Hypoxia- inducible factor-1 ( HIF-1) promotes tumor deterioration, invasion and metasta-sis. Treatment targeting the HIF-1 signal pathway is becoming a hot research. In addition to uniquely selective inhibition of topoisomerase Ⅰ(Topo Ⅰ) ,the recent studies show that camptothecin compounds can regulate the activity of HIF-1 through decreasing HIF-1 protein translation and have been classified as a non-selective chemical inhibitor of HIF-1.

AIM:To establish a method for determining notoginsenoside R_1,ginsenoside Rg_1 and ginsenoside Rb_1 in Jingkang Capsules(Radix Rehmanniae praeparata,Radix Polygoni multiflori,Radix et Rhizoma Notoginseng,etc.). METHODS: A Diamonsil C_(18) column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase was used for gradient elution,the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the UV detection wavelength was at 203 mn. RESULTS: There was a good linear relationship at a range of 0.327-2.180 ?g for notoginsenoside R_1(r=(0.999 4))(the average recovery was 98.23% with RSD of 1.53%(n=6)),0.909-6.060 ?g for ginsenoside Rg_1(r=1.0)(the average recovery was 99.04% with RSD of 1.00%(n=6)),0.672-4.480 ?g for ginsenoside Rb_1(r=0.999 8)(the average recovery was 98.17% with RSD of 1.31%(n=6)).CONCLUSION: The method is simple,quick and accurate.It can be used for the quality control of Jingkang Capsules.

BACKGROUND: With the development of technology, poly-L-lactic acid/β-tricalcium phosphate composite materials show good characters in the tissue engineering, which can promote osteoblast proliferation, reduce rejection reactions, and improve bone healing in a dose-dependent manner. OBJECTIVE: To test the influence of poly-L-lactic acid with different molecule weights on the structure and function of poly-L-lactic acid/β-tricalcium phosphate composite scaffolds. METHODS: Poly-L-lactic acid with molecule weights of 200 000 and 380 000 were combined with β-tricalcium phosphate to produce composite scaffolds by using freeze-drying method. Porosity and pore size of the samples were measured. The fetal rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultured and expanded in vitro. They were harvested and seeded into the prepared poly-L-lactic acid/β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds. The 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and alkaline phosphatase were examined for comparison between normal cultured BMSCs and those cultured on the different poly-L-lactic acid/β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Images of scanning electron microscope showed that the cells adhered to the scaffolds greatly. The value of MTT and alkaline phosphatase showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). The molecule weight of poly-L-lactic acid has no influence on the biological function of composite materials.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features,early diagnosis and therapeutic methods of primary tumor of the duodenum.MethodsThe clinical data of 130 patients of primary tumor of the duodenum who were hospitalized in Peaking University Third Hospital from 1974 to 2010 were summarized.There were 30 cases of benign tumors and 100 cases of malignancy. ResultsMore than 90％ of primary tumors of the duodenum were located at the duodenal bulb and descendent part.59％ of malignant tumors were located in the area of duodenal papilla. The mean diameter of benign tumors was less than 2 cm compared with more than 3 cm in malignancies. Upper abdominal pain,jaundice,black stool,intestinal obstruction and abdominal mass were among the most common clinical manifestations. Jaudice was most common in papilla tumors,and intestinal obstruction and palpable abdominal mass often indicate advanced stage.Duodenofiberscopy combined with air barium double contrast radiography increase the diagnosis rate.Among the 30 benign cases,11 cases underwent simple tumor resection,14 cases received endoscopic tumor resection and 3 cases underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy.Resection rate and the 5-year survival rate was 100％. Of the 100 malignant cases,56 cases underwent standard pancreaticoduodenectomy,3 cases received pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy,9 cases underwent simple tumor resection and 12 cases received segmental duodenectomy.Resection rate was 84％.The 5-year survival rate was 46％ in 59 cases receiving Whipple's procedure.ConclusionsPrimary tumor of the duodenum lacks specific clinical features. Simple tumor resection and segmental duodenectomy can be done for benign cases, while pancreaticoduodenectomy is the therapy of choice for malignant cases.

Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of body dysmorphic disorder questionnaire (BDDQ) Chinese version. Methods A total of 222 participants from a plastic surgery department were enrolled in the study by systematic sampling. They were measured with BDDQ Chinese version and interviewed with Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-]V-TR-Patients( SCID/P) to evaluate the validity. Fifty participants were assessed again after two weeks to evaluate the test-retest reliability. Results The sensitivity of BDDQ Chinese version was 100% and the specificity was 93%. The correlation coefficient of each item was between 0. 808 and 1.000(P＜ 0.001). Conclusion BDDQ Chinese version has fairly high reliability and validity. Thus, it can be used as a screening diagnosis tool for BDD.

Cystatin C (Cys C) is used to evaluate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal function and thus reflects changes in endogenous marker. Cys C is not affected by gender, muscle mass, malignancy and its production rate is usually constant, making it one of ideal markes of GFR. This article focuses on clinical application and research of Cys C in a variety of renal diseases, especially in renal dysfunction at an early stage of clinical significance.

Objective To observe the expressions of c-Ski in renal tissue of diabetic nephropathy rats, and discuss its significance. Methods Wistar male rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: Control group, diabetic group and treatment group. Rats were killed at the 16th week after experiment. Histopathologic changes,in renal tissue were observed and immunohistochemistry was performed to investigate the expression of TGF-β1, α-SMA and c-Ski. Results The expression of c-Ski had a negative correlation with TGF-β1 and α-SMA. Compared to diabetic group, the expression of c-Ski was significantly increased in treatment group. Conclusion c-Ski may be a protective factor of tu-bular epithelial-myofibroblast transformation.

Objective To explore the effect of the Yu-tone music to reduction of fear emotion. Methods 72 undergraduate students listened to Yu-tone Music or had a rest for ten minutes after elicitation of fear emotion by film clip;and measured from autonomic nerves system include skin conduction,BVP amplitude,heart rate,respiration,finger temperature and self-report subjective experience. Result 1.Compared with silence[(0.96±1.64)1/Ω,(0.85±1.73)min-1,(4.48±43.54)μV,(-5±15.37)min-1],music was associated with a significantly decreased skin resistance,respiration rate,heart rate and myoelectricity after fear emotion[(2.04±2.22)1/Ω,(0.09±1.79)min-1,(8.47±26.24) μV,(1.57±20.88) min-1,P <0.01,P <0.01,P <0.01,P <0.05]; 2.Compared with silence[(-0.37±2.71)μV, (0.13±1.16) ℃ ],music was enlarged BVP amplitude and skin temperature[(-0.53±3.8)μV,(-0.02±0.87)℃],but there was no significant difference( P ＞0.05,P ＞0.05).Conclusion Music advance the restore of negative emotion,and reduce excitability of the sympathetic and improve function of the parasympathetic nervous systems. Simultaneously,music significantly enhance the feelings of happiness as well as quietness of positive emotion.
