Objective: Expression of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoproteins was tested in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) in order to find the relationship between the two genes and LSCC, and to explrore their clinical significance by retrospectively study of pathological and clinical doouments. Methods: Immunohistochemical S\|P method was emioyed in testing the expression of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoproteins in 74 patients with LSCC, 24 laryngeal atypical hyperplasis (LAH) and 24 laryngeal normal membrane (LNM). Results: Bcl\|2 oncoprotein was mainly expressed in cytoplasm of epithelium cells and a small part of cell membrances were stained, appearing brow or yellow, granular distribution.There were no expression in the cell nuclear and stroma. Bax oncoprotein was expressed in cytoplasm and cell membrane and there were a little expression in stroma, appearing light brown and yellow, granular distribution. Bax was less stained than Bcl\|2. The positive expression percentages of Bcl\|2 oncoprotein in LSCC, LAH, LNM tissues were 59.46%,66.67% and 20.83% respectively. The Bcl\|2 expressions in LSCC, LAH tissues were significantly higher than that in LNM (P<0.05); The positive expression percentages of Bax oncoprotein in these three groups were 56.76%, 50.0% and 66.67% respectively which were no significant difference. The results of Spearman correlated analysis showed that expression of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoproteins had no obvious correlations with pathological grade, clinical stage and metastasis of lymph node. Both were correlated only with smoking. Conclusions: The imbalance of Bcl\|2/Bax mainly induced by the high expression of Bcl\|2 oncoprotein played an important role in the development of LSCC and LAH, Bcl\|2 may act as a reference index in judging the biological speciality of LSCC; Expressions of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoprotein had obvious corelation with smoking in LSCC, indicating Bcl\|2 and Bax genes may be a target of carcinogenic substance in tobacco; Expression of Bcl\|2 oncoprotein was blocked may be an important part in studying gene therapy for the future.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:From July 2014 to October 2017, patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to Jiangsu Shengze Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were enrolled retrospectively. Their demographic and baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected. The modified Rankin Scale was used to evaluate the clinical outcome at 3 months after the onset of symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between SCH and clinical outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Results:A total of 200 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 107 males (53.5%) and 93 females (46.5%). Their age was 69.67±11.38 years. There were 45 patients (22.5%) with SCH, 160 (80.0%) with good outcomes, and 40 (20.0%) had poor outcomes. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, stroke etiology classification and the proportion of patients with SCH between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high NIHSS score (odds ratio 2.884, 95% confidence interval 2.005-4.147; P=0.001) and SCH (odds ratio 19.527, 95% confidence interval 2.334-163.386; P=0.006) were the independent risk factors for poor outcomes. Conclusion:High NIHSS score and SCH were associated with the poor outcomes at 3 months after the onset of acute ischemic stroke.
