Background and purpose:δ-catenin is a member of the p120 catenin subfamily, which can directly bind to E-cadherin on the cell membrane, forming E-cadherin/catenin complex. δ-catenin can also affect the cytoskeleton assembly by regulating the activity of Cdc42 (Small GTPase). Therefore, this study detected the expression of δ-catenin and Cdc42 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and investigated the relationship between them.Methods:The expressions of δ-catenin and Cdc42 in 122 cases of NSCLC were detected by immunohistochem-istry. This study also used Western blot and real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of δ-catenin and Cdc42 in lung cancer tissues. After up-regulating or down-regulating δ-catenin in lung cancer cell line, the activity of Cdc42 and invasion ability of lung cancer cells were detect-ed by G-LISA and Transwell.Results:The mRNA and protein expression of δ-catenin and Cdc42 in lung cancer tissues was signiifcantly higher than that in normal lung tissues. In 122 NSCLC cases, the δ-catenin positive expression rate was 65.57% (80/122), and the Cdc42 overexpression rate was 68.03% (83/122). There was a good correlation betweenδ-catenin positive expression and Cdc42 overexpression (P<0.001). The co-expression of δ-catenin and Cdc42 was related to the high clinical stage, poor differentiation, adenocarcinoma and lymph node metastasis of lung cancer (P<0.05), and was signiifcantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with lung cancer. In the lung cancer cell line, the expression and the activity of Cdc42 were changed by regulating the δ-catenin expression, which affected invasion ability of the lung cancer cells.Conclusion:The δ-catenin expression was significantly correlated with the Cdc42 expression. The co-expression of δ-catenin and Cdc42 in lung cancer was correlated with the poor prognosis of lung cancer.

Hemoptysis is a life-threatening clinical emergency.Many diseases can cause hemoptysis and the blood vessels supplying the bleeding site are complicated and varied.Using endovascular embolization to treat hemoptysis has many advantages.It is safe to apply this technique in a great variety of indications with less contraindications.Besides,this technique is minimally-invasive and takes hemostatic effect immediately with less complications.Therefore,endovascular embolization has become the therapy of first choice for hemoptysis.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review in the respects of embolic materials,technical points,short-term and long-term effectiveness and related complications,etc.

Objective To observe the sedative and analgesic effects of local anesthesia with midazolam and sufent-anil for patients in ophthalmologic plastic surgery. Methods A total of 160 patients (ASA I-II) were randomly divided into two group using a random number table, 80 cases in each group, groupⅠ: local anesthesia and groupⅡ: local anesthesia with midazolam (0.05 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.1μg/kg). Values of bispectral index (BIS), systolic blood pressure (SBP), dia-stolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxyhemoglobin saturation(SpO2) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were recorded after patients entered into the operating room, during the time of injection of local anesthesia, at the beginning of the procedure, 20 min after the surgery and after operation. It was also recorded including hypoxemia, ap-noea, restlessness, nausea and vomiting and the duration of surgery. Results There were no significant differences in age, gender, weight and duration of surgery between two groups of patients. There was a significantly lower BIS value before inject-ing local anesthesia, at the beginning of the surgery and 20 min after the surgery compared with that of time point that pa-tients entered into the operating room in groupⅡ(P<0.05). In groupⅠthere were significantly higher values of SBP, DBP and HR during the injection of local anesthesia, at the beginning of the procedure, 20 min after the beginning of the proce-dure and after the surgery than those of time point that patients entered into the operating room;the value of RR was signifi-cantly increased during the injection of local anesthesia, at the beginning of the procedure and 20 min after the beginning of the procedure than that of time point that patients entered into the operating room (P<0.05). Compared with before anesthe-sia induction, values of SBP, DBP, HR and RR were significantly decreased in groupⅡ(P<0.05). There were significantly lower levels of SBP, DBP, HR and RR during the local anesthesia injection to the time after surgery in groupⅡthan those of groupⅠ. The value of VAS was significantly higher during the time of injection of local anesthesia and during the surgery in groupⅠthan that of groupⅡ(P<0.05). There were 15 patients with restlessness in group I, which were higher than those of groupⅡ(3 patients with restlessness). There were 3 patients with nausea and 3 patients with anoxemia and no apnea in group Ⅱ. Conclusion The conscious sedation with midazolam and sufentanil is an effective anesthetic technique for patients in ophthalmo-logic plastic surgery.

Objective To study the histopathological features, diagnosis criteria, the relationship of surgery pattern and prognosis of phyllode tumor of breast. Methods To analyze the histopathological features and clinical outcome of different surgery patterns in 203 patients with phyllode tumor of breast by Chi square test, Cluster, Focater, Logistic and Cox multivariate regression according to the request of SPSS 10. 0. Results 203 patients with phyllode tumor of breast were divided into three groups, i.e. benign 133 cases, borderline 42 cases and malignant 28 cases. Local recurrences in three groups were 28, 19 and 18, respectively. The patients died from tumor were 0, 2 and 16, and circulatory metastases were 0, 1 and 10, respectively. Five-year survival were 100 %,92. 0% and 33. 3% in the three groups of 131 patients by a 5 years' follow-up survey. Conclusions Tumor necrosis has important value in the diagnosis of phyllode tumor. Nature of tumor margin, cellular pleomorphism, frequency of mitoses and tumor necrosis were statistically appropriate composition in histological diagnosis of phyllode tumor. Wide local excision is preferred for the benign and borderline phyllode tumor, while simple mastectomy is indicated for recurred borderline and malignant, but tylectomy should be abolished in the treatment of phyllode tumor. Correlation of histotypes of phyllode tumor with local recurrence and tumor death was statistically significant at a level of P＜0. 001; correlation of infiltrative growth of the tumor with local recurrence was statistically significant at a level of P＜0. 001. Tumor necrosis and mitotic activity were independent prognostic factors.

Objective On the basis that olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplanted into injured spinal cord may facilitate axonal regeneration, the OECs were cultured from olfactory bulb and nasal olfactory mucosa in the present study, in order to explore if the olfactory mucosa could be a new donation for transplanting the olfactory ensheathing cells. Methods OECs were harvested from olfactory bulb and mucosa based on the differing rates of attachment of the various cell types, following GFAP and NGFRp75 immunocytochemistry. Results Three morphological and immunohistochmically distinct types of cell which appeared bipolar,tripolar and flat morphology were present in primary cultures of adult rat olfactory bulb and olfactory mucosa.Conclusion The method of purification for OECs based on the different rates of attachment among the various cell types is simple, inexpensive and practical. The OECs from nasal olfactory mucosa like ones from the olfactory bulb is an accessible source of tissue for autologous grafting in human spinal paralegia in the future.
