Objective To compare three kinds of irradiation treatment plans for cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer,in order to arrived at proper decision for the patient.Methods From February 2001 to June 2004,43 such patients were studied with three different simulated treatment plans made including conformal plan,conventional four-field plan and conventional two-field plan for every one.All plans were evaluated with iso- dose curve and dose-volume histogram.Results GTV on 95% isodose curve was 99.5%,98.2% and 87.4% in conforaml plan,conventional four-field plan and conventional two-field plan,respectively;PTV_1 and PTV_2 on 95% isodose with 97.8%,97.2%,94.8% and 95.8%,86.6%,73.7%.The volume of＞20 Gy dose of left lung accepted was 18.6%,17.2% and 32.3%,in conformal plan,conventional four-field plan and conventional two-field plan,respectively;the right lung received 20.5%,19.9% and 35.5%.Conclusions Conformal plan is the best in radiotherapy,as it can provide ideal dose distribution of irradiated target with adequate protection of the normal tissues.Conventional four-field plan,being easy to carry out,can replace the conformal plan in most situations.Conventional two-field has the most uneven dose distribution and largest lung volume irradiated.

Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)on the expression of integrin-linked kinase(ILK)in rat glomerular mesangial cells.Methods SD rat glomerular mesangial cells were separated and cultured.They were treated with 10-7 mol/L Ang Ⅱ in various time-point(0,12,24,48,72 h),and then cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells were treated 48 h with Ang Ⅱ in various concentration(0,10-11,10-9,10-7,10-5 mol/L).Then total protein expression in rat glomerular mesangial cells stimulated by Ang Ⅱ at every time-point and every concentration-point was extracted.The expression of ILK protein was measured by Western blot.Results 1.Expression of ILK protein in rat glomerular cells stimulated by Ang Ⅱ in various time-point,or various concentration was significantly increased.In group of 10-7 mol/L Ang Ⅱstimulated cells,the protein semiquantity of ILK at 0,12,24,48,72 h respectively was 0.18?0.02,0.37?0.07,0.90?0.10,1.73?0.12,and 1.72?0.13(F=166.78 P

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Ginkgo-Dipyidamolum on nerve symptom, sign and the nerve conduction velocity of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods60 patients with DPN were divided randomly into observation group and control group with 30 patients in each group. Routine therapy was conducted in control group. On the basis of routine therapy as control group, Ginkgo-Dipyidamolum was used by intravenous infusions in observation group for 4 weeks. The symptoms and physical sign of patients, and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) were observed.ResultsAfter treatment, clinical symptoms, signs and NCV in observation group improved and were significantly different from that before treatment ( P<0.01), also significantly different from control group ( P<0.01).ConclusionGinkgo-Dipyidamolum can improve the nerve symptoms and signs of patients with DPN, and enhance NCV.

To explore the new method of discriminating Cistanche deserticola, Cynomorium songaricum and Orobanche pycnostachya by using PCR amplification of specific alleles. 30 samples of the different C. deserticola, 21 samples of C. songaricum and O. pycnostachya were collected. The total DNA of the samples were extracted, the ITS sequences from C. deserticola, C. songaricum and O. pycnostachya were amplified by PCR and sequenced unidirectionally. These sequences were aligned by using ClustulW. Specific primer was designed according to the ITS sequences of specific alleles, and PCR reaction system was optimized. Additionally, compare with the identification of specific PCR method and DNA sequence analysis method. The result showed that the 331 bp identification band for C. deserticola and the adulterants not amplified bands by a single PCR reaction, which showed good identification ability to the three species. PCR amplification of specific alleles can be used to identify C. deserticola, C. songaricum and O. pycnostachya successfully.

Objective To evaluate the results of treating the persistent Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN) by injecting methylprednisolone into intra-renal capsule in children.Methods Twenty-two patients(aged from 6 to 13 years) with persistent HSPN were randomly divided into 3 groups.Group I was treated with prednisone;group Ⅱ was treated with high dosage methylprednisolone by venous injection,while group Ⅲ was treated by injecting methylprednisolone into intra-renal capsule.The 24 h urinary protein excretion,the levels of serum albumin and creatinine,or the blood cholesterole in children with persistent HSPN were detected at the beginning,4 weeks and 8 weeks of the study.The blood pressure,body weight were detected in the study duration.Results The values of 24 h urinary protein excretion were(2.35?1.09),(0.97?0.37),and(0.99?0.52) g(P

Two Avian leukosis viruses of subgroup J (ALV-J) were isolated from layers by inoculating the sample into chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells and by indirect fluorescent assay (IFA) with ALV-J specific monoclonal antibody JE-9. Sequence comparison indicated the gp85 identities were only in the ranges of 83.4%-87.3% compared with five international reference strains and 86.4%-89.6% compared with eight Chinese strains isolated from white meat-type chickens. The gp37 identities were in the range of 91.8-96.4% compared with the five international strains and 93.4-95.9% compared with the eight domestic strains. When compared with the above thirteen strains, two layers isolates were more close to the prototype HPRS-103 and had less deletion in 3'-Ter than those strains. All strains isolated from white meat-type chickens in China had a deletion in the "E" region of 3'-Ter except these two isolates, suggesting these two ALV-J isolates from layers have different evolution origins from other Chinese isolates from white meat-type chickens.

Objective To explore the relationship of proteinuria,immunopathogenesis and humoral immunity in children with Henoch-schonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN).Methods Serum IgG,IgA,IgM,C3 and C4 levels were detected with complete-automatic biochemistry analyzer in 47 children with HSPN and 18 heathy children,and the differences in the findings were compared among groups.The levels of IgG,IgA,IgM,C3 and C4 were compared among groups according to the count of proteinuria.The renal tissues were adopteded with immunity in the children with HSPN were taken for biospy examination,and the differences in immunopathalogy were compared among groups with immunof-luorescence assay.Results The IgG,IgA levels in children with HSPN were higher than those of heathy children,on the contrary,the IgM,C3 and C4 levels were lower than those of heathy children(Pa0.05),but the IgM level of the nephritic syndrome group were higher than that of other groups(Pa0.05).Conclusions There is severe disturbance of immunologic function in children with HSPN.There is no connections among serum IgG,IgA,IgM,C3 and C4 levels,proteinuria and renal immunopathlogy.
