Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrashort wave combined with dephlogisticate cholagogue table in treating patients with chronic cholecystitis.Methods One hundred and forty-four patients with chronic cholecystitis treated from January 2009 to October 2011 were randomly divided into 2gtoupe by mechanical sampling method.Treatment group (76 cases) was treated with ultrashort wave and dephlogisticate cholagogue table.Control group (68 cases) was treated with dephlogisticate cholagogue table.The therapeutic effect and the incidence of ache and fever and B-type ultrasonography between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rates were 89.5％ (68/76) in treatment group and 67.6％(46/68) in control group.There was significant difference (P ＜0.01).The incidence of ache and fever,positive rate of B-type ultrasonography in tneatment group [10.5％(8/76),5.3％(4/76),10.5％(8/76)] were significantly lower than those in control group [32.4％ (22/68),14.7％ (10/68),33.8％(23/68)] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ultrashort wave combined with dephlogisticate cholagogue tabble is an effective method for treating chronic cholecystitis.

The invasion and metastasis of esophageal carcinoma is associated with several tumor marker on oncogenesi and tumor development,including matrix metalloproteinase,cell adhesion molecules CD44,pituitary-tumour transforming genes.Studies have shown that these tumor markera are over-expression in esophageal carcinoma,which affect the progress and prognosis of esophageal carcinoma,and their specificity and value for clinical application need to be futher studied.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with fairly poor prognosis. Innovative treatment based on improved understanding of the genetic alterations of SCLC is awaited. Recently, a number of potential targets or important oncogenic pathways have been identified by the next generation sequencing or other systematic genomic analysis in SCLC. In this review, we summarised the new ifndings of genetic characteristics in SCLC.

MicroRNAs can post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of their target mRNAs. MicroRNA-126 plays an important role in tumorigeness by targeting EGFL7, HOXA9, IRS-1 and p85-β. Intriguingly, it is downregulated in a wide range of tumors and is testified that it functions as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer, leukemia, breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Attenuated Salmonella can be used not only as live vaccines but also as vectors for exogenous genes. As vectors, attenuated bacteria can deliver genes directly to tumor tissues, leading to the expression of the cloned genes and induction of specific anti-tumor immunologic responses to inhibit tumor growth. Using attenuated Salmonella as a vector offers a new approach for vaccine development.

Objective To explore the mechanism of vitamin E on delaying skin aging by observ-ing the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 (HAS-2) in human dermal fibroblasts in vitro. Methods Human skin fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, and these fibroblast cells were then divided into 3 groups: different concentration of vitamin E (0, 0.1 × 10-10, 1 ×109mol/L) was added in the medium in the different group. 24 hours later, the fibroblasts were collected, RNAs extracted, and then amplified by RT-PCR. The PCR product was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, to analyze the level of HAS-2 mRNA expression. Results RT-PCR showed the lever of HAS-2 mRNA was higher in the low-dose group than the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05) ; the lever of HAS-2 mRNA was higher in the high-dose group than control group, with significant difference (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the lever of HAS-2 mRNA between the low-dose group and the high-dose group. Conclusions Vitamin E can enhance the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 mRNA, may increase the synthesis of HAS in skin fibroblasts and increase water content in the skin, so that it might reverse or delay the skin aging.

Objective To evaluate the application value of serum endotoxin combined with integrated model for end-stage liver disease (iMELD) in evaluating the short and medium term prognosis of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Methods The clinical data of 68 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to the result of follow-up at the 3,6 and 12 months.The iMELD score and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score were calculated according to relevant indicators,and the serum endotoxin level was detected.The correlation between serum endotoxin and iMELD score was analyzed in the short and medium term prognosis in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Results After 3 months' follow-up,5 patients died.The iMELD scores in survival group and death group were (39.26 ± 7.29) and (49.29 ± 8.63) scores,CTP scores were (9.32 ± 2.12) and (12.03 ± 2.75) scores,serum endotoxin levels were (9.21 ± 2.24) and (15.39 ± 5.12) ng/L,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).After 6 months'follow-up,12 patients died.The iMELD scores in survival group and death group were (41.35 ± 8.03) and (52.18 ± 10.37) scores,CTP scores were (9.78 ± 2.05) and (12.93 ± 1.99) scores,serum endotoxin levels were (8.96 ± 2.41) and (16.43 ±6.03) ng/L,and there were statistical differences (P ＜0.05).After 12 months' follow-up,19 patients died.The iMELD scores in survival group and death group were (40.74 ± 6.38) and (52.29 ± 8.53) scores,CTP scores were (10.01 ± 2.23) and (13.27 ± 1.69) scores,serum endotoxin levels were (8.53 ± 2.34) and (16.52 ± 6.08) ng/L,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The area under curve of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was 0.952,standard error was 0.048,and 95％ confidence interval was 0.790-1.022.The best critical value of iMELD score to predict death was ≥48.00 scores,and the risk of death would rise if iMELD score was increased.The best critical value of serum endotoxin to predict death was ≥ 11.00 ng/L.Conclusion iMELD score and serum endotoxin have important value in predicting prognosis in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of survivin and p63 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of survivin and p63 in the lymphnode tissues from DLBCL patients and lymph node reactive proliferation.Results The positive expression rate of p63 and survivin proteins in DLBCL patients was 63.5 %(33/52) and 76.9 %(40/52), respectively. p63 was not expressed in lymph node reative proliferation. The positive expression rate of survivin in lymph node reactive proliferation was 20.0 %. The expression rates of survivin and p63 between two groups was significant different. The replase rate of groups with positive expression of survivin and p63 were higher than that of the negative groups. The mean survival in groups with positive expression of survivin and p63 were shorter than that of the negative groups. Conclusion Survivin and p63 are useful in therapeutic and prognostic assessment. Patients with poor prognostic can be screened out in the early period of treatment using expression of survivin and p63, which may help to improve the outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Objective To summarize the prognosis of elderly patients with colorectal cancer excision who were divided into different groups by the nutritional status before their surgery.Methods In our hospital,100 patients (age from 64 to 70)with colorectal cancer were performed the screening of nutritional risk by NRS2002 before surgery.Patients with score from 1 to 2 were as the group A,and patients with score over 3 were as group B.The related indexes and recovery between two groups were compared.Results The NRS2002 rating scale score showed that 76 patients were at nutritional risk,37 cases among them received nutrition support and had faster recovery of intestinal function the time of tube pulled out after operation[(1.8 ±0.4)d vs.(2.9 ±1.5)d],exhaust time[(2.4 ±0.6)d vs.(4.3 ±0.9)d],time of in-take food[(2.9 ±0.5)d vs.(4.5 ±1.1)d],length of stay[(10.8 ±0.9)d vs.(14.1 ±1.3)d],incidence of infection related complica-tions (0 vs.5.13%),the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion Problems exist in varying degrees of loss of nu-trition in elderly colorectal cancer patients before surgery,an objective assessment of the extent and targeted care and nutritional support can significantly improve the postoperative nutrition and to facilitate recovery of gastrointestinal function after surgery.
