Objective To determine the prognostic factors after radical resection (RR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Altogether 144 patients who had undergone RR for HCC from 1988 through 1995 were included for a univariate and a Cox multivariate analysis.Nineteen factors contributing to overall survival rate (SR) and disease-free SR were analysed.Results The 5-year SR and disease-free SR (N=144) were 47.3% and 23.9%,separately.Multivariate analysis revealed that classification of RR was the signficant factor to overall SR,and presence of vessel invasion was the signficant factor to disease-free SR.The 5-year SR and disease-free SR in the patholngically RR and clinically RR groups were 60.2%,29.0% and 14.0%,0%,respectively.The 5-year disease-free SR in the group without (or with) vessel invasion was 27.8% (or 0%).Conclusions The classification of RR is the determinative prngnostie factor.Pathologically RR is the first option for patients with in- dications.It is essential to improve adjuvant therapy to decrease postoperative recurrence and metastasis rates.

Radiotherapy is the principle method of non-surgical treatment for esophageal cancer.The 5-year survival rate ranges from 20％ to 40％.In recent years,the studies have found that anti-angiogenesis therapy can not only directly inhibit tumor nutritional intake,but also turn around tumor hypoxia by normalizing tumor vessels so as to enhance the radio-sensitivity of tumor ceils,which is expected to become an effective way to improve the curative effect of esophageal cancer radiotherapy.

The structures of target compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The effects of compounds 6a-6g on the smooth muscle of intestine isolated from rabbit were studied, and the experimental results showed that compounds 6a, 6d and 6g had diastolic action, while 6f had contractile action.

Purpose: To confirm the therapeutic effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone(TRH) on the experimental spinal cord injury. Method: Wistar rats were subjected to incomplete spinal cord injury using the modified Allen method. The effects were observed by means of neurologic scoring, quantitative enzyme histocytoehemistry、quantitative immunohistocytochemistry and electron microscopy. Results: 1) The treated group exhibited significantly higher scores than the control group. 2) Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity of anterior horn cells in the treated group was higher than that of the control group invarious time, and its activity restored to normal level two weeks after injury; Acid phosphatase(AePase) activity was lower than that of the control group in various time. and its activity restored to normal level four weeks after injury. The content of Nissl's bodies in anterior horn cells in the treated group was higher than that of the control goup one week after injury. 3)The number of axon in a certain area of spinal white matter in the treated group was more than that of the control group. 4)Ultrastructural observation showed that both the nerve tissue injury and the extent of hemorrhage were milder in the treated group than that of the control group. Conclusion: The therapeutic effects of TRH on the spinal cord injury" are shown not only in the improving recovery of motor function, but also in the morphology.

Medical psychology master's degree graduate student course mainly includes basic cour-ses, professional courses and psychological skills training, professional practice skills learning and scientific research quality training. Due to the constraints of discipline development starting late, teachers being rela-tively weak and other objective factors, in curriculum setting, there exist problems of unclear objectives, confusing the primary with secondary, unclear standard, lacking principles, and in particular, there are obvious deficiencies in the training and cultivation of students' ! professional skills . Based on the above objective problems, we made preliminary discussion on the training objectives, the main problems, curricu-lum setting, assessment standards and principles to follow, in order to achieve the purpose of cultivating high-level application-oriented talents through curriculum design and teaching practice.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment ofBrucellosis disease in children in recent years.Methods The clinical data of 24 children withBrucellosis disease admitted during January 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 24 children, 18 was male and 6 was female and average age was 9.8±3.13 years (4-14 years). Twenty-four children were diagnosed withBrucellosis disease by positive tiger red plate agglutination tests and their antibody titer was 1:800-1:100. The children lived mainly in the pastoral areas; four cases (16.67%) had sick family members and cattle and sheep; three cases (12.5%) had histoty of contact only with sick family members; 12 cases (50.00%) had cattle and sheep exposure history; 3 cases (12.5%) had raised cattle or sheep at home in the past 2 years; 2 cases (8.33%) had not have clear transmission route. The onset of the disease occurred year round, with the highest incidence in June and July. The common clinical symptoms were fever, arthralgia, weak, sweat, and anorexia, combined with hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. Patients younger than 8 years old were treated with rifampin and sulfamethoxazole. Patients equal to or older than 8 years old were treated with doxycycline and rifampin. Twenty-three children had been cured after treatment. Only one child stopped taking the drugs 3 weeks after discharge, which resulted in recurrence.Conclusion For children living in pasturing area suffered with unexplained recurrent fever, brucellosis disease should be considered and ruled out.

Objective To detect the expression of CD133 in hepatic cell lines SMMC7721 and bcl-7402, and to investigate the possibility of CD133 as the surface marker of liver cancer stem cells. Methods The cell cycle and expression of CD133 in hepatic cell lines SMMC7721 and bcl-7402 were detected by flow eytometry. Magnetic cell sorting was used to isolate CD133-positive and CD133-negative cells. The differences in morphology, proliferation and differentiation between CD133-positive and CD133-negative cells were observed and analyzed by one-way ANOVA and u test. Results The percentages of CD133-positive cells in SMMC7721 and bcl-7402 cell lines were 0.7% -1.0% and 1.7% -8.9%, respectively. The percentages of CD133-positive cells in G0>/G1> phase in the 2 cell lines were 85.3% and 89.4%, which were significantly higher than CD133-negative cells and unsorted cells (F = 14.49, 38.84, P <0.05). The in vitro proliferation capability of CD133-positive cells was greater than that of CD133-negative cells and unsorted cells, especially during day 1-3 and day 5-7 (F =49.32,784.04, 89.91, 152.83, P < 0. 05). During the cultivation, the proportion of the CD133-positive cells decreased as time passed by, and the proportion of CD133-positive cells was nearly the same as unsorted cells on day 15 (u =O. 271, P <0.05). Conclusions CD133-positive ceils have strong capability of proliferation and differentiation in SMMC7721 and bcl-7402 cell lines in vitro. CD133 is one of the surface markers of liver cancer stem cells.

Introduction: Consumers seldom pay attention to the nutritional aspects of food during purchasing. The study examined the influence of age and level of education on the nutrition knowledge and dietary choices of a sample of Chinese consumers. Methods: Probability and non-probability sampling methods were used to select four supermarkets and subjects for this cross-sectional descriptive survey conducted in Shenyang, the capital city of Liaoning Province in China. A response rate of 95.9% was obtained after retrieving 400 questionnaires out of 417 distributed. Results: About two-thirds (615%) of the respondents rated their nutrition knowledge level as "fair". Independent t-test revealed a significant age difference in knowledge levels (t (398) = 5.467, p < 0.01 (two-tailed)] with 7.0% (eta square (re) = 0.070) of the variance in nutritional knowledge explained by age groups. Significant differences (p < 0.01) in knowledge level jF (2, 397) = 7.765, p = 0.00] were also observed among the three educational groups using one-way ANOVA, with nutritional knowledge accounting for 19.1% (eta square (re) = 0.191) of the variance. However, age and level of education did not present any significant influence on the respondents' food choices. The results suggest that nutrition knowledge increased with age and level of education, but did not sufficiently affect food choices. Conclusion: Supportive nutrition education on use of label information complemented with practical use of such information may augment nutrition knowledge and assist consumers to make healthy food choices
