OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of temozolomide(TMZ)in combination with dexamethasone(DXM)on the proliferation of human gliocytoma U251 cells in vitro.METHODS:Human U251 cells were assigned to 1 of the 3 groups: TMZ(10,25,50,100,200,400?mol?L~(-1),respectively)alone or in combination with 40?mol?L~(-1)DXM(TMZ+DXM group)or control group(none drug).After treatment for 72 hours,the cell morphology,cell inhibition ratio,cell cycle and the apoptotic rate were detected.RESULTS:When TMZ concentration was greater than 100?mol?L~(-1)the cell inhibition ratio was higher in TMZ-treated group than in TMZ+DXM-treated group(P

The event of “diagnosing mental disorder but actually not” violates patients′right of informed con-sent and refused to health , showing some problems of “diagnosing mental disorder but actually not” and mandatory admission process and psychiatric judicial authentication , and also have some ethical problems .Therefore, relevant departments should perfect the laws and regulation , establish a hospitalized psychiatric patients appeal , the appeal channels , at the same time , physicians should follow a correct understanding , respect patients rights , disinterest-ed, the ethical principles of self -supervision and also use constraints should be regulated .

With Jianyu (LI 15), Jianliao (TE 14) and Jianzhen (SI 9) for instance, the three acupoints used to treat shoulder bi syndrome by needle knife, and through traceability and researching constant structure, the acupoint position, insertion trace, manipulation and clinical significance of needle knife medicine were discussed. Accurate position is one of the characteristics of acupoints selection of needle knife medicine. As for the acupoints selection method, the mean of body surface localization is always used. The phanerous or palpable bone processes, muscles and tendons are taken as positioning marks; pressing areas where appear sour, numb, or distensible and other sensations is considered as the principle of press positioning. So acupoints position method is the combination of observation and palpation. Different insertion methods can effectively relieve the accretive bursae synovialis, tendon, joint capsule and the compressed nerve, so that shoulder bi syndrome is relieved.

Splenic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe, effective and minimally-invasive approach for the management of hypersplenism due to portal hypertension. After RFA, the remnant volume of the spleen will be decreased, the hypersplenism can be corrected, and the hepatic artery blood flow can be significantly increased with resultant marked improvement of liver function; in addition, hypertrophy and regeneration of the liver can be induced. However, many factors can affect the therapeutic results of RFA,therefore, further studies are necessary to clarify the underlying mechanisms.

Objective To establish a method of solid phase extraction-reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography(SPE-HPLC)for determination of methomyl in plasma of rat.Methods The sample pretreatment method,the test conditions,the linear range,the sensitivity,the specificity,the precision, the accuracy,the stability and the recoveries for plasma were investigated by using rat plasma spiked with standard methomyl and intemal standard substance.Results The linear range was 0.1～20μg/mL ( r= 0.9993,P<0.001).The limit of detection was 0.03μg/mL(S/N ≥3).The intra and inter-day precision of assay for methomyl was less than 8.33%and 11.11%in plasma respectively.The intra and inter-day accuracy of assay for methomyl was between 90%and 120%in plasma respectively.The recoveries for methomyl were more than 88%±4.4%in plasma.Conclusion The HPLC method for quantitative and qualitative analysis of methomyl is simple,rapid and accurate,which is suitable for the identification of methomyl in the cases.

Radioimmunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies incorporated with radionuclide has been showed to be an effective agent for refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Many anti-CD20 antibodies labeled with radionuclide, such as 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and 131I-tositumomab tiuxetan (Bexxar), have been reported to be effective for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or transformed NHL. This review summarizes the current advance in clinical trials and studies of Zevalin and Bexxar for the treatment of NHL patients.
