OBJECTIVETo investigate the factors affecting the survival and to predict the survival time of glioma.
METHODSGraph method was applied to fit the type of probability distribution of patients' postoperative survival time. As one suitable model, Weibull regression model tested by residual analysis was used to identify prognostic factors for postoperative survival and to predict patients' post-operative survival time.
RESULTSIn multivariate analysis of Weibull regression model, following characteristics showed significant influence on postoperative survival time including: sex, age, epilepsy, type of glioma, density of glioma, type of surgery, times of surgery and mode of postoperative therapy. According to predictive value, patients were clustered into three groups. The survival probability of one year for the first group was less than 50% and that of five years for the second group about 50%, for the third group around 80%.
CONCLUSIONSex, age, epilepsy, type of glioma, density of glioma, type of surgery, times of surgery and mode of postoperative therapy were important risk factors and Weibull regression model might help to predict patients' postoperative survival time.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in the urinary system of males. A growing number of studies have shown that microRNAs, as small ribonucleic acid molecules and a class of non-coding small RNAs, are closely related with PCa and a variety of microRNAs are abnormally expressed in it. This article focuses on the roles of microRNAs in the occurrence and progression of PCa, with a description of differentially expressed microRNAs in PCa and an analysis of their association with its prognosis as well as their correlation with chemotherapy, androgen receptors, and metastasis of PCa.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the augmentation of microsomal glutathione S-transferase (mGST) preparation using simple organic compounds. METHODS: Rat liver microsomes were isolated using both the polyethyleneGlyco 6000 (PEG6000) and Ca(2+) precipitation methods. Next the mGST activity was measured after incubation with the alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimind (NEM). RESULTS: The baseline mGST activity of rat microsomes was 0.15 after PEG6000 exposure and 0.082 after Ca(2+) precipitation. After NEM treatment mGST activity increased to 1.797 (2.35X) (P<0.01) and 2.375 (4.127X) (P<0.01) respectively followed by purified washing. mGST activation was stimulated maximally by 5-10 mmol/L NEM and occurred rapidly with 1-2 min of co- incubation. CONCLUSION: For both the PEG6000 and Ca(2+) precipitation methods the mGST activity of rat microsomes can be significantly enhanced after exposure to NEM. This enhancement is more prominent with the Ca(2+) precipitation.

Objective To explore the impact of berberine on serum levels of insulin resistance and cytokines in schizophrenia patients treated with risperidone. Methods Sixty-four schizophrenia patients treated with risperidone were randomized to berberine group (n=31) and control group (n=33). The fasting plasma blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (Fins) were detected before and after treatment in two groups. The homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay before and after the treatment. Results Compared with control group and pre-treatment group, the levels of FBG, Fins, HOMA-IR, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased after treatment in berberine group (P<0.05). The FBG level was significantly higher, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-αwere significantly lower, after treatment in control group (P < 0.01). There were no significant changes in Fins and HOMA-IR after treatment (P > 0.05). There was positive correlation between HOMA-IR and IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in berberine group (r=0.316, 0.351 and 0.401, P<0.01). Conclusion Berberine can significantly decrease FBG, Fins, HOMA-IR, IL-
1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in schizophrenia patients treated with risperidone. The HOMA-IR level is closely correlated with IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-αlevels.

Objective To establish an analytical method for assessing acetylcysteine in human plasma and study the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of acetylcysteine granules in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods In the randomized crossover study, 24 healthy male volunteers received a single oral dose of 0. 6 g test acetylcysteine granules, reference acetylcysteine granules or no medication. The plasma concentration of acetylcysteine was determined by LC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and bioequivalence of two preparations were evaluated by DAS3. 0 software. Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the test and reference preparations were as follows:AUC0→t was (8 547. 64± 2 860.04) and (8 783.07±4 042. 10) μg·h·L-1, respectively; AUC0→∞ was (9 481. 64±3 444. 76) and (9 540. 51± 4 239. 30) μg·h·L-1, respectively;Cmax was (1 994. 39±726. 42) and (2 090. 27±885. 46) μg·L-1, respectively;tmax was (1.18±0. 60) and (1. 13±0. 53) h, respectively; t1/2 was (8. 60±3. 76) and (7. 75±5. 01) h, respectively. The relative bioavailability F0→t and F0→∞ was ( 107. 0 ± 43. 3 )% and ( 106. 5 ± 40. 1 )%, respectively. Conclusion The results of statistical analysis indicate that the test and reference formulations are bioequivalent.

Objective To observe the changes of respiratory and hemodynamic functions in children with different age undergoing laparoscopic Nissen's fundoplication(LNF). Methods Thirty-three children with LNF were divided into three groups according to the age: group Ⅰ,1 to 12 months,n=13;group Ⅱ,1 to 3 years old,n=10;and group Ⅲ,4 to 7 years,n=10.Heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure,Ppeak,compliance of the respiratory system(CRS) and end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure(PETCO2) were recorded 5 min before pneumoperitoneum(T0),10 min(T1),60 min(T2) after pneumoperitoneum and 10 min after deflation(T3),and parameters of blood gas analysis such as PaCO2 were measured at the same time. Results Compared with those at T0,HR,Ppeak,PETCO2 and the difference between PaCO2 and PETCO2(Pa-ETCO2)were significantly increased at T1 and T2,while CRS was significantly decreased.The most significant changes were found in group Ⅰ. Conclusion The changes of respiratory and hemodynamic functions are observed in children undergoing LNF,and anesthesia management should be enhanced for those within 1 to 12 months old who experience the most significant changes.

Objective To detect and analyze thyroid tumor by two-dimensional sonogram and Doppler parameter, and evaluate the value of high-frequency ultrasound in diagnosing thyroid benign and malignant tumors. Methods The ultrasonic images of 104 thyroid tumor from 80 patients with typical features were collected. Thyroid tumor was classified into benign and malignant nodules, based on the shape, border, or the rear wall echo, echo attenuation loss, internal echo, and microcalcifications in two-dimensional sonogram and systolic blood peak velocity (Vmax) and resistant index (RI) in Doppler examination. The expected results of high frequency ultrasound were compared with pathological results on consistency and error rate. Results Prediction of benign tumor by high frequency ultrasound was 66, and pathology 61, consistency rate of the two was 92.4%. Prediction of malignant lesions was 38, and pathological examination 32, consistency rate of the two was 84.2%. The total coincidence rate was 89.4%(93/104) and the error rate was 11.6%( 11/104). Conclusions The typical features of thyroid tumor on high-frequency ultrasound are helpful in diagnosis of benign or malignant nodules, which is valuable in guiding clinical treatment.

Objective:Taking Chongyang county of Hubei Province as an example, the paper describes the in-tegration of the maternal and child health ( MCH) and family planning ( FP) service system and analyses the key ele-ments to provide reference for promoting integration. Methods: qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaire were used to collect data. The software QSR Nvivo 8. 0 and SPSS 17. 0 were used for qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Results:Based on the correct understanding of integration, Chongyang implements the supporting policies actively, maintains the original compensation mode unchanged, follows the principle of“no reducing headcounts and no downsizing” strictly, promotes the merger of institutions rapidly, adjusts the service contents and methods reasona-bly, and integrates the maternal and child and family planning information platform. Conclusion:The correct concept of integration, appropriate staffing, and stable funding in Chongyang provide rich experiences for future research. However, there is room for improvement in staffing, incentive mechanisms, service content, and forms.
