Cervical cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in females worldwide. Despite the treatment methods of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are maturing, the prognosis of patients with recurrent, advanced or metastatic cervical cancer remains poor. Molecular targeted therapy provides new hope for these patients. This review focuses on the advances in agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor pathway, epidermal growth factor receptor, mammalian target of rapamycin, histone deacetylases and cyclooxygenase-2 in cervical cancer.

Objective To induce experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG) rabbits by using T?125～147 Methods Peptides T?125～147 were synthesized referring to the residue sequence of acetylcholine receptor of Torpedo California and the rabbits were inoculated with the peptides Clinical manifestation was graded in 4 levels Electrophysiological function was assessed by repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) and single fibre electromyography (SFEMG) tests Anti peptides antibodies were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Student t test was used to analyze the difference between the EAMG and healthy rabbits Results Following the second inoculation,the rabbits appeared weakness Clinical symptoms were improved by neostigmine At 3,5 and 10 Hz,the decrement of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and the mean jitter (MCD) of the immunized rabbits were higher than in the healthy ones The percentage of decrement of CMAP in order of the control group and the T?125～147 group were:3 Hz: 1 625?1 317,25 375?7 945; 5 Hz: 2 000?1 732,25 625?9 102; 10 Hz: 1 750?1 392,28 875?8 709.Following the above sequence,the MCD were:3 Hz: (9 875?1 126) ?s,(25 875?7 945) ?s; 5 Hz: (11 375?0 916) ?s,(27 500?3 381) ?s; 10 Hz: (12 375?1 061) ?s,(31 000?4 811) ?s Anti peptide antibodies in immunized groups were significantly higher than those in the control group Conclusion T?125～147 might be served as the immunogenic to induce EAMG in rabbits,accompanied by elevation of anti peptide antibodies and the blockage of neuromuscular transmission

The abnormal expression of MUC15, a novel cell membrane-associated mucin, has been reported to predict poor survival in several cancers. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of MUC15 in glioma and its correlation with clinicopathological features, including the survival of patients with glioma. The mRNA expression level of MUC15 was determined by RT-PCR, quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting in seven normal brain tissues and seven glioma tissues, respectively. The protein expression level of MUC15 was immunohistochemically detected in paraffin-embedded samples of 317 glioma tissues and 115 noncancerous brain tissues. The association of MUC15 expression levels with the clinicopathologic features and the prognosis was analyzed. The results showed that both mRNA and protein levels of MUC15 were significantly increased in glioma as compared with those in noncancerous brain tissue. Moreover, MUC15 overexpression was positively correlated with the advanced clinical stages of glioam patients (P<0.01). Furthermore, MUC15 expression levels were significantly correlated with the progression of glioma (P<0.001). Survival analysis indicated that glioma patients with higher MUC15 expression had a significantly shorter overall and 5-year survival time than those with low MUC15 expression. Multivariate analysis suggested that MUC15 overexpression was an independent factor for prognosis (hazard risk: 3.216; P=0.009). It was concluded that MUC15 is overexpressed in glioma tissues. Its overexpression correlates with tumor progression and it is a potentially unfavorable prognostic factor for patients with glioma.

Tis study discusses the applicable relationship between Buyang-huanwu decoction and hemodynamic cerebral infarction from pathogenesis of Qi asthenia causing blood stasis.pathological features of hemodynamic cerebral infarction and the function and mechanism of Buyang-huanwu decoction and so on.It also investigates the methods of applying Buyang-huanwu decoction to treat hemodynamic cerebral infarction from such aspects as dose,occasion,contraindication and attentions.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of Huayutongmai decoction in treating patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques .Methods Prospectively analyzed 102 cases with carotid atherosclerotic plaques were divided into the control group and observation group according to random number table method ,51 cases were in each group.The patients in the control group were given the Simvastatin Tablet only ,and the patients in the observation group were given the treatment of Huayutongmai decoction .The CAD,IMT,volume of plaque,PI and lipid levels were detected.The clinical efficacy and adverse reaction were observed after treatment of three months .Results After treatment of three months,the CAD,IMT,volume of plaque,PI(t=0.97,1.83,0.65,1.43) and levels of lipid(TG, TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and AI,t=1.86,1.88,1.42,1.85,1.14) of the observation group were better than those of the control group,but with no significant(all P>0.05).Conclusion Huayutongmai decoction in treating patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques has better clinical efficacy ,can improve lipid metabolism ,eliminate and stabilize CAS to some extent ,which is worthy of clinical application .
