OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the significance and relationship between the expression of FOXC1 and clinicopathological features, and to explore its correlation with E-cadherin.
METHOD:
Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detected the expression of FOXC1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and nasopharyngitis tissues.
RESULT:
(1) Immunoreaction to FOXC1 was mainly located in nucleus of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. The positive expression rate of FOXC1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues was 85.3% (81/95), which was significantly higher than that in nasopharyngitis tissues (59.4%) (P < 0.05). (2) The expression of FOXC1 was not related to patients' age and gender, clinical stage of cancer and lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). (3) There was a correlation between the expression of FOXC1 and down-regulated expression of E-cadherin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
FOXC1 may play an important role in generation and progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, there may be a correlation between the expression of FOXC1 and down-regulated expression of E-cadherin, also FOXC1 may play an important role in the process of EMT in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by regulating E-cadherin.

Objective To examine the iron content and the expression of hepcidin in early period after subarach-noid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats, and to explore the role of hepcidin in dysregulation of brain iron metabolism after SAH. Methods Totally 90 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:the sham-operation group and SAH group. The SAH model was established by single blood injection to prechiasmatic cistern. Immunohistochemical and Western Blotting were used to examine the expression of hepcidin at 12, 24, 48 and 72h after SAH. Meanwhile, Atomic Absorption Spectrometer was used to detect the iron content. Results Immunochemistry showed that hepcidin expression in rats in SAH group began to rise at 12 h(0.30±0.06)and gradually increased over time until 72 h(0.56±0.07)compared with the sham group(0.19±0.05). The expression of hepcidin was significantly higher in SAH group than in the sham group(F=31.911, P<0.05). Western blot showed that hepcidin expression in rats in SAH group began to rise at 12h(0.481±0.065) and gradually increased over time until 72h(1.627±0.143)Compared with the sham group(0.238±0.047). The expression of hepcidin was significantly higher in SAH group than in the sham group after SAH(F=147.314,P<0.05). Iron content in SAH group began to rise at 12h after SAH(58.50±9.19)and gradually increased until 72 h(99.34±7.68). The iron con-tents in SAH group were higher at every time points than those in sham group(43.51±4.59)(F=28.799,P﹤0.05). The ex-pression of hepcidin was correlated with the iron content in SAH group(r=0.914,P﹤0.01). Conclusion The increase in iron content following SAH is associated with the increased hepcidin expression.

AIM: To determine EGF contents in human milk, frech cow's milk and cow's milk-based infant formulas and the relationship between EGF content of human milk and neonatal maturity.METHODS: EGF contents in 57 human colostrum from mothers delivering prematurely and at term, 4 different fresh cow's milk and 8 different cow's-milk-based infant formulas with hydrolyzed and non-hydrolyzed proteins were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). RESULTS: Human milk from mothers of premature infants had higher EGF content compared to that from mothers of term infants[(28.2?10.3) nmol/L vs(17.3?9.6) nmol/L]. There was a negative correlation between EGF content of human milk and gestational age, birth weight of neonates. The values in fresh cow's milk [(16.6?3.8) nmol/L]were similar to that in human term milk. The contents in non-hydrolyzed protein formulas[(7.5?1.9) nmol/L]were much lower than that in human milk and fresh cow's milk. No immunoreactive EGF was detected in all hydrolyzed protein formulas. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of high EGF concentration in premature milk may represent a maternal compensatory mechanism to accelerate the growth and maturation in immature infants. Lack of EGF in formulas suggests that they may not suitable for those newborns with immature or damaged gastrointestinal tract.

Objective:
To evaluate the diagnostic value and feasibility of narrow-band imaging in detection of recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods:
One thousand three hundred and sixty-four NPC patients who had completed NPC treatment were enrolled. All patients were followed-up with imaging, serological examination of EB virus and nasopharyngeal endoscopy(WL and NBI mode), in which (1) both white light (WL) and NBI modes were done; (2) positive endoscopic patients were given nasopharyngeal biopsy; (3) using histologic finding as criterion standard, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Yonden′s index of two modes were compared. Kappa index was used to evaluate the consistency between the two modes and pathological results respectively; (4) the positive rates of WL and NBI in patients with early recurrent (stage Ⅰ+ Ⅱ) were compared.
Results:
A total of 265 cases were suspected as having recurrent lesions by endoscopy in WL mode and 68 cases of them were pathologically diagnosed as having NPC; and 82 cases were suspected as having recurrent lesions by endoscopy in NBI mode and 74 cases of them were pathologically diagnosed as having NPC. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Yonden′s index of WL mode were 91.89%, 0, 25.09% and -0.0811, respectively, with a kappa of -0.045; the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Yonden′s index of NBI mode were 100.00%, 95.94%, 97.05% and 0.9594, respectively.
Conclusion
NBI has higher sensitivity, specificity, early diagnosis rate and Yonden′s index than WL.
