Objective To study the relationship between helicobocter pylori(Hp)infection and iron deficiency anemia(IDA)in children.Methods Children who had upper digestive symptom were had gastroscopy examination and Hp test.According to the examination results,all the patients were divi-ded into 2 groups,the observation group and the control group.All patients were detected blood routine,serum iron(SI),serum ftrritin(SF)and total iron-binding capacity(TIBC).Results The IDA morbidity was 52.27%(23/44 cases)in obsorvation group and 17.39%(8/46 cases)in control group,there was obvious difference between two groups(?2=12.12 P

The study aims to establish a quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (QNMR) method for the determination of the absolute content of bosentan. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy [1H NMR] spectra were obtained in CDCl3 with the internal standard dimethyl terephthalate and zg30 pulse sequence by using a Bruker AVANCE II 400 spectrometer. The content of bosentan is determined with QNMR in comparison with the result obtained by mass balance method. The result is 96.25% by QNMR and 96.54% by mass balance method. A rapid and accurate QNMR method has been established for the quantitative determination of the absolute content of bosentan. The study provides a new way for the quality control and calibration of a new reference standard material, it could be the complementary with the mass balance method for the assay of standard reference.

Objective To investigate the association between the expression of heparanase(Hpa) and the invasion of choriocarcinoma by studying the expression of Hpa in human choriocarcinoma cell lines JEG-3 and JAR and human chorionic villous tissues.Methods(1)Matrigcl invasion assays were used to detect in vitro invasive ability of JEG-3 cells and JAR cells.(2)Expression of Hpa protein in the human chorionic villous tissues and choriocarcinoma cell lines(JEG-3 cells and JAR cells)were detected by immunocytochemistry and western blot.Results(1)The invasive cell number was significantly larger in JEG-3 cells than in JAR cells(191?17 vs 106?13,P

Objective To evaluate the role of nephron sparing surgery in patients with renal cell carcinoma. Methods Retrospectively analyzed a total of 17 patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with nephron sparing surgery between September 1997 and September 2002.Among these patients,2 cases were bilateral asynchronous and multicentric tumor,15 cases were unifocal tumor.2 cases were in imperative indications,6 cases in relative indications,and 9 cases in elective indications.The tumor diameter ranged from 2 cm to 6 cm,all tumor were in T 1 (1997 TNM staging system).15 cases underwent tumor enucleation at 1 cm apart from surgical margin,1 case underwent upper polar nephrectomy,1 case underwent wedged resection.Selected 20 patients matched for age, tumor location and stage who underwent radical nephrectomy at same period for comparison with an average follow-up of 36.4 months. Results The patients were followed up for an average period of 35.2 months (range,3 to 63 months),no surgical complication or local recurrence has been observed,and its long-term cancer-free survival was comparable to that after radical nephrectomy. Conclusions Nephron sparing surgery is safe and effective for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and indicated for patients with small,localized,often incidental tumors and a normal contra-lateral kidney.

AIM:To study the rationality and the best dosage of Qidan Decoction (Radix Astragali,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Fructus Psoraleae,etc.) on inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis. METHODS:The ability of inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis and the activity of NK cell were detected as indexes to appraise the rational and the best dosage. RESULTS:The function of Astragalus membranaceus,Salvia miltiorrhiza.Ege.,psoralea corylifolia and Lycium Barbarum on inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis and rising the activity of NK cell was significant(P

Objective: To evaluate value of application of intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) in diagnosing borderline lesions in left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left main coronary artery (LM). Methods: According to results of coronary angiography (CAG) in 60 cases with coronary borderline lesions, including 20 cases in LM, 20 cases in proximal segment of LAD and 20 cases in middle segment of LAD, the diagnostic value of IVUS in coronary borderline lesion was evaluated. Results: Compared with CAG, mean diameter stenosis rate of each coronary artery [LM: (65.3l±7.81) % vs. (75.28±8.89) %，proximal segment of LAD: (66.67±8.79) % vs. (78.89±7.88) %，middle segment of LAD: (71.55±6.83) % vs. (75.3l±7.81) %, P<0.01 all] significantly increased in IVUS. The differences of detection rate of plaque calcification and plaque rupture were no significant between CAG and IVUS（＞0.05）. Conclusion: Different degrees of underestimation of coronary artery stenosis exist in CAG, especially in proximal segment of LAD. IVUS can be an effective complement to CAG.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Ti-TiO2 nanotubes with different diameters on the adhesion of fibroblast and osteoblast, and to find which diameter was more favorable for cells' respective adhesion.

METHODSPure titanium sheets were polished and then anodized at different potentials for 1 h with Ti as anode and Pt as cathode. TiO2 nanotubes formed at 1, 5, 10 and 20 V potentials served as experimental groups and polished pure titanium served as control group. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (Fe-SEM) was used to analyze the surface topography. Stained nucleus with Hoechst33342 were used to measure the cell adhesion. The cell shape on the sample surface were analyzed with Fe-SEM.

RESULTSTiO2 nanotube array of different inner diameters from 15 nm to 100 nm were grown on titanium sheets by anodization at potentials from 1 to 20 V. At 30, 60 and 120 min, fibroblast adhesion at nanotubes anodized at 5 V was (141 ± 9), (388 ± 14) and (489 ± 15) respectively, significantly less than any other nanotube surface at the same time (P < 0.01). Nanotubes anodized at 20 V had the least inhibitory effect for fibroblast adhesion with a number of (579 ± 14) at 120 min, and the cell shape was also inhibited. At 30, 60 and 120 min, osteoblast had a significant better adhesion on nanotubes formed at 5 V than it did on any other surface at the same time (P < 0.01), except the control group at 30 min, with the adhesion number of (198 ± 10), (431 ± 10) and (501 ± 10) respectively, and osteoblast had a abundant spread on nanotubes formed at 5 V; while osteoblast adhesion on nanotubes anodized at 20 V was (152 ± 11), (403 ± 9) and (465 ± 12) respectively, less than on any other nanotube surface within the same time (P < 0.05), and the cell shape on the surface changed to be more elongate.

CONCLUSIONSFibroblast adhesion is inhabited more or less on Ti-TiO2 nanotubes of different diameters. Nanotubes formed at 5 V have the most osteoblast adhesion, and inhibit fibroblast adhesion.
