Objective To evaluate the recent curative efficacy and security of High Intersity Focused Ultrasound(HIFU)in treating patients with advanced pancretic carcinoma.Methods 17patients with cancer of pancreas were treated by FEP-BY02,received 135(average 8)times.Results The overall response rate was 70%(CR+PR),including11.76%(2/17)complete response(CR)and 58.82%(10/17)partial response(PR).The clinical benefit response(CBR)was 82.36%.The inefficiency was 17.64%(3/17).The cancer pain was relieved in 80% patients(8/10).Nocomplications occurred.such as pancreatic juice leakage,bleeding,perforation of gastrointestinal tracts,scalding of skin in the group.Conclusions The preliminary results show that HIFU has a high efficacy and quite safety for advanced pancreatic carcinoma,it is worthy of futher clinical trail.

Effects of microiontophoretically applied transmitter receptor antagonists on the evoked response of “pain” units of PVN in rats by sciatic stimulation were observed. The results showed: (l)The evoked response of 7 out of 38 PVN “pain” units could be blocked by atropine (7/38); 5 out of 27 by hexamethonium; 6 out of 31 by phentolamine (6/31); and 4 out of 25 by propranolol (4/25). Seventeen out of 52 were blocked by cyproheptadine (17/52), but 3 out of 52 were augmented by cyproheptadine (3/52). (2) The evoked response of the same “pain” unit could be blocked by two antagonists: the evoked response of 2 out of 27 PVN “pain” units could be blocked by atropine and cyprohepadine; 3 out of 20 by hexamethonium and cyproheptadine; 2 out of 25 by prepamolol and cyproheptadine. These results suggest that the noxious somatic input to PVN involves 5-HT, cholinergic and adrenergic transmitter receptor mechanisms and that the convergence of various transmitter systems on PVN “pain” unit is indicated.

Objective To compare the clinical application value of the real-time fluorescence PCR method and flow cytometry method for detecting human leukocyte antigen B27(HLA-B27).Methods Blood HLA-B27 level in 225 patients with suspected ankylosing spondylitis was detected by using real-time fluorescence PCR method and flow cytometry method.The detection results were compared and analyzed between the two methods.Results The results of 95.1% sample were identical detected by two methods without statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Taken the results of flow cytometry as reference, the sensitivity of real-time fluorescence PCR for detecting HLA-B27 was 94%, the specificity was 96%.Gene sequencing was performed if results of a sample detected by two methods were different, which was identical with the result detected by real-time fluorescence PCR.Conclusion Both methods for detecting HLA-B27 all have high sensitivity and specificity.Real-time fluorescence PCR method is more superior to the flow cytometry method in the results accuracy.

Objective To analysis the related factors and the morbidity of patients with Chlamydia trachomatis(CT),Neisse-ria gonorrhea(NG),Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU)in Beijing Union Medical College Hospital.Methods Simultaneous Am-plification and Testing (SAT)was used to detect CT-RNA,NG-RNA,UU-RNA of patients from January of 2013 to Decem-ber of 2014.Results There were 6 262 cases in all and 2 412 cases in 2013,and 3 850 cases in 2014.The positive rate of CT-RNA,NG-RNA and UU-RNA were 7.29%,3.44% and 38.21% in 2013.The positive rate of CT-RNA,NG-RNA and UU-RNA were 8.17%,4.15% and 45.71% in 2014 respectively,which were higher than those of in 2013.There was a signifi-cant difference in UU-RNA positive rate between the two years (χ2 =12.66,P <0.01).The positive rate of CT-RNA,NG-RNA and UU-RNA were 8.15%,3.89% and 42.77% respectively in two years.The positive rate of UU-RNA in women’s (61.05%)was significantly higher than the men’s (24.50%)(χ2 =316.13,P <0.01).Most of the people with CT-RNA, NG-RNA and UU-RNA-positive were between 21 to 30 years old.The highest detection positive rate was in cervical swabs samples of UU-RNA.Conclusion There was a significantly increasing trend of the infection with UU.Male were more sus-ceptible to CT and NG.However,female were more susceptible to UU.There was the highest infection rate in youth (21~30 years)with CT,NG and UU.

Objective To investigate the histopathological and ultrastructural changes of corneal epithelium induced by erlotinib in mice.Methods Totally 30 6-8 weeks old male BALB/c mice were divided into three groups:Control group (n =12),experimental group (n =12),another 6 mice did nothing as the blank control.Experimental group used erlotinib eye drops and control group used PBS in both eyes,four times per day.At 1 day,7 days and 14 days after the intervention,corneal fluorescence staining (FL) was observed by slit lamp and graded.On the fourteenth day after the intervention,the eye balls of mice were taken,and the histopathological and ultrastructural changes of corneal epithelium and epithelial cells were observed by optical microscope and electron microscope,respectively.And protein of cornea was measured by Western Blot.Results Before the intervention,there was no significant difference in FL scores between the experimental group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).At 1 day,7 days and 14 days,FL score of experimental group was significantly higher than the groups of non-intervention,the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).While FL score of control group was not statistically significant before and after intervention (all P ＞ 0.05);Compared between two groups,there were statistical differences at 7 days,14 days in FL score (all P ＜ 0.05).In the experimental group,the histopathological changes of murine corneal epithelial cells had disorderly arrangement,increased layers of cells,and the inflammatory cells.Under electron microscope,the morphology of corneal epithelial surface cells was irregular and partially detached.The number of microvilli,desmosomes and hemidesmosomes were significantly decreased when compared to the control group.The expression of p-EGFR in experimental group was significantly less than that in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Erlotinib can damage the tissue structure of corneal epithelium and ultrastructure of corneal epithelial cells in mice.And the mechanism is probably that erlotinib influence the corneal epithelium by inhibiting the EGFR activation.

We report the first known ethnic Malay patient with laminin alpha-2 (merosin) deficiency (MDC1A), a subtype of congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD)as a result of novel LAMA2 gene mutations. The 21-month-old female presented with hypotonia at birth and gross motor delay of her distal lower limbs. Physical examination showed generalised hypotonia, hyporeflexia and myopathic facies but good cognitive functions. Serum creatine kinase was elevated and white matter changes were detected in the brain MRI. Muscle biopsy showed dystrophic changes with complete laminin α2 deficiency by immunohistochemistry. Mutation analysis of LAMA2 showed compound heterozygote at exon 21, c.2888delG(p.Gly963Alafs*111) and exon 34, c.4886dupC(p.Pro1629Profs*40) leading to premature stop codon for each of the frameshift mutations. Patient review at seven years of age showed satisfactory cognitive functions despite having contractures and weakness. Genetic testing of LAMA2 related muscular dystrophy facilitated the earlier diagnosis of MDC1A and genetic counselling for this family. MDC1A
