The relative content of DNA-RNA and the nuclear area/nucleolar area ratio of the hyperplastic tissue,glottic polypus,dysplastic tissue of grade I to I laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were measured in 33 cases with image analysis technique.It was found that the changes of DNA-RNA content and the ratio of nuclear/nucleolar area were parallel to those of the severity of the carcinoma,and RNA was markedly increased in grade 11 and I dysplastic tissue.On the basis of the current grading of laryngeal pathology,the combined determination of DNA-RNA can provide more sensitive indicators to the stages of malignant degeneration of the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To explore if Ulinastai reverses hepatofibrosis in rats.Method Rat hepatofibrosis models were induced by TAA subcutaneously injection.18 rats with hepatofibrosis were divided into 2 groups,Ulinastai treatment group (9 rats),normal saline control group (9 rats).AST,ALT,HA,SOD,MDA,LN level were measured and compared between the 2 groups and that of healthy rats (3 rats).Rats liver morphology was observed using HE,Masson stain and type-B ultrasonic.TGF-β1、caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Result After 3 weeks Ulinastai treatment,elastic index and SSS score in Ulinastai group decreased significantly compared to pretreatment (t =2.472,P ＜0.05).ALT,AST,SOD,MDA,HA and LN level significantly improved (F =3.862,5.774,3.442,4.157,4.173,3.674,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with NS treatment group HE and Masson staining showed fewer inflammatory cells infiltration in central vein,ballooning degeneration of liver cells,collagen proliferated,hepatic lobules degradation and pseudolobule arise after 3 weeks intervenion.Also in Ulinastai group,TGF-β1、caspase-3 positive cells were much less than that in NS treatment group.Conclusions Ulinastai can reverse rat hepatic fibrosis and alleviate fibrosis degree and collagen fiber deposit.

Objective·To analyse the outcomes of tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) for secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) late after left-sided valve surgery during perioperative period and mid-term follow-up,investigate mechanisms of STR and surgical risk factors.Methods·A total of 85 consecutive patients who underwent the TVR surgery were analyzed.The perioperative and mid-term clinical outcomes were retrospectively investigated.The data were divided into bioprosthesis group (n=50) and mechanical prosthesis group (n=35) according to the prosthesis used,and divided into right anterolateral thoracotomy(RALT) group (n=51) and stemotomy(S) group (n=34) according to the surgical incision.Results·In-hospital mortality was 8.2％ (7/85).There was no significant difference in the mortality with different choice of bioprosthetic or mechanical valve (4/50 vs 3/35,x2=0.009,P=1.000);while there was significant difference between S group and RALT group (6/34 vs 1/51,x2=6.642,P=0.015).Seven cases all died of right heart failure and severe low cardiac output syndrome.Five (5.9％) cases died in perioperative within 30 in-hospital days and 2 (2.4％) cases died after 30 in-hospital days.Seventy-four cases were followed up.With the follow-up of (31.5±23.1) months,there were 4 case of late deaths(5.4％),all of whom were mechanical prosthesis,of whom 3 died in cardiac related death and 1 died in later period bowel cancer.Seventy cases survived in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class Ⅰ-Ⅱ with no coagulated accident and redo-TVR.Conclusion·The perioperative and mid-term clinical outcomes are satisfied in timely and reasonable TVR with the standard follow-up for STR late after left-sided valve surgery.Right anterolateral incision is recommend for isolated TVR.

Enterprise and competent department in China start to explore evaluation method and technique,as revaluation of Chinese patent medicine has been paid high attention in recent years.However,many problems of Chinese patent medicine standard itself commonly have been neglected in the revaluation of curative effect.This review comprehensively analyzed problems have to be faced in the revaluation of the curative effect of Chinese patent medicine,such as excessive broad expressions of function and indication,obscure definition of indication,identification between function and indication,correspondence of diseases and syndromes between Chinese and western medicine,feasibility of clinical trials,with the provision of general methods and solutions.

Objective To explore the relationship between the levels of plasma coagulation factors (F) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in low age period (<60 years old) and their diagnostic value in diagnosing AMI in low age period.Methods One hundred and sixty inpatients with low age AMI in the cardiology department of the Heze Municipal Hospital were selected as the case group,and contemporaneous 160 cases of low age non-AMI served as the control group.F Ⅱ,FⅦ,FⅧ,fibrinogen (Fg) and von willebrand (vWF) were measured with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent anti-sandwich assay.The relationship between coagulation factors and low age AMI was analyzed with univariate and multivariate analysis,and their value for diagnosing low age AMI was evaluated with diagnostic test and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.Results The univariate analysis showed that FⅡ,FⅦ,FⅧ and Fg levels had significantly statistical difference between the case group and control group(P<0.05),and the vWF level had no statistically difference(P>0.05).The multivariate analysis indicated that the FⅡ level≥ 14.27 μg/L and FⅦ level ≥22.99 μg/L were the independent risk factors for low age AMI.The value of FⅡ for diagnosing low age AMI was lower,and the optimal cut off value of Fg for diagnosing low age AMI was 22.99 μg/L,its area under ROC curve was 0.709 with a moderate diagnostic value,and the sensitivity (91.88%) and negative predictive value (86.02%) were higher,the false negative rate (13.98%) was lower,and the accuracy (70.94%) was moderate.Conclusion The FⅡ level ≥14.27 μg/L and Fg level ≥22.99 μg/L are the independent risk factors for low age AMI,and detecting the Fg level could have hint significance in diagnosing low age AMI.

Objective To analyze expression of Bmi-1 gene in thyroid tissues and the relationship between Bmi-1 gene and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.Methods RT-PCR was used to detect expression of Bmi-1 in normal thyrroid tissues(8 eases),nodular goiters(18 cases)and papillary thyroid carcinomas (24 cases).The result was analyzed by Fisher exact propability test.Results Bmi-1 expression was detected only in 1 case(12.5%)in normal thyroid tissues group,3 cases(16.7%)in nodular goiters group,and 19 cases(79.2%)in papillary thyroid carcinoma group.The difference of Bmi-1 expression between the 3 groups had statistical significance(P<0.05).There were 16 cases of lymph node metastasis(66.67%)in the 24 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma.The difference of Bmi-1 expression between cases with cervical lymph node metastasis and those without metastasis had statistical significance(P<0.05).Among the 19 thyroid carcinoma cases in which Bmi-1 expression was positive,12 eases(63.2%)were over45 years old,and 7 cases(36.8%)were under 45 years.The difference had statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusions Expression of Bmi-1 gene in papillary thyroid carcinoma tissue is significantly higher than that in nodular goiters and normal thyroid tissues.Bmi-1 expression is closely relevant to lymph node metastasis and age,implying that Bmi-1 expression has clinical significance of distinguishing thyroid malignant tumors from benign diseases and it may provide clues to unravel the mechanism and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasis.

Objective To observe the RAS gene mutations in papillary thyroid carcinoma,and to analyse the effects of mutation on clinical characteristics and prognosis.Methods In this study,354 papillary thyroid carcinoma patients were divided into 2 groups according to RAS mutation by DNA sequence analysis.The pathological type,disease progression,recurrence and prognostic difference between the two groups were compared,and regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between different variables and RAS mutation.Results There were 86 patients with RAS positive mutation.A significant difference was found with primary sites (P =0.004),distant metastasis (P =0.027),AJCC stage (P =0.004) and ATA risk stratification (P =0.000) between two groups.RAS positive patients have higher recurrence rate and shorter recurrence-free survival time (P ＜ 0.005) than the negative patients.Furthermore,in the multivariate analysis,the RAS mutation was significantly associated only with the ATA stratification.Conclusions RAS mutation increases risk of recurrence,RAS mutation and ATA stratification might be a valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the effect on the reversal of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) and on heart function of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) therapy at different time of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A total of 326 patients with primary anterior AMI-accompanied LVA diagnosed by left ventriculography (LVG) from January 2001 to July 2004 were enrolled in this study. They were randomized into 4 groups according to the time of accepting PCI:≤3 h group, 4-6 h group, 7-12 h group and one week group. At the baseline and 6 months after AMI, the parameters of left ventricular diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), left ventricular systolic volume index (LVESVI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular wall motion score (LVWMS) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) were measured by LVG. The paradox volume index (PVI) was measured by equilibrium radionuclide at one week and 6 months after AMI.At 3 year following up to, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded. Results At 6 months after PCI, the LVESVI, LVEDVI, WMS and LVEDP were all decreased while LVEF was increased in the four groups as compared with pre-PCl (P<0.05, respectively). Those parameters changed most obviously in ≤3 h group. At the 6th month after PCI, the PVI was lower in ≤3 h group (12.1±2.1)% than in 4-6 h, 7-12 h and one week group [(15.4±2.4)%, (16.5±2.5)% and (20.4±3.7)%, all P<0.05]. Within the 3 years follow-up, the MACE was significantly lower in 3 h, 4-6 h and 7-12 h groups than in one week group, and the mortality was lower too [(2.8%, 3.0% and 3.1% vs. 17.9%, all P<0.05]. Conclusions The early, fully and permanent open of the infraction-related artery can effectively inhibit the left ventricular remodeling process, prevent LVA formation, improve LV function and prognosis.
