Objective: To investigate the expression of survivin in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and analyze its relationship with clinic opathological features and the expression of p53. Methods: The expression of survivin and p53 in 61 cases of NSCLC were detected by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies against human survivin protein and P53, respectively. Results: The expression of survivin in NSCLC could be detected in cytoplasm and/or in nucleus. The overall immunoreactivity was found in 77.0% (47/61) of tumors. Cytoplasmic, nuclear and both immunoreactivities were present in 26.2% (16/61), 8.2% (5/61) and 42.62%(26/61) respectively. The cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivities in squamous cell carcinoma (57.6%, 19/33) were higher than that in adenocarcinoma (25%, 7/28) and there was significant difference (P

MiR-200 family is a cluster of miRNAs closely linked to EMT. The miR-200 family contains miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-141 and miR-429. Many studies have shown that miR-200 family are key regulators of EMT and determine the epithelial phenotype. They are important to both EMT development and tumor progression. This paper reviews the advancement in the research of miR-200 family and its mechanism.

In order to deepen the reform of public hospitals,Beijing Tongren Hospital has carried out the pilot effort of famous experts team service model in out-patient,established a new mode of interior hierarchical medical services in the hospital.Through the adjustment of outpatient service process and the change of service model,issues of difficult medical treatment and ticket scalpers were solved.The reform has achieved the optimal utilization of outpatient resources inside the hospital,has been the beneficial exploration and practice of hospital internal hierarchical diagnosis and treatment,truly reflected the hospital service concept of taking the patient as the center,and has laid a solid foundation for the future widely hierarchical diagnosis and treatment mode.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of heterotopic pancreas. Methods A total of 21 histologically confirmed cases of heterotopic pancreas were treated in our Department from 1986 to 1998. We retrospectively analyzed the major clinical symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnostic procedure, results of operation and pathological findings. Results Among all the patients, 9 presenting with severe symptoms were surgically treated and the prognosis was fine. Of the 9 patients, 5 had epigastric pain, 2 obstructive and 2 massive digestive hemorrhage. The other 12 asymptomatic cases were followed up for 1.8 to 12 years. It was difficult to diagnose the disease by clinical situation, observation and imaging examination and only pathological examination could provide the final diagnosis. Conclusions Cases of heterotopic pancreas with symptoms should be surgically managed and the results of resection is satisfactory. Long term follow up needs to be conducted for those asymptomatic cases.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of albtrans retinoic acid (atRA)attenuating cardiac allograft vasculopathy and myocardial fibrosis. Methods With inbred Wistar rats as donors and Sprague Dawley (SD) rats as recipients, heterotopic heart transplantation model was rejection group received same doses of cyclosporine A for 60 days. Grafts were removed on the day 60 post-transplant. Paraffin-embedded sections of cardiac allograft were stained with Masson's trichrome and Van Gieson for examination of myocardial fibrosis and vascular stenosis. Immunohistochemistry was performed to observe CD68 positive cell infiltration. Platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A)mRNA was detected by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The index of fibrosis in chronic rejection group and atRA-treated group was 64. 0 ± 11.9 and 34. 7 ±6. 3 respectively with the significant difference (P<0. 01). Chronic rejection all,grafts showed severe vessel disease. The luminal occlusion index of coronary arteries in chronic rejection group was 62. 9 4± 17. 2, and 40. 1± 8. 2 in atRA-treated group with significant difference (P<0. 01). CD68-positive cell count in atRA-treated group and chronic rejection group was 17. 6 4± 4. 2 and 32. 1 ± 9. 3 with significant difference (P<0. 01). The relative expression levels of PDGF-A mRNA in atRA-treated group and chronic rejection group were 0. 46 ± 0. 08 and 0. 94 4±0. 11 respectively with significant difference (P<0. 01). Conclusion AtRA attenuates cardiac all,graft vasculopathy and myocardial fibrosis. The effects might be induced by inhibition of CD68 positive cell infiltration and PDGF-A mRNA expression.

Objective To study preventive measures against conversions to open surgery during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods The study was based on 25 cases of conversions to laparotomy out of 852 cases of LC(2.93%)from December 1999 to October 2005 in this hospital.The clinical data revealed a bile duct injury in 3 cases,bleeding in 1 case,severe adhesion in abdominal cavity or between the gallbladder and neighboring tissues in 9 cases,disturbed anatomy and adhesion in the region of the Calot's triangle in 5 cases,cholecystoduodenal fistula in 2 cases,and Mirizzi syndrome(type Ⅱ)in 5 cases.Results The conversion to open surgery was successfully completed in all the 25 cases.No complication was encountered.Follow-up examinations for 1～2 years showed no bile duct stenosis.Conclusions Proper preoperative patient selection and use of intraoperative preventive measures are helpful to minimize the possibility of conversion to open surgery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of the thrombus aspirated catheter (DIVER~(TM)) in primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction. Methods Seventy four AMI patients with total occluded infarct-related coronary artery(IRA)and intra-coronary thrombus from March 2005 to April 2006 were divided into two groups according to admission time and the treatment they received. After the 0.014 in BMW coronary wire crossed the lesion, the thrombus aspirated catheter (DIVERTM) was advanced over the wire to the lesion and continuously aspirated 2-3 times until the thrombus disappeared and stents were directly implanted in patients in group A (n=36) admitted from December 2005 to April 2006. Routine PCI applied in patients in group B (n=38) admitted from March 2005 to December 2005. Sirolimus eluting stents were implanted in both groups. The artery re-opened rate, no-reflow rate and the rate of major adverse cardiac events during hospitalization and 6 months after discharge were compared between two groups. Results Coronary arteriography showed the artery re-opened rate was 100% in both groups. The rates of no-reflow and major adverse cardiac events during hospital stay were significantly lower in group A than those in group B (2.78% vs 21.05% and 2.78% vs 10.53% respectively,P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cutting ballon angioplasty (CBA) in small vessel diffuse lesion Methods 44 patients with 48 lesions underwent successful coronary angioplasty with cutting ballon angioplasty Results All of the lesions were treated successfully by 4 6?2 4 times dilation of cutting ballon The total duration of ballon inflation was (227 4?102 3) s The lesions were dilated at a pressure up to (901 8?222 9) kPa The severity of vascular stenosis lessened obviously [(88 6?7 9)% vs (16 8?15 4)%, P =0 001] without severe complications Conclusion Cutting ballon angioplasty (CBA) on small vessel diffuse lesion is safty and effective
