Objective To explore the role of high-risk human papillomavirus(Hr-HPV) DNA testing in the detection of cervical intraepithelial lesions(CIN) Ⅱ and Ⅲ,or cervical cancers for patients with abnormal cervical cytology.Methods A total of 2197 patients with abnormal cervical liquid-based cytology,who had received Hr-HPV detection and colposcopy,were enrolled into this study.The data were analyzed using ?2-test and Logistic regression.Among the patients,1013(46.5%) had atypical squamous cells undetermined significance(ASC-US),89(4.1%) had atypical squamous cell which cannot exclude high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(ASC-H),757(34.7%) low squamous intraepithelial lesion(LSIL),253(11.6%) high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL),and 67(3.1%) atypical gland cells(AGC).Results Pathological examination showed CINⅡ in 224 patients(10.3%),CIN Ⅲ in 140(6.4%),cervical cancer in 27(1.2%),and adenocarcinoma in 9(0.4%).The other patients(1779/2179,81.6%) had CINⅠ,condyloma,or chronic cervicitis.The detection rate of CIN Ⅱ and Ⅲ,and cervical cancer was increased in the patients with Hr-HPV.The differences in the rate among ASC-US,ASC-H,LSIL,and HSIL patients were significant.The incidence rate of CINⅡ and Ⅲ,or cervical cancer was 2.2%(13/588),9.7%(21/216),24.9%(97/389),29.8%(182/611),and 23.2%(87/375) for the patients with a Hr-HPV load of 0-0.9,1.0-9.9,10.0-99.9,100.0-999.9,and ≥1000.0.Logistic regression showed that the risk of CINⅡ and Ⅲ,and cervical cancer increased by 1.325 folds with the log of the HPV load.Conclusions Hr-HPV DNA test is helpful for the detection of CIN Ⅱ and Ⅲ or cervical cancer in patients with abnormal cervical cytology.

60 Candida strains were analyzed with randomly amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) from HIV-infected patients' oral cavity.The results showed that RAPD-PCR fingerprinting appeared from zero to five bands whose size rang from 300 bp to 2 kb with P2 primer,Candida albicans have three characteristic bands of 300 bp,400 bp and 600 bp in size,non-Candida albicans have the similar bands.They can be clas-sified five genetic clusters and 14 genotypes by Cluster Analysis,two Candida albicans(P385&P403) with fluorocytosine-resistance were classified into C1 genotype for "Squared Euclidean Distance" being 0.115,one Candida albicans(P321) and one Candida glabrata(P522) who were resistant against Amphotericin B were classified into D1 genotype for "Squared Euclidean Distance" being 0.221.So,an abundant genetic polymorphism appeared in Candida species related HIV,RAPD could be as a reference for genotype of Candida albicans;different Candida speices had some special bands,different Candida strains had similar bands in the same species;it is perhaps that some genotypes were relevant to drug resistance.

To observe the effect of Astragali Radix polysaccharides (APS) on the learning and memory functions of aged rats, in order to explore its mechanism for improving the learning and memory functions. Natural aging female SD rats were selected in the animal model and randomly divided into the control group, the APS low-dose group (50 mg x kg(-1)), the APS high-dose group (150 mg x kg(-1)) and the piracetam-treated group (560 mg x kg(-1)). They were orally administered with the corresponding drugs for consecutively 60 days. Besides, a young control group was set. The learning and memory functions of the rats were tested by the open-field test and the Morris water maze task. The Western-blot method was used to observe the levels of relevant neural plasticity protein N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA receptor) in hippocampus, calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II), protein kinase (PKA), the phosphorylation level of CAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and the protein expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF). In this study, the authors found that the learning and memory functions and the hippocampus neural plasticity protein expression of the aged rat group were much lower than that of the young control group (P < 0.01). Compared with the aged rat group, the APS group showed the significant improvement in the impaired learning and memory functions of aged rats and the up-regulation in the hippocampus neural plasticity protein expression. The results showed that APS may improve the learning and memory functions of aged rats by increasing the expressions of relevant neural plasticity proteins.

Objective To explore economic valuation of the minimally invasive esophagectomy.Methods The cases undergone esophagectomy were studied retrospectively.Monofactorial analysis was done to evaluate the impact of various factors on the overall hospitalization costs.The correlated factors then were used as independent variables to carry out the multiple linear regression aimed at the hospitalization costs.Results The results of monofactorial analysis showed that the accompanying diseases,days during hospitalization,modes of esophagectomy,postoperative complications were correlated factors of the overall hospitalization costs.According to the multiple linear regression,it were sorted based on descending order duing to its effect of largenning the hospitalization costs:postoperative complications (β =0.439,P =0.000),days during hospitalization (β =0.397,P =0.000),accompanying diseases(β =0.257,P =0.000),modes of esophagectomy(β =0.132,P =0.000).The expenses caused immediately by the operations were statistically more of the minimally invasive surgery than that of the open procedures whatever the numerous or proportion of the overall costs (P =0.000).Conclusion Combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy was more expensive than open operation.Nevertheless,impact of the other factors,such as postoperative complications,were more significant than that of the different procedure.h was a strategy to minimally invasive osophagectomy that hospitalization costs could be reduced by means of controlling complications and diminishing hospitalization days.

Latest researches have indicated that wogonin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, could sensitize tumor cells to apoptosis, selectively induce apoptosis in the malignant tumor cells, inhibit tumor angiogenesis, reverse drug resistance as well as promote tumor cell death synergistically with other anti-cancer agents. This paper sum-marizes the involving mechanisms of wogonin's anti-tumor effects.

Objective To determine the effects of urapidil on L-type calcium current(I_(Ca-L))in rat cardiomyocytes.Methods Ventricular myocytes were isolated from SD rats of either sex(250-280g)by retrograde perfusion of the hearts via aorta with calcium-free Tyrode solution containing enzyme as described elsewhere.Rod shaped cells with clear borders and striations were selected.Eighteen cells were randomly divided into 3 groups(n =6 each):A urapidil group;B urapidil+methysergide group and C methysergide group.All the cells in the three groups were peffused first with Tyrode solution for 1 min(T_1).In group A and C cells were then peffused with Tyrode solution containing 0.4 ?mol?L~(-1) urapidil(A)or 40 nmol?L~(-1) methysergide(C)for 1 min(T_2) while in group B cells were perfused fwst with Tyrode solution containing 0.4 ?mol?L~(-1) urapidil for 1 min (T_2) then with Tyrode solution containing methysergide 40 nmol?L~(-1) for 1 min (T_3).Finally the cells were again perfused with regular Tyrode solution for 1 min(T_4)to wash out the drugs.The peak of I_(Ca-L) was recorded at T_(1-4) by means of the whole cell patch clamp technique with use of Axo patch 200B.Results In group A,B and C the peak of I_(ca-L) at T_2 was significantly lower than that at T_1 but there was no significant difference between the peak of I_(ca-L) at T_1 and T_4.In group B the peak of I_(Ca-L) at T_3 was significantly lower than that at T_2.Conclusion Urapidil inhibits L-type calcium current in rat isolated cardiomyoeytes.It's inhibitory effect may not be mediated by 5-H_(1A) receptor.
