RET gene is an important oncogene,which is closely associated with the development of various types of human tumors. The mainly mechanisms of RET gene associated tumor are mutation and over-expression of wild type. Activated RET protein participates in the proliferation,apoptosis,metastasis through some signal pathways and influences the tumorigenesis and development.

Objective To evaluate the effects of SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges on the wound healing of mechanical trauma.Methods The round size of 1.8cm diameter of full thickness back skin was cut mechanically and covered with petrolatum gauzes,modified gelatin sponges,SHENG JI YU HONG plasters and SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges respectively.On day3,day7 and day14 after model mading,the wound surface healing rate,the amount of hydroxyproline,hemoglobin,the number of capillaries and the cells with positive rhVEGF165 by immunochemical method inside granulation of the wound were detected individually.Results On day3,the wound surface healing rate and the number of capillaries and the cells with positive rhVEGF165 of SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges were significant enhanced than those in the other groups.On day14,all the experimental indicators of SHENG JI YU HONG herbs loading on modified gelatin sponges were better than those in the other groups with P

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of nano-alumina(nano-Al2 O3 )on mitophagy in primary cortical neuronal cells from Wistar newborn rats. METHODS The purity of neuronal cells was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay was performed to determine the viability of the cells treated with 13 nm nano-Al2 O3 0.5 mmol·L-1 for 12,24 and 48 h,respectively. The mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)was detected by flow cytometry analysis . The ultrastructure of mitochondria and mitophagy vacuoles was observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Auto-phagic vacuoles were observed by dansylpentanediamine(MDC)staining and the expression of autoph-agy related protein Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/ Ⅰ was determined by Western blotting. Mitophagy was observed by Lysotracker and Mitotracker staining respectively. RESULTS More than 95% cells were neuronal cells. The activity of LDH in the supernatant liquid exposed to nano-Al2 O3 for 12 and 24 h groups was sig-nificantly increased compared with the control group(P﹤0.05). After exposure to nano-Al2 O3 ,the mito-chondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased compared with the control group( P ﹤0.01). The results of TEM displayed mitochondrial swelling and the formation of vacuoles and mitophagy in nano-Al2 O3 groups. MDC positive fluorescence particles were observed and the expression of autophagy related protein Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/ Ⅰ was increased in nano-Al2 O3 groups compared with the control group( P ﹤ 0. 05 ). The result of Lysotracker and Mitotracker colocalization showed the fusion of mitochondria and lysosomals. CONCULSION Nano-Al2 O3 may induce autophagy and mitochondria damage in neuronal cells while the damaged mitochondria may be removed by mitophagy.

Objective To detect cytokeratin in routine pathology negative regional lymph nodes postoperatively in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). To investigate the relationship of lymph node micrometastasis in P-TNM stages NSCLC and survival rates. Methods From Jan. 1996 to Dec. 2003, 107 paraffin-embedded specimens of T1-T4N0-N1M0 NSCLC patients were collected. Anti-cytokeratin(CK) an- tibody AE1/AE3 was applied to detect cytokeratin with Envision~(TM) method in routine pathological negative re- gion lymph nodes in NSCLC, and selected negative control, positive control and blank control. The pulmo- nary hilar lymph node micrometastasis was upward regulated with stage pCK-N1, mediastinal lymph node mi- crometastatsis was upward regulated with stage pCK-N2. The result applied to SPSS11.0 software to process. Results The CK positive rate was 29.9% in all the patients. The CK positive rate was 27% (21/78), 30% (7/23), 67% (4/6)in stage p-Ⅰ, p-Ⅱand p-Ⅲ, respectively. All these data showed the tendency by which detectable rate increased and was accompanied by disease progress. Comparing the annual survival rate and median survival time of the non-micrometastasis group with the mierometastasis group in two groups, the survival rate difference was statistically significant. Comparing the annual survival rate and median sur- vival time in pCK-ⅢA stage with p-Ⅰ-Ⅱstage, pCK-ⅢA stage annual survival rate and median survival time was significantly different (P=0.020). Similarly, comparing the survival rate in pCK-ⅡB stage with p-ⅠB stage, pCK-ⅡB stage survival rate was significantly different(P=0.059). Comparing the survival time of pCK-ⅢA stage with p-Ⅲstage, pCK-ⅡB stage, with p-ⅡB stage, euther survival time difference was statistically significant (P=0.838, 0.518). Conclusions The rate of positive cytokeratin increase is ac- companied by the disease progress in NSCLC. Positive cytokeratin has disadvantagious prognosis. It is showed that pCK-N1 may be equal to p-N1 and pCK-N2 which also may be equal to p-N2. Micrometastasis may affect the UICC staging currently in use.

Objective To investigate the difference between Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening (APCS) scoring system and colorectal cancer sequential screening criteria issued by the Health Ministry of China (China sequential criteria) in the evaluation of high-risk colorectal neoplasm in patients undergoing coronary artery angiography (CAG) examination.Methods The data of 870 patients aged from 40 to 74 who underwent CAG examination were retrospectively analyzed.The measurement data were analyzed by t test and the count data were aralyzed by x2 test.Results There were 72 patients aged from 40 to 49 years old.Among them,eight patients were stratified as high-risk population according to the Chinese sequential criteria; however there was no high-risk population by APCS.There were 798 patients aged from 50 to 74 years old.There were 460 patients stratified as high-risk population by APCS.The percentage of CAG negative group (34.7％) was significantly lower than that of the coronary artery disease (CAD) group (68.0％,x2 =77.74,P＜0.01).According to the Chinese sequential criteria,and there were 134 patients stratified as high-risk population,and there was no significant difference between the CAG negative group (17.7 ％) and the CAD group (16.4％,P＞0.05).Among the patients aged from 50 to 74 years old without family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives,72 cases (29.0％) of the CAG negative group and 316 cases (57.5％) of the CAD group were stratified as high-risk according to APCS,however not stratified as high-risk by the Chinese sequential criteria.About 90.5 ％ (351/388) of them were male smokers.According to APCS,30 cases (12.1％) of the CAG negative group and 32 cases (5.8％) of the CAD group were stratified as middle-risk population,however stratified as high-risk population by the Chinese sequential criteria.About 75.8％ (47/62) of them were female non-smokers.Conclusions The percentage of patients stratified as high-risk population by APCS was higher than that by the Chinese sequential criteria.In patients aged from over 50 to 74 years old and without family history of colorectal cancer in first-degree relative,APCS maybe overestimated the risk degree of colorectal neoplasm in male smokers and underestimated the risk degree in female non-smokers.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of axillary ultrasound (AUS)in the identification of axillary nodal metastasis (ALNM).Methods Two hundred and eighty-two consecutive patients with stage Tis-T2 breast cancer were prospectively enrolled between December 2013 and September 2015.All the patients underwent AUS performed by two specified senior ultrasound doctors.Sonographic features of their axillary lymph nodes (longitudinal and transverse diameters,cortical and hilar thickness,blood flow form)were collected.These patients were divided into metastatic, suspicious and non-metastatic groups based on the ultrasound features by ultrasound doctors.The diagnostic accuracy of AUS was compared with results of pathology.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between sonographic features and ALNM.The area under the ROC curve was used to assess the accuracy of the multivariate Logistic regression model.Results The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value and accuracy of AUS were respectively 85.6%,87.1%,86.4%,86.3%,and 86.3% in the metastatic and non-metastatic groups.The Kappa value was 0.727(P <0.001).The ALNM burden in the non-metastatic group was significantly lower than in the metastatic group (1.2 vs 6.9,P <0.001).The false-negative results were found only in 16 cases,fourteen of whom had only 1,and two had 2 and 3 ALNM,respectively.Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that maximum cortical thickness was the most significant predictive factor of ALNM(the area under the ROC curve was 0.872).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that cortical thickness and the ratio of hilar thickness to cortical thickness were predictive factors of ALNM(P <0.05).The area under the ROC curve of the multivariate Logistic regression model was 0.879 and its sensitivity and specificity were 77.0% and 85.1%,respectively.Conclusion AUS is a valuable tool for detecting ALNM.Patients with false-negative results of AUS have a lower axillary metastatic burden.Maximum cortical thickness is the most significant predictive factor of ALNM.AUS may be a potential alternative method for sentinel lymph node biopsy as axillary lymph node staging in early-stage breast cancer patients.

Objective To understand the current development situation and the existing problems and deficiencies of the exercise cardiopulmonary rehabilitation development in Level 2 and above the general hospitals in Chongqing, and to analyze and find out the factors restricting the development of cardiopul-monary rehabilitation in Chongqing, and put forward suggestions for reform and development. Methods Through literature research, field visits and questionnaire survey, the condition of 115 Level Two compre-hensive hospital's rehabilitation and exercise cardiopulmonary rehabilitation development in Chongqing was understood. Among them, 500 questionnaires were sent to 6 hospitals concerned with cardiopulmonary rehabilitation service, and 483 questionnaires were received with 351 valid questionnaires. Epidata3.1 and SPSS 13.0 statistical software were used to gather research data. Results The settings rate of 115 secondary general hospital rehabilitation was 41.7％, while only 6 hospitals carried out cardiac rehabilitation and cardio pulmonary rehabilitation. There were few rehabilitation beds, the basic staffing was inadequate and the medical staff ratio was only 2 to 2.6. Besides, there is a severe shortage of full-time health instructors.Conclusion The clinical sports cardiopulmonary rehabilitation in Chongqing is as following: The construc-tion of hospital related policies is lagging behind, the overall development of rehabilitation therapy is unbal-anced, the development is late and the level of operation is low. While the lack of professional health movement means that instructors and medical staff have cognitive impairment, residents have low accep-tance of sports rehabilitation therapy and there are insufficient pathogens, which are the main factors that restrict the development of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

Objective To evaluate the impact of three to four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) on the survival of patients with N2-N3 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods The clinical data of 915 patients with T1-4N2-3M0 NPC from 2007 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 179 patients treated with 3-4 cycles of NACT (NACT≥3 group) were matched with 358 patients treated with 2 cycles of NACT (NACT=2 group) and 179 patients treated without NACT (NACT =0 group,concurrent chemoradiotherapy group) for age,N stage,pathological subtype,and NACT regimen.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS),disease-free survival (DFS),recurrence-free survival (RFS),and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates,the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis,and the Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis.Results For the NACT≥ 3,NACT =2,and NACT =0 groups,the 5-year OS rates were 89.4％,81.6％,and 73.7％,respectively (P=O.000),the 5-year DFS rates were 83.2％,69.8％,and 64.2％,respectively (P=O.000),the 5-year RFS rates were 86.0％,76.0％,and 69.3％,respectively (P=0.001),and the 5-year DMFS rates were 86.6％,76.0％,and 68.3％,respectively (P=0.000).Three to four cycles of NACT was an independent protective factor for OS,DFS,RFS,and DMFS in patients with N2-N3 NPC.Conclusion Three to four cycles of NACT can significantly improve the survival of patients with N2-N3 NPC.

Aim Using chronic pre-pregnancy stress to establish a postpartum depression animal model, given a single YG,and acute ketamine was served as control, to explore the pathology of PPD and the anti-depressive mechanism of the YG on the PPD model on AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Methods Thirty-two fe-male Balb / c were randomly assigned to two groups, the control group ( Control, Con) and the pre-pregnancy stressed group(Model,Mod) , which was subjected to 3 weeks chronic restraint stress. After the last stressor, the pre-pregnancy stressed group was housed with a male. After about 4 weeks later, the mice gave birth to pups. Then at 3 weeks postpartum, we tested the ma-ternal tail suspension test ( TST). Both YG and Ket-amine was single administered 24 hours before behavior test, with single saline for control group and PPD mod-el group. After TST,the mouse hippocampus were ex-tracted to detect the expression of AKT and mTOR. Results After 3 weeks postpartum, the model mice showed depression-like behaviors. Immobility in TST was significantly increased in vehicle groups(P <0. 01). Acute YG improved performance in the TST (P< 0. 01), which was similar to ketamine. And the PPD model mice group showed decreased phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR (P < 0. 01,P < 0. 01), compared to control group. A single dose of YG or ketamine normal-ized AKT/ mTOR signaling in the PPD model mice(P< 0. 01,P < 0. 01),( P < 0. 01,P < 0. 01). Conclu-sions Chronic pre-pregnancy stress can induce dams into postpartum depression and its mechanism maybe associated with down-regulating AKT/ mTOR signa-ling. Acute YG exerts fast antidepressant effect on this PPD model similar to ketamine, and its mechanism may be related to up-regulating AKT/ mTOR signaling in the hippocampus.
