The expression of genes have an important effect to gastric cancer chemotherapy.Some genes are related the therapeutic efficacy of drugs,some genes are related the untoward effects of drug,and some genes are related the sensitivity of the tumor to drug.Chemotherapy related genes may play an important guiding role to improve the curative effect of chemotherapy patients.In recent years,the gastric cancer chemotherapy related genes have made great progress,especially in platinum,fluorouracil,paclitaxel and targeted medicine related genes.

Objective To investigate the effect of 20‐HETE on the isolated myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury and to ex‐plore its underlying mechanisms .Methods Experiments were performed in isolated rat hearts subjected to 35 min of ischemia fol‐lowed by 40 min of reperfusion in Langendorff preparations .HET0016 (1 μmol/L) and various concentrations (10 ,30 or 50 nmol/L) of 20‐HETE were infused 10 min before the onset of ischemia and throughout the reperfusion period .Cardiac hemodynamic changes and myocardial contractility were continuously recorded with the Powerlab /8P system .Myocardial infarct size was meas‐ured by TTC staining .The level of ROS and the protein carbonyl content were determined by DHE fuorescence and DNPH method , respectively .Results Perfusion with HET0016 significantly improved myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury reduction in cardiac contractility ,after inhibited the production of 20‐HETE significantly reduced the occurrence of myocardial infarction area (P<0 .05) ,but exogenous join 20‐HETE aggravated I/R‐induced myocardial injury (P<0 .05) .Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury significantly increased production of ROS and oxidative stress ,both of which were significantly inhibited by HET 0016 and enhanced by 20‐HETE administration(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion 20‐HETE stimulates ROS production and enhance protein carbonylation , which aggravates myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury .

Objective To investigate the value of vessel size index(VSI) in grading oligodendroglioma by vessel size imaging technique. Methods Twenty-four histologically confirmed oligodendroglioma cases were enrolled (13 gradeⅡand 11 gradeⅢ) . All patients underwent conventional MRI scanning, followed by multi gradient-echo spin-echo sequence from dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion to generate VSI maps. Region of interests were contoured on VSI color maps to obtain hot-spot value of mean VSI of microvasculature (VSImean) and maximum VSI of microvasculature (VSImax). Paraffin sections of each case was stained with CD34 to acquire microvascular caliber (VShis). Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between VSImean, VSImax and VShis respectively. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare VSImean, VSImax and VShis between grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ oligodendrogliomas. ROC analysis was performed to assess the effectiveness of VSImean, VSImax and VShis in grading oligodendrogliomas. Results Both VSImean and VSImax were strongly correlated with VShis (r=0.738, 0.705,P<0.05). For gradeⅡand Ⅲ oligodendrogliomas, VSImean were 38.93(17.96 to 81.18)μm and 91.49(36.94 to 144.68)μm, VSImax were 45.12(22.30 to 89.65)μm and 121.19(57.29 to 164.00)μm, VShis were 8.51(5.25 to 12.76)μm and 11.03(7.59 to 21.96)μm respectively. VSImean, VSImax, and VShis showed significant difference (Z=-3.505,-3.911, -2.729,P<0.05) between grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ oligodendrogliomas. ROC analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff value, sensitivity, specificity and AUC of VSImean was 52.58 μm, 90.91%, 92.31%, 0.923 respectively, 81.18μm, 90.91%, 100.00%, 0.972 for VSImax, and 9.01μm, 90.00%, 84.62%, 0.838 for VShis respectively. Conclusions Vessel size imaging derived VSI correlated well with histopathology. It could provide valuable information in the pre-operative grading of oligodendroglioma.

Objective To detect the mutation of STK11 in a family with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and harmatoma polypus of all the patients,and 9 exons and noncoding regions of STK11 were amplified by PCR.Cycle sequencing was used to analysis the DNA sequence,and western blot was used to detected the mutational STK11 protein in the harmatoma polypus.Results The 21th codon CAG in exon 5 of STK11 gene transformed to TAG in all the patients,which translated into a truncated STK11 protein.Conclusion This novel mutation is the pathogeny of PJS in this family,which could be an indicator for the diagnosis of PJS in this family.And it may lead to a higher risk of cancer in patients.

This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties of Polyporus umbellatus sclerotial exudate. Morphological characteristics of the sclerotia and its exudate were observed during different stages of sclerotial formation. The pH of the exudate was detected at different time during cultivation. A phenol-sulfuric acid method was employed to determine the polysaccharide content of P. umbellatus sclerotial exudate during cultivating time. Additionally, the protein content was measured by means of BCA protein assay. Furthermore, CAT content was detected using ultraviolet absorption method. That the protein content of the exudate and CAT specific activity rose gradually during the passage of the cultivating time indicated a high level of oxidative stress during P. umbellatus sclerotial exudate formation. The results showed that the pH of the exudate increased gradually and then dropped down during sclerotial formation. That the pH of the exudate maintained the acidity state during the cultivation indirectly indicated that acidic environment would help sclerotial formation. The exudate produced gradually and was absorbed by the sclerotia itself.

The parts of system automatically detecting the standard 12-synchronous-lead ECG (electrocardiograms) signal based on personal computer is introduced in this paper. The object-oriented programming method is adopted based on Windows System. We put forward methods to analyze QRS complex wave, P wave, T wave and ST fragment. In this paper the techniques such as ECG signal preprocessing, cardio wave parameters detecting and wave pattern cognizing are discussed too. Furthermore we use wavelet transform technique to analyze the wave pattern and get sound effect.
