Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2014;(3):358-362
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of TMPRSS4 and clinical pathologi-cal parameters in gastric carcinoma. To explore its significance in judging the prognosis of patients. To analyze the expression of TMPRSS4 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Methods The expressions of TMPRSS4, E-cad-herin and Vimentin were detected by immunohistochemistry ( SABC) in 100 cases of gastric carcinoma specimens and corresponding adjacent normal tissue. Results In gastric carcinoma, TMPRSS4, E-cadherin and Vimentin positive rate was 47%,45%,37%. In adjacent tissues,their positive rate was 9%,30%,4%. The differences be-tween tumor tissues and adjacent tissues had statistical significance ( P<0.05 ) . High expression of TMPRSS4 cor-related significantly with lymph node metastases and TNM stage (P<0.05), but not with gender, age, size, tumor histological type,depth of invasion (P>0.05). The 5-year survival rate of patients with high TMPRSS4 expression was significantly lower than that in patients with low expression. The high TMPRSS4 expression was significantly correlated in gastric carcinoma accompanied by low expression of E-cadherin (rs = -0.207,P=0.038) and high Vimentin expression (rs=0.233,P=0.020). Conclusion The expression of TMPRSS4 is closely related to the biological characteristics in gastric carcinoma,detection the expression of TMPRSS4 is valuable in predicting tumor prognosis,invasion and metastasis. TMPRSS4 may promote invasion, metastasis of human gastric carcinoma through epithelial-mesenchymal transition by reduce the expession of E-cadherin.

3.Detection of alpha-fetoprotein messenger RNA in peripheral blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Current Advances in General Surgery 1999;0(03):-
Objective:To determine whether alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) messenger RNA(mRNA),a specifically hepatocyte-expressed gene,could be a marker of metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods:Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 30 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).A sensitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR) technique was used to detect the human AFP mRNA in the blood.Results:Of the 30 HCC patients,14(46.7%) patients had positive AFP mRNA.The presence of AFP mRNA correlated with the TNM clinical stages,the size of tumor,extrahepatic metastasis or with portal vein carcinothrombosis(P0.05).Conclusion:The positive of AFP mRNA in the peripheral blood can indicate the presence of hematogenous metastasis in patients with HCC.
4.The effect of tamoxifen(TAM)in the chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and its mechanism.
Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2006;0(S1):-
Objective To investigate The effect of TAM(2.5 uM)in the chemotherapy of HCC and its mechanism. Methods An adriamycin-resistant human HCC cell subline(Hep-3B/ADM)was established,through exposure to gradually increased concentration of ADM.Drug sensitivity was measured by MTT.Modulation of ADM-induced apop- tosis of Hep-3B/ADM cells was assessed by Flow cytometry(FCM).PKC activity was determined by applying compet- itive protein binding method.Results TAM(2.5uM )decreased the IC50 of ADM from 1.64?g/mL to 0.23?g/mL in the Hep-3B/ADM cells.TAM exhibited a 2-fold potentiation on apoptosis caused by ADM in Hep-3B/ADM cells.With TAM,PKC activity was lower than that in control groups from 30 seconds to 24 hours.But this effect of TAM could be reversed by the co-treatment of the cells with TPA.Conclusion TAM(2.5 uM)significantly en- hanced ADM-induced cytotoxicity.The mechanism is that TAM potentiates the apoptosis induced by ADM through pro- tein kinase C inhibition.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(03):-
The effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) and verapamil(Ver)on hemo-dynamics of internal carotid artery and superior mesenteric artery were determined and compared in anesthetized Sprague ~ Dawley strain rats. PNS 30-150 mg ? kg-1 iv was shown to reduce the mean blood pressure, internal carotid arterial resistance and superior mesenteric arterial resistance by 11 % ~19%, 14%~27%,23%~ 39%respectively. Meanwhile, the mesenteric ar-terial blood flow increased.by 16%~51%. Ver showed similar reflects as PNS. The results indicated that the vasodilation effects of PNS and Ver are vascular selective, that is PNS and Ver are more potent in dilating the mesenteric artery than the internal carotid artery.
9.Application and innovation of urological laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in China
Chinese Journal of Urology 2012;33(10):729-734
Objective To evaluate the status of urological laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) technique in China. Methods We had conducted a systematic review of literatures of urological laparoendoscopic single-site surgery published from Chinese institutions using WanFang,CNKI,VIP,CBM,GoogleScholar and MEDLINE databases.All relevant articles were selected with consensus and analyzed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results Overall,205 articles from 66 different centers all over China published between January 2009 and June 2012 were included in the analysis. Of which,there were 26 articles of science citation index papers and 179 articles from Chinese academic journals.The included literature was mainly composed of case series reports ( 133 articles,64.9% ),comparison studies (13 articles,6.3% ),reviews or comments (20 papers,9.8% ),nursing related papers (28 pieces,13.7% ),animal surgery studies (6 articles,2.9% ),and training (5 articles,2.4% ).A total of 1790 clinical cases were reported during the study period,56.9% of these were procedures done in the upper urinary tract,only 5.8% were in the lower urinary tract,and 37.3% were genital or other procedures.Procedures of tumor-related and reconstruction required accounted for 18.8% and 18.7%,respectively.Pure single-port technique was applied on 58.3% of cases.In cases of a single-port platform used,45.6% used the commercially available devices and 54.4% used homemade devices.Transperitoneal accesses were adopted in 59.5% of cases and the other 40.5% were performed through extraperitoneal approaches.The umbilicus was used as the site of access in 58.5% of cases.A total of 25 indications were reported,including adrenalectomy,nephrectomy and ureterolithotomy,etc. in the upper urinary tract,radical cystectomy,radical prostatectomy and transvesical enucleation of the prostate,etc.in the lower urinary tract,and varicocelectomy,orchidopexy and others. The three most often done procedures were varicocelectomy (601 cases,33.6% ),renal cyst decortication (408 cases,22.8% ) and adrenalectomy ( 179 cases,10.0% ).The overall conversion rate was 5.5%,and complications were encountered in 3.4% of cases. Conclusions Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery has been widely adopted by Chinese urologists and largely covered the spectrum of conventional urologic laparoscopic procedures,with most of these being non-reconstructive operations for the treatment of benign diseases.In large,we are still under the initial stage of LESS application in urology.And more work on creative innovation and well-designed studies are needed to further evaluate its role in the urological minimally invasive surgery.
10.A biomechanical comparison of parallel plating and vertical plating for humeral intercondylar comminuted fractures
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2012;14(1):58-60
Objective To compare biomechanical performances of parallel plate fixation and vertical plate fixation for better clinical treatment of humeral intercondylar comminuted fractures (HICF).Methods Models of T-shaped fracture were created using an osteotome at the distal end of humerus in 6 specimens of upper limb in 3 human adult cadavers.The 2 fracture models of left and right humeri in the same cadaver were respectively fixated with parallel plating and vertical plating.On a biomaterial-testing machine,a vertical load was applied onto the fixated distal humerus at a speed of 5 N/s till it reached 2000 N.The loading was repeated 3 times.Vertical compression displacement,intercondylar separating displacement,deformation of medial and lateral condyles and vertical compression stiffness were documented for statistic analyses. Results Under the same load,parallel plating led to significantly less compression displacement,separating displacement and deformation of condyles( P < 0.05) but significantly greater axial compression stiffness( P < 0.05) than vertical plating. Conclusion In biomechanics,parallel plate fixation has better performance than vertical plate fixation for HICF.
