Objective To investigate the role of suramin in inhibiting the angiogenesis of lung cancer. Methods The protei n expression of VEGF and its receptor fms-like tyrosine kinase(Flt), kinase ins ert domain-containing receptor(KDR) in lung cancer cell A549 and ECV-304 was studied with immunohistochemical technique. The anti-angiogenesis effect of su ramin was evaluated with immunohistochemical technique and cell culture. Results Suramin showed no effect on the production of lung cancer cel ls and their secretion of VEGF. No possitive expression of Flt, KDR in A549 was found in the suramin interfered group and non-interfered group, but VEGF w as e xpressed in both groups. The Flt and KDR expressions in ECV-304 cells were decr eased significantly after the treatment of suramin at 0.25 ng/ml and 2.5 ng/ml r espectively. There was no effect on proliferetion of A549 and ECV-304 after sur amin in terference. Conclusion The mechanism of inhibiting-angiogenes is of suramin is pro bably due to reducing the VEGF receptor expression in vascular endothelial cells and inhibiting the binding of VEGF and its receptors.

Objective: To examine the differences on clinical features between DSM-Ⅳ ADHD and ICD-10 HKD patients. Methods:516 children referred to psychiatric clinic because of overactivity, inattention, and impulsivity symptoms were divided into two groups: Children meeting both criteria ( HKD-ADHD group, n=199), and children meeting only DSM-Ⅳ ADHD criteria (ADHD group, n=317). Diagnoses were confirmed by structured interview with parents using Clinical Diagnostic Interview Scale. Results: Whereas the combined type is predominant in HKD-ADHD group (75.4%), predominately inattentive type take account of the majority in ADHD group (67.2%). Compared to ADHD group, HKD-ADHD group includes the patients with younger referral age(9.6?2.2 vs 10.7?2.6) and earlier onset of age(4.6?1.9 vs 5.9?2.5), more opposite defiant disorder comorbidity (41.2% vs 26.2%), more disturbed behaviors, and higher sensory integrative dysfunction prevalence (72.6% vs 56.9% ). However, among the patients not older than 9-year-old there is higher prevalence of learning disability in ADHD group (26.7% vs 14.8%).Conclusion: ICD-10 criteria identified a severe group of patients than those identified by DSM-Ⅳ.However, the patients satisfied only DSM-Ⅳcriteria has exhibited more academic difficulty and behavioral disturbance compared with normal children, so we recommend DSM-Ⅳ as clinical diagnostic tool so that earlier interventions could be possible.

Objective To analyze and summarize the skills and complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation( ECMO) cannu-lation and vein intubation. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients of V-A or V-V ECMO in our hospital from January 2009 to July 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. And the techniques of different catheter sites were summarized. Results Three cases were successfully insert-ed catheter by jugular vein puncture with one time. Four patients with ascending aorta intubation died from uncontrolled severe hemorrhage. Eight peripheral catheter site had a small amount of bleeding,with no more bleeding after pressurized bandage. There were no complications like bleeding, hematoma, hemothorax and pneumothorax in the period of ECMO. Conclusion In the process of the ECMO catheter, the standardized operation could reduce the incidence of serious complicaions including bleeding.

Objective To study the correlation between clinical rating scale and the duration of multiple system atrophy.Methods One hundred and twenty-two MSA cases fulfilling Gilman diagnostic criteria were recruited.Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale(UMSARS)was applied to assess the degree of the patients' disability.For analyzing the correlation between the UMSARS scores and the duration of the disease,the Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated.Results Among 122 MSA cases,male:female ratio was 1.7:1;disease duration lasted(2.8±1.6)years:possible MSA accounted for 50 cases(41%),probable MSA 72 cases(59%);MSA-P 35 cases(29%);MSA-C 73 cases(60%).MSA-P+C 5 cases(4%),MSA-A 9 cases(7%).The scores of UMSARS,UMSARS-Ⅰ and UMSARS-Ⅱ were found positively correlating with the disease duration.The Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were 0.368,0.266 and 0.392 respectively,all P<0.01;the adjusted Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were 0.360,0.257 and 0.385 respectively.all P<0.01.Conclusions MSA has complex clinical manifestations.which should include MSA-P+C subtype.UMSARS is a reliable scale to mirror the progression of MSA.which is useful to study the clinical features and disease duration of MSA.

Objective To study the clinical and neuroimaging features of subtypes of multiple system atrophy (MSA) and their correlations. Methods One hundred and forty-three MSA cases fulfilled Gilman diagnostic criteria (1999) were recruited and their clinical subtypes and stages were classified. Using the staging methods of the pontine cross sign and putaminal slit proposed by Horimoto, 108 patients showed abnormalities in MRI and were further evaluated. The relationship between the subtypes of MSA, disease duration, and MRI abnormalities has been analyzed. Results Of 143 MSA patients, the male-to-female ratio is 1.3:1 ; 93 cases are diagnosed with MSA-C, 39 with MSA-P, and 11 with MSA-P + C; 90 cases with probable diagnosis, and 53 with possible diagnosis. Of the 76 MSA-C cases with MRI abnormalities, 36 (47%) show the pontine cross sign and 10 (13%) show the putaminal slit; of the 24 MSA-P cases with MRI abnormalities, 6 (25%) show the pontine cross sign and 6 (25%) show theputaminal slit. In addition, MSA-C cases with shorter disease duration demonstrate earlier stages of the pontine cross sign. Conclusions In this study, the number of MSA-C cases is more than MSA-P, which might be related to the ethnic background. In neuroimaging, both the pontine cross sign and the putaminal slit are the marked features of MSA. To some degree, the subtypes of MSA are related with the features of imaging, that is, MSA-C patients present the pontine cross sign more often than MSA-P, and the putaminal slit is a comparatively common feature among MSA-P cases.
