Objective To investigate the effect of somatostatin on the internal environment in the patients with intestinal obstruction. Methods 226 patients with acute intestinal obstruction were randomiy divided into A and B groups. In group A, the patients received routine therapy, and in group B the patients received routine therapy plus somatostatin. The clinical, laboratory and immunological indices in the both groups were detected. Results The clinical, laboratory and immunological indices of patients in group B were obviously better than those of patients in group A(P

Objective To establish and identify transgenic mice model that specifically express delta drosophila homolog-like 1 (DLK1) in liver for the functional study of DLK1 on liver differentiation,hepatopathy,and hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The coding sequence of DLK1 cDNA was inserted downstream of mouse albumin gene enhancer/promoter to construct a liver-specific DLK1 expression recombinant vector.The DNA fragment of transgene digested from the recombinant vector by Pine I was transfected to Hepl-6 cells to verify the expression of DLK1 in vitro.Then the transgene fragment was microinjeeted into fertilized eggs of C57×CBA F1 mice and 20 transgenic founder mice were generated.The F1 mice of DLK1 transgenie founder mice were used to identify the expression of the transgene in liver and other tissues.Results RT-PCR and cellular immunofluorescence showed DLK1 expression when the transgene fragment was transfeeted into Hep1-6.For transgenic mice,RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry showed that DLK1 was specifically expressed in adult F1 mice liver.Conclusion Successfully established the liver-specific DLK1 expression transgenic mice model.

Objective To study the effects of diet and exercise intervention on prognosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods Fifty two patients with NAFLD received diet and exercise intervention.The treatment effects before and after intervention were analyzed.Result The body mass index(BMI),triglyceride(TG),cholesterol(TC)were significantly lower than those in control group after three-month intervention(all P<0.05).Conclusions Diet and exercise intervention can effectively improve liver function and promote the prognosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver,thus promote their quality of life.

Objective To discuss protein marks expressed differentially in placenta of Down's syndrome by means of proteomics. Methods We collected placenta of 18 patients(from March 2009 to December 2009 at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital), and divided them into two groups, one was 10 patients with fetal Down's syndrome, the other was normal pregnancies (normal chromosome) with other diseases. We separated proteins expressed in placentas of two groups by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), and then analyzed the differential protein spots by software Decyder 6. 5, then,spots differentially expressed by 1.5 fold or more were analyzed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionizationtime of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). In the end, the differential expressional levels of partially identified proteins were validated by western blot analysis. Results (1) Differential proteins of two groups protein spots of placentas separated by 2D-DIGE were analyzed by software Decyder 6. 5 (these colored lights scattered in the image were protein spots), a total of 56 spots out of 352 were differentially expressed (P<0. 05) in two groups. We analyzed 17 protein spots(12 protein spots were over-expressed and 5 protein spots were down-expressed) differentially expressed by 1.5 fold or more by MALDI-TOF-MS.(2) Protein matching after searching protein database, 17 protein spots turn out to be 10 proteins. Four kinds [superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6), heat shock protein 27 (HSP27),endoplasmic reticulum protein 29 (ERP29)] of them were validated by western blot analysis, the group of fetal Down's syndrome were 0.74 ±0. 12,0.29 ±0. 10,0.53 ±0. 16,0.20 ±0. 09,the group of normal pregnancies were 0. 51 ±0. 08,0. 34 ± 0. 16,0. 18 ± 0. 07,0. 35 ± 0. 09, the results confirmed the observed changes in proteomics. Conclusions Compared with normal pregnancies, there were differential proteins expressed in placenta of Down's syndrome. This approach might provide new screening markers in use for prediction of Down's syndrome, however, further study should be done to make these 4 proteins (SOD1,HSP27, ERP29, PRDX6) be new screening markers.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with colorectal cribriform comedo-type ad-enocarcinoma. Methods Compared with 278 cases of colorectal common-type adenocarcinoma, 24 cases of colorectal cribriform come-do-type adenocarcinoma were analyzed for clinical stage, lymphovascular invasion, lymph node metastasis and genetic characteristics. Results The percentage of clinical Ⅲ and Ⅳ (87. 5%) and lymph node metastasis rate (87. 5%) in patients with colorectal cribri-form comedo-type adenocarcinoma was obviously higher than that in colorectal common-type adenocarcinoma (42. 4%,42. 4%) (P<0. 05). The percentage of lymphovascular invasion (87. 5%) of colorectal cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than that of common-type adenocarcinoma (22. 7%) (P<0. 05). There were no statistical significance of age, sex, and molec-ular genetics of KRAS and mutated BRAF mutation between two groups ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusions There is a higher clinical stage and poorer prognosis including unique morphological characteristics, highly lymphovascular invasion and lymph node metastasis in pa-tients with colorectal cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma.

Hyperuricemia is closely associated with abdominal obesity .The prevalence of hyperuricemia combined with abdominal obesity has been increased significantly in recent years , along with the improvement of daily life and the changes in dietary structure .The state of hyperuricemia combined with abdominal obesity is most harmful , and becomes a common and high risk metabolic disease .Animal model with hyperuricemia combined with abdominal obesity is very impor-tant for the research of pathomechanism and treatment of this disease .

This report presented a male patient aged 69 years,who was admitted into our hospital for fever,hemoptysis and chest pain.Chest X-Ray showed shadows on the right lung and pleural thickening.The effect of broad spectrum antibiotic therapy was poor.With the disease progressed,pleural effusion appeared on the right side.Blood culture showed methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.Pleural effusion tests indicated pyothorax,but the effects of closed chest drainage and sensitive antibiotic therapy were poor.After disentangling with open thoracic exploration,the right middle lobe was resected and the right lung lobe pathology showed Wegener granulomatosis.His blood antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies was negative.The paranasal sinus CT scan and renal function showed no abnormalities.The definitive diagnosis was pulmonary limited Wegener granulomatosis.

To observe different expression patterns of β-catenin and its clinical significance in colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods A total of 181 cases of CRC tissues and 30 cases of normal colorectal tissue were investigated by immunohistochemistry for the expression of β-catenin.Results The expression rate of β-catenin was 56.9％ (103/181) in CRC,and higher than that in normal colorectal tissue (P ＜ 0.05).The overexpression of nuclear β-catenin was significantly correlated with histological differentiation,lymph node metastasis and Dukes' stage in CRC (P ＜ 0.05),and no relationship with other pathological parameters,such as age,gender and the depth of infiltration.The incomplete membranous expression of β-catenin was significantly correlated with histological differentiation,the depth of infiltration,lymph node metastasis and Dukes' stage in CRC (P ＜ 0.05).The high expression of nuclear β-catenin related to histological differentiation and Dukes' stage in CRC (P ＜ 0.05).In the follow-up data of 82 cases of CRC,the expression of nuclear β-catenin was associated with poor prognosis,and the 5-year survival rate was significantly lower than that of self-control groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion β-catenin plays important roles in colorectal carcinogenesis.Abnormal expression of β-catenin was related to the aggressive progression of CRC and may be helpful for evaluating the prognosis of patients with CRC.β-catenin is expected to become a new target for diagnosis and treatment of CRC in future.
