Kiss-1 gene is an anti-oncogene which is correlative with the genesis and progress of various human malignant tumors.it plays an important role in process of tumor invasion and metastasis. Kiss-1 gene is associated closely with metastasis of melanoma,breast cancer,gastric carcinoma,esophageal cancer and differentiated thyroid carcinoma and so on,but the mechanism is not fully elucidated. Therefore,the detection of Kiss-1 gene expression will be valuable for the treatment and prognosis of malignant tumor.

Objective To explore the relationship between KAI1 gene expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma and clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods KAI1 mRNA expression was detected by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction in 21 cases papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues and 21 cases adjacent normal tissues, as well as 7 cases benign thyroid disease tissues. KAI1 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemisty in 60 cases papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues and 20 cases thyroid adenoma tissues. Results KAI1 mRNA expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues (P ＜ 0. 05) and benign thyroid lesion tissues (P ＜ 0. 05). Positive expression rate of KAI1 protein was 68. 3% in papillary thyroid carcinoma and 25% in thyroid adenoma tissues. The difference was statistically significant (P ＜0. 01). In papillary thyroid carcinoma, positive expression rate of KAI1 protein in the group without lymph node metastasis was higher than that in group with lymph node metastasis (P＜0.05). There was no difference in positive expression rate of KAI1 protein for male or female patients (P ＞0. 05). KAI1 protein expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma was not related to patients' ages, tumor size, TNM staging or capsule invasion (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusions The abnormal expression of KAI1 mRNA and protein is correlated to the genesis and progress of papillary thyroid carcinoma,which provides a clue for treatment and prognosis assessment of papillary thyroid carcinoma

Objective To examine the synaptic structure and glutamatergic transmitter of the pathway linking the anterior thalamic nucleus(ATN) and the subicular complex. Methods The HRP tracing and post embedding immunogold technique were used. Results In the anterior thalamic nucleus,anterograde HRP labelled terminals contained clear round synaptic vesicles and several mitochondria,and formed asymmetric synaptic contacts with HRP-labelled or non-HRP labelled dendrites.The highest densities of immunogold particles following glutamate immunostaining were found in HRP-labelled terminals and similar axon terminals devoid of HRP reaction product,They formed asymmetric synaptic contacts(Gray type Ⅰ) with dendrites.The average density of those immunogold particles was more than 3 times higher than that of the gold particles in the dendrites of their contacts and over 6 times higher than that of the particles in the terminals that formed symmetric synapses(Gray type Ⅱ).In two serial GABA immunogold reactive sections,Gray tpye Ⅱ terminals were heavily labeled whereas Gray type Ⅰterminals displayed a very slight labelling.In glutamate immunogold reactive sections,Gray type Ⅱ terminals were slightly labeled.A GABA positive terminal which formed symmetric synapses with HRP-labeled dendrites and the terminal which formed asymmetric synapses converged on the same dendrite.Conclusion The terminals of projection neurons in the pathway linking the anterior thalamic nucleus and the subicular complex are glutamatergic.In anterior thalamic nucleus corticothalamic projection neuron terminals form asymmetric synaptic contacts with HRP-labelled thalamocortical projection neurons by axo-dendritic synapses.

Samples of skeletal muscle in forearm were taken from 60 sites in each of 10 normal autopsy subjects (male 7, female 3) between 3 and 69 years of age. The distribution and composition of type I and type II fibers in the muscles of the forearm were studied by histochemical method for myofibrillar ATPase. The results showed that the mean percentage of type I fibers ranged between 45% to 59% in the muscles of the forearm. In general, the slow contracting fibers of the forearm muscles were slightly higer than 50%. In the flexors and extensors of the forearm the respective percentage of type I fibers were 49.8% and 55.3%. The slow contraction fibers of the extensors muscle group showed higher proportion of type I fibers than those of the flexor group and the difference is statistically significant (P

Objective To investigate the anatomic characteristics of the nasolabial fold and to give an accurate description and definition of it in order to to provide theoretical basis for plastic, cosmetic and maxillofacial surgery. Methods Ten (20 sides) adult fresh bodies with vascular perfusion of formalin fixed after morphological observation under a 10 × magnifying len. Results Nasolabial fold was a border between fat-rich zone and non-fat zone in the midfacial region. The nasolabial fold derived from nasal alar skin point in the transverse portion of nasalis, and ended at the outer skin point of zygomaticus major muscle in the mouth. From the anatomy point of view, the nasolabial fold was divided into three segments: the upper, the middle and the under. The upper segment ( Ⅰ ) was the transverse portion of nasalis, (20. 38± 0. 74) mm in length; the middle section ( Ⅱ ): levator labii superioris,(17.13 ± 0.57) mm in length; the under segment (Ⅲ ): modiolus, (20. 81 ±0. 70) mm in length. The nasolabial fold was a connecting region where seven mimetic muscles inserted into the skin point. Superficial musculoapneurotic system (SMAS) and the nasolabial fold were composed of seven mimetic muscles belonging to the same layer. Conclusions The nasolabial fold is a region where the seven mimetic muscles insert into the skin point for connection, and regardless of age, it is an eternal existence. The nasolabial fold is different from the nasolabial wrinkle formed with facial aging and the nasolabial ridges formed by facial mimetic muscles changes.

Objective To assess the ability of ABCD3-Ⅰ score in evaluating the early risk of cerebral infarction after transient ischemic attack ( TIA ).Methods A total of 107 TIA patients were evaluated according to ABCD2,ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria.The occurrences of cerebral infarction within 2 days and 7 days were observed.Results The AUCRoc of ABCD2,ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ were 0.61,0.66 and 0.71 in predicting the risk of cerebral infarction within 2 days,and were 0.62,0.68 and 0.74 in predicting within 7 days,respectively.Among 107 patients with TIA,13 evolved into cerebral infarction within 2 days,accounting for 12.1％,and 24 within 7 days,accounting for 22.4％.According to ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria,17 patients were of low risk scored 0-3 ; 54 patients were of medium risk scored 4-7 ; and 36 patients were of high risk scored 8-13.The different incidence of cerebral infarction after TIA was related to ABCD3-Ⅰ score:the higher the score was,the higher incidence was.Except for age factor,every score item of ABCD3-Ⅰ display obvious influence to the occurrence of cerebral infarction within 2 days and 7 days after TIA (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria could more effectively predict the occurrence of early risk of cerebral infarction after TIA,which could be used in regular clinical practice for assistance in TIA risk stratification and treatment.
