Objective To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for peripheral lung cancer. Methods Seventeen patients with peripheral lung cancer (23 nodules) were treated with ultrasound-guided microwave ablation. The microwave energy was initially set at 60 W for 100s, and then at 30~40 W for 300~600 s. The treatment was conducted by using multiple simultaneously-powered antennas in lesions ≥3 cm in diameter. Results After the treatment, all the nodules were decreased in size and the blood flow signals inside the nodule disappeared (14 nodules) or weakened (9 nodules). Enhanced CT scanning revealed no enhancement in 16 nodules and partial enhancement in 7. Repeated biopsy in 4 patients showed a complete tumor necrosis. Clinical symptoms disappeared in 8 patients and subsided in 9 patients 1 month after treatment. Follow-up observations in 15 patients for 6~47 months (mean, 23 months) showed 9 survivors, without serious complications. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation is an effective, safe, and feasible method for treating peripheral lung cancer.

BACKGROUND: Reperfusion injury and inadequate perfusion exist,causing the injury of intestinal mucosa during shock / resuscitation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate protective effect of shenfu injection (SFI) in equal dosage for human effect on intestinal mucosal pH (PHi) of sigmoid colon, the contents of nitric oxide (NO), malonialdehyde(MDA) and Ca2+ of intestinal mucosa, activity of serum diamine oxidase(DAO of rabbits during shock/resuscitation.DESIGN:A randomized controlled trial with experimental animals as the subjects.SETTING: DepartmentofAnesthesiology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Research Institute of Anesthesiology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from August to October in 2003. Twenty-four adult healthy white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups with 8 animals for each: Shenfu injection group (SFI group), shock/resuscitation group and control group .INTERVENTIONS: Hemorrhagic shock was induced by blood withdrawal from femoral artery at a rate of 2 mL/kg per minute until MAP dropped to 40 mmHg. MAP was maintained at this level for 60 minutes,then the collected auto-blood and the same volume of balanced salt solution was transfused to the animal for preparing shock/resuscitation model. In SFI group: the animals were given 2.1 mL/kg SFI together with the auto-blood transfusion and followed by a continuous infusion of 5mL/kg SFI per hour.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Intestinal mucosal pH (PHi) of sigmoid colon, NO, MDA and Ca2+ contents of intestinal mucosa, activity of serum DAO were detected before shock (So), 1 hour after shock (S1), 1 hour (R1) and 3 hour (R3) following resuscitation.the R1 reperfusion (7.171±0.102) , and R3 reperfusion (7.194±0.106) of the SFI group were higher than those of the shock/ resuscitation group (6.920±0.155,6.971±0.165,P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01) and those of the contents of the reperfusion R1 (35.090±1.184) μkat/L and R3 (32.440±2.884) μkat/L of the SFI groups were significantly higher than those of the shock/resuscitation group [(50.994±2.684),(52.377±1.217) μkat/L,P＜ 0.01] and of the control group [(15.970±1.734), (16.620±0.767)μkat/L,Pgroup were significantly lower than those in the shock/resuscitation group [ (61.8±5.3,72.2±5.8 ) μmol/g , (68.2±4.9,96.9±8.5) μmol/L ,P＜ 0.05]. Ca2+ content of intestinal mucosa at reperfusion 3 hours in the SFI group [(2.43±0.27)μmol/L] was lower than that in the shock/resuscitation group [(2.93±0.34)μmol/L,P ＜ 0.05] and higher than that in the control group [(2.26±0.31 )μmol/L, (P ＜ 0.05)].CONCLUSION: SFI in equal dosage for human effect could protect intestinal mucosa from shock/resuscitation injury through improving perfusion and oxygenation, inhibit the activity of NO, reduce oxygen free radical and calcium overload, with a good protective effect on intestinal mucosa during shock/resuscitation.

Objective To observe the effects of Sishen Pills on gene and protein expressions of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) of colonic tissue in spleen-kidney yang deficiency rats with ulcerative colitis (UC); To discuss its mechanism of action for spleen-kidney yang deficiency UC. Methods Lavage of senna +intraperitoneal injection of hydrocortisone injection + enema of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid/ethanol were used to establish the model of UC of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type. 90 Wister rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, Salazosulfadimidine group and the Sishen Pills high-, medium- and low-group. Each medication group was intervened by relevant medicine. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4, and Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4. SOD and MDA in serum were detected. Results Compared with the blank group, SOD activity decreased and MDA content increased in the model group (P<0.01); gene and protein expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4 increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group, SOD increased and MDA content decreased in all the medication groups (P<0.05, P<0.01); gene and protein expressions of TLR-2 and TLR-4 decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Sishen Pills can achieve the treatment of UC by improving the metabolism of oxygen radicals in colonic tissue and regulating the immune system of the intestinal epithelium.

Three-parent test tube baby technology is important to solve the mitochondrial genetic disease.Once available,it raises greatly ethical controversy such as breaking traditional family values,hitting the religious belief,existing unknown risks,correctly handling the failed embryo,as well as the influence on the social status of the babies.Regarding these controversy,we can discuss it from several aspects.Because the development of ethics is behind the progress of science and technology,we should affirm the value of three-parent test tube baby technology and balance the development of science and technology with respecting the religious beliefs.Strict supervision system and standard application system reflect our respect for life.Incomprehension to the unknown things should become the motivation of our inquiry.We should face up to our fear of three-parent test tube baby technology,and thus to strengthen research and deepen understanding.Based on the above argument,this paper puts forward the ethical principles that should be followed in the development of three-parent test tube baby technology,namely respect,benefit,no harm and justice.

Aim To study the effect of proteasome inhibitor MG132 on expression of Caspase-3 and UPP associated genes in the apoptosis of human hepatocelluar cancer cells.Methods HepG2 cells were treated with MG132 (2,5,10 ?mol?L -1) for 24 h. The apoptotic cells were determined with flow cytometric analysis. The levels of E1, E2, E3 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression were detected with RT-PCR. Caspase-3 protein expression was detected with immunohistochemistry. Results The results showed that the increase of the degree of HepG2 cell apoptosis was concentrationly dependent. RT-PCR showed that E1, E2 and E3 gene expressions were decreased in the treatment group. MG132 down-regulated the gene expression of E1, E2, E3 and up-regulated the gene/protein expression of Caspase-3. Conclusion Proteasome inhibitor MG132 may induce HepG2 cells apoptosis by inhibitting UPP activity,up-regulating the gene/protein expression of Caspase-3.
