Objective To investigate the expression of an inhibitor gene of apoptosis, clusterin, in prostate cancer and its relationship with the genesis and progression of prostate cancer and with the expressions of bcl 2 and p53. Methods The expressions of clusterin, bcl 2, and p53 in 10 cases of normal prostatic tissues, 15 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and 49 cases of prostate cancer were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results The rates of strong positive or weak positive of clusterin in normal prostatic tissues, BPH, and prostate cancer were 10% (1/10), 66.6% (10/15), and 91.8% (45/49), respectively. The expression level of clusterin in prostate cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal prostatic tissues ( P

Medical clinical education is really the beginning of clinical work,and it should be reformed accordingly based on actual changes in health care.This article discusses that the clinical medical education should be reformed to face serious medical problems.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of invasive pituitary adenoma.Methods The clinical presentations,imaging studies and surgical outcomes in 62 patients with invasive pituitary adenomas and 78 patients with noninvasive pituitary adenomas were analyzed retrospectively.Results Invasive pituitary adenomas were more common in patients with macroadenomas than those with microadenomas(P

Based on sciences of medicine, electronics and computer, this paper details such information of the portable monitor of HRV as the designing principles and essentials of the software and hardware designs. The monitor has a lot of virtues including being lightweight, integrative, visual and controllable. It can not only suit the test of physical and mental work intensity but also offer important HRV parameter for clinical diagnoses of cardiocerebral vascular diseases. It can also be used by individuals, families and service stations.

Objective To study the clinical effect and necessity of removing internal fixation after treatment of acromioclavicular dislocation (Tossy Ⅲ ) with AO clavicular hook plate. Methods From October 2001 to October 2004, 31 patients with acromioclavicular dislocation (Tossy Ⅲ ) were treated with AO clavicular hook plate and were followed up. All of their broken acromioclavicular joints were sutured and the clavicular insertions of deltoid and trapezius muscles were repaired. The coracoclavicular ligaments were sutured for only 9 patients. Their shoulder functions before and after taking out of the internal fixation were assessed by Constant and Murley evaluation and compared. Results 24 patients were followed up from 4 to 40 months after operations (averaging 22 months). There were no loosening or breakage of internal fixations. The plates were removed 12 to 27 months postoperatively (averaging 18 months) in only 9 patients. No redislocation occurred after taking out of the plates. The scores of shoulder joint function were 76.5? 8.6 and 99.5? 1.0 (P

OBJECTIVE:To study the regulatory effect of lentinan (LTN) on immune function in ulcerative colitis (UC) rats and its mechanism. METHODS:64 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group(12 rats)and modeling group(52 rats). UC model was induced in modeling group by a compound method of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB)acetone and 2,4-DNCB etha-nol. After modeling, rats were randomly divided into model group, positive group (sulfasalazine tablet, 300 mg/kg), LTN low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(0.2,0.4,0.8 mg/kg),with 10 rats in each group. Treatment groups were given rele-vant medicine intragastrically,and normal group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically,once a day,for consec-utive 15 d. The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+in peripheral blood lymphocytes(PBMC)and the levels of TNF-α,IL-2,IL-4 and IL-10 in colon were all determined,and the pathological changes of colon tissue were observed. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,the levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,the ratio of CD4+/CD8+,and the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 decreased significantly,while the levels of TNF-α and IL-2 in colon tissue significantly increased(P<0.05);obvious ulcerative lesion was observed in colon tissue (concentrated in grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ). Compared with model group,the levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,the ratio of CD4+/CD8+,and the levels of IL-4,IL-10 increased significantly,while the levels of TNF-α,IL-2 in colon tissue significantly decreased (P<0.05);the inflammation of colon tissue was significantly reduced,and the ulcer formation was significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS:LTN has a certain improvement effect on UC model rats,and its mechanism may be related to enhancing the immune function.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibitory effect of the total flavoniods of Ampelopsis grossedentata on human hepatoma carcinoma cells(HCC) in vitro.METHODS:The inhibitory effect of the total flavoniods of Ampelopsis grossedentata extract on human hepatoma carcinoma BEL7404 cells in vitro was analyzed by MTT,cell growth curve method and colony formation method,respectively.RESULTS:The total flavonoids of Ampelopsis grossedentata significantly inhibited the growth of BEL 7404 cells in vitro.MTT assay showed that the IC50 was 28.59 ?g?mL-1;the cell growth curve measurement showed that the total flavonoids of Ampelopsis grossedentata significantly inhibited the growth of BEL 7404 cells;the colony formation assay showed that the IC50 was 100% at a drug concentration of above 22.22 ?g?mL-1 and the IC50 was 58.05% at a drug concentration of 14.81 ?g?mL-1.CONCLUSION:The total flavonoids of Ampelopsis grossedentata have a remarkable inhibitory effects on the growth of BEL 7404 in vitro.

Objective To study the surgical repair mode of skin cancer in facies in aged patients. Methods The modes of surgical repair in 216 cases of aged patients with skin cancer in facies were analyzed. Results The special characteristics of physiology and pathology and the facies anatomy in the elderly determined the complexity of surgical repair. The surgical mode of excision and suture was the safest and the most efficacious. Skin flap transfer could mostly satisfy the function requirements of facies for the wound that was not able to be sutured after excision. Free skingrafting was applicable to the case that the deep tissue was not invaded by the tumor and the general condition of the patients was not much good. Conclusion The order of surgical repair modes for skin cancer in the facies in the elderly is excision and suture, skin flap transfer, and free skingrafting. Local skin flap must be the primary source as the selection of the skin flap is concerned. The suitable axial pattern skin flap or musculo-cutaneous flap can be selected according to the different section of the facies while there is no suitable local tissue.
