Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of typhoid intestinal perforation(TIP). Methods The clinical data of 30 cases of TIP treated in our hospital from 1978 to 1998 were retrospectively analysed. Results All 30 cases were performed emergency laparotomy exploration. Of them, 16 cases underwent suture of the perforation, 9 enterectomy and intestinal anastomosis, and 5 exteriorization of intestine. After operation, 2 cases had infection and disruption of incisional wound, 1 pulmonary infection, 1 toxic myocarditis and 4 intestinal fistula. 26 cases curred, 4 cases died including toxic shock in 1 case, intestinal fistula and concomitant asthenia universalis in 3 cases. Conclusions Early diagnosis, early operation and choosing suitable operative procedure are important to reducing the mortality of TIP.

Amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2/neu (HER2/neu) gene and overexpression of the HER2 protein (HER2) have been shown to occur in gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma in a number of studies.With a dismal survival rate,patients with these cancers stand to benefit from the identification of possible molecular targets such as HER2 for both prognostic and therapeutic purposes.Although these and other carcinomas that overexpress HER2 may have a poorer prognosis and exhibit resistance to conventional chemo-therapy,they have also recently been shown to respond to targeted therapy with the anti-HER2 antibody Trastuzumab.Here,the author briefly review the molecular biology,histopathology,diagnostic techniques,and interpretation,as well as the clinical implications of HER2 amplification/overexpression in gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To study B cells proliferation and activation induced by tumor derived-autophagosomes ( TDA). Methods:Splenocytes of mice were incubated with 10μg/ml TDAs in vitro ( with the 10μg/ml whole cell lysate as the control).At the 3rd day,the expression of MHCⅠ,Ⅱand co-stimulate molecules including CD86,CD40 were detected by flow cytometry,and B cells proliferation was detected at the 5th day.B cells were selected from spleen of mice using anti-CD43 dynabeads,and incubated with 10μg/ml TDA in vitro ( with the same concentrated whole tumor cell lysate as the control).At the 7th day,IgM in the supernatant were tested by ELISA.Results:When compared with whole cell lysate stimulated B cells,TDA efficently stimulated B cells division in vitro ( TDA group:28.6%, Whole cell lysate group:4.4%) , and significantly up-regulated the expression of MHC class Ⅰ,Ⅱ and co-stimulatory molecules (CD86 and CD40) on B cells,and enhanced the levels of total IgM secretion in vitro.Conclusion:Tumor-derived autophagosomes ( TDA) ,as a vacuole antigen vector, could stimulate B cells proliferation, activation, and increased IgM secretion in vitro.

To investigate the effects of human anti-BAFF scFv-Fc against the hsBAFF, ICR mice were randomly divided into six groups: control, hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)), hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + Ab (1 mg x kg(-1)), hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + Ab (2 mg x kg(-1)), hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + human IgG (1 mg x kg(-1)) and hsBAFF (1 mg x kg(-1)) + human IgG (2 mg x kg(-1)) groups. The effects of scFv-Fc administration on the proliferation of B lymphocytes were evaluated using an MTT assay. The titres of antibody in the serum and B lymphocytes differentiation were assessed by ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. The results showed that administration of scFv-Fc to mice injected with hsBAFF significantly prevented human BAFF-induced increases in splenic B cell numbers and serum immunoglobulin levels. Furthermore, this fully human antibody would avoid inducing the human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response when used in humans. These findings suggest that the compact antibody may be useful in therapeutic or diagnostic application of the BAFF-associated autoimmune diseases in human.

Re?sults The functions of the platform mainly included real?time monitoring of the environment in CFSCP area,and early warning of the crisis status of O. hupensis snails,as well as editing the map of snail distribution,query,spatial analysis and other GIS functions. Conclusion This platform could provide the scientific support to the forestry administrative department of the CF?SCP area.

Objective: To study stress distribution and displacement by different distract directioos on mandibular corpus with finite element method. Methods:A three-dimensional finite element model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis was established.Von Mises stress as well as the displac ement of gnathion and gonion under different loads were measured. Result s:The stress and displacement were positively related with distract forc e. Von Mises stress primarily accumulated in distracted areas and were higher un der bilateral distraction parallel to the occlusial plane. Gnathion and gonion w ere positively displaced on X and Z axes and negatively displaced on Y axis. Distraction parallel to the mandibular body induced positive displaceme nt of mandible on X and Y axes and negative on Z axis. Concl usion:Transversal displacement to the opposite side is greater during un ilateral distraction, while displacement on the saggittal plane is greater durin g bilateral distraction.

Objective To investigate the pathological significance of DEK-AP-2α interaction in HER2 overexpres-sion and breast tumorigenesis. Methods The protein level of DEK,AP-2α and HER-2 in breast tumor tissues was detected by Western blot. The interaction of DEK and AP-2α in MDA-MB-453 mammary cancer cells was detected by immuno-coprecipitation. Furthermore the impact of DEK and AP-2α on HER2 expression was investigated by siRNA in MDA-MB-453 mammary cancer cells followed by semi-quantitive RT-PCR and Western blot. Results A correlation between DEK, AP-2α and HER2 levels in breast cancer tissues were found. The interaction between DEK and AP-2α in MDA-MB-453 cells was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. Depletion of DEK and AP-2α in MDA-MB-453 cell by siRNA cooperatively repressed HER2 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Conclusion Oncogene DEK has synergestic effect with AP-2α transcriptional factor to promote HER2 overexpres-sion in breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and currently treatment status of intractable ulcerative colitis (IUC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of inflammatory bowel disease patients, who were hospitalized in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, from January 1999 to December 2009. According to the reaction to glucosteroids (GCS) treatment, they were divided into GCS effective group and intractable group. The general data, lesion, clinical symptoms and laboratory findings of these two groups were compared.Further treatments and the results of intractable group were analyzed. Results Totally 234 UC patients were enrolled, of which 37.6％ (88/234) patients received GCS treatment, intractable group and effective group took up 23.9％ (21/88) and 76.1％ (67/88) respectively. There was no significant difference of lesion between two groups (P＞0.05). Compared with effective group, the proportion of intractable group was higher in moderately severe bellyache[38. 1 ％ (8/21) vs 13. 4％ (9/67), P＝0.012, OR＝3.97, 95％CI:1.29～12.23], anemia[61.9％(13/21) vs 32.8％(22/67), P＝0.018,OR＝3.32, 95％CI:1.20～9.20], thrombocytosis[57.1％(12/21) vs 29.9％(20/67), P＝0.023,OR＝3.13, 95％ CI: 1.14 ～8.61]and hypoalbuminemia[38.1 ％ (8/21) vs 11.9％ (8/67), P＝0.007, OR＝4.54, 95％CI: 1.44～ 14.32]. Some patients of intractable group could be remission through extending period of GCS treatment, adding the immunomodulators or biological agents and intestinal segment excision. Conclusion UC patients with moderately severe bellyache, anemia,thrombocytosis, hypoalbuminemia at the onset of disease, which may indicate relatively poor response to GCS treatment. Immunomodulators, biological agents and surgery are the further treatment for IUC patients.
