Objective To investigate the cytotoxic effect of 103 palladium( 103 Pd) particle radiotherapy combined with 41℃ heating on human hepatocarcinoma cell line Bel-7402. Methods Human hepatocarcinoma cells (Bel-7402) were treated by water-heating and/or 103 Pd particle. The cell growth was determined with MTT assay, and the cell apoptosis was detected by the fluorescent stain of Hoechst33258. Results The cytotoxic effect of 103 Pd radiotherapy combinded with 41℃ heating on Bel-7402 cells was stronger than that of only 103 Pd radiotherapy. Conclusion 103 Pd radiotherapy and 41℃ heating had a synergistic effect on hepatocarcinoma cell Bel-7402, and 103 Pd radiotherapy had the cytotoxic effect on the surviving Bel-7402 cells after hot therapy.

Objective To assess the clinical significance of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase in RA patients. Methods The level of serum GPI in 100 patients with RA, 98 patients with other rheumatic diseases and 108 normal controls were assessed by sandwich ELISA methods. The level of RF, CRP, anti-CCP antibodies were also assessed in RA patients. Results The level of GPI was higher in RA patients [(2.4?5.0) ?g/ml] than that of normal control group [(0.12?0.14) ?g/ml (P

Objective BOLD-fMRI was used to observe the activated auditory cortex evoked by pure tone stimuli in patients with sensorineural hearing loss and this paper is to discuss the objective measure for patient with sensorineural hearing toss. Methods BOLD-fMRI examinations were taken in 22 patients with unilateral moderate to severe sensorneural hearing loss and 15 control subjects. The volumes and intensities of the two hemispheres of the activated auditory cortex were analyzed quantitatively. Results Significant activation was found in the temporal lobe in control subjects, and significant differences in the volume and intensity were noted between the contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes in them (P<0.01), exhibiting clearly eontralateral predominance. When the normal ear of patients with sensorineural hearing loss received signals, there was no significant difference be-tween contralateral and ipsilateral activated auditory cortexes (P>0.05). Conclusion When the normal ear of pa-tients with sensorneural hearing loss was stimulated by pure tone, the contralateral hemisphere predominance disap-peared. This result seems to show the plasticity of auditory cortex of patients with unilateral hearing loss.

Objective To explore the short-term and long-term effects ofapplication of Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopic Lithotripsy on the treatment of hepatolithiasis. Methods Eighty-threecases of hepatolithiasis were treated with the PTCSL and the other 87cases were treated with the Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy.The general clinical parameters , curative effect in the near future and long-term curative effect were anlyzed. Results No significant differences were found between the two groups in the general clinical parameters (P>0.05). The operation time,intraoperative blood transfusion volume and intraoperatve blood soss in group A were significantly shorter than those in group B(P<0.05, respectively). The original calculi residual rate was 2.4%, the eventually calculi residual rate was 4.8%and the recurrent cholangitis was4.8%in the model of PTCSL (Group A). The original calculi residual rate was 18.4%, the eventually calculi residual rate was 23.0% and the recurrent cholangitis was 23.0%in the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy (Group B), with significant difference between these two groups (P<0.05). The calculi recurrence rate of group A was 12.0%,the calculi recurrence rate of group B was 22.9%,withno significant difference between these two group (P>0.05). No patients died in each group. The results of complications showed thatthe incidence of residual calculi of group A was significantly lower than that of group B (P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy, the PTCSL was more safe, minimally invasive and effective. The short-term efficacy of the model of PTCSL was better than that of the model of Laparoscopic exploration lithotomy.

Objective To investigate the effect of evidence-based nursing on the clinical curative effect and prognosis of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods 120 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were selected,and they were randomly divided into observation group(60 cases) and control group(60 cases) according to the digital table.The control group was treated with routine nursing,the observation group was treated with routine nursing and evidence-based nursing.Before and after nursing,the SDS,self rating anxiety scale (SAS),neurological deficit score NIHSS,Barthel score,the incidence of sequelae,hospitalization time,nursing quality score and patients’ satisfaction with nursing were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in SDS,SAS,NIHSS and Barthel scores between the two groups before nursing intervention(all P ＞ 0.05).After nursing intervention,the SDS,SAS,NIHSS and Barthel scores of the observation group were (38.74 ± 6.21) points,(35.83 ± 8.17) points,(11.24 ± 3.08) points,(92.58 ± 6.46) points,respectively,which in the control group were (44.58 ± 7.10) points,(43.66 ± 8.06) points,(15.34 ± 3.29) points,(84.27 ± 5.82) points,there were significant differences between the two groups (t =4.796,5.285,7.047,7.403,all P ＜0.05).,The incidence rate of venous thrombosis,muscle atrophy and joint ankylosis sequelae of the observation group was 8.33％,which was lower than 40.00％ of the control group,there was significant difference between the two groups(x2 =16.415,P ＜ 0.05).The hospitalization time of the observation group was (9.55 ± 2.43)d,which was shorter than (15.97 ± 4.68) d of the control group (t =9.430,P ＜ 0.05).The health education nursing quality score,ward management score,basic nursing score,nursing care of critical patients score,nursing document writing score of the observation group were (97.66 ± 2.45) points,(98.23 ± 3.46) points,(97.54 ± 3.18) points,(96.88 ± 3.49) points,(98.76 ± 1.31)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the control group [(88.79 ± 2.37) points,(90.72 ±3.52) points,(91.05 ±3.16) points,(91.67 ± 5.34) points,(93.04 ± 1.12) points],there were significant differences between the two groups(t =20.156,11.786,11.214,6.326,25.707,all P ＜ 0.05).The patients’ nursing satisfaction of the observation group (96.67％) was higher than that of the control group (85.00％),there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =4.904,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Evidence -based nursing can effectively relieve patients’ anxiety and depression of patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,improve the quality of life of patients,reduce the incidence of complications,shorten the hospitalization time,improve patients'satisfaction.

Objective To study the sonographic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) associated with cervical lymph nodes metastasis for early diagnosis and prediction of the invaded cervical lymph nodes. Methods The sonographic features of 170 patients with pathologically confirmed PTC in First Afifliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between 2011 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 59 cases with neck lymph nodes metastases and 111 cases without neck lymph nodes metastases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was aaplied to analyze the cut-off values of resistance index (RI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) for judging the presence or absence of cercical lymph node metastasis. The Chi-square test and rank sum test were used to compare the different sonographic features between each group. The Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the relevant factors of PTCs with cervical lymph node metastasis. Results ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off values of RI and PSV were 0.735,13.95 cm/s. The primary tumor diameter, the existence of halo, the involvement of thyroid upper pole, the microcalciifcation, the blood suply classiifcation and the RI, PSV were statistically signiifcantly different between PTCs with and without cervical lymph node metastasis, whereas no statistical signiifcance was detected between the primary tumor echo pattern, boundary and the longitudinal/transveral ratio between the metastatic and nonmetastatic group. Logistic regression analysis showed that the PTC primary tumor diameter and PSV were independent factors coorelated with cervical lymph node metastasis. Conclusion Some sonographic features of PTC are closely correlated with lymph nodes metastasis, which are valuable in predicting the cervical lymph nodes metastasis in patients with PTC pre-operatively.

Betulinic acids are lupine-type pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins commonly found in some plants of Betulaceae family, especially in the bark of betula alba (birch). The potent anti-HIV and anti-tumor activities of betulinic acids have been greatly concerned. The natural betulinic acids include betulinic acid, 23-hydroxy betulinic acid, betulin and so on. Some investigations on the structural modifications of betulinic acids were carried out, and many derivatives with excellent biological activity have been obtained nowadays. In this paper, the research advances of the structural modification of betulinic acids, as well as their anti-HIV and anti-tumor activities are reviewed.

Objective:To evaluate the bone alteration subject to remodeling and analyze the esthetic result following immediate implant placement of incisors.Methods:In this study,20 patients (1 3 women,7 men)were involved,who needed implants for incisors of maxilla.The patients received 23 im-mediate implants totally.On the day of surgery and 6 months after the implants were placed,Cone beam CT (CBCT)was taken.The thickness of the alveolar ridge and the vertical change of marginal bone levels onthe mesial and distal aspects of theimplants were measured using the computer software (Planme-caRomexis Viewer 3.6.0.R).The evaluation of esthetic result by labial convexity score (LCS)and pa-pilla index score (PIS)were analyzed pre-operation and one year after the final crown was delivered.The statistics with paired-t test for the measurement data and Willcoxon test for rating data were done by SPSS 20.0.Results:The survival rate in the two-year follow-up was 1 00%.The measuring point 1 (MP1 ), MP2,MP3 and MP4 (0,2,4,6 mm apical to the implant platform,respectively)got significant altera-tions after 6 months of the follow-up.These differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 ).The major alteration happened at MP1 and MP4,which got (-0.89 ±2.06)mm and (-0.75 ±1 .28)mm reduction of the alveolar,respectively.The marginal alveolar ridge resorption was (-0.42 ±1 .24)mm and(-0.91 ±1 .96)mm for Ankylos System and Replace System,respectively,and the difference was not statistical significant .The esthetic results were quite acceptable.Before treatment,1 8 incisors rated 3 for LCS,and 2 incisors rated 4 for LCS;after final restoration,only 5 incisors rated 3 for LCS,and 1 4 incisors rated 2 for LCS.Before treatment,1 5 incisors rated 3 for PIS;after final restoration,1 3 incisors rated 3 for PIS.There was no statistically significant difference for the PIS pre-operation and 1 year after final restoration,while there was statistically significant negative change for LCS.Conclusion:Even fol-lowing the proper surgical technique,the alveolar ridge wall still can’t be maintained after immediate im-plant placed in fresh socket of incisors.The inter-dental papilla could be well maintained,while due to the remodeling of labial bone,labial convexity will inevitably collapse.Therefore immediate implant still has esthetic risk.
