Lymphatic metastasis is an important prognostic factor for pancreatic cancer.However,lymphatic metastatic status (N0 or N1) can not reflect the degree of lymphatic metastasis.Lymph node ratio,which is defined as the number of positive lymph nodes divided by total examined lymph nodes,can reflect the degree of lymph metastatic metastasis and give consideration to examined lymph nodes.Lymph node ratio is superior to lymph metastatic status in staging,guiding treatment,and predicting prognosis.However,currently,lymph node ratio cannot replace lymph metastatic status for the undetermined minimum number of examined lymph nodes and cut-off value.Further evidence is needed to prove its clinical value.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between the patients' psychological factors and esthetics satisfaction of all-ceramic restoration of anterior teeth.MethodsThe N scales of Eysenck personality questionnaires (EPQ) were filled at the first visit,and the total scores of N scales were calculated.After restorative treatments,the satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the patients' aesthetic satisfaction on material quality,color,geometry,profile,self-confidence,etc,and to analyze the relation between psychological factors and satisfaction of the patients.ResultsThe scores of EPQ N scale of the patients in this study were as follows:Nmax=23,Nmin =3,Navg =9.35±5.714.The patients had high satisfaction with restoration.Aesthetic satisfaction,color and self-confidence were in relation to the N scales scores,satisfaction of color was in relation to sickness suspicion,satisfaction of profile was in relation to enthrallment extent and guilty consciousness,and satisfaction of self-confidence improvement was in relation to anxiety and self-determination.Conclusions The psychologic factor of the patients has some influence on the esthetics satisfaction of all-ceramic restoration of anterior teeth.

Objective To construct the mice pneumonia model with imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and provide experimental model in anti-pan-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii therapy study. Methods A total number of 120 4-week-old BALB/C male mice were randomly selected and divided into three groups including micro-intratracheal injection, ultrasonic atomizing and nasal dripping. The mice were treated with methotrexate to induce hypo-immunity in every group. These BALB/C mice of normal immunity and hypo-immunity were infected through Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii by microintratracheal injection, ultrasonic atomizing and nasal dripping, respectively. The morbidity, mortality,bacterial clearance rate and histopathology in lung were determined. Results The morbidities of BALB/C mice with hypo-immunity infected by micro-intratracheal injection and ultrasonic atomizing achieved 100%(30/30), while the mortalities were 100% (10/10) and 33.3% (3/10), respectively. Mice in two groups above displayed the influx of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages in the peri-bronchial and alveolar interstitial space 12-24 h after pulmonary infection. In addtion, the mice in micro-intratracheal injection group displayed coUapse of partial alveolar walls, formation of abscesses and bacterial colonies in alveoli. While the lung pathology in mice of ultrasonic atomizing group was characterized by cell degeneration in some regions in the lungs, slight relaxation, congestion in alveolar wall vessels and normal of bronchial and alveolar tissue 24 h after inoculation. Degeneration in peri-tracheal and peri-bronchial areas was observed 24-48 h after inoculation, along with highly expanded pulmonary blood vessels and edems. The inflammation was reduced at 48 hours. There was no obvious pulmonary infection in BALB/C mice with hypo-immunity by nasal dripping with mortality of 0% (0/10) and no significant histopathologic change in lungs. Conclusions BALB/C mice with hypo-immunity pneumonia model with Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii can be conducted by micro-intratracheal injection or ultrasonic atomizing, but the latter has the advantages of high-productivity, easy-operation, low-cost, time-saving and usefulness. Mice with normal immunity are not susceptible to imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

Objective To investigate the role of Stathmin in pancreatic cancer invasion and metastasis and its relationship with DNA methylation. Methods Immunohistochemical detection of MBDI and Stathmin protein expression in 40 cases of pancreatic cancer and 15 cases ot normal pancreatic tissue were performed,followed by analysis of their clinical and pathological relationship with pancreatic cancer; Human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 was treated with 5-Aza-2-dC (AZA).Both qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis of Stathmin expression were used before and after AZA treatment; Stathmin-siRNA transfected BxPC-3 cells were divided into the Stathmi-siRNA group and the empty vector control group.Transwell chamber invasion assay and animal experiment were performed to measure the changes in cell invasion and metastatic capability. Results lmmunohistochemistry showed positive MBDI and Stathmin expressions in 28 (70％) and 24 (60％) out of 40 cases of pancreatic cancer,respectively,which were significantly higher than that in the normal pancreatic tissue (P＜ 0.05); MBDI and Stathmin protein expressions were positively correlated (r =0.356,P =0.037),so were MBDI expression and lymph node metastasis (P=0.023).Stathmin expression was significantly correlated with clinical staging and lymph node metastasis (P =0.002,and P =0.001,respectively).After AZA treatment,both Stathmin mRNA and protein expression in BxPC-3 were significantly decreased.Transwell chamber invasion assay showed that compared with the control group,the cell invasion capability of the Stathmin-siRNA group was significantly decreased (P＜0.05).Animal experiment showed that the incidence of liver metastasis was significantly lower in the Stathmin-siRNA transfected group than the empty vector control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Demethylation may contribute to the reduction of Stathmin expression in pancreatic cancer and further improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients.
