AIM: To investigate mutations of oncogene k-ras in colorectal cancer tissues and the relationship between mutations of k - ras and biological behavior of colorectal carcinoma. METHODS:The specimens of 123 patients with colorectal cancer were collected. Real - time fluorescence quantitative PCR were performed to detect k-ras mutations at codon 12 and codon 13 of exon 1, and the results were analyzed with the corresponding clinical pathological data. RESULTS: Among 123 colorectal cancer cases, point mutations were detected in 53 cases (40.8% ) , point mutations at codon 12 were found in 42 (34.1 % ) cases, and 11(8.9% ) cases at codon 13.No closely relationship between mutations of k-ras and tumor size, location, invasive depth and differentiation extent was observed. The rate of k-ras mutation in the cases with more invaded lymph nodes was higher than that in the cases without invaded lymph nodes ( P < 0.05 ) , and the rate of k-ras gene mutation in the cases with hepatic metastases was higher than that in no hepatic metastases (P <0.05). The rate of k - ras gene mutation was higher in TNM staging Ⅲ/Ⅳ than that in Ⅰ/Ⅱ( P < 0.05 ). CONCLUSION: Mutation of oncogene k-ras plays an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of colorectal cancer, and it is closely associated with invaded lymph notes and hepatic metastases, suggesting that mutation of k- ras indicates a poor prognosis.

Objective To explore the factors influencing pneumococcal vaccination uptake among the el-derly people in Guangzhou. Methods A survey by questionnaire was performed among 827 subjects aged 60 years or above and living in Guangzhou for five consecutive years. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were applied to identify factors influencing pneumococcal vaccination uptake among the elderly. Results The positive factors for vaccination uptake among the elderly people included age of over 70 years (OR=1.677, 95%CI: 1.156 ~ 2.434), mental workers (OR = 1.837, 95%CI: 1.214 ~ 2.779), education background of over-three-year-course training (OR=1.769, 95%CI:1.039~3.012), and history of chronic diseases (OR=1.659, 95%CI:1.096~2.512) were positively associated with pneumococcal vaccination uptake. Monthly disposable income was not an influencing factor (OR=1.420, 95%CI: 0.895 ~ 2.251). Conclusion Strengthened publicity of pneumo-coccal vaccination among the elderly people and flexible measures tailored to the needs of different groups are rec-ommended in order to improve pneumococcal vaccination uptake among the elderly people.

Objective To assess the clinical value of dobutamine 201Tl stress-redistribution/nitroglycerin augmented ~(99m)Tc-metho~(99m)Tc-xyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods A total of 132 patients with suspected CAD underwent dobutamine 201Tl stress-redistribution/nitroglycerin augmented MIBI gated MPI and coronary arteriography (CAG) within two weeks after MPI. Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) were performed in 23 patients with myocardial infraction. The regional wall movement was assessed with echocardiography before and within three months after PCI. Results Taking stenosis ≥50% as standard of CAD, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of dual-isotopic SPECT imaging in diagnosing CAD was 93.41%, 87.80% and 91.67%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in diagnosing left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis was 93.85%, 91.04% and 92.42%, for left circumflex artery (LCX) was 86.79%, 89.87% and 88.64%, while for right coronary artery (RCA) was 81.25%, 82.14% and 81.82%, respectively. Of all 207 myocardium segments in 23 patients with myocardial infarction, radioactivity defect was found in 113 segments on the redistributed ~(201)Tl images, and radiofilling was found in 52 (52/113) segments on the nitroglycerin augmented ~(99m)Tc-MIBI images, whereas 61 segments had no radiofilling. Taking regional wall movement improvement as the criterion of viable myocardium, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of identifying viable myocardium with nitroglycerin augmented ~(99m)Tc-MIBI imaging was 87.23%, 83.33% and 84.96%. Conclusion Dobutamine ~(201)Tl stress-redistribution/nitroglycerin augmented ~(99m)Tc-MIBI gated MPI is able to effectively detect CAD and viable myocardium and helpful in diagnosis and treatment of CAD.

Objective To study the effect of operative modalities on the prognosis of gastric carcinoma patients suffering from various types of intra-abdominal metastasis. Methods In this study, 150 cases of gastric cancer with abdominal metastasis screened from data base, were divided by the location into peritoneal dissemination group (n=106), hepatic metastasis group (n=19) and both peritoneal dissemination and hepatic metastasis group (n=25). The surgical interventions include total resection, palliative resection and no resection. The clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. Results The total tumor resection rate in peritoneal dissemination group (48.1%) and hepatic metastasis group (63.2%) was significantly higher than that in both peritoneal and hepatic metastasis group (20.0%), with the mean survival time (months) being 31.1, 12.8, 9.7 respectively (P<0.05). In peritoneal group, the mean survival (months) for tumor total resection, palliative and no resection subgroup was 46.3,1.7,4.8 respectively (P<0.05), whereas in hepatic metastasis group, the mean survival (months) was 17.2,4.0,5.4 respectively (P<0.05), in both peritoneal and hepatic metastasis group, the mean survival (months) was 11.2,8.9,5.0 respectively (P>0.05). Lymph nodes resection significantly prolonged survival in peritoneal dissemination group. Conclusions The prognosis of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination is better than with hepatic metastasis. Tumor total resection and lymph node dissection significantly improve the survival of patients suffering from peritoneal or hepatic dissemination.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of p63, CD_(44v6) and human papilloma virus (HPV) 16/18 in carcinoma of cervix and precancerous lesion and to study their role in the pathogenesis of the infiltrative carcinoma of the cervix(ICC). Methods 145 patients were selected, among whom were 60 cases of ICC, 55 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and 30 cases of normal cervical epidermis (NCE). Immunohistochemistry streptavidin peroxidase (SP) was used to detect the expressions of p63 and CD_(44v6) protein and hybridization in situ was used to measure HPV 16/18 gene on tissue microarray. Results HPV 16/18, p63 and CD_(44v6) in ICC were significantly higher than those in CIN and NCE groups (P < 0.05). The expressions of HPV 16/18 gene in CIN I 、CIN II and CIN III were 27.3 % , 43.8 %, 70.6 % respectively. p63 protein was mainly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma, but not in adenocarcinoma. p63-positive rate was related to the grade of squamous cell carcinoma and clinical stage. CD_(44v6) positive rate was related to the pathological grade and clinical stage. Moreover, the positive rate of lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than the cases without metastasis (P <0.05). The expression of HPV16/18 was positively correlated with that of p63 in ISCC (P <0.05, Cp =0.49). Conclusion HPV16/18 possibly participate in the pathogenesis and progress of cervical squamous carcinoma. p63, as the cancer gene, may participate in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer caused by HPV 16/18. p63 could be a differentiation indicator of cervical squamous carcinoma, and it could be one of the markers which would be differentiated into squamous cell in malignant tumour. CD_(44v6) could be used as one of the indicators of distant metastasis of cervical cancer.
