Objective To study the active secondary metabolites from marine microorganism FIM02-635. Methods The producing strain was identified by taxonomical and phylogenetic studies. Two compounds FW635I1 and FW635I2 with immunosuppressive activities were extracted by organic solvents from the culture broth and purified by silica gel column chromatography and high speed counter current chromatography. The structures of the two compounds were determined by physico-chemical properties and spectral analyses,the biological activities were assayed in vitro. Results and Conclusion The producing strain was named as Micromonospora carbonacea FIM 02-635. Two compounds FW635I1 and FW635I2 were determined to be isoflavone Daidzein and Genistein, respectively, showed immunosuppressive and antitumor activities, but not antimicrobial activities.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) before and after Kanli Decoction treatment. METHODS: Thirty-five CHF patients were treated with Kanli Decoction. We used color Doppler ultrasound to monitor the flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulsatile index (PI), resistance index (RI), baseline blood flow (BF), ejection fraction (EF) before and after the treatment. RESULTS: FMD after treatment (9.26+/-3.19) were obviously higher than that before the treatment (7.06+/-2.58) (P<0.05), but BF, PI and RI were not improved. CONCLUSION: Applying color Doppler ultrasound into observation on EDD of patients suffering from CHF and treated by the Kanli Decoction shows that the CHF could be treated by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy between preparation porcelain veneer(PPV)and no-preparation porcelain veneer(NPPV).Methods:44 patients with 97 PPVs and 23 patients with 57 NPPVs were followed up for 3 years.Mental tension, postoperative dentin sensitivity and satisfaction of the patients,survival rate of the veneers,sulcus bleeding index(SBI)of preopera-tive and postoperative 3 years were evaluated.A comparative analysis was taken to examine the clinical indicators of 2 groups accord-ing to the modified CDA /Ryge criteria.Results:Survival rates of PPVs and NPPVs were 96.91 % and 96.49%(P >0.05),satisfac-tion rates of the 2 group patients were 95.45% and 95.65%(P >0.05),respectively.Mental tension and the postoperative dentin sensitivity of patients in PPV group was higher than those in NPPV group.Preoperative and postoperative SBI were not statistically dif-ferent between the 2 groups(P >0.05).Marginal adaptation in PPV group was better than that in NPPV group.Color matching, Porcelain surface and Marginal stain were not statistically different between 2 groups.Conclusion:Preparation porcelain veneers and no-preparation porcelain veneers both are effective in clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) on salivary gland function in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Methods:In total, 101 NPC patients who were admitted from March 2010 to November 2012 were enrolled in this study. The parotid gland, the submandibular gland, and the oral cavity were sketched as the organs at risk (OARs). The patients were treated with IMRT and were evaluated through a face-to-face interview using a dry mouth assessment ques-tionnaire during the follow-up visits at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The dose volume histogram of the salivary gland of the patients was also considered. Results:The mean doses (MDs) in the parotid gland were 37.4 and 33.8 Gy in the affected and uninjured sides, respec-tively. Meanwhile, the MDs in the submandibular glands were 51.6 and 45.7 Gy in the affected and uninjured sides, respectively. The MD of the oral cavity was 38.2 Gy. At 6 months after the treatment, the symptom of xerostomia was significantly improved in 77.2%of the patients (78/101). One year later, only less than 5%of the patients complained of having G3 or higher-grade xerostomia. Conclu-sion:With time, xerostomia significantly improved after the radiotherapy. At least one of the V30 to V35 of the parotid gland was≤50.0%, whereas at least one of the V40 to V45 of the submandibular glands was≤66.7%~50.0%. The MD for the oral cavity should be<40 Gy to effectively protect salivary gland function.

Objective To investigated the protective ways of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)for submandibular gland function in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods From March 2010 to November 2012,101 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were enrolled into study.They were treated with IMRT and evaluated by face to face dry mouth questionnaire during the follow-up of 3,6,12,18,24 and more than 24 months,meanwhile,their dose volume histogram of submandibular gland were taken into consideration.Results The average contralateral median dose and that of ipsilateral submandibular gland were (45.69±7.22) Gy and (51.64±8.20) Gy,respectively,and the V35,V40,V45,V50 were 95.82 ％,69.99 ％,46.90 ％,25.50 ％,and 100 ％,96.50 ％,82.24 ％,60.98 ％,respectively.There were positive relationship between the xerostomia grading of 3,6,and 12 months after radiotherapy and the average dose of submandibular gland or the V35,V40,V45,V50.After 6 month,the xerostomia in 77.2 ％ (78/101) was significantly improved,and after 12 months,less than 5 ％ of patient complained about G3 or more grade of xerostomia.Conclusions When using IMRT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma,it' s necessary to reduce the irradiated volume and the dose of submandibular gland.It is confined that the median dose of contralateral submandibular gland should be less than 40-45 Gy,and V40 or V45 ≤66.7 ％ or ≤50 ％,which can effectively protect the function of salivary gland.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of living donor right liver graft transplantation (LDLT) with middle hepatic vein (MHV) on the early congestion and regeneration of the donor remnant liver.MethodsBetween August 2008 and August 2009,28 LDLT were performed with 11 LDLT without MHV (group A) and 17 LDLT with MHV (group B).The donor operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay,bilirubin,INR,and ALT level were recorded in detail.We measured the volume of remnant liver by means of CT scan 2 weeks after operation and compare the degree of congestion and regeneration of the remnant liver between the two groups.ResultsThere were 10 cases in group B and 0 cases in group A suffering from congestion at segment Ⅳ,and the difference was significant(P =0.006).In group B,6 cases in type Ⅰ and 4 cases in type Ⅱ developed congestion at segment Ⅳ,and the difference was significant(P=0.035).Two weeks post operation,the volume of segment Ⅳ in group B was smaller than in group A(P=0.005).The regeneration rate of segment Ⅳ in group B was smaller than in group A (P =0.007),on the contrary,the regeneration rate of segment Ⅰ - Ⅲ in group B was larger than in group A( P =0.008 ).But the regeneration rate of remnant liver was the same in both groups (P =0.63 ).ConclusionsThe right lobe hemihepatectomy with MHV does not damage the early liver function of the donor significantly.The segment Ⅳ of the remnant liver suffered from congestion and impeded the regeneration,but was compensated by the regeneration of segments Ⅰ - Ⅲ.

Objective To investigate the pathologic morphology and immunohistochemical phenotypes of sarcomatoid carcinoma(SC) of the fallopian tube.Methods One case of SC of the fallopian tube was studied under the light microscopy for morphology.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CK,EMA,S-100,Desmin,SMA,Leu-7,CD68,actin,and Vimentin in SC tissues.Pathologic features and biological behaviors of SC were analyzed in combination with the review of literature.Results Microscopically carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements co-existed.Usually the sarcomatous element formed the bulk of the lesion.In the sarcomatous tissues,there was no distinguishable bone,cartilage,rhadomyosarcoma,etc. Immunohistochemically the strong expression of CK7,EMA and Vimentin,and the partial expression of S-100,SMA,Leu7,CD68 and actin were detected.Conclusion SC of the fallopian tube is lack of specific symptoms,and its preoperative diagnosis is difficult.B-ultrasonography,CT and MRI are helpful to the staging of SC.Final diagnosis of SC depends on pathological examination and immunohistochemistry.SC is rare,and undergoes blood metastasis in early stage.Prognosis of SC is worst.Early detection of SC is the key to improve the prognosis.

Objective To summarize the experience of reconstruction of Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins in right lobe (without middle hepatic vein) living donor liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 55 cases of living donor liver transplantation of right lobe without middle hepatic vein were analyzed, and Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins were reconstructed. All donors underwent evaluation on the basis of vascular anatomy, GRWR and graft volume/ESLV. Fifty-one grafts underwent reconstruction of Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins with cold-storage cadaveric iliac veins. Great saphenous vein, varicose umbilical veins, recipient intrahepatic portal veins and recipient intrahepatic veins were used respectively in the remaining 4 cases. Results One recipient died of obstruction of out-flow on the postoperative day 43. One recipient was converted to cadaver donor liver transplantation at the 7th day after operation, because of acute liver function failure. The remaining 53 cases recovered successfully. Conclusion Reconstruction of Ⅴ and Ⅷ hepatic veins with proper materials in right lobe (without middle hepatic vein) living donor liver transplantation is feasible, and the effect is satisfactory.

Objective To evaluate the effect of family interventions on the prevention of falls in elderly hypertensive patients. Methods One hundred elderly hypertensive patients were divided into the experiment group and the control group in equal number. The control group returned for regular visits after discharge while the experiment group received the family intervention including cognitive,psychological,behavioral and environmental intervention.The two groups were compared in terms of fall rate and degree of injury.Results The incidence of falls in the experiment group was significantly lower than that of the control group,the incidence of soft tissue injury after a fall in the experiment group was significantly lower than that of the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion Family intervention is effective in prevention of falls in elderly hypertensive patients for it may reduce the incidence of falls and the degree of fall injuries.

Objective To analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies of liver-localized posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disease (LL-PTLD).Methods Six cases of LL-PTLD from more than 3000 cases of liver transplant recipients from July 2003 to July 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Other six cases of LL-PTLD were retrieved through Pubmed and Wanfang.The diagnosis and treatment of 12 cases of LL-PTLD were summarized and analyzed.Results All patients with LL-PTLD were diagnosed pathologically.The incidence of LL-PTLD was 0.2％ (6/3000).Among 12 patients,immunosuppressant and anti-EB virus treatment was reduced or withdrawn in the vast majority of patients,and treatment response was satisfactory.Systemic chemotherapy was given in 6 cases,and three of them died.Local radiation therapy was given in 4 cases,the tumor was significantly controled,and patients survived.Secondary liver transplantation was performed on 3 cases: 1 case died of recurrent lymphoma,and one case received partial hepatectomy and no lymphoma recurred.Conclusion For cases with obstructive symptoms of fever and chills associated with jaundice without reasonable explanation,LL-PTLD is suspected and diagnosed by liver biopsy.Basic treatments such as adjustment of immunosuppressive agents and anti-viral therapy are recommended as early as possible.Local radiation therapy is a treatment method of LL-PTLD,which can obtain a satisfactory therapeutic effect.
