AIM:To make a evaluation of high-dose Senmai(Radix Ginseng Rubra, Radix Ophiopogonis, Fructus schisandrae.)(HD-SM)in treating patients with advanced cancer.METHODS:32 patients with advanced cancer were assigned to treatment group. And 28 cases were assigned to the control group. The treatment group received chemotherapy and HD-SM, the control group received chemotherapy and the routine supporting treatment (except HD-SM). The toxicity and effect of all patients were observed, and the value of HD-SM was assessed.RESULTS:All cases in treatment group received 4 chemotherapy courses according to plan. The toxicities were tolerable, and the effect was satisfactory. All cases in the control group were only performed 1 course of treatmeur.CONCLUSION:HD-SM can decrease the effect of chemotherapy and reduce chemotherapeutic toxicities, and it is a very effective supporting treatment in chemotherapy.

Survivin-D53A (SVV-D53A) is a dominant-negative mutant survivin, which represents a potential promising target for cancer gene therapy. The present study was designed to determine whether SVV-D53A plasmid encapsuled by DOTAP: Chol liposome would have the anti-tumor activity against SPC-A1 lung adenocarcinoma, and to detect the possible mechanisms. In our experiment, SPC-A1 cells were transfected in vitro with SVV-D53A plasmid and examined for protein expression by Western blot, then flow cytometric analysis was used to detect apoptosis. SPC-A1 lung adenocarcinoma xenografts were established in vivo in the nude mice, which received the i. v. administrations of SVV-D53A plasmid/liposome complexes. After mice were sacrificed, the paraffin-embedded tumor tissue sections were used for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Compared with the control group, the mice treated with SVV-D53A plasmid had an obviously reduced tumor volume, with high level of apoptosis and decreased cell proliferation in tumor tissue. The research results proved that the administration of SVV-D53A plasmid resulted in significant inhibition of SPC-A1 cells both in vitro and in vivo. The functional mechanism is that the anti-tumor response causes and induces tumor cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the HBV- positive pregnant women about the knowledge of the route of hepatitis B transmission, hepatitis B hazards, health care during pregnancy, announcements of child- care to explore targeted and effective health education model with self- designed question-naires. Methods Nurses in obstetrics department carried out this questionnaire investigation in the outpa-tients of HBV- positive pregnant women, after that the results underwent statistic analysis. Results The overall knowledge of HBV- positive pregnant women in announcements of child- care, health care during pregnancy and hepatitis B hazards was not very well, and the announcements of child- care was the lowest, followed by health care during pregnancy and hepatitis B hazards. The route of hepatitis B transmission was better, but still not satisfactory. The education should highlight these areas. Well- educated women were better than those who lack education. The age between 20 to 30 years old was better. Conclusions The HBV-positive pregnant women is lack of heath knowledge, so we should gave health intervention in a multi- level, multi- stage standardized and a variety of ways.

Objective To assess alternations in left ventricular volume and systolic synchrony in patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes(PVCs) from the right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT).Methods Twenty-nine patients with frequent isolated PVCs from RVOT were included and 30 healthy subjects as control.Instantaneous full-volume imaging(IFI) was performed to evaluate left ventricle volumetric parameters,including end-systolic volume (ESV),end-diastolic volume (EDV),stroke volume (SV),ejection fraction (EF),and systolic synchrony parameters,including systolic dyssynchrony index (SDI),dispersion end-systole (DISPES),mean end-systolic time (MES),pre-contraction time volume (PreContr) and post-contraction time volume (PostContr).Contraction front mapping was performed to visualize volumetric contraction sequence.All values of patients with PVCs were recorded during sinus beats (PVC-S) and premature ventricular beats (PVC-V) respectively.Results Significant differences were observed in left ventricular systolic volumetric and synchrony parameters between PVC-V and control subjects (P<0.01),as well as in MES and PreContr between PVC-S and control subjects (P<0.01).Conclusions Left ventricular systolic dysynchrony was demonstrated in patients with PVCs from RVOT.IFI was a novel tool to analyze left ventricular global and regional volumetric alternations.

Objective To study the mechanism of endoplamic reticulum stress(ERS)pretreatment induced by 2-DG on the auditory cortex injury after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods The SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,sham group,I/R group,and ERS pretreatment group. Tread occlusion was used to prepare the model of MCAO in the mice for 60 min followed by reperfusion for 24 h. Neurological assessment was exercised and brain infarction volume was evaluated. The auditory brainstem response was tested. The pathological changes were observed by HE staining. Neurocyte apoptosis was observed by Tunel ,and the apop-tosis index(AI)was determined. Expression of GRP78 and Caspase-12 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the sham group,the neurological scores,ratio of infarct volume and the hearing thresh-olds in I/R group increased significantly. HE staining showed the normal structure disappeared ,and apoptotic index increased significantly. Expression of GRP78 and Caspase-12 protein significantly up-regulated. Compared with I/R group,the indicators above showed improvement to some degrees. Conclusions The ERS pretreatment can alleviate the ischemia-reperfusion injury and neuron apoptosis in auditory cortex ,and reduce the possibility of hearing loss.

Objective To investigate the oropharyngeal microbial colonization in elderly patients.Methods Totally 618 elderly cases and 96 young and middle-aged cases were involved in this investigation.The colonization of bacteria and fungi on the oropharyngeal mucosa were obtained by throat swab cultures.Results There were 85.4% of cases (82 cases) with Streptococcus viridans and Neisseria gonorrheae on the oropharynx mucosa in young and middle-aged group and the pattern of constitute was simple.3 to 5 bacterial species were isolated from the oropharyngeal mucosa in elderly group.There were only 25.7% of cases (159 cases)with Streptococcus viridans and Neisseria gonorrheae on the oropharyngeal mucosa in elderly group.Biodiversity of the constitution pattern in the bacterial colonization was exhibited in the elderly.The colonization rate of Gramnegative bacilli was higher in elderly group than in young and middle-aged group [53.1% (328/618)vs.6.3% (6/96)].Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumonia were the common Grampositive bacteria colonization in the elderly.The colonization rate of Candida fungus was 9.1 % (56/618) in the elderly.Conclusions The reduction of commensal bacteria,especially Streptococcus viridans may be the pathological basis of mode changes in bacteria colonization and opportunistic bacteria colonization on oropharyngeal mucosa in the elderly.The colonization rate of oropharyngeal Gram-negative bacili is obviously increased and Klebsiella Pneumoniae is the common bacteria on oropharyngeal mucosa in the elderly.Enterobacteriaceae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are sensitive to common antibiotics.
