In recent years,the efficacy of cervical cancer treatment has been increasing gradually.It has got a basic consensus of the standard treatment mode for most cervical cancer,but further effort should be done to improve the treatment response of locally advanced cervical cancer and recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.The efect of redical surgery and radiotherpy is the same to early cervical cancer.Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.Chemotherapy combined with antiangiogenic targeted therapy can improve the survival of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer,while whether needing new adjuvant therapy or not,it asks for further investigation.

In order to select a computed tomography(CT)scanner system with reasonable cost performance (performance-price ratio) among various brands and types of CT products in accordance with the clinical features of the pediatric patients, Tianjin Children's Hospital made a feasibility study on purchasing the equipment in all its aspects, including the evaluation of its type and performance, social and economic benefits, and eventually purchased a 16-slice helical CT scanner which fully fulfills the practical needs of the hospital. This way of evaluation can be widely used in the feasibility study for purchasing different large-scale medical equipment to avoid unnecessary waste of funds.

The principles, traits, and proceedings of the data-driven methods including principal component analysis, independent component analysis and canonical analysis are summarized. And the aspects of the methods adapted to functional magnetic resonance images(fMRI) data are emphasized.

Positron emission tomography(PET) plays an important role in the research of substance distribution in Human body. The distribution of substance in whole body is carried out by the transport via circulation system and exchange between blood and tissue which occurs in microvascular. Both the research of PET and of microvascular are focused on the transport and exchange of substance in human body. So it should be meaningful to apply PET image to the research of microvascular, and to use the microvascular theory to improve on the analysis of PET image. In this article, some research in this domain are introduced, and foreground is reviewed.

Shenghua decoction made by FU Qing-zhu is a famous formula aimed at syndrome of coagulation cold due to blood deficiency,static blood obstruction.The mechanism of disease is definite when this formula is applied.But the extensive use of Shenghua decoction,especially some potent preparation of it following childbirth without according to TCM principle based on differentiation of syndromes is a manifestation of highlighting formula and underestimating theory,which is useless and harmful.It should be emphasized.So the Shenghua decoction should be used under the direction of basic theory of TCM,through precise syndrome differentiation,according to the principle of "looking to and not being besieged by postpartum ".We should not follow blindly the method of treatment of "warming and resolving stasis" on the postpartum disease.It is important that Shenghua decoction should be used on the basis of syndrome differentiation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the change of the platelet function in children with primary immune thrombocy-topenia (ITP) before and after treatment.MethodsThe platelet indices, immature platelet fraction (IPF%), immature platelet counts (IPC), granule membrane glycoproteins of platelet (CD62p, PAC-1, CD42b) were tested by automatic blood cell analyzer and lfow cytometry (FCM) in 18 children with ITP before treatment and after complete response and in 17 children undergoing elective surgery (control gourp).ResultsCompared with control group, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and IPF% were signiifcantly higher and PLT, PCT, IPC were signiifcantly lower in children with ITP. The expressions of three platelet membrane glycoproteins (PAC-1, CD62p, CD42b) were signiifcantly lower in children with ITP. After treatment, children with ITP achieved completely response. Compared with before treatment, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and IPF% were signiifcantly lower, and PLT, PCT, IPC, and the expressions of three platelet membrane glycoproteins (PAC-1, CD62p and CD42b) were significantly higher. ConclusionsThe platelet function is depressed and in status of low activity in children with ITP. The relative platelet indices provide new references for the diagnosis and the judgment of therapeutic effect in ITP patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of Kennedy disease with secondary mitochondrial dysfunction and glutaric aciduria typeⅡ.Methods The clinical data of 1 case Kennedy disease with secondary mitochondrial dysfunction and glutaric aciduria typeⅡwas retrospectively analyzed.Results The patient presented muscle weakness in proximal limbs, fasciculation, bulbar palsy, amyotrophy, postural tremor, sensory disturbance, gynaecomastia, impotency.The level of serum creatine kinase and urinary glutaric acid were elevated. Electromyogram and nerve and muscle biopsy supported mixed damage in peripheral nerves, as well as neurogenic and secondary myogenic pathologic changes in muscles.Gene sequencing indicated trinucleotide CAG repeated amplification for 47 times in chromosome X.Diabetes was diagnosed at 7 years after onset.Conclusions The pathogenesis of Kennedy disease is very complex, which may involve myogenic factor.The treatment to the secondary mitochondrial and lipid metabolic disturbance in muscle can improve the muscle weakness to a certain extent.

Objective: To investigate the antitumor effect of SGI-1776 on human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro, and the proliferation inhibitory effects of SGI-1776 were determined by MTT assay and colony formation assay. The effect of SGI-1776 on the distribution of cell cycle phase was observed by flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) staining. hTe inhibition rate of migration and invasion were valued by transwell cell assay. Multiple molecular techniques, such as ELISA, Western blot, siRNA and cDNA transfection were used to explore the molecular mechanism. Results: SGI-1776 presented dramatic anti-tumor activity against HO-8910 cells in vitro, inhibited the cells proliferation and colony formation, and attenuated the migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner, accompanied by cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. SGI-1776 caused the proliferation inhibition with concomitant decrease in Pim-1 kinase activity, down-regulated the expression of Pim-1 protein and and its downstream genes, such as CDK6, pCDK6, CDK4, pCDK4, CDK2 and pCDK2, and increased the expression of P21 and P27. Down-regulation expression of Pim-1 by siRNA followed SGI-1776 treatment resulted in enhanced cell proliferation inhibition rate and attenuated migration/invasion. Up-regulation of Pim-1 by cDNA transfection attenuated SGI-1776-induced cell proliferation inhibition and its migration/invasion. Conclusion: Pim-1 mediates the biological effect of SGI-1776 in human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells, suggesting Pim-1 might be a novel target for human ovarian cancer.

The subject of modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has been argued in China for many years.Many good ideas have been suggested by experts and scholars.In this paper,one issue in the modernization of TCM is discussed.The issue is how to introduce some mathematical methods into traditional Chinese medicine.This is a valuable subject to study,because by this way,the computers can be used to analyze the composing methods of TCM prescriptions and to help TCM doctors to select better treating means.A new mathematical method for analyzing the composing methods of TCM prescriptions has been developed,and the methods are still based on TCM theory.By these methods,the TCM prescriptions can be computed or analyzed in digital formations,but the integral conception about human body in TCM is still left intact.In this paper,using the new method,several TCM prescriptions were analyzed,and the analyzed results demonstrate that the methods are efficient and give a good help to understand the composing methods of TCM prescriptions.
