Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted this study to assess the clinical application of obestatin and arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels in cases of acute renal failure (ARF) and acute heart failure (AHF). PATIENTS AND METHODS 30 cases of ARF, 30 cases of AHF, 30 cases of ARF complicated with AHF, and 30 cases of healthy subjects (control group) were successively selected. An ELISA test was conducted to detect levels of obestatin and AVP. Routine biochemistry testing was applied to detect the levels of serum creatinine and calculate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Electrochemiluminescence double antibody sandwich fluorescence immune testing was applied to detect NT-proBNP and color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic apparatus was applied to detect renal arterial resistive index (RI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The 30-day mortality was documented. RESULTS Compared to other groups, the group of patients suffering from ARF complicated with AHF had significantly higher levels of obestatin and AVP, and significantly higher levels of serum creatinine, NT-proBNP and RI; however, their GFR and LVEF levels were the lowest. Differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Levels of obestatin and AVP are positively correlated with serum creatinine, NT-proBNP and RI levels, but negatively correlated with GFR and LVEF levels. The mortality rate of the group suffering from ARF complicated with AHF was markedly increased (p = 0.035). The obestatin and AVP levels of the death group were significantly higher than that of the survival group. However, the comparison among levels of serum creatinine, GFR, NT-proBNP, RI and LVEF revealed no statistical significance (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Obestatin and AVP levels were closely related to the severity of ARF and AHF and survival prognosis, which could be a sensitive indicator for diagnoses and prognoses.

Abstract
Background The optimal chemotherapy regimen administered currently with radiation in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. A multicenter phase III trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of concurrent thoracic radiation therapy with either etoposide/cisplatin (EP) or carboplatin/paclitaxel (PC) in patients with stage III NSCLC. Patients and methods Patients were randomly received 60-66 Gy of thoracic radiation therapy concurrent with either etoposide 50 mg/m2 on days 1-5 and cisplatin 50 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 4 weeks for two cycles (EP arm), or paclitaxel 45 mg/m2 and carboplatin (AUC 2) on day 1 weekly (PC arm). The primary end point was overall survival (OS). The study was designed with 80% power to detect a 17% superiority in 3-year OS with a type I error rate of 0.05. Results A total of 200 patients were randomized and 191 patients were treated (95 in the EP arm and 96 in the PC arm). With a median follow-up time of 73 months, the 3-year OS was significantly higher in the EP arm than that of the PC arm. The estimated difference was 15.0% (95% CI 2.0%-28.0%) and P value of 0.024. Median survival times were 23.3 months in the EP arm and 20.7 months in the PC arm (log-rank test P = 0.095, HR 0.76, 95%CI 0.55-1.05). The incidence of Grade ≥2 radiation pneumonitis was higher in the PC arm (33.3% versus 18.9%, P = 0.036), while the incidence of Grade ≥3 esophagitis was higher in the EP arm (20.0% versus 6.3%, P = 0.009). Conclusion EP might be superior to weekly PC in terms of OS in the setting of concurrent chemoradiation for unresectable stage III NSCLC. Trial registration ID NCT01494558.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We studied the diagnostic value of CK-MB and troponin (cTnI) in uremia with acute left ventricular failure patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 130 uremia patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and divided them into two groups: (i) the observation group with patients suffering from acute left ventricular failure (n=30) and (ii) the control group which contained cases without acute left ventricular failure (n=100). We verified CK-MB, cTnI, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, pro-BNP and LVEF levels at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 d and 14 d after the attack and carried out 1-year follow-up to compare total mortality and cardiogenic mortality. RESULTS Our results showed that CK-MB and cTnI levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). CK-MB and cTnI in the observation group increased into platform stage slowly with no peak or downtrend. They were in a linear pattern in the control group. Comparison of SCr and BUN in two groups at different time points produced no statistically significant differences (p>0.05). Pro-BNP levels in the hospital as well as 1 month, 6 months and 12 months follow-ups were higher than those in the control group, and differences were of statistical significant (p<0.05). While in hospital LVEF level in the observation group was higher than that in the other group, differences regarding 1 month, 6 months and 12 months follow-up between two groups had no statistical significance (p>0.05). Total mortality and cardiogenic mortality in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS CK-MB, cTnI, SCr, BUN, pro-BNP and LVEF were independent risk factors for total mortality while CK-MB, cTnI and pro-BNP were independent risk factors for cardiogenic mortality.

Abstract
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, a number of patients present intolerance to chemoradiotherapy because of advanced age or malnutrition. Erlotinib, an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase, was shown to be effective in treating esophageal carcinoma, with mild toxicities. In this pilot study, we investigated the safety and efficacy of concurrent erlotinib and radiotherapy as an alternative treatment modality for esophageal carcinoma patients who are intolerant to chemoradiotherapy. Pathologically diagnosed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who could not tolerate concurrent chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. All patients were treated with concurrent erlotinib and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Erlotinib was given orally for 60 days (150 mg per day). Radiotherapy (total dose, 60 Gy) was given at dosages of 2 Gy for a total of 30 times. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to assess epidermal growth factor receptor expression. Toxicities were evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 3.0). The overall survival, progression-free survival, and local-regional relapse-free survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Between December 2007 and March 2011, 18 patients were enrolled. The median age was 71.5 years. Primary disease was stages II, III, and IV in 3, 8, and 4 patients, respectively. There were three patients with recurrent disease after radical surgery. The median follow-up time was 17.2 months. Grade 3 esophagitis and skin rash were observed in five (27.8%) and two (11.1%) patients, respectively. Radiation pneumonitis of grades 2 and 5 was observed in one patient each. No grade 3/4 impaired liver function or hematological toxicity was observed. At 1 month after radiotherapy, two (11.1%) patients achieved complete response, 11 (61.1%) patients achieved partial response, and 5 (27.8%) patients had stable disease. The median time of overall survival and progression-free survival was 21.1 and 12 months, respectively. Two-year overall survival, progression-free survival, and local-regional relapse-free survival were 44.4%, 38.9%, and 66.7%, respectively. Five of six patients examined for epidermal growth factor receptor had high expression levels (3+). The relationship between epidermal growth factor receptor expression and treatment outcomes could not be concluded. For esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who cannot tolerate chemoradiotherapy, concurrent erlotinib and radiotherapy are tolerable and effective. Valuable markers to predict the effect of erlotinib should be exploited in future studies.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effects of homocysteine lowering intervention on the risk of cardiocerebrovascular events and all-cause mortality in randomised controlled trials among people with preexisting cardiocerebrovascular or renal disease. METHODS Studies were retrieved by searching MEDLINE and OVID (from January 1966 to December 2008) using the following keywords: homocysteine, hyperhomocysteinaemia, cardiovascular disease, coronary disease, cerebrovascular disease, B vitamins, folic acid, randomised controlled trial. References of all retrieved articles were also searched. Randomised controlled trials which compared folic acid or plus B vitamins supplementation with either placebo or usual care were evaluated with cardiocerebrovascular disease events or all-cause mortality reported as an end-point. Data on study design, characteristics of participants, changes in homocysteine levels, and cardiocerebrovascular events and all-cause mortality were independently abstracted by two investigators using a standardised protocol. RESULTS Seventeen trials involving 39,107 patients with preexisting cardiocerebrovascular or renal disease were included. Results of meta-analyses showed that no significant differences were identified between the intervention group and the control group. The overall relative risks (95% confidence intervals) of outcomes for patients treated with folic acid or plus B vitamins supplementation compared with controls were 1.01 (0.97-1.05) for cardiovascular events, 1.01 (0.94-1.07) for coronary heart disease, 0.94 (0.85-1.04) for stroke and 1.00 (0.95-1.05) for all-cause mortality. In the exclusion of low-quality trials and seven trials in grain fortification countries respectively, sensitivity analyses did not change the overall results. CONCLUSION There is no sufficient evidence to show that homocysteine lowering intervention can reduce the risk of cardiocerebrovascular diseases or all-cause mortality among people with preexisting vascular disease. Folic acid supplementation should not be recommended for the secondary prevention of cardiocerebrovascular diseases. More evidence from large-scale randomised controlled trials is needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Human facial transplantation, a form of composite tissue allotransplantation, has now become a clinical reality. We carried out the world's second partial facial transplantation in April 2006. We reviewed some issues associated with facial transplantation, especially focusing on the individual who underwent the transplant in our department. We discussed surgical indications, techniques, risks versus benefits, informed consent and psychosocial, societal and financial issues of facial transplantation. In our opinion, with the progresses in composite tissue allotransplantation, partial or full facial transplantation is becoming a timely and effective remedy for the significantly disfigured patients. However, there are a lot of problems unsolved, and as we have performed the transplant on only three individuals, no long-term outcome data are available. Facial transplantation needs further research.

Abstract
Ten novel small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) gene clusters, consisting of two or three snoRNA genes, respectively, were identified from Arabidopsis thaliana. Twelve of the 25 snoRNA genes in these clusters are homologous to those of yeast and mammals according to the conserved antisense sequences that guide 2'-O-ribose methylation of rRNA. The remaining 13 snoRNA genes, including two 5.8S rRNA methylation guides, are new genes identified from A.thaliana. Interestingly, seven methylated nucleotides, predicted by novel snoRNAs Z41a-Z46, are methylated neither in yeast nor in vertebrates. Using primer extension at low dNTP concentration the six methylation sites were determined as expected. These snoRNAs were recognized as specific guides for 2'-O:-ribose methylation of plant rRNAs. Z42, however, did not guide the expected methylation of 25S rRNA in our assay. Thus, its function remains to be elucidated. The intergenic spacers of the gene clusters are rich in uridine (up to 40%) and most of them range in size from 35 to 100 nt. Lack of a conserved promoter element in each spacer and the determination of polycistronic transcription from a cluster by RT-PCR assay suggest that the snoRNAs encoded in the clusters are transcribed as a polycistron under an upstream promoter, and individual snoRNAs are released after processing of the precursor. Numerous snoRNA gene clusters identified from A.thaliana and other organisms suggest that the snoRNA gene cluster is an ancient gene organization existing abundantly in plants.

Abstract
Sequential serum samples from four plasma donors (designated A, B, C, and D) at a Chinese blood bank with hepatitis C transmission problems were studied from 1994 to 1997. The samples were examined for antibodies to HCV, for HCV viremia by PCR and HCV genotyping. Co- and superinfections were studied by direct sequencing of the 5'-NCR, core, and HVR-1 regions, using low and high genotype-specific primers targeting the HVR-1, and by cloning of selected samples. Genotype changes occurred in all four donors: A (1b-2a-1b), B (1b-2a-2a/1b-1b), C (1b-2a), and D (1b/2a-1b). Donor D was married to donor B. The 1b isolates of donor A could not be sequenced in the HVR-1 due to low-level viremia. Two early 1b isolates from donors B and C showed high HVR-1 similarity. The later 1b isolates from B had changed significantly but were identical to the isolate from donor D. Spouses B and D also shared genotype 2a strains. The 2a isolates from donors A, B/D, and C differed by 8-10 nucleotides in the HVR-1. The frequent changes in genotype and the appearance of homologous isolates from different subjects indicate transmission at the blood bank. These four donors, all identified shortly after infection, developed very few mutations in the HVR-1 and few quasispecies during a period of 6-18 months. Highly specific primers proved to be superior to cloning for identification of minor virus populations. The results indicate nosocomial transmission of more than one strain at the blood bank studied.

Abstract
We have compared the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes of Han Chinese with late-onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease (LOAD, n=191), and vascular dementia (VaD, n=124) to controls (n=218) with a similar age distribution. The frequency of ApoE epsilon4 allele in the LOAD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (30.1% versus 10.55%, p<10-7). The risk rate of LOAD was 3.5 times higher for carriers with at least one ApoE epsilon4 allele than for non-epsilon4 bearing controls. ApoE epsilon4 allele was also significantly associated with vascular dementia (OR=1.75, p=0.026). Our findings support previous reports of a positive association between ApoE epsilon4 and both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia in Han Chinese.

Abstract
Surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) was chosen to study the photovoltaic behavior of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), hemin and immobilized hemin (poly(NIPAAm/MBA/hemin)). Different photovoltaic behaviors were observed in these three systems. In air, similar SPS curves were found for HRP and poly(NIPAAm/MBA/hemin) with different response intensities. However, poly(NIPAAm/MBA/hemin) showed a wider changing range upon increasing the positive and negative bias to 1.0 V. The SPS of hemin showed a total different behavior when an external positive potential was applied. In vacuum, clearly different photovoltaic behaviors were found. Moreover, the response value decreased when HRP was exposed to O2, the SPS intensity was different from that in air, and could be altered by changing the external biases. On the other hand, the SPS could not be changed before and after poly(NIPAAm/MBA/hemin) was exposed to O2. These differences may result from different chemical microenvironments for hemin in HRP versus that in poly(NIPAAm/MBA/hemin). It could be concluded that H2O and O2 were important factors affecting the photovoltage response in HRP, but only H2O played this important role in poly(NIPAAm/MBA/hemin).
