The main reason of recurrence and metastasis in breast cancer is the resistance for the radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and the mechanism of radio-resistance and chemo-resistance may be related to the DNA damage response (DDR).There is a complicated system of the DDR pathway,including cell cycle checkpoint,DNA repair,transcription and apoptosis to maintain the integrity of cell genes.In the cancer treatment,DDR occurs in various kinds of cytotoxic drugs and radiation to cause genetic damage,which limits the curative effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.This promotes the targeted therapy of DDR pathway,especially checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1).Recently,the new viewpoint supports that CHK1 is a main marker of the DDR pathway activation,which shows that CHK1 not only activates the check point but also affects the DNA repair and apoptosis directly.Thus,the role of CHK1 in DDR will promote CHK1 inhibitor to be one of the new treatment strategies for the cancer patients who resist the radiation and chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of PCNL with the use of different percutaneous renal access in treatment of renal calculi.Methods:Percutaneous renal minimal access(F14～F16)or small access(F18～F20)was established randomly in 142 patients,and PCNL were performed in all patients.The clinical parameters including operative time,complication and stone-free rate were compared in the two groups.Results:The operative time of simple renal calculi were(78.3?15.6)min and(91.2? 18.2)min(P0.05)in small access group and minimal access group respectively.The operative time of complicated renal calculi were(115.3?20.1)min and(130.7?28.7)min(P

As a new technique, photedynamic therapy was introduced in the end of 1970s and has been put into clinical application from experimental tests in recent years. Its mechanisms was established on the basis that a series of special typed cells and tissues could selectively absorb photosensitive drugs and generate photore-sponsive effects by light irradiation of definite wavelengths. Currently, the photodynamic theraputics is applied mainly in non surgical treatment of tumor betided in body superfacial and hollow viscus. Its application area has been expanded unceasingly in modern clinic due to the discovery of the selective aggregation of photoresponsive drugs to many pathological tissues and pathogenic microorganisms other than tumors, and the development of new photoresensitizer. In this paper, review is given on the effect mechanisms, the light sources and photosensitizer, as well as the application of photodynamic treatment of tumors in head and neck and its treatments of mucosal dis-ease and oral pathogenic microorganism infected diseases.

Objective To investigate the value of early hematocrit (Hct) level in predicting early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 h of onset were enrolled prospectively. They were divided into low Hct, normal Hct, and high Hct according to the quantile of the measured Hct. END was defined as an increase of ≥2 of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥1 of the motor item score within 5 d after admission compared with the baseline. The vascular risk factors, clinical features, baseline NIHSS score, infarct size, and laboratory test variables were compared between the END group and the non -END group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for END. Results A total of 216 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 128 males (59.26%). Their mean age was 67.40 ±14.12 years. Sixty-two patients (28.70%) experienced END. The normal ranges of Hct in male and female were 40.12%-46.35% and 38.32%-44.17%, respectively. Univariate analysis indicated that there were significantly differences in baseline NIHSS score ( P =0.001), fasting glucose (P =0.030), C reactive protein (CRP) (P =0.041), and the proportions of different Hct levels between the END group and the non-END group (P =0.023). The END incidences in patients with high -level Hct (40.0%) and low –level Hct (35.2%) were significantly higher than that in the normal Hct patients (20 .4%), but there was no significant difference between the high-level and low -level Hct patients ( P = 0.690). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that theigh-level Hct (odds ratio 2.460, 95% confidence interval 1.146-5.283; P =0.021) and the baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio 1.070, 95% confidence interval 1.014-1.129; P = 0.013) were the independent risk factors for END. Conclusion The elevated Hct in patients with acute ischemic stroke are susceptible to END.

ve To investigate the effects of different doses of diltiazem alone or combination with isoflurane on stunned isolated rat heart. Methods Adult male Wistar rats weighing 325-350g were anesthetized with intraabdominal pentobarbital sodium 60mg?kg-1. Heparin 200IU was injected into femoral vein. Chest was then opened and heart was removed and connected to Langendorff preparation. The isolated rat heart was perfused at 100cm H2O with Krebs-Hensleit buffer(KHB) balanced with 95%O2 and 5%CO2 at 37℃ and electrically paced at 300 bpm. Global myocardial ischemia was produced by suspension of perfusion. The isolated rat heart underwent 20 min ischemia followed by 30min reperfusion. 40 rat hearts were randomly allocated to one of 5 groups of eight each, group Ⅰ received no treatment and served as control; group Ⅱ: the isolated heart was perfused with 0.1/?mol?L-1 diltiazem for 10 min before the onset of ischemia; group Ⅲ: with 0.5?mol?L-1 diltiazem; group Ⅳ: with 0. 1?mol?L-1 diltiazem + 1.5MAC isoflurane; group Ⅴ: with 0.5?mol?L-1 diltiazem + 1.5MAC isoflurane. Left ventricle developed pressure(DP) was measured from a fluid-filled Latex balloon placed in left ventricle. The volume of the fluid in the balloon was regulated to maintain the left ventricle end-diastolic pressure at 5-8 mm Hg. Peak systolic pressure(PSP), end-diastolic pressure(EDP) and developed pressure(DP) were measured after the isolated heart was stabilized for 10min (baseline value) and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30min after reperfusion. Maximum intraventricular pressure was measured during ischemia when the isolated heart was not paced and at a stand still. Results There was no significant difference in DP, EDP, + dp/dtmax and - dp/dtmin after the isolated hearts were stabilized for 10min, before ischemia among the five groups. Perfusion with 0.1?mol?L-1 diltiazem did not affect DP significantly but 0.5?mol?L-1 diltiazem significantly decreased DP (P

Human cervical cancer oncogene(HCCR) is newly identified in cervical cancer tissues,and expresses in most human tumors. Resarches show that HCCR is a candidate marker for human hepatocelular carcinoma and breast cancer. Moreover,the expression of HCCR is regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signal pathway. The proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion of tumor cells could be inhibited by siRNA of HCCR.
