Objective To investigate the value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and abdominal CT (CT) in diagnosis of periampullary lesions and to make comparison between the two procedures. Methods The patients suspected of surrounding lesions of ampullary from 2009 to 2013 in our hospital were included in this study. All the patients received both EUS and abdominal CT. The accuracy rate of these two examination methods was compared. Results 151 patients were confirmed as surrounding lesions of ampullary, including choledocholithiasis, ampullary tumors, ampullary inflammation, tumors of the pancreatic head and pancreatic cysts. The accuracy rate of these diseases was 83.6%, 90.6%, 6.5%, 100.0%, and 100.0%for EUS;while was 52.2%, 56.3%, 43.5%, 91.3%, and 100.0%for abdominal CT. The tatal accuracy rate for diagnosing periampullary lesions by EUS was significantly higher than that by abdominal CT (84.1% vs. 59.6%). Conclusions Endoscopic ultrasonography has higher value in diagnosis of periampullary lesions, and its accurate rate was higher than that of abdominal CT.

Objective To investigate the relationship between blood vessel invasion (BVI) and clinicopathologic features and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer,and analyze related factors affecting the prognosis of patients.Methods The clinicopathological data of 206 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2007 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The BVI of surgical tumor specimens in all patients was detected by immunohistochemical staininng.All the patients were followed up via outpatient examination and telephone interview up to March 2014.The count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method.The survival analysis and univariate analysis were done using the Log-rank test,and multivariate analysis was done using the COX regression model.Results The BVI rate of 206 patients was 27.67％ (57/206).The BVI rate of tumor tissues,tumor differentiation,perineural invasion,T stage,N stage and TNM stage in all patients with gastric cancer were compared,showing significant differences (x2=14.396,9.569,15.579,43.453,30.732,P ＜ 0.05).After operation,188 patients were followed up for 6.0-60.0 months (median,34.0 months),with the follow-up rate of 91.26％ (188/206).Among 188 patients with follow-up,the median survival time and 5-year cumulative survival rate in patients with BVI and with negative BVI were 32.4 months and 19.6％,40.7 months and 42.0％,respectively,with a significant difference in the survival of patients (x2 =9.364,P ＜ 0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that the diameter of tumor,tumor differentiation,perineural invasion,BVI,T stage,N stage and TNM stage were factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (x2=9.241,17.486,11.243,9.364,27.666,216.745,49.887,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that the diameter of tumormore than 5 cm,BVI,stage T4,stage N3 and stage Ⅲ were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (HR =0.502,0.456,0.052,0.001,0.735; 95％ confidence interval:0.334-0.754,0.289-0.720,0.004-0.664,0.000-0.006,0.159-3.398,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions BVI in patients with gastric cancer is associated with the progression of tumors.The diameter of tumor more than 5cm,BVI,stage T4,stage N3 and stage Ⅲ are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer,and BVI may be a predictor of poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To investigate DNA hypermethylation of human 8-hydroxyguanine glycosy-lase(hOGG1 )gene and and the level of oxidative stress and DNA oxidative damage relations with arse-nic poisoning.METHODS In ende mic coal-pollution-borne arsenism area,Xinren county,Guizhou Province,according to the diagnostic criteria of ende mic arsenism(WS /T21 1 -2001 ),207 people with ende mic arsenism were selected and divided into four groups(The arsenic exposure group:46 cases, mild arsenism group:46 cases,moderate arsenism group:60 cases and severe arsenism group:55 cases).64 residents were selected as controls in a village about 12 km away fro m the ende mic arsenism area.With the informed consent principle,peripheral blood of all respondents was collected in order to analyze DNA methylation.Methylation-specific poly merase chain reaction were respectively performed to analyze hOGG1 Hypermethylation in arsenism respondents.Che mical methods were performed on the activity of super oxide dis mutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),while the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA)in the blood of patients were measured,and the contents of 8-hydroxy-2′-deox-yguanine(8-OHdG)urine of patients were measured and analysed.On the basis of methylation status are divided into hOGG1 gene methylation group (34 cases)and hOGG1 gene no methylation group (237cases).Analysis was performd on hOGG1 gene DNA methylation and the relationship between oxi-dative stress and arsenic poisoning.RESULTS The positive rates of hypermethylation of hOGG1 were associated with the degree of arsenic poisonin (co mpared with control group,χ2 =23.916,P <0.05, Co mpared with the Ende mic area normal group,χ2 =12.039,P <0.05 ).Co mparing with negative group,SOD〔(85 ±25)kU·L -1 〕,GSH-Px〔(70 ±26)kU·L -1 〕activity and 8-OHdG 〔(22.5 ±6.8)μg·L -1 〕contents were lower〔(1 18 ±41 )kU·L -1 ,(171 ±56)kU·L -1 ,(28.4 ±6.5)μg·L -1 ,P <0.05)〕in positive group.There was no significant difference between the MDA content(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Coal arsenic exposure can cause hOGG1 gene high methylation and oxidation and anti-oxidation system imbalance,causing DNA oxidative damage,it is one of the reasons to pro mote the develop ment of arsenic poisoning occurred.

Conclusion It has important significance for the diagnosis of liver malignancies with the immunoprecipitation method for determination of serum LDL-VLDL-GGT activity.

Objective:To clone the full-length cDNA of human ubiquitious mitochondrial creatine kinase(uMtCK) and express its protien in E. coli. The protein was used to immunize rabbit to prepare anti-uMTCR polyclonal antibody which was then used to detect the expression of uMtck in gastrointestinal carcinoma. Methods: A 1 062 bp segement was amplified from human HaLa cell by RT-PCR,which was then inserted into pMD18-T plasmid and proved to be the coding sequence of uMtCK by endonuclease digestion and sequencing. The coding sequence of uMtCK was inserted into pQE30 plasmid and recombinant plasmid pQE30-uMtCK was transformed into E. coli. The expressed protein was purified with a His. Bind column and was analyzed with SDS-PAGE and Westen blot and the activity of uMtCK was tested. An antiserum against uMtCK was perpetrated by immunizing rabbit with purified uMtCK. The expression of uMtCK in 59 patients with gastric and colonic cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results:The coding sequence of uMtCK was successfully obtained by RT-PCR and the product was successfully inserted into pQE30 to construct a recombinant vector pQE30-uMtCK. The expression of uMtCK was effective and soluble, A good specific antiserum against uMtCK was proved by Western blot. The expression of uMtCK of gastric and colonic cancer was 76. 5%. Conclusion:The coding sequence of uMtCK is coined and expressed in E.coli. uMtCK is a prospective marker for the diagnosis of gastric and colonic cancer.

Sixty-four patients with Graves' diseases were divided into methimazole group ( n =30 ) and propylthiouracil group( n =34 ).20 healthy volunteers were used as the control group.The levels of interleukin (IL) -2,IL-6,and TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) were determined by ELISA after serum samples were eollected before treatment and after treatment for 3 and 6 months.The results showed that the general data of two groups were not significantly different before treatment.IL-2 and IL-6 levels at 6 months after treatment were significantly different from the baseline (P＜ 0.05 ),IL-2 being gradually increased while IL-6 decreased with time.The level of IL-6 in methimazole group was lower than that in propylthiouracil group after treatment for 6 months ( P＜ 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in TRAb levels between two groups before treatment while differences became significant at 3 and 6 months of treatment ( all P＜ 0.01 ),being gradually decreased with time. IL-2/IL-6 ratio became significantly greater at 3 and 6 months of treatment compared with that before treatment in the same treatment group( P＜0.05 ) and the ratio in methimazole group was higher than that in propylthiouracil group by 6 months of treatment ( P＜0.05 ).IL-6level was positively correlated with FT3 and FT4 levels,and IL-2 level was negatively correlated with FT3,FT4,and TRAb levels in GD patients before treatment.The correlations of IL-2 and IL-6 with FT3 and FT4 disappeared by 3 and 6 months of treatment.IL-2 and IL-6 levels were related with TRAb level before and after treatment in methimazole group. These results suggest that the immunosuppressive effect of methimazole is more evident than that of propylthiouracil in patients with Graves' disease.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of insomnia on heart rate variety(HRV) in aged hypertension patients. Methods259 subjects were divided into healthy group (74 cases),simple hypertension group (71 cases),coexisting hypertension and insomnia group (114 cases) which was sub-grouped to ＜5 years,5-9 years and ≥-10 years according to the duration of insomnia.All subjects had 24 h recordings of ECG.The data of HRV time domain (SDNN,SDANN and ASDNN) were collected and compared.ResultsHRV time domain was lower in healthy group than in the other two groups (F=12.02,10.54 and 4.27,P＜0.01),and decreased more significantly in coexisting hypertension and insomnia group compared with simple hypertension group(P＜0.01).The values of SDNN and SDANN in 5-9 years and ≥ 10 years subgroups decreased as compared with ＜ 5 years subgroup (F=8.63 and 4.54,P＜0.01),and these values further lower in ≥10 years subgroup than in 5-9 years subgroup (P＜ 0.01 ). ConclusionsInsomnia may lead to more serious disorder of automatic nervous system and further aggravated disorders appear in the elderly with hypertension along with increasing years of insomnia.
