Objective In order to research the effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitor in combination with radiotherapy on the inhibi‐tion of breast cancer cells and breast cancer bearing nude mice .Methods Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to e‐valuate the inhibition of different concentrations of TKI on breast cancer cells ,the breast cancer cells was divided into three groups :the TKI treatment group ,the cells in the control group (no the TKI processing) and the control group (non‐TKI and X‐ray irradia‐tion group) .The sensitivity of the cells in each group to X‐ray was compared by colony formation assay .MCF7 cells were xenograf‐ted in athymic nude mice to establish the animal model ,which was used to evaluate the effect of anti‐cancer .Results Colony form‐ing test showed that the separated use of any concentrations of the TKI inhibitor could inhibit the breast cells ,and the cell viability was significantly reduced;TKI combined with X‐ray irradiation could significantly increase the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to radiation ,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Compared to TKI inhibitor or X‐ray irradiation alone ,the combi‐nation of TKI inhibitor with X‐ray irradiation could inhibit the growth of tumor effectively .Conclusion The TKI inhibitor in com‐bination with radiotherapy can effectively inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells ,which provides a new theoretical basis for the im‐plementation of the clinical breast cancer radio sensitization .

Objective To Analyze the imaging characteristics of intraparenchymal schwannoma and the related pathology,in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and be in favor of the clinics and the prognosis.Methods Four cases were confirmed to be intraparenchymal schwannoma by pathological and immunohistochemistry examination.One case was examined with precontrast and enhanced CT scanning,one with unenhanced MRI scanning,two with unenhanced and enhanced CT and MRI scanning.Their images were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the four cases,three patients were less than 30 years old,with tumors located supratentorially.Cysts were found in all cases,with nodules on the wall in 3 cases.The nodules were enhanced markedly in two cases and moderately in one ease.In addition,calcification was detected in one case and prominent peritumoral edema existed in 1 case.The picture of the pathology demonstrated Antoni type A and Antoni type B.Immunostaining showed intense immunoreactivity for S-100 protein and Vim and negative immunoreactivity for GFAP and EMA.Conclusions Intraparenchymal schwannoma mostly occurred in juvenile,which located supratentorially in most cases.The presence of a cyst and peritumoral edema together with the tumor appears to be characteristic of intraparenchymal schwannoma.Calcification or the enhanced nodule is the helpful sign for the diagnosis.Combining the imaging findings with the pathology and immunohistochemistry results can gain the accurate diagnosis.

Objective: To verify whether there exists melatoni n(Mel) receptor in human embryonic nervous system. Methods: Spec ific binding of Mel to embryonic brain and spinal cord was measured by radioliga nd binding assay. Results: 125　I-Mel binding s ites in optomeninx was the most, in eptochiasm and sniff ball was next; GTPγS d ose-de pendently inhibited the binding. Conclusion: The results demonst rate the presence of specific binding of Mel in human embryonic brain and spinal cord. GTPγS has some effect on 125　I-Mel specific binding,support ing the theory that Mel receptor is coupled to inhibitory G-proteins.

In this study, the effect of heparin-derived oligosaccharide (HDO) on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induced vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and the related signal transduction mechanisms were investigated. MTT assays were used to measure VSMCs proliferation. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. The level of key regulatory proteins in PKC, MAPK and Akt/PI3K pathways were determined by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunocytochemical methods. Meanwhile, mRNA expressions of some proto-oncogenes were assayed by RT-PCR method. Our data showed that HDO (0.01, 0.1 and 1 μmol · L(-1)) inhibited 30 ng · mL(-1) PDGF-induced VSMCs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, blocked the G1/S transition and inhibited the level of key regulatory proteins and some proto-oncogenes (P < 0.05). The results showed that HDO may decrease the key regulatory proteins expression, hence suppress the transcription of proto-oncogene and G1/S transition, finally inhibiting VSMCs proliferation.

Objective:To study the effects and safety of metformin combined with vildagliptin on the glycemic control for patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:60 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated from February 2015 to April 2016 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to different treatment methods.The control group was treated with routine treatment.The observation group was treated with vildagliptin based on the control group.The blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,two-hour postprandial blood glucose and serum as well as urinal amylase were measured before and after treatment,and the clinical curative effect of the two groups and the levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor and C-reactive protein were compared.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group was 90％,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(66.7％,P＜0.05).After treatment,the serum interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor,C-reactive protein and fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin and postprandial blood glucose levels were significantly lower than those of the control group[(7.63± 1.12)dvs(8.68± 1.30)d;(7.23± 0.95)d vs(7.89± 1.20)d;(11.14± 1.56)d vs(12.12± 1.89)d];[(12.12± 1.89)d vs(ll.20± 1.34)d;(6.89± 0.96)d vs(8.23± 1.10)d;(1.65± 0.23)d vs(3.65± 0.48)d] (P＜0.05).After treatment,the INS level of observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05) and the GLP-1 level was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Metformin combined with vildagliptin could effectively control the blood glucose of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and enhance the safety.

Objective To investigate the value of intraoperative ultrasound in the resection of hemangioblastoma.Methods Intraoperative ultrasound was applied in 17 patients who underwent resection. The size,number,location ,depth,feeding arteries and draining veins of the tumors were clearly displayed.Results Intraoperative ultrasound could real-time locate the tumor with high accuracy. Totally there were 35 tumors in 17 patients, and intraoperative ultrasound found 32 of them.The diameter of thr smallest tumor was 7 mm. Intraoperative ultrasound could displayed clearly the feeding arteries and draining veins in bigger tumors. Conclusions Intraoperative ultrasound should be routinely used in the operation of hemangioblastoma for its high detection rate.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of chloride channel blocker--niflumic acid (NFA) on the pathological process of hypoxia hypercapnia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction in rats.

METHODSWe used the model of hypoxia hypercapnia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction rats, and divided the second, third branch pulmonary artery rings randomly into four groups (n = 8): control group (N group), hypoxia hypercapnia group (H group), DMSO incubation group (HD group), niflumic acid group (NFA group). Under acute hypoxia hypercapnia conditions, we observed the effects of the three stages of hypoxia hypercapnia-induced pulmonary vasoconstriction (HHPV) incubated by NFA in the second, third brach pulmonary artery rings. At the same time, the values of rings' tension changings were recorded via the method of hypoxia hypercapnia conditions reactivity. And investigated the effect of NFA to HHPV.

RESULTS(1) Under the hypoxia hypercapnia condition, we observed a biphasic pulmonary artery contractile (the phase I rapid contraction and vasodilation; the phase II sustained contraction) response in both the second and the third branch pulmonary artery rings compared with the control group (P < 0.05 , P < 0.01); (2) The second and third pulmonary artery rings incubated by NFA which phase II persistent vasoconstriction were significantly attenuated compared with the H group (P < 0.05 , P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe blocker of the chloride channels attenuates the second and third branch pulmonary artery rings constriction in rat, especially the phase II persistent vasoconstriction, so then have an antagonistic effect on HHPV.
