Objective To study the relationship between HAI and HBsAg, HCV in HCC, pericarcinomatous tissues. Methods The patterns of HBsAg and HCV in 100 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and their surrounding liver tissues were studied on paraffin-embeded sections with immunohistochemistry technique, and pericarcinomatous tissues were scored in Knodell’s histological activity index(HAI). Results The score of HAI in the group of co-infection of HBV, HCV is the highest in the four groups(12.62?3.88). The score of HAI in the group which is not infected by HBV, HCV is the lowest in the four groups(6.67?2.58). HBV, HCV virus infection were positively correlated with HAI(rs=0.39,P=0.0001). HBsAg and HCV were detected both in HCC and pericarcinomatous tissues. The positive rate of HBsAg in Pericarcinomatous Tissues(79%) was higher than that of in HCC tissues(23%). HCV expressions in HCC(15%) and pericarcinomatous tissues(23%) had no differences. Conclusions As for the tissues of liver cancer with virus infection background, the HAI is obviously higher than that without virus infection background. HBV, HCV virus infection were correlated with HAI significantly, perennial virusemia will aggravate pathological changes of liver tissue.

Objective To evaluate the causes of the metamorphopsia in patients with reattached retina after scleral buckling surgery. Methods Amsler grid test, ophthalmoscopic examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed on 79 patients (79 eyes) with reattached retina at the 2nd week, 2nd, 6th month and 1st year after scleral buckling operation. Results Two weeks after the operation, 51 patients (51 eyes, 64.56%) complained of metamorphopsia, and 44 patients (44 eyes, including 35 with and 9 without metamorphopsia) were examined by OCT and FFA. In patients with metamorphopsia, the results of OCT in 31 (88.57%) revealed abnormal macula with seven kinds consisting mostly of stratum neuroepithelium detachment (74.29%), while of FFA in 6 patients showed abnormal macular (17.14%) including 4 with neuroepithelium detachment (66.67%). In patients without metamorphopsia, abnormal macula could be found in 2 by OCT while nothing special was seen in FFA. Most abnormal macula in patients followed-up 2 months, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively meliorated as time went by, with alleviative or disappeared metamorphopsia; while the patients with persistently existing macular membrane had aggravating metamorphopsia. Conclusions Abnormal macula is the main reason for metamorphopsia after scleral buckling surgery. Neuroepithelium detachment and macular membrane are the main causes of metamorphopsia at the early and terminal stage after operation.

Aim To investigate the effect of tanshinol on bone mineral density and microstructure of proximal tibias in rats with bone loss induced by glucocorticoid. Methods Sixty 7-month-old female SPF SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups with 1 0 rats per group:control group(saline:5 ml·kg -1 ·d -1 ),glucocorti-coid group (prednisone acetate:6 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ), glucocorticoid +low dose of tanshinol group(1 2.5 mg ·kg -1 ·d -1 ),glucocorticoid +medium dose of tan-shinol group (25 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ),glucocorticoid +high dose of tanshinol group (50 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ), glucocorticoid +(positive control drug)calcitriol group (0.045 μg · kg -1 · d -1 ).Rats were gavaged with prednisone acetate continuously for 1 4 weeks to estab-lish the bone loss model.Meanwhile,tanshinol and calcitriol were orally administered to the rats which were treated with prednisone acetate for intervention. At the end of the experiment,the left proximal tibias were collected for Micro-CT scanning and three-dimen-sional reconstruction of cortical and trabecular bone re-
spectively to observe the changes of bone microstruc-ture and test related parameters.Results Bone min-eral density was decreased and bone microstructure was destroyed in proximal tibias of rats after treatment with glucocorticoid.Both tanshinol (25 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ) and calcitriol(0.045 μg·kg -1 ·d -1 )could increase bone mineral density and improve bone microstructure in proximal tibias without significant differences be-tween each other.Tanshinol (50 mg · kg -1 · d -1 ) could improve bone microstructure to some extent,but it had no significant effect on bone mineral density. Tanshinol(1 2.5 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 )had no significant effect on bone mineral density or microstructure.Con-clusion Oral administration of tanshinol (25 mg · kg -1 ·d -1 )to the rats treated with glucocorticoid can increase bone mineral density and improve bone micro-structure in proximal tibias.

Objective To evaluate the effect of stereotactic radiotherapy combined with conventional radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients with positive stump at the resected bronchial margin. Methods From June 1996 to November 2000, 41 NSCLC patients in whom microscopic residual disease found pathologically at the resected bronchial margin were treated by: conventional radiotherapy followed by stereotactic radiotherapy ( RT+SRT group 18 patients), while the other 23 patients received routine radiotherapy alone (RT group). Results The 1-,2-and 3-year local disease-free rates were better in RT+ SRT group (92.3%,~83.1% and 83.1%) than those in RT group (80.2%,60.2% and 39.5% ). However, no significant difference was found in the complication rate or survival rate between the two groups. Conclusions Stereotactic radiotherapy is effective as a boost irradiation to patients with non-small cell lung cancer with microscopic residual disease at the resected bronchial margin by improving the local control.

Objective Focusing on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infections(CRBSI) in clinical practice, to provide clinical evidences for reducing the incidence of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections Methods The related articles within the latest 5 years were reviewed, and the related monitoring data of the hospital were analyzed. Results ( 1 )The pathogens of CRBSI invaded bloodstream through the puncture point/hub, and the pathogens of the secondary CRBSI came from the infections in other sites, invading bloodstream and adhering the catheter tip. (2)Highlights on the diagnosis of CRBSI: For the patients with CVC, the possibility of the CRBSI should be considered when severe fever not due to non-infectious causes occurred. Infection occurring time and pathogen are different between the general catheters and the anti-infective catheters. The effect of antiinfection of the anti-infective catheters are limited. To pull out the catheters is the most effective treatment measures. Routine puncture point culture should be rejected. ( 3 ) Prevention of CRBSI: The indications of CVC intubation should be undisputed. Silicone catheter should be used. The catheter should not be indwelled more than 5 days. Conclusions Invasive operation, the lasting time of catheterization and using a lot of antibiotics are the susceptible factors for CRBSI. Hospital should establish suite intervention methods and operation procedures,strengthen education of the medical staff and proceed with targeted monitor for decreasing the rate of infectious.

Aim To explore the effects of tanshinone IIA on cell proliferation via G protein-coupled estrogen receptor inductive and regulative pathway in typical es-trogen receptor and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor positive T47D breast cancer cells. Methods The pro-liferation rate of T47 D cells influenced by tanshinone IIA was analyzed by MTT assay. G protein-coupled es-trogen receptor agonist G1 and GPER antagonist G15 were employed as tools. GPER SiRNA was applied to build GPER gene silence T47D cells. GPER expres-sion influenced by tanshinone IIA was measured by Western blot. Results The proliferation rates of T47D cells treated with 1 × 10 -5 mol·L-1 - 1 × 10 -7 mol· L-1 of tanshinone IIA were decreased significantly. Such effects could be attenuated by G1 or enhanced by G15 . Growth of GPER SiRNA transfected T47 D cells were significantly inhibited by 1 × 10 -5 mol·L-1 - 1 × 10 -7 mol·L-1 of tanshinone IIA treating. Result of Western blot showed that tanshinone IIA at 1 × 10 -5 mol· L-1 and 1 × 10 -6 mol · L-1 could induce de-crease of GPER protein expression in T47D cells. Conclusions Tanshinone IIA shows inhibitory effects on proliferation rate of T47 D breast cancer cells via GPER pathway. Tanshinone IIA could perform regula-tive function on GPER expression level in target cells.
