Through a congenital cleft hand cleft foot line analysis of clinical manifestations, the mode of inherit-ance, clinical type of 15 patients. It was found that the pedigrees of congenital foot deformity in patients with cleft hand cleft hand split foot crack were typical, and non-syndromic. The disease presents the typical pedigree body autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, clinical manifestations of the great differences between patients, the pres-ence of significant genetic heterogeneity.

Objection To estabish a HPLC methold for determining the contents of pinoresinol diglucoside and chlorogenic acid in Sam Soup and its solid decoction. Methods Chromatographic column was Ultimate XB-C18 reversed-phase chromatography column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). Mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.4% glacial acetic acid with gradient elutim. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength was 277 nm, and column temperature was 40 ℃. Results The pinoresinol diglucoside and showed good linear relationship in the range of 5.0-50.0 μg, r =0.999 9 (n =6), and chlorogenic acid showed linear relationship in the range of 5.4-54.0 μg, r=0.999 6 (n=6). The average recoveries of pinoresinol diglucoside and chlorogenic acid were 98.75% (RSD=1.39%) and 101.11% (RSD=2.69%), respectively. Conclusion The established method was accurate and reliable. The contents of pinoresinol diglucoside and chlorogenic acid in solid decoction are higher than traditional decoction of Sam Soup.

Objective To investigate some specific fluorescent substances in gastric juice from patients with gastric carcinoma and to establish biomarkers for the detection of gastric cancer. Methods We collected gastric juice from 10 patients with gastric carcinoma and 10 patients without gastric carcinoma respectively. After being condensed, the specimens of gastric juice were analyzed by means of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We collected the specific fluorescent substance in the retention time of 11.5-12.5 min in fluorescence spectra of HPLC and then detected them through mass spectrometry. Comparing such spectra with those of L-tryptophan, we attempted to find the principle component of the fluorescent substances. Results There was a specific substance in gastric juice in the retention time of 11.5-12.5 min in fluorescent spectra of HPLC, which was more abundant in gastric malignancy than in gastric benigh diseases. With the mass charge ratio(m/z)of 205, the substance had the same mass spectrum as shown in the third level of L-tryptophan, which was confirmed by mass spectrometry. This substance was identified to be L-tryptophan. Conclusions L-tryptophan is one of the specific fluorescent substances in gastric juice from patients with gastric carcinoma.

Objective] To prove the modified Maxingshigan Decoction(modified MXSGD) intervening radiation induced lung injury(RILI) through the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway by selectively silencing the TGF-β1 gene. [Methods] (1)Total of 18 clean SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:Chinese medicine group treated with modified MXSGD and normal control group treated with saline. The serum was made after 3 days of taking drugs to prepare medicated serum. (2) The alveolar typeⅡcells were cultured. The total dose of radiation to cell was 8Gy, frequency 3.64Gy/min. The medicated serum was given to each group respectively. (3) After silencing TGF-β1 gene with RNA interference technology, the level of TGF-β1, PAI-1, CTGFmRNA was analyzed by PCR and the protein expression of Smads was measured by Western-blot. [Results] (1) Compared with rat serum group, the expressions of TGF-β1 mRNA, P-Smad2 in 10%medicated serum group were down-regulation or deceased(P<0.05).(2) Compared with rat serum group, the transcription levels of TGF-β1, and PAI-1 and CTGF were obviously suppressed after silencing TGF-β gene(P<0.05). (3) There was no significance effect on the expression of P-Smad2, P-Smad3, PAI-1mRNA and CTGF mRNA in both 10%medicated serum+siRNA group and rat serum+siRNA group(P>0.05). (4) Compared with rat serum+siRNA, the expression of Smad6 and Smad7 was increased in 10%medicated serum+siRNA group. The differences between the two groups were significant(P<0.05, P<0.01). [Conclusion] Modified MXSGD may intervene the RILI by regulating TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in bullous pempbigoid (BP) blister fluid on the secretion of chemokines by human keratinocytes. Methods IgG was obtained from the blister fluid of patients with bullous pemphigoid and sera of normal human controls, then purified by sequential precipitation with caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate. The immunological activity of blister fluid was tested before and after the purification by BP180 ELISA kit. Keratinocytes were isolated from the foreskin tissue of yong adults, and subjected to primary culture. After 3 passages, the primary keratinocytes were harvested and subcultured in the presence of purified IgG of 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 g/L, respectively, for 24 hours, or IgG of 4 g/L for 3, 6, 12, 24 hours, respectively, followed by the detection of levels of eotaxin, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and interleukin (IL)-8 in the supemate of keratinocytes by ELISA. Results The valence of IgG remained unchanged after the purification with caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate. Compared with IgG from the sera of normal controls, that from bullous pemphigoid blister fluid sig- nificantly enhanced the secretion of IL-8 by keratinocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner (both P < 0.01 ). Neither eotaxin nor MCP-1 was detected in the supemate of control IgG-treated, BP IgG-treated or untreated keratinocytes. Condusions The IgG in BP blister fluid has been proved to stimulate the secretion of IL-8 by cultured human keratinocytes, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of BP.

Objective To investigate the effect of ANX A1 on the biological characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinom cells by interfering with the expression of Annexina A1 (ANX A1) in papillary thyroid carcinoma cells through small interfering RNAs (siRNA).Methods The designed highly efficient siRNA was used to conduct the specific interfence on ANXA1 expression in the papillary thyroid carcinoma TPC-1 cells.The effect of ANXA1 on TPC-1 apoptosis in PTC was observed by flow cytometry.Results The designed siRAN could efficiently inhibit the expression of ANXA1 mRNA in PTC,enhanced the cell apoptosis in TPC-1 cells in vitro.Conclusion siRNA can interfere with the expression of ANXA1 and promote the apoptosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma which suggesting that ANXA1 may be an important biological target for the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To analyse the normal helical CT appearances of the bronchial stump or anastomosis after pulmonectomy for central bronchial carcinoma.Methods The available 110 contrast-enhanced spiral CT images in 55 patients undergone different surgical procedures for central bronchial carcinoma were evaluated retrospectively.Results The CT findings of bronchial anastomosis in shape appeared as smooth,concave and convex,sharp angle,obtuse angle,spininess,irregulated or short tube.The thickness of anastomosis was (3.26?1.46) mm.Conclusion Spiral CT can display the bronchial anastomosis clearly after pulmonectomy for central bronchial carcinoma.

Objective To assess the usefulness of spiral CT examination in detecting the local recurrence and the metastatic lymph nodes of chest in the patients with post-pulmonectomy for central lung cancer.Methods The data of 110 contrast spiral CT of chest in 55 patientswith central bronchial carcinoma post-operation were retrospectively analysed.Results 12 person-time in 9 cases recurred in thebronchial stump or anastomose.The short diameter of lymph nodes in the thorax ≥1 cm was showed in 33 person-time of 26 cases,of them,14 cases was considered as metastasis in combination with the clinical data.Conclusion Spiral CT is the one of the best examination indetecting the post-operation recurrence in the patients with central bronchial carcinoma,but it is still of limitation in evaluating the nature of lymph nodes.
