Telomere is the end structure of chromosome and it will be shortened during replication． Telomerase is a reverse transcripatse consisting of both RNA and protein components and synthesizes telomeric DNA by copying the template sequence of its own RNA components to maintain telomere length for function．Telomerase activity in germline cells，immortal and neoplastic cells was detected，but not in mostly normal cells．The telomere-telomerase hypothesis was brung out to explain this phenomenon．According to this hypothesis，re-actived telomerase will maintain telomere's length for protecting chromosome to make the cell immortal．The aging procedure will be explained by this hypothesis too．This hypothesis provides a new concepts of cancer and cancer's treatment．

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of platinum-based chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Clinical data of forty-one elderly patients (≥70 years) with advanced NSCLC who were treated by platinum-based chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 41 patients, 18 (43.9%) patientswere treated with vinorelbine, 9 (22.0%) patients with gemcitabine, 7 (17.1%) patients with paclitaxel and docetaxel respectively. The overall response rate was 19.5%. The median time to progression (MTTP) was 5.8 months, and 1-year survival rate was 65.8% with a median survival time (MST) of 14.2 months. No significant statistical differences were found among the four regimens. The major side effect was bone marrow suppression. Three patients withdrew chemotherapy after one cycle due to grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression. There was no death associated with chemotherapy. Conclusions The platinum-based combined chemotherapy is effective and well-tolerated in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the effect of vecuronium at different doses for induction of anesthesia on monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.Methods One hundred and seventeen patients,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 20-64 yr,weighing 50-85 kg,scheduled for thyroid surgery,were randomly divided into three groups:group Ⅰ (n =39),group Ⅱ (n =40) and group Ⅲ(n =38).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 2 mg,propofol 2 mg/kg,sulfentanil 0.5 μg/kg.Following BIS value at 40-50,vecuronium 0.05(ED95) or 0.10 mg/kg (2 × ED95)was intravenously injected in group Ⅰ or Ⅱ respectively,and the electromyographic (EMG) endotracheal tube was intubated under glidescope at 5 min after vecuronium administration.Group Ⅲ received sevoflurane inhalation and the EMG endotracheal tube was intubated following end-tidal sevoflurane concentration at 4％.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane in three groups.Cooper' s score and the success of attempt at endotracheal intubation were recorded.The recurrent laryngeal nerve-evoked EMG response was monitored to record the amplitude at 5 min intervals from 30 min to 70 min following surgery.Results The success rates of endotracheal intubation were 100％ in three groups,but the Cooper' s score of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference between groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ.In spite of the EMG amplitude being significantly decreased as compared with group Ⅲ,the EMG response was adequate for monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in group Ⅰ.The EMG response was lost 30 min following surgery,and inadequate for neuromonitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve 35-45 min following surgery in group Ⅱ.Conclusion Vecuronium 0.05 mg/kg (ED95)for induction of anesthesia may be helpful to provide satisfactory endotracheal intubation conditions,also not affect the monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients undergoing thyroid surgery,which can be recommended as the optimal dosage.

Objective To reveal the genetic relationship among populations of cultivated Coptis chinensis.Methods Twenty four populations of cultivated C.chinensis from different habitats were employed to be analyzed by the approach of sequence-related amplified polymorphism(SRAP).Systematic relationship was constructed based on the UPGMA method by Treeconw software.Results A total of 276 bands were scored,among which 120 were polymorphic bands.The average percentage of polymorphic bands was 43.48%,indicating that the materials in the test have low genetic diversity.Genetic similarity coefficients were changed from 0.877 0 to 0.951 9.By cluster analysis,the geographical distribution was not very obvious,but it was also showed some of the cultivated C.chinensis from the same region were in the same group.Conclusion Different germplasms diversity of cultivated C.chinensis population is lower and genetic background is more single.

Objective To study the genomic DNA extraction from Rhizoma Coptidus and optimization of RAPD reaction system. Methods Different methods, i.e. phenol method, CTAB method, low pH extraction medium with high salt, were used to genomic DNA extract from Rhizoma Coptidus. The DNA samples obtained by the above methods were tested by agarose gel electrophoresis and ultraviolet spectrometer. Results CTAB Method was considered to be an optimal technique. Based on the genomic DNA extracted by CTAB method, a reaction system suitable for Rhizoma Coptidus was established, that is, 25 ?L amplification reactions system containing 1?PCR buffer, 2 mmol/L Mg 2+, 100—150 ?mol/L dNTP, 20 ng primer, 40 ng template DNA, and 1 U Taq DNA polymerase. Conclusion CTAB Method and RAPD reaction system can be used to RAPD analysis in Rhizoma Coptidus.

Objective To investigate the effect of rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg(ED95)for anesthesia induclion on monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.Methods Seventy-five patients,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 20-70 yr,weighing 50-85 kg,scheduled for thyroid surgery,were randomly divided into two groups:rocuronium group(groupⅠ,n=38)and sevoflurane group(group Ⅱ,n =37).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 2 mg,propofol 2 mg/kg,sulfentanil 0.5 ug/kg.After loss of eyelash reflex,group Ⅰ received rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg(ED95)and was intubated with the electromyographic(EMG)endotracheal tube under glidescope al 2 min after rocuronium administration.Group Ⅱ received sevoflurane inhalation and was endotracheal intubated with EMG tube until end-tidal sevoflurane concentration achieved 4％.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane in both groups.SP,DP,and HR were monitored continuously through the surgery.Cooper's score and the success of attempt at endotracheal intubation were recorded.Recurrent laryngeal nerve evoked EMG was recorded by neuromonitoring and the amplitude of EMG responses was recorded at 5 min intervals from 30 min to 70 min of surgery duration.Results SP,DP and HR remained within normal range in both groups.The success rates of endotracheal intubation were 100％ in both groups,but the Cooper' s score of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅱ(P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅱ,the amplitude of EMG respouses was significantly decreased in group Ⅰ(P ＜ 0.05).However,the EMG response in group Ⅰ was adequate for neuromonitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve.Conclusion Rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg(ED95)for anesthesia induction can not only provide satisfied endotracheal intubation conditions,but also be adequate for monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
