Objective To explore the effect of recombinant human vascular endostatin(Endostar,YH-16) on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in nude mice. Methods Forty nude mice were randomized into four groups and received injection with MCF-7 cells. When gross tumor volume reached 1.0 cm3 ,mice were injected subcutaneously once every two days as following for 20 days: (1) O. 9% NS(0. 2 mg/kg) in negative control group;(2) YH-16(20 mg/kg) in YH-16 group; (3) DDP (1 mg/kg) in positive control group; (4) DDP (1 mg/kg) plus YH-16(20 mg/kg) in DDP plus YH-16 group. Mice were killed by cervical spine disloca-tion. And the body weight, tumor volume, rate of tumor inhibited, VEGF, apoptosis rate of tumor cells and pul-monary metastasis rate were detected. Results The means (SD) of tumor volume in DDP plus YH-16 group,positive control group, YH- 16 group and negative control group were 0. 686 (0. 229), 1. 258 (0. 101), 1. 888 (0. 215), 3. 366 (0. 284) cm3, respectively (P <0. 05) ; the rates of tumor inhibited in the four groups were 92. 1% ,57.3 %, 36. 5 % and 0, respectively (P < 0. 05) ; pulmonary metastasis rates were 0, 10%, 20% and 90% ,respectively(P <0. 05) ;the mean (SD) of apoptosis rates of tumor ceils were 31.6% (2. 7%) ,28. 1%(2. 7%), 19. 4% (2. 9%), 15.7% (3.2%), respectively (P < 0. 05). The mean of absorbance of VEGF in the four groups were 0. 530 ± 0. 164,0. 759 ± 0. 210,1. 063 ± 0. 295,1. 268 ±0. 145 (RT-PCR) and O. 260 ±0. 082,0. 348 ±0. 085,0. 461 ±0. 099,0. 556 ± 0. 113(Western blot) ,respectively(P < 0. 05). Conclusion YH-16 can inhibit MCF-7 breast cancer cell growth and distant metastasis in nude mice with little adverse reac-tion. YH-16 has synergistic effect combined with DDP.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. The pathological eatures of Alzheimer's disease are abnormal deposition of amyloid beta-peptides (Aβ), neurofibrillary tangles, cholinergic deficits, and loss of synaptic processes and dendritic spines. Senescence accelerated mouse prone 8 exhibits age-related deficits of learning and memory from an early age, tau protein phosphorylation, neurotransmitter changes, synaptic structure and function disorders, circadian rhythm disorders,as well as gene expression and many other characteristic changes, which are consistent with Alzheimer's disease pathological changes,and can be used as an ideal animal model for Alzheimer's disease prevention drugs development.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A total of 233 patients(emergency group) were treated with emergency PCI within 48 h of heart attack and another 152 patients(delayed group) were treated with PCI after 3-14 days of medical therapy.All culprit lesions were treated.Procedural success rate,the time from admission to angina relief,the length of hospital stay and cardiac events incidence in 30 days were observed.Results The procedural success rates for the emergency group and the delayed group were similar(98.1% vs 95.5%),but cardiac events incidence in 30 days was significantly lower in the emergency group than that of the delayed group(2.9% vs 14.1%,P

Objective:To study the CT and PET/CT features of pleural mesothelioma and the value of CT and PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis of the disease.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the spiral CT images of 23 patients and PET/CT images of 7 patients with pleural mesothelioma,all histologically confirmed.Results:Of the 23 cases detected by spiral CT,7 were benign and 16 malignant;local nodular pleural thickening was found in 9 cases,7 benign and 2 malignant;diffuse pleural thickening was observed in 14 cases,all malignant.Of the 7 cases diagnosed by PET/CT,5 were excluded from surgery.Conclusion:CT imaging helps determine the location,shape,extent of the pleural lesion and its relation to the surrounding tissues,while PET/CT is better in the differentiation of pleural mesothelioma and staging of malignancy,and therefore plays an important guiding role in the treatment of the disease.

Objective: To discuss the imaging features of esophageal fistula and the value of intervention.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the complete clinical data of 12 cases of esophageal fistula treated from June 2000 to May 2008,of whom,2 developed esophago-thoracis fistula and esophago-mediastinum fistula respectively after conservative radiotherapy,and 10 developed esophageal fistula after surgery for esophageal cancer.All the patients received iodine-based oral contrast,spiral CT scanning and intraperitoneal stent implantation for fistula closure.Results: Iodine-based oral contrast showed that the contrast agent overflowed into the chest in 8 cases,into the airway in 3 and into the mediastinum in 1.Spiral CT scanning revealed 8 cases of pleural fistula and 2 cases of remnant stomach-airway fistula,but failed to display the other 2 because of the small size.Intraperitoneal stent implantation was successfully accomplished in all the cases,which helped to close the fistula,take in food,stop bucking,control lung,mediastinum and other infections,and improve the patients' quality of life.Conclusion: Esophageal fistula can be effectively diagnosed based on the findings of iodine-based oral contrast and spiral CT scanning.As a novel technique,intraperitoneal stent implantation for fistula closure,simple,safe and with obvious immediate effect,is well worth promoting.

Objective:Percutaneous fluoroscopic gastrostomy(PFG) is an alterative method for the patients who were not suitable for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG) and stent.This is a study to report the clinical experience of PFG in 25 patients. Methods:Twenty-five patients could not have oral intake due to obstruction of the oesophagus and depended on long-term parenteral nutrition.They contraindicated for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.Results:The procedures all were successful completed without complication.The patients could use home enteral nutrition and get rid of parenteral nutrition.The patients' quality of life was improved significantly.Conclusion:PFG is a useful,convenient and less complication method for patients who are contraindication for PEG.

Obiective To discuss the diagnosis value, limitations and mutual complement of MRI and TDUI in the fetus. Methods, TDUI and MRI was performed in 24 cases pregnant women that suspected fetus congenital malformation by Ultrasound examination, the examination results were compared by MR1 and TDUI with the clinical results.Results The 9 cases congenital malformation of 24 cases pregnant women were found by MRI. The 9 cases were confirmed and 3 cases were more sufficient by MRI. The one case examined by MRI was normal other than Ultrasound examination. Conclusion MRI is superior to Ultrasound in diagnosing malformation of nervous system. The Ultrasound and the TDUI in particular is better in finding the surface malformation than MRI. In clinical application, MRI and Ultrasound must be connected to make up the limitation and have a definite diagnosis.
