OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of gemcitabine combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy on angiogen-esis and cell invasion ability of cervical cancer. METHODS:Totally 37 patients undergoing radical operation selected from Chongq-ing Kaizhou District People's Hospital during Jan. 2015-Jun. 2016 were divided into observation group(n=19)and control group (n=18). Control group was given 3-D conformal radiation and chemotherapy which included Cisplatin injection 70 mg/m2,ivgtt+Fluorouracil injection 600 mg/m2,ivgtt on 1st and 21st day after radiotherapy. Observation group was additionally given Gemcitabi-ne hydrochloride for injection 800 mg/m2,ivgtt,1st and 8th day after radiotherapy. A treatment course lasted for 28 d. The radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were conducted after 2 courses of treatment. Clinical efficacy,microvessel density (MVD) of tumor,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),Wnt1,Wnt3a,Wnt8 and β-catenin level were observed in 2 groups. The relationship of MVD with VEGF was analyzed,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The total re-sponse rate of observation group(84.2%)was significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The levels of MVD,VEGF,Wnt1,Wnt3a,Wnt8 and β-catenin in 2 groups were significantly higher than healthy tissue;above index-es of focus tissue in observation group were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). MVD was positively correlated with VEGF. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (31.6% vs. 27.8%,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Gemcitabine combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy can regulate the angiogenesis of cervical cancer cell and the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway,and reduce the invasion ability of cervical cancer cell,which may be the important mechanism of anti-tumor effect with good safety.

Objective To discuss the similarities and differences of clinical manifestation and pathological characteristics in hepatitis B virus related membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN) between children and adult. Methods Ninety cases with HBV-MN were divided into two groups according to the age:children group (33 cases) and adult group (57 cases). A retrospective control study was carried out to analyze the clinical and pathological features of the two groups. Results The incidence of anemia in children group was 45.45% ( 15/33 ), which was significantly higher than that in adult group [15.79% (9/57)](P < 0.01). Nephrotic syndrome was the largest proportion in two groups,but there was no significant difference in the composition of clinical manifestations between two groups (P >0.05). Membranous nephropathy Ⅱ was common in pathological stage in two groups. The incidence of membranous nephropathy Ⅱ in children group was 63.64% (21/33),which was significantly higher than that in adult group [42.11%(24/57)] (P < 0.05 );immunohistochemistry showed "all bright", and the deposition of HBcAg in renal biopsy was also higher than that in adult group (P < 0.05). Conclusion There are some similarities and differences in HBV-MN between children and adult patients,and these will help to improve the levels of diagnosis and treatment.

Three bacteria of decomposing lecithin and 4 bacteria of dissolving aptite were incubated for 4 weeks with sand media respectively. Phosphorus in the sand was extracted with distilled water and measured by different methods. It was found that the bacteria have a quite different ability to release P from the materials. Part of the P released became organic phosphorus compounds in microbial tissue. However, a large amount of the P was reserved in microbial cells in a form of phosphates. The direct measurement of P in the extract by molybdenum blue method would underestimate the capacity of the bacteria to release P from the materials. The correct approach was that the sand was fumigated with chloroform and then digested with acid before the measurement by molybdenum blue method.

BACKGROUND:Children with learning difficulty often present with cognitive impairments and imbalanced development of intelligence accompanied by emotional and behavioral problems.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of integrated interventions in multiple aspects for children with learning difficulties.DESIGN:A case-control study of children with learning difficulties.SETTING:Department of Pediatric Internal Medicine, Union Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University.PARTICIPANTS:This study involved school-age children of 6 to 12years old with learning difficulties who came to the department specialized in pediatric psychology for consultation from July 1998 to July 2001. The diagnosis of learning difficulties conformed to the diagnostic criteria for special learning disability in ICD-10 with IQ > 70 as an essential condition. Children with emotional disorders, mental deficiency, hyperactivity,visual and auditory dysfunctions and organic cerebral diseases were excluded. The diagnosis was further verified by a professor specialized in neuropsychology. The children voluntarily participated in the cognitive training, behavioral intervention and comprehensive trainings of senses and those who fulfilled the one-year treatment were included in this study. The ratio of therapists to the children was 1:2, and each session of treatment lasted for 90-120 minutes given 2-3 times a week, and a treatment course consisted of 24 sessions. The children were supposed to complete 4 consecutive treatment courses. Totally 31 children completed the treatment courses, including 24 boys and 7 girls with the mean age of(7.7±1.2)years who had an average IQ of 87.5±8.6.grated interventions for one year consisting of cognitive training, behavioral intervention and comprehensive training of the senses. Raven's Deductive Reasoning test and Beery Visual-Motor Integration Test were use to examine the deductive reasoning ability and visual-motor integration of the children, and visual attention test and auditory attention test, as well as sequential and reverse-sequence memory tests were employed to test their attentions. Achenbach children behavioral scale was applied to evaluate the children's behavioral problems, and Conners' questionnaire for children's behavioral problem was used to measure their attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) index.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Changes in the deductive reasoning ability, capability of visual-motor integration, attention and psychological behaviors after one year of intervention.RESULTS:All the 31 patients children entered the result analysis with no loss. After one year of integrated intervention, the children had significantly improved scores for Raven's Deductive Reasoning Test (87.51 ±8.64 vs 90.03±8.70, t=-9.610, P < 0.001) and Beery Visual-Motor Integration Test (6.75±1.74 vs 8.27±1.94, t=-9.002, P < 0.001). Obvious improvement was also seen in the visual attention test (15.90±20.11 vs 2.74±3.67), scope of auditory attention and memory (7.70±1.60 vs 11.23±1.23for sequential memory and 3.52±0.93 vs 6.97±0.16 for reversed-sequence memory, P < 0.01). The total scores for ADHD assessment declined to different extents at 3 and 6 months during the treatment and upon the completion of the treatment (22.65±3.53 vs 18.87±4.14 at month 3, 5.65±3.92at month 6 and 12.65±3.36 at one year, t=7.35-15.36, P < 0.01). The scores for 9 psychobehavioral items in Achenbach children behavioral scale obviously declined were also reduced significantly during the therapy,and 87% (26/31) of the children had obviously improved academic performance.CONCLUSION:Interventions integrating cognitive training, behavioral intervention and comprehensive training of the senses may produce good and persistent effect on the cognitive and emotional symptoms of children with learning difficulties, resulting in obviously improved visual, auditory and brain functions.

Objective To discuss the injective method, contrast agent concentration and delay time of MSCT direct venography in lower extremity vein, in order to make optimal venographic schedule. Methods Thirty-two patients with lower extremity vein diseases underwent MSCT direct venography in using different concentration and injective rate of contrast agent, and the images were analyzed. The displaying ability of MSCT direct venography in lower extremity vein segment was compared with that of X-ray venography in 22 patients. Results Blood flow correlation constructed defect was the main factor impacting image quality of CT venography in lower extremity. The image scores between the groups of injective rate 1.5 ml/s and the group of 2.5 ml/s were statistically different (χ~2=5.495, P=0.019), whereas no difference of image score was found between the group of concentration of 25% and 15% (χ~2=3.333, P=0.068). The displaying ability of CT and X-ray venography in anterior tibial vein, posterior tibial vein, popliteal vein and femoral vein was not statistically different (χ~2=2.095, P=0.148). For iliac vein, the displaying ability of CT outstripped that of X-ray venography (χ~2=8.324, P=0.004). Conclusion With the schedule of delay time 50 s, injective rate 2.5 ml/s and concentration 45 mgI/ml (nonionic 300 mgI/ml and diluted 15%), MSCT direct venography in lower extremity can acquire satisfactory image, and its displaying ability of iliac vein is better than that of X-ray venography.
