RESUMO
Objective:To explore the correlation of the dose of capecitabine with the efficacy and cardiotoxicity in patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDX) model of mice with colorectal cancer.Methods:The fresh cancer tissues of 1 colorectal cancer patient were transplanted into the bilateral axillary subcutaneous of immunodeficient NOG mice to establish PDX model and passage stably. And then the morphology of tumor cells in primary generation and the second-generation tumor tissues was observed by using HE staining. The expression of tumor markers was detected by using immunohistochemistry method, and the model was evaluated. Mice were intragastrically infused with 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg capecitabine once a day, which were treated as low, middle and high dose groups respectively, 5 rats in each group; in the control group, 0.9% NaCl solution was perfused into the stomach; 14 d in total, use stop for 7 d, consecutively administered in this way. The body weight was measured every day and the tumor volume was measured every 3 days. After 100 days of observation, the mice were killed, and the tumor tissue was taken to measure the tumor weight and then the tumor volume, tumor volume inhibition rate and tumor inhibition rate were calculated. The morphology of tumor tissues was observed by using HE staining. The protein levels of anti-tumor effect indexes like rasP21, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTn-Ⅰ) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in serum of mice were detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:PDX model of mice with colorectal cancer was successfully constructed, and the histological characteristics of the primary tumor in the model were well preserved. During administration, 1 mouse died in the capecitabine high dose group; a slow down in tumor volume growth could be found with the increased dose of capecitabine. There was no statistically significant difference in body weight among 4 groups until all mice were killed ( P > 0.05). The tumor volume and tumor weight in the low, middle and high dose groups were lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05), and the tumor volume and tumor weight showed an obvious decrease with the increase in dose. The tumor volume inhibition rates of low, middle and high dose groups were 42.61%, 67.61% and 77.27%, respectively, and the tumor inhibition rates were 35.53%, 67.77% and 75.09%, respectively. The serum anti-tumor effect indexes rasP21, COX2 and PGE2 in the middle and high dose groups were decreased compared with those in the control group (all P < 0.05), while cTn-Ⅰ and BNP levels were increased compared with those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The established PDX model of mice with colorectal cancer can better retain the histological characteristics of the original tumor. After treatment of middle and high dose of capecitabine, the tumor inhibition effect is obvious, but the risk of myocardial damage should be noticed.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the changes of perioperative serum osteosclerosis protein (SOST) and Dickkopf-3 (Dkk-3) in elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:Thirty elderly patients who underwent reduction and fixation of femoral intertrochanteric fracture in Baoding Second Hospital from May 2017 to December 2017 were prospectively selected as the observation group; 30 healthy subjects in the same period were selected as the healthy control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of serum SOST and Dkk-3 at 1 d before operation and at 1, 3, 5 d after operation and compared with the same period of healthy physical examination(normal control group). Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between SOST and Dkk-3 and disease activity score (ASDAS) and spinal imaging evaluation score (mSASSS).Results:There was a positive correlation between Dkk-3 level and ASDAS score in the observation group ( r = 0.331, P = 0.012); the level of SOST was negatively correlated with the scores of ASDAS ( r = - 0.162, P = 0.017). The levels of serum SOST and Dkk-3 in the observation group were lower than those in the healthy control group: 1.29(1.00, 2.40) μg/L vs. 1.96(1.63, 2.65) μg/L, (6.11 ± 1.15) μg/L vs. (9.81 ± 1.76) μg/L, P<0.05. The levels of serum SOST and Dkk-3 in the observation group increased first and then decreased on the 1st, 3rd and 5th day after operation. The level of serum Dkk-3 increased to the highest level on the 3rd day after operation, and then decreased gradually, but it was still slightly higher than that before operation. The level of serum SOST in the observation group increased to the highest level 1st day after operation, and decreased at 3rd and 5th day after operation. The perioperative serum levels of SOST and Dkk-3 in the observation group were positively correlated, the correlation coefficient was the largest at 1 day after operation ( r = 0.571) and the lowest before operation ( r = 0.119). Conclusions:The perioperative serum levels of SOST and Dkk-3 in elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture increased first and then decreased. The change of serum SOST level is more sensitive and can be used as a sensitive index to reflect the change of osteogenic ability.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of brazilin on bladder cancer cells and its mechanism.Methods:Chemically synthesized brazilin was synthesized by chemical synthesis. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to detect the inhibitory effect of synthetic brazilin on bladder cancer cells T24 and BIU87. Proteomic technique was used to detect the effect of brazilin on the level of protein in both cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot methods were used to verify the effects of brazilin on the expression of protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1) of both cells at gene and protein level.Results:MTT method showed that brazilin significantly inhibited the proliferation of bladder cancer cells T24 and BIU87, and its half inhibitory concentration ( IC50) of T24 cell and BIU87 cell was 9.9 μg/ml and 5.1 μg/ml,respectively. Proteomic results showed that brazilin could regulate the protein expression of PRC1 in both cells, which was verified by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Conclusion:Brazilin suppresses bladder cancer cell growth possibly by downregulating PRC1.
RESUMO
Objective:To establish a patient-derived xenotransplantation (PDX) animal model of gastric cancer, and observe the anti-cancer effect of chemotherapeutic drugs on this model.Methods:Human gastric cancer tissues were inoculated into the subcutaneous tissues of both axillaries of NOG mice and were subcultured for 3 generations. The tumor tissues of the third-generation NOG mice were selected and inoculated into the subcutaneous tissues of left axillary of 21 severe combined immunodeficiency-non-obese diabetes mellitus (SCID-NOD) mice to establish PDX mouse model of gastric cancer. The inoculated mice were divided into control group (mice received only 0.9% sodium chloride injection), oxaliplatin group, cisplatin group, paclitaxel group, fluorouracil group, tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil porassium capsules group and capecitabine group, with 3 mice in each group, and the corresponding drugs were given. The mice survival status, tumor volume and tumor weight at different times were recorded. Mice were sacrificed on the 61st day of administration, and the tumor inhibition effects of 6 kinds of chemotherapy drugs on the PDX model of gastric cancer were evaluated.Results:After being subcultured for 3 generations, the stability of tumor transmission in PDX animal model of gastric cancer was improved, and the homogeneity of tumor growth was good at the initial stage. At the early stage of administration, the model was more sensitive to oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and capecitabine, and the tumor growth inhibition (TGI) values on the 31st day were 63.37%, 52.11% and 78.48%, at the end of administration, the model had the best sensitivity to capecitabine with a TGI value of 59.22% and a tumor inhibition rate of 58.65% on the 61st day. The TGI curve after administration showed that paclitaxel had no obvious anti-tumor effect, cisplatin had the worst anti-tumor effect, and the model had poor tolerance to tegafur, gimeracil and oteracil porassium capsules.Conclusion:The PDX animal model of gastric cancer is successfully established, and capecitabine has the best tumor suppressive effect on this model.

Objective:To investigate the inhibiting effect of Sufuning Lotion (SFN) on bladder carcinoma T24 cells.Methods:Trypan blue exclusion test was performed to observe the killing effect of 2 mg/ml SFN at different time points (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 min) on human bladder carcinoma T24 cells; the inhibiting effect of SFN with different concentrations (8.0, 12.0, 18.0, 27.0, 40.5 μg/ml) for 48 h on proliferation of T24 cells was assessed by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The half inhibitory concentration ( IC50) was identified. T24 cells were treated with IC50 SFN for 24, 48, 72 h, and then the change of proliferation inhibition rate of T24 cells was detected. The nude mice subcutaneous model (30 mice) and intraperitoneal tumor xenograft model (30 mice) were prepared according to T24 cells inoculated method. After inoculation for 24 h, both animal models were divided into 5 groups with 6 animals in each group based on the random number method, including the control group (0.9% NaCl solution), the SFN 200 mg/kg group, the SFN 300 mg/kg group, the SFN 400 mg/kg group and the mitomycin group, and then the control group and three SFN groups were intraperitoneally injected for 6 d, while the mitomycin 1 mg/kg group was injected with 1 mg/kg mitomycin every 5 d for once, 2 times in total. The transplantable tumor volume of subcutaneous tumor xenograft model was measured per week and the mice were sacrificed after 4 weeks. Tumor tissues were taken out to measure the tumor weight and tumor growth inhibition ratio was also evaluated. The survival time of nude mice in intraperitoneal tumor xenograft model was recorded so as to calculate the life extension rate. Results:Trypan blue exclusion test showed that after the function of 2 mg/ml SFN for 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 min, the cell death rate was (17.83±1.56)%, (48.95±1.34)%, (67.46±1.44)%, (75.48±2.12)%, (89.41±1.35)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 1 213.264, P < 0.01). MTT assay showed that SFN inhibited the proliferation of T24 cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner, and the IC50 of cell proliferation at 48 h was (14.36±0.35) μg/ml. After the function of 14.36 μg/ml SFN for 24, 48, 72 h, the proliferation inhibitory rate of T24 cells was (39.5±0.9)%, (50.6±0.7)%, (71.5±1.0)%, respectively, and differences was statistically significant ( F = 1 044.206, P < 0.01). After the nude mice was inoculated with T24 cells for 4 weeks, the tumor volume and tumor weight in the SFN 200 mg/kg group, the SFN 300 mg/kg group, the SFN 400 mg/kg group and the mitomycin group were lower than those in the control group [the tumor volume: (0.925±0.136) cm 3, (0.833±0.171) cm 3, (0.652±0.117) cm 3, (0.482± 0.120) cm 3 vs. (1.231±0.210) cm 3, respectively; the tumor weight: (1.56±0.20) g, (1.42±0.21) g, (1.19±0.22) g, (0.97±0.16) g vs. (1.98±0.30) g], and differences were statistically significant ( F = 20.153, P < 0.01; F = 17.325, P < 0.01); there were no significant differences in the tumor volume and weight between the SFN 400 mg/kg group and the mitomycin group ( t = 1.898, P = 0.069; t = 1.739, P = 0.094), the inhibition rate of subcutaneous tumor xenograft model was 20.94%, 28.28%, 39.66%, 51.14%, respectively in the SFN 200 mg/kg group, the SFN 300 mg/kg group, the SFN 400 mg/kg group and the mitomycin group. The survival time of intraperitoneal nude mice in the SFN groups and the mitomycin group was prolonged compared with that in the control group [(32.7±3.2) d, (34.0±4.5) d, (34.3±2.3) d, (35.3±2.0) d vs. (21.7±4.8) d], and there was a statistically significant difference ( F = 15.179, P < 0.01), the life extension ratio was 50.76%, 56.90%, 58.42%, 63.04%, respectively.

Methods According to the random number table method, the mice were divided into subcutaneous tumor-bearing group and abdominal cavity tumor-bearing group, with 15 mice in each group. The mice in the two groups were further divided into three subgroups: model group, mitomycin group, mitomycin+lidocaine group, with 5 mice in each subgroup. The day before the intraperitoneal injection, the density of H22 cells obtained from peritoneal culture of one mouse was adjusted to 5 ×106/ml. Subcutaneous tumor-bearing group mice were injected H22 cells into the right armpit, and abdominal cavity tumor-bearing group mice were injected H22 cells into the abdominal cavity, 0.2 ml per mouse. Intraperitoneal injection was given after inoculation for 24 h (the experiment day 1), followed by intraperitoneal injection on day 5 and 9. Univariate ANOVA analysis and t test were used to analyze the solid tumor weight and tumor inhibition rate on the 11th day of subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice, and the survival time and life extension rate within 60 days of abdominal cavity tumor-bearing mice. Results The solid tumor weight of subcutaneous tumor-bearing mice model group, mitomycin group and mitomycin + lidocaine group were (3.77 ±1.02) g, (1.67 ±0.28) g, (0.74 ±0.19) g, respectively, and the differences in the three groups were statistically different (F = 31.753, P < 0.01); compared with the subcutaneous model group, the subcutaneous solid tumor weights of mitomycin group and mitomycin +lidocaine group were decreased and the differences were both statistically different (t=2.10, P<0.01; t=3.04, P<0.01); the subcutaneous solid tumor weight of mitomycin+lidocaine group was lower than that of mitomycin group (t= 0.93, P= 0.034). The tumor inhibition rate of mitomycin group and mitomycin +lidocaine group reached 55.70% and 80.37% respectively. The survival time of abdominal cavity tumor-bearing mice in model group, mitomycin group and mitomycin + lidocaine group was (16.80±0.84) d, (28.80± 6.30) d, (40.40±12.86) d, respectively, and the differences in the three groups were statistically different (F=10.155, P=0.003); compared with the abdominal cavity tumor-bearing mice model group, the survival time of mice in mitomycin group and mitomycin + lidocaine group was prolonged (t= 12.00, P= 0.041; t= 23.60, P= 0.001), and it was found that survival time in mitomycin + lidocaine group was longer than that in mitomycin group (t=11.60, P=0.047). The life extension rate of mitomycin group and mitomycin+lidocaine group reached 71.43% and 140.48% respectively. Conclusion Lidocaine can increase the sensitization of mitomycin on hepatoma H22-bearing mice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety of rigid gas permeable contact lens (RGPCL) wearing for over 5 years in different degrees of keratoconus eyes.Methods A retrospective case study was performed.The clinical data of 217 eyes with different degree of keratoconus from 126 keratoconus patients who fitted with RGPCL in Beijing Tongren Hospital from 2000-2010 over 5 years were analyzed.The eyes were divided into mild keratoconus group (Ks≤45.0 D),moderate keratoconus group (45.0 D< Ks < 52.0 D) and severe keratoconus group (Ks ≥52.0 D) according to the severity.Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA,LogMAR),spectacle corrected visual acuity (SCVA) and RGP corrected visual acuity (RGPVA) was examined before RGPCL wearing and the end of followingup after RGPCL wearing.The refraction,corneal curvature,corneal astigmatism were measured with auto-refractomer/keratometer and keratoconus screening analysis system of computer-assisted corneal topography.Comparisons of the changes of corrected visual acuity and corneal parameters were assessed.Results The RGPVA was 0.09±0.17,0.05±0.07 and 0.07 ±0.07 in the mild,moderate and severe keratoconus group,respectively,showing a significant difference among the three groups (F=0.522,P=0.594);The △Ks was (2.25±5.42),(0.26±3.44) and (-4.52±3.44)D,and △Kf was (2.06±4.98),(1.02±3.41) and (-2.03±5.05)D,and the change value of corneal astigmatism was (0.19±2.87),(-0.78±2.84) and (-2.44±3.77)D in the mild,moderate and severe keratoconus group(all at P< 0.05),respectively,with the minimum amount of change in the severe keratoconus group.The variation of differential sector index (△DSI) was-0.33 ± 1.64,0.14±3.01 and-2.11 ±4.28;the variation of center/ surround index (△CSI) was-0.41 ± 1.07,0.03±2.22 and-2.49±4.15;the variation of standard deviation of power (△SDP) was-0.43 ±0.64,-0.02 ±0.89 and-1.67 ± 1.68;the variation of keratoconus prediction index (△KPI)was 0.00±0.07,0.03±0.09 and-0.05±0.11 in the mild,moderate and severe keratoconus group,respectively,and the reduced amount in above parameters was much more in the severe keratoconus group than that in the mild and moderate keratoconus group (all at P<0.01).Mild conjunctivitis and corneal affection occurred in 12 eyes (5.5%)during the follow-up.Conclusions Long-term wearing RGPCL can improve the visual acuity and slow the tendency of corneal curvature increase in keratoconus eyes,and this procedure is safe and effective for the correction of different degree of keratoconus.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the robot - assisted system YunSRobot for remote manipulation endoscopy. Methods When the master of YunSRobot was installed in the gastroenterology office in Chinese PLA General Hospital, the robot slave and upper gastrointestinal simulation model (Takahashi Lm103,Japan) were installed at the same time in the State Key Laboratory of Robotics, Shenyang Institute of Automation. Three physicians were trained to operate the master robotics and performed gastroscopy on the simulation model based on network cloud. Each physician performed 3 procedures of oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) by YunSRobot using traditional manual endoscopy, on-site operating mode, and remote manipulation mode, respectively. The operating time, lumenal anatomic exposure,man-machine interaction and other parameters were recorded. Results The number of standard pictures obtained by traditional manual endoscopy group, on-site operating group and remote manipulation group were 39.9±0.3, 39.8±0.4, 39.9±0.3, respectively. The images of all five lesions could be obtained by each operation. The operating time in the duodenum of remote group was longer than that of on-site group, with average time (78.2±16.0)s vs. (68.9±15.8)s (P=0.021) respectively. As to the operating time on other parts or total time, all three groups were comparable. Although there was a mean delay of (572.1±48.5) ms in remote operation group, the operation was still smooth. However, compared with on-site group, the percentage of clear view time in the duodenum was significantly shortened in remote group: [(77.8±8.2)% vs. (83.9 ± 6.4)% , P=0.024]. Statistically significant difference was detected in percentage of clear view time neither in other sites, nor was in the total operating time between two groups. The operating time in each part of remote group was obviously longer than that of manual group as followings, pharyngeal (27.3±4.2) s vs. (9.2±1.3)s (P<0.001), esophageal (29.7±6.4)s vs. (19.3±1.6)s (P=0.004), stomach (56.7±17.0)s vs. (40.3±7.0)s (P=0.003), pylorus (20.2±5.5)s vs. (9.3±1.3)s (P<0.001), duodenum (78.2±16.0)s vs. (29.3±5.6)s (P<0.001). Thus the total operating time was also longer in remote group as (559.0±87.2)s vs. (253.1±16.6)s (P<0.001). The respective time in pharynx, esophagus, stomach, pylorus, duodenum, or the overall time was all longer in remote group than that in manual group. Conclusions The soft endoscopy robot YunSRobot has satisfactory safety and stability. Remote upper gastrointestinal endoscopy can be completed based on common network and an endoscope simulation model with smooth operation. The inspection time by YunSRobot robot per part and the overall time are longer than those of manual operation on site, still, remote operating time meets the standard of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
RESUMO
Objective To establish a method for preparing orthotropic transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma in mice. Methods According to the liver detailed anatomical structure of the mouse, 50 μl mouse ascites containing 1 ×106 and 5 ×105 mouse hematoma H22 cells was input to liver in 12 Kunming mice through percutaneous intraperitoneal injection by syringe, respectively, to establish orthotopic transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma model. The growth status of mice was observed, and the pathological changes of liver and tumor metastasis tissues were detected. The tumor formation and metastasis were analyzed. Results The tumor formation rate was 100% (12/12) by direct injection of mouse hematoma H22 cells in 2 groups. The inoculated mice started to appear ascites at the 6th day, and all mice produced ascites at the 10th day. The survival time was (16.17 ±3.07) d and (18.08 ±3.34) d in 1 ×106 group and 5 ×105 group, respectively. Some mice emerged tumor metastasis in kidney, intestine, spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes. Conclusion The method of direct injection could establish orthotropic transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma model in mice, which can be used for antitumor drug research.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Intravertebral bone graft to rebuild anterior and middle column structure and to recover vertebral morphology has been re-understood, and a suitable bone graft material can promote bone healing and be conducive to rebuild the long-term stability of the spine. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the differences in clinical efficacy of three kinds of bone graft materials through unilateral pedicle to treat thoracolumbar burst fractures. METHODS:Total y 102 thoracolumbar burst fracture patients were randomized into three groups:autologous bone, autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone and al ogeneic bone were implanted via the unilateral pedicle, respectively, in the three groups. We measured the percentage of height of the anterior edge of vertebral body and Cobb angle by X-Ray before and after bone grafting, and used CT to observe bone graft healing, and used Mimics to measure the defect area of vertebral body at the last fol ow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 102 patients were fol owed-up for 24-36 months. The percentage of height of the anterior edge of vertebral body and Cobb angle of three groups were restored after bone grafting (P<0.05), but there was no difference in the percentage of height of the anterior edge of vertebral body of three groups at different time point after bone grafting. The Cobb angle in the al ogeneic bone group was bigger than that in the autologous bone group and autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone group at 9, 12 and 24 months after bone grafting (P<0.05). The fracture healing rate of the al ogeneic bone group at different time points was lower than that of the autologous bone group and autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone group (P<0.05), and the area of bone defect was bigger than that in the autologous bone group and autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone group (P<0.05). These findings indicate that these three bone graft materials can rebuild the vertebral body via the unilateral pedicle to treat thoracolumbar burst fracture, reduce the loss of vertebral height and Cobb angle, and decrease defect area of the vertebral body. The clinical efficacy of autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone to heal bone graft and reduce bone defect is similar to autologous bone, both of which are better than al ogeneic bone alone.

As the infrared image gray distribution of nystagmus video is uneven, the accuracy of pupil edge detection could not be high enough. A pupil location method based on morphology and Canny algorithm was presented in this paper. Some meaningless regions were removed by morphology, and target was smoothed. The connected regions were separated, and the largest connected region-pupil was found. Then the pupil edges were extracted by the designed Canny edge detection algorithm. The coordinates of pupil for each frame images were calculated and the pupil movement tracking was fitted. Finally, desired clinical diagnostic information would be obtained from the tracking. Experimental results showed that the method could be adapted to different gray values for different objects, and could accurately detect the edge of the pupil. As the pupil was tracked well, the experimental results could reflect the eye movement. The method provides a practical way for the pupil location of existing domestic researches in video-nystagmograph.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasonic quantitative method in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods Ultrasonography was performed in 186 CHB patients who underwent liver biopsies. Fifteen indices including liver capsule thickness and fourteen texture parameters of gray level co-occurrence matrix were extracted from standard sonograms and compared with fibrosis stages by histopathology. The status of liver fibrosis was divided into five stages from S0 to S4 by histopathology based on the disease severity. ANOVA and Spearman correlation analysis were applied to analyze the differences and relationships between these indices and pathological stage, respectively. Then discriminant analysis models were established based on the indices for quantitative diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Results Among the fifteen indices, including liver capsule thickness, only the variance (F=0. 55, r=0. 06; both P>0. 05), sum average (F=0.61, both r=0.05 ; P>0.05), sum entropy (F=1.68, r=0.09; both P≥0.05) and entropy (F=1.39,r=0.12; both P>0.05) were not significantly associated with the stages and not manifested linear correlation. Using biopsy results as gold standard, the correct rank rate of discriminant analysis model analysis in the patients staged from S0 to S4 were 80. 0%, 64. 9%, 61.3%, 74. 1% and 80.6 %, respectively. There were 73.1% of cross-validated cases who were accurately classified by the model analysis. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in patients with stage ≥ 1 were 97. 6%,80.0% and 91.9%, respectively; those in patients with stage≥2 were 92.1%, 89.7% and 90.9%,respectively; those in patients with stage≥3 were 94.8%, 96.1% and 95.7%; and those in patients with stage 4 were 80. 6%, 97.4 % and 94.6%, respectively. When considered S0 as no fibrosis, S1 as mild fibrosis, S2 and S3 as moderate to severe fibrosis and S4 as early cirrhosis, the consistence rates between discriminant analysis model and biopsy result were 81.7%, 78. 4%, 56. 9% and 90.3%,respectively. There were 74.7% of cross-validated cases who were correctly classified. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the models for determining the fibrosis severity in patients≥mild fibrosis were 97.6%, 81.7% and 92.5%, respectively; those in patients ≥ moderate to severe fibrosis were 83. 1%, 94.8% and 89.2%, respectively; those in patients with early cirrhosis were 90.3%, 93.5% and 93.0%, respectively. Conclusion As a novel and noninvasive method, ultrasonic texture analysis could quantitatively determine liver fibrosis in CHB patients and is worthy of further investigation.

Objective To compare the inhibitory effects to mice ascitic hepatoma (HepA) among hematoxylin,mitomycin,cisplatin,hydroxycamptothecine and other medicine in celiac chemotherapeutic route,probing into the credibility of hematoxylin in celiac chemotherapy.Methods Mice ascitic HepA model was set up by celiac inoculation of HepA strains.24 h after the inoculation,intraperitoneal administration was done,then raising the mice as routine.Their body weights were measured regularly,living quality observed,mean survival times compared among these groups.Having repeated the above experiment three tines,T/C values obtained in the three experiments were compared one another.Results The awerage survival time of mice of control group (inoculated but no medicine used) was 15.99-16.33 d; that of hematoxylin group was 36.35-39.81 d; that of mitomycin gro.up was 35.77-40.06 d; that of hydroxycamptothecine survived 20.79-38.47 d; and that of cisplatin group was 32.98-41.89 d.A comprehensive comparison showed that mitomycin group and hematoxylin group had better effects.Conclusion Hematoxylin in celiac chemotherapy has an outstanding effect to the mice's transplanted HepA,no significant difference with mitomycin.However,hydroxycamptothecine and cisplatin are not good enough.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the immunological effect of tumor cell vaccines to mouse hepatoma A(HepA) treated by Haematoxylin. Methods HepA cell was treated by 0.1% Haematoxylin and made into three vaccines: HepA vaccine with complete Freund' s adjuvant, HepA vaccine with incomplete Freund' s adjuvant; and HepA vaccine without any adjuvants. Five times of immunization were given the grouped mice with the above three vaccines, then active HepA cells (1×105 for each mouse) were inoculated by intraperitoneal injection to attack them; reckoning the mean survival time (MST) of the grouped mice, comparing the immunoprotective action of the three vaccines to the tmnor-bearing mice. Those mice only receiving normal saline (equal volume to the vaccine) were as a control group. Results MST of control group was (23.30±1.24) day; MST of mice receiving H22 vaccine with complete adjuvant was (43.90±15.20) day (P<0.02); MST of mice receiving H22 vaccine with incomplete adjuvant was (39.60±13.77) day (P<0.05); and MST of mice receiving HepA vaccine without any adjuvant was (38.40±12.54) day (P<0.05); As compared with the control group, the three treated groups showed a life-lengthening rate (LLR) 88.41%, 69.96 % and 64.81% respectively. Conclusion The vaccines treated by Haematoxylin give a marked immunoprotective action to those tumor-bearing mice. The HepA vaccine' s immunological effect is increased by the Freund' s adjuvant (complete or incomplete).
RESUMO
Objective Exploration of TSH, FT3, FT4 changes in critical condition prior to death.Methods 84 patients that were anti-tumor therapy acceptable and not associated with the treatment of thyroid disease in patients with terminal tumors. Age from 24 to 85-year-old, male 56, female 28. The use of SELDI technology (surface-enhanced laser description / ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry protein chip technology) checks to M/Z for the 11 100 + H~11 900 + H peak of the cluster, divided into the positive group for critically ill patients with early warning protein (LGT) and the negative group for it. All patients were given TSH, FT3, FT4 inspection. The results were statistically analyzed. Results TSH, FT3, FT4 in the LGT positive group was significantly lower than in the negative LGT group. There was no correlation between TSH,FT3 and FT4 in the LGT positive group;In the negative LGT group FT3 and FT4 had a positive correlation,and FT3 and TSH no relevance. Conclusion Thyroid function is normal in the stage of cancer patients stable condition. Possible pituitary-hypothyroidism may occur as the disease advances to the end or before death.This may be an important factor causing the acceleration to the death of the patients. However, the cause and effect between this phenomenon and the early warning of protein fingerprint group(LGT) is still not clear. In critical condition checking thyroid function and render supplementary amount of thyroid hormone in accordance with the checking results may be beneficial.

RESUMO
Self-adaptive interference canceller based on LMS algorithm is an excellent filter which can adjust system parameter automatically. With good robustness, it can be applied to every signal abstraction and data treatment, especially bioelectric signals. By this algorithm, both the power frequency interference and baseline shift, for example, the ones of ECG signals, can be successfully eliminated.
