Objective To explore the role of HPV16 and p53 protein in the pathogenesis of tumors of nasal cavity and sinus of Chinese people. Methods The expression of HPV16 and p53 in 58 tumor samples of nasal cavity and sinus was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results There was no p53 expression in inverted pipillomas(IP). HPV16 infection rate in IP was 62.5%. The positive rate of p53 protein in the malignant tumors and IP with atypical hyperplasia was 56.0% and 44.4%, respectively, and HPV16 infection rate in the both tissues was 24.0% and 66.7%, respectively. The positive rate of p53 and HPV16 simultaneous expression in IP with atypical hyperplasia were 33.3%, which was higher than that in the malignant tumors and IP without atypical hyperplasia. Conclusion The high-risk HPV16 infection may be primary cause of IP. p53 gene mutation may be close relation with the pathogenesis of nasal cavity and sinus malignant tumors. HPV16 and p53 may have synergic effect in the malignant transformation of nasal cavity and sinus benign tumors.

0.05). Conclusion The p53 gene mutation has close relation with nasal malignant tumor , and may has no related to the pathogenesis of IP possible.

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of invigorating spleen, clearing heat and eliminating stasis drugs on QOUH of gastric mucosa and expression of EGF and EGFR in rat model of gastric ulcer. Methods The rat model of gastric ulcer was constructed by injection of acetic acid. The rats were randomly divided into model group, ranitidine group, invigorating spleen group, clearing heat group, eliminating stasis group, complex prescription group and normal control group. The ulcer index (UI), regenerate mucosal thickness, lamina muscularis mucosal width were observed by HE, and the level of EGF was detected by ELISA. The expression of EGFR in the mucosa around the ulcer was detected by SABC kit immunohistochemical method. Results Compared with model group, the regenerate mucosal thickness, lamina muscularis mucosae defect width and UI in invigoraing spleen, clearing heat, elimianting stasis and complex prescription groups were different significantly (P

BACKGROUND:Cytological studies show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s play an important role in postmenopausal osteoporosis mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To study the osteogenic differentiation in vitro of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from ovariectomied osteoporotic rats.
METHODS:The osteoporotic animal model was established by performing ovariectomy in the 6-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats. There were four groups:bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s control group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s osteoporosis group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s osteogenic induction group and oseogenesis induction group. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from the rats of control group and oseogenesis induction group by means of the whole bone marrow adherence method and cultured to the 3rd generation. Then the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were used in al the experiments. Cel morphology was observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope, cel cycle and proliferation index of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were detected by flow cytometry. After osteogenic induction, the expression level of alkaline phosphatase was detected, and the fornation of calcium nodes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were marked by alizarin red staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cel s in the osteogenic induction group and oseogenesis induction group had the morphology of osteobalsts, and the change of morphology of the cel s in the oseogenesis induction group was relatively tardiness. The proliferation index in the control group was higher than that in the osteoporosis group (P<0.05);expression level of alkaline phosphatase in the osteogenic induction group was significantly higher than that in the oseogenesis induction group (P<0. 05), and the control group was significantly higher than the oseogenesis group (P<0.05). The alizarin red staining of the cel s in the osteogenic induction group was positive, while negative in the control group and the oseogenesis group;the staining in the osteogenic induction group was stronger than that in the oseogenesis induction group. These findings indicate that both the proliferative potential and the osteogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from the ovariectomized osteoporotic rats are decreased, which may be related with the ostoeporosis pathogensis of ovariectomied rats.

Objective Toinvestigate the related risk factors of newly diagnosed diabetes among residents aged over 40 years in Nanjing City , and to provide evidence for diabetes prevention. Methods The clinical data were collected from the diabetes epidemiologic investigation among residents aged 40 -79 years from 6 communities in Nanjing City. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the potential risk factors for newly diagnosed diabetes. Results The prevalence rate of new diagnosed diabetes from 8039 subjects was 10.87%. A higher prevalence rate of new diagnosed diabetes was found in male than that in female (13.15% vs. 9.74%, P < 0.01). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the main risk factors for newly diagnosed diabetes were male, age, family history, body mass index (BMI) and less physical activity after adjusting other factors (adjusted OR 1.339-1.862, P < 0.05). Conclusions Male, age, family history, body mass index (BMI) and less physical activity may be the main risk factors for diabetes among residents in Nanjing City.

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor play an important role in promoting healing of osteoporotic fractures, but whether it can affect the bone mineral density is not clear. OBJECTIVE: To observe the correlation between serum vascular endothelial growth factor, bone mineral density and the number of osteoblasts in the ovariectomized rats. METHODS: Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into ovariectomized group and control group. After 3 months, the bone mineral density of the whole body, femur and lumbar spine was measured. Rat enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit was used to measure the level of serum vascular endothelial growth factor. Then, the rats in two groups received femoral metaphyseal fixation, decalcified, dehydrated, embeding in paraffin, slicing and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Each slice was free to take five fields of view (10×40) in order to count the osteoblasts of femur distal metaphysis under optical microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After ovariectomized for 3 months, the rats body mass was increased significantly (P < 0.05), and the bone mineral density of the whole body, femur and lumbar spine in the ovariectomized group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05), indicating the successful establishment of osteoporosis model. There was no significant difference in vascular endothelial growth factor level between the ovariectomized group and the control group (P > 0.05), and the difference of the osteoblast number between ovariectomized group and control group was not significant (P > 0.05). This indicated that there was no correlation between bone mineral density and the number of osteoblasts and vascular endothelial growth factor level in the ovariectomized group and the control group. These findings suggest that the bone mineral density is reduced and the body mass is increased in the ovariectomized rats, and the reduced bone mineral density of ovariectomized rats may be irrelevant with the change of serum vascular endothelial growth factor.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the epidemiological data of 2 829 cases of head and neck cancer, as well as pro-vide guidance and basis for the prevention and treatment of head and neck cancer among the inhabitants of Xinjiang. Methods:Data on head and neck cancers diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between January 2002 and December 2011 were collected, and constituent ratios were analyzed. Results:The sample consisted of 1 657 (58.57%) males and 1 172 (41.43%) females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.4:1. Median age was 55 years, mainly distributed in the range of 40 years to 69 years. Patients within this age group constituted 63.38% of the total patients. Ethnic groups comprising the samples were as follows: Han, 59.5%;Uygur, 27.7%;Kazakh, 6.3%;Hui, 3.1%;and Mongol, 1.6%. Other ethnic groups constituted 1.6%of the sample. The five cancers with the highest constituent ratios were oral cancer, thyroid carcinoma, laryngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and nasal sinus cancer. The five most common cancers diagnosed in males were oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, nasal sinus cancer, and thy-roid carcinoma;those in women were thyroid carcinoma, oral cancer, nasal sinus cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and facial skin can-cer. The five most common cancers by ethnic groups were identified as follows:thyroid carcinoma, oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, naso-pharyngeal cancer, and nasal sinus cancer in Han patients;oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, nasal sinus cancer, thyroid carcinoma, and laryngeal cancer in Uygur patients;and oral cancer, thyroid cancer, nasal sinus cancer, laryngeal cancer, and oropharyngeal and hy-popharyngeal cancer in Kazakh patients. Conclusion:Efforts toward cancer prevention should be focused on oral and thyroid cancers. Sufficient attention is needed for the prevention and treatment of laryngeal, nasopharyngeal, and nasal sinus cancer in the Xinjiang area.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) and its effects on the quality of life in a large sample prospective study.Methods A total of 1098 patients of either sex,aged 18-70 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective surgery,were enrolled in the study.Data regarding patient age,gender,body mass index,educational level,marital status,living situations,occupation,pre-surgical pain in the site of surgery,complications,type of surgery,surgery time and anesthesia method were recorded.The highest numeric rating scale scores within 3 days after surgery were also recorded.The patients were followed up at 3,6 and 12 months after surgery to record the development of CPSP.The patients were divided into CPSP group and non-CPSP group according to whether or not CPSP developed.Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for CPSP,and the quality of life was scored.Results A total of 981 patients completed the 1 year follow-up after surgery,the incidence of CPSP was 35.7％,and the constituent ratio of the distribution of the course was as follows:3 months ≤ postsurgical course ＜ 6 months was 33.1％;6 months ≤ postsurgical course ＜ 12 months was 16.8％;postsurgical course ≥ 12 months was 50.1％.Female,no diabetes mellitus and pre-surgical pain in the site of surgery were the independent risk factors for CPSP (P＜ 0.05).Compared with non-CPSP group,the physiological function score,professional function score,body pain score,vitality score,social function score,mental health score and general health score were significantly decreased (P＜0.01),and no significant change was found in the emotional function score in CPSP group (P＞0.05).Conclusion The probability of development of CPSP is high and the course is long,and the quality of life score is decreased;female,no diabetes mellitus and pre-surgical pain in the site of surgery are the independent risk factors for CPSP.

Objective:To summarize the therapeutic effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia.Methods:Detailed clinical information and peripheral blood of children with dystonia at Peking University First Hospital from April 2017 to July 2020 were collected.The motor scores of Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale were recorded of the dystonia before and after the treatment of DBS.Whole-exome sequencing was performed on children with dystonia.Then the effect of DBS was evaluated.Results:A total of 32 cases of patients with dystonia treated with DBS were enrolled, including 16 males and 16 females.Twelve cases were treated with globus pallidus internus DBS, and 20 cases were treated with subthalamic nucleus DBS.Twenty cases (62.5%) with pathogenic gene mutations were detected.Pathogenic variants in PANK2 (9 cases), KMT2B(3 cases), GNAO1 (2 cases), GCDH (2 cases), PINK1(1 case), NDUFAF6(1 case), DYT27(1 case) and ADCY5(1 case) were found.The follow-up period was 1 month to 3 years and 8 months.Only 1 case had local infection due to improper home care.The postoperative improvement was 5.66%-95.92%. Conclusions:All patients have a certain degree of relief after DBS without obvious adverse reactions.DBS is an effective treatment for pediatric dystonia.

Objective: To study the mutational characteristics of KCNT1 and its clinical features in children with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy. Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 175 children with early onset epilepsy from the Department of Pediatrics at Peking University First Hospital from January 2012 to December 2017. Gene-based analysis was performed on children with targeted capture second-generation sequencing and the source of mutations was verified by PCR-Sanger. The clinical features of children with KCNT1 mutation were summarized. Results: In 175 infants with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, 6 children were found to have KCNT1 mutations, all of which were new mutations with an overall mutation rate of 3.4% (6/175). All the mutations were missense mutations. The age of onset was from 2 days to 32 days. Five children were diagnosed with epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizure, one case was diagnosed with epilepsy, focal seizures, focal seizures with generalization. A total of 6 children were treated with multi-antiepileptic drugs. The disease in 4 patients were partially controlled, while in 2 patients, the disease was not significantly alleviated. One patient died of "severe pneumonia" at one year and 4 months of age. Then, four cases were treated with quinidine. The seizure frequency had no change in 3 cases, the frequency decreased and then relapsed in 1 case. The case once ketogenic diet and failed. Ketogenic diet treatment was applied to 5 cases, no significant effect was achieved. All the 6 patients had severe developmental delay. They could not sit alone, follow the light and objects and had no language. Conclusions The mutation of KCNT1 gene is mainly de novo. The onset of the disease was early, and mostly occurs in neonate and early infancy. The main seizure type was epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizure. Patients usually had severe psychomotor developmental delay. Antiepileptic drugs are ineffective. The efficacy of quinidine was not significant. Though, it still need studies on a large sample.
