The β-adrenergic receptor has close relationship with the occurrence and development of tumor.The β-adrenergic receptors were expressed in a variety of tumors.Its activation can stimulate tumor growth by promoting cell proliferation,inhibite apoptosis,promote angiogenesis,and enhance tumor invasion and metastasis.The β-adrenergic receptor blockers can suppress the tumor growth,which may become one of the effective methods of cancer prevention and treatment.

Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), an optimizing model of concurrent parameter and tolerance design is proposed where response mean equals its target in the target being best. The optimizing function of the model is the sum of quality loss and tolerance cost subjecting to the variance confidence region of which six sigma capability can be assured. An example is illustrated in order to compare the differences between the developed model and the parameter design with minimum variance. The results show that the proposed method not only achieves robustness, but also greatly reduces cast. The objectives of high quality and low cost of product and process can be achieved simultaneously by the application of six sigma concurrent parameter and tolerance design.

Objective To investigate the clinical treatment effect of tubular stomach substitute for esophagus anastomosis in the radical surgery of esophageal cancer.Methods Ninety-seven patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 2013 to June 2015 were selected.They were divided into two groups,51 patients using the gastric tube substitute for esophagus anastomosis in the gastric tube group,and 46 patients using the traditional full stomach substitute for esophagus anastomosis in the whole stomach group.The operation times,intraoperative blood losses,the amount of postoperative gastrointestinal decompression,hospital stays,pathologic stages and incidences of complications after surgery in the two groups were observed and compared.Results There were no preoperative death in the two groups.The gastric tube group took more operating time than the whole stomach group [(287.43 ± 23.64) min vs.(266.13 ±26.47) min],with a significant difference (t =2.279,P =0.031).In the comparison of the amount of gastrointestinal decompression,the gastric tube group was less than the whole stomach group [(1 908.14 ±327.97) ml vs.(2 221.93 ± 323.87) ml],with a significant difference (t =-2.591,P =0.015).There were not significant differences in blood losses [(325.00 ± 64.30) ml vs.(356.67 ± 49.52) ml;t =-1.490,P =0.147],the numbers of lymph nodes [(10.73 ± 4.83) vs.(10.36 ± 5.31);t =0.238,P =0.813],hospital stays [(15.32 ± 3.69) d vs.(16.45 ± 3.80) d;t =-1.005,P =0.320] and pathologic stages (P =0.713) in the gastric tube group and whole stomach group.The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux in the gastric tube group was significantly less than that in the whole stomach group,with a significant difference (1.96％ vs.15.22％;x2 =5.617,P =0.025).The occurrence of the complications like anastomotic leakage (5.88％ vs.10.87％;x 2=0.795,P =0.471),postoperative pulmonary complications (13.73 ％ vs.23.91％;x2 =1.661,P =0.296)and anastomotic stenosis (7.84％ vs.13.04％;x2 =0.707,P =0.510) had no statistical difference in the gastric tube group and whole stomach group.Conclusion In the surgical treatment of esophageal cancer,tubular stomach substitute for esophagus anastomosis is better than the full stomach substitute for esophageal surgery,which can improve the life quality of postoperative patients and is worthy of clinical promotion.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus ice excitation on dysphagia in stroke patients.Methods60 stroke patients with dysphagia were divided randomly into treatment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The treatment group received acupuncture plus ice excitation, while the control group only received acupuncture. The course was 4 weeks.ResultsThe curative effect showed that the total effective rate was 96.67% in the treatment group with recovery in 23 cases, improvement in 6 cases, and uselessness in 1 case, while the total effective rate was 73.33% in the control group with recovery in 17 cases, improvement in 5 cases, and uselessness in 8 cases (χ2=6.435, P＜0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture plus ice excitation had a good effect on dysphagia in stroke patients.

Objective To study the influence of HBV infection for gastromucous membrane in chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis and its pathogenesis.Methods The liver biopsy,gastroscope,liver function and HBVM were detected at the same time in 60 patients with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis.HBsAg and HBcAg in the tissues of liver and gastromucous membrane were detected by SP immunohistochemistry.Results The damage of gastromucous membrane were found in 56 of 60 patients.Its damage degree was showed as moderate and severe.The other 34 showed mild and moderate damage(P

To develop a medication reminder based on Android platform, which can be used to set up personalized reminders quickly and record the patient' s medication time-stamp and related information. In addition, the effect of using the reminder on medication compliance was studied. 14 subjects participated in the evaluation of medica-tion compliance. The differences of dosage and medication rate between the group using and without using reminder were investigated. The dosage and medication rate were got by the pill counting. The Wilcoxon matched -pairs signed rank test showed that the dosage and the medication rate of the group using reminder were higher than that without using reminder significantly(Z= -2. 93, P =0. 003 ). The results demonstrated that the use of the re-minder can improve the medication dose and rate significantly,indicate that the reminder might be a new technical support for clinical research on medication compliance, and also might reduce the workload for medical staff and patients.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the correlation between serum level of TXB2, 6-Keto-PGF1alpha and liver metastasis. METHODS: The metastatic model was made by injection of W256 carcinosarcoma. Rats were randomly divided into two groups: rats with blood stasis group and control group. Rats in control group were given normal saline via abdominal cavity once a day. Rats in blood stasis group were injected adrenalin in the fourteenth day. Tumor size and liver metastasis were observed. Serum TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGF1alpha were tested by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Tumor size in rats with blood stasis was significantly smaller than that of the control group (P<0.01). Occurrence of liver metastasis in rats with blood stasis was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). The values of 6-Keto-PGF1alpha, TXB2, and TXB2/6-Keto-PGF1alpha were higher in the group with blood stasis. CONCLUSION: In the status of blood stasis, W256 carcinosarcoma grows slowly, and liver metastasis increases insignificantly, with the elevations of 6-Keto-PGF1alpha, TXB2 and TXB2/6-Keto-PGF1alpha.
