AIM: As a human basement membrane-derived inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth, canstatin has been paid great attention since it was isolated and identified in 2000. Canstatin significantly inhibited human endothelial cell migration and proliferation and induced apoptosis, suggesting that it might be a powerful and potential therapeutic molecule for atherosclerosis,unstable angina and tumor.

Objective:To investigate the effects of monotherapy of SSRI and SSRI with psychotherapy on patients of somatoform disorders.Methods:96 patients who met the criteria of CCMD-3 for somatoform disorders were divided into three groups:group one taking Fluoxetine only;group two taking Fluoxetine and a small dose of Olanzapine;group three combining the above two medicines with Gestalt psychotherapy.Before treatment and after three months' treatment,the effects of each group were evaluated by scores of HAMD.Results:According to the effective rate within each group(53.1%、61.8% and 96.7%),there was significantly differences in three groups after three months treatment(?2=15.5,P

Objective To evaluate the effect of simpler and chemotherapeutic renal artery embolizations in the treatment of renal carcinoma preoperatively Methods 19 patients including simpler renal artery embolizaiton group( n =8) and chemotherapeutic renal artery embolization group( n =11) were retrospectively studied. The surgical procedures were recorded and pathology sections were observed for all the patients. Results All the preoperative embolization were achieved successfully. We found vessels obliteration of the renal carcinoma in the operation. In pathology, the tumor had clear border with the necrosis. Conclusions Preoperative renal artery embolization could decrease the risk in operation, and had positive effects on the prognosis of these patients.

AIM:To observe the effect of preconditioning with pioglitazone on ischemia reperfusion/hypoxia reoxygenation-induced mitochondrial ultramicro-structure and membrane potential in rats. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham-operated (SO) group, ischemia reperfusion (IR) group, pioglitazone preconditioning group (Pio-P) and 5-HD+pioglitazone (5-HD+Pio) group. Apart from the SO group, IR, Pio-P and 5-HD+Pio groups were subjected to 30 min ischemia and 4 h reperfusion. The heart was quickly removed for observing the structure of mitochondria and measurement of the apoptosis index (AI) by TUNEL. Primary cultured cardiomyocytes of Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, hypoxic reoxygenation (HR) and different concentrations of Pio-P group. JC-1 staining flowcytometry was adopted to examine mitochondrial membrane potential (?m). RESULTS: The injury of mitochondrial structure in IR group was severer than that in Pio-P group, while the difference between 5-HD+Pio group and IR group was not evident. Flameng score in Pio-P group(1.62?0.60) was significantly lower than that in IR group (2.75?1.09), P0.05). CONCLUSION: Pioglitazone protects the heart from ischemia reperfusion/ hypoxia reoxygenation injury evidenced by improving mitochondrial ultrastructure and lessening the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and decreasing apoptosis. The cardioprotective effects can be inhibited by the blocker of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the average amplitude of swallowing-related muscles during pharyngeal swallowing and age and swallow model of healthy adults in different age groups.Methods A total of 200 healthy adults were recruited and divided into 4 age groups:group A (18 ～ 30 years old,n =59),group B (30～50 years old,n=50),group C (50 ～70 years old,n=49) and group D (70 years old,n=40).Surface electromyography was used to acquired the average amplitude of electrical activity of the muscles during three swallow models:resting state,voluntary single swallows of saliva (dry swallowing),voluntary single swallows of 5 ml water at once(wet swallowing)and voluntary single swallows 20 ml water at once.The mean value of the average amplitude of normal adults of different ages were calculated and analyzed.Results ①Intergroup comparison showed no difference in the average amplitude of submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles among the 4 age groups (P ＞ 0.05) in all the three swallowing models ;②Intra-group comparison showed that,there were no statistical differences in the average amplitude of submental muscles among the three swallow models between groups A and B (P ＞ 0.05).In group C,there were no statistical differences between dry swallowing and wet swallowing of 5 ml of water in terms of the average amplitude of submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles during dry swallowing.(P ＞ 0.05),however,but there existed statistical differences in terms of the average amplitude of submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles,when comparing dry swallowing with voluntary single swallowing 20 ml water at once(P ＜ 0.05).The average amplitude of submental muscles and infrahyoid muscles during swallowing of 20 ml water were significantly higher than that during wet swallowing(P ＜0.05).In group D,there was no difference between drying swallow and wet swallowing(P ＞ 0.05)in terms of the mean sEMG amplitude of the muscles,but all lower than swallowing 20 ml of water,with a statistically significant differences(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The sEMG amplitude in swallowing-related muscles during pharyngeal swallowing is not related to age,but swallowing models.

Methods The mRNA expression level and protein level of survivin, hIAP-1 (human IAP-1), hIAP-2 (human IAP-2), and XIAP (X chromosome-linked IAP) in 36 NSCLC patients and 36 controls were analyzed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. Results High survivin mRNA expression were detected in 32 out of 36 patients, but not in controls. 26/36 NSCLC showed high XIAP mRNA expression and were significantly higher than those with benign diseases (P
