Purpose To investigate the expression of the protein of CD151 and MT1-MMP in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junc-tion tissues and to explore their relationship with the invasiveness and metastasis of the tumor. Methods CD151 and MT1-MMP pro-tein were detected by immunohistochemical staining respectively in 15 cases of paraneoplastic normal gastric mucosa tissue, 40 cases dysplasia and 172 cases of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction tissues. Results All of the expression level of CD151 and MT1-MMP protein were increasing according to the order of normal-dysplsia-carcinoma. The expression rate of CD151 was 6. 67%, 20. 0% and 78. 3%, while the rate of MT1-MMP with 13. 3%, 22. 5% and 79. 1% in the normal, dysplasia and carcinoma subgroup. The expression rate of each protein were significant difference among the three goroups (P<0. 05). In the adenocarcinoma of esopha-gogastric junction tissues, the expression of them in the subgroup of poorly-differentiated with serosa invasion and lymph nodes metasta-sis was significantly higher than the other subgroup of well-differentiated with non serosa invasion or lymph nodes metastasis ( P <0. 05 ) . There was a positive correlation between the expression of CD151 and MT1-MMP protein in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction tissues ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions CD151 and MT1-MMP assuredly and highly express in the adenocarcinoma of esopha-gogastric junction tissues and they have close relationships, which could involved in the invasiveness and metastasis synergistically in this tumor.

This article was aimed to study the effect of polyphenols fromRubus suavissirnusS. Lee (RSLP) on spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) and to explore its mechanism of anti-hypertensive. The water extraction of RSLP was prepared. And the polyphenols was extracted with macroporous resin. The non-invasive blood pressure analysis system was used to detect the blood pressure. SHR model was selected to study the anti-hypertensive effect. The 16 normal Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group and the normal RSLP high-dose group (RSLP-NH). The 40 SHR were randomly divided into the model group, Captopril group, RSLP-L group, RSLP-M group and RSLP-H group. SBP, DBP, HR, body weight and organ index were observed after the drug administration for 8 weeks and drug withdrawal for 2 weeks. The contents of SOD, MDA, GSH-Px, NO, NOS and ANP in serum were measured. The results showed that the blood pressure of SHR was significantly higher than that of the control group, which can be used for anti-hypertensive studies. Each RSLP group can obviously reduce the SBP and DBP of SHR (P < 0.05), but it had no effect on HR (P > 0.05). RSLP can elevate GSH-Px, SOD levels and reduce the activity of MDA (P < 0.05). RSLP can reduce NO, NOS and ANP contents in serum (P < 0.05). It was concluded that RSLP can significantly reduce the SBP and DBP of SHR, but it had no significant effect on HR. It can increase the activity of GSH-Px, SOD, NO, NOS levels, and reduce the contents of MDA, ANP in serum. It had certain inhibitory effect on the left ventricular hypertrophy.

Objective To study the effects of high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) according to pulse-indicated continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A prospective randomly controlled trial was conducted.163 patients with ARDS admitted to Taizhou People's Hospital,Medical College,Nantong University,between February 2011 and January 2014,were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into conventional therapy group (n＝ 50),HVHF group (n =55),and PiCCO + HVHF group (n＝58) by random number table.The patients in conventional therapy group received routine treatment including mechanical ventilation and drug treatment according to ARDS treatment guideline.The patients in the HVHF group received HVHF treatment of 18 hours per day on 1,3,5,7 days on the basis of conventional therapy.Patients in the PiCCO + HVHF group received HVHF treatment according to PiCCO.The indexes of lung function and PiCCO monitoring were recorded at intensive care unit (ICU) admission (before) and 4 days and 7 days after treatment.The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the prognosis of patients was recorded.Results In three groups,oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2),static lung compliance (Cs) were gradually increased,and respiratory rate (RR),lactic acid (Lac) were gradually decreased.The indicators in HVHF and PiCCO + HVHF groups were significantly improved compared with conventional therapy group.The indexes in PiCCO + HVHF group were significantly increased or decreased compared with those in HVHF group,and the statistical differences were found on the 7th day after treatment [PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):189.3 ± 36.8 vs.166.3 ± 36.1,Cs (mL/cmH2O):76.7 ± 18.9 vs.67.0 ± 18.2,RR (times/min):16.4 ±5.2 vs.19.2 ± 5.4,Lac (mmol/L):1.20 ±0.41 vs.1.41 ±0.43,all P＜0.01].In PiCCO +HVHF group,cardiac index (CI) was gradually increased,and extra vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and intra thoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) were gradually decreased.There were significant differences in the indexes 4 days and 7 days after treatment compared with those before treatment [CI (L·min-1·m-2):4.62 ± 1.13,4.83 ± 1.10 vs.4.01 ± 1.02,EVLWI (mL/kg):7.6 ± 2.7,6.5 ± 2.6 vs.12.4 ± 2.9,ITBVI (mL/m2):801.3 ± 120.9,785.4 ± 118.7 vs.980.1 ± 168.6,all P＜0.01].After treatment,the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in three groups were gradually decreased.Compared with the conventional therapy group,the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β on 4 days and 7 days in the HVHF and PiCCO + HVHF groups were significantly decreased,and the statistical differences were found on 7 days [TNF-α (ng/L):68.35 ± 12.63,67.54 ± 12.90 vs.85.35 ± 13.70; IL-1β (ng/L):424.6 ± 142.9,412.2 ± 140.2 vs.895.2 ± 187.7,all P＜0.01].Compared with the HVHF group,the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the PiCCO + HVHF group were slightly decreased without statistical differences.Compared with the conventional therapy group,the number of organ failure,duration of mechanical ventilation,the length of stay in ICU and hospital mortality in HVHF group and PiCCO + HVHF group were lowered,and the statistical differences were found in PiCCO + HVHF group compared with HVHF group [number of organ failure:2.41 ± 0.79 vs.2.72 ± 0.80,duration of mechanical ventilation (days):4.8 ± 2.0 vs.5.7 ± 2.1,the length of stay in ICU (days):11.5 ± 3.4 vs.13.1 ± 3.6,hospital mortality:31.0％ (18/58) vs.41.8％ (23/55),all P＜0.05].Conclusions Levels of inflammatory factors in patients with ARDS could be reduced by HVHF.The oxygenation and compliance of lung can be improved,the number of organ failure can be lowered,the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of stay in ICU can be shortened,and the hospital mortality could be declined by PiCCO guided HVHF.

Objective To explore the role and significance of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in angiogenesis through observing the relationship between the expression of MMP-9 and microvessel density (MVD) in glioma. Methods The expressions of MMP-9 and CD34 in 10 cases of normal brain tissues and 58 cases of glioma (14 cases of grade Ⅰ , 20 cases of grade Ⅱ , 15 cases of grade Ⅲ, and 9 cases of grade Ⅳ ) were detected by immunohistochemical streptavidin-peroxidase technique. The positive cells of MMP-9 and the positive microvessels were examined under binocular light microscope. Results The positive expression of MMP-9 in glioma was located in the tumor-cell cytoplast and endothelial cells. The positive rate of MMP-9 in glioma of grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was 42.9%, 65.0%, 86.7% and 88. 9%, respectively. The expression of MMP-9 was obviously higher than that of normal brain tissues (P<0.01) and positively correlated with glioma malignancy (rz =0. 597, P<0.05). MVD was correlated with glioma malignancy (H=47. 865, P<0. 05). The expression of MMP-9 was significantly correlated with MVD (rz =0.897, P<0.01). Conclusion The expressions of MMP-9 and MVD are correlated with glioma malignancy, which may be helpful in judging the malignancy, invasion and prognosis. MMP-9 plays an important role in angiogenesis of glioma and accelerates glioma malignancy development by promoting angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the value of ultrasound-guided diffuse optical tomography (US-guided DOT) to predict clinical efficacy of breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods Eighty-eight breast cancer patients with 93 lesions were included.Pre-and post-last chemotherapy,the size,total hemoglobin concentration (THC) of each lesion were measured by ultrasonography (US) and US-guided DOT.Based on the guidelines to evaluate the response to treatment in solid tumors,the lesions of treated breast cancer patients were divided into 4 types of responses to NAC:complete response (CR),partial response (PR),stable disease (SD),and progressive disease (PD).Efficient groups include CR and PR groups.Results As expected,no significant difference was found in size and THC for untreated lesions (all P ＞0.05).However,for the treated lesions(P =0.001),THC,pre-vs post-treatment size changes (△Size％) (P =0.002) and THC changes (△THC％) (P ＜0.001) were significantly varied among CR,PR,SD,PD groups.When compared with pre-treated,tumor sizes after treatment were changed significantly in all CR(P ＜0.001),PR(P ＜0.001),SD (P =0.023) and PD (P =0.001),while significant change of THC was only found in CR(P ＜0.001),PR(P ＜0.001) and SD (P =0.002).When △THC％ =23.9％ as the threshold for prediction of NAC efficiency,the area under the curve of ROC was 0.75,and the sensitivity was 73.7％,specificity was 76.5 ％,positive predictive value was 93.3 ％,negative predictive value was 39.4％,accuracy was 74.2％.Conclusions △size％ changes in consistent with △THC％ among the intergroups,but their changes levels are different,the highest change percent appears in CR,gradually decreased in PR,SD groups.△THC％ will contribute to predict preoperative clinical NAC efficacy.

Objective To investigate the abnormality of cerebral laterality of the three attentional networks (alerting, orienting, executive control) in patients with bipolar depression disorder. Methods Patients with bipolar depression disorder (n=28) and healthy controls (n=40) were selected. Lateralized Attention Network Test (LANT) was used to explore the efficiency of the networks in bilateral cerebral hemisphere. Results In the response time (RT), there was a significant interaction between groups and hemispheres in orienting network (F=4.67, P=0.03). The result of post hoc test indicated that the RT in the orienting function was significantly longer in the left hemisphere than in the right in control group (t=-4.47, P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the orienting network between the left and right hemisphere in patients with the depressive bipolar disorder. Conclusion Attention is impaired in patients with depressive bipolar disorder in which the disappearance of left hemisphere advantage of orienting network is the main manifestation of attention impairments.

Objective To investigate the indicators of thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke,find out the early warning value,and provide guidance for decision-making of emergency doctors.Methods Patients with acute ischemic stroke who were treated with thrombolytic therapy from January,2010 to August,2017 in our hospital were enrolled in this study.According to the modified Rankin scale,patients were divided into the good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the relative dependent risk factors.Results Totally 210 patients were enrolled in the good prognosis group and 152 patients in the poor prognosis group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score on admission,blood glucose,systolic blood pressure before thrombolytic therapy,homocysteine,onset-to-needle time and previous history of diabetes mellitus were independent risk factor for poor prognosis (P＜0.05).Conclusions Risk factors as NIHSS score on admission,blood glucose,systolic blood pressure before thrombolytic therapy,homocysteine,onsetto-needle time and previous history of diabetes mellitus are early warning indicators of poor prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombolytic therapy.
