Objective To investigate the expression of Chemerin in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) and cervical cancer and its relation with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods The expression of Chemerin was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 35 cervical cancer cases,20 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia cases and 20 normal persons.The association of serum level of Chemerin with clinicopathological charactersistics was analyzed.Results The level of Chemerin was the highest in cervical cancer cases [(2113.35 ± 198.64) ng/L],higher in CIN [(1562.78 ± 158.65) ng/L],and low in normal persons [(946.36 ± 113.57) ng/L],showing significant difference among three groups.The serum level of Chemerin in cervical cancer were positively correlated with Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).Serum Chemerin levels were increased with clinical FIGO stage and showed significantly positive correlation with FIGO stage (rs =0.92,P =O.000).Conclusions The expression of Chemerin in patients with cervical carcinoma is increased.Chemerin may be used as reference indicator to predict its progression in cervical carcinoma.

Recently, the morbidity of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) has increased annually. American Thyroid Association (ATA) published the management guidelines for patients with thyroid nodules and DTC in 2006 in order to standardize their management. The ATA guidelines was updated for the ifrst time in 2009 and its renewed version was completed in 2015 based on the considerable progress that had been made in the ifelds such as diagnostic assessment and management of thyroid nodules, surgery and radioactive iodine therapy for DTC in recent years. This article tried to interpret the updated contents about radioactive iodine therapy for DTC in 2015 version of the guidelines.

As an important postsurgical adjuvant treatment for DTC, radioactive iodine (RAI) is administered to eliminate residual thyroid tissue as well as the potentially persistent or distant metastatic lesions.It plays a significant role in reducing disease recurrence and tumor-related mortality.The major challenge at present in RAI treatment decision-making is how to achieve optimum clinical outcome with minimal radiation exposure.ATA guidelines recommends a postsurgical recurrence-risk adapted approach to RAI treatment management based on the clinicopathological features.However, RAI therapy is not beneficial to all DTC patients.The potential benefits from RAI therapy in DTC patients with different risk stratification have attracted much attention, and are reviewed in this article in order to provide more evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making.

Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction(SOD) is grouped under the functional gastrointestinal diseases.Due to lack of typical symptoms and signs,the diagnosis of SOD is difficult.The proposal to classify SOD significantly improves diagnosis and has important clinical significance in selecting treatment.This paper reviews the researches on classification,recent progress in diagnosis and treatment of SOD.

Objective To study the adverse effects on periodontal tissues caused by crownless roots in elderly people with osteoporosis. Methods Totally 60 12?week SD rats(30 male and 30 female)were randomly divided into the control group(10 male and 10 female sham?operated rats)and the osteoporosis group(20 male and 20 female castrated rats). After 12 weeks,the bone mineral density of right femora was measured by dual energy X?ray for all rats to confirm osteoporosis. The right molar crown was pinched off with haemostatic forceps and the molar root was retained. The 10 con?trol rats and the 20 experimental rats were sacrificed respectively at postoperative 2 and 4 weeks. The periodontal tissues of right molar were sampled and the morphology of the parodontium and the alveolar bone was observed by haematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and the expression of tumour necrosis factor?alpha(TNF?α)and inducible nitric oxide synthase?2(NOS2)was detected by immunohistochemical staining and real time fluores?cent quantitative PCR(qRT?PCR). Results The HE slices indicated that the periodontal tissues in the osteoporosis group were significantly im?paired compared to the control group as the structure of parodontium loosened. Bone impairment aggravated over time. TNF?αstaining showed as a few claybank spots on the parodontium in the control group,while the staining colour was darkened in the osteoporosis group. The expression of TNF?αmRNA was significantly higher in the osteoporosis group than in the control group(P<0.05). The result of NOS2 was contrary to that of TNF?α. The differences in TNF?αand NOS2 were not statistically significant at 2 and 4 weeks(P>0.05). Conclusion The crownless roots in rats with os?teoporosis cause adverse effects of periodontal tissues as the roots accelerate absorption of the surrounding alveolar tissues. It is indicated that crown?less roots in elderly people with osteoporosis should be removed as soon as possible.

AIM: To study the protective effects of intravenous (iv) CGRP on myocardial injury in rat. METHODS: Establish a rat myocardial ischemic injury model by subcutaneous injection of single dose of isoproterenol (ISO), and treat the model with single dose of iv CGRP. Two hours later, serum CK, LDH, MDA and SOD levels were measured, MDA and SOD in myocardial tissue were tested, and myocardial tissue structures were observed. RESULTS:(1) Serum MDA and tissue MDA levels increased significantly and serum SOD and tissue SOD decreased significantly in injury group, in the CGRP treated group, the above changes were reversed (P

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of glucocorticoids in the treatment of granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), and to discuss the optimal stage to add glucocorticoids during the treatment. Methods Twenty-four patients having received the core needle biopsy were involved. Ten cases with the explicit pathological diagnosis received the glucocorticoids therapy following the subtotal excision after remission. Pathological diagnoses of the rest 14 patients were undefined. For these 14 patients, simple partial excisions were given and the postoperative pathological diagnoses were presented as the GLM. Of all the 14 patients who accepted the surgical treatment firstly, 8 patients received the postoperative glucocorticoids adjuvant therapy. For the rest 6 patients, steroid hormone therapy was not used after surgery, and they were followed up postoperatively. All patients' clinical and pathological information were collected and analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for 6-36 months (average 18) by the outpatient service. Of all the 10 patients who received the glucocorticoids therapy before surgery, only 1 patient of them got the GLM recurrence. For the 8 patients who received the postoperative glucocorticoids treatment, only 1 patient got the recurrence. For the 6 patients who received simple partial excision, the recurrence of the GLM may be up to 3. There was no statistical difference between the two groups who both received the 05). But compared with the pure surgery treatment, the difference was obviously (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical presentation and imaging performance of GLM are unspecific, so the diagnosis of the GLM is difficult. There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for GLM. The glucocorticoids therapy may be necessary preoperatively or postoperatively. For the patient with clear preoperative biopsy diagnosis, preoperative glucocorticoids adjuvant chemotherapy followed by the wide excision may be an effective method.

Objective To study the characteristics of EEG after tramsient ischemic attack and to offer reference for screening procedure of aircrew and astronaut selection. Method The dominant frequency uncertainty of alpha band EEG in 12 pilots(males; age 30±5) with transient ischemic episodes in middle cerebral artery(MCA) territories and in 20 normal healthy pilots was analyzed with frequency-fluctuation analysis. Result The dominant probability of the main frequency coinciding with sites affected by transient ischaemic attack(TIA) in patient pilots was higher than that in healthy pilots (P<0.01),and the dominant probability ratio logarithmic index I≥0 in all patient pilots with normal EEG, but I<0 in all healthy pilots. It was also found that not only I≥0, but the second component shifted to lower frequency(8 Hz) in patients with slight focal EEG alterations,i.e. slowing of frequency. The relative entropy values (percentage) were decreased significantly in pilots with TIA as compared with healthy pilots (P＜0.05). Conclusion The dominant frequency uncertainty analysis of alpha band showed clear superiority of computerized evaluation over routine visual assessment for the diagnosis of minor cerebral ischemia. It offers not only a possibility of studying pathophysiological functional parameter, but also the reference for screening procedure in aircrew and astronaut selection.

Objective To evaluate the kinetics of peripheral blood cells in DTC patients before and after 131I treatment.Methods A total of 64 patients were divided into 2 groups with different therapeutic doses:high-dose group (3.70-5.55 GBq,n =24) and low-dose group (1.11 GBq,n =40).The WBC,neutrophils (NEUT),lymphocytes (LY),RBC and PLT were counted before operation,before 131I treatment,and on 3 d and 7 d after 131I treatment.One-way analysis of variance and two-sample t test were used to analyze the data.Results The counts of WBC and NEUT in both groups along with the LY in high-dose group varied significantly before,and on 3 d and 7 d after 131I treatment(WBC:high-dose group,(6.30±1.04),(8.86±2.07),(6.59±1.64) × 109/L;low-dose group,(6.65±1.48),(10.17±3.04),(7.17± 1.57) ×109/L; NEUT:high-dose group,(3.75±0.88),(6.42± 1.91),(4.53± 1.54) × 109/L; low-dose group,(3.88±0.90),(7.12±2.77),(4.40±1.17) × 109/L;LY:(2.11±0.67),(2.06±0.74),(1.59±0.49) × 109/L;F values:3.88 to 30.20,all P＜0.05).The counts of WBC and NEUT in both groups were significantly higher on 3 d after 131I treatment than that before treatment (all P＜0.05).The counts of WBC and NEUT in both groups along with the LY in high-dose group decreased significantly on 7 d compared to that on 3 d after 131I treatment (all P＜0.05).The counts of LY in high-dose group also significantly decreased on 7 d after 131I treatment than before treatment(P＜0.05).The counts of RBC before 131I treatment and LY on 7 d after 131I treatment were significantly different between the 2 groups(t=2.36,-4.30,both P＜0.05).Compared with the counts before operation,LY,RBC and PLT were significantly higher (t values:from-4.92 to-2.45,all P＜0.05) during hypothyroid state induced by thyroxine withdrawal before 131I treatment.Conclusions Short-term kinetics of WBC and NEUT present as an increase first followed by a decrease after 131I treatment; while LY of high-dose group presents as a gradually decrease.Hypothyroid state induced by levo-thyroxine withdrawal leads to increased counts of LY,RBC and PLT before 131I treatment.
