Objective:To investigate the potential genes associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) progression through mi-croarray expression profiling data analysis and bioinformatics approaches. Methods:mRNA expression microarray data related to CIN progression were screened from GEO database for the first time. They were re-analyzed by bioinformatics analysis. Results: Two mRNA expression microarray datasets were obtained from the GEO database. Pathway enrichment analysis of the common differen-tially expressed genes identified 3 signaling pathways associated with CIN progression, including Wnt, Endocytosis, and Vibrio cholerae infection. Fourteen differentially expressed genes were also identified. Biological annotation and text mining showed that 3 genes were directly related to CIN progression, and 9 other genes were associated with tumor progression and recurrence. GeneMania tool analysis demonstrated the protein interaction network formed between all the differentially expressed genes and the 24 reported genes. CCND2 and TGFBR2 formed direct interaction with many reported genes. Conclusion:Three signaling pathways and 14 differen-tially expressed genes were associated with CIN progression, as indicated by microarray data analysis results.

Objective To study age-related structural changes of proximal humerusin Chinese Han adults,for the application inage estimation.Methods Shoulder joint computed radiographs(CR) of 210 Chinese Han adults were sampled,with 124 males aging from 18 to 83 years old and 86 females aging 18 to 60 years old.Four observation indexes (the height of humerus bone marrow cavity,the change of trabecular bone in proximal humeral epiphysis,the change of trabecular bone in humeral macronodular and the change of trabecular bone in subacromial-clavicular bone marrow cavity) related with age were observed and scored.The regression equations of age estimation and change scores were established and tested statistically.Results Every index wasclosely correlated with the age changes inadults.The changes of trabecular bone in proximal humeral epiphysis and the changes of trabecular bone in subacromialclavicular bone marrow cavity have much better effects than the height of humerus bone marrow cavity and the changes of trabecular bone in humeral macronodular.The regression equations could predict the age of Chinese Han adults with satisfactory accuracy.Conclusion CR changes of the height of humerus bone marrow cavity,the changes of trabecular bone in proximal humeral epiphysis,the changes of trabecular bone in humeral macronodular and the changes of trabecular bone in subacromial-clavieular bone marrow cavity can bepracticallyusefulin age estimation for Chinese Han adults.

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare and low-grade malignant tumor of vascular origin.Clinical symptoms and laboratory findings are unspecific.The definitive diagnosis can only be made by histopathalogi-cal investigation The primary treatments of choice are radical hepatic resection or liver transplantation. The role of differ-ent adjuvant therapies for patients with hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma remains to be determined.

BACKGROUND: With the continuous development of materials science, magnesium alloy vascular stent materials have become a hot research. Because of the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of commercial magnesium alloy, it is difficult to meet the requirements of vascular stents. Therefore, effective measures to improve the sten's surface properties and comprehensive performance become the focus of research.OBJECTIVE: To study the histology and surface modification of vascular stents in rapidly solidified Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy.Methods: The low-zinc Mg-2Zn-0.2Y alloy with good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance was selected as the basic material, and Nd and Zn elements were added to refine the alloy stents. After the microstructure of the stent was extruded, the surface modification of the stent was completed and the comprehensive properties of the alloy were improved. The new magnesium alloy for the stent was obtained and the stent surface was modified. The metallographic microstructure, scanning electron microscopy and radiological analysis were used to study the microstructure and mechanical properties of the prepared stents. The mechanical properties of the stents were investigated by hardness and tensile tests.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Metallographic microstructure results showed that: when Y elements were not added, the second phase of the magnesium alloy was rod-shaped, and there were a few granules embedded in the matrix. After addition of 0.5% Y elements, in the second phase of the magnesium alloy stent, the shafts were significantly reduced in number, and granules were increased in number and evenly distributed in the body. After the addition of 1% Y,the second phase number increased, a large number of dendrites were visible in the grains, and discontinuous rods existed in the second phase. After the addition of 1.5% Y, the second phase was rod-shaped, with mixture of large and local dendrites in the alloy. (2) X-ray diffraction test results: Mn-Zn-0.5Nd alloy and Mn-Zn-1.0Nd alloy contained the same phases (Mg4Zn7 and (Nd, Y) 2Zn17 phase). When the concentration of Nd increased to 1%, the new MgZn2 phase appeared in the alloy. (3) SEM & EDS test results of modified magnesium alloy showed that after magnesium alloy modification, the second phase contained Zn, Nd and Y elements, and their contents were very close. EDS analysis showed that after the addition of Zr elements, the level of Zn elements in the lamellar second phase decreased significantly, and the level of Nd and Y elements increased, indicating a more stable performance. (4) Micro-hardness test results showed that with the increasing of the content of magnesium alloy, the alloy microhardness increased. (5)Tensile test results showed that the tensile strength and yield strength of the Mg-Zn-Y-0.5Nd-Zr stent were significantly higher than those of Mg-Zn-Y-0.5Nd, Mg-Zn-Y-1.0Nd,Mg-Zn-Y-1.0Nd-Zr stents (P < 0.05); and the elongation at break of Mg-Zn-Y-0.5Nd-Zr and Mg-Zn-Y-1.0Nd-Zr stents was significantly higher than that of Mg-Zn-Y-1.0Nd and Mg-Zn-Y-0.5Nd stents (P < 0.05). To conclude, with Mg-2Zn-0.2Y as core materials, the material modification could be completed by the addition of Nd and Zn elements, and the surface modification could be implemented by extruding and refining the stent microstructure. The modified material has excellent properties.

Methods Thirty patients of SAP were divided into two groups. On the basis of routine treatment(supportive treatment,suppressing excrine of pancreas stilamin,trypsin inhibitor and antibiotics),hemofiltration,catheterizing drainage,stilamin and Dan Sen were added in group A,while only routine treatment were administered in group B. TNF,IL-6,IL-8,score of Balthazar CT and score of APACHEⅡ were studied in both groups. Results The value of TNF,IL-6,IL-8,score of Balthazar CT and score of APACHEⅡ in group A were significantly lower than those in group B(P

Histological characters of stems of Cirsium japonicum Fisch. ex DC. and C.chinense Gardn. et Champ. were described, compared and illustrated with line drawings. It was found that the following characters are important for disting uishing the two plants;(1) the type of stomata, vessels or fibres; (2) the presence or absence of secretory canal or tracheids.

Conclusions Xiaozhiling could be a new drug for clinical treatment of malignant tumor.

0.05). For the toxicity,Neutropenia and anemia were common in the three regimens. Thrombocytopenia was significantly mild on the NP regimen. For the PC regimen,gastrointestinal toxicity and nephrotoxicity were mostly mild,and peripheral neurotoxicity was most common. Conclusions:Efficacy was not significantly different between the three investigated regimens. These regimens could be use as first-line chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC. Toxicities of these regimens were different,so clinicians should apply the chemotherapy according to individual characteristics of patients.
