ObjectiveTo determine the diurnal variation,moon phase,and seasonal variation in the onset of stroke. MethodsThe time parameters,including the time,the moon phase and the season of the stroke occurrence for 905 in-patients from 1989-2001 were investigated.ResultsThere was a significant difference (D=0.155,P<0.01) for circadian rhythm in the onset of 321 cases with cerebral infarction,and the incidence frequency at dawn was much higher than that at other time,but the difference of the moon phase and seasonal rhythm in the onset of cerebral infarction were not significant(P>0.05).There were not diurnal variation,moon phase and seasonal rhythms in the onset for cerebral haemorrhage(P>0.05).ConclusionsThe cerebral infarction occur more frequently at dawn time.

Tumor marker is a hot subject of research in oncology field,which would promote the diagnosis and treatment in clinic.Tumor markers of children's germ cell tumor include α-fetoprotein,glypican 3,SALL4,glial cell line-derived neurotropic factor receptorα-1(GFRα-1),Ki-67,octamer-binding transcription factor4,CD117,D2-40 and CD30.SALL4 would be used as a new tumor marker for germ cell tumor,specially for yolk sac tumor.GFRα-1 can be helpful for the diagnosis of immature teratoma.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of cinepazide maleate combined with oxiracetam in the treat-ment of vascular dementia. METHODS:62 patients with vascular dementia were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 31 patients in each group. Patients in control group were treated with Oxiracetam injection 4g/d for 3weeks. Patients in treat-ment group were treated with cinepazide maleate 160 mg/d for 3 weeks on the basis of control group. The patients of 2 groups were exam-ined with Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE)and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL)before and after treatment. RESULTS:There was statistically significant difference in MMSE and ADL scores of 2 groups before and after treatment(P<0.05);MMSE score and ADL score of treatment group was better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);Obvious ADR was not found in both groups. CONCLUSIONS:Cinepazide maleate combined with oxiracetam can significantly improve ADL and MMSE score in patients with vascular dementia,improve the quality of life,showing significant and good clinical efficacy.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Xiangdan point injection in upper limb spasticity after stroke. Methods56 cases were divided into two groups: 28 cases for treatment group were treated with point injection Xiangdan, combined with routine therapy. Another 28 cases for control were only routinely therapy. ResultsThe cure rate of the treatment group was 29% ,the effective rates was 100%, while that of control group was 11% and 25% respectively (P<0.01).Conclusions Xiangdan point injection is more effective in upper limb spasticity after stroke than only routine therapy.

112 cases with hemiplegia were randomly divided into three groups,training,acupuncture,and integrated training and acupuncture.Their effects were observed for three monthes.Results:the effect of the integrated training and acupuncture group was significantly better than the other two groups(P＜0.01).The results comfirmed that the motor function of the hemiplegic limbs was enhanced effectively with the integrated training and acupuncture.

OBJECTIVE:To develop the data processing program of Digoxin blood drug concentration(DBDP)and to determine the range of effective blood concentration of Digoxin.METHODS:The DBDP program was developed by VISUAL BASIC6.0and run in Windows95system.The data of blood drug concentration,which was determined with flurescence polarization immunoassay(FPIA)in our hospital,was analyzed with DBDP program and effective blood drug concentration range of Digoxin was set up.RESULTS:The DBDP program integrated functions including pharmacokinetic parameter estimation,establishment of the effective blood drug concentration range,management of the data of the blood drug concentration moni?toring,automatic addition of patient's file,multifunctional fuzzy searching,retrospective analysis and clinical query about drug use.The effective blood drug concentration range of Digoxin was0.58～2.01ng/ml.CONCLUSION:The DBDP program is a very practical tool for the development of therapeutic drug monitoring and it is very necessary to develop blood drug concen?tration monitoring and establish the effective blood drug concentration range.

Objective To explore the expression of forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) in gastric cancer cells,and its relationship with clinicpathological characteristics and prognosis of gastric cancer patients.Methods The expression profile of FOXP3 in 111 gastric adenocarcinoma tissues and 20 normal gastric mucosa were detected with immunohistochemistry,statistical analysis combined with clinical data of patients with gastric cancer.Results Positive staining of FOXP3 was mainly located in the nucleus of gastric adenocarcinoma cells with the positive rate of 42.3％ (47/112).In the normal gastric tissue,the positive rate of FOXP3 was 0％ (0/20).There were significant difference (x2 =13.207,P ＜0.05) when comparison was made between gastric adenocarcinoma and normal gastric tissue groups.Comparison of FOXP3 positive rate between gastric adenocarcinoma patients and its histological subtype (tumor size,depth of invasion,and clinical stage) showed significant difference (P ＜0.05),but (sex,age,and staging of tumor node metastasis (TNM),lympho node metastasis and differentiation) showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).In the survival analysis,there was no significance in survival rate between the FOXP3 positive group and FOXP3 negative group either (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The FOXP3 were expressed in the human gastric cancer specimens.To a certain extent,FOXP3 was involved in the development of gastric adenocarcinoma and related to the degree of malignancy,but is not related to the prognosis of gastric cancer.

TPX2(targeting protein for Xklp2)is a microtubule-associated protein in a new family of vertebrate spindle pole components.TPX2 is diffusely distributed all over the nucleus during the cell cycle phases S and G_2 and play important roles in mitotic spindle formation.TPX2 over expression was found in a variety of malignant tumors,that are asssociated with the centrosome amplification,aneuploidy,cell transfor- mation and the biological behavior of tumor.Blocking the expression of TPX2 can inhibit the growth of tumor cells.TPX2 may serve as a new candidate target for tumor therapy.The study progress of its structure and function,expression levels in cell cycle,molecular mechanism etc.was reviewed.
