ⅡB. Our investigation also showed that the activity of PAS, LDH and PFK was stronger in type Ⅱ fibers than in type Ⅰ. It was concluded that each type fibers in the rat plantaris exhibit significant differences in metabolic and functional activity. The type ⅡA fibers present both high activity of glycolytie enzyme and oxidase, and reflect that these enzymes may play very important role in energy metabolism. Further study remains to bedertaken.

An extract(Polysaccharide)from Zhu-Ling(Polyporus umbellatus)and hydro- cortisone acetate were injected into mice for seven days in the experiment.Peritoneal macrophages were taken out for cytochemical analysis.The results were quantified with MPV-2 microspectro-photometer.It was found that the activity of AePase, ATPase and ANAE and the content of polysaccharide were reduced after injection with hydrocortisone acetate;that the activity of AcPase,ATPase and ANAE and the content of polysaccharide were enhanced after injection with the extract from Zhu-Ling;and that the hydrocortisone acetate and the extract from Zhu-Ling were injected into mice at the same time,the activity of enzymes and the content of polysaccharide were similar to the control group.

By applying advanced technique such as cytological CT the action of 926, a Chinese drug, on ascitis cervical cancer cells was observed.

Cell smears were made from fresh mammary tissue during operation. There are 32 samples with definite pathological diagnosis. DNA content was measured in interphase nuclei of single epithelial cells of lesions of the human breast by a microspectrophotometric technique. The normal lymphocytes from 2 cases of normal blood samples and from 4 cases of mammalopathic tissue were used as a reference for the DNA value corresponding to a diploid number of chromosomes. The normal lymphocyte had mean DNA value in 11.2?0.2 A.U. and 10.9?1.3 A.U. The rest of the measurements showed: 12.1?1.3 A.U. in the, epithelial nuclei of 10 cases of neighbouring mammalopathic tissue; 22.6?1.0 A.U. in 9 cases of fibrcma of the breast; 31.9?2.3 A.U. in 8 cases of carcinomas of the breast. The cell nuclei of carcinomas showed abnormal DNA values and the multiploid cells were dominant. It's histograms showed a shift to right and either a double-peak or multiploid-peak distribution. The DNA contents of the benign lesion cells were significantly lower than that of cancer cells, but higher than that of normal cells. The peak of their histogram showed they are between 2C-4C.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnostic role of computed tomographic dacryocystography (CTDCG) in lacrimal path damage and provide operative approach guidance for the endoscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). METHOD: Twenty-eight cases with lacrimal path damage underwent CTDCG. The following reconstruction techniques including volume rendering (VR), multiple planar reconstruction (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP) and three-dimensional reconstruction (3-d R) were done on the real-time workstation. The morphology of dacryocyst, displacement fracture of the lacrimal fossa (FS) and the relationship between the uncinate process (UP) and the FS were observed. The thickness of inner walls of anterosuperior and posteroinferior aspects of lacrimal fossa was measured. RESULT: The morphology of dacryocyst, the displacement fracture of the lacrimal fossa and the block site of the lacrimal passage could be displayed clearly by CTDCG with the following reconstruction techniques including VR, MPR, MIP and 3-d R, 6 cases of canaliculus obstruction, 14 cases of lacrimal sac obstruction, 8 cases of lacrimonasal duct obstruction were showed. Meanwhile the relationship between the UP and the FS could also be showed clear. The average bony thickness of the anterosuperior part of FS was (2.96 +/- 0.30) mm, while the bony thickness of the posteroinferior half was (0.02 +/- 0.005) mm, and the distance between the top and bottom of dacryocyst to the operculum of the middle turbinated (OMT) are (6.80 +/- 1.50) mm, (4.00 +/- 1.80) mm respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The morphology of dacryocyst, the displacement fracture of the lacrimal fossa, block site of the lacrimal passage and the relationship between the UP and FS can be clearly displayed by CTDCG, which provide operative approach guidance for the endoscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy.

BACKGROUND: Previous experiments have shown that transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1),matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) play an important role in chronic allograft nephropathy,but the mechanisms remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and significance of TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in the renal tissues of chronic allograft nephropathy and normal renal tissues. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: A histological and morphological control observational experiment of cytology was performed at Pathological Laboratory of the 175th hospital from June to October 2008. PARTICIPANTS: The transplanted renal tissues extracted from 24 patients with chronic allograft nephropathy were used in the experiment,and the normal renal tissues in 10 patients were assigned as controls. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining was performed in all the renal tissues. All the renal tissues were fixed with formaldehyde and embedded by paraffin wax. Then the sections were prepared with a thickness of 3 ?m,and were then closed with normal non-immune serum. Subsequently,the sections were incubated as follows: primary antibody,secondary antibody,streptavidin peroxidase complex,and diaminobenzidine (DAB),followed by HE counterstaining. The sections were cleared and coverslipped. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expressions of TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in the renal tissues were observed by immunohistochemical staining. The relationships among TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1,as well as between them and the grade of chronic allograft nephropathy were analyzed. RESULTS: Qualitative analysis: The TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 showed strongly positive expressions in the cytoplasm and membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells in transplanted renal tissues. Quantitative analysis: There were significant differences in expression of TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 between in transplanted renal tissues and in normal renal tissues (P

Purpose To study the expression of TMPRSS2, ERG and ETV1 in prostatic cancer and their clinical pathologic signifi-cance. Methods Tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry (MaxVision) were used to detect TMPRSS2, ERG and ETV1 expres-sion in 70 prostatic cancer tissues, 10 prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia tissues and 18 benign prostate tissues. Results There was no statistical significance on positive rate of the expression of TMPRSS2 among prostatic cancer tissues, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia tissues and benign prostate tissues (P>0. 05). The positive rate (81. 4%) of ERG in prostatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia tissues ( 30. 0%) and benign prostate tissues ( 0. 0 ) ( P <0. 05 ) . The positive rate (68. 6%) of ETV1 in prostatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia tissues (50. 0%) and benign prostate tissues (22. 2%) (P<0. 05). There was no correlation among the positive rates of TMPRSS2, ERG and ETV1 in prostatic cancer tissues and age (P>0. 05). The expression of TMPRSS2, ERG and ETV1 was positively correlated to Gleason score and clinical stage (P<0. 05). TMPRSS2 had positive correlation with ERG (rs =0. 465, P<0. 01). TMPRSS2 had positive correla-tion with ETV1 (rs =0. 590, P<0. 01). ERG had no positive correlation with ETV1 (rs =0. 151, P>0. 05). Conclusion ERG and ETV1 are expected to become therapeutic targets for prostate cancer. Detecting TMPRSS2, ERG and ETV1 at the same time is helpful to diagnosis and differential diagnosis of prostatic cancer, which might be new molecule markers of prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the ultrasound characteristics of pseudothrombophlebitis.Methods The ultrasound characteristics of thirty-two popliteal cyst cases with pseudothrombophlebitis which were confirmed by MRI or puncture were retrospectively analyzed.The former group was matched with a case control group of sixty-four patients with asymptomatic popliteal cysts,the ultrasound images were comparative analysis between the two groups.Results Compared to the control group,both the length and width of the case group were larger [(12.4 ± 4.7) ×(2.5±0.4)cm vs (5.3±2.9) × (1.2±0.4)cm,P ＜ 0.001],and there were 18(43.8％) cases with the cysts extension into the calf.The case group were more prone to show cyst with poor ultrasound penetration or solid-cystic echo (78.1％ vs 9.4％,P =0.000),which were diagnosed as popliteal cyst with hematoma or infection.Six cases of case group showed irregular anechoic area surrounding the inferior border of the cysts,which were diagnosed as ruptured popliteal cyst,no similar imaging detected in the control group(P =0.001).Both the two group showed septation in the cyst,but it did not differ significantly(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Ultrasonography is helpful to the diagnosis of pseudothrombophlebitis,the ultrasound characteristics include large cyst extension into the calf,cyst with poor ultrasound penetration or solid-cystic echo and irregular anechoic area surrounding the inferior border of the cysts.
