The gregarious ectoparasitic beetle (Fairmaire) is considered a primary biocontrol agent for controlling several cerambycid pests in East Asian countries. A thorough study of reproductive behavior is a prerequisite for the mass production of natural insect predators. Nonetheless, little attention has been given to this ectoparasitic beetle.

Article Synopsis
  • Selenium compounds, specifically SeMoV, show significant anti-tumor effects and are well-tolerated in tests.
  • SeMoV inhibits the proliferation of K562 cells, with notable decreases in growth observed over 48 and 72 hours, alongside signs of apoptosis.
  • Treatment with SeMoV affects intracellular ion levels and mitochondrial function, while also inhibiting tumor growth in sarcoma and hepatoma models by possibly targeting the NF-κB/IκBα pathway.

Objective: To study the clinicalpathologic features of intracranial multiple lesions.

Methods: The clinical, radiologic and pathologic features of intracranial multiple lesions in 62 cases during the period from 2005 to 2009 in Xuanwu Hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: There were 32 males and 30 females in 62 cases.

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic significance of D2-40 and annexin-1 in the ependymal tumors.

Methods: To analyses the expression of D2-40, annexin-1, EMA and Ki-67 by immunohistochemistry in 52 cases of ependymal tumors (48 cases of ependymomas, 4 cases of choroid plexus papilloma) from Xuanwu Hospital from 2005 to 2009. Ten cases of corresponding normal brain tissue were also obtained as control.

Objective: To study the immunohistochemical expression and diagnostic significance of CD34 in brain tumors of patients with refractory epilepsy.

Methods: Immunohistochemical study for CD34 was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of 54 cases of brain tumors occurring in patients with refractory epilepsy. The tumor types included ganglioglioma (GG, number = 21), dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT, number = 8), tumors/lesions which had the transitional features that between glioneuronal hamartia and mixed neuronal-glial tumor (number = 21) and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA, number = 4).

Article Synopsis
  • Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic primarily used for treating bacterial infections, and this study aims to evaluate its pharmacokinetics in healthy Chinese individuals at high altitudes, where previous data is lacking.
  • The study involved 23 male volunteers who received a single dose of sulfamethoxazole at low altitude, followed by acute exposure to high altitude, plus a separate group who had lived at high altitude for over a year.
  • Blood samples were collected at various time points to analyze the drug's presence and its effects, focusing on tolerability through monitoring blood chemistry and vital signs.

Objective: To study the clinicopathologic features of brain tumors occurring in patients with medically intractable epilepsy.

Methods: The clinical, radiologic and pathologic features of brain tumors occurring in 35 patients with intractable epilepsy encountered during the period from January, 2005 to April, 2008 in Xuanwu Hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: The mean age of seizure onset and duration of disease were 14.

Objective: To study the expression of P-glycoprotein, multi-drug resistance associated protein and major vault protein in pathologic brain specimens, and to investigate their roles in the pathogenesis of refractory epilepsy.

Methods: Immunohistochemical study was performed in pathology specimens from 18 cases of refractory epilepsy (including 5 cases of focal cortical dysplasia, 3 cases of tuberous sclerosis, 5 cases of ganglioglioma and 5 cases of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor).

Results: Both the P-glycoprotein and major vault protein were localized in microvascular endothelium of the lesions.

Objective: To evaluate the alteration of subunits composition in NMDA receptor and the alterations of the expression and distribution of NMDA receptors and parvalbumin (PV)-positive neurons in focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) cortices.

Methods: Twenty cases of FCD samples (including all four subtypes of FCD) obtained during epilepsy surgery and 4 controls were analysed by immunohistochemical staining for NR1, NR2A/B and PV.

Results: Increased expression of NR1 was detected in the giant neurons and dysmorphic neurons in FCD; while pronounced expression of NR2A/B was detected in immature neurons, giant neurons and dysmorphic neurons of FCD, especially in somata and processes of the immature neurons.
