Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of E-cadherin catenin complex(CCC) and the invasiveness of pituitary adenoma.Methods The expession of E-cadherin catenin complex was determined by immunohistochemistry in 45 cases of human pituitary adenomas by random sampling,including invasive adenoma 27 cases,noninvasive adenoma 18 cases.The relativity of their expression with hormone-producing,pituitary apoplexy and necrosis or cystoid change,tumor diameter was analyzed.Results The invasive group had a significantly lower expression of E-cad and ?-cat than that of noninvasive group(?2=8.551,P0.05).Moreover,the expression of E-cad was significantly lower in endocrine inactive group than that in endocrine active group(?2 =5.020,P

Objective To investigate relationship of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)at rs5029924 locus in A20 promoter region and posttraumatic sepsis.Methods PCR-DNA sequencing was used to analyze different gene distribution at rs5029924 locus of 103 trauma patients with sepsis (Group A),120 trauma patients without sepsis (Group B) and 135 healthy peoples (control group).Relation of different genotypes at rs5029924 locus to sepsis susceptibility was analyzed.Peripheral blood cells of healthy peoples of different genotypes were stimulated using lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in vitro.Expression of A20 mRNA was measured by fluorescent quantitative PCR,expression of A20 protein by flow cytometry,and levels of TNF-α and IL-1β by ELISA method.Results Frequency of rs5029924 genotypes CC,CT and TT was respective 77.8％,20.0％ and 2.2％ in control group； 63.1％,34.0％ and 2.9％ in Group A； 83.3％,15.0％ and 1.7％ in Group B.Significantly lower frequency of CC genotype was observed in Group A when compared to Group B and control group (P ＜0.05),but no statistical differences were recorded between Group B and control group (P ＞ 0.05).CT/TT genotype increased risk coefficient of sepsis to 2.397-fold higher level when compared to CC genotype.Allele T increased prevalence of sepsis significantly as well (OR =2.056) when compared to allele C.After LPS treatment in vitro,CC genotype individuals revealed significantly higher levels of A20 mRNA and protein in peripheral blood leukocytes,but significantly lower levels of TNF-α and IL-1 β when compared to CT/TT genotype individuals.Conclusion Polymorphism of rs5029924 locus is associated with sepsis susceptibility and the reason may be that mutant genes affect promoter activity and down-regulate A20 expression,which fails to suppress inflammation.

Methods A total of 78 early breast cancer patients, who were treated in the First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan between January 2001 and September 2008, were identified and followed. Among them, 36 were in stage Ⅰ and 42 in stage Ⅱ. Tangential irradiation was used with a dose of 50 Gy. Tumor bed received a boost dose of 10 Gy electron beam. For axillary lymph node-positive patients, ipsilateral supraclavicular field was hybrid irradiated with 50 Gy X and electron beam.Results The total follow-up ranged from 6 to 98 months. Local recurrence was observed among 4.9% of the patients. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rate were 96.6% and 92.7% ,respectively. The breast cosmetic satisfaction rate was 94.9%. The main complications reported were acute skin reaction and upper limb edema.Conclusion Breast-conserving surgery and post-operative radiotherapy in early breast cancer patients can lead to satisfactory survival rates and cosmetic effects and hence improved life quality.

Objective To screen 8 series of LY compounds, c-Met tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and evaluate their anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo. Methods Preliminary screening was carried out by detecting the c-Met kinase phosphor?ylation inhibition activity of the compounds. CCK-8 assay was adopted for secondary anti-tumor screen of the selected com?pounds using MKN-45, U87MG, Caki-1 and PC-3 cell lines in vitro. The transplanted tumor model of U87MG cells in nude mice was established to evaluate the antitumor activity in vivo. Results Four compounds (LY22, LY25, LY28 and LY32) with better activities were selected by HTRF method, in which LY28 had better inhibitory effect on c-Met than that of Crizo?tinib. The above active compounds showed different degrees of inhibition on the four kinds of target cells (MKN-45, U87MG, Caki-1 and PC-3) detected by CCK-8 method, and the inhibitory effect of LY28 showed the most obvious. Antitumor activi?ty in vivo showed that LY28 can significantly inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. The tumor inhibitory rate in high-dose of LY28 was 78.13%. Conclusion The compound LY28 has good antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo, which will be a new tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

[Objective] To observe the preventive effect of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HJD), a prescription with the actions of clearing heat and removing toxicity, on rabbits atherosclerosis (AS) induced by Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) infection. [Methods] Fifty two New Zealand rabbits were fed with forage containing 2. 5g/kg cholesterol and were infected with CP via nasopharynx for three times during 6 weeks. At the end of the sixth week, forty four rabbits with serum CP-IgG positive were randomized into 4 groups: group A treated with HJD 2g?kg-1 ?d-1 by gastric gavage, group B with HJD 1g?kg-1?d-1, group C with azithromycin 20 mg?kg-1?d-1 and model group D with normal saline for 6 weeks. Group E was set up in 8 rabbits fed with fatty forage and served as the control. Serum levels of high-sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and CP-IgG were detected before infection, after infection and after treatment. At the end of the 18th week, the rabbits were executed and the pathological features of aortic tissue were observed under microscope. Meanwhile, the expression of CP-DNA and tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF-?) in the aortic tissue was detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical method respectively. [Results] At the end of the experiment, atherosclerotic changes were obvious in groups D and E, particularly in group D. Compared with group D, the atherosclerotic damage was much relieved, and AS indexes such as maximum intimal thickness (MIT), atherosclerotic damage percentage and plaque area index were much improved in groups A and C (P
