Objective The author investigated the clinical features of the the patients with acute pancreatitis and hyperlipaemia (hypertriglyceridaemia),in order to intensify the knowledge of the condition.Methods Forty-three patients with acute pancreatitis were randomly selected and assigned into 2 grups,i.e.,those with hyperlipaemia (11cases) and those with billiary type (32 cases).Results Among the 43 cases,7 were acute necrotizing pancreatitis (5 in hyperlipaemia group).Enumeration correlation demonstrated significant positive correlation between hyperglyceridaemia and the necrotizing type of acute pancreatitis (? 2=6.58,P)or diabetics were significantly higher in hyperglyceridaemia group than in acute billiary pancreatitis group, and so was the life-threatening complications.Conclusion ①Hyperglyceridaemia bears significant positive correlation to the necrotizing type of acute pancreatitis and its life-threatening complications as well.②Diet control,reducing body weight and application of anti-hyperlipaemia drugs will be helpful in prevention and treatment of the relapse of the disease.

Objective: To express the protein of HPV18E6 based on pET-32a(+) at high level and study the expression and significance of HPV18E6 proteins in laryngeal carcinoma. Methods: The HPV18E6 gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into pET-32a(+). The amplified fragment was inserted into the plasmid pET32a (+) that was digested with BamHⅠand Hind Ⅲ. The recombinant plasmid pET32/E6 was transformed into E.coli JM109 which was selected with ampicillin. The recombinant plasmids were successfully introduced into E.coli BL21(DE 3) and were induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis were used to detect the confusion protein. Finally, the optimization of expression conditions, such as temperature, concentration of IPTG, was studied. Results: The recombinant plasmids were identified and confirmed with enzyme digestion and sequencing. The BL21(DE3) transformed recombinant plasmid pET32/E6 had expressed HPV18E6 recombinant protein effectively. The optimum conditions of expression were 37 ℃, 1 mmol/L IPTG. Conclusion:Prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-HPV18E6 was successfully constructed. The high-level expression of HPV18E6 was achieved in E.coli BL21(DE3).

Objective:To investigate the expression of sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and its clinical significance in breast invasive ductal carcinoma ( BIDC).Methods: We detected SphK1 expression in 58 samples of surgically resected paired BIDC and normal tumor-adjacent tissues samples by using immunohistochemistry.The correlation between SphK 1 expression and clinicopathologic features was analyzed.Results: The positive expression rate of SphK 1 in BIDC tissues was 69.0% ( 40/58 ) , while its positive expression rate in normal tumor-adjacent was 17.2% (10/58),the difference was statistical significance (χ2=31.636,P=0.000). Clinicopathological evaluation suggested that SphK 1 positive expression was associated with ER negative (χ2=4.392,P=0.036),PR negative (χ2=7.920 , P=0.005 ) , lymph node metastasis (χ2 =5.033 , P=0.025 ) and tumor stage (χ2 =7.117 , P=0.008 ) . Conclusion:The high-expression of SphK1 is correlated with the poor clinicopathological features in BIDC ,suggesting SphK1 may play a key role in development and progression of BIDC.

Prokaryotic expression vector of mouse HPV16E6 gene was constructed. A pair of primers were designed according to the digestion sites in plasmid pGEX-KG and the HPV16E6 gene sequence published by GenBank. The DNA fragment of 321bp was amplified by PCR from the HPV recombinant plasmid with HPV16E6 gene, then cloned into pGEX-KG and transformed into the host E. coli strain JM109. The fragment was conformed to the original sequence, which indicated that fusion expression vector pGEX-KG-HPV16E6 was constructed. The pGEX-KG-HPV16E6 plasmid was taken and transformed into BL21(DE3) for expression. Induced by IPTG at 37 degrees C, the expression product of HPV16E6 gene was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. HPV16E6 fusion protein had been expressed successfully in the form of inclusion bodies, the molecular weight of fusion protein being 38 kD. Meanwhile, the optimum condition of HPV16E6 fusion protein expression was induced with 1.0 mmol/L IPTG for 4h. The fusion protein reacted specifically with the antibodies against HPV16E6. HPV16E6 gene was successfully expressed in E. coli, which could be used as a basis for preparing HPV16E6 vaccine in human.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of superficial neoplasia associated with submucosal tumor (SMT) located at the same position and the efficacy of endoscopic super minimally invasive surgery (SMIS).Methods:Data of 9 patients who were diagnosed as having superficial neoplasia associated with SMT at the same position in the upper digestive tract and treated with digestive endoscopic SMIS at the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2011 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Data including basic information, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment, pathological results and follow-up of these patients were collected to analyze their clinicopathological characteristics. The postoperative pathology and incidence of complications were used as the gold standard to assess the effectiveness and safety of SMIS.Results:In the 9 patients, there were 8 males and 1 female with mean age of 61.6±11.7 years. The main symptoms were abdominal pain in 3 cases, abdominal discomfort in 2 cases, and dysphagia in 1 case. Seven patients were diagnosed as having superficial neoplasia before surgery, while SMT was found during surgery. One patient with superficial neoplasia associated with SMT and 1 with SMT were diagnosed before the surgery. The common sites of the lesion were esophagus (3 cases), gastric antrum (3 cases), cardia (2 cases) and fundus (1 case). The Paris classification of all lesions was type Ⅰ, Ⅱa or combinations. The most common pathological type was early cancer with leiomyoma in 5 cases. All lesions met the criteria of en bloc resection. One lesion had positive lateral margin with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, four were all completely resected. No complications such as bleeding, perforation or infection occurred in this study. Follow-up date were available in all cases with a mean period of 19-81 months and no recurrence or metastasis was discovered.Conclusion:The symptoms of patients with superficial neoplasia associated with SMT located at the same position are often atypical. The endoscopic type of lesions is usually protrusion or partial protrusion. Most are diagnosed as having superficial neoplasia before the surgery, and SMT are usually found coincidentally. The most common pathological type is early cancer with leiomyoma. SMIS is safe and effective for the complex lesion.
