Objective To observe the effects of Zhuyunjiaonang on morphological change of the ovary, serous hormone and the expression of P450arom in PCO model rats. To explore its target and mechanism in treating PCO model rats. Methods Using INS and HCG to establish PCO model. The PCO rat models were devided into 4 groups randomly, which included control group, model group, Zhuyunjiaonang group and mefformin group. Zhuyunjiaonang group was given 3.0 g/(kg ? d) Zhuyunjiaonang, mefformin group was given 0.75 g/(kg ? d) metformin, control group and model group were given same volume distilled water 1 mL/100 g. The effects of Zhuyunjiaonang on ovaries and ovarial follicular development were observed by light microscope. The levels of serum gonadal hormone were detected by radioimmunoassay. The expression level of P450arom was detected with immtmohistochemical staining technique. Results Zhuyunjiaonang could increase the thickness of granular cell layer and decrease the thickness of theca cell layer, decrease the level of T and LH, and increase the level of FSH and E_2 in serum. Meanwhile the expression of P450arom in ovary were increased. Conclusion Zhuyunjiaonang could indirectly or directly affect the expression of the P450arom in ovary, it could regulate the endocrine function of PCO rat and promote the mature and ovulation of follicular.

AIM:To observe the effects of prostaglandin E2 receptor1 (EP1) in neuronal cell death induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation and ischemia/reperfusion. METHODS:The cortical neurocytes of neonatal Wistar rats were cultured for 12 days and exposed to hypoxia/re-oxygenation to establish a hypoxia/re-oxygenation model. Another set of cultured primary neonatal cortical neurocytes of rats were pretreated with 17-pt (an antagonist of EP1),then underwent hypoxia for 3 h,re-oxygenated for 21 h. MTT reagent was added 1 h before measuring the cell viability. Neuron apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The protein expression was examined by Western blotting. RESULTS:Compared to the control cells (only underwent hypoxia /re -oxygenation and without any pretreatment),the neurons pretreated with 17-pt and then underwent hypoxia/re-oxygenation showed significantly lower survival rate (P

Objective:To test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Br?set Violence Check-list (BVC-C).Methods:With the authorizing permission by the author,the BVC was translated into Chinese and a-dapted,and five psychiatry experts who had worked more than 20 years were invited (3 clinical doctors and 2 nur-ses)to evaluate the content validity of the scale as the content validity index.Totally 556 inpatients who met the di-agnosis criteria for mental disorders according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems,Tenth Revision (ICD-10)were totally selected to proceed the formal testing.The BVC scale was used to evaluate inpatients every 8 hours,the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS)was used to test concurrent validity;the results of the real attacking incidents were used to test the criterion validity;the internal consistency re-liability of the scale was tested by Cronbach αcoefficient.Results:The content validity index of the scale was0.93.In addition to the own attack subscale,the MOAS total scores and the other 3 subscales scores were positively correlated with the BVC total scores and each item score (r =0.11 -0.69,P <0.01).The best criterion validity was 8 hours through analyzed,the AUC was 0.98.When the cut-off was 2,the sensitivity and specificity were 78.9% and 95.1% respectively.The Cronbach αcoefficient was 0.76 and the item total correlations were 0.47 -0.80 (P <0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that the BVC-C has good validity and reliability,which could be used as an effective prediction tool for psychiatric violence risk assessment.

Objective The objectives of this study were to compare the clinicopathological features of different Lauren type gastric cancer,to carry out survival analysis,and to screen the prognostic factors.Methods The clinical pathologic data of gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 1,2007 to June 30,2007 were retrospectively analyzed.The 633 cases of gastric cancer patients were divided into intestinal type gastric cancer and diffuse type of gastric cancer groups,which were analyzed clinical and pathological characteristics and survival.Results Compared with diffuse type of gastric cancer,the proportion of intestinal type gastric cancer was slightly high(51.66% vs. 48.34%),the proportion of male was also high(2.94:1 vs.2.03:1,P=0.035).These could be more often in elderly patients age(≥60 years)(54.43% vs.35.94%,P<0.001).The prognosis of intestinal type gastric cancer was significantly better than diffuse gastric cancer(median survival time:90.9 months vs.37.33 months, P=0.014).Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥60 years old,CA199 abnormalities,larger tumors,poor differ-entiation,serosal invasion,initial lymph node metastasis,palliative surgery and non-pyloric resection were poor prognostic factors in gastric cancer.Conclusion Lauren type can be better respond to the clinicopathological fea-tures of different gastric cancer and guide to the prognosis.

Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors,and its morbidity and mortality are in the third and fourth places,respectively. About 60% of patients are in an advanced stage at the diagnosis,and their 5-year survival rate is around 13% . In the past 20 years,since the standardized application of advanced first-line chemotherapy and targeted drugs for metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC),mCRC treatment has made a major breakthrough. The use of oxaliplatin,capecitabine,bevacizumab,cetux-imab and other drugs have doubled the median survival and increased the 5-year survival rate by 20% . The usual mode of first-line treatment of mCRC in the late stage is continuous medication until the disease progress or the intolerable toxicity occurs. However,be-cause of the accumulation of toxicity of chemotherapy drugs,only one-third of patients can continue to receive treatment until the dis-ease progresses. After completing established initial treatment cycle and achieving CR/PR/SD,the patients continue to use low -dose,low-toxic drugs for maintenance treatment,which can delay the progression and metastasis of the tumor,and reduce the side effects of drug. At present,maintenance therapy has become the main treatment mode after advanced first -line chemotherapy for mCRC. However,the optimal maintenance regimen for mCRC remains inconclusive,and existing maintenance regimens still do not find a balance between optimal outcome and maximum quality of life. This article will review the clinical studies of mCRC′s existing main-tenance treatment regimens,summarize the current status of mCRC maintenance therapy,and discuss individualized treatment strate-gies.

Objective The SNPs of caspase family have been studied in breast cancer,head and neck cancer,esophageal cancer,lung cancer and other cancer. There are few studies between the SNP of CASP3,7 and the risk of gastric cancer in Chinese population. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the SNP of CASP3,7 genes and the genetic susceptibility of gastric cancer using large samples. Methods Blood samples from 1000 cases of gastric cancer and 1036 cases of normal non-cancer control in Northeast China were collected for genomic DNA extraction. Based on the dbSNP NCBI database and HapMap data-base,potential SNP sites were selected for CASP3,7,which locate CASP3,CAS′s 3′UTR. The Tasman probe method was used for gen-otyping of the SNP sites of CASP3,7. The difference between the different variables in the case-control group was analyzed by the bi-lateral χ2 test. After the Hardy-Weinberg genetic balance test for each locus,the χ2 test was used to compare the genotype frequency differences between the case and control groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the associ-ation between genotype and disease. The stratification analysis of each locus compared the genotypes between the different sexes,ages, smoking,and drinking status. Results The χ2 test compared the differences between the case and control groups. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the smoking,drinking status and smoking in packet number( Pack-years) between the case and control groups(P<0. 05). The genotype frequencies of selected loci were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg′s law of genetic balance(P>0. 05). Combining and analyzing genotypes with risk alleles,there showed that individuals with two risk genotypes in- creased by 69. 6% in comparison with individuals with 0~1 risk genotype. After adjusted for covariate effects,individuals with three risk genotypes were increased by 27. 6% when compared to individuals with 0~1 risk genotypes. Individuals with more than one risk genotype were increased by 35% when compared to individuals with 0-1 risk genotypes. In the stratified analysis,after combination of two genes,the risk genotype in the sub-layer of age ≤60 years old,male,never smoking,annual smoking package ≤25,gastric non-cardiac adenocarcinoma was statistically associated with disease,i. e. more risk of gastric cancer. Conclusion Univariate analy-sis showed that the SNPs at the four sites selected in this study were not associated with the risk of gastric cancer. However,multivari-ate analysis of CASP3 and CASP7 at the four sites showed that individuals with two risk genotypes increased the risk of gastric cancer in comparison with individuals with 0~1 risk genotypes. In addition,after stratified analysis of the two sites of CASP7,the risk of gas-tric cancer is more obvious in people aged≤60 years,never smoking or smoking≤25 packs per year,and non-gastric cardia adeno-carcinoma.
