The proliferative response of splenic lymphocytes to Con A in Wistar rat was significantly enhenced after x-irradiation of the head with 10 Gy. At a cell concentration of 5?10~6 per ml, the ratio of 3~H-TdR incorporation between the irradiated head group and whole-body shielded group was 3.20(P

Objective:To investigate the clinic characters and diagnosis of Diabetic amytrophy.Methods:Two cases were systematically studied by the authors.Results:All the two cases were senile patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The clinical manifestations include chronic and subacute proximal amytrophy,weakness and pain of lower limbs,There were no specific auxiliary examination.Conclusion:Diabetic amyotrophy is often misdiagnosed.And careful history inquiry and physical examination can contribute to identification at an early stage,excluding other differential diagnosis.

Objective To study the expressions of p27Kip1 (p27) protein and Ki 67 antigen in human clear cell carcinoma of kidney and to find out the relationship between the expression levels and the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis in cases of clear cell carcinoma of kidney. Methods The expressions of p27 protein and Ki 67 antigen in the adjacent tissues of carcinoma in 20 cases and 42 cases of clear cell carcinoma of kidney were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of p27 protein and Ki 67 antigen in clear cell carcinoma of kidney were significantly higher than those of the both in the adjacent tissues of carcinoma( P

Abstract: Based on years of ancient literature research and clinical experience, Professor Pin-kang Wei developed the phlegm theory of gastric cancer. In light of the properties of gastric cancer and the method of differentiating syndromes within the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) paradigm, it is believed that gastric cancer is closely related with phlegm. Much ancient literature regarding the relationship between phlegm and gastric cancer was reviewed to explain the rationale and academic inheritance of the phlegm theory. In this theory, gastric cancer is regarded as a form of phlegm stagnation and consists of phlegm core, phlegm collateral and phlegm contamination. In order to explain the mechanism of development, recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer, phlegm contamination is regarded as the most fundamental cause and pathogenesis of gastric cancer. The therapy of resolving phlegm and dispersing nodules is suggested for the fundamental treatment of gastric cancer.

The HIV-1 capsid protein plays a crucial role in viral infectivity, assembling into a fullerene cone that encloses the viral RNA and it has gained attention as a promising therapeutic target. Research has been focused on the spatial structures of capsid proteins in recent years, and peptides and small molecules targeting capsid have been discovered. In this article, it summarizes the structure information of capsid protein, analyzes and compares the binding information of different peptides and small molecules targeting capsid. At the same time we give the perspective to the future drug discovery based on the protein-protein interaction during the maturation process.

The prevalence of invasive pulmonary fungal infections (IPFIs) has increased in children,which becomes a clinical concern in recent years.With the availabilities of new diagnostic tools for fungi and more antifungal agents,children with IPFIs may achieve a much earlier diagnosis and treatment.This article reviewed the development of laboratory tests,diagnostic criteria,treatment strategies and commonly used antifungal agents for IPFIs.

Head irradiation with 10 Gy X-rays was given to adrenalectomized male rats in the present study to observe the changes of serum LH, FSH and testosterone (TS) levels and testcular cAMP content. The results showed that the function of pituitary-gonad axis decreased in the adrenalectomized male rats. The levels of serum LH and FSH were lower, (P0.05). The changes might be related to the interaction of both hypothalamic CRF and GnRH neurons. Both the serum TS level (P

Objective To determine that atorvastatin might have anti-inflammatory effects in acute coronary syndromes(ACS) with C-reactive protein(CRP) reduction.Methods Ninety-two patients with ACS were assigned to three groups: high dose atorvastatin group(31 cases),taking atorvastatin 40 mg daily.Standard dose atorvastatin group(31 cases),taking atorvastatin 10 mg daily,and control group(30 cases),only receiving conventional therapy.CRP levels,lipid profiles were measured at first and fifth day and 1 month later.Results The study suggested:(1)CRP levels significantly decreased from baseline to the fifth day and 1 month later in high dose atorvastatin group(P
