Background:Clinical and epidemiological studies revealed that estrogen replacement therapy was associated with a significant reduction in risk of colorectal cancer in postmenopausal women.In our previous studies,estrogen increased the expression of mismatch repair (MMR)gene MLH1 in colonic cancer cells,and re-expression of MLH1 in MLH-deficient colonic cancer cells significantly increased the estrogen-induced apoptosis.Aims:To investigate the signaling pathway implicated in the MLH1-mediated apoptosis in colonic cancer cells induced by estrogen and the roles of p53 and its related genes in this apoptotic pathway.Methods:Plasmid containing wild type human MLH1 (hMLH1)full length cDNA was transfected into MLH1-deficient human colonic cancer cell line HCT116.By using HCT116 cells transfected with empty plasmid as controls,the apoptotic DNA ladder was determined by electrophoresis and the expressions of p53 and other apoptosis-related proteins were assessed by Western blotting under the condition with or without estrogen stimulation. Results:17β-estradiol (E2 )at the concentration of 10 -8 mol/L induced significant apoptosis in HCT116 cells transfected with hMLH1.In HCT116 cells transfected with hMLH1 and stimulated with E2 (group D),the protein expressions of caspase-3,caspase-9,p53,Bax and cytoplasmic cytochrome C increased significantly when compared with HCT116 cells stimulated with E2 only (group B);expressions of the abovementioned proteins were also higher in group D than in group C (transfected with hMLH1 only).Conclusions:MMR gene MLH1 is involved in estrogen-induced apoptosis of human colonic cancer cell line HCT116 by activating p53 signaling and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

Objective To analyze the miss rates of colorectal adenomas during colonoscopy as well as risk factors influencing the adenoma miss rates and to take corresponding measures. Methods A total of 432 patients who underwent index and follow-up colonoscopy in 18 months were randomized and investigated. The results of two colonoscopies were compared and the missed adenomas were defined as the adenomas de-tected only during the second colonoscopy. Miss rates were calculated according to patient-based methods. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relative factors influencing the adenoma miss rate of per-patient. Then the meaningful factors were chosen into the logistic regression model for multiple factors analysis. Results Of 432 patients,116(26. 9%)had missed adenomas on first colonoscopy. Single factor analysis found that the size of adenoma( χ2 = 89. 686,P = 0. 000),the shape of adenoma( χ2 = 68. 488,P = 0. 000),the location of adenoma(χ2 = 77. 055,P = 0. 000)and adenoma tissue types(χ2 = 417. 000,P = 0. 000)were the risk factors for miss rates of colorectal adenomas. Number of polyps(χ2 = 8. 450,P= 0. 038),the organi-zation type of polyp(χ2 = 10. 718,P= 0. 013)and proficiency of colonoscopists(χ2 = 56. 069,P= 0. 000), the quality of bowel preparation(χ2 = 39. 195,P = 0. 000),insertion time(χ2 = 13. 133,P = 0. 001)were also the risk factors for miss rates of colorectal adenomas. Logistic regression analysis showed that the bigger the adenoma size,the less missed adenomas(OR= 0. 341,95%CI:0. 173-0. 671). Also,the longer insertion time took,the lower the adenoma miss rate(OR = 0. 987,95% CI:0. 981-0. 994). Per-patient miss rates were lower for high-risk adenomas compared with low-risk adenomas(OR = 0. 324,95%CI:0. 154-0. 680). Adenomas happening in multiple parts of bowel easily leads to missing(OR= 3. 791,95%CI:1. 505-9. 546). Conclusion The missed diagnosis of adenomas is not only significantly associated with features of missed adenomas,but also with skills of colonoscopists,insertion time,and bowel preparation. The key is high-quality index colonoscopy to avoid adenomas missing.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of prenatal ultrasonography in the fetal hemivertebra. Methods The ultrasonographic findings of three fetuses with hemivertebra diagnosed in our hospital were reviewed and compared with those of postnatal ultrasonography,other image modalities,and autopsy. Results In all fetuses,a distortion of the spine was observed where only one half of the vertebra could be identified. The parents opted for termination of the pregnancy in one case and the deformity was confirmed by autopsy. The other two fetuses were delivered and in one fetus the diagnosis was confirmed by radiological assessment. Conclusions Hemivertebra can be diagnosed accurately by second-trimester ultrasonography. The prognosis is mostly favorable when no other anomalies are associated. Meticulous examination may disclose the lesion and help decide the fate of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the method of the controlled synechiae technique to maintain the stability of middle turbinate (MT), reduce the incidence of middle meatus synechia formation and improve the treatment effect of endoscopy surgery.
METHOD:
Eighty-six patients with chronic sinusitis were randomly divided into control group and treatment group in this study. In control group, the patients received extended nasal packing in middle meatus until 1 week after surgery. In treatment group, the patients received the controlled synechiae technique.
RESULT:
The MT position was described as stable, slight drifting laterally and synechia formation. And the incidence of synechia between MT and the nasal lateral wall was 29.4% and 14.9% in control group and treatment group,respectively. The differences were significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
For those patients with anatomic variation, destruction or weak supporting structures resulted from previous surgery, the controlled synechiae technique is very useful in preventing lateralization of the middle turbinate after endoscopy surgery.
