Objective To investigate the expression of CD147 and its significance in human cervical carcinoma. Methods Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect CD147 expression in cervical cancer or normal cervix uteri tissues. Results CD147 protein was expressed in all of cervical carcinomas (41/41, 100.0%) and most of normal cervix uteri tissues (11/12, 91.7%). CD147 with different molecular weights were present in cervical tissues. The percentage of CD147-positive cells and the expressional level of CD147 were higher in cervical carcinomas than in normal cervix (P<0.05). Conclusion CD147 might be recognized as a marker of cell proliferation. High expression of CD147 in cervical carcinomas suggests that it might be a potential target for cervical carcinoma therapy.

Objective To summarize MRI findings of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), analyze MRI characteristics of various pathological subtypes of focal cortical dysplasia. Methods Forty-four patients with FCD were collected. Their MRI findings were analyzed retrospectively. According to pathologic findings, these patients were divided into FCD type Ⅰ group and FCD type Ⅱ group. The following MR signs were observed in the two types of FCD: ( 1 ) Focal thickening of the cortex. ( 2 ) Blurring of the gray matter-white matter junction. ( 3 ) Tapering of white matter signal intensity alteration toward the ventricle on FLAIR and on T2WI. (4)Focal brain hypoplasia. (5)Increased signal intensity of gray matter on FLAIR. (6)Increased signal intensity of gray matter on T2 WI. ( 7 ) Increased signal intensity of subcortical white matter on FLAIR.(8) Increased signal intensity of subeortical white matter on T2WI. (9) Decreased signal intensity of subcortical white matter on T1 WI. The χ2 tests and corrected χ2 tests were used for comparison between the two groups. Results In the 44 cases, there were 30 cases with FCD type Ⅰ and 14 cases with FCD type Ⅱ. FCD was identified by MRI in 32 cases. Blurring of the gray-white matter junction is the most common sign of FCD (23 cases). There were 21 cases identified by MRI in FCD type Ⅰ group. Focal brain hypoplasia is a typical sign of FCD type Ⅰ , which was found in 11 cases in FCD type Ⅰ group but none in FCD type Ⅱ group. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups (continuity corrected χ2 =5. 0286,P =0. 0249) . In FCD type Ⅱ group, 11 cases were identified by MRI. Increased cortical thickness was found in 10 eases in FCD type Ⅱ group and 11 cases in FCD type Ⅰ group ( χ2 =4. 6234 ,P =0. 0315). Increased signal intensity of subcortical white matter on FLAIR was found in 9 cases in FCD type Ⅱ group and 7 cases in FCD type Ⅰ group (χ2 =6.9180,P =0.0085). Tapering of white matter signal intensity alteration toward the ventricle was found in 4 cases in FCD type Ⅱ group and none in FCD type Ⅰ group ( continuity corrected χ2 = 6. 2883, P = 0. 0122). The above-mentioned three MRI findings showed statistically significant difference between the two groups and were features of FCD type Ⅱ.All of the other MRI findings showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions Different pathological subtypes of FCD have different MRI characteristics. It is helpful to make preoperative diagnosis and planning.

Objective To study interleukin-1 receptor(IL-1R) and connexin(Cx36) gene expression following Mg 2+-free-induced seizures in cultured developing neuron. Methods Rat embryo cortical neurons cultured for 6 and 17 days were exposed to Mg 2+-free media to induce seizure. At different time after Mg 2+-free treatment, real-time RT-PCR was used to detect IL-1R and Cx36 mRNA expression. Results 1. IL-1R mRNA expression transiently decreased after Mg 2+-free treatment in neurons cultured for 6 and 17 days in vitro. Then the levels of IL-1R mRNA expression recovered in neurons cultured for 6 days, but IL-1R mRNA expression were increased in neurons cultured for 17 days compared with control group and the peak was at 24 hours. 2. In neurons cultured for 6 days in vitro, Cx36 mRNA expression increased after Mg 2+-free treatment compared with control group, the peak was at 24 hours. But in neurons cultured for 17 days in vitro, Cx36 mRNA expression decreased at 6 hours after Mg 2+-free treatment compared with control group, the peak was at 24 hours. Conclusions IL-1R mRNA and Cx36 mRNA expression following Mg 2+-free-induced seizures are different between the neurons cultured for 6 and 17 days in vitro. This is possibly related to the different neuron injury between 6 and 17 days in vitro following seizures.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of magnetic source imaging(MSI) in the preoperative localization of focal cortical dysplasia(FCD). Methods Eighty-two patients with intractable epilepsy resulting from FCD undergone preoperative assessment including MSI, video electroencephalography(VEEG) and electrocorticography(ECoG)from February 2006 to June 2012.The consistency between pre- and intra-surgical assessment was evaluated. For patients who had consistent results,postoperative curative effect was also recorded. The accuracy and predictive values of noninvasive preoperative tests were compared by χ2 test. Results For MSI and ECoG, their results were consistent in 57 cases, partially consistent in 14 cases, and inconsistent in 11 cases. In the postoperative follow-up of 57 patients with consistent results, there were 46 cases with Engel class Ⅰ, 3 cases with Engel class Ⅱ, 4 cases with Engel class Ⅲ, and 4 cases with Engel class IV. For VEEG and ECoG, the results were consistent in 43 cases, partially consistent in 33 cases, inconsistent in 6 cases.The postoperative follow-up showed that 27 cases were graded as Engel classⅠ, 5 cases as Engel classⅡ,7 cases as Engel classⅢ, and 4 cases as Engel class IV. There were statistically significant differences(χ2=5.023,P=0.025)of the concordance rate with ECoG between MSI(69.51%,57/82)and VEEG(52.44%,43/82). In the postoperative follow-up of patients with consistent results, the curative effect was better in group MSI than in group VEEG (χ2=3.989,P=0.046). Conclusions Preoperativelocalization by MSI shows advantage over VEEG, which meanswhen it achieves an agreement with ECoG, patients with FCD may get better prognosis from the surgical process.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of conventional endoscopy (CE) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for invasion depth prediction of superficial gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 84 patients with superficial gastric cancer underwent both CE and EUS before treatment at Beijing Shijitan Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019. The patients were divided into CE affirmation group (47 cases) and CE non-affirmation group (37 cases) according to the endoscopist′s affirmation in the results of CE. Diagnostic accuracy of each method was compared with the histology of the resected specimen. And influential factors for the diagnosis were analyzed.Results:The overall accuracy in determining the invasion depth of superficial gastric cancer was 73.8% (62/84) for CE and 81.0% (68/84) for EUS respectively ( P=0.092). In CE affirmation group, the diagnostic accuracy of CE was significantly higher than that in the CE non-affirmation group [93.6% (44/47) VS 48.7% (18/37), χ2=21.656, P<0.001]. Twenty (23.8%) of 84 lesions were over-staged by CE, dignosed as surgical candidates, and 8 (40.0%) of the over-staged diagnosis were modified by additional EUS assessment. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that influential factors associated with observer affirmation included uneven surface of lesion ( OR=5.076, 95% CI: 1.628-15.821, P=0.005), margin elevation ( OR=3.831, 95% CI: 1.238-11.857, P=0.020) and undifferentiated carcinoma ( OR=6.887, 95% CI: 1.882-25.204, P=0.004). Conclusion:For patients of CE affirmation in the invasion depth, the diagnostic accuracy is high. For those of non-affirmation, additional EUS can improve the diagnostic accuracy and help to develop a more appropriate regime.

Abstract: Objective To explore the carrying status of four common deafness genes and mutations on 10 loci in newborns in Hainan, and to analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of deafness genes and their loci, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating neonatal deafness gene screening strategy and promoting children's hearing health in Hainan. Methods Newborns born in Hainan from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. The demographic characteristics of the research objects were collected. At the same time, the plantar blood of newborns was collected, and multiplex PCR amplification and directed hybridization combined with high-throughput sequencing technology were applied to detect 10 mutation loci on 4 common deafness genes. T-test or chi square test was used to process the data. Results A total of 7 124 newborns were included in the study through informed consent, 219 cases of deafness gene mutation were detected with the detection rate of deafness gene of 3.07%. The detection rates of GJB2, SLC26A4, MT-RNR1 and GJB3 were 1.56% (111/7 124), 1.18% (84/7 124), 0.21% (15/7 124) and 0.11% (8/7 124) respectively. Among the 10 loci of the four genes, the positive detection rate of c.235delC locus of GJB2 was the highest, which was 1.38% (98/7 124), followed by c.919-2A>G of SLC26A4 (0.87%, 62/7 124); 2.63% (113/4 289) of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene; in terms of gene type, the detection rate of GJB2 gene in newborns who failed the hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed the hearing screening [2.23% (63/7 124) vs 1.12% (48/7 124),P<0.01]; in terms of gene loci, the detection rate of c.235delC locus in newborns who failed hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed hearing screening [2.09% (59/7 124) vs 0.91% (39/7 124),P<0.01]. Conclusion The most common deafness genes types in Hainan were GJB2 and SLC26A4; The most common gene mutation sites were c.235delC and c.919-2A>G; 2.63% of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene, among which the high-risk newborns with MT-RNR1 and GJB3 genes were found. Therefore, hearing screening should be combined with deafness gene screening to improve the detection rate of children at high risk of hearing loss.

Objective To investigate the long-term effect of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) block on spasticity in cerebral palsy. Methods From June, 2005 to December, 2013, 51 children with spastic cerebral palsy accepted routine rehabilitation with (trial group, n=24) or without (control group, n=27) BTX-A block. They were assessed with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Physician Rating Scale (PRS) and Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before treatment, and with PRS and GMFM two years after treatment. Results There was no significant difference between two groups in ages, body mass, and scores of MAS, PRS and GMFM before treatment (t<1.207,χ2=0.076, P>0.05). The scores of PRS and GMFM improved in both groups two years after treatment (t>2.217, P<0.05), and improved more in the trial group than in the control group (t>2.095, P<0.05). Conclusion The long-term effect of BTX-A block is positive. The rehabilitation training after block can promote their motor function recovery.
