Operation is always thought to be the soul way to cure hepatocelluar carcinoma(HCC),but there are only 30% patients who have the opportunity to receive the operation.Transcatheter hepatic arterial cheomoembolization is the most extensive non-surgery approach to treat hepatocelluar carcinoma which also has a lot of shortcoming and limitation.It is common sense that enhancement of effectiveness of liver cancer therapy largely depends on the combined therapy.

Purpose To explore the expression of Bmi-1, p14ARF and Mdm2 in colorectal carcinoma and to find out their association with clinicopathological features. Methods The expression of Bmi-1, p14ARF and Mdm2 was detected by immunohistochemistry in 125 cases of colorectal carcinoma and 20 cases of normal colorectal tissues. Results ( 1 ) The positive rates of Bmi-1 and Mdm2 were 56. 8% and 62. 4% in colorectal carcinoma, respectively, which were much higher than that in normal colorectal tissues (20. 0% and 15. 0%). The positive rates of p14ARF was 47. 2% in colorectal carcinoma, which was much lower than that 75. 0% in normal colorec-tal tissues ( P<0. 05 ) . ( 2 ) The expression of Bmi-1 was significantly correlated with serosal invasion, lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage. The expression of p14ARF was significantly correlated with serosal invasion and Dukes stage. The expression of Mdm2 was significantly correlated with histologic grade, lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage (P<0. 05). (3) In colorectal carcinoma, the expression of Bmi-1 and Mdm2 was negatively correlated with p14ARF, respectively (P<0. 05). Conclusions Abnormal expression of Bmi-1, p14ARF and Mdm2 is involved in the occurrence, development and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma, which could be as the reference factors in judgement of biological behavior and provide a new target for clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the change of thyroid hormones and leptin at hyperuricemia (HUA)/gout.Methods A total of 96 primary gouts,65 HUAs,and 59 healthy examiners was selected.Height,weight,blood pressure,renal function,serum uric acid(SUA),glucose,lipid profiles,insulin,thyroid hormones were measured after an overnight fast.Results (1) The prevalence of subhypothyriodism at gout and HUA was 7.29％ and 15.38％,respectively.They were higher than that at healthy subjects.(2) Body mass index (BMI),systolic blood pressure (SBP),triglyceride (TG),cholesterol (CHO),thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),fasting insulin (FINS),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR),and serum leptin level were increased remarkably at gout/hyperuricemia relative to control group,whereas,free thyroid hormone (FT4) was decreased.(4) In the gout and hyperuricemia groups,TSH was used as the dependent variable for the linear multivariate regression analysis,the results showed that sex,age,BMI,SUA,FT4,HOMA-IR,and Leptin were included in the regression equation of TSH (βwere-0.27,0.832,0.946,0.198,-0.942,0.895,and 0.650,respectively).Conclusions The prevalence of subhypothyroidism in primary gout/hyperuricemia was increased.Female,age,BMI,SUA,FT4,HOMA-IR,and leptin were the independent risk factors.Insulin resistant and leptin played the media roles in the gout/HUA and hypothyroidism.

The clinical data and routine biochemical parameters of 64 maintenance hemodialysis (MHD)patients and 20 controls were analyzed in the study.Serum cystatin C levels were detected by latex particle enhalice inununo-turbidimetry:and the cardial structure and function were assessed by echocardiography.As MHD time extended,the levels of semm cystatin C increased gradually,accompanied with high incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH).The LVH-positive patients had higher systolic blood pressure and left veHtricular mass index,and had higher serum cystatin C than tllose in LVH-negative patients.The serum cystatin C levels were positively correlated with left yentricular mass index(r=0.633,P<0.01)and systolic blood pressure(r:0.397,P<0.01).The results suggest that serum cystatin levels may be an influencing factor for long-term cardiacvascular complication in MHD patients.

Objective To investigate the impact of high plasma LDL-C level with or without metabolic syndrome(MS) on the incidence of stroke in Chinese adults. Methods Totally 42 626 subjects (25 -75 years old) from Chinese National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2002 were stratified four groups based on plasma LDL-C level: < 2. 00 mmol/L group, 2. 00 -2. 50 mmol/L group, 2. 51 -3.31 mmol/L group, and ≥ 3.32 mmol/L group. The prevalence of MS (with 2005 International Diabetes Federation criteria) and stroke and the risk factors of stroke were compared among the four groups. Results ( 1 ) The prevalence of MS and stroke increased with rising of LDL-C level. The prevalence of MS in LDL-C≥3. 32 mmol/L group increased 2. 5 times (7, 9% vs 20. 1% ) as compared with that in LDL-C < 2. 00 mmol/L group and the prevalence of stroke increased 4. 2 times(0. 5% vs 2. 1% ), all P <0. 01. (2) In subjects with similar LDL-C level, the prevalence of stroke was significantly higher in a subgroup with MS than that without (P <0. 01 ). (3) After adjustment for age, sex and smoking, logistic regression analysis showed that both LDL-C level and MS were positively associated with the development of stroke; the odds ratio (OR) was 2. 35 and 3. 15 ( P < 0. 0001 ), respectively. (4) Compared with the subgroup of LDL-C < 2. 00 mmol/L without MS, OR for stroke in the subgroups of LDL-C 2. 00 -2. 50 mmol/L, 2. 51 -3. 31 mmol/L, and ≥ 3. 32 mmol / L without MS was 1.03, 1. 89, and 2.08, whereas the OR for stroke in the subgroups with MS and similar level of LDL-C was 4. 38, 5.23 and 6. 15 ; this indicated that the risk of stroke in subjects with MS increased by 3 - 4 times compared with subjects without ( P < 0. 0001 ). Conclusion Both high LDL-C level and MS are independent risk factors of stroke, but the risk of stroke will be further increased in the presence of high LDL-C level plus MS. It is suggested that combined intervention therapy of LDL-C and MS will play an important role in the prevention of stroke.

Objective To evaluate the role of autologous septal cartilage in the rhinoplasty of the wide and bulbous nasal tip. Methods A big piece of autologous nasal septal cartilage was removed and transplanted to the front of nasal septum, acting as a septal extender to fix the nasal alar cartilage,and then the shape of nasal tip was reconstructed by middle crus suture technique, excessive soft tissue under skin of tip and a part of lateral crura cartilage were removed to stand out the shape of the nasal tip. Results After one year follow-up, 118 of 126 cases achieved satisfied effects, but 8 cases dissatisfied because of their undue thick skin. Conclusions This method is reliable in the correction of the wide and bulbous nasal tip.

Objective To analyze the laws of acupoint selection of acupuncture for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD); To provide references for clinical treatment.Methods Computers were used to search articles about acupuncture for GAD from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database Resource System, Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database) and Chinese BioMedical Literature (CBM) from their respective founding dates to Dec. 31, 2015. The corresponding database was established with NoteExpress2, and the laws of acupoints were analyzed.Results Totally 41 articles were included, including 56 acupuncture prescriptions, involving 50 acupoints in 14 meridians. The frequency for acupoint selection was 287 times. There were 49 main acupoints (225 times of acupoint selection, accounting for 98.0%) and 23 matching acupoints (62 times of acupoint selection, accounting for 46.0%) in the treatment of GAD. Main acupoints with high frequency were Baihui (GV20), Shenmen (HT07), Neiguan (PC06), Sanyinjiao (SP06) and Yintang (GV29). Matching acupoints with high frequency were Zusanli (ST36), Taichong (LR3), Neiguan (PC06), Shenmen (HT07), and Fenglong (ST40). Selecting acupoints along meridian mainly depended on Governor Meridian, Taiyang Bladder Meridian of Foot, Shaoyin Heart Meridian of Hand and Jueyin Pericardium Meridian of Hand.ConclusionPrinciples of acupuncture for GAD is treatment determination from heart and brain, emphasizing syndrome differentiation and identification of diseases, and the clinic mainly adopts acupoints along meridian with symptomatic acupoints treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the characteristics and regular patterns of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) induced by Qingkailing injection for references of clinical rational drug use. METHODS:ADR cases induced by Qingkailing injection reported in Chinese pharmaceutical journals from 2003 to 2005 were retrieved and analyzed statistically. RESULTS:The ADRs induced by Qingkailing injection were more often seen in men than in women, with children and young adults showing higher percentages. Allergic reactions were the main type of adverse drug reactions. Of the total ADR cases induced by Qingkailing injection, 22 cases(33.33%) were anaphylactic shock,15(22.73%) were allergic reactions,10(15.15%) were allergy of circulation system. CONCLUSION:The ADRs induced by Qingkailing injection may be resulted form many factors, which should be given fully attention in the clinic. ADRs monitoring should be stressed when this drug being used by western medicine physicians to make sure rational use of which and to reduce incidences of ADRs.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the situation and characteristics of serious adverse drug reactions (ADR) occurred in our hospital in order to promote rational clinical drug use. METHODS: 25 severe ADR cases collected in our hospital from Jun. 2004 to Dec. 2006 were analyzed statistically and evaluated based on the ADR causality judgment criteria. RESULTS: The 25 severe ADR were associated with 21 kinds of drugs, with anti-infectives (12 kinds) making up the highest proportion, followed by traditional Chinese medicine preparations. The main systems involved in he ADR were skin and its appendages and nervous system. 3 new and severe ADR cases were found to have no report in package inserts or literature. CONCLUSION: Severe ADR may be induced by many factors, therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the awareness of rational drug use to guard against severe ADR and ensure safe and effective medication.

Objective To develop an instrument to measure the quality of life (QOL) suitable for Chinese adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and evaluate it. Methods A list of 72 items potentially related to QOL of patients with OSAHS was constructed via discussion with OSAHS related people, as well as referring to some foreign QOL instruments. Twenty patients were asked to identify the most significant items. Then, frequency, importance and impact score, which is the product of frequency and importance, of the items were calculated. Those items with an impact score equal to or greater than 1.5 were retained in the instrument. Fifty-two OSAHS patients were divided into two groups based on their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (AHI
