Objective To study the relationship between serum hepatitis B virus covalently closed circle DNA (HBV cccDNA) as well as liver function and liver tissue pathological changes in children with chronic hepatitis B.Methods One hundred and twenty-four HBV-DNA positive children with hepatitis B were enrolled.Among 124 patients,65 cases were HBV carriers,59 cases were chronic hepatitis (mild in 31 cases,moderate in 18 cases and severe in 10 cases).HBV cccDNA in serum and liver function were detected,46 of which underwent liver biopsy and liver tissue inflammation and fibrosis grading classification was made.Results In moderate and severe cases,positive rates of serum HBV cccDNA (77.8％,100％) were higher than those of the HBV carriers and mild cases (32.3％,54.8％) (x2 =25.429,P ＜ 0.01),indicating more severe illness in children,detection rate of serum HBV cccDNA was higher.ALT,AST,and TBIL were higher in serum HBV cccDNA positive group than those of negative group[(95.6 ± 18.2) U/L vs (52.5 ± 17.7) U/L,(88.8 ±20.3) U/L vs (48.4 ±21.4) U/L,(68.4 ±24.6) μmol/L vs (28.3 ± 23.9) μmol/L](t =15.572,10.750,17.067,P ＜ 0.01).Serum HBV cccDNA and liver inflammatory activity and fibrosis showed no significant correlationship.Conclusion Serum HBV cccDNA is a sensitive indicator of viral replication,the more severe the disease situation,the peripheral HBV cccDNA detection rate is higher.But it is not entirely consistent with liver inflammation and fibrosis,so it can not completely reflect the degree of liver damage.

Objective To study the relationship between Tei index and the myocardial enzymes in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia. Methods Forty-four newborns with mild asphyxia,27 newborns with severe asphyxia and 20 healthy newborns hospitalized in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2008 were enrolled in this study.The peak E and peak A and E/A ratio at mitral valve,the ejection fraction,isovolumetric contraction time,isovolumetric relaxation time and Tei index were measured by conventional echocardiography,and aspartate aminotransferase,creatine kinase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme,and cardiac troponin T were tested also.One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time in the severe asphyxia newborns were 0.62±0.13,(47±7)ms and(52±8)ms,higher than those in the mild asphyxia newborns[0.51±0.14,(41±6)ms and(43±6)ms],those in the mild asphyxia newborns were higher than in the healthy newborns[0.39±0.12,(34±6)ms and (37±6)ms] (all P<0.01).Aspartate aminotransferase,lactate dehydrogenase,hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase,creatine kinase and its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T in the severe asphyxia newborns were higher than in the mild asphyxia newborns and healthy group(P<0.01).Tei index,isovolumetric contraction time and isovolumetric relaxation time were positively related to the myocardial enzymes.The positive relationships were more statistically significant in Tel index,creatine kinase,its isoenzymes and cardiac troponin T(r=0.762,0.821,0.778,P<0.01).Conclusions Combination of Tei index and myocardial enzymes can not only be applied to assess the cardiac function in newborns with myocardial damage due to asphyxia,but also to evaluate the degree of cardiac dysfunction accurately and dynamically.

Objective To compare the efficacy between californium?252 ( 252 Cf ) neutron intraluminal brachytherapy combined with external?beam radiotherapy with lead?shielding pelvic parallel opposing field technique and non?lead?shielding four?field box technique for cervical cancer. Methods A total of 52 patients with stage Ⅱa?Ⅲb cervical squamous cell carcinoma who were admitted to our hospital from 2004 to 2007 were enrolled as subjects and paired by clinical stage, age, tumor size, and degree of anemia. The 26 pairs of patients were divided into lead?shielding pelvic parallel opposing field group (lead?shielding group) and non?lead?shielding four?field box group (non?lead?shielding group). For all patients in both groups, 252 Cf neutron brachytherapy was added in external?beam radiotherapy. The local control (LC), overall survival (OS), and disease?free survival (DFS) rates were calculated using the Kaplan?Meier method and analyzed using the log?rank test. The difference in the incidence of late complications was analyzed using the McNemar method. Results There were significant differences in 5?year LC, OS, and DFS rates between the lead?shielding group and the non?lead?shielding group (85% vs. 81%, P= 0?? 014;89% vs. 73%, P=0?? 013; 89% vs. 73%, P= 0?? 013 ). There was also significant difference in the incidence of late complications between the lead?shielding group and the non?lead?shielding group ( 12% vs. 23%, P=0?? 008). Conclusions When intraluminal brachytherapy combined with external?beam radiotherapy is used to treat cervical cancer, the centers of the front and back fields should be shielded by lead, regardless of whether the parallel opposing field technique or the four?field box technique is used.

Objective To explore the effect of SZ-685C on rat pituitary adenoma GH3 cell line.Methods MTT method evaluated its effect of proliferation and inhibitory concentration 50 (IC5o) on GH3 cells,after treated by 0,2.5,5.0,7.5,10.0,12.5,15.0,17.5,20.0 and 30.0 μmol/L SZ-685C for 48 h,GH3 cells were changed to complete medium for 12 d,crystal violet staining was used to investigate colony formation; microscopy and Hoechst 33342 staining assay observed whether the changes of morphological as the result of apoptosis,then detected cell apoptosis by flow cytometry.Results SZ-685C had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on GH3 cell proliferation and IC50 was (12.9 ± 0.47) μmol/L,MEF(considered as a control group) had little affect in cell proliferation on the concentration of IC50.Inhibitory effects persisted even on removal of SZ- 685C after 12 d,and SZ-685C blocked colony formation ability of pituitary tumor cells.Apoptotic morphological observation of microscope and Hoechst 33342 staining proved apoptosis during treatment of SZ-685C,flow cytometry detection showed that SZ-685C induces 36.4％ of apoptosis,while only 2.0％ in control group.Conclusion SZ-685C inhibits pituitary tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis.SZ-685C can be a new anti-patuitary tumor drug for a further study.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenlongtang decoction (SLT) on the learning and memory ability and serum level of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and expression of NPY in hippocampus of rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Methods 50 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group with sham operation; model group with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion; pisacetam group as positive control;and SLT groups (low and high dosages). The rats' model was established with two-vessel occlusion. After modeling, the rats were administrating with SLT or pisacetam for 28 d. Learning and memory ability was tested with Morris water maze, the level of NPY was detected with radioimmunoassay, and the number of positive cells of NPY in hippocampus was detected. Results Compared with the control group, the latency time increased significantly and frequence of searching submerged platform decreased significantly in the model group (P<0.01); and compared with the model group, the latency time decreased significantly and frequence of searching submerged platform increased significantly in SLT high dosage group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the serum levels of NPY increased significantly in the model group, and the number of positive cell of NPY in hippocampus area significantly increased (P<0.01); and compared with the model group, the serum levels of NPY decreased significantly, and the number of positive cell of NPY in hippocampus area significantly decreased in the SLT high dosage group and pisacetam group (P<0.05). Conclusion SLT could improve the learning and memory function.The mechanism may be related to regulate the serum level and expression of NPY in hippocampus area of rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.

Objective To explore the curative effect in patients with prostate cancer by 125I implantation with endocrine therapy. Methods Sixty cases of patients with prostate cancer were divided into the experiment group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases) with or without 125I implantation. The control group were treated by endocrine therapy, the experiment group were treated by 125I implantation based on endocrine therapy. The curative effect were observed. Results The volume of prostate inthe experiment group after 6 month treatment were smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05);The KPS score in the experiment group after 1, 3, 6 months treatment were higher than that of the control group (P<0.05);The level of PSAin the experiment group after 1, 3, 6, 12 months treatment were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effect in the experiment group after 6, 12 month treatment were higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There had no significant difference on the survival rate after 1, 2, 3 years treatment in the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion It has significant efficacy in patients with prostate cancer by 125I implantation with endocrine therapy which can improve the level of PSA and KPS scores. The long-term survival situation is satisfactory. This method is worth of generalization in clinic.

AIM: To investigate the dynamic variety of frequency and function of FoxP3~+ regulatory T cells in patients with acute hepatitis B (AHB). METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 15 AHB patients at acute phase (week 1 of illness), convalescent phase (primary occurrence of both ALT level normalization and HBsAg negative conversion), resolved phase (at least 8 weeks after both ALT normalization and HBsAg seroconversion, and 15 health subjects were analyzed for FoxP3 (Forkhead/winged helix transcription factor) mRNA expression in MACS magnetic beads-purified CD4~+ T cells by real-time RT-PCR assay. The effects of Treg cells on the proliferation of CD4~+CD25~- T cells were examined by a ~3[H]-thymidine incorporation assay. RESULTS: AHB patients presented a significantly higher FoxP3 mRNA expression at convalescent phase than acute phase (t=-6.04, P<0.01) and resolved phase (t=4.45, P<0.01), and healthy controls (t=3.44, P<0.01). We also observed that the suppression efficiency of Treg cells on proliferation of CD4~+CD25~- T cells was lower at acute phase than convalescent phase (t=-5.30, P<0.01) and resolved phase (t=-3.20, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between healthy controls and any phase of AHB. CONCLUSION: AHB patients presented lower circulating Treg frequency and suppression function at acute phase, and both of them are increased at convalescent phase, and then return to normal level along with disease resolved. This follow-up study furthers our understanding of Treg' s role in immunopathogenesis of hepatitis B.

Objective To investigate the correlation between human epidermal stem cell (hESCs) and hypertrophic scar or keloid. Methods Improved collagen Ⅳ-coated adhesion methods was used to isolate and culture the epidermal stem cells after neutral protease selectively digested the dermo-epidermal junctions. After the cells were cultured and expanded in vitro, and passage 3 hESCs were induced by different concentrations of TGF-β1 (0.1, 5.0, and 10.0 ng/ml). Morphological fea-tures and identification of these cells were meseasured by HE, Masson, immunohistochemical staining on the days 3 and 7, respectively. Results After induced by TGF-β1 for 3 and 7 days, the morpholo-gy of the epidermal stem cell (hESCs) was changed into fusiform shape, similar to fibroblasts. 70 % ofthe cell which was induced by TGF-β1 were blue stained in the cytoplasm by Masson stain, which is the distinctive method for collagen, suggesting collagen appeared or increased in the cells. The collagen concentrations in supernatants of hESCs were 0.4150±0.0014, 0.3380±0. 0020, and 0.3870±0.0020, much higher than that in control group (0.0780±0.0025) and normal skin fibro-blast group (0.15004±0.0051) (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining revealed that positive rates of these cells for anti-vimentin staining were more than (95.00±1.20)% in experiments and (5.70±0.20)% in control group. Conclusion The differentiantion of hESCs induced by TGF-β1 into fibro-blasts indicates that hESCs may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypetrophic scar and keloid.
