Cancer stem cells (CSC) play a crucial role in the tumor angiogenesis.Angiogenic factors and hypoxia mediate the process.CSC car differentiate into vascular endothelial cells and participate in the formation of vasculogenic mimicry,which may be one of the key factors in the initiation and progression of tumors.lndepth studies of the roles of CSC in tumor angiogenesis might help provide the basis for developing more effective therapeutic drug target.

Tumor angiogenesis is an important way of rapid proliferation and metastasis for malignancies,and a variety of cellular and molecular factors involved in the process.Angiopoietin-2(Ang-2) is one of the important vascular endothelial growth factor,which influences tumor angiogenesis mainly through releasing vascular structures and damaging the vessel stability.Recent researches reveal that Ang-2 modulates tumor angiogenesis interacting with other vascular growth factors.With the new research progress,Ang-2 will not only be an important target for antiangiogenic therapy,but also further improve clinical efficacy of antitumor therapy combined with other signal pathways as common targets.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 ( HIF-1 ) is one of the most important transcriptional factors which regulate the transcription of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ), HIF-1 plays a critical role in tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. The transcriptional regulation role for HIF-1 in tumor angiogenesis is closely related to its molecular structure,biological character and molecular mechanism and signaling pathways.

The process of tumor angiogenesis is a complicated chain reaction which happens under the action of a series of positive feedback and negative feedback factors . Cancer stem cells are small part cell groups of self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential in tumors. Many studies indicate that tumor stem cells participate in the process of tumor angiogenesis, and vascular endothelial growth factor can regulate endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis, thereby promoting tumor growth and metastasis.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is an important transcriptional factor,which plays crucial role in response to hypoxia.HIF is highly expressed in many human cancers,and it is closely related to tumor angiogenesis.HIF promotes tumor growth,invasion and metastasis via up-regulating vascular endothelial growth factor gene and starting associated angiogenesis.With the in-depth study of HIF regulation of tumor angiogenesis mechanism,HIF is expected to become an important target for anti-angiogenesis therapy.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of different doses of budesonide mixed suspension atomization inhalation in children with post infectious cough,and provide reference for the rational use of budesonide.Methods One hundred and twenty children with post infectious cough aged 2-14 years old were selected and divided into three groups by random digits table method (40 cases in each group).Control group was treated with 4 mg once montelukast sodium chewable tablets for 2-5 years old children,or 5 mg once for 6-14 years old children.Low-dose group was treated 2 times/d with a dose of 0.5 mg budesonide mixed suspension diluted in normal saline to 4 ml based on control group and high-dose group was treated 2 times/d with a dose of 1.0 mg budesonide mixed suspension diluted in normal saline to 4 ml based on control group.The outcome of curative effects were recorded and analyzed after 7 days of treatment.Results The total efficacy rate was 70.0％(28/40),52.5％(21/40),35.0％(14/40) in high-dose group,low-dose group and control group after 3 days of treatment,and there was significant difference between high-dose group and control group (P＜ 0.01).The total efficacy rate was 92.5％(37/40),90.0％(36/40),72.5％ (29/40) in high-dose group,low-dose group and control group after 7 days of treatment,and there was no significant difference(P ＞ 0.025).Few adverse events associated with inhaled corticosteroids,such as thrush,sore throat,hoarseness were observed in three groups.Conclusions Budesonide mixed suspension atomization inhalation alleviates symptom of post infectious cough significantly with no obvious side effects,even in high-dose group which has a more outstanding efficacy.Therefore,this therapy is valuable in clinical application.

Objective: To observe changes of EEG parameters,including bispectral index (BIS),spectral edge frequency(SEF)and median frequency(MF),and the association between the changes of EEG variables and hemodynamic responses to intubation during induction by propofol with or without fentanyl. Method: Twenty-four ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients were randomly assigned to double-blindly receiving intravenous propofol/normal saline (group P, n=12)or propofol/fentanyl 2?g/kg(group PF,n=12), respectively. Intubation was performed following 5-min maintenance of BIS within 45?5. EEG and hemodynamic variables were recorded at endpoints of pre-induction, pre-intubation and post-intubation. Result:In group P,blood pressure and heart rate at post-intubation were significantly increased compared with pre-induction value(P

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect in two kinds of inhalation in infant asthmatic bronchitis.Methods Two hundred and twelve asthmatic bronchitis children were randomly divided into group A (103 cases) and group B (109 cases).The children in two groups were treated with conventional therapy,including antibiotics,fluids and other treatment.The children in group A were given budesonide 1 mg,terbutaline 5 mg plus 0.9％ sodium chlorine in 2 ml,with oxygen driven inhalation therapy,2-4 times/d.The children in group B were given albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol 1-4 spray/times,4-6 times/d,inhaled fluticasone quantitative aerosol spray 1-2 spray/times,2 times/d,15 s/times.The course of two groups was 5-7 d.The therapeutic effect was compared.Results The total effective rate in group A and group B were 92.2 ％ (95/103) and 97.2 ％ (106/109),there was no significant difference (x2 =2.73,P ＞ 0.05).The relieve time of cough,gasping and wheezing,hospital stay in group B were shorter than those in group A [(12.00 ± 2.75) h vs.(29.00 ± 1.25) h,(10.00 ± 1.45) h vs.(31.00 ± 2.75) h,(13.00 ± 1.55) h vs.(33.00 ± 2.33) h,(7.20 ± 0.65) d vs.(8.70 ± 1.35) d],the cost of hospitalization in group B was lower than that in group A [(2.00 ± 0.30) thousand Yuan vs.(2.50 ± 0.55) thousand Yuan],there were significant differences(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The albuterol inhalation solution combined with fluticasone has the advantages of rapid efficacy,short course,low cost,easy to accept and adjust.It is worth to spread in primary hospital.
