Objective To study the gastroscopic and pathohistologic mucosal changes in children′s chronic gastritis and to improve the diagnosis of the chronic gastritis in children.Methods Two thousand four hundred and forty children with upper-abdominal symptoms who were examined by gastroscopic observation were collected,and samples of gastric mucosa were examined by the same pathohistologist.And then the pathohistologic changes were analysed.Results All the 2440 children had different mucosal inflammation confirmed by gastroscope,and the pathologic results show that there were 2132 cases of chronic superficial gastritis(90.03%) and 76 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis(3.21%).Among 2440 cases,80 cases with intestinal metaplasia(3.37%),972 cases with lymphoid follicles(41.05%),409 cases with active inflammation(17.28%),902 cases with helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection(38.09%).Moderate and severe inflammatory were more predominant in patients with Hp infection,especially with lymphoid follicles or active gastritis,and the percentage of them were 50.79%,68.73%,73.53%,respectively.Conclusions Major chornic gastritis in children are chronic superficial gastritis,and the pathohistological changes are different from the adults.It also shows that there is a close relationship between gastric mucosal inflammation and Hp.

Background and purpose:Aberrant expressions of microRNAs (miRNA, miR)are reported in various cancers and may associate with cancer occurrence, development, invasion and metastasis, thereby functioning as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes. This study attempted to observe the expression of miR-214 in pancreatic cancer and to explore its clinical signiifcance.Methods:Real-time PCR was used to detect the miR-214 expressions between pancreatic cancer tissues and matched adjacent tissues. The correlations of miR-214 expression with clinic-pathological features and clinical prognosis were analyzed.Results:MiR-214 expression was up-regulated in 69.4%(25/36) of tumor tissue specimens. The relative expression level of miR-214 was signiifcantly higher in tumor tissues than in matched adjacent tissues (3.45vs 1.52,P<0.01). Higher miR-214 level was strongly associated with T3-T4 stage (P=0.018). The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with higher expression of miR-214 had a shorter survival time (P=0.032).Conclusion:The expression of miR-214 is associated with clinic-pathological features and patient’s clinical prognosis, so it may be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker and a prognostic predictor in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objective To study the relationship between the expression level of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) protein and telomerase activity as well as its clinical significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Immunohistochemical SP method was employed to detect hTERT protein expression in 52 cases of HCC and paired adjacent tumor tissues, and telomerase activity was examined in these samples with telomeric repeat amplification-ELISA. Results The positive rates of hTERT protein expression and telomerase activity in HCC were 86.5%(45/52) and 80.8%(42/52), respectively, which were significantly higher compared with the adjacent tumor tissues(P

To study the effects of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) on the in vitro maturation, fertilization, cleavage and blastula formation of mouse oocytes, the immature oocytes were infected in vitro by MCMVs of different dosages (100 TCID(50), 10 TCID(50) and 1 TCID(50)). The oocytes were then observed for in vitro maturation, fertilization, cleavage and blastula formation and the ultrastructural changes after the culture with the viruses. Our results showed that no significant differences were found in IVM, IVF, cleavage and blastula formation among the groups treated with of virus of various dosages. And ultrastructural abnormality was observed in the oocytes treated by 100 TCID(50) of viruses. It is concluded that MCMV did not have any conspicuous effects on IVM, IVF, cleavage and blastula formation of murine immature oocytes.

Objective To analyse the efficacy of methotrexate combined with mifepristone in treatment of 130 cases heterotopic pregnancy. Methods 130 cases heterotopic pregnancy from January 2014 to December 2014 in obstetrics and gynecology department of First Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Medical University were divided into observation group and control group, randomly, 65 cases in each group.Patients in control group were treated with 1 mg/kg methotrexate of intramuscular injection, one time per day; patients in observation group were treated with mifepristone of oral, one time per day, 75mg per time on the basis of control group.The serum β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), normal pregnancy rate, size of enclosed mass, rate of treatment success and adverse reactions in two groups were compared.Results The recovery time of serum β-HCG in observation group was shorter than that in control group ( P <0.05 ) , and normal pregnancy rate in observation group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05).After 7 and 14 days’ treatment, size of enclosed mass in observation group was smaller than that in control group (P<0.05).After two months’ treatment, the efficacy in observation group was higher than that in control group (92.31%vs.61.54%;χ2 =17.33,P<0.05).There was no significant difference in adverse reactions rate between two groups (χ2 =0.34,P>0.05).Conclusion Methotrexate combined with mifepristone could improve the clinical efficacy which is a safe therapy with few adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the distribution of age and relationship of ESR with HCT.Methods The HCT,age and ESR datas of the patients which all ages were above 40 years were Collected,then count the mean and standard deviation x±s with different groups of HCT,t test was made to identify the significance of difference.Results HCT:The levels of hct in males was 0.47±0.26 in higher groups of HCT,0.39±0.27 in normal groups and 30.01 ±3.59 in lower groups.The levels of HCT in fe-males was 0.42±0.17 in higher groups,0.30±0.36 in normal groups,0.27±0.45 in lower groups;Age:The average age in males was 57.41±10.62 years in higher HCT groups of patients,67.23 ±12.75 in lower hct groups,there were significantly difference between them.The avarage age in females was 60.70 ± 11.60 in higher HCT groups of patients,61.60 ± 12.40 in lower HCT groups,there were no significantly difference between them.ESR:The levels of ESR in males was (3.95 ±3.26)mm/h in higher HCT groups,(61.61±40.04)mm/h in lower HCT groups;The ESR in females was (28.26±28.62)mm/h in higher HCT groups, (60.20±43.71)mm/h in lower HCT groups,there were significantly difference between different groups included both males and femals.Conclusion When the HCT were decreased,the age and ESR were increased in males,the ESR were also increased but had no relationship with ages in females.Conjuction the age and ESR,it could improve the prevention and monitoring in heart-brain blood disease through the HCT.

Natural products especially flavonoids are being explored for their therapeutic potentials in reducing bone loss and maintaining bone health. The present study is to investigate the effects of isoquercitrin from Craibiodendron yunnanense with different concentrations at 1 x 10(-4), 1 x 10(-5), 1 x 10(-6), 1 x 10(-7) mol x L(-1) on proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1. Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 kit at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days of culture. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were performed qualitatively and quantitatively on day 7, and alizarin red S staining was employed to access the mineralization of cells on day 21. The osteogenic markers ALP, collagen type I (COL 1A1), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2) and Osterix were detected to analysis early osteogenic differentiation of cells on day 3 by RT-PCR. The results showed that isoquercitrin had a dose-dependent effect on the proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, mineralization and gene expression of MC3T3-E1 in the range from 1 x 10(-7) to 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1). At concentrations above 1 x 10(-4) mol x L(-1) isoquercitrin showed cytotoxicity, while 1 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1) is the optimal concentration of isoquercitrin to improve the osteoblastic activity. All these results implied that isoquercitrin might be the major composition of traditional Chinese medicine C. yunnanense to treat bone fractures.
