Objective To evaluate the short term and long term clinical effect of internal iliac arterial chemotherapy (IIAC) followed by surgery for invasive bladder cancer. Methods Fifty six patients with invasive bladder cancer were preoperatively treated by IIAC with cisplatin (100 mg/m 2) and adriamycin (30 mg/m 2).All the cases received IIAC twice with 3 to 4 weeks interval.Two weeks after the second chemotherapy,the patients were examined by ultrasound and cystoscopy.Bladder preserving operation or radical cystectomy was performed according to clinical stages and grades of the bladder cancer. Results Two weeks after IIAC,down staging was observed in 42 patients (75%),and no change or increase in volume and stage were observed in 14 patients (25%).After IIAC TURBt was performed on 21 patients,partial cystectomy on 5,and radical cystectomy on 28 depending on the rumor size and clinical stages.The 1 ,2 ,3 ,5 year disease free survival rate in evaluative 40 patients was 85.0%,70.0%,57.5%,50.0%,respectively. Conclusions IIAC as a neoadjuvant chemotherapy has the possibility of down staging the cancer,which provides the chance of bladder preserving operations for invasive bladder cancer, and the possibility of radical cystectomy for high stage (T 3b ～T 4) bladder cancer.IIAC followed by surgery can effectively improve the disease free survival rate for invasive bladder cancer.

Objective To explore and evaluate the clinical value of MRI for status of axillary lymph node after neoadju-vant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer. Methods Forty-four patients with 1ocally advanced breast cancer (LABC) were underwent NAC for four cycles. The longest diameter of axillary lymph node (ALN) measured by MRI scan. Val-ue of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and their correlation were compared before NAC and four cycles after NAC. Re-sults of MRI and pathological data for ALN were compared between two groups of patients. Results All patients finished four cycles of NAC. The total response rate (CR+PR) was 72.7% (32/44), and the total non-response rate (SD+PD) was 27.3%(12/44). The longest diameter of ALN was significantly shortened in response group. The longest diameter was (1.37± 1.06) cm before NAC and (0.90±0.76) cm after NAC (P<0.01). The ADC value of the tumor was significantly increased in re-sponse group [(0.91±0.28) ×10-3 mm2/s before NAC and (1.01±0.32)×10-3 mm2/s after NAC, P<0.01)]. There was no signifi-cant correlation between ADC value change (△ADC) and the longest diameter change of ALN (△L, r=0.131, P=0.413). The sensitivity, specificity and Kappa value of ALN evaluation after NAC were 100%, 62.5%and 0.68 measured by MRI. Con-clusion The change of tumor longest diameter reflects the effect of chemotherapy directly. The tumor ADC value of MRI can not be used as an independent indicator of chemotherapy effect of ALN, eventhouth MRI was the sensitive index for eval-uating the status of axillary lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Studies have disclosed that α4β2 nAChRs relate to the development of variety of neurological diseases, including pain, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Objective To explore the mobile changes of nitric oxide(NO) and the relationship between nitric oxide and glomerular hyperfiltration in experimental diabetic rats.Methods Experimental diabetes mellitus(DM) was induced in rats with streptozotocin(STZ).The levels of NO and NOS in renal tissue homogenate were assayed after establishment of diabetesat the 4 th,8 th,12 th week.At the same time, renal morphology in diabetic rats was examined by light microscope and image of computer.Results The contents of NO and NOS in renal homegenates were evidently increased at 4 th week,and decreased gradually from 8 th week(P
