Tumor metastasis to sentinel lymph nodes represents the first step of tumor dissemination in most human cancers and serves as a major prognostic indicator for disease progression.Recent studies have revealed that tumor lymphangiogenesisis correlated with lymph node metastasis in experimental cancer models and in several types of human Cancers.Metastatic tumor cells may continue to promote lymphatic vessel growth even after their metastasis to sentinel lymph nodes,likely promoting further cancer spread.Vascular endothelial growth factor-C(VEGF-C)and VEGF-D are the first specific lymphangiogenesis factor identified,and a large number of clinical studies have shown a correlation between tumor expression of VEGF-C or VEGF-D and lymph node metastasis.Additional tumor lymphangiogenesis factors have been recently identifled,including VEGF-A.Importantly,blockade of the VEGFR-3 pathway by specific antibodies,by soluble receptor constructs,and by small molecule kinase iubibitors efficiently inhibits experimental tumor lymphangiogenesis and metastasis and might also represent a novel therapeutic avenue for the treatment of human cancers.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of edaravone combined with Shuxuetong in treatment of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods120 cases of acute cerebral infarction,according to the different treatment methods,were divided into two groups.The conventional treatment was given in two groups,the control group plus Chuanqiong hydrochloride injection,and the observation group adopted edaravone and Shuxuetong.The clinical efficacy,activities of daily living(ADL) and neurological deficit score were compared between two groups.ResultsThere were 25 cases of basic recovery,18 cases of significant progress,progress in 12 cases in the observation group,total effective rate was 91.7％ (55/60),the control group was 75.0％ (45/60),the difference was statistically significant ( x2 =6.86,P ＜ 0.05 ).Observation group had statistically significant difference than the control group between ADL and neurological deficit scores ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionOn the basis of conventional therapy,the use of edaravone combined with Shuxuetong for acute ischemic stroke patients could significantly promote the recovery of neurological function and was worthy of promotion.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine tumor.Clinical manifestations are varied with multiple organs involved,mainly due to hypercalcemia.So far the etiology and pathogenesis of parathyroid carcinoma are still unclear and preoperatively diagnosis is difficult.Technetium-99 m sestamibi scan and ultrasound can help to find the early lesions.Complete surgical resection with suspicious involved lymph nodes is the recommended treatment.Parathyroid carcinoma is insensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.New immune therapy yields unsure efficacy.Therapeutic effect and prognosis mainly depend on primary surgical resection of the tumor.The disease recurs in more than 50％ of patients with poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the method to prevent the displacement of tissue expander implanted between the panniculus carnosus and deep fasia in rabbits .Method 40 rabbits were divided into two groups randomly: the experimental group and the control group .Through an incision on the back , a pocket was made by dissecting between the rabbit panniculus carnosus and deep fasia .The panniculus carnosus at the pocket boundary were sutured with the deep fascia inside the pocket by interrupted 3-0 sutures.A 50 mL kidney-shaped tissue expander was implanted .The expander was inflated with 10 mL saline after the wound was sutured .7 days after implantation , black tattoos were made on the skin around the expander to mark the site of expander .Two months after implantation , the expanders in the experimental group were inflated with 10 mL saline weekly to a total of 140 mL.7 days after implantation the expanders of control group were inflated with 10 mL saline weekly to a total of 140 mL.The incidence of expander displacement , dehiscence of incision , reversal of injection pot and death were recorded .Results There was no expander displacement in the 19 rabbits of experimental group .All the expanders were located within the tattoo area .There was no expander displacement in 11 rabbits of the control group .4 expanders of the control group moved from the back to belly .The difference between them was statistically significant ( P <0.05 ) .The incidence of dehiscence of incision in the experimental group was not significantly lower than that in the control group ( P >0.05 ) .Meanwhile there was no significant difference in the incidences of reversal of injection pot , infections and deaths ( P >0.05 for all ) .Conclusions Sutures between the panniculus carnosus and the deep fascia at the pocket boundary asisted by delayed inflating can prevent the displacement of tissue expander implanted between the panniculus carnosus and deep fasia in rabbits , thus to obtain effective expansion .

The author made a deep analysis to the enrollment situation in the College of Continuing Education, Henan University of TCM, in 2008. The analysis showed that the enrollment source of the undergraduate students is better than the junior college student; Enrollment source of the preponderance professions of TCM such as traditional Chinese medicine, Integrated Chinese and Western medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion and Tuina of Chinese medicine, and science of Chinese material medica is better than non-preponderance profession; The enrollment source of local city is better than other cities. Thus we advocate: paying adequate attention to the enrollment of undergraduate students, increasing the teaching level; setting up preponderance professions of TCM, highlighting characteristics of schooling ; digging enrollment source of local area, and expanding enrollment source from other cities.

Objective To investigate the correlation between HDL-C/TG ratio and cardiovascular risk in elderly patients with hypertension, in order to set up an evaluation criterion which may objectively assess the cardiovascular risk in elderly population. Methods A survey was carried out among 2011 subjects aged 60 or over, who received health examination in the General Hospital of PLA in May 2008. Hypertension was diagnosed by using the definition recommended by WHO/ISH. The subjects were divided into 4 groups (male hypertesion group, male control group, female hypertension group and female control group) according to their gender and with or without hypertension. The parameters of hematology (systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure) and the indicators of lipidemia [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)] were measured, and HDL-C/TG ratio was calculated. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the indicators of lipidemia and cardiovascular risk. Results In both male and female hypertension groups, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure showed significant differences compared with those of the control groups gender-wise (P0.05). Other indicators of lipidemia showed no significant differences between hypertension group and control group. Logistic regression analysis showed that HDL-C/TG ratio was significantly correlated to the cardiovascular risk (P
