This paper summerized the surgical treatment of primary bronchogenic carcinoma in 3568 cases between 1957-1991. The resectability rate was 90. 3%, postoperative morbidity rate 8.32% and operative mortality 0. 89%. Pathological diagnoses of the resected specimens included squa-mous cell carcinoma for 48.7%, adenocarcinoma 22.9%, small cell cancer 15. 4%, large cell cancer 1. 3% and squa-mous-adenocarcinoma in 10.1%. The follow-up rate was 93%. The 5-and 10-year survival rates were 34.6% and 22.79% respectively. Analyses of the data demonstratad that the histologic type, pathological stage and metastasis of mediastinal lymph node are the important factors affecting the prognosis. According to UICC P-TNM,42. 6% of the patients in this group were in stage III. The 5 year survival rate was 19% in IIIa patients and 6% in IIIb. According to authors experience, it is recommended that in IIIa patients with nonsmall cell cardinoma, active surgical treatment should be adopted; in patients with small cell carcinoma, chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be given pre-and postoperatively, in IIIb patients with small cell carcinoma, surgical treatment is generally not indicated.

Objective Non-small-cell lung cancer with ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node metastasis (N2) belongs to heterogeneous subgroup. We analyzed the prognosis of patients with resected N2 NSCLC to determine the clinical significance. Methods The present study comprised 146 consecutive patients whom underwent surgical resection of N2 NSCLC between January 1997 and January 2000. Histological type, location, T primary tumor status, operation mode, clinical N2 (cN2) factor, N2 level(single or multiple), number of positive nodes(N2-num), and the cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy were estimated from the date of operation using the Kaplan-Meier and Log Rank analysis. The Cox regression model evaluated the influence of factors on the survival. Results The 3-and 5-year survival rate of these N2 NSCLC patients were 19.86% and 14.56%, respectively. The patients with tumor in the right lower lobe showed a significantly longer survival than left lobes. The histological type, tumor location, cN2 factor, N2 level and N2-number were associated with survival. A multivariate analysis using Cox regression identified 4 factors of prognosis: tumor site, T status, N2 level and clinical N2 status. Conclusion This article has identified N2 NSCLC subgroups and found that patients with mN2, N2L1 and single N2 have better prognosis.

A magnetic extraction sorbent based on Fe3 O4@poly ( methacrylic acid-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) ( Fe3 O4@MAED ) was synthesized using methacrylic acid and ethylene dimethacrylate as monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The magnetic sorbent was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and transmission electron microscopy. At the same time, the Fe3 O4@MAED was used to extract four benzoylurea pesticides in water and juice samples under magnetic dispersive solid phase microextraction ( MDSPME ) format. To obtain the optimal extraction conditions, several parameters, including the amount of sorbent, desorption solvent, extraction and desorption time, pH value, and ionic strength in sample matrix were investigated. Based on this, a fast, simple and sensitive method for the determination of benzoylurea pesticides in water and juice samples was developed by the combination of MDSPME with HPLC equipped with diode array detector. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the developed method possessed expected linear dynamic ranges, coefficients of correlation ( R2>0. 99 ) and sensitivity. The limits of detection (S/N=3) for target analytes were 0. 10-0. 19 μg/L in water and 0. 12-0. 30 μg/L in juice, respectively. The RSDs for intra-day were less than 7% and inter-day RSDs were less than 11%. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of benzoylurea pesticides residues in water and juice samples and the recoveries of spiked target compounds were in the range of 69. 4%-118. 0%. The results demonstrated that the Fe3 O4@ MAED could extract benzoylurea pesticides effectively through multi-interactions including hydrophobic, hydrogen-bond and ion-exchange interactions between sorbent and analytes.

Objective:To investigate the effect of exogenous nitric oxide(NO) on the growth and proliferation of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. Methods:The inhibitory effects of NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine methylester(L-NAME) on the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells were analyzed by MTT assay. The changes of mRNA and protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and caspase-3 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The cell cycle was measured using flow cytometry. Results:Compared with control group, more cells in the SNP group were arrested at G_1 and G_0 phases (P<0.05) and fewer cells were at S phases (P<0.05). SNP decreased the speed of cell-cycle progression from G_0/G_1 phase into S phase. SNP inhibited the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells and reduced the mRNA and protein expressions of PCNA and caspase-3. NOS inhibitor L-NAME reversed the effects of SNP. Conclusion:NO inhibited cell growth and proliferation, but accelerated apoptosis of gastric cancer cells.

Objective To observe activated cerebral areas during the task of writing in second language by early and late acquisition bilinguals and explore the neuropsychological mechanism. Methods Twelve subjects were divided into group of early acquisition high proficiency bilinguals(EAHP) and group of late acquisition high proficiency bilinguals(LAHP). Each subject carried out the task of pseudo-writing and English writing. After functional imaging,statistical parametric mapping was used to compare data of the two tasks through paired- t test in both two groups. A conjunction analysis was conducted between the two groups also. Areas where the metabolism of glucose changed were analyzed. Then, the corresponding images about activated cerebral regions were obtained.Results Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in EAHP: bilateral middle frontal gyrus( Z=4.35/2. 01 ), bilateral cerebellum ( Z = 2.97/2.53 ) and left head of caudate nucleus ( Z = 3.07 ), etc. Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in LAHP: right superior frontal gyrus(Z=4.06), right cerebellum( Z=4.63), left putamen(Z=2.70) ,etc. Cerebral areas where the metabolism of glucose increased in compared data of LAHP with data of EAHP: right frontal gyrus ( Z = 2.92 ), right temporal lobe( Z = 2.31 ), etc. Conclusion Extensive cerebral cortex and subcortical structures participate the process of writing in the second language. Age of bilingual acquisition is one of the factors affecting cerebral localization of writing in second language.
