Chinese Journal of Dermatology 1994;0(05):-
In order to investigate the effects of cis-UCA on cell -mediated immunity, we established a murine model of DTH response to DNP6OVA which is indicated by the increasing in the ear thickness of the mouse after resensitization, compared with those of the mouse injected with 200 g cis - UCA and trans -UCA intraperitoneally (i. p. ). The average of the increasing in ear thickness of each group was 9. 1 1. 13 10-2 mm (n=8, the number of ears) for the group administrated with cis-UCA; 17. 45 0. 88 10 - 2 mm (n= 8) for the group administrated with trans-UCA ; 16. 43 + 1. 83 10 - 2 mm(n= 7) for control group. It is suggested that there are immunosuppression of DTH response to DNP6OVA in mouse administrated with ets-UCA and no effecs of trans-UCA on this response.
2.Technology of breast cancer screening:current situation and prospect
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2016;10(4):321-325
Breast cancer is the first malignant tumor of women, and the incidence is still rising. Although the overall survival rate of breast cancer is high, the difference in prognosis is significant with different stage. Finding the patients at early stage and commencement of therapy timely by breast cancer screening is the key to reduce the incidence and improve the survival rate. At present, clinical breast examination, ultrasonography, mammography and MRI are still the most common methods for breast cancer screening, but in view of the specific technology and specific population it remains controversial as to which techniques are the best, especially the value of ultrasonography still needs to be confirmed in randomized clinical trials. With the constant improvement of technologies and programs, the breast cancer screening work will be more standardized and optimized.

Objective To establish a cell line with repressed expression of p53 by transfecting a plasmid construct expressing short hairpin RNA(shRNA)targeting p53 into human skin fibroblasts(HSFs),and to evaluate the effect of repression of p53 expression on the senescence in HSFs.Methods The eukaryotic expressing plasmid pGCsi-p53 containing shRNA targeting p53 gene was transfected into HSFs with lipofectamine.Subsequently,the cells were selected by G418,and resistant cell clones were chosen and expanded.Reverse transcription-PCR and real time fluorescence-based quanitative PCR were performed to determine the expression of p53 gene,and Western blot to detect the expression of p53 protein in HSFs.The senescence in HSFs was evaluated by SA β-gal staining,and cell proliferation by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay.Results A HSF clone with repressed expression of p53 was established successfully.The expressions of p53 mRNA and protein were downregulated in transfected HSFs compared with untransfected HSFs(0.09 ± 0.03 vs.0.32 ± 0.04,0.11 ± 0.04 vs.0.84 ± 0.05,both P < 0.01).The percentage of senescent cells was 13.47% ± 1.01% in the transfected HSFs,significantly lower than that in untransfected HSFs(18.10% ± 0.66%,P < 0.05).As MTT assay showed,the proliferation was accelerated in transfected HSFs compared with untransfected HSFs(P < 0.05).Conclusions The repression of p53 expression decelerates the senescence in HSFs,but promotes the proliferation of HSFs.

Objective To explore the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver (NFALD)and apolipoprotein E (ApoE)gene polymorphism in Shanghai undergraduate students. Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed in 4 148 students from Shanghai Tongji University. Quesgionary, physical measurement, ultrasonography and biochemical parameters were used to diagnose NFALD. In patients with NAFLD and 200 healthy subjects (served as control), ApoE genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. Results (1)Totally 398 subjects were diagnosed as NAFLD (prevalence 9.6%). Body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, triglycerides, total cholesterol, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyltransferase in NAFLD group were higher than those in control, which were related to the degree of NAFLD (P<0.01). (2)ApoE genotypes distributions were significantly different between two groups (χ2=10.52, P<0.01). In NAFLD,E4/4 genotype frequency (5.5%)increased, and E3/3 (61.8%)decreased . (3)Unconditional logistic regression showed that E4/4 were closely associated with lipid profiles. Conclusion ApoE point mutations 112 and 158 may cause different dyslipidosis. E4/4 genotype seems to be one of the genetic predisposition factors of NAFLD.

Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2003;0(04):-
Objective To investigate the spectrum of spiral CT imaging findings of blunt liver trauma.Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with blunt liver trauma were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent standardized spiral CT examination of the upper abdomen, which include plain scan, arterial phase and portal venous phase acquisition. The morphology, density and integrity of liver parenchyma and intrahepatic venous structures were carefully observed, as well as regions of porta hepatis, peritoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space.Results Twelve cases (70.6%) developed hepatic parenchymal laceration. There were 9 cases (52.9%) of traumatic hematoma, among which 5 were intraparenchymal and 4 were subcapsular. One case (5.9%) showed active bleeding within an intrahepatic hematoma, while two cases (11.8%) had injury (laceration) of hepatic veins. There were 7 patients (41.2%) who demonstrated the so-called “halo sign” around the intrahepatic portal branches. Thirteen patients were associated with peritoneal fluid (blood) collection, 3 with hematoma or hemorrhage of the right adrenal gland, 8 with plural effusion and 3 cases with rib fractures of right lower chest. Conclusion CT imaging findings of blunt liver trauma include parenchymal laceration, intraparenchymal and /or subcapsular hematomas, active hemorrhage, and tear of hepatic veins. Plain CT scan and contrast-enhanced dual-phase acquisition is very important for the comprehensive evaluation of patients with blunt liver trauma.
