The RNA dot hybridization with human IL-6 cDNA showed that panaxatriol saponin (PTS) enhanced the interleukine-6(IL-6) mRNA concentration within PHA activated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) byabout 4 folds,suggesting that PTS could promote the IL-6 gene transcription of lymphoid tissue

As a characteristic tumor therapy in China, Chinese medicine (CM) plays an important position in comprehensive treatment of tumor. It's a critical issue of objective realization, analysis and evaluation of CM safety for scientific decision-making in tumor safe medication and it also is a pivotal issue which affects the international communication. The safety evaluation of CM includes three phases: pre-clinical safety evaluation, clinical trials (micro-dose studies and traditional clinical trials) and post-marketing CM safety assessment. The key point of evaluation should be distinguished among different stages and various types of CM (such as classic formulas, Chinese herbal extracts, etc). Emphasis should be given to chronic toxicity when evaluating oral Chinese herbal , microdose studies and quality control must be underlined while injection is evaluated and more attention should be pay to the dose-effect relationship and time-effect relationship when turned to toxic Chinese medicine , and so as for the toxicity grading study. Moreover, we should constantly improve CM safety assessment method in various stages of tumor treatment, such as introducing the concept of syndrome classification theory, bringing in metabonomics and real-world research method which are similar to the CM therapeutic concept. Most importantly, we must keep its own feature of CM theory when we learn the concept of safety evaluation from abroad. Actively exploring the anti-tumor medicine safety evaluation methods and strategies is of great significance for clinical and experimental research, and it can provide supportability platform to CM's international communication.

During the last decade a lot of new learning about asthma was arisen along with the development of modern immunology and molecular biology,and asthma had been one hotspot in the studies of molecular biological and administer medical field.One of the new viewpoints was that airway neurogenic inflammation took important role in asthma development.For years scholars had suspected that airborne pollutants had an synergistic effect on the attack of asthma and could cause asthma attack,but they did not know the molecular mechanism.In 1991 Denish scholar Nielsen GD advanced a new hypothesis that airway irritation was mediated by capsaicin receptor.The pathological process included a molecular chain of message transfer as air pollutants_capsaicin receptor_Ca2+_substance P_neurokinin receptor.Airway neurogenic inflammation was the result of activation of the receptors.In 1997 American scholar Caterina MJ and his colleagues successfully obtained the cloned capsaicin receptor in expressing cells,this will make Nielsen GD's hypothesis living.

OBJECTIVETo reveal the possible mechanism involved in patella-femoral degenerative arthritis (PFDA) in- duced by torsion-deformity of tibia via analyzing the relationship between torsion-deformity of the tibia in patients with PFDA and the disorder of patella-femoral joint under the static and dynamic conditions.

METHODSFrom October 2009 to October 2010, 50 patients (86 knees, 24 knees of male patients and 62 knees of female patients) with PFDA were classified as disease group and 16 people (23 knees, 7 knees of males and 16 knees of females) in the control group. The follow indexes were measured: the torsion-angle of tibia on CT scanning imagings, the patella-femoral congruence angle and lateral patella-femoral angle under static and dynamic conditions when the knee bent at 30 degrees of flexion. Based on the measurement results, the relationship between the torsion-deformity of tibias and the disorders of patella-femoral joints in patients with PFDA were analyzed. Finally,the patients were divided into three groups including large torsion-angle group, small torsion-angle group and normal group according to the size of torsion-angle, in order to analyze the relationship between torsion-deformity and disorders of patella-femoral joint, especially under the dynamic conditions.

RESULTSCompared with patients without PFDA, the ones with PFDA had bigger torsion-angle (30.30 ± 7.11)° of tibia, larger patella-femoral congruence angle (13.20 ± 3.94)° and smaller lateral patella-femoral angle (12.30 ± 3.04)°. The congruence angle and lateral patella-femoral angle under static and dynamic conditions had statistical differences respectively in both too-big torsion-angle group and too-small torsion-angle group. The congruence angle and lateral patella-femoral angle under static and dynamic conditions had no statistical differences in normal torsion-angle group.

CONCLUSIONTorsion-deformity of tibia is the main reason for disorder of patella-femoral joint in the patients with PFDA. Torsion-deformity of tibia is always accompanied by instability of patella-femoral joint,especially under the dynamic condition, thus causing PFDA. It can not only provide arrangement information and degenerative condition of patella-femoral joint,but also provide guidance through the analysis on the relationship for better clinical prevention and early treatment of degenerative bone and joint disease.

Objective To detect the relationship between tumor markers (TM) and prognosis of NSCLC.Methods The level of TM of 178 NSCLC cases,which all accord with the standard of advanced NSCLC come from Guang'an Men Hospital of China Academy of TCM from 2006 October to 2009 March.Was divided into 5 groups:group 1 (0～3 months)、group 2 (4～6 months)、group 3 (7～9 months)、group 4 ( 10～ 12 months)、group 5 ( ＞ 12 months) according to time to progression (TTP).Studied the correlation between TM,TTP and one year survival retrospectively.Results The serum level of Ca125 in TTP 1～5 group was:(227.9± 73.3)U/ml,(83.4± 127.6)U/ml,(74.8 ± 174.5)U/ml,(53.15 ± 26.3)U/ml,(24.69± 8.78)U/ml respectively which indicated that the higher the serum level of Ca125 was,the more quickly the progress of disease would be(P=0.02); The serum level of Cyfra211 [(9.8±9.4)ng/ml,(10± 6.9) ng/ml,(41.55±9.3) ng/ml,(11.98 ± 9.9) ng/ml,(4.1 ± 0.5) ng/ml) ],CEA [ (88.4± 227) ng/ml,(75.8 ± 272) ng/ml,(57.4 ±153)ng/ml,(35.4±52.5)ng/ml,(17.1± 15.4)ng/ml] and Ca153 [(42.6±52.3)ng/ml,(47.6±147.0) ng/ml,(57.4± 153)ng/ml,(19.4± 12.7)ng/ml,(33.7± 14.6)ng/ml] was associated with prognosis,the higher level they were the lower possibility of one-year survival would be (P=0.041 ).Conclusion Ca 125、Cyfra211、CEA and Ca153 had certain value for prognostic judgment and it was of great significance that measuring rational serum tumor markers on judging prognosis of NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the clinical and neuroimaging characteristics of patients with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS). Methods The etiology, clinical manifestations, neuroimaging features, treatment, and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed in 8 patients (5 males and 3 females) with RPLS. Results The causes of RPLS included systemic lupus erythematosus (2 cases) eclampsia (one case), primary hypertension (one case), fungal encephalitis (one case), multiple myeloma (one case), renal transplantation (one case), immunosuppressant (three cases), chemotherapy (one case) and antifungal agent (one case). The clinical manifestations of these patients included headaches, seizures, visual abnormalities, and consciousness or mental disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head mainly showed symmetrical abnormalities in the posterior regions of the brain, as evidenced by low or equal signal on T_1WI, and high signal on T_2WI and FLAIR images. After treatment with antihypertensive agents, dehydration therapy, and heteropathy for 2～3 weeks, the neurological deficits of the patients were almost resolved and the initial lesions disappeared completely or almost completely in all patients at the follow-up MRI. Conclusions RPLS is a clinical entity characterized by reversible white matter damage in posterior brain. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may result in reversible resolution of its clinical symptoms and neuroradiological lesions.
