Wnt proteins,its receptors and regulators compose complex signaling pathways which are closely related to embryonic development,cell proliferation and differentiation,as well as tumour generation.In recent years,the involvement of Wnt signaling pathways in hepatocarcinogenesis has drawn the attention of international medical circles and been studied intensively.In this review,we summaries the interaction between Wnt signaling pathways and its regulators,the relationship between Wnt signaling pathways and cancerogenesis,angiogenesis,invasion and metabasis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the nursing experience during posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)reconstruction using LRAS artificial ligament under arthroscopy.Method The experience in nursing 51 cases of PCL reconstruction using LARS artificial ligament under arthroscopy from 2009 to 2012 was retrospectively summarized.Results It showed that KDC score of the 39 cases was excellent and 12 cases good,with the excellent and good rate of 100.0%.The average operation duration was(70.0±6.0)min and the average blood lose(50±3.6)ml.Conclusion Sufficient preparation before operation,much familiarity with LARS artificial ligament,skilled and accurate surgical cooperation are important factors for the success of PCL reconstruction using LARS artificial ligament under arthroscopy.

·AIM: To report two patients with Helveston syndrome who received surgical treatment.·METHODS: During last year in department of oph-thalmology in West China Hospital, the surgery was designed to correct A-exotropia by lateral rectus' weaken and vertical offsets, and dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) by superior rectus muscles recession simultaneously.·RESULTS: A-exotropia and DVD of the patients vanished six months after the surgery. Both patients were clinically cured.·CONCLUSION: As the degree of horizontal and vertical strabismus was in the allowed range, complete examination and full assessment of the function of the four muscles were performed before operation, single operation can be considered in the treatment of Helveston syndrome.

Objective To explore the solution to the secure problem of EMR based upon No.1 Military Medical Project.Methods The existing EMR system provides medical records service and the EMR are stored and managed in ordinary or established file format in the database server.Based upon above database characters related to EMR and the requirement of EMR security,the MRBACKUP system was developed to resolve EMR backup,recovery and dump.Results The MRBACKUP system safeguarded the security of EMR in the lowest cost,the least system resources and the highest efficiency.Conclusion The new secure solution to EMR can better resolve the security problems in the widely-used EMR in hospitals.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in localization and etiologic diagnosis of suspected pacemaker-related infection(SPRI).Methods Fifteen SPRI patients (10males,5 females,age range:45-86 years) were included in this retrospectively study.18F-FDG uptake in device-related region and abnormal 18F-FDG uptake out of the device region were visually interpreted.Final diagnosis was decided according to modified Duke's criteria and imaging interpretation.Diagnostic efficiency of 18 F-FDG PET/CT on SPRI was evaluated.Results Of 7 patients with suspected pocket infection,5 patients had hot spot of 18F-FDG in the pocket site,either in superficial skin and/or deep soft tissue.Of 9 patients with suspected infective endocarditis,a diffuse FDG uptake was demonstrated in 3 patients in the area of left atrium,right atrium,and right ventricle;another 3 patients had abnormal FDG uptake in other sites rather than in the implantation regions,and the rest 3 showed negative PET/CT results.In patients with SPRI,18F-FDG PET/CT diagnosed 7 cases of pocket infection,8 cases of infective endocarditis,14 cases of pacemaker-related infection.Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging is useful in localization and etiologic diagnosis in SPRI patients.It might guide the clinical SPRI management.

Objective:To construct a recombinant retroviral vector carrying human inducible costimulator (ICOS) gene,screen for CHO cell line stably expressing ICOS protein and to study its biological activity.Methods: ICOS cDNA was obtained from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) through RT-PCR and was cloned into retroviral vector to construct retroviral recombinant pMSCV-ICOS; the latter was then packed and the high-titer virus producing cells were screened.Then CHO cell was infected by this high-titer virus and the stable cell line was screened.CHO-ICOS cells were co-cultured with PBMC (the ratio of CHO-ICOS to PBMC being 11,12,15, and 110) in presence of substimulating dose of anti-human CD3 antibody.The proliferation of PBMC and the CD25 expression on T cells were examined by 3H-TdR incorporation method and flow cytometry,respectively.CHO-pMSCV cells co-cultured with PBMC (11) served as the negative control and PBMC served as blank control.Results: We successfully constructed the retroviral recombinant pMSCV-ICOS and obtained CHO cell line stably expressing ICOS protein.3H-TdR incorporation method and flow cytometry showed that,compared with the negative control group and the blank control group,co-culture with CHO-ICOS cells significantly inhibited the anti-CD3 antibody-induced activation and proliferation of PBMC(P

Objective:To find out the role of JNK/SAPK signaling-transduction pathway in the effect of elemene against hepatocarcinoma, offering the clue to ilustrate the molecular mechanisms of antitumor effects of elemene. Methods: The detection of the distribution of elemene in Hca-F cells was detected by gas chomatography and apoptotic changes in elemene treated. SMMC7721 cells were examined by TEM. After elemene treatment, the activation of JNK/SAPK in HepG2 cellls and the DAXX gene expression in SMMC7721 cells were detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR respectively. Results: Gas chomatography showed that elemene was detected at 8. 42 minute. The SMMMC7721 cells treated by elemene for 3 hours began to show typical apoptotic changes . The JNK/SAPK activity in HepG2 cell treated with heat shock was the highest of all groups and the group treated with elemene was the next and the control group is the lowest one. There was no DAXX gene expression in SMMC7721 cells treated with elemene. Conclusion: Elemene can diffuse into cells. Tumor cell apoptosis treated with elemene may be induced by JNK/SAPK activating and DAXX signal pathway may not play key role in JNK/SAPK activation induced by elemene.

Objective To evaluate the value of diagnosis of NOF by plain film and CT.Methods Radiographic and CT findings in 14 patients (male 11,female 3;age range,9～51 years)with non-ossifying fibroma proved pathologically and surgically were analysed.Results The age of 9 patients (64.3%)was between 10 and 20 years.Most of non-ossifying fibromas occured in lower extremity,especially around the knee.The X-ray findings could be divided into two types:(1)Cortical type(6 cases);(2)Medullary type(8 cases).The CT signs included:(1)Local destruction of the adjacent cortex;(2)Bone septum;(3)Well-defined sclerotic edge near the medulla.Conclusion Most of the NOF of bone can be diagnosed correctly by radiography and CT.
