Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach ( HAS) belongs to one of the rare cases in gastric cancer types ,which has extremely high malignant degree and poor prognosis .Lymph node metastasis and liver me-tastasis are common in HAS.In this article,we reported alpha-fetoprotein-high-producing hepatoid adenocar-cinoma of the stomach(HAS),and reviewed the related literature at home and abroad in order to improve clinical physicians understanding of these diseases and treatment experience .

Objective:To simultaneously determine the contents of asarinin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammio-side in Xinqin granules. Methods:An HPLC method was used. The determination was performed on a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 col-umn(150 mm ×4.6mm,5 μm) with the mobile phase consisting of menthol (A)-water (B) with gradient elution. The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The column temperature was 30℃. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm from 0 to 30 min and 287nm from 30 to 55 min. The injection volume was 10μl. Results:The linear range of prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, asarinin and 5-O-methylvisammio-side was 10.210-163.400 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 7),10.160-162.600 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 8) and 5.015-80.240 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 8), respectively. The average recovery was 100. 30%(RSD=1. 6%, n=6),101. 53%(RSD=1. 1%,n=6) and 101. 12%(RSD=1. 2%, n=6), respectively. Conclusion: The method is simple and accurate, which can be used in the quality control of Xinqin granules.

Forty cases of type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus were treated by puncturing point Neiguan (PC 6), and the effect on their cardiac vegetative nerve functions were observed at 20 min, 40 min and 60 min after acupuncture respectively. The findings showed that all heart rate variables improved remarkably at the three time periods after acupuncture treatment, with significant differences (P＜0.01); but there was no significant difference in the curative effects among the three time periods.

The results of isolation,screening and identification of Bacillus subtilis strains which produced fibronolysion were reported in this paper.20 Bacillus subtilis strains were screened from different withered straw samples.Among them,FM-S1,FM-S2,FM-S6,FM-S8 and FM-S11 produce fibronolysin with higher activity.According to morphological,physiological and biochemical characters,the screened strains were confirmed to be Bacillus subtilis. For FM-S2,the production of fibronolysin type in solid fermentation was considered to be synchronous with growth.

OBJECTIVETo explore the association between C825T polymorphism of G protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) gene and different Hilit types of essential hypertension (EH) in the Uygur nationality of Xinjiang.

METHODSAccording to Uygur medical theories, EH patients (as the EH group) and non-EH patients (as the control group) were assigned to four Hilit groups. The C825T polymorphism of GNB3 was detected in 161 EH patients and 379 non-EH subjects of different Hilit types by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to explore the difference of the genotypes and allelic frequencies and hypertension.

RESULTS(1) In Xinjiang Uygur population, the distribution frequencies of GNB3 C825T polymorphism were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg (chi2 = 0.871, P = 0.647). (2) There was no statistical difference in the distribution frequencies of three genotypes and two alleles of GNB3 between the EH group and the control group (P > 0.05). (3) There was statistical difference in distribution frequencies of three genotypes between the abnormal Sapra and non-abnormal Sapra group (the sum of abnormal Sewda, abnormal Kan, and abnormal Balhem) (chi2 = 6.905, P = 0.032), especially between the abnormal Sapra and abnormal Balhem groups (chi2 = 10.404, P = 0.006), but there was no statistical difference in distribution frequencies of alleles between the two groups (P > 0.05). (4) In 161 EH patients, there was statistical difference in the distribution frequencies of three genotypes and two alleles between the abnormal Sapra and non-abnormal Sapra group (chi2 = 9.034, P = 0.011; chi2 = 4.701, P = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONSBoth TT genotype and T allele of GNB3 C825T polymorphism might not be associated with EH patients in Xinjiang Uygur populations. However, they were correlated with hypertension patients of non-abnormal Sapra, indicating the pathogeneses of EH with different Hilit types might be different.

AIMTo explore the possible effect of the deleted in azoospermia (DAZ) copy cluster deletion on spermatogenesis in the Chinese population, the deletion of the azoospermia factor c (AZFc) region was analyzed in 346 normozoospermic men.

METHODSThree DAZ single nucleotide variant loci and seven AZFc-specific sequence-tagged sites were examined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism and routine PCR.

RESULTSFive (1.4%) of the normozoospermic men were found to have deletion of gr/gr-DAZ1/DAZ2. None of the men were found to have b2/b4-entire DAZ deletion.

CONCLUSIONThe presence of gr/gr-DAZ1/DAZ2 deletion in five men with normozoospermia suggests that this deletion per se may not be sufficient for spermatogenic impairment in Chinese men.
