Quality of ulcer healing (QUH) was applied to explore the mechanism of the recurrence of peptic ulcer. The relationship of QUH and epidermal growth factor, prostaglandins, heat shock proteins, immune function and Helico-bacter pylori was assayed. Mechanism of Chinese herbal medicine for the recurrence of peptic ulcer was presented as follows: improving blood circulation and barrier function of gastric mucosa, eliminating Helicobacter pylori and increas ing QUH.

Objective To investigate the correlation of trace elements in maternal blood,breast milk and infant blood.Methods Atomic absorption spectrographic method was used to measure blood and milk trace elements [calcium (Ca),ferrum (Fe),zinc (Zn),magnesium (Mg),copper(Cu)] of maternal of natural delivery and infant in 250 cases,then to analyze the correlation of trace elements in maternal blood,breast milk and infant blood in postpartum 42 days.Results There were statistically significant differences in trace elements between the maternal blood,breast milk and infant blood (P ＜ 0.05).There was a positive correlation of Ca,and Fe between maternal blood and infant blood [Ca (r =0.221,P =0.047),Fe (r =0.107,P =0.043)];Fe had a positive correlation between breast milk and infant blood (r =0.139 P =0.035);There was a positive correlation of the trace elements between maternal blood and milk,but no correlation in Mg.Conclusions There was the gradient of trace elements in maternal blood and breast milk in postpartum 42 days.It can keep breast milk in a certain percentage of trace element and contribute to absorption of trace elements and growth and development in infant.The regular determination of trace elements during pregnancy and postpartum in women and their infant can direct a balanced diet and advocate breastfeeding.It can also prevent the lack of calcium,iron,zinc and other trace elements in infant.

Objective To analyze the energy supply nutrients (protein,fat and lactose) and mineral elements (calcium,copper,iron,zinc,magnesium,sodium,potassium) supplied in breast milk from the resident of Lanzhou,and investigate the problems of those energy supply nutrients and mineral elements in breast milk of this population so that to provide basis for breast feeding.Methods Breast milk from 1 215 mothers whose babies were fed totally by the breast milk and grew well was collected and assayed for the contents of protein,fat,lactose,calcium,copper,iron,zinc,magnesium,sodium and potassium in Lanzhou region.The optimal range for breast feeding was set by normal distribution method.The results were compared with the breast milk from other internal region in order to clarify the contents difference.Results The prevalence of mother-milk-fed in this region was 48.5％.The normal ranges (unit:g/100 g) of fat,lactose and protein were 1.57-5.11,6.58-7.16 and 0.79-1.35,and the normal ranges of calcium,copper,iron,zinc,magnesium,sodium and potassium were 5.25-7.83 mmol/L,5.66-8.28 mmol/L,0.14-0.3 mmol/L,15-64.48 μmol/L,0.98-1.62 mmol/L,1.92-18.82 mmol/L,7.95～ 17.31 mmol/L in the high quality breast milk.Compared with the other internal region,the normal ranges of the protein,fat and lactose in Lanzhou were lower.The contents of protein,fat,lactose,calories,calcium,copper,zinc and sodium in the breast milk from the whole investigated population were significantly lower compared with breast milk of high quality (P＜0.01).Conclusion The quality of breast milk in Lanzhou is not so good.The contents of various nutrients in breast milk should be improved to a proper level by appropriate ways so that to improve the growth and development of the baby.

Tryptophan (TRP) is an essential amino-acid and the precursor of many signaling molecules. Under the catalysis of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase, kynurenine pathway can form its metabolites uroquinolinic acid and quinolinic acid, which is the main channel of TRP metabolism.Through different mechanisms in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, they participate in nervous modulation, affect cognitive processes and play an important role in many central nervous system diseases development. Kynurenine pathway is different under physiological and pathological conditions. In addition, there are many rate-limiting enzymes in the kynurenine pathway, which can interfere kynurenine pathway. This article reviews the relationship between tryptophan/kynurenine pathway and cognitive dysfunction.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of StereoPhan (SP) phantoms and SRS MapCHECK (SMC) semiconductor matrices in the dose verification of HyperArc (HA) plans for patients with brain metastases (BM).Methods:A total of 16 BM patients who received HA radiotherapy in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital were enrolled in this study. The ion chamber and the SMC semiconductor matrix were inserted into SP phantoms, respectively. The point and planar doses in HA verification plans were measured and compared with the calculated data of the treatment planning system (TPS). The criteria for planar dose γ analysis were set at 2 mm/3%, 2 mm/2%, 1 mm/3%, and 1 mm/2%.Results:The mean deviation of point doses in 16 patients was 1.33%±0.84%. Based on the above criteria, the γ pass rates of planar doses were 99.72%±0.46%, 98.93%±1.32%, 98.85%±1.79%, and 97.13%±3.19%, respectively.Conclusions:SP phantoms and SMC semiconductor matrices are applicable to the dose verification of HA plans for BM patients. The analytical criteria of 3% and 1 mm/2% can be used for verifying point and planar doses, respectively.
