Objective To observe the immunohistochemical changes of ICAM-1,MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the lungs of immunocompromised rats with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and their relationships with lung inflammation.Methods After the establishment of pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia infected immunocompromised rat mode,the pathological changes of lungs were observed, lung wet/dry ratios and total protein concentration in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid were tested,and imunnohistochemical study of ICAM-1,MMP-2 and MMP 9 in lung tissue were performed.Results 1.The staining intensity of ICAM-1 in alveolar epithelial cells turned stronger in rats with pulmonary infection than those without of both groups(P＜0.05);2.The staining intensity of MMP-2 in lung tissue was stronger in rats with pulmonary infection than those without infection in both groups,and reached peak at 6～9 h after inoculation.Immunohistochemical changes of MMP-9 exhibited a similar pattern,4.Immunohistochemical changes of ICAM-1,MMP-2 and MMP-9 showed some correlation with numbers of polymorphonuclears in lung tissue(P＜0.05);5.A correlation between the stai- ning intensity of MMP-9 in bronchial epithelial eells and total protein concentrations were observed(r_s =0.484,P＜0.05),similar association were found between the staining intensity of MMP-2 in alveolar epithelial cells,endothelium of arterioles and venules and tissues beneath endothelium and to- tal protein eoncentrations in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid(r_s were 0.457,0.492 and 0.429,respec- tively,P＜0.05).Conclusion In immunocompromised rats,the staining intensity of ICAM-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in lung tissue of those with pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia were stronger than those without infection,and the changes were demonstrated some correlation with the levels of polymorphonuclears infiltration or severity of lung injury.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of multi-direction adjusted multiplanar reconstruction (MPR)by 64-slice CT myelography (CTM)in diagnosing cervical nerve injury,and the possibility of the MPR to replace conventional myelography and CT direct-scanning axial images.Methods Twenty-six patients with cervical nerve root injury were examined by conventional myelograpby and 64-slice CT using isotropic parameters.Then multi-direction MPR were performed to display nerve roots on coronal and sagittal planes besides axial images.Twenty-six patients were performed surgical operations and diagnosis were obtained.The coincident diagnosing rate with surgical operations results were compared statistically among multi-direction MPR,direct-scanning axial CT images,conventional myelography.The numbers of images were also compared between axial MPR and direct scanning axial CT images.Results Direct sign of nerve root avulsion was the loss of normal nerve root defect seen in the Isovist filled thecal sac in 6d-slice CT,which was found in 31 nerve roots.Indirect signs included:(1)Traumatic pseudomeningocele: 29 nerve roots showed the leak of Isovist into nerve root sheath,and extended into foramina;(2)Arachnoid cyst: 26 nerve roots clearly displays cystic distension in nerve root,which has low- density fine clew form septation from subarachnoid cavity and no nerve root in the cyst ;(3)Deformity of the subarachnoid space : deformity of thecal sac,partially lack of Isovist into arachnoid space,which was found in 17 nerve roots.The coincident diagnosing rate of cervical nerve root injury by multi-direction adjusted coronal MPR imaging was 92.6% (50/54),which was higher than by axial CT (77.8%,42/54)and conventional myelography (68.5%,37/54),There was significant difference between the conventional myelography, direct-scanning axial CT,multi-direction MPR images (Kappa = 0.686,0.772,0.920, respectively,P

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different concentrations of arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) on apoptosis and proliferation of human lung cancer cell line A549 in vitro under hypoxia and normoxia. METHODS: A549 cells were treated with 0, 1, 2, 4 micromol/L As2O3 for 12, 24 and 48 h under hypoxia (5% O(2)) and normoxia (21% O(2)). The proliferative inhibition rate of A549 cells was measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, and the apoptotic rate of A549 cells was detected by Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) double staining. RESULTS: Under normoxia and hypoxia, 1, 2, 4 micromol/L As(2)O(3) could significantly inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells and induce the apoptosis of A549 cells. The results depended on the drug concentration and action time. And the hypoxia couldn't influence the effects of As(2)O(3). CONCLUSION: As(2)O(3) can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of A549 cells under hypoxia and normoxia.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of EphA2 and E-eadherin in colorectal carcinoma.Methods The expression of EphA2 and E-eadherin in 67 cases of eoloreetal carcinoma and 28 cases of normal large intestine tissues were determined by immunohistochemieal method(S-P method),and their relationship to elinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The positive expression of EphA2 and negative expression of E-cadherin in colorectul carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than those in normal intestine tissues(P<0.01).F111e positive expression of EphA2 and negative expression of E-eadherin were positively correlated with tumor histological grade,invasive depth and lymph node metastasis(P<0.01 orP<0.05),but not correlated with tumor～ross type(P> O.05).The expression of EphA2 was negatively related with E-cadherin.Conclusions The abnormal expression of EphA2 and E-cadherin may be together involved in the development and progression of eolorectal carcinoma,It may be a good marker for monitoring the malignant degree and the prognosis of colorectal carcinoma by combining E-eadherin and EphA2.
