Arsenic trioxide (As2O3)is the main component of traditional Chinese medicine arsenic,which was initially used in the treatment of blood system diseases.In recent years,studies have found that it also has a good effect on a variety of solid tumors,especially gastric cancer.It has been confirmed that As2O3 can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,induce apoptosis and protective autophagy,inhibite lymphatic formation and angiogenesis,affect the expression of telomere-related proteins in gastric cancer cells.

Objective To evaluatethe application value of APACHE Ⅱ on the prognoses in prediction of pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration to cure severe cerebral hemorrhage.Methods APACHE Ⅱ scoring system was conducted in randomly collected 58 severe cerebral hemorrhage patients' data (30 patients underwent surgical treatment,28 patients underwent conservative treatment)to evaluate the disease severity,prognosis and effect of the pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration.Results The APACHE Ⅱ score of treatment group on the first day was 28.00 ± 1.92 and the predicted mortality was 0.86 ±0.03.The score was decreased obviously on the tenth day(8.20 ± 0.76)and the predicted mortality was 0.57 ± 0.05.The actual mortality was 33.33％.Conclusion APACHE Ⅱ scoring system is suitable for judging the disease severity and predicting the prognosis of severe cerebral hemorrhage patients,it proves that surgical treatment effect of the pin hole multi-directional intracranial hematoma aspiration is remarkable.

Breast cancer is regarded as a heterogenous disease classified into different molecular subtypes,resulting in different biologic behavior and sensitivity to treatment respectively.Molecular biology typing that based gene expression profiles and biological characteristics of breast cancer can reflect the biological behavior of tumors exactly,which has important clinical significance.

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of various autoantibodies and may cause injuries to multiple organs,with kidney as the most common and important organ involved.Autoantibodies are of great importance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of autoimmune renal diseases.Lupus nephritis,anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis and antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease are the most common autoimmune renal diseases.Anti-C1q antibody,ANCA and anti-GBM antibody play important roles in those diseases,respectively.Appropriate and steady detecting methods are crucial to clinicians,and the results should also be interpreted with great cautions.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which results in a high risk of mortality. Thus, the cardiovascular safety of new anti-diabetic agents has become an important prob?lem with wide concern. There are two classes of incretine-based medications: glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor (DPP-4I). It has been demonstrated that GLP-1RA and DPP-4I possesse beneficial actions in both animal models of cardiovascular dysfunction and patients with ischemic heart diseases. However, their effects on the cardiovascular system in diabetic patients with heart diseases are still uncertain. Here, we sys?tematically reviewed the effects of GLP-1RA and DPP-4I on cardiovascular system to provide more evidence of incretin-based therapy application for diabetes and complications.

Endometriosis, a common and complicated disease in gynecology. is characterized by strong invasive-ness, wide implant and easy recurrence. At present, its pathogenesis is still not clear and there is no satisfactory therapy, so it has become a hot issue in gynecology research. This paper reviewed its pathogenesis and Traditional Chinese Medicine and West ern Medicine treatment.

Objective A Halotherapy (HT) device for meeting the demands of human body,has been trial-produced to efficiently treat the respiratory diseases.Method By means of grains of salt having been processed in a series of ways,proper halospray has been made for the treatment of respiratory diseases.Result Y JM-1 desk-top Halotherapy device,meeting the demands of human body and featuring a good halospray size and space density,has been developed,which is highly efficient to the treatment of respiratory diseases.Conclusion Y JM-1 desk-top Halotherapy device is a novel and creative one for the treatment of respiratory diseases.

Various conditions were compared for extracting the proteolytic enxyme from the alimentary canal of Pneumatophorus juponicus (Houttuyn). The results showed that when using CaCl2 as activator, the suitable conditions were pH7. 5,extracting temperature 20 C,extracting time 2h,activiting time 16h,70% alcohol precipitaion.
