Recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage is a very serious cerebrovascular disease.Its incidence has shown a clear upward trend, and both disability and mortality have increased significantly compared to the first intracerebral hemorrhage. This article reviews the clinical classification, characteristics, risk factors, pathogenesis, and prognosis of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the filtration roles of microporous membranes with different pore sizes in the tumor cells with different diameters,and effects on the filtered cells.Methods Three kinds of tumor cells with different cell diameters and same concentrations,including Jurkat,K562 and A549,were filtered by the polycarbonate microporous membranes with different pore sizes such as 1,3,5,8 and 10 μm,respectively,and their filtration rates were determined.The diameters of three kinds of tumor cells before and after filtration,and the fixed K562 cells with formaldehyde,were measured by an optical microscope.The activity of the filtered K562 cells were detected by the trypan blue staining.After the filtered K562 cells were re-cultured,their proliferation activity was analyzed by the growth curve.Results Jurkat,K562 and A549 cells couldn't pass the filter membrane with 1 μm of pore size.The filtration rates of three kinds of tumor cells passing the fliter membranes with 3 μm,5 μm,8 μm and 10 μm of pore sizes increased in turn.The survival rate of K562 cells filtered by 3 μm of pore size of membrane was 92.0％,and the proliferation acticity of re-cultured K562 cells was still strong.The filtration rate of the fixed K562 cells with formaldehyde was significantly decreased,and the average diameter of the filtered cells had no obvious change.Conclusion The living cells are able to pass the membranes with the pore sizes less than their diameters.The living cells passed the filter membranes may still maintain their growth and proliferation activity.However,the fixation of formaldehyde may significantly reduce the number of cells passed the membrane.

Objective To explore the efficacy of minimally invasive surgery in elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Clinical data of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage patients who were older than 65 years were retrospectively analyzed,and they were divided into two groups by different surgical methods.Regular group:from March 2010 to February 2011,123 cases of conventional bone window surgery.Minimally invasive group:from March 2011 to February 2012,136 cases of minimally invasive surgery.One month after surgery,two groups of patients with the scores of Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) to determine the prognosis.Results The better prognosis rate in minimally invasive group was higher than that in regular group [39.7％(54/136) vs.29.3％(36/123)],but there was no significant difference (P ＞0.05).The incidence rate of death in minimally invasive group was significantly lower than that in regular group [17.6％ (24/136) vs.28.5％ (35/123)],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage,the minimally invasive surgery can significantly improve the prognosis.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the efficacy of EP regimen combined with split-course hyperfractionated accelerated irradiation for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

METHODSThe treatment was composed of 3 cycles of combined chemoradiotherapy at 4-week intervals. Chemotherapy with cisplatin ( 30 mg/m²) and etoposide (60 mg/m²) was administrated intravenously on days 1-3, followed by radiotherapy on days 4-8. A course of radiotherapy consisted of 1.5 Gy per fraction, twice a day (3 Gy per day) for 5 consecutive days, for a total dose of 15 Gy. In the third cycle, additional irradiotherapy consisted of 2 Gy once a day was performed on days 11-15, for a total dose up to 55 Gy during 10 weeks. After three cycles, patients were given 2 additional cycles of chemotherapy with MVP regimen.

RESULTSOf the 43 patients, 12 had a complete remission and 22 a partial response, resulting in an overall response rate of 79.1%. Of the 152 chemotherapeutic cycles administrated, there were 40 during which grade III-IV toxicities occurred, mainly consisting of leukopenia and vomiting. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 66.7% and 57.2%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSEP regimen combined with split-course hyperfractionated accelerated irradiation is effective and well tolerated for advanced locally non-small celll lung cancer. It should be investigated further.

The molecular mechanism underlying muscular atrophy and gravisensing during spaceflight is still unknown. The major effects of spaceflight on body-wall muscles of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) in the structures and functions wore examined, and five important muscle-related genes and three proteins were studied after nearly 15-day spaceflight. The changes for the wall-muscles were observed in situ. Decreased muscle fiber size was observed with myosin immunofluorescence and duller dense-body staining in flight samples, which suggested that muscular atrophy had happened during spaceflight. However, F-actin staining showed no differences between the spaceflight group and ground control group. Otherwise, after returning to the earth the C eleganu displayed reduced rate of movement with a lower ratio (height/width) in crawl trace wave, which indicated a functional defect. These results demonstrated that C. elegans muscular development was changed in response to microgravity, and changes also occurred at the level of gene transcription and protein translation. Expression of dys-I increased significantly in body-wall muscles, while hlh-1, myo-3, uric-54 and eg1-19 RNA levels decreased after spaceflight. Dystrophin (encoded by dys-1) is one of important components in dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC). Increased dys-I expression after flight implied that the muscular cell would accept more gravity signals by DGC in mierogravity in order to keep mechanical balance within the cells. It is concluded that DGC was involved into the mechanical transduction in body-wall muscles of C. elegans when gravity varied, which potentially played a vital role in gravisensing. The changes ofhlh-l, myo-3, tmc-54 and egl-19 suggested that they had the effects of promoting microgravity-induced muscular atrophy in strcture and function aspects. Result of Western blotting showed that the level of myosin A in spaceflight group decreased, further confirmed that atrophy happened during flight.

The direct and indirect revascularization can increase cerebral blood flow and reduce the occurrence of cerebral ischemia and cerebral hemorrhage. This article reviews the pathophysiological basis of its surgical treatment, surgical timing, indications, surgical treatment methods and efficacy.

Course paper grading often involves subjective factors. Teachers may introduce biases into the grading due to their preferences for certain topics, resulting in inaccurate grading results that fail to reflect the true abilities of students. Taking the grading results of the "Clinical Pharmacology" course as an example, this article investigates the analytical method for detecting topic bias in the course paper grading. A comparative analysis was performed on the differences in the scores between different topics graded by the same teacher and between the same topic graded by different teachers by calculating the vertical bias factor and the horizontal bias factor, and a scientific and feasible analytical method was established. This method can help teachers quickly discover biases in their course paper grading, thereby making the grading more objective and accurate.
