Objective To test the expression of serine/arginine rich splicing factor 1(SRSF1)and apoptosis inhibiting factor(Survivin) in prostate cancer,and study their correlation with the pathological features of prostate cancer,so as to put forward the new targets in the treatment of prostate cancer. Methods SRSF1 and Survivin protein was determined in 20 prostate tissue samples including prostate cancer(n=12)and benign prostat?ic hyperplasia(n=8)by immunohistochemical SP method. SRSF1 and Survivin was correlated to pathological features,and both the relevance was analyzed(no related reports at home and abroad). Results The positive expression rate of SRSF1 protein in prostate cancer tissue cells was 76.37± 5.06%,which was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia(11.30%±1.09%,P<0.05);the positive expression rate of Survivin protein in prostate cancer tissue cells was 86.93%±3.21%,which was significantly higher than that of benign prostatic hyperplasia(17.67%±1.99%, P<0.05);SRSF1 and Survivin protein expressed in prostate cancer organizations and were positively correlated to pathological Gleason grading, and there was significant correlation(P<0.05). Conclusion SRSF1 and Survivin protein were highly expressed in adenocarcinoma tissue,which were significantly increased than that of benign hyperplasia of prostate tissue. The positive expression SRSF1 and Survivin protein were positively cor?related to pathological Gleason grading.The expression of Survivin protein was elevated with the expression of SRSF1 protein in prostate cancer. These preliminary evidence indicated that SRSF1 may up?regulate the expression of Survivin,and thus promote the occurrence and development of prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the tube voltage and radiation dose as well as image quality in adult upper airway digital radiography (DR).Methods We used CDRAD2.0 contrast details phantom and PMMA to simulate adult upper airway. With different tube voltages,the phantom was exposed using automatic exposure control system (AEC).The entrance surface dose( ESD),dose area product(DAP) and mAs in every exposures were recorded.The image quality factors(IQF) of all images were calculated. Results With tube voltage increasing,ESD,DAP,mAs decreased and IQF value enhanced.There were statistically significance ( F =45.15,26.41,29.26,56.53,P < 0.05 ).ESD,DAP,mAs significantly increased with tube voltage less than 75 kV,began to decrease when tube voltage more than 75 kV,tended to be on the balance in 75 -80 kV.At the same time,the fluctuation of IQF value was no statistical difference in 50 - 75 kV of tube voltage,but was statistical significance in 75 -90 kV( F =11.35,P <0.05 ).So,the image quality of adult upper airway with different tube voltage had no significant difference.Conclusions The appropriate tube voltage was 75 kV to 80 kV in the upper airway DR.The IQF value can be provided as the clinical evaluation index of image quality.
