ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between HIF-1αt and VEGF expression and the clinicopathological characteristics in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The expression status of HIF-1α and VEGF were examined by immunohistochemistric method (IHC) in 62 tumor tissue and 19 paracancerous normal tissue.The relationships between the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF and clinicopathological characteristic were analyzed. Results HIF-1αt and VEGF expression were higher in hypopharyngeal carcinoma tissues than those in paracancerous normal tissues (66. 1％:26. 3％ ;x2 =18. 02,P ＜0. 05 ;67. 7％ : 31.6％ ; x2 =19.22, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The expression intensity of HIF-1 α was related to T stage, N stage and TNM stage ( x2 =4. 23,5.83,9.94,all P ＜0. 05). The expression intensity of VEGF was related to metastasis, T stage, N stage and TNM stage (x2 =5.62,7. 38,15.75,4. 29 ,all P ＜0. 05 ). There was minus relationship between overall survival and expression level of HIF-1 α and/or VEGF (x2 =29. 25, P＜0.01; x2 =24.88, P＜ 0.01 ).On multivariate analysis,HIF-1α expression and T stage were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (x2 =4.80,5.74, all P＜0. 05).ConclusionsHIF-1α and VEGF may be considered as a parameter in evaluation of progression, metastasis and prognosis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma and also may be a direction of molecular target therapy.

Objective To systematically review the evidence for the effect of vitamin D supplementation on insulin resistance and blood glucose in people who are obese or people with abnormal glucose metabolism. Methods We searched databases including Pubmed, Elsevier, Web of Science, and WANFANG Database etc. for randomized controlled trials comparing vitamin D or analogues with placebo. We extracted data on insulin resistance and blood glucose, including homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance( HOMA-IR), fasting blood glucose, HbA1C (% ). A1l data were analyzed using Review Manager 5. 0. Results Nine studies involving 867 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: ( 1 ) For people who are obese and with abnormal glucose metabolism, meta-analysis showed a small improvement in HOMA-IR(SMD -0. 34,95% CI -0. 61 to -0. 06, P<0. 05) and a small effect on fasting glucose (SMD -0. 41 mmol/ L, 95% CI -0. 68 to -0. 15, P<0. 05),while such effects were not seen in people who are obese but with normal blood glucose. (2) No serious adverse events were associated with the administration of vitamin D. Conclusion vitamin D supplementation may be benefit for improving insulin resistance and fasting blood glucose in people who are obese and with abnormal glucose metabolism, but has no effect on obese people with normal blood glucose.

Objective To analyze negative lymph nodes of 34 non-small cell lung cancer(NCLC) patients with total correction by means of fluorescent quantitation PCR and immunohistcchemistry,and to form molecular bi- ology staging.Methods Clinical data and tissue samples of 193 lymph nodes were collected from 34 patients under- going resection for non-small cell lung cancer.Using fluorescent quantitation reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry method,lymph nodes were examined for CEA gene mRNA,P53 and CK to form molecular biology staging.All the patients were followed-up for an average of forty months.Results The CEAmRNA was identified in 21.7% (42/193) lymph nodes negative patients from 17 patients(17/34,50%); TMN staging was up-regulated in 8 patients;positive lymph nodes were increased in 9 patients.P53 and AE1/AE3 were identified 9.8%(19/193) from 11 patients,18.6 % (36/193)from 15 patients,separately;TMN staging was up-regulated in 2 patients of P53 examination and 5 patients of AE1/AE3 analysis;positive lymph nodes were in- creased in in 7 patients of P53 examination and 11 patients of AE1/AE3 analysis.There was obvious statistical sig- nificance in them,but the molecular biology staging based on the three markers was not an independent factor on re- currence and metasis of lung cancer.Conclusion CEAmRNA.P53 and AE1/AE3 analysis could find lung cancer micrometasis more sensitively to form molecular biology staging which was relative to the prognosis,but not an inde- pendent prognostic indicator.It might be good to the therapy strategy after operation.

Objective To evaluate the value of stereotactic core needle biopsy(SCNB)in diagnosis of breast lesions.Methods Forty-seven cases were punctured with computer-assisted stereotactic system, spring-loaded biopsy guns and 16 G core needles.The record of each item was collected,including clinical manifestations,descriptions of the mammographic characteristics(such as calcification,mass and architectural distortion),the pathology of the SCNB and the surgical pathology or mammographic follow-up data.Then the results of SCNB were analyzed based on the comparison of SCNB pathology and the surgical pathology.The reason that SCNB failed and misdioagnosed was inferred from the relationship of SCNB accuracy and the X-ray characteristics.Results Forty-four cases were punctured successfully,3 cases failed.Thirty-one patients were operated soon after biopsy.The results of 27 SCNB cases agreed well with the final pathology but the other 4 did not.Conclusions SCNB as an accurate,time-saving and cost- effective method,is also minimally invasive and hardly changes the architecture of the breast.SCNB can diagnose breast lesions in advance,reduces the number of surgical biopsy,and is promising in clinical application.

Objectives To investigate the expression and diagnostic value of 14-3-3 protein in brains of patients with sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(sCJD).Methods 14-3-3 protein was immunohistochemically analyzed in tissue from the frontal lobe of 5 patients with sCJD and 4 non-CJD eases Using 14-3-3 ?and ?antibodies with reference to the results of KB,GFAP and PrP detection.Results The expressions of 14-3-3 protein in five brains of sCJD were more obviously,mostly in gray matters and astrocytes in three cases.The concentration was related to PrP deposition type,but not related to prion protein genotype.Except few expression of 14-3-3 protein in neurous of two cases of acute contusion,there were no expression in the other two cases in control group.Conclusions The expression of 14-3-3 protein in brain is useful to pathological diagnosis of CJD.

Objective To investigate the serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-18(IL-18)concentration in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its macrovascular complications, and study the relation between them. Methods ELISA was used to assay serum SAA and IL-18 levels in 65 T2DM patients (including 31 cases with macrovascular complications) and 30 healthy controls. Results Serum SAA and IL-18 levels [(3.09±0.96)mg/L, (98.8±36.4)ng/L]were significantly elevated in patients with T2DM as compared with those in control subjects [(1.06±0.45)mg/L, (58.9±15.6)ng/L](P<0.05). There was significant difference of SAA and IL-18 levels between T2DM patients with [(6.34±1.52) mg/L,(141.2±48.3)ng/L]and without macrovascukar complications [(2.65±0.39)mg/L, (80.2±20.1)ng/L](P < 0.05).Univariate linear regression analysis showed significant positive correlations between serum IL-18 with SAA (r =0.615, P<0.05), SAA, IL-18 and fasting blood glucose (FBG) had mutual positive correlations (r=0.312, 0.428, P< 0.05, respectively). Conclusions In patients with T2DM, serum SAA and IL-18 concentration is greater than in non-diabetic subjects. SAA and IL-18 play important roles in the initiation and development of T2DM. The study suggests that SAA and IL-18 might be an important independent risk factor.
