Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of p63, CD_(44v6) and human papilloma virus (HPV) 16/18 in carcinoma of cervix and precancerous lesion and to study their role in the pathogenesis of the infiltrative carcinoma of the cervix(ICC). Methods 145 patients were selected, among whom were 60 cases of ICC, 55 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and 30 cases of normal cervical epidermis (NCE). Immunohistochemistry streptavidin peroxidase (SP) was used to detect the expressions of p63 and CD_(44v6) protein and hybridization in situ was used to measure HPV 16/18 gene on tissue microarray. Results HPV 16/18, p63 and CD_(44v6) in ICC were significantly higher than those in CIN and NCE groups (P < 0.05). The expressions of HPV 16/18 gene in CIN I 、CIN II and CIN III were 27.3 % , 43.8 %, 70.6 % respectively. p63 protein was mainly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma, but not in adenocarcinoma. p63-positive rate was related to the grade of squamous cell carcinoma and clinical stage. CD_(44v6) positive rate was related to the pathological grade and clinical stage. Moreover, the positive rate of lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than the cases without metastasis (P <0.05). The expression of HPV16/18 was positively correlated with that of p63 in ISCC (P <0.05, Cp =0.49). Conclusion HPV16/18 possibly participate in the pathogenesis and progress of cervical squamous carcinoma. p63, as the cancer gene, may participate in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer caused by HPV 16/18. p63 could be a differentiation indicator of cervical squamous carcinoma, and it could be one of the markers which would be differentiated into squamous cell in malignant tumour. CD_(44v6) could be used as one of the indicators of distant metastasis of cervical cancer.

ObjectivesTo identify the related abnormalities of gray matter in pediatric patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) by using the optimized voxel-based morphometry (VBM).Methods Three dimensional T1WI was acquired in 31 TS children (28 boys,3 girts,mean age 8 years,range 4-15 years) and 50 age- and sex-matched controls on a 1.5 Tesla Philips scanner. Images were pre-processed and analyzed using a version of VBM 2 in SPM 2.The whole brain gray matter volume was compared between the study and control group by using t-test.Multivariate linear regression analysis was used for analyzing the correlation between the change of grey matter volume within each brain region (mm3 ) and YGTSS score and course of disease of TS patients.Statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS 13.0.ResultsUsing VBM,significant increases in gray matter volumes in left superior parietal lobule, right cerebellar hemisphere and left parahippocampal gyrus were detected in TS patients,and the volume changes were 4059,2126 and 84 mm3 ( t =3.93,3.71,3.58,P < 0.05 ) respectively.Compared to the control group,decreased grey matter volumes were found in medulla and left pons,and the volume changes were 213 and 117 mm3( t =3.53,3.48,P < 0.05 )respectively.Tic severity was not correlated with any volume changes of gray matter in brain (P > 0.05,a small volume correction,KE ≥ 10 voxel).Tic course was negatively correlated with the gray matter volume of left parahippocampal gyrus ( Beta =- 0.391,P =0.039 ).ConclusionsUsing VBM technique,the gray matter abnormalities can be revealed in TS patients without obvious lesions on conventional MR imaging.The increasing volume of temporal and parietal lobes and cerebellar may be an adaptive anatomical change in response to experiential demand. The gray matter volume of the parahippocampal gyrus may be used as one potential objective index for evaluating the prognosis of TS.
