Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) was a common complica-tion of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Recent studies have suggested that the origin of this disease is related to seceration of tumor cells and application of medecine. The inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion can lead to disturbance of metabolism of water and sodium, resulting in hyponatremia. Because the symp-toms are atypical, the diagnosis is difficult. Many cases are misdiagnosed or misseddiagnosed. The primary tumor must be treated and the restriction of water intake is the main and effective method to deal with SIADH. Prognosis of SCLC patients with SIADH is poor in most reports.

Early enteral nutrition (EN) is one of important methods for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and it has been used over the world. In this article, different choices of nutrition opportunity, location of intubation and merits and defects of EN were reviewed. The aim of this review is to provide the evidence for EN being applied widely in clinic.

The secondary development of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is an important content of TCM modernization process, as well as an important path for developing new TCM drugs. Under the guidance of the system theory, in response to the lack of the overall guideline and practical methods for the secondary development of TCMs at present, we introduced the overall thought of the secondary development of major TCM varieties, as well as the roles and contents of clinical research, pharmacology and pharmaceutics in the process of the secondary development of major TCM varieties, so as to provide systematic strategies and methods for the development of major TCM varieties.

The secondary development of major traditional Chinese medicine varieties is one of important links during the modernization, scientification and standardization of traditional Chinese medicines. How to accurately and effectively identify the pharmacodynamic material basis of original formulae becomes the primary problem in the secondary development, as well as the bottleneck in the modernization development of traditional Chinese medicines. On the basis of the existing experimental methods, and according to the study thought that the multi-component and complex effects of traditional Chinese medicine components need to combine multi-disciplinary methods and technologies, we propose the study thought of the material basis of secondary development of major traditional Chinese medicine varieties based on the combination of in vivo and in vitro experiments. It is believed that studies on material basis needs three links, namely identification, screening and verification, and in vivo and in vitro study method corresponding to each link is mutually complemented and verified. Finally, the accurate and reliable material basis is selected. This thought provides reference for the secondary development of major traditional Chinese medicine varieties and studies on compound material basis.

3 cm) were 69.4%(68 /98), 69.1%(67 /97) and 52.9%(36 /68), respectively, but not in benign disease and normal mammary gland specimens. The positive rates of VEGF-C in the centre and borderline of carcinoma in lymph node metastasis group 75.0%(51/68), 76.1%(51/67) were significantly higher than that of no metastasis group 25.0%(17/68),23.9%(16/67), P

Objective To study the association of ER? expression with the expression of hormonal receptor and prognostic biomarkers.Methods The expressions of ER?,ER?,PR,Ki-67,HER-2/neu and p53 were detected in tissue samples from 109 breast cancer patients by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray slides.The histologic grade,tumor size and lymph node metastasis status of 109 cases of breast cancer were recorded and served as comparison indexes.Results ER? was expressed in benign epithelium and stroma cells,and breast cancer cells in 59% breast cancer tissues of different histologic types.ER? was coexpressed with ER? in 45% breast cancer tissues.ER? expression was found a statistically significant association with HER-2/neu(P

Objective:To explore the correlation among plasma levels of fibrinogen (Fg) ,D-dimer (DD) and antithrombin III (ATIII ) and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in AMI patients .Methods:A total of 147 AMI patients treated in our de‐partment from Jan 2012 to Dec 2014 were enrolled as AMI group ,another 120 patients without myocardial infarction (MI) were treated as control group .According to ACS severity ,AMI group was further divided into normal group (n=22) ,mild group (n=30) ,moderate group (n=40) and severe group (n=55) .Plasma levels of Fg ,DD and ATIII ,and carotid inti‐ma-media thickness (IMT) were measured and compared among all groups .Results:Compared with control group ,there were significant rise in plasma levels of Fg [ (3.12 ± 0.87) g/L vs .(5.01 ± 1.38) g/L] ,DD [ (317 ± 50)μg/L vs .(1530 ± 218)μg/L] and carotid IMT [(0.86 ± 0.41) mm vs .(1.12 ± 0.29) mm] ,and significant reduction in plasma AT Ⅲ level [ (87 ± 18)% vs .(76 ± 19)% ] in AMI group , P<0.01 all. Compared with normal group ,there were significant rise in plasma levels of Fg and DD ,and significant reduction in plasma ATIII level in moderate group and severe group , P<0.05 or <0.01. Spearman correlation analysis indicated that plasma Fg and DD levels were significant positively correlated with CAS severity (r=0.426 ,0.535 ,P<0.01 both) ,ATIII level was significant inversely correlated with CAS severity in AMI patients ,(r= -0.438 ,P=0.005) .Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that plasma Fg and DD levels were independent risk factors for MI (OR=2.836 ,2.231 , P<0.01 both) ,and plasma ATIII level was independent protective factor for MI (OR=0.899 , P=0.014 ) .Conclusion:Plasma Fg and DD levels are independent risk factors for MI and plasma ATIII level is independent protective factor for MI .

Aim To observe the effect of extracts of ginkgo biloba leaves(GbE) on platelet adhesion and thrombosis. Methods The platelet adhesion was assayed by rotating glass-globe method. The thrombogenesis method in artery-vein bypass was applied to observe thrombosis in vivo. The Chandler method was applied to induce thrombosis in vitro.The tail bleeding time was recorded by shearing tail method.Results GbE significantly decreased platelet adherence rate in rabbits, decreased the weight of thrombus produced in artery-vein bypass in rabbits, shortened the length and reduced dry weight of thrombus of rats in vitro,prolonged the tail bleeding time in mice.Conclusion GbE inhibits the platelet adhesion and thrombosis.
