Objective:Investigate the awareness of their own rights and the safeguarding of the rights in practice,raise the patients' sense of safeguarding of the rights and help them defend the legal rights.Methods:A survey was taken among patients by applying the questionnaire.Results:There are 5 items about the patients' knowledge about their own rights and 3 items about defending their rights in practice,in which more than 85 percent of 111 patients chose the answer "always or almost".From this we can see that the awareness and safeguarding of their rights are not good enough.Conclusion: The government is appealed to break up the existence of the monopoly mold in medical treatment and to take measures to protect the rights of patients.The medical personnel should renew their concepts,pay more attention to publicizing and defending patients' rights,and help patients realize their rights.

To observe the changes in mucosal blood flow and permeability after esophageal "Z"stenting, 12 adult healthy dogs were divided into two groups, and an esophageal stent was placed in each dog. Mucosal blood flow was measured with Dopplar blood flowmeter. Two hours after stenting PEG400 was instilled into the esophagus continuously under a constant pressure for two hours in the first group. The amount of PEG400 in the stented tissue was measured with gas liquid chromatography.In the second group the same experiment was carried out 24 hours after stenting. The mucosal structure was examined with electron microscope after stenting. It was found that the mucosal blood flow decreased evidently, and the amount of PEG400 was much greater in tissue after being stented as compared with that in normal esophagus. Electron microscopy revealed that the number of desmosome of epithelium decreased, and it was disrupted significantly after stenting. The interval epithelial cells were enlarged, basement membrane was damaged. Stenting might lead to evident decrease of esophageal mucosal blood flow, which significantly impaired the junction of epithelial cells and mucosal structure, and the permeability for PEG400 was increased significantly. All these findings demonstrate that stenting might impair the esophageal mucosa.

Objective To establish a cell line of human ovarian cancer, and study its characterization. Methods The cell line was established by the cultivation of subsides walls, and kept by freezing. The morphology was observed by microscope and electromicroscope. The authors studied its growth and propagation, the agglutination test of phytohemagglutinin (PHA), the chromosome analysis, heterotransplanting, immuno histochemistry staining, the analysis of hormone, the pollution examination and the test of sensitivity to virus etc. Results A new human ovarian carcinoma cell line, designated ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma 685 (OMC685), was established from mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. This cell line had subcultured to 91 generations, and some had been frozen for 8 years and revived, still grew well. This cell line possessed the feature of glandular epithelium cancer cell. The cells grew exuberantly, and the agglutinating test of PHA was positive. Karyotype was subtriploid with distortion. Heterotransplantations,alcian blue periobic acid schiff (AbPAS),mucicarmine,alcian blue stainings, estradiol (E 2) and progesterone were all positive. Without being polluted, it was sensitive to poliovirus Ⅰ, adenovirus 7 and measles virus. Conclusions OMC685 is a distinct human ovarian tumous cell line.

Objective To study the changes of collagen content in the esophageal tissue after stenting. Methods To select healthy adult dogs as experimental subjects.Esophageal stent was installed by the method of “autogenous fascia lata femoris transplantation and fixation",the dogs were killed at the end of 1,2,4 and 8 weeks,and the esophageal tissues with stent were taken out and studied by gross observation,light microscopy and electromicroscopy. The bulk density and distribution of collagen fiber were studied by special staining and computer technology.The content of P I CP and PⅢNP in restenosis tissue were measured by radio immunoassay(RIA).The contents of hydroxyproline and total amino acid(AA) in restenosis tissue were measured by amino acid analyser. Results At week 1 and 2 the inflammatory reaction occurred evidently in stenting esophagus with granulation and fibrosis,in some sites the esophageal tissue began to proliferate towards the lumen where the fibroblasts were in the state of active proliferation and secretion .The contents of hydroxyproline and total amino acid were significantly higher in the esophageal tissue within 1 and 2 weeks of stenting than those in normal esophagus.At week 4 and 8 esophageal lumen narrowed conspicuously,with a lot of fibrotic tissue and a little of inflammatory cells.The staining density of collagen elevated gradually within 4 weeks,there after the content of collagen was stabilized.The change of P I CP and PⅢNP accorded with that of collagen staining.The content of AA at week 4 increased significantly compared with that at week 2,its level was similar to that between 4 and 8 weeks. Conclusions Re-stenosis mainly expressed as fibrosis. At week 4,8 the fibrosis stabilized gradually with the lessening of inflammatory reaction. The content of collagen in re-stenosis tissue elevated within 4 weeks,and stablilized after week 4,it was in accordance with the pathological changes of re-stenosis.

Objective To study the expression of EGF and EGFR in restenosis tissue of animal e-sophagus after several times of stenting in esophagus, and their relation with esophageal restenosis . Methods Animal models of esophageal stenosis after stenting were made from 16 adult healthy dogs, and allocated into 4 groups to take restenosis tissue as experimental samples at week 1,2,4 and 8. In addition, other 6 normal dogs served as control. To study the expression of EGF and EGFR at protein and mRNA level in these samples by immunohistochemistry ( SABC) and RT-PCR. Results At week 1 and 2, EGF and EGFR clearly expressed, the expressing level increased greatly as compared with the normal controls, the expression of EGF and EGFR existed almost in all the tissues. At week 4 the expression lessened greatly, and finally at week 8 disappeared. The positive cells for EGF were mainly macrophages, some vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, the positive cells for EGFR were mainly macrophages, lymphocyte and Fb. Conclusion After esophageal stenting, lymphocyte, macrophage and Fb in the local tissues were closely related to restenosis, and served as the important regulatory cells in the pathogenesis of restenosis.
