Objective To explore the effect of surgical treatment of metastatic hepatic cancer. Methods Two hundred and eight patients with metastatic hepatic cancer received surgical treatment in our department during the past seven years, and their information were analyzed retrospectively in this paper. The ages of these patients ranged from 19 years to 82 years, and 133 of them were male, 75 of them were female. Two of them were complicated with hepatocirrhosis, and 5 with polycystic liver. The metastatic cancer originated from gastrointestinal tract in 121 cases (58.2%), and from other parts of the body in 87 cases (41.8%). One hundred and sixteen of the patients received resection treatment (resection group), and 92 of them received non-resecton treatment (non-resection group). The survival rates of the two groups were compared through Chi square test.Results The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates for all patients were 56.3%,23.1% and 13.0%, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 74.1 %,39.7% and 23.3% in the resection group respectively and 33.7%, 2.2% and 0 in the non-resection group, respectively. Resection group had a higher survival rate than that of the non-resection group ( P

Liver ferritin of Sphyrna zygaena(SZLF) with purity of mass spectrum was prepared in batch. Under) the condition of acidifying medium at pH 1.0, PAGE showed that SZLF subunits treated for 20 min began) to dissociate. A whole process of subunit dissociation and recombination was monitored by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). In addition, the changes of size of both protein shell and iron core were also determined) by TEM directly. It was found that in the acid dissociation process of SZLF subunits, the size of iron) core and protein shell showed the same trend of change, which might be related to not only the iron release) of inner iron core but the dissociation and unfolding of the protein shell. The passway of SZLF recombination is a fast step, which is a conversion process from incompact moltenglobule to compact ferritin. Under the assistant of matrix acidity pH 3.0 and laser, SZLF mixed with horse spleen ferritin(HSF) still has capacity to release) its subunits to form subunit ions for mass analysis by a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer, which indicates that the interaction intensity between the subunits was weaken but they were not unfolded under this pH condition. TEM technology can be applied in studying both dissociation and recombination in ferritin subunits.

The effect of dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum on the activity of digestive enzyme was researched, as fellowing amylase, protease, lipase. The results showed that dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum may increase remarkably the activity of ?-amylase and protease, but decrease efficiently the activity of lipase. The fermentation liquid improves the digestion and absorption of starch and protein, but inhibits the decomposition and absorption of fat, so it can explain the mechanism of Fu-brick tea's health functions.

Objective To sum up the specificity in clinical care of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS),and provide reference for putting forward scientific and effective clinical care project.Methods 200 male schizophrenia patients with rTMS treatment were divided into the research group and the control group with 100 cases in each group randomly.Then,the research group adopted the specific nursing which was obtained from the pre-experiment while the control group adopted the routine care.Moreover,NORS scale was used to evaluate the treatment effect.Changhai Pain Measuring Scale was employed to assess headaches in pre-treatment and post-treatment.Results The data of the research group in NORS scale was obviously lower than the control group,and the difference between two groups had statistical significance.No case occurred adverse reaction in the research group,in contract with many cases with adverse reaction in the control group.Conclusions Specific nursing can reduce complications effectively for schizophrenia patients receiving rTMS treatment,and it is a scientific,effective and mature clinical care method.

BACKGROUND:To repair and reconstruct the joint capsule and surrounding ligaments is one of effective methods against displacement and dislocation after total hip arthroplasty. In recent years, anterolateral total hip arthroplasty has been widely used, but little is reported on the anatomic features of the anterolateral hip joint capsule and iliofemoral ligament. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the anatomic features of the anterolateral hip joint capsule and iliofemoral ligaments, thereby providing anatomic evidence for selecting and optimizing the approach for total hip arthroplasty and for clinical practice. METHODS:Thirty adult cadaver hips fixed with formalin were used for this study. The anterolateral hip joint capsule and the iliofemoral ligaments were dissected and anterolateral hip joint capsules were divided into three sections and nine parts. The average thickness of each part and the average height and width of each section were measured. The anterolateral hip joint capsule was observed by its beginning and ending, course, branch and histological features. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The anterolateral hip joint capsule was tightly connected with the iliofemoral ligaments to form a complex. The thickness of the capsule was varied. The thinnest parts of the complex were BI and BII. In addition, the average height and width of each section were different. The joint capsule originating from the anterior inferior iliac spine and acetabulum was divided into three branches and fixed on the intertrochanteric line. Understanding of the anterolateral hip joint capsule and iliofemoral ligaments may make for the approach selection, design and optimization of total hip arthroplasty.

Objective For further improving the prognosis of childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in China,the treatment efficacies, outcomes and costs of protocols for childhood APL between in developed countries and in our hospital were compared. Methods 30 cases aged ＜15 years were diagnosed according to the FAB classification and detection of PML-RARα rearrangement. From December 1999 to September 2004,sixteen eligible children were treated with an intensive in-house protocol including high-dose Ara-C and anthracycline for post remission treatment. From September 2004 to January 2008,14 cases enrolled were treated with a less intensive protocol modified from the PETHEMA LPA99. Results The 3.5 years EFS was 37.5 % (s-x=0.121) for total 16 patients on in-house protocol. Six patients (37.5 %) abandoned treatment,2 died of intracranial hemorrhage at diagnosis (6.3 %) and sepsis in remission (6.3 %),respectively,and 2 relapsed (12.5 %). The 14 cases treated with modified PETHEMA had a 3.5 years EFS of 79.6 % (s-x=0.136). One died of intracranial hemorrhage at diagnosis (7.1 %) and 1 relapsed (7.1 %). Patients on modified PETHEMA had a significantly higher EFS (P=0.012),lower frequency of sepsis during treatment (7.7 % vs 77.8 %; P=0.0015) and lower hospitalization cost (median,RMB 35 200 vs 150 000; P ＜0.0001) than those on in-house protocol. Conclusion Treatment with the less intensive protocol based on the PETHEMA LPA99 study for childhood APL successively reduced complication of chemotherapy and reduced hospitalization cost without increasing relapses, which led to decreases in treatment-related toxicity and treatment abandonment rate,thus improving overall outcome.

Objective To explore the significance of combined detection of D-Dimer,cardic troponin I(cTnI)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-ProBNP)in acute coronary syndrome and the correlation between them.Methods 143 patients with acute coronary syndrome were selected as the observation group,and 40 CAG negative people as the control group.The difference between the two groups was compared and the correlation was analyzed.According to different diagnostics,patients in the observa-tion group were separated into 3 groups,unstable angina pectoris,non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.The correlation of D-Dimer,cTnI and NT-ProBNP with the severity of coronary artery disease was analyzed.Results The levels of D-Dimer,cTnI and NT-ProBNP in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05 ).The severity of coronary artery disease had positive correlation with the test results (P <0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of D-Dimer,cTnI and NT-ProBNP could help to diagnose the acute coronary syndrome and the test result has a positive correlation with the severity of acute coronary syndrome.

Zebrafish toxicity assessment system is one of the important vertebrate model systems. Zebrafish is playing an increas-ingly important role in the field of toxicology studies because of its small size, short generation cycle, the transparent embryo and high reproductive rate. Now it is widely used in the embryonic derelopmental toxicology, pathological toxicology, environmental toxicology and other areas of toxicology studies with its unique advantages.
