AFP from fetal serum and serum of patients with primary hepatic cancer were purified by affinity chromatography. Then, the lentil lectin-reactive and nonreactive variants of these purified glycoproteins were prepared by affinity chromatography with immobilized lectin. Glycopeptides and oligosaccharides were prepared from variants by protease treatment and hydrazinolysis, respectively, and subjected to carbohydrate and amino acid analysis. A small difference in the carbohydrate compositions of each variant was observed. Analysis of chemical compositions of AFP variants is useful for the differential diagnosis between benign liver diseases and primary hepatic cancer.

Objective To explore conduct disorder tendency and it's influence factors on secondary school students. Methods 669 students of grade 1 in Dezhou Vocational and Technical College were investigated by Conduct Disorder Tendency Questionnaire, Revised Version of MBI-SS and SRHMS Version1.0. Results The secondary vocational school students' scores on violation tendency, addiction tendency and aggression tendency were 11.51±4.08,5.90±2.68 and 6.68±2.63,and were significant different from vocational college students or high school students(addiction tendency:F(2, 1578)=7.48,P =0.001;aggression tendency:F(2, 1579)=24.40,P <0.001). There existed great capable difference of conduct disorder according to genders ( t(643)>3.85,P <0.001).Conduct disorder tendency of secondary vocational students' was positive correlated with their learning burnout (Pearson correlation coefficient was between 0.16 and 0.52 for each pair), but negative correlated with mental health(Pearson correlation coefficient was between -0.13 and -0.27 for each pair). The linear regression showed that some dimensions of learning burnout and self-rated mental health predicted students' conduct disorder tendency. Conclusion Conduct disorder tendency of secondary vocational students is affected by their learning burnout and mental health.

Objective To investigate the effect of liver function with portal vein occlusion (PVO) in various phases and the following restoration portal vein flow on intestinal mucosal cells. Methods Twenty-four healthy adults white Japanese rabbits were randomized into 1 control group and 2 experimental groups (according to portal vein clamping for 30 min and 45 min). Each experimental group's blood samples were collected from caval vein 1 h before operation, by the end of portal vein oc-cluded, 30 min, 60 rain after relief of portal vein blocking, then with restoration of portal vein flow for 2 h and rabbit guts were continuously cut to sections for HE, TUNEL staining and Bcl-2, Bax protein immunohistochemical staining to observe the injury of intestinal mucosa cell apoptosis and the relation-ship between the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax. The levels of blood glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST) were measured and compared. Results The levels of ALT, AST in the control group did not significantly change. Compared with control group, group B did not change significantly with PVO 30 rnin in liver enzyme and they were significantly increased after portal vein occlusion relief. The levels of ALT and AST were increased obviously at 45 min with PVO, then raised again. Down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression, up-regulation of Bax expression and the increased index of apoptotic cell were found in each experimental group. Conclusion It may be more safe with PVO for 30 min. But the following restoration portal vein flow will bring about ischemia-reperfusion injury that is mainly apoptosis in the small intestine. The index of apoptosis will be raised with time prolongation of PVO.

CXCR4, a receptor for stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1, also know as CXCL12) and a member of the chemokine receptor family, has been shown to play an important role in the proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells. CXCR4 expression is an early event in breast cancer development and may serve as a biomarker for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Expression of CXCR4 has been demonstrated to correlate with metastasis and poor prognosis in breast cancer. Inhibition of CXCR4 expression may be a potential target of breast cancer treatment.

Activities of N-acetyl-?-glucosaminidase (NAG) in sera of normal subjects and patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other diseases were microquantitatively determined by spectrophotometry. The results showed that after the reaction for 4 h, activity of serum NAG in patients with HCC (397.10 ? 174.97 nmol/ml) was obviously higher than that in normal subjects (280.00 ? 63.83 nmol/ml). The elevation of serum NAG in HCC patients had no relationship with their serum a-fetoprotein. However, the increase of serum NAG activity in some patients with benign liver diseases was always accompanied by the abnormality in their liver functions. It is suggested that serum NAG has some referable values in the diagnosis of HCC.
