re To understand the developmental toxicity of aluminum and its mechanism. Methods The embryos of SD rats at the 9. 5th day after gestation were explanted and cultured in a whole-embryo culture system with exposure to AlCl3 at Al3+ concentrations of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 3.0, 6.0 and 9.0 ?g/ml for 48 hours. Using Brown's mor-phological scoring system, yolk sac diameter, crown-rump length, head length and embryonic dry weight were mea-sured. Results A certain dose-effect relationship (r= - 0.890? 0.973, P

Objective To study the indication, contraindication and short-term clinical effects of stereotactic radiotherapy (X-knife) in lung cancer. Methods A total of 56 cases (Treatment group) of lung cancer were treated with X-knife composing of the modern 3-D treatment planning system and the stereotactic body frame, and SL-75 accelerator. And another 53 cases only treated with routine external radiation served as the control. In treatment group, 42 cases received 50 Gy radiation, at 2 Gy per day, 5 d per week in the upper mediastinum, hilus of lung, below the primary focus first and then underwent X-knife for the primary focuses, and other 14 recurrent and metastatic cases received irradiation of 8-12 Gy per day, 5 d by X-knife alone. Results The actually reexamination rate for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after X-knife treatment in 78 focuses from 56 cases was 79.5% (62/78), 89.8% (70/78), 87.2% (68/78) and 78.2% (61/78) respectively. The focuses reappeared in 3 months after the treatment and the growth rates of focus in 3, 6, and 12 month after the treatment were 2.6% (2/78), 5.1% and 9% (7/78) respectively. There were 2 focuses received a second treatment with X-knife because no change after the first one. Both the 1-and 2-year survival rates of 36 cases of the primary lung cancer in the treatment group were higher than that of control group (89.1%, 53.9% and 77.4%, 39.6%). Conclusion The stereotactic radiotherapy is of applicable and prospective in the treatment of lung cancer. The indications include: ①As a boost dose in case when primary focus is less than 5 cm after the first external radiotherapy may reduce the exposure of lung tissue to x-ray and the occurrence of radiation pneumonia; ②Treatment for the recurrence after radiotherapy and operation; ③Radical treatment for the metastatic focus less than 5 cm. Attention must be paid to when multiple treatment is carried on the volume of the focus, the Karnofsky scores and the general condition when stereotactic radiotherapy combined with X-knife for lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the toxicities and inhibitory effects of three kinds of kegin-type novel heteropoly compounds which were synthesised by molecular assembly interactions on influnenza A virus(H1N1) in vitro.Methods The toxicities and anti-influnenza virus activities were tested by methods of CPE-MTT and chick embryos culture.Results TC_(50) in MDCK cells and LD_(50) in chick embryos of three kinds of kegin-type novel heteropoly compounds were higher than those of amantadine.TI in MDCK cells and chick embryos were both higher than that of amantadine. Conclusion The three kinds of kegin-type novel heteropoly compounds have lower toxicities and higher anti-virus effects on influnenza A virus(H1N1) than amantadine.Through chemic modifications,the toxicity of amantadine can be decreased and the activity of amantadine can be increased.

Objective To compare the cell-killing and sensitization effect of 6-gingerol on human hepatoma carcinoma (HepG-2) cell in normal mode versus hypoxia-hypoglycemia mode in chemotherapy.Methods The HepG-2 cells was cultured to logarithmic phase and treated with adriamyein doxorubicin hydrochloride (ADM) (5,10,15,20,40,60 mg/L) and 6-gingerol(25,50,100,200 μmol/L)in different concentrations.Then the cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay kit was used to determine the proliferation inhibition of HepG-2 cells.Cell apoptosis was detected by combining flow cytometry and AnnexinV-FITC PI double staining after treated with different drugs.The expressions of bcl-2,bax and birc-5 mRNA in HepG-2 cells was detected by real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay.Results 6-gingerol and ADM had a certain degree of growth inhibition on HepG-2 cells.In two modes,the inhibition ratios of the 6-gingerol and ADM were both increased along with the increase of the concentration,which showed a dose-dependent manner.Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that the apoptosis rate in the control group,6-gingerol group,ADM group and the 6-gingerol+ADM group in the normal mode was (7.98±0.76)%,(9.63 ± 1.00) %,(12.70 ± 2.13) % and (19.92 ± 1.41) % respectively.The apoptosis rate in the control group,6-gingerol group,ADM group and the 6-gingerol+ ADM group in the hypoxia-hypoglycemia mode was (13.92 ± 2.02)%,(19.36 ±-1.22)%,(27.87 ± 0.99)% and (38.63 ± 2.25)% respectively.It demonstrated that the apoptosis rate was increased in the experimental groups as compared to the control group under the two culture conditions(the normal mode and the hypoxiahypoglycemia mode)(t=7.250,5.259,12.185,8.140,15.000,47.576,respectively,all P<0.05,0.01 or 0.001).The combination group had the highest number of apoptosis cells,and the number of apoptosis cells was higher in hypoxia-hypoglycemia group than in normal culture group.Real-time PCR analysis showed that,compared with the control group,the expressions of bcl-2 and birc-5 mRNA were decreased and the expression of bax mRNA had no significant changes in experimental group under the normal culture conditions.The expressions of bcl-2 and birc-5 mRNA were significantly decreased and the expression of bax mRNA was increased in experimental group as compared with the control group under the hypoxia-hypoglycemia conditions.Under the hypoxiahypoglycemia environment,the expression of bcl-2 mRNA was significantly increased,the expressions of bax and birc-5 mRNA was significantly reduced,and the ratio of bcl-2 and bax was significantly increased as compared with the normal culture conditions.Conclusions 6 gingerol may decrease the inhibitory effect of survivin protein on tumor cells apoptosis by reduced the expression of birc-5,which generates the cell-killing and sensitizing effect on HepG-2 cell in chemotherapy.This performance is more obvious in the hypoxia-hypoglycemia environment.

Objective To identify the spatial distribution of stray radiation from mobile CT head scanning for the purpose of radiation protection.Methods The head series of CareTom mobile CT were scanned and the radiation dose was measured using TLD (LiF:Mg,Cu,P).The isodose maps of radiation dose field were plotted using Matlab software.Results Radiation dose in the front of the mobile CT was slightly higher than that in the back.The maximum value of 0.255 mGy was found to be at 0.5 m from the scanning hole center.Conclusions The stray radiation dose from mobile CT head scanning was relatively low.However in order to avoid the damage to the operators and other medical workers from long-term low dose exposure,it should keep 2 m away from mobile CT,beside or behind,when in operation.
