Objective:To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods for nasal septum malignancies. Methods:A retrospective study of seven cases of primary nasal septum malignancy was conducted. These cases were treated at the Tianjin First Central Hospital between February 1993 and October 2009. Results:Among the seven cases, one was reported malignant lymphoma, which underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy;the other six malignant tumors included three cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, one malignant melanoma, one chondrosarcoma, and one papilloma. Patients were treated by nasal endoscopy, external approach, lip midline incision, overturned facial surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. During follow-up, which lasted for 2 years to 16 years from time of surgery, two fatalities resulting from recurrence or metastasis were recorded. One of these fatalities occurred after 2 years, and the other was recorded at 3 years and 4 months after surgery. Four patients survived without recurrence. Conclusion:The key treatment for nasal septum malignancies was one-time radical resection. Combined postoperative treatment and follow-up should be conducted.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Ku70 mRNA expression in non-neoplasm,in normal appearing pulmonary tissues,and in lung cancer tissue of pre-or post-chemotherapy and drug resistance.Methods:Ku70 mRNA in the lung tissues was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The samples were extracted form 26 non-neoplasm, normal appearing pulmonary tissues and 56 lung cancer tissues.Results:Non-neoplasm, normal appearing pulmonary tissue group expressed Ku70 mRNA lower than lung cancer tissue group(P

To conduct environmental education intervention for medical students,a survey of environmental protection and sustainable development-related knowledge,attitudes,behavior were conducted through questionnaire among the medical students to explore the impact of envi-ronmental quality with creation of environmental education curriculum and the appropriate way for institutions of higher medical education.

Objective To investigate the change of aquaporin 2 (AQP2) mRNA and protein levels in renal collecting duct of SD rats after hypoxin caused by rising of the altitude to 4600 m. Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 1 week group), and 10 rats in Xining city were used as control group. All the 40 SD rats were transported to Kekexili Natural Reservation areas (4600 m) in Qinghai province. Rats of four experimental groups were sacrificed and renal tissue samples were harvested at different time point respectively, the control group rats were treated in Xining city (2260 m) as well. The concentration of plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) was measured by radioimmunity method. The expression of AQP2 mRNA and proteins was evaluated by real-time fluorescent quantitative-PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence assay. Results The concentration of plasma ADH was decreased at 24 h and was only 28.5% of that of control group, reaching the lowest concentration at 48 h [(86.94±6.49) μg/L vs (302.5±310.48) μg/L], then it increased gradually and was similar to the control group at 7 d [(306.46±11.14) μg/L vs (302.53±10.48)μg/L, P＞ 0.05]. There were significant differences of the control group with 24 h, 48 h and 72 h groups, respectively[(302.53± 10.48) μg/L vs (142.46±10.57)μg/L, (86.94±6.49)μg/L, (169.65±11.15) μg/L respectively, P＜0.01]. The change of AQP2 gene expression level was consistent with the change of ADH. It was decreased at the begining when exposure to altitude and it reached its lowest level at 48 h. It was then returned to high level similarly to that of the control group at 7 d (0.09±0.01 vs 0.09± 0.008, P＞0.05 ). There were significant differences of the control group with 24 h, 48 h and 72 h group, respectively (0.09±0.008 vs 0.04±0.005, 0.03±0.002, 0.04±0.003 respectively, P＜0.01 ). Conclusions AQP2 expression in the renal collecting duct of SD rats is altered over the period exposed to altitude. It is decreased in the early hypoxia period, and is increased in later period. This change may be related to the intensity of hypoxia, which is mediated by a potential adaptation mechanisms against hypoxia caused by high altitude.

Objective:To study the different Ku80 mRNA expression in normal lung tissue group, lung cancer group(non small cell lung cancer) without chemotherapy, lung cancer group with multiple chemotherapy(n≥2),to evaluate the relationship of tumor drug resistance with Ku80 mRNA expression in human lung cancer.Methods:The lung tissue gene level of Ku80 mRNA was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) in 25 normal lung tissues, 51 lung cancer tissue,taking ?-actin as inner reference.The data were analyzed by SPSS software.Results:Ku80 mRNA expression in normal lung tissue compared to lung cancer group without chemotherapy, lung cancer group with multiple chemotherapy(n≥2) had statistic significant meaning,respectively P
