Objective To explore clinical effect of modified postural drainage for treating pulmonary infection of senile patients with gastric cancer.Methods 107 cases of patients with gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n =53) and treatment group (n =54),which were respectively treated by routine postoperative therapy and nursing measures and modified postural drainage based on these routine measures,and compared daily amount of expectoration sputum,positive cases of sputum culture,restore time of postoperative blood test,postoperative fever time,cases of pulmonary infection on the postoperative tenth day and length of stay.Results Daily amount of expectoration sputum of patients in treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group [(185.7 ± 23.7) ml vs.(99.7 ± 17.6) ml] (P ＜ 0.05).However,restore time of postoperative characters of blood test [white blood cell count (2.9±0.9) d vs (5.0±0.7)d,C-reaction protein (35±0.7)d vs.(7.4±0.6) d],postoperative fever time [(1.9±0.5) d vs.(3.6±1.4) d],cases of atelectasis (5 cases vs.19 cases) and length of stay [(1.9±0.5) d vs.(3.6±1.4) d] were respectively significantly less than those of control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Modified postural drainage could effectively prevent postoperative atelectasis and pulmonary infection,significantly reduced incidence of postoperative atelectasis of senile patients with gastric cancer operation,and so it was worthy of clinical application.

Objective To study the localization of specific allergen of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. \ Methods\ Through optical microscope,the specific allergens of D.pteronyssinus were observed in paraffin sections using D.pteronyssinus\|specific IgE antibodies from the patient sera. \ Results and Conclusion \ The digestive system was found occupying large parts of body cavity of D.pteronyssinus by HE staining, while the specific allergens of D.pteronyssinus were mostly occurred in the midgut tissue, gut contents, cuticle and reproductive system in the immunostained sections. The results also showed that many parts of D. pteronyssinus were recognized by the specific IgE antibodies obtained from allergic individuals to D.pteronyssinus, which provided a theoretic base for further study of isolation and purification of the specific allergen.

Objective To study the influences by a Cyelin-dependent kinase inhibitor Roscovitine on cell cycle in mitotic hepatoma carcinoma cell SMMC-7721. Methods Microscope,MTT, flow cytometry and R-T PCR were used to observe the effects of Roscovitine on morphology, proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and the mRNA expression of CDK2, Caspase-3, bcl-2 in SMMC-7721 cells. Results Roscovitine inhibited the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells in dosage and time dependent manner and induced apoptosis. Flow cytometry showed the ratio of G0, G1 increased. R-T PCR showed that the expression of bcl-2 reduced, Caspase-3 increased. Conclusion Reseovitine can inhibit the growth, proliferation, block the cell cycle at G0/G1 and promotes apoptosis of mitotic SMMC-7721 cells, and the mechanism of apoptosis is dependent on the activity of bcl-2 and Caspase-3.

Objective To study the effect of various methods determining lung volume and fraction dose on the lung dose-volume parameters for lung cancer patients. Methods Twenty patients with lung cancer were rantdomly enrolled into our study and the plan of three dimensional eonformal radiation therapy(3DCRT)was designed by Varian Eclipse TPS.The lung volumes and the dose-volume parameters were measured under CT value of-300- -980, -400- -980 and -500- -980.Under CT value of -400- -980,total lung volumes were confirmed.The dose-volume parameters of V30,V20,V10 and mean lung dose(MLD)were reevaluated after GTV,CTV and PTV were subtracted from the total lung volumes and when the fraction dose was elevated from 2.0 Gy to 10.0 Gy. Results When the CT value ranged from-300--980 to-500--980,the median reduction of the total lung volumes(-9.10%)was significantly higher than that of V30,V20,V10 and MLD(-3.18%,-1.13%,0.82%and-0.79%,respectively).When the total lung volume was fixed at CT value of-400--980,the alterations of V30,V20,V10 and MLD became more apparent as the increase of the subtracted lung volume,among which the alteration of V30 was most significant while V10 the least.Among five cases with a fixed total dose of 60 Gy and PTV less than 140 cm3,the V30,V20,V10 and MLD were increased to a similar extent(about 40%)when the fraction dose was increased from 2.0 Gy to 10.0 Gy.MLD was increased(36%)when the fraction dose was above 6.0 Gy. Conclusions When CT value ranges from-300- -980 to-500- -980,the total lung volume is influenced most.The alteration of V30,being statistically significant,might have some significance but is not enough to determine the plan of radiotherapy clinically.The alteration of V20、V10 and MLD is not statistically significant.When the overlapped target volume is subtracted from the total lung volumes,the alteration of V30 is the most sign:tifhcant while V10 the least.The fraction dose,being the most consuming factor(＞10%)when comparing with the CT valHe and targeted volume,can significantly influence the dose-volume parameter.

In order to investigate the comprehensive quality differences of the seeds harvested in different growing time, and offer theoretical guide for the optimization of seeds' production technology, we analyzed the apparent size, 1 000-grain weight, water absorbency, germination indexes, postharvest embryo rate change, relatively contents of coumarins and the yield of single plant of its seeds of different harvesting time, and compared their comprehensive quality by Topsis analysis. The results showed that there existed obvious differences in yield and quality between seeds of 3 harvesting times. While the harvesting time postponed, the yield of single plant raised, and the shrunken seeds rate decreased, the quality of seedlings increased, while the contents of coumarins showed a steady increase, and the germination rate decreased. The comprehensive quality of the seeds harvested in the black ripe time rank the first place, followed by the brown ripe time and the yellow ripe time. As the harvesting time delays, the seeds' comprehensive quality increases, therefore, we could put off the seeds' harvesting time properly for the high efficient seed production.

Objective To learn the plague's host animals and parasitic flea composition, and to investigate the natural foci of plague in Xiji county in order to provide basic information for plague prevention and control. Methods The Citellus alaschanicus density, nocturnal rodents, the body flea, the burrow track flea, the nest flea were investigated in 8 townships (town) of Xiji county from June 11 2007 to July 25 2007. Specimens of small mammalian, fleas were collected for bacteriological and serological testing. Results The average density of the main host Citellus alaschanicus was 0.85 per hectare. The nocturnal mouse capture rate was 0.80%(24/2987).The survey found 16 species of small mammals that belonging to 3 orders, 9 families and 16 species with Citellus alaschanicus the dominant species. The Citellus alaschanicus had 2.84 fleas per body. Four families and 16 species of fleas were identified in the areas. The Citellus alaschanicus and Citellophilus Tesquorum Mongolicus were the dominant species. Plague bacteriology and serology tests were negative. Conclusions The study shows that the area is suitable for the formation of natural foci of Citellus alaschanicus plague. Surveillance is an important measure for prevention and control of the plague.

Objective To observe the dynamic serological test results of 28 patients with acute brucellosis,and to investigate the relationship between serological test results and diagnosis,curative effect and prognosis of brucellosis.Methods Twenty eight patients(infected with sheep brucellosis) with acute brucellosis in the Department of Brucellosis in Heilongjiang Provincial Land Reclamation Headquarters General Hospital were selected as research subjects,and their serological changes were tested by means of tube agglutination test (SAT)and clinical outcomes were compared before and after each stage of treatment.In addition,symptoms of fever,weakness,sweating,joint pain,swollen lymph nodes and biochemical parameters [alanine aminotransferase (ALT),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)] were also tested 3,6 and 9 weeks after the treatment.Results Antibody titer reached the peak at the third week,1 ∶ 400(++),which accounted for 39.29％ (11/28); 2857％(8/28) of the patients became negative at the sixth week; 50.00％ (14/28) became negative at the ninth week.Before the treatment,20(71.43％) patients had the symptom of fever,8 (28.57％) patients had the symptom of hyperhidrosis,28 (100.00％) patients had the symptom of joint pain,7(25.00％) patients had the symptom of lymph node enlargement,28 (100.00％) patients' ALT was elevated,and 26(92.86％) patients' LDH was elevated.After three weeks of treatment,except the three patients (10.71％) who occasionally had fever,the rest of the patient's temperature was returned to normal.Also the numbers of patients with the symptoms of fatigue,sweating and joint pain were significantly reduced,and specifically,the conesponding number was 13(46.43％),2(7.14％),and 21 (75.00％)patients,respectively.ALT and LDH returned to normal(only one patient's ALT was out of the range).At the sixth week,all the patients' symptoms of fever and hyperhidrosis disappeared.The number of patients with the symptoms of joint pain and lymph node enlargement reduced to 12(42.86％) and 3(10.71％),respectively.The results of biochemical tests(ALT and LDT) returned to normal.At the ninth week,most patients' clinical symptoms disappeared.A few patients still had the symptoms of weakness[2(7.14％)] and joint piin[6(21.43％)].Conclusions After effective treatment,antibody titer of patients decreases rapidly,at the same time,the clinical symptoms improve quickly.There is a parallel relationship between the change of antibody titer and clinical symptoms.It is demonstrated that the appearing time of brucellosis specific antibodies,the ampfitude and speed of change of antibody titers can be used in diagnosis,therapeutic evaluation and prognosis of the disease.

Objective To observe the clinical features of brucellosis spondylitis and analyse the reasons for its misdiagnosis,and improve the level of diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods Forty-two clinically diagnosed patients with brucellosis spondylitis were studied retrospectively,and these patients were diagnosed and hospitalized in the General Hospital of Heilongjiang Land Reclamation Bureau.Their medical records were analyzed,which included the general information,medical history,clinical symptoms,results of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and serum tube agglutination test(SAT) and so on.Results Main clinical symptoms and signs were severe persistent neck,back and leg pain.They also had plate shape low back but without kyphosis.In addition,patients had to keep in one posture because their spinal activity was limited.Also,scoliosis or pelvic tilt and lameness may occur when standing,which were typical symptoms of nerve root compression.Thirteen cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis,accounting for 30.95％(13/42); 6 cases were diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation,accounting for 14.28％ (6/42); 2 cases were diagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis,accounting for 4.76％ (2/42).Therefore,the total rate of misdiagnosis was 50％ (21/42).Abnormal MRI signal intensity can be seen in the pathological vertebrae.Specifically,T1-weighted images (T1WI) showed low signal,T2-weighted images (T2WI) showed high signal,or mixed high and low signal intensity was observed.Vertebral showed wedge deformation without collapse and sequestrum; strip and sheet abnormal signal can also be found within the intervertebral disc.Normal structure disappeared and disc space became narrow.Accordingly,the plane dural sac was compressed to form visible abscess near the spine,but psoas abscess was not found.Patients with positive SAT result accounted for 92.85％ (39/42).Conclusion Reasons for misdiagnosis include lack of detailed medical records,atypical clinical symptoms and similar imaging changes and so on.
