Objective To investigate the expression of Ezrin protein and c-met in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, their significance in the progress of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma development and metastasis. Methods The expression of Ezrin protein and c-met in 50 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was studied using immunohistochemical (SP) method. The correlation of each score according to the intensity and percentage of labeled cells or intercellular substance with relevant clinical data was statistically analyzed. Results In normal esophageal squamous epithelium, the positive expression of Ezrin protein was 34 %, the positive expression of c-met was 8.0 %. In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the positive expression of Ezrin protein was 76.0 %, the positive expression of c-met was 58.0 %. The expression of Ezrin protein had close relation to depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis(P < 0.05). The positive rate of c-met protein expression in lymph node metastasis was obviously higher than those without lymph node metasis (P <0.05). The expressinn of Ezrin protein in c-met positive eases was obviously higher than those of c-met negative cases(P <0.05). Conclusion The test of Ezrin protein and c-met may have significant prognostic value for assessing the degree of malignancy and potential lymph node metastasis probability of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Ezrin protein may be a target to evaluate the tumor prognosis.

Objective To study the toxicokinetics of Cymermethrin and its metabolites in dog bile and provide evidence for forensic cases of identification of Cymermethrin poisoning. Methods 1/4LD50 doses of Cymermethrin were given to 6 male dogs by oral perfusion after the gallbladder fistula surgery on them,and their bile were collected at different time, in which Cymermethrin and its metabolites were extracted by Liquid-liquid extraction with dichloromethane and detected by HPLC-MS-MS. The qualitative analysis was based on retention time and MRM ions. The quantitative analysis was based on an internal standard method and calibration curve. Toxicokinetics equations of Cymermethrin and its metabolites in the bile were established from the c-t curves which were fitted by the WinNonlin toxicokinetics software meanwhie toxicokinetics parameters were obtained. Results The toxicokinetics of Cymermethrin met first-order dynamic equation. The Tmax of Cymermethrin(CYM), 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), 3-(2,2-Dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylate (DCVA) respectively were 1.52±0.30,1.29±0.04,0.93±0.41 h ; The Cmax of CYM, 3-PBA, DCVA respectively were 0.38±0.03,7.9±1.32,30.9±16.24 μg/mL ; The T1/2 of CYM, 3-PBA, DCVA respectively were3.93±0.71,1.36±0.11,4.49±2.81 h; Conclusion The toxicokinetics of Cymermethrin in dog bile met first-order dynamic equation ; The toxicokinetics model and parameters of Cymermethrin can provide evidence for forensic identification of Cymermethrin poisoning cases.

Objective Study on the stability of carbofuran and its metabolite carbofuran phenol in blood preserved at different conditions,in order to provide a scientific evidence for forensic identification of carbofuran poisoning death. Methods The dogs were given intragastric administration with 4LD50(13.5mg/kg) of carbofuran, the blood were collected and divided into five equally groups preserved at 20℃(NC2.5mg/mL), 20℃(1%NaF), 20℃, 4℃ and -20℃, respectively. The concentrations of carbofuran and carbofuran phenol in above samples were detected by GC-MS/MS with MRM at 0d、5d、7d、15d、40d、83d and 150d. Results The concentration of carbofuran in preserved blood were found to be significant decrease at 7d(P < 0.05), then a steady decline. In each condition, the concentration of carbofuran phenol in preserved blood showed an increasing trend firstly, then a declined tendency. The concentration of carbofuran and carbofuran phenol descending fast in blood at 20 ℃ (NC) and 20 ℃ (1%NaF).Conclusion Carbofuran and carbofuran phenol in preserved specimens are found to be decomposed. The decomposition is quick at 20℃ and slow at -20℃. Citrate sodium and sodium fluoride are not suit for anticoagulation and antiputrefactiva. Biological specimens used for forensic identification of the carbofuran poisoning should be stored at refriferated or freezed, and be analyzed as soon as possible.

Objective To develop a method of support liquid-liquid extraction (SLE) and simultaneous determination of 4 components in somedon and its 8 metabolites by GC–MS/MS. Methods Somedon and its metabolites were extracted by SLE and determined by GC-MS/MS in MRM mode. The qualitative analysis was based on retention time and ratio of ions. The quantitative analysis was based on internal standard method and calibration curve. Results After SLE and determination of 4 components in somedon and its 8 metabolites, the extraction rate were 37.57%~95.87%, the linear range were 0.12μg/mL~16.00μg/mL, the correlation coefficient(r)were 0.989 6~0.999 7, LOD were 0.08ng/mL~14.48ng/mL, the accuracy were 79.63%~122.90%, the interday and intraday precision were 0.99%~7.43% and 2.19%~10.60% respectively. Conclusion Simultaneous determination of somedon and its metabolites by GC–MS/MS in biological samples, which was rapid, simple, accurate and was high precision and recovery, can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis in forensic cases.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical performance of HPV genotyping with cytology for detecting cervical precancer among women attending co-testing.
Methods:
A total of 2 883 females who participated in cervical cancer screening program were recruited from Erdos in 2016. All the participants were tested by cytology and HPV genotyping. In 2017, women with abnormal cytology results or HPV positive were followed up. Pathological cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2+ was the study end-point. Clinical performance indexes were calculated, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, referral rate and missed cases.
Results:
INNO-LiPA resulted in a detection rate of 18.87%(544/2 883) for the 14-type high risk HPV. HPV16 was the most common infectious genotype (4.06%), followed by HPV52 (3.61%), HPV51 (2.50%), HPV58 (1.98%), and HPV18 (1.56%). With more HPV genotypes added into the group, sensitivity increased and the specificity decreased. Addition of HPV16, 58, 33, 39, 52, 18, 31 for detection lead to the maximun value of area under the curve (AUC)=0.913 (95%
