Objectives To investigate HPV infection and its correlati on with the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibito r of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC). Meth ods HPV6/11 and 16/18 DNA were detected using in situ hybridization in 26 case s of VSCC, 21 cases of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and 10 specimens o f normal skin. The expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 was measured by immunohistoche mical method in these three groups. Results The infection rates of HPV6/11 and 16/18 in VSCC and VIN were 69.23% (18/26) and 38.46% (10/26), 42.86% (9/21) and 28.57% (6/21) respectively, and no HPV6/11 or 16/18 DNA was discovered in norma l skin epidermis. The expression rates of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in VSCC, VIN and norm al skin epidermis were 92.31%(24/26) and 76.92% (20/26), 90.45% (19/21) and 80.9 5% (17/21), and 80.00% (8/10) and 50.00% (5/10) respectively. MMP-9 expression in HPV positive lesions was higher than that in HPV negative lesions, but no sig nificant difference of TIMP-1 expression was observed in HPV positive and negati ve lesions. Conclusions HPV infection may play a role in the development of VS CC. The higher expression of MMP-9 comparing with that of TIMP-1 may be an early marker of tumor progression in VSCC, and HPV infection may facilitate the invas ion and metastasis of VSCC.

Aim:To develop a practical chiral CE method for the quantitative determination of the unwanted enantiomer[( R )-enantiomer]presented in zolmitriptan. Methods:The background electrolyte was 20 mmol/L sodium dihydrogenphosphate solution with 1% S-β-CD,adjusted to pH 3.50 with phosphoric acid. A fused-silica capillary(60 cm×50 μm ID,effective length 51.5 cm)was used at 20 ℃ for the separation. The applied voltage was -30 kV. The samples were loaded by hydrodynamic injection(50 mbar pressure,6 s). UV was measured at 220 nm. Results:Zolmitriptan and its chiral impurity were baseline resolved ( R s=6.66). The linearity was good over the concentration range from 4 to 80 μg/mL( r =0.999 8) of ( R )-enantiomer. The injection precision (expressed as CV%) was 2.83%. The average recovery was 99.97%( n =9). The limit of detection was 1.5 μg/mL. The host-guest complex binding constants were 964 and 905 mol-1 for ( R )-enantiomer and zolmitriptan,respectively. Conclusion:The method is suitable for the determination of ( R )-enantiomer in zolmitriptan and binding constants of zolmitriptan enantiomers to S-β-CD.

Objective To investigate the management of external iliac artery mycotic hemorrhage after kidney transplantation. Methods A case of external iliac artery mycotic hemorrhage after kidney transplantation managed by the use of hypogastric artery autograft was reported with review of the literature.The massive blooding occurred 3 times after kidney transplantation in a male patient 25 years of age on the 22nd,24th and 38th day after transplantation.The blooding amounted to 800 ml,2500 ml and 3800 ml respectively.The blood loss was replaced and prompt surgical exploration was carried out with the blooding site at the anastomosis sutured up on the 1st and 2nd episode of bleeding.On the 3rd occurrence of bleeding, the diseased external iliac artery segment, about 2cm in length, was resected and the gap was replaced by a 3cm long hypogastric artery autograft. Results The blood flow through the repaired external iliac artery and the blood supply to the lower extremity was adequate.Periodic hemodialysis had been restored and the patient waited for reimplantation. Conclusions External iliac artery mycotic hemorrhage after kidney transplantation is a serious and fatal complication.Simple arterial repair is usually noneffective.Resection of the diseased mycotic segment of the external iliac artery with repairing of the gap with a hypogastric artery autograft is rational,feasible and simple.The procedure is highly recommended.

Objective To investigate the effects of GW4064,one FXR agonist,on the leptin and OB-Rb during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and on the OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells. Methods The mRNA relative expression of leptin , OB-Rb and the protein of leptin on the day of 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes after interfered with GW4064 were detected by fluorescent real-time PCR and ELISA , respectively. Meanwhile , the mRNA relative expression of OB-Rb of HepG2 cells after treated with GW4064 0 h , 12 h,24 h,48 h were also examined. Results The mRNA relative expression of leptin in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells after treated with GW4064 were significantly increased compared with the controlgroup. Also, the protein level of leptin was similar with the mRNA expression. The all differences were statistically significance (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference on OB-Rb in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes cells (P>0.05). Conclusions GW4064 is able to upregulate the expression of leptin in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells. Now the role of leptin in the NAFLD is still unkown, however, the low expression of OB-Rb is related with the leptin resistance in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. So we hypothesize that FXR agonist may treat NAFLD through upreglating the expression of OB-Rb and improving leptin resistance.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of different dietary protein intake (DPI) on nitrogen balance and nutritional indices in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and explore the minimal DPI to maintain nitrogen balance.MethodsThirty-four PD patients were randomly divided into group A, B and C with DPI as 1.2, 0.9 and 0.6 g·kg-1·d-1 respectively. All the patients admitted into our hospital and completed a 10-day assessment for nitrogen balance, as well as nutritional status including serum albumin (Alb), pre-albumin at baseline, the 7th and 10th day. ResultsThe DPI of group A, B and C was (1.18±0.05), (0.87±0.02), (0.66±0.03) g·kg-1·d-1, whose differences were significant (P<0.01). The dietary energy intake (DEI) was 129.29 (117.57-133.89), 111.71 (100.42-133.47), 146.86 (128.03-163.18) kJ·kg-1·d-1 respectively. Nitrogen balance was positive in group A, B, C [2.99 (2.15-4.72) g, 1.20(0.59-1.89) g, 0.24 (-0.87-1.27) g]. The BUN decreased at the 7th and 10th day (P<0.01) in group C. The BUN and phosphorus in group A increased, but without significant difference as compared to baseline. No significant differences of nutritional status were found among three groups throughout the trial. ConclusionMinimal DPI 0.65 g·kg-1·d-1 plus the supplement of protein loss in dialysate can maintain the nitrogen balance in peritoneal dialysis patients.
