Objective: To investigate the expression of molecular marker ABCG2 of stem cells and tumor angiogenesis-related gene products including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD34 and very late antigen alfa-2 (VLA-2α) in human glioma-bearing nude mice and observe the patterns of angiogenesis in transplanted tumors by CD34-PAS double staining. Methods: The human glioma cells were subcutaneously transplanted in 30 nude mice. Six normal brain tissues were as controls. The hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical examination were performed to determine the positive rate and the hot-spot of gene product expression. The patterns of angiogenesis were observed under light microscope. Results: The positive rates of ABCG2, VEGF, and VLA-2α expression were all 100% in transplanted tumors. The average percentage of positive cells was (3. 93 ± 1. 438)%, (34. 84 ± 6.212)% (30.33 ± 4.428)%, respectively. The value of micro-vascular density (MVD) labeled by CD34 averaged at 29. 78 ± 5.88. All the three microcirculation patterns, endothelium-dependent vessels, mosaic vessels and vasculogenic mimicry, were present in xenografted human glioma tissue samples. Conclusions: The ABCG2-overexpressed cells tended to be located close to blood vessels. VEGF and VLA-2α play an important role in angiogenesis of transplanted tumors in nude mice. There exist three different microcirculation patterns in high malignant transplanted tumors.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of cell free fetal DNA(cffDNA)-based noninvasive prenatal diagnosis,we developed a precise technique for fetal sex determining region of Y chromosome(SRY)gene detection using size-fractionated cell-free DNA in maternal plasma.Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected form 117 pregnant women.cffDNA was extracted based on a column absorbent method and isolated by agarose gel electrophoresis.A dulex-polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detected SRY gene and glycerol-dehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH)gene.Results Both SRY and GAPDH gene were detected in 86 cffDNA samples from women bearing male fetuses.And only GAPDH gene was detected in 71 cffDNA samples from women bearing female fetuses.These results had a coincidence whit those of villus or amniotic fluid samples.The specificity and sensitivity reached 100%(117/117)and 100%(66/66),respectively.Conclusion By agarose gel electrophoresis,re-extratedand and dulex PCR,size-fractionated cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma can be selective enriched and used to noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of sex-linked disorders and single gene disorders.

Objective To discuss the application effect of clinical nursing pathway (CNP) in patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods 168 patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy were analyzed from January 2009 to March 2011.They were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 84 patients in each group.The control group adopted traditional nursing mode,and the experimental group adopted clinical nursing pathway.Hospitalization time,hospital expenses,untoward effect,mastering of health knowledge,satisfaction degree of patients were analyzed. Results Hospitalization time,hospital expenses,untoward effect,mastering of health knowledge and satisfaction degree were better in the experimental group than those of the control group. Conclusions Application of clinical nursing pathway in nursing quality management can shorten hospitalization time,and reduce hospital expenses,promote mastering of health knowledge,and improve satisfaction degree of patients and their families with nursing service.

Platelet membrane glycoproteins play a key role in the processes of platelet adhesion,activation and aggregation and thrombosis.Many studies have shown that platelet membrane glycoprotein gene polymorphisms are associated with ischemic stroke.This article reviews the relationship between platelet membrane glycoprotein gene polymorphisms and ischemic stroke.

Objective This paper aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative embolization on the intraoperative blood loss of sacrum chordoma.Methods forty patients involved with the spinal chordoma were retrospectively analyzed in this study.The preoperative embolization group consisted of 16 sacrum chordoma patients were embolizationed by gelatin sponge particles (10 male and6 female)age from 35 to 71 years old,(mean 57.9 years) ; and the control group consisted of 4 sacrum chordoma patients (3 male and 1 female),age from 43 to 61 years old(mean 51.8 years).analyzed the predictive value of preoperative embolization in correlation with the intraoperative blood loss.Results The mean blood loss (2025.0 ±818.5)ml of sacrum chordoma in the preoperative embolization group was insignificantly than that (1950.0 ± 802.1) ml in the control group,(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The study shows that the preoperative feeding artery embolization of the spinal tumor has no significant effect on the intraoperative blood loss in the surgical excision of the sacrum chordoma.

AIM: To study the dermal toxicity and absorption of Triptolide Compound Cream. METHODS: 2% azone+1% volatile oil of twig from Camellia. oleifera was used as permeation enhancer to prepare Triptolide Compound Cream. Acute dermal toxicity, irritation a sensitization test on mouse were carried out. And mouse skin in vitro was applied for studying the administration. RESULTS: This compound cream had no acute toxicity, irritation or hypersensitive effects. 2% azone+1% volatile oil had more powerful enhancement effects, after 12 h, amont of drug delivery/unit area Q/( μg/cm~2) and absorption percentage Q% of tfiptolide and meloxican in the preparation reached a platea conventration. The results also showed that there was a good linear correlation between the accumulative permeated amount per unit area and the time. CONCLUSION: The study showed that Triptolide Compound Cream has no toxicity on skin, and there is a good dermal absorption.

ICH GCP requires that all information of clinical trial should be recorded, processed, and stored in a way that allows the accurate reporting, interpretation and verification. A trial master file (TMF) contains all paper or electronic records/documentations related to a clinical trial. As a tool of the retrospective analysis, the TMF profile should be able to reproduce the full procedure of the trial completely. As a part of TMF profiles, both the accuracy and completeness of clinical data management documentation are important in data integrity. It is helpful to learn the workflow of clinical data management in different stage of a clinical trial, to understand which documents are essential, and why the documentation of clinical data management is important for data integrity. This paper elaborates how to perform the good documentation practice of clinical data management, and suggests that both the precise and efficient document management and regular quality control may ensure the high quality of clinical data documentation management on the basis of an intensive awareness of the overall process of clinical data management.
