Objective To study the relationship between the fbxl 20 gene、E-cadherin gene and the clinocopathologic features ,respectively , and the correlation about the fbxl 20 and the set gene .Methods The mRNA expression level of fbxl 20 and E-cadherin gene in 50 pairs of human colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues and matched normal tissues were detected by RT -PCR.Results The mRNA expression level of fbxl 20 gene in tumor tissues were significantly increased than that in normal tissues (0.479 ±0.141 vs.0.296 ±0.121,P=0.001),while the E-cadherin were decreased (0.440 ±0.026 vs.0.741 ±0.059,P=0.000).There was no found on the correlation between the mRNA expression level of fbxl 20 and the E-cadherin gene in the 50 tumor tissues(r=-0.165,P=0.251).However,the E-cadherin expressed level was negatively correlated with the fbxl 20 expressed level in the lower differentiation degree、in the high differentiation degree and the Duke′s D tumor tissues(r=-0.600,P=0.008;r=-0.784,P=0.017;r=-0.643,P=0.032).Conclusions The decreased mRNA expression level of E -cadherin in tumor tissues are largely due to the increased fbxl 20 gene expressed level ,which is related with the high mobility and invasion ability of the advanced tumor .

Objective To observe the oral part of the facial artery and facial vein and to provide anatomical data for clinical applica-tion. Methods The origin, branches, course, diameter, position of oral part of facial artery and facial vein were observed on 32 fixed cada-ves (64 sides). Results The position relation between the facial artery and facial vein is non-constant. Measure the distance from inferior border of mandible to corner of the mouth, angulus mandibulae, mental protuberance midpoint. It is (5. 49 ± 0. 63) cm, (2. 50 ± 0. 89) cm and (6. 20 ± 1. 68) cm in the left side respectively, and (5. 69 ± 0. 72) cm, (2. 56 ± 1. 08) cm and (6. 85 ± 1. 86) cm in the right side re-spectively. The diameter of facial artery in inferior border of mandible is (0. 33 ± 0. 08) cm in the left side and (0. 38 ± 0. 07) cm in the right side;while the diameter of facial vein is (0. 40 ± 0. 12) cm in the left side and (0. 42 ± 0. 18) cm in the right side. The facial artery and facial vein are not concomitant and they are not asymmetry also. The position of superior labial artery arteries is constant, but the position of inferior labial artery arteries have more variations. Conclusion The branches, course, diameter and position of oral part of facial artery and facial vein have a number of variations. The superior labial artery arteries could be positioned more easily than inferior labial artery arter-ies. Being familiar with their distribution is of great importance for clinical application.
