Objective To analyze the relationship between preoperative biochemical indexes and effect ofpostoperative first 131I internal irradiation for differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods One hundred and eighty patients of thyroid carcinoma within the first 131I internal irradiation postoperative. According to curative effect were divided into effective group (96 cases) and invalid group (84 cases) and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results The preoperative serum alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in effective group and invalid group were respectively (74.83 ± 19.77),(65.50 ± 11.84) U/L and (3.12 ±0.59), (2.57 ±0.56) mU/L. There were significant difference (t =3.77,6.39, P < 0.01) between two groups. Conclusion The levels of preoperative serum A KP and TSH are important factors to influence the effect of postoperative first 131I internal irradiation for differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the expression of CIP2A and c‐Myc and their correlation in cervical carcinoma .Methods We detected CIP2A and c‐Myc expression using immunohistochemistry in 72 samples of cervical carcinoma and 12 samples of normal cervix tissues .Correlation between proteins and clinicopathologic features and relation between CIP2A and c‐Myc expression were analyzed .Results The positive expression of CIP2A and c‐Myc in cervical carcinoma tissues were 52 .8% and 56 .9% ,respec‐tively .While their positive expression in normal cervix tissues were 8 .3% and 25 .0% ,respectively .The differences had statistical significance(χ2 =8 .169 ,P=0 .004 ;χ2 =4 .208 ,P=0 .040 ,respectively ) .Clinicopathological analysis suggested that CIP2A and c‐Myc protein expression were associated with histopathological differentiation and clinical stage(P<0 .05) in cervical carcinoma ,but the protein expression was not related to age ,lymph node metastasis and pathological type .CIP2A was significantly positive correla‐ted with c‐Myc protein in cervical carcinoma(r=0 .673 ,P=0 .001) .Conclusion The high‐expression of CIP2A is correlated with malignant clinicopathologic characteristics ,and CIP2A is positively associated with c‐Myc ,suggesting that CIP2A may promote tumor initiation and development through maintaining c‐Myc protein in cervical carcinoma .

AIM: To investigate clinical efficacy of two drug therapies ( acyclovir with prednisone acetate tablets, ganciclovir with prednisone acetate tablets and aspirin) for acute retinal necrosis syndrome.
METHODS: Thirty patients (40 eyes) with acute retinal necrosis syndrome in our hospital were randomly divided into group A and B. Group A was treated with acyclovir with prednisone acetate tablets, and group B was given ganciclovir with prednisone acetate tablets and aspirin. Clinical effects in the two groups were observed and compared.
RESULTS: After treatment, the overall response rate in group B (90%) was obviously higher than that in group A (70%), both of two regimens were effective, without significant difference (P>0. 05). There was no significant difference on the pre - treatment visual acuity between the two groups (P>0. 05). After different treatments, the visual acuity in group B was ≥0. 5 in 12 eyes, 0. 1≤and<0. 5 in 4 eyes, 0. 02 ≤ and < 0. 1 in 3 eyes, and no photosensitive in 1 eye. The visual acuity in group A was≥0. 5 in 9 eyes, 0. 1≤and<0. 5 in 3 eyes, 0. 02≤and<0. 1 in 6 eyes, and no photosensitive in 2 eyes. The recovery of visual acuity in group B was obviously better than that in A group ( P < 0. 05). The incidence of complications such as retinal tear, herpes, mouth ulcers, chickenpox, viral encephalitis and central nervous system diseases in group B (10%) was significantly lower than that in A group (35%,P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Two drug therapies ( acyclovir with prednisone acetate tablets, ganciclovir with prednisone acetate tablets and aspirin ) both have positive therapeutic effect, but the latter can better restore visual acuity and decrease the complications.

Irrigation is one of the most important steps of root canal preparation. This study evaluated the dentin micro-hardness changes irrigated by Chinese nutgall solution and other irrigants, and investigated the influence of each irrigant on root canal dentin hardness. The results showed that all kinds of solution decreased the micro-hardness of root canal dentine. Chinese nutgall solution group did not significantly decrease the dentine micro-hardness with concentration increased over time.

Objective To review the current researches about tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis ligand (TRAIL) and its receptors in gastric carcinoma. Methods Relevant articles of researches on TRAIL and its receptors in gastric carcinoma were searched in electronic databases of PUB-MEDLINE and Chinese Journal Fulltext Database. Results The reported TRAIL expression level of gastric carcinoma was diverse, which was highly correlated to the histological differentiation degree, serosa invasion and lymph node metastasis. Its receptors DR4 and DR5 were both positive in gastric carcinoma tissue, while some researches reported DcR1 and DcR2 were also positive expressed. caspase-3, -8 and survivin were the important factors for regulation of TRAIL signal pathway. 5-Aza-CdR, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, ?-TOS and X-ray irradiation might enhance the TRAIL-induced apoptosis of gastric carcinoma cells. Conclusion Gastric carcinoma may be potentially sensitive to TRAIL targeting therapy, but the mechanism of TRAIL-induced apoptosis is quite complex and is regulated by multi-factors. Up to now, there are still many issues to research further, such as how to efficiently enhance and regulate the TRAIL-induced apoptosis of gastric carcinoma, whether any potential toxicities existing, etc.

OBJECTIVETo search for a more effective penetration needling method for peripheral facial paralysis.

METHODSThe patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to visiting sequence. The treatment group of 50 cases were treated with Yangbai (GB 14)-through-Touwei (ST 8), Yangbai (a little above the original point)-through-Shangxing (GV 23), Sizhukong (TE 23)-through-Yuyao (EX-HN 4), Qianzheng-through-Yingxiang (LI 20), Dicang (ST 4)-through-Jiache (ST 6) and Jiache-through-Yingxiang, at an angle about 45 degrees between the penetration needling direction and local paralysis muscle bundle, and the control group (n=45) with Yangbai-through-Yuyao, Zanzhu (BL 2)-through-Yuyao, Dicang-through-Jiache, Jiache-through-Dicang, Qianzheng-through-Dicang, Sibai (ST 2)-through-Yingxiang.

RESULTSThe cured rate and the cured and markedly effective rate were 76.0% and 92.0% in the treatment group, and 55.6% and 75.6% in the control group respectively, with significant differences between the two groups in the cured rate, the cured and markedly effective rate and the therapeutic times for cure.

CONCLUSIONThe penetration needling method at an angle about 45 degrees between the penetration needling and paralysis muscle bundle is more beneficial to recovery of facial paralysis.
