The prognosis of gastric cancer is significantly associated with the disease stage,early diagnosis of gastric cancer is the key to extend the survival time of patients. Nowadays,gastroscopy combined with gastric mucosa biopsy is the most important method to detect early gastric cancer in clinical practice. However,the detection rate is low and requiring the endoscopists to learn the endoscopic morphological characteristics of early gastric cancer,which will help them to find out suspicious cancerous lesions and perform effective biopsy. This article reviewed the morphological risk factors of early gastric cancer under white light endoscopy,so as to provide endoscopists with the capability for diagnosis of early gastric cancer.

MRI and ultrasound technique have improved the diagnosis of glioblastoma and increased clinical value for themselves.Superselective intravascular perfusion chemotherapy/radiotherapy bring less damage,more local effectiveness and less adverse reactions,presenting bright future with involvement of anti-angiogenesis.Mechanisms of drug effect and recurrence of glioblastoma should be put in more emphasis for research work.Reducing diagnostic cost,promoting veracity and reliability of new techniques and intensifying the combination of Superselective intravascular perfusion and chemotherapeutic drugs will provide important significance for researches in the near future.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:284-286)

Selective salpingogram(SSG)and hysterosalpingography(HSG)have achieved fairly reliable diagnostic value. SSG and transcervical fallopian tube recanalization(T-FTR)possess rather credible therapeutic value,long-term effect and low risk. Recanalization rate and pregnancy rate,combining with the measurement of tubal perfusion pressures(TPP)and development of ultrasonic technology,can evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety more generally and objectively. Researches in the future should lay emphasis on developing non-radiologic technique,promoting diagnostic veracity,reducing side effects,and establishing randomly control trials together with consolidating the standardized evaluation criteria.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16: 714-717)

Objective Cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB ) can induce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury , which is bad for cardiac function recovery .The aim of the study was to evaluate the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury effect of breviscapine intravenously injected before CPB in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB . Methods 40 patients scheduled for cardiac valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups :control group and breviscapine group ( n=20).Normal saline 15 mL and breviscapine 0.75 mg/kg was administered with pump within 30 mins after the induction of anesthesia in control group and breviscapine group respectively .Blood samples were taken from jugular vein at each of the five time points: before surgical incision (T0) and at 30mins, at 6, 12, 24h after aortic unclamping (T1-T4) for determination of plasma concentration of car-diac troponin-I (cTnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Results Compared with T0, the cTnI and CK-MB in both groups significantly increased at T 1-T4 and peaked at T 2 , the SOD in both groups significantly decreased at T 1-T4(P<0.05).Compared with control group, cTnI and CK-MB significantly decreased, while SOD activity significantly increased at T1-T4in breviscapine group (P<0.05). Conclusion The intravenous infusion of breviscapine 0.75 mg/kg before the staring of CPB can relieve myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB , and the mechanism may be related to the anti-oxidative stress effect .

Objective To investigate clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT ) in guiding treatment of infection in elderly patients with heart failure .Methods A total of 120 cases of elderly patients with heart failure and infection were divided into control group (50 cases) ,receiving conventional anti-infection treatment ,and observation group(70 cases) ,receiving adjusted anti-infection treat-ment based on serum PCT levels .Treatment efficiency ,cost of treatment ,hospitalization duration and other indicators were com -pared between the two groups .Results Effective rate of observation group was 78 .57% ,which was not significantly different with the 78 .00% of control group ( P > 0 .05) .Cost of treatment ,hospitalization duration ,application time of antibiotics ,antibacterial drug costs ,superinfection and mortality were significantly different between the two groups (P< 0 .05) .After treatment ,levels of e-rythrocyte sedimentation rate ,C-reaction protein ,white blood cells and neutrophil in the two groups were significantly improved (P< 0 .05) .After treatment ,C-reaction protein level of observation group was lower than control group (P < 0 .05) .Conclusion PCT based anti-infection treatment could help shorten the treatment time ,reducing treatment costs and improving outcomes ,and might be worthy of clinical application .

Aim To investigate the effect of chlorogen-ic acid,caffeic acid,and ferulic acid on expression of molecules related with inflammatory response of HMECs induced by activated complement alternative pathway.Methods CVF was used to activate the al-ternative pathway of serum complement.After exposure of HMECs to activate complement for various times, supernatant of cell culture was removed and assayed for content of ICAM-1,IL-6,IL-8,t-PA,and PAI-1 u-sing ELISA kits.The expression of the above mole-cules induced by activated complement was measured after HMECs were pre-treated with 50,100,250 μmol ·L-1 of CGA,CA,and FA.Results After HMECs were exposed to the product of the activated comple-ment alternative pathway,the expression of ICAM-1 , IL-6,IL-8,t-PA,and PAI-1 was up-regulated.The expression of ICAM-1,IL-6,IL-8,t-PA,and PAI-1 was down-regulated by various concentrations of CGA, CA,and FA.ICAM-1 and IL-8 were inhibited most significantly in all molecules mentioned above.CA ex-hibited the best intervention effect,followed by FA. Conclusion Certain concentration of CGA,CA,and FA can inhibit the expression of ICAM-1,IL-6,IL-8, t-PA,and PAI-1 in HMECs induced by the activation of the alternative complement pathway,indicating that CGA,CA,and FA can inhibit inflammatory response of HMECs.

A further observation was conducted on the ultrastructure of mother sporccyst (Ms),daughter sporocyst in the brood chamber (b-Ds),migrating daughter sporccyst (mi-Es) and daughter sporocyst in the liver tissue (1-Ds) of Oncomelania hupensis by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.There are 5 points worthy of mention here,namely:(1)A special structure,microvilli polymerizing cisterna,is found on the tegument of 52-day-old Ms branche in all directions and a tubule-like structure is connected to the matrix of the tegument,The significance of this structure may be dealed with the metabolism and transport of the parasite.(2) The tegumental spines appear on 52-day-old Ms.(3) The function of multilaminated vesicle in the tegument of 1-Ds may be associated with the turning over of the surface coat of the larvae and the copatibiltiy between parasite and molluscan host.(4) Abundant ?-glycogen granules and mitochondria appear in the cytoplasm of parenchyma cell of brood chamber of Ms and Ds.It is proposed that the parenchymal cells not only served as the filling material,but also serve as the nursing cells for the regulation of asexual reproduction of the sporocysts.(5)The orientation of muscle fibers of the head of the mi-Ds and narrow node region of 1-Ds shows a well development of the inner longitudinal fibers adjacent to the outer circular muscle layer.They run anlero-posteriorly or vertically from the dorsal to the ventral.The pattern of muscle fibers may account for the activity of these regions of the parasite.(Figs 1-8)In short,the presentation of microvilli polymerizing cisterna,multilamilated vesicle,?-glycogen granules in parenchymal cell,the genesis of spine and the pattern of muscle fibers of the larval stage of schistosome might be helpful in understanding the asexual reproductive physiology of the parasite.

Objective To establish a method for detection of RhD(+) red blood cells mixed in D-negative blood by flow cytometry(FCM).Method RhD(+) and RhD(-) RBCs were mixed according to predefined ratios.Cells were indirectly labeled,with IgG anti-D labeled as the first antibody,and FITC-anti-IgG F(ab')2 as the second antibody.The percentage of RhD(+) RBCs was determined by FCM,and the best dosage of IgG anti-D was also defined.The ratio of red cells in the two groups,measured by FCM,was compared with the actual ratio.The consistency of method was also evaluated.Results The effective dosage of IgG anti-D was 1∶4,and 50?l/1?106 cells.When the actual percentages of RhD(+) cell among RhD(-) cells were 2.5%-0.312%,the correlation coefficient between the percentages measured by FCM and the actual percentages was 0.987.The same tubes,containing 10% and 2.5% RhD(+) RBCs,were each tested for 10 times,and their coefficient of variation were 3.4%,and 4.9%,respectively.Conclusion The method of quantifying the RhD(+) RBCs in D-negative blood by FCM is feasible and repeatable,which deserves a further clinical application.
