Flat colon lesions, which include superficial colon tumor and depressed colon tumor, have close relationship with colon cancers. The main type of flat colon tumor is laterally spreading tumor (LST) while the main type of depressed tumor is depressed early colon cancer (IIc type). Little has been reported about the flat colon tumor because it is difficult to be detected and has not yet been broadly recognized by clinicians. Recently, clinicians with the Nanfang Hospital have innovated some novel colonoscopic approaches to improve the diagnosis and treatment of flat colon tumor and accumalate experiences in this regard. Their conclusions are: 1. Improvement in recognizing the physical characteristics of the lesion and the application of chromoscopic colonoscopy are the key points to reveal and identify the flat colon tumors. 2. The best theraputic methods for flat colon lesions are endoscopic mucosal resection and piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection.

Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHCD) pretreatment on hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) expression in lung tissues in rats with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methods One hundred and twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-220g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =40 each):control group (group C),ALI group and PHCD pretreatment group (group P).ALI was induced by intraperitoneal LPS 5 mg/kg in ALI and P groups.The equal volume of normal saline was given intraperitoneally in group C.Group P received intraperitoneal PHCD 2 mg/kg at 30 min before LPS administration.Eight rats in each group were chosen at 2,4,8 and 24 h after LPS administration,and the lung was removed for determination of HIF-1α mRNA expression in lung tissues by RT-PCR.Eight rats in each group were chosen at 6 h after LPS administration,and the lung was removed for determination of W/D lung weight ratio and IL-6 content (by ELISA) and for microscopic examination.Results The W/D lung weight ratio and IL-6 content at 6 h after LPS administration and HIF-1α mRNA expression at each time point after LPS administration were significantly higher in groups P and ALI than in group C (P ＜ 0.05),and lower in group P than in group ALI(P ＜ 0.05).The pathological damage was significantly ameliorated in group P as compared with group ALI.Conclusion PHCD can reduce LPS-induced ALI through down-regulation of HIF-1α expression in lung tissues and inhibition of the inflammatory response in rats.

[Objective]To study the therapeutic effect of recombinant erythropoietin for contusion injury of spinal cord.[Method]Contusion injury of spinal cord was caused by weight dropping in 24 New Zealand rabbits.Twelve hours after injury,the rabbits in control group were given natural saline intravenously and rabbits in low,mediate and large-dose group were given rh-EPO 100 IU/kg,500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg respectively.Neurological status of lower limbs were scored at 24 hours,48 hours and one week after spinal cord injury.All rabbits were killed one week after injury and spinal cords were stained by HE and caspase-3 method.Electronic microscopy was used to evaluate ultrastructural injury.[Result]The neurological scores of EPO treated groups were significantly higher than that of control group.HE and Caspase-3 immunohistochemistry showed that histological and ultrastructural damage of EPO treated groups were less severe than that of control group.The caspase-3 positive neurons were significantly fewer than that of saline treated group.There was no significant difference of therapeutic effect between mediate and large-dose EPO treated groups.[Conclusion]Rh-EPO administered 12 hours after contusion injury of spinal cord could lessen histological and ultrastructural damage,prevent apoptosis of neurons and promote neurological recovery of spinal cord.Mediate dose of rh-EPO is the appropriate treatment choice for spinal cord injury.

Objective To study the expression law of zinc finger protein A20 mRNA of mouse liver tissues in the process of trauma with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infection. Methods A total of 95 healthy mice (either sex, from Kunming, Yunnan province) with a mean body weight of 21 g (18-24 g) were randomized into 4 groups: control, trauma only (Group A), LPS only (Group B) and trauma plus LPS (Group C). The models with closed fracture of bilateral spines as well as endotoximia were made. The expression characteristics of zinc finger protein A20 mRNA of liver tissues were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and all result data expressed as total gray ratio of A20 mRNA to GAPDH mRNA (?s). Results In the control group, the A20 mRNA expressed at a low level. There was low expression of zinc finger protein A20 in the Group A at various time points, with no significant difference compared with the control group. After LPS infection, the expression of A20 mRNA in the Group B was elevated more obviously than that in the control group at 0.5 hour, reached peak during 0.5-2 hours and decreased after 2 hours. But expression of A20 mRNA at each time point was higher in the Group B than that in the Group A. In the Group C, after LPS infection, the expression of A20 mRNA was elevated more significantly than that in other two groups 0.5 hour, reached the highest level during 0.5-2 hours, much higher than that in the Group B (P

Objective Laterally spreading tumor (LST) has a close relationship with colorectal cancer, its diagnosis and treatment are differed from those of ordinary protuded tumors. The aim of this study is to attract much attention to this particular tumor. Methods Four thousand two hundred and ten patients were examined with magnifying endoscope and mucosa staining from December, first 2000 to May 31 , 2002. Results In 34 patients with LST, there were 35 lesions, including granular type 15, nodular - mixed type 18, and pseudocaved 2; and there were 4 patients with intramucosa carcinoma and other 2 with serrated adenoma. The biggest lesion is 68 mm ? 85 mm, and the smallest 11 mm? 12 mm. Of the 35 lesions the diameters are 8 within 11 -20 mm, 13, 21 -30 mm and 14 above 31mm. The pit patterns of the 35 lesions are mainly IV pit patterns, about 62. 9% (22/35). The pathological diagnoses of 3 patients with VA pit patterns LST are intramucosa carcinoma, and 8 patients with Ⅲ L pit patterns are tubulovillous adenoma. All of the 35 lesions are resected by EMR or EPMR. Complication occurred in two patients during treatment of EMR such as hemorrhage and local peritonitis. Conclusion Mucosa staining and magnifying endoscopy is very useful in detecting LST. We must pay more attention to those signs, such as reddish and eneven mucosa or unclear or interrupted vascular network. Furthermore it is necessary to stain the mucosa with indigo carmine spray to get the evidences of flat tumor. Pit patterns of LST mostly are IV or ⅢL, and LST with Ⅳ pit patterns are mainly villous adenoma, ⅢL tubular adenoma, while LST with the Ⅴ pit pattern signifies the cancerated metaplasia.

Objective To demonstrate that miR-483-5p and its targeted gene ERK1 involved in the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis of human granulosa cells.Methods ① The ERK1 mRNA and protein level expression were detected by PCR and Western blot after miR-483-5p overexpression in vitro normal human granular cells.De-tected the relative luciferase density after cotransfecting miR-483-5p mimics and its control respectively with wild or mutant ERK1 mRNA 3`UTR cloned luciferase report vector in granular cells.② Granular cells proliferation and ap-optosis were detected by MTT and TUNEL after transfecting miR-483-5p mimics or ERK1 siRNAs alone or simulta-neously.Results ① It showed that both ERK1 mRNA and protein in granular cells were markedly downregulated after the transfection of miR-483-5p mimics.A significant relative luciferase activity decrease were detected in the granular cells co-transfected with ERK1 wild and miR-483-5p mimics comparison with the control mimics,but not in the cells co-transfected with the ERK1 mutant and miR-483-5p mimics.② When miR-483-5p mimics and ERK1 siRNAs were alone or co-transfected into granular cells,the proliferation was inhibited while apoptosis trend was monitored to be promoted in all cases.No obvious statistic difference was shown between each other.Conclusion MiR-483-5p is involved in the regulation of the proliferation and apoptosis of human granulosa cells by directly binding to the target gene ERK1.

Objective : To understand the current situation and influencing factors of milk and dairy intake among primary and middle school students in Tongzhou District, Beijing, so as to provide the reference for the intervention of milk and dairy intake among primary and middle school students. Methods: The stratified cluster sampling method was used to randomly select the students from the third to sixth grades of primary school, three grades of junior middle school and three grades of senior high school from downtown and township of Tongzhou District as the survey objects. The demographic information, family data, and milk and dairy intake of a week before were collected. Taking the average daily intake of 300 g milk and dairy as the standard (the Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2016), the multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for reaching the standard of average daily milk and dairy intake among the students. Results: A total of 804 questionnaires were sent out, and 771 valid questionnaires were received, with a recovery rate of 95.90%. There were 321 primary school students, accounting for 41.63%; 228 junior high school students, accounting for 29.57%; and 222 high school students, accounting for 28.80%. The intake rate of milk and dairy products was 90.92%, and the adverse reaction rate was 10.12%. The daily intake rate was 36.71%. The median daily intake was 214.29 g, and the rate of average daily intake reaching the standard was 28.02%. The multivariate logistic regression results showed that primary school students (OR=1.672, 95%CI: 1.102-2.535), middle school students (OR=2.086, 95%CI: 1.349-3.225), overweight (OR=1.747, 95%CI: 1.131-2.700), obesity (OR=2.469, 95%CI: 1.698-3.591), and parents with bachelor's degree or above (OR=1.760, 95%CI: 1.022-3.029) were the influencing factors for reaching the standard of average daily milk and dairy intake among the students. Conclusions The average daily intake of milk and dairy products of primary and middle school students in Tongzhou District does not reach the recommended standard, and grade, body mass index and parents'education level were the influencing factors.
