Objective To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and its receptor--vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) in breast cancer tissue and its correlation with metastasis of lymphonodi axillares.Methods Fifty-eight cases of breast cancer samples and 10 cases of tumor adjacent non-carcinomatous tissue were measured by immunohistochemical staining for expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3. Their expression rates were compared between axillary lymph node metastasis and non-metastasis groups.Results The positive rates of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 as well as the number of VEGFR-3 positive vessels were significantly higher than those in lymph node non-metastasis group (87.5% vs 55.9%; 83.3% vs 38.2%; 8.54±2.54 vs 4.73±2.46, respectively).Conclusion The high expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 as well as the increase in the number of VEGFR-3 positive vessels are related to lymph node metastasis of human breast cancer. VEGF-C/VEGFR-3 system may be a new specific target which contributes to blockage of lymphatic metastasis in breast cancer.

Purpose:To study the expression of Ki-67 antigen in normal mucosae,benign and malignant neoplasms of colorectum and its clinical significance. Methods:33 cases of carcinomas,13 cases of benign neoplasms and 13 cases of normal mucosae of colorectum were collected. Ki-67 antigen was detected using flow cytometry.Results:The Ki-67 antigen positive fraction of normal mucosae,benign and malignant neoplasms of colorectum were 2.65%?1.51%,6.38%?2.51%,18.52%?8.53% respectivly, there being significant difference between the groups(P0.05). Conclusions:Ki-67 antigen expression is a valuable marker to distinguish the normal mucosae,benign and malignant neoplasms of colorectum. Ki-67 antigen expression has no relation with tumor size,type of histopathology,Dukes stage,location,length of illness history,age,sex of the colorectal carcinoma patients.

Objective To study the effect of transcranial ultrasound (US) on arterial recanalization in acute ischemic stroke patients.Methods Patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) main stem occlusion after 6 h were randomized into a target group receiving low-frequency,pulse-wave mode,transcranial US for 30 min or a control group.All were treated with intravenous urokinase for thrombolysis.Transcranial doppler sonography (TCD) was used to document vascular occlusion and confirm recanalization at 2 h and 24 h after treatment,and the patients were evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS).Results Recanilization (complete or partial) after 2 hours was significantly higher in the US group (44.4%) compared with the control group ( 10.5% ).Recanalization had occurred in 50% of the US group 24 hours after treatment compared with 15.7% of the controls.At 2 h after treatment,33.3% of the US group and 5.5% of the controls had improved at least 4 points on the NIHSS assessment.After 24 hours the figures were 44.4% and 10.5%.After 3 months,11 subjects from US group (61.1% ) had a modified Rankin score ≤2 compared with 4 subjects (21%) from the control group.Conclusions In acute ischemic stroke,transcranial US has positive effects on recanalization and neural function.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that ankle-foot orthosis can increase the feedback on the input information from receptors in the skin of the foot and leg to improve the ankle joint position sense, and promote brain function reorganization.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y evaluate the effect of ankle-foot orthosis on the improvement of walking in hemiplegic patients.
METHODS:The Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP database were searched for reports of randomized control ed trials of ankle-foot orthosis to improve walking ability in hemiplegic patients, from the date of establishment of each database to June 2013. The randomized control ed trials which met the criteria were included for the Meta-analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 9 randomized control ed trials involving 456 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that, compared with conventional treatment and drug therapy, ankle foot orthosis via the continuous treatment shows certain advantages to improve lower extremity motor function in hemiplegic patients, life skil s and 10-meter maximum walking speed. Due to a limited number of included documents, the remaining indicators such as walking speed, stride difference and balance function were only for appropriate descriptive analysis. The results suggested that, by improving abnormal gait, walking speed, stride frequency, gait cycle, space asymmetry, ankle muscle spasms and balancing, the ankle-foot orthosis could achieve the goal of improving walking function. Ankle-foot orthoses could not be confirmed to exert the role in the fol owing indicators, including time asymmetry, double support phase prolongation and stride length. This evidence shows that ankle-foot orthoses in hemiplegic patients may promote recovery of motor function of the lower limbs and activities of daily living to a certain extent, but the more high-quality, multi-center randomized control ed trials with large samples are necessary.

Objective NAC therapy was used to observe the effect of TNF-?,hs-CRP,PaO2,PaCO2and lung function in patients with COPD,so as to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Methods 65 patients with COPD were recruited and the patients were randomly divided into 2 treatment groups:control group (n=31) and experimental group (n=34). Patients in the two groups received the conventional treatment of COPD in unchanged dosage for the duration of the study except stopping using antibotic drug after infection was resolved. NAC tablets were taken orally at a dose of 600mg once a day in experimental group. After 8 weeks treatment,we appraised lung function and the plasma level of TNF-?,hs-CRP,PaO2 and PaCO2. Results Compared with normal controls,the plasma levels of TNF-? and hs-CRP increased significantly. The higher level of those ,the higher lung function class was in 65 COPD patients,and there was significant effect(P
