Objective To study the expression levels of SCCA1 and SCCA2 mRNA in tissues of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. To investigate the role of this gene in the clinical diagnosis, evaluation of treatment and observation of prognosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SCCA1 and SCCA2 mRNA in tissues of 60 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and those of 30 cases of normal cervical tissues. Results The expression level of SCCA2 mRNA in tissues of 30 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma was higher than in those of 15 cases of normal cervical tissues (4.405 ± 2.310, 9.088 ± 2.195) (t =-6.513, P <0.001), while the expression level of SCCA 1 mRNA did not significantly differ between normal and malignant tissues (P >0.05). The expression of SCCA2 mRNA was relevant to FIGO stages and there was a tendency for this gene to increase with the stage getting worse (F =8.313, P <0.05). Moreover, the overexpression of SCCA2 mRNA was significantly correlated with lymph node metastases (t =2.853, P <0.05). The expression of SCCA2 mRNA was not correlated with age and pathological grading (P >0.05). However, the expression of SCCA1 mRNA was not correlated with age,FIGO stages, lymph node metastases and histological grade (P >0.05). Conclusion The expression of SCCA2 mRNA may provide help for more accurate diagnosis on the clinical stages and lymph node metastases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Twin-block appliance has been confirmed to efficiently change hard tissue and the profile of soft tissue.Whether a linear relationship exists between soft tissue and hard tissue changes remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the face convexity changes of soft and hard tissues after Twin-block appliance therapy and compare with controls.METHODS: Thirty-one class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion subjects with hand-wrist radiographs in FG-G stage were selected.Among the 31 patients,17 received Twin-block appliance therapy,serving as experimental group,and the remaining 14 subjects abandoned treatment,serving as control group.Cephalometric radiographs of each included subject were taken prior to and after treatment or observation.Face convexity of soft and hard tissues,as well as the face convexity changes,was compared between the experimental and control groups.Linear regression equation was employed to analyze the linear association between soft-and hard-tissue changes.Regression equations of experimental and control groups were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Prior to and after Twin-block appliance therapy,a significant correlation existed between the position changes of superior and inferior alveolar sockets relative to the nose and mandible,and the position changes of upper and lower lip pits relative to the nose and mandible,i.e.,there was a linear correlation between A-E change and Ss-E change,and between B-E change and Si-E change.The largest Pearson's correlation coefficient(0.839)appeared between Si-E change and B-E change,indicating the best correlativity between these two changes.Statistical analysis revealed that the linear equations of face convexity changes of soft and hard tissues after Twin-block appliance therapy were Si-E=0.745 B-E,Ss-E=0.276 A-E.These linear equations would be helpful to explain mandible growth and face convexity change after Twin-block appliance therapy and predict the prognosis of face convexity change.

BACKGROUND:Perioperative treatment of emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure is extremely different from common liver transplantation, due to complex conditions, high risk, several complications, and high mortality. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the experience of emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure during the perioperative period, and to increase the success rate in treatment of acute hepatic failure. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was undertaken on the clinical data of 38 cases undergone emergency liver transplantation for acute hepatic failure. There were 21 male and 17 female, who aged 15-69 years. Among them, 23 cases had hepatitis B virus (including 2 cases with hepatitis B and C virus), 7 cases had Wilsons disease, 3 cases had mushroom poisoning, 2 cases had unknown liver damage, 1 case had Tripterygium wilfordi poisoning, 1 case had decompensation after partial liver resection due to trauma, and 1 case had liver transplantation from corpse. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival time of the involve patients was 13-1 740 days, and the median survival time was 634 days. Perioperative survival rate was 76%, 1-year survival rate was 63%, and 2-year survival rate was 58%. During the perioperation nine cases died of brain edema and intracranial hypertension, renal failure, severe pulmonary infection, multiple organ failure, coagulation disorders (intracranial hemorrhage, upper digestive tract hemorrhage), acute respiratory distress syndrome and primary graft non-function. At present, emergency liver transplantation is stil the most effective way for acute liver failure. Hemorrhage, infection and rejection are the leading causes of the death. Each perioperative treatment is of great significance for the success of liver transplantation and long-term survival.

Objective To investigate the changes of the serum levels of necrosis alpha (TNF-o)and interleukin 10( IL-10 )in patients with hypertensive renal damage,and to study the correlation of TNF-α and IL-10 with the hypertensive renal damage. Methods Seventy three patients with primary hypertension were divided into two groups according to their urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER): simple hypertensive group( n = 37 ),hypertensive renal damage group(n =36). TNF-α and IL-10 were measured using radioimmune assay. Thirty normotensive healthy persons were selected as normotensive control group. Results TNF-α were significantly higher and IL-10 significantly lower in patients with essential hypertension than those in normotensive control group(TNF-α: [2.91 ±0.94]μg/L vs [0.98 ±0.35]μg/L,P<0. 05;IL-10:[ 19.2 ±5.8]μg/L vs [28.6±5. 7] μg/L,P <0. 01 ) ,and in patients with hypertension,those with renal damage had higher TNF-α and lower IL-10 than those without( TNF-α: [ 3.75 ± 0. 88 ] μg/L vs [ 1.87 ± 0. 58 ] μg/L, P < 0. 01; IL-10: [ 15. 4 ± 4. 3 ]μg/L vs [ 22. 5 ± 5.9 ] μg/L, P < 0. 01 ), with statistically significant difference between groups ( P < 0. 01 ).TN F-α and IL- 10 were found to have correlations with UAER ( r = 0. 703, P < 0. 001; r = - 0. 613, P < 0. 001 ),but no correlation with the level of blood pressure. Conclusion TNF-α increased and IL-10 decreased significantly in patients with hypertensive renal damage, which indicates that the imbalanced cytokine network may play a role in the pathological mechanisms of hypertensive renal damage.

Objective To evaluate the value of fecal high mobility group box-1 (HMGB 1 ) in early diagnosis and prediction of the severity of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Methods From July 2013 to June 2015 , the neonates who had distention, vomit, or gross blood in stool and were suspected of NEC were recruited as NEC group while hospitalized children without abdominal distension, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or other gastrointestinal symptoms were recruited as the control group. Stool samples were collected on day 1 , 3 , 5 and 7 after admission. The level of HMGB 1 was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results In the end, there were 46 cases in NEC group and 15 cases in control group. In NEC group, 29 cases were conifrmed of stageⅠof NEC by abdominal radiograph within 24 h after hospitalized, all of them were deteriorated to stageⅡphase in 4 days, and 10 cases were deteriorated to stageⅢ. Seventeen cases were conifrmed of stageⅡby abdominal radiograph within 24 h after hospitalized, 7 cases were deteriorated to stageⅢ. In 17 stageⅢcases, 11 cases received surgical treatment and 6 cases gave up. Eight cases survived and 3 died after surgery. The levels of HMGB 1 in NEC group on day 1 , 3 , 5 and 7 after hospitalized were higher than those in control group (P0 . 05 ). With the exacerbation of NEC from stage I toⅢ, the levels of HMGB 1 increased gradually (P0 . 05 ). Conclusions With the exacerbation of NEC, the level of HMGB 1 is gradually increased, which indicates that it has certain clinical value in early diagnosis and prediction of severity of NEC.

Objective To analyze the correlation between 18F-FDG SUV and immunohistochemical index including GLUT1, Ki-67, MVD, survivin and cyclinA in non-snall-cell lung cancer. Methods Thirty-three patients with NSCLC underwent preoperative PET/CT examination and surgical operation. All patients were divided into two groups according to the size of tumor (cutoff=3 cm), metastasis of mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes or not, and histological types of the cancer, respectively. The expression of GLUT1, Ki-67, MVD, survivin and cyclinA were estimated with SP immunohistochemical technique, and were analyzed statistically to reveal the correlation to FDG SUV. Results The rate of positive expression of GLUT1, Ki-67 and CD34 were 66.67%, 72.73% and 100%, respectively. The mean value of CD34 in all 33 patients was 12.6±2.9 (12-56). The rate of positive expression of survivin was 84.85%, and the corresponding data of cyclinA was 27.27%. Conclusion There is linear correlation between FDG PET SUV and GLUT1, but not between FDG PET SUV and Ki-67, MVD, survivin and cyclinA. The expressions of GLUT1, Ki-67, MVD, survivin and cyclinA are not related with the size of tumor, nor metastasis of lymph nodes. The expression of GLUT1 and Ki-67 is related with histological types of the cancer, but not with MVD, survivin and cyclinA.
