Objective To investigate the relation of resistant index and function of transposited ovaries following radical hysterectomy in young women with early stage of cervical cancer.Methods A total of 22 young women(aged from 26 to 40 years old)with early stage of cervical cancer(FIGO Ⅰ a or Ⅱ a)were studied from Aug.1997 to Sep.2004 in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical Collage.Ovarian transposition was performed at the time of radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy in 12 cases who received postoperative radiotherapy;the rest 10 cases did not receive postoperative radiotherapy.Ovarian function was evaluated by serum FSH,LH,E_2 and B-ultrasonography in all of the cases.Results There was a statistically significant difference between the radiotherapy group and the non-radiotherapy group in serum E_2,FSH,LH levels and RI at the 24th month postoperatively.RI had a negative correlation with E_2 and positive correlation with FSH.Conclusion Ovarian transplantation can preserve the endocrine function of ovary for young women with cervical cancer.RI has a negative correlation with E_2 and positive correlation with FSH.RI is the important index of supervising ovarian function.Postoperative radiotherapy can influence RI and ovarian function.

Radiotherapy is an importment local treatment for non-small cell tung cancer. In recent years,with the development of molecular biology and radiotherapy technique and the update of equipment,radiation pattern with different doses segmentation and the concept of the combined therapy including radiotherapy and chemotherapy have been applied in clinic gradually,which get better effects.

Primary liver cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system.Most patients are in the advanced stage when a con-firmed diagnosis has been made,and prognosis is often unfavorable.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)has unique advantages in the pre-vention and treatment of primary liver cancer.This article briefly introduces the etiology and pathogenesis of primary liver cancer,as well as syndrome differentiation and treatment of liver cancer with TCM,and summarizes the advances in multimodality therapies including TCM combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization,radical surgery for liver cancer,chemoradiotherapy,and molecular-targeted thera-py,in order to provide a reference for the clinical treatment and improvement in the prognosis of primary liver cancer.

Objective To evaluate the value of bispectral index(BIS)monitoring as an indicator for extubation sedation level after children's oper?ation by total intravenous anesthesia. Methods One hundred and eighty children(2?13 years old)were randomly divided into six groups with 30 cases in each. Group A kept BIS 56?60,and Group B 61?65,Group C 66?70,Group D 71?75,Group E 76?80,Group F 81?85 till extubation. All children were given fentanyl,propofol and cisatracurium besilate when induced,and maintained with propofol and remifentanil. All cases kept BIS 40?55 during the operation. Then the changes of electrocardiogram,mean arterial pressure,heart rate,SpO2,postoperative complications and recovery time were observed. Results Groups A and B were extubated at deep anesthesia,cycle stability,but with high incidence of adverse reactions and awaked with a long time. Groups E and F were extubated when awaked,but with greater stimulation and easier agitation. Groups C and D were lighter hemodynamic responses,less respiratory effects and less postoperative complications of anesthesia. Conclusion The BIS level of 66?75 is a good se?dation level for extubation,especially in the level of 71?75.

Objective To study the effect of TGF-?1 on the activation of ERK MAPK in human bronchial epithelial BEP2D cells. Methods Western blot was employed to examine the time-dependent activation of ERK MAPK by TGF-?1. BEP2D cells were harvested after treatment of human bronchial epithelial cells with 2 ng/ml TGF-?1 for 0, 10, 30, 60, 120, 240 and 480 min, respectively. Fluorescent dye staining and flow cytometry were employed to assess the apoptosis of BEP2D cells treated with vehicle, or with 2ng/ml TGF-?1, or co-treated with 2ng/ml TGF-?1 and 5?M U0126. Proliferation of BEP2D cells treated with vehicle, or with 2ng/ml TGF-?1 or 5?M U0126, or co-treated with 2ng/ml TGF-?1 and 5?M U0126 was assayed with colony-forming test, respectively. Morphological observation was performed to observe the morphological changes in BEP2D cells treated with vehicle, or with 5ng/ml TGF-?1 or 5?M U0126, or co-treated with 5ng/ml TGF-?1 and 5?M U0126, respectively. Results TGF-?1 activated ERK MAPK in BEP2D cell. The maximal activation of ERK MAPK took place at 60min after stimulation with 2ng/ml TGF-?1. TGF-?1 treatment effectively inhibited cell proliferation, and induced their apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Pretreatment with U0126, an inhibitor of ERK MAPK, significantly enhanced the TGF-?1-mediated anti-proliferation and apoptosis effects, and inhibited the effect of epithelial-mesenchymal transition of TGF-?1 in BEP2D cells. Conclusion TGF-?1-induced phosphorylation of ERK MAPK may participate in BEP2D cell proliferation and apoptosis regulation.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanisms of vascular dementia (VD) by comparing the neuroethological and pathological changes of two VD models, established with spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and the rat, of which the bilateral carotid arteries were ligated. Methods Ten male SHRs were employed and defined as hypertension control group. Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to operation group (bilateral carotid arteries were ligated), sham group and control group. All rats enrolled in the operation group were undergone a permanent ligation of bilateral carotid artery (2-VO). The memory function of rats was estimated by the mean escape latency of Morris water maze. The morphological changes of neuron cells in the frontal lobe, temporal lobes, hippocampus and thalami were observed with HE staining, while the changes of white matter around cerebral ventricles were checked with LFB staining, and the demyelination of nerve was calculated. Results The memory function of rats in SHR control group and Wistar operation group was decreased compared with that of the rats in sham group and control group (P0.05). Conclusions SHRs without intervention and Wistar rats undergone 2-VO can be used to reproduce the ideal VD model. Both chronic permanent hypoperfusion and hypertension may lead to the loss of neurons and myelin which may result in memory dysfunction. Hypoperfusion is even more harmful than hypertension. The present study suggests that loss of neurons and myelin may play a role in the VD.

Objective To compare the effects of intracoronary verapamil on coronary flow,myocardial perfusion and clinical outcome during primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods A total of 99 consecutive STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI were randomly assigned to receive intracoronary verapamil or intracoronary heparinised saline immediately after stent deployment.Coronary flow was assessed by Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction(TIMI) flow grade(TFG) and corrected TIMI frame count(CTFC),and myocardial perfusion was assessed by TIMI myocardial perfusion grade(TMPG) and TIMI myocardial blush grades(MBG).Coronary and myocardial perfusion were assessed before and after PCI,as well as after drug administration by two doctors independently.Echocardiography were performed one week after PCI.Incidence of major adverse cardiac events in hospital and 3 months follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results Eight patients were excluded from the final analysis.Among the remaining 91 patients,47 patients were in the verapamil group and 44 patients were in control group.Baseline characteristics and angiographic characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups.CTFC,TFG,TMPG,and MBG before and after PCI were of no significant differences between the two groups.However,after drug administration,the verapamil group showed better outcome compared with the control group in CTFC(27.1?14.2 vs 39.0?23.8,P=0.011),TFG≥2(100% vs 90.9%,P=0.035),MBG≥2(91.5%% vs 75.5%,P=0.034),and TMPG≥2(89.4% vs 72.7%,P=0.042).LVEF measured by echocardiography was not significantly different between the two groups one week after PCI.The combined incidence of MACE in hospital(4.3% vs 9.1%,P=0.613) and at 3-month follow-up(23.9% vs 22.7%,P=0.894) was similar between the verapamil group and the control group.Conclusion Intracoronary administration of verapamil can improve coronary flow and myocardial perfusion in STEMI patients underwent primary PCI but show no obvious improvement in short-time clinical prognosis.
