Objective To investigate the tracing value of drug-loaded nano-active carbon for lymphatic visualization and its potential application in the lymphadenectomy of gastric cancer. Methods Sixty-three patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were randomized into 2 groups:control group and tracing group. For the tracing group, 5-Fu-loaded nano-active carbon (NP-5-FU) suspension was intratumorally administered by preoperative gastroscope-guided or intra-operative injection. No tracing reagents was given in the control group. The numbers of removed lymph nodes and metastasis-involved lymph nodes as well as the lymph node staining were recorded and compared between the two groups. The adverse effects was monitored. Results The resected lymph nodes in the tracing group were much more than that of control group (43.73 ± 9. 25 vs. 25. 36 ± 4. 73, t = 3.82,P < 0. 05). For the N1, N2 and N3 lymph nodes, 27. 17 ± 5. 82,13.73 ± 4. 61 and 2. 83 ± 0. 15 per case of the tracing group were desected, while they were 14. 45 ± 2. 75,8. 27 ± 1.89, and 2. 64 ± 0. 11 per case in the control group,respectively (P < 0. 05 ). 26. 2% (211/842) of the lymph nodes in the tracing group showed black intensity,higher than that of unstain lymph nodes (4. 5% ,21/470,χ2 =95. 108,P <0. 05) and that in control group (16.9%, 142/837)( χ2 =7.485 ,P < 0.05, ). No local and systemic adverse reactions were observed for the local injection of nano-active carbon. No extension of operating time and increased complications occurred. Conclusion Local injection of nano-active carbon which was loaded with 5-FU around the tumor is a very useful measure to trace the lymph nodes and facilitate the lymphedetectomy and chemotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of flurbiprofen axetil on lung ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury in rats.MethodsSixty healthy male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups( n =20 each): group sham operation(group S) ;group I/R and group flurbiprofen axetil (group FA).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 2% pentobarbital 50 mg/kg and tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Lung I/R was induced by 60 min occlusion of left hilus pulmonis followed by 120 min reperfusion.In FA group flurbiprofen axetil 10 mg/kg was injected iv at 15 min before occlusion of left hilus pulmonis.The rats were sacrificed at 120 min of reperfusion and then the lungs were removed for measurement of lung wet/dry weight ratio,apoptosis index,NF-κB activity,Bcl-2 and Bax protien expression,and microscopic examination.Bcl-2/Bax ratio was caculated.ResultsI/R significantly increased lung wet/dry weight ratio,apoptosis index,NF-κB activity,Bcl-2 and Bax protien expression,and decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio.Flurbiprofen axetil preconditioning significantly attenuated the I/R-induced changes in lung wet/dry weight ratio,apoptosis index,NF-κB activity,Bcl-2 and Bax protien expression,and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in group FA as compared with group I/R.Flurbiprofen axetil preconditioning also ameliorated I/R-induced lung damage.ConclusionFlurbiprofen axetil can attenuate lung I/R injury in rats by inhibiting NF-κB activity,up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax expression and inhibiting apoptosis.

Objective To select the best condition for microwave assisted extraction (MAE) of flavones from leaves of Ginkgo biloba L . and compare this method with the most conventional extraction way. Methods Both microwave assisted extraction and theat maceration were adopted for flavones from leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. , and the total content was determined by spectrophotometry. Results Under appropriate MAE conditions, both the recovery and purity of total flavones obtained from the experiments by uniform design and the orthogonal design were very similar. The optimal recovery and purity by orthogonal experimental design were 212 4 mg/g and 61 9%, respectively. The optimal results by orthogonal experimental design were 216 2 mg/g and 57 1%, respectively. However, the results by maceration were only 114 6 mg/g and 40 1%, respectively. Conclusion MAE is a more suitable method for the extraction of flavones from leaves of Ginkgo biloba L . because of its higher extraction rate and purity.

Objective To establish a monitoring database of historical Oncomelania hupensis environments at grass?root lev?el for schistosomiasis prevention based on Google Earth(GE),so as to improve the management efficiency of historical O. hu?pensis environments. Methods GE was labeled with the information about the historical O. hupensis environments through add?ing landmark,path and polygon. Meanwhile,POCO web album was used to storage the practice situation pictures of the environ?ments,which could be imported into GE so that the environments could be monitored dynamically. Results There were 553 historical O. hupensis snail environments in Yangjian Town,Xishan District,Wuxi City and the accumulative area was 506 000 m2. Among these environments,224(40.5%)were Class IV environments,accounting for 40.5%of accumulative area. Conclu?sions The monitoring database of historical O. hupensis environments based on GE at country level is established successfully and it can be used to manage the historical snail environments visually and monitor the changes dynamically.
