic task. Currently,the drug prevents osteolysis through inhibiting osteoclast bone resorption,responding to cytokines,and promoting bone formation. In addition,gene therapy and other treatments for osteolysis are under exploration.

Objective To explore the role of RBC[Ca2+]i levels in pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates. Methods Twenty-eight neonates with moderate and severe HIE hospitalizeal from Jun. 2002 to Mar. 2006 were enrolled the study. The neonates with HIE were given routine treatment and Nimodipine for 7~10 days. Blood samples were collected before treatment and at 72 hours,7~10 days after treatment respectively. The levels of RBC [Ca2+]i were measured by Fura-2/AM. Twenty healthy full-term neonates were studied as controls. Results (1) The levels of RBC [Ca2+] i in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE were significantly higher than that in control group at every time points( P<0. 05 ,P<0.01). (2) the levels of RBC[Ca2+]i in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE peaked at 72 hours after treatment,and were still significantly higher than that of control group at 7~10 days after treatment(P<0. 05). (3) In the neonates with HIE,RBC[Ca2+ ]i levels correlated positively with the severity of HIE ( r = 0. 447, P< 0. 05 ). Conclusion RBC [Ca2+ ] i levels are closely associated with pathogenesis of HIE, and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HIE. Evaluating RBC [ Ca2+] i levels in neonate after birth may provide clinical clues for the early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of HIE.
