Objective To determine whether ultrasound mediated microbubble destruction could increase naked human wild type p53 plasmid delivery to ovarian cancer in rats by intratumoral injection. Methods Forty rats with ovarian cancer successfully induced by chemical intoxicant were divided into four groups.The wild type p53 gene was cloned into a high expressing efficiency eukaryotic plasmid pcDNA 3.1+ and the mixture of naked human wild type p53 plasmid was carefully injected directly into the center of ovarian neoplasms with or without echo contrast agent, and it was exposed to ultrasound for twenty minutes once a week.Two months after p53 gene transfection, semiquantitative RT-PCR was used to detect wild type p53 mRNA expression and western blot was to evaluate p53 protein expression level. Results Recombinated eukaryotic expression plasmid DNA encoding pcDNA 3.1+ /p53 was successfully constructed and confirmed by sequence analyzing and endonuclease cutting. The ovarian cancer model of rat was obtained by exposure to intoxicant. Expression of human wild type p53 mRNA was significantly higher in rats transfected with wild type p53 plasmid by means of ultrasound and contrast agent than others(P

Objective To explore the clinical therapeutic effects of postoperative intracranial infection in neurosurgery.Methods Between January 2014 and January 2014,50 patients with postoperative intracranial infection in the department of neurosurgery in our hospital were selected in this study.Among the 50 patients,25 patients were treated by intravenous antibiotic therapy,15 patients were treated with intrathecal and intravenous antibiotics treatment,10 cases were treated by intrathecal injection,intravenous antibiotics and lumbar pool catheter drainage way for treatment,and then we observed the clinical therapeutic effect of three groups of patients.Results In 50 patients,37 patients were cured,3 cases had marked effect,8 patients had effect,2 patients had no effect.Conclusion For patients with neurosurgical operations,to maximally reduce the risk of intracranial infection,it is necessary to take antibiotics according to the actual situation of patients,and make different treatment schemes according to the difference of infection.

Referring to the rapid developed life science and the higher requirements for the approval of innovative Chinese drugs in recent years, this paper described systematically the discovery, research and development (R&D) approaches for the innovative Chinese drugs under the new situation from the following five aspects, i. e., active components discovered from TCMs, the discovery of effective fractions of TCMs and their formulae, the R&D of TCM innovative drugs based on famous classic prescriptions and famous Chinese patent drugs, and the transformation of clinical effective prescriptions, on the basis of analysing the advantages of innovative drugs derived from natural products based on TCM theories and the problems existed in current R&D of new TCM drugs. Moreover, five suggestions are also given for the rapid development of TCM innovative drugs in China. All these will provide reference for the R&D of TCM innovative drugs.

Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a breakthrough in the field of hepatobiliary surgery.The remnant liver regeneration was stimulated during the first stage of the operation,and the radical resection of the tumor could be successfully carried out during the second stage of the operation.ALPPS is a new approach for patients with tumor which is previously considered unresectable during one hospital stay.In April 2014,a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the right liver and liver cirrhosis was admitted to the Southwest Hospital.Preoperative examination confirmed that the ratio of the remnant liver volume to the standard liver volume was 26.9％,which indicated that the patient was inappropriate to receive radical resection of HCC.Therefore,totally laparoscopic ALPPS was applied.In the first stage of the operation,the portal vein ligation associated with liver hanging tape placement and in situ splitting of liver were carried out after hanging the Glisson's pedicle under the laparoscope.Thirteen days after the first stage of the operation,the ratio of the remnant liver volume to the standard liver volume was 40.6％.The second stage of the operation was carried out 14 days after the first stage of the operation.The right hepatic pedicle and right hepatic vein were transected with a stapler.The tumor was removed after full mobilization of the right liver.The distance between the resection margin to the tumor was 1.5 cm.No complications were detected after the first stage of the operation,while the patient was complicated with pleural effusion after the second stage of the operation and was cured by pleural puncture and drainage.The patient was discharged at postoperative day 9 and followed up at postoperative month 1.The results of follow-up confirmed that the hepatic function was normal,and no mass occupying lesions and pleural effusion were detected.Totally laparoscopic ALPPS is safe and feasible with satisfactory short-term efficacy.
