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.

This paper is aimed to study the differences of allelopathic effects of Panax notoginseng under different allelopathic chemicals resources and selection of appropriate rotation crops. The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction ( AMMI) model had been used to evaluate the stability of allelopathic effects of P. notoginseng on the varieties of corn, wheat and rice properly. The model could use not only to evaluate the stability of non-regional trial data but also explore the interaction between the rotation crop genotypes and donor substances more efficiently. Meanwhile, correspondence analysis can be used in the AMMI to evaluate genotype stability and donor substances. Ejingza No. 1 (g6) had stronger allelopathic effects with high stability, but Yunrui No. 1 (g9) which was appropriate rotation crop genotype, had weaker allelopathic effects with high stability. These findings will aid in choosing appropriate rotation crops and establishing proper rotation system.

OBJECTIVE: To share the process of analysis and intervene the adverse drug reaction (ADR) caused by octreotide, and to provide reference for the work mode of clinical pharmacist. METHODS: One case of hypoglycemia possibly caused by octreotide was discovered. The clinical pharmacist recommend the doctor to replace octreotide as somatostatin after a review of the relevant information and literatures. Then the clinical pharmacist investigated awareness of hypoglycemia ADR of octreotide among the ICU doctors, and introduced the ADR of octreotide and the difference between octreotide and somatostatin among them. RESULTS: After the intervention, the hypoglycemia was corrected and the patient was cured and clinical pharmacists' working mode was identified. CONCLUSION: Clinically, pharmacists should not only have good professional knowledge, but also master the ways and means of communication, in addition to assisting doctors monitoring of adverse drug reactions, also need to continue to explore the work mode.

Objective To determine the dietary nutritional status of rural residents in Midwestern Shandong Province,in order to improve the dietary pattern and health status of them.Method 11 987 residents,from 10 273 households,were included in this study by multi-stage randomized cluster sampling in 8 counties located in Midwestern Shandong Province.Questionnaire of Food Frequency (QFF) was applied to collect the information about the amount and frequency of food consumed by the subjects in the past year.Results The average intake of cereal,vegetable,fruit,meat,egg,milk,bean,oil and salt per reference man per day was 553.9 g,310.6 g,58.2 g, 36.3 g,50.1 g,16.7 g,34.4 g,44.8 g and 12.3 g,respectively.The average intake of energy,carbohydrate,protein,fat and dietary fiber per reference man per day was 12 095.6 kJ,451.8 g,85.6 g,78.8 g and 18.7 g as well Cereal food provides 66.1% of total energy; however,the meat provides only 6.6% of that.Carbohydrate,protein and fat amount to around 63.2%,12.0% and 24.8% of total energy, respectively.24.0% of fat intake was from animal food,while 76% of that was from vegetable food.Conclusions The intake of energy, protein,fat was sufficient for these subjects;however,the intake of vegetable,fruit,bean and meat was lower than the dietary reference intake.Moreover,oil and salt intake in these subjects was much higher than Chinese Recommended Nutrient Intakes.Thus,the amelioration of dietary pattern in rural residents will be an important task for nutrition workers in rural area of Midwestern part of Shandong Province in the future.

Objective To investigate the 5-and 10-year survival and complications of patients with stage Ⅱb cervical carcinoma treated by pre-operative photon radiotherapy (POPRT) plus brachytherapy (192Ir) and selective lymphadenectomy hysterectomy (SLH) plus intra-operative electron radiotherapy (IOERT). Methods From February 1997 to May 2007, 160 patients with stage Ⅱb cervical carcinoma were treated by POPRT of 20 Gy in 10 fractions to the whole pelvis, 192Ir brachytherapy of 14 Gy in 2fractions, followed by IOERT of 18 -20 Gy to the whole pelvis during SLH one week after. Results The follow-up rate was 98.1%. The number of patients followed-up for 5 and 10 years was 143 and 135,respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate, disease-free survival rate and local control rate of all patients were 89.4%, 86. 3% and 96. 3%, with the corresponding 10-year rates of 84.4%, 81.0% and 95.0%,respectively. The radiation-induced rectitis and cystitis were 5.0% and 0. 6%, respectivly. The rate of hydronephrosis and lower extremity edema was 6. 3% and 1.3%, respectively. Conclusions Combination of EBRT plus 192Ir brachytherapy and SLH plus IOERT could improve the survival and local control of patiens with cervical carcinoma, with only a few side effects.

OBJECTIVETo explore the operative skills and effect of unilateral pedicle screw combined with contralateral percutaneous transfacet screws fixation in treating degenerative low lumbar disease.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to December 2011,22 patients with degenerative low lumbar disease were treated with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, during the operations, unilateral pedicle screw and contralateral percutaneous transfacet screw fixation were performed. There were 16 males and 6 females, aged from 32 to 71 years old with an average of (51.1 ± 10.6) years, including single segment in 20 cases and two segments in 2 cases. Clinical effects were evaluated according to visual analogue score (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 1 to 2.5 years with an average of 18 months. One case complicated with leakage of cerebrospinal fluid after operation and 1 case with lower limb pain of decompression-side on the 3rd day after operation. Twenty-two patients got bony fusion. There were no instability and evidence of instrument failure during follow-up. The VAS and ODI score decreased from preoperative 8.24 ± 0.72, 36.72 ± 6.84 respectively to 3.18 ± 0.66, 4.36 ± 1.12 at the final follow-up (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONUnilateral pedicle screw combined with contralateral percutaneous transfacet screw fixation is safe and feasible surgical technique in treating low lumbar degenerative disease. It has advantages of little trauma, rigid fixation, high fusion rate, and less complication. etc.
