Objective To define the correlation between the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and metastasis-related gene nm-23-H 1, and to correlate their espressions with clinical features,radiosensitivity and prognostic variables in exophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), to establish some biological parameters obtained prior to therapy though which we can predict radiosensitivity and outcome.Methods PCNA and nm-23-H 1 expression protein were determined by immunohistochemical technique with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens from 59 patients with ESCC who had received definitive radical radiation and had been followed up for more than 3 years. The values were assessed by distributions of patients , disease factors, including age,sex,lesion site,legth ,histological grade and prognosis.Results The findings showed that the mean labelling indices of PCNA and nm-23-H 1 were significantly higher in ESCC than in the normal esophageal tissue (P0.05).Conclusions PCNA and nm-23-H 1 indices can be taken as biological endpoints to predicting therapeutic response, local and systemic control of disease.

Objective To study the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), metastasis-related gene nm23-H1 in supratentorial astrocytomas, and analyze the prognostic factors and the relationship between PCNA expression, nm23-H1 expression and clinical, MRI features.Methods From November 1994 to December 1998, 52 pathologically proved astrocytoma patients with complete clinical data were analyzed. The expressions of PCNA and nm23-H1 were detected by streptabitin peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical method. Clinical and MRI data were collected and analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model .Results There was a significant difference in the expressions of PCNA and nm23-H1 in the lesion and their adjacent tissues (P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the fourth-generation ultrasonic lithotripsy system for treating the urinary tract stones.Methods243 cases of urinary tract stones who received treatment of fourth-generation EMS ultrasonic lithotripsy system were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsImmediate phase I lithotrotrisy was performed successfully in 227 cases and the successful rate of phase I was 93.3% (227/243).Delayed phase Ⅱ lithotripsy was performed for 16 patients.Complications happened in 2 cases,one case occurred hydropneumothorax during operation,required indwelling thoracic drainage tube processing,the other had severe bleeding which conservative treatment was ineffective,cured by the intervention of super-selective renal artery embolization.Conclusion Fourth generation of ultrasonic lithotripsy for treating stones on different anatomical locations of urinary system was safe,practical and efficient,worthy of clinical application.
