Objective:To explore the effects of NOD2 gene on the proliferation and apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells.Methods:NOD2 expression vector(NOD2-pEZ-M29)and NOD2-shRNA vector were established,then were trans-fected into Tca8113 cells respectively.Expressions of HBD-2 and NOD2 in the cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.Cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay and apoptosis by flow cytometry at 48h post transfection.Results:Compared with the control group,the expression of NOD2 and HBD-2 in NOD2-pEZ-M29 transfection group was significantly higher and markedly lower in NOD2-shRNA group.The proliferation rate of Tca8113 cells was markedly lower in NOD2-pEZ-M29 transfection group and signifi-cantly higher in NOD2-shRNA group while the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in NOD2-pEZ-M29 transfection group and sig-nificantly lower in NOD2-shRNA group.Conclusion:In Tca8113 cells NOD2 expression was positively correlated with HBD-2 ex-pression.NOD2 gene may promote the apoptosis,inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113 cells.

Objective:To establish a method for the detection of 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of RAC1 gene,and to analyze the genotypic and allelic distributions of the 8 SNPs in healthy Chinese Han population.Methods:The real-time fluorescence TaqMan-MGB probes allele classification technology was used for the determination of the 8 SNPs in 150 cases of healthy volunteers in Hubei China ,and the results were validated by direct gene sequencing.Results: The method established in this study can accurately screen the genotypes of the 8 SNPs of human RAC1 gene.Highly linkage disequilibriums were found between rs 10951982 and rs9374 , rs702482 and 836488 ,respectively.All the 8 sits were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.Six Tag-SNPs were selected by Heploview software:rs10951982 ,rs6954996 ,rs6951997 ,r1s2977 ,rs702482 and rs702483.The MAFs of the 8 SNPs in our study were close to the MAFs in CHB and Asian in Hap Map database .Significant distribution differences were also observed in different races.Conclusion:No significant differences are observed in this study in healthy Chinese Han population.But differences are found when compared with the data of other races in Hap Map.

Objective To establish a method based on 3D printing radiology equivalent phantom for individual radiotherapy dose verification,and to offer an assurance for the safety of 3D conformal radiotherapy.Methods Two patients' CT data was collected,reconstructing the first patient's skull and brain tissue to generate a skull-brain phantom for the purpose of testing the equivalent material.The second patient's data was used for whole head tissue reconstruction to produce a head phantom with equivalent material.By inserting ionization chamber dosimeters to target region for radiotherapy program,equivalent phantom dose distribution of lesions location was obtained in order to verify and calibrate the actual radiation treatment planning for patients.Results DR,CT images of the phantoms revealed that the difference of X-ray gray value between brain skull phantom and patient's skull was 13 721,CT value difference between equivalent tissue of brain skull phantom and that part of the patient was 35-40 HU,and CT difference between head phantom temporalis and that of the patient tissue was 18-28 HU.The imaging data indicated that the radiation equivalence of 3D printing phantom was similar to that of human body tissue,and the equivalent dose distribution accorded well with the normal range of treatment.The dose verification of phantom model can effectively improve the accuracy of the radiotherapy system.Conclusions The personalized radiotherapy phantom which based on the 3D printing and tissue equivalent technology is suitable for personalized radiation therapy validation.With advantages of easy accessibility,highly-personalized degree and high precision,this technology provides a reliable and safe way for radiation therapy.

Objective:
: Ischemia and hemorrhage of pituitary adenomas (PA) caused important clinical syndrome. However, the differences on clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes between these two kinds apoplexy were less reported.
Methods:
: A retrospective analysis was made of patients with pituitary apoplexy between January 2013 and June 2018. Baseline and clinical characteristics before surgery were reviewed. All patients underwent transsphenoidal surgery and were followed up at least 1 year.
Results:
: Total 67 cases (5.8%) among 1147 pituitary tumor patients were enrolled, which consisted of 28 (~2.4%) ischemic PA and 39 (~3.4%) hemorrhagic PA. There were more male patients in the ischemic group compared with hemorrhagic group (78.6% vs 53.8%, p=0.043). However, the mean age, tumor size and functional tumor ratio were significant higher in the hemorrhagic group. Headache was more common in ischemic PA (82.1%) than that of hemorrhagic PA (51.3%, p=0.011). Magnetic resonance imaging findings found that mucosal thickening and enhancement of the sphenoid sinus was observed in 15 ischemic PA patients (n=27, 55.6%), but none in patients with hemorrhagic PA (n=38, p<0.0001). It was worth noting that the rate of pre-surgical hypopituitarism in ischemic PA patients were seemed higher than that in hemorrhagic PA patients, but not significant. The two groups got a total tumor resection rate at 94.1% and 92.9%, independently. No significant difference on the operative time, blood loss in operation and complications in perioperative period was observed in two groups. After operation, cranial nerve symptoms recovered to normal at 81.8% of ischemic PA patients and 82.6% of hemorrhagic PA patients. Importantly, the incidence of postoperative hypopituitarism partially decreased in both groups, among which the rate of hypothyroidism in ischemic PA patients significantly decreased from 46.4% to 18.5% (p=0.044).
Conclusion
: Patients with ischemic PA presented different clinical characteristics to the hemorrhagic ones. Transsphenoidal surgery should be considered for the patients with neuro-ophthalmic deficits and might benefit for pituitary function recovery of the apoplectic adenoma patients, especially pituitary thyroid axis in ischemic PA patients.
