[Relations of transforming growth factor-beta1 expression to differentiation and prognosis of advanced gastric cancer].
To clarify the correlation of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) expression with the differentiation and prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (GC). ⋯ TGF-beta1 expression is significantly correlated with the differentiation degree of GC. Moreover, positive expression of TGF-beta1 is a favorable prognostic factor in advanced GC. Expression of TGF-beta1 may be an important preoperative prognostic variable for advanced GC.

Clinical Trial[Deficit in risk-taking decision-making of patients with lesions of prefrontal cortex].
To investigate the influence of injury of prefrontal cortex on the risk-taking decision-making and to test the hypothesis that the orbitofrontal area is involved in the special network of risk-taking decision-making. ⋯ The patients with lesions in the orbitofrontal area, not in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, have a specific deficit in risk-taking decision-making, i.e. an inhibition effect of punishment, reduced sensitivity to punishment but increased sensitivity to reward. The orbitofrontal areas play an important role in risk-taking decision-making processes.

[X-ray measurement of cervical spinal canal in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal canal stenosis].
To investigate the mechanism of high occurrence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy in the patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis and the relationship between these two diseases. ⋯ Compared to the healthy objectives, the patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis is easier to be inclined to the developmental cervical spinal stenosis.
