Objective To explore the effect of the combination of Weifu-chun and retinoic acid on the expression of Rb Gene and C -erbB -2 Gene in the patients with gastric precancerous lesions.Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with gastric precancerous lesions were ran-domly divided into the observed group ( n =60 ) and the control group ( n=60 ).the group were all given omeprazole enteric -coated capsules and hydrotalcite tablets , and at the same time the observed group was ad-ministrated with Weifuchun ( 1.436 g every time , tid ) and retinoic acid (10 mg every time,tid).The expressions of Rb gene and C -erbB-2 gene were detected by immunohistochemistry and compared after 12 months treatment.Results The positive rate of Rb gene after treatment in the observed group(87.93%) was significantly higher than that before treatment in the observed group (68.97%) and after treatment in the con-trol group(71.93%)(P<0.05).The positive rate of C-erbB-2 gene after treatment in the observed group ( 12.07%) was significantly lower than that before treatment in the observed group ( 34.48%) and after treatment in the control group(29.82%)(P<0.05).Conclusion We-ifuchun and retinoic acid could medicate the expressions of gene Rb and C-erbB-2.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of Shenqifuzheng injection combined with CAF regmien on expression of soluble interleukin 2 receptor(sIL2R), interleukin 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) in breast cancer patients.Methods One hundred and sixty patients with mammary cancer were randomly divided into the observed group(n=80) and patients in the control group(n=80).They all ac-cepted the treatment of CAF regmien, and patients in the observed group accepted the treatment of Shenqifuzheng injection as well.The concentra-tion of sIL2R, IL -6 and TNF -αwere detected by enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay before and after treatment.Results After treat-ment, the effective rate in the observed group(55.00%) was significant-ly higher than that in the control group(38.75%)(P<0.05);the con-centration of sIL2R, IL-6 and TNF-αafter treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in the both of the two groups (P<0.01);the concentration of sIL2R, IL-6 and TNF-αin the ob-served group was significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01);the incidence of adverse reactions like blood cells reduce in the observed group ( 35.00%) was significantly lower than that in the control group(52.50%)(P<0.05).Conclusion shenqifuzheng injec-tion could reduce the concentration of sIL2R, IL -6 and TNF -αin breast cancer patients, improve the clinical efficacy, and reduce the adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical symptoms and potential mutation in FGFR3 gene for a family featuring hereditary dwarfism in order to attain diagnosis and provide prenatal diagnosis.

METHODSFive patients and two unaffected relatives from the family, in addition with 100 healthy controls, were recruited. Genome DNA was extracted. Exons 10 and 13 of the FGFR3 gene were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR products were sequenced in both directions.

RESULTSAll patients had similar features including short stature, short limbs, lumbar hyperlordosis but normal craniofacial features. A heterozygous mutation G1620T (N540K) was identified in the cDNA from all patients but not in the unaffected relatives and 100 control subjects. A heterozygous G380R mutation was excluded.

CONCLUSIONThe hereditary dwarfism featured by this family has been caused by hypochondroplasia (HCH) due to a N540K mutation in the FGFR3 gene.

AIM:To evaluate the clinical value of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, optic disc parameters and macular thickness by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in early diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: Sixty-five patients (eighty-five eyes) were selected as a study group and fifty-two normal people (seventy-eight eyes) were selected as a control group. The retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, optic disc parameters, including cup/disc(C/D) rate, cup area (CA), cup volume (CV), disc area (DA), rim area (RA) and rim volume(RV),and macular thickness were detected by Cirrus HD-OCT. The data were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: The retinal nerve fiber layer thickness of superior, inferior, temple, nasal and average in the study group were all significantly thinner than those of the control group (P<0.001). The cup area, cup volume and cup/disc ratio in the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.001); while the rim area and rim volume in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0 001). But the disc area was not significantly different between two groups(P>0.05). The macular thickness of superior, inferior, temple and nasal in the study group were all significantly thinner than those of the control group (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: OCT can detect the change of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, optic disc parameters and macular thickness, it is helpful for early diagnosis of POAG.

OBJECTIVETo analyze clinical symptoms and disease-causing mutations of corneodesmosin (CDSN) gene in a Chinese family affected with hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp and to establish a method for prenatal diagnosis.

METHODSFamily survey and clinical examinations were carried out to determine the inheritance pattern. Three patients and 7 unaffected relatives from the family, in addition with 100 unrelated healthy controls were recruited. Genomic DNA from peripheral blood leukocytes was extracted. Five pairs of primers were designed based on the CDSN gene sequence. Exons and flanking regions of the CDSN gene were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Potential mutations were analyzed through direct sequencing and comparison by BLAST.

RESULTSThe type of alopecia of the family was diagnosed as hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. A nonsense mutation (C717G) in cDNA sequence of the CDSN gene was identified in all three patients of the family, which resulted in a premature stop codon (Y239X). The same mutation was not found among healthy members of the family and 100 healthy controls.

CONCLUSIONA Chinese family was diagnosed with hypotrichosis simplex of the scalp, which was caused by a novel nonsense mutation (Y239X) in the CDSN gene.

OBJECTIVETo compare the apical microleakage of Vitapex (calcium hydroxide based paste) with that of AH-plus and zinc oxide eugenol sealer when used with laterally condensed gutta percha obturation technique.

METHODSOne hundred single rooted human anterior teeth were instrumented and randomly divided into three experimental groups (A, B, C) of 30 teeth each and two control groups (D, E) of 5 teeth each. Group A was filled with laterally condensed gutta-percha using Vitapex as sealer. Group B was filled with laterally condensed gutta-percha using AH-plus as sealer. Group C was filled with laterally condensed gutta-percha using zinc oxide eugenol as sealer. Group D was the positive control. Group E was the negative control, which were coated with nail polish to entire root surface. Teeth were then suspended in 2% methylene blue. After this, teeth were demineralized dehydrated and cleared. Linear dye penetration was determined under stereomicroscope with calibrated eye piece.

RESULTSThe mean dye penetration for group A, B, C were respectively (0.57 +/- 0.56) mm, (0.79 +/- 0.96) mm and (1.07 +/- 1.12) mm. Group D demonstrated maximum dye penetration. Group E showed no dye penetration. There was no statistically significant difference between group B and group C (P > 0.05). However, there was statistically significant difference between group A and group B, C (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThis study showed that Vitapex used as endodontic sealer material are better than AH-plus sealer and zinc oxide eugenol sealer.

OBJECTIVETo identify the effects of overtraining on human sperm DNA.

METHODSMolecular epidemiological investigation of 249 men from different groups (training and non-training) was carried out by using flow cytometer to detect the integrity and damage of in situ DNA of sperm nucleus, and sperm chromatin structure assay was performed.

RESULTSThe average COMPalpha(t) in training group was 11.02% while that in control group was 5.90% (P < 0.01). COMPalpha(t) was significantly correlated with sperm activity (r = 0.41, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONOvertraining could induce sperm DNA injury and affect sperm activity, thus to decrease the potentiality of reproduction.

OBJECTIVETo survey the incidence of acute febrile reaction in elderly patients receiving intravenous zoledronic acid for osteoporosis and identify the related factors.

METHODSThirty-eight elderly patients with osteoporosis were hospitalized and treated with intravenous infusion of 5 mg zoledronic acid in 2010. The incidence of acute fever reaction was observed in these patients , and the time of fever onset, duration, average maximum temperature, and antipyretic drug used were recorded. The patients with and without acute febrile reaction were compared for age, duration of osteoporosis, sex ratio, use of parathyroid hormone before zoledronic acid treatment, β-fragment of collagen breakdown, calcitonin, osteocalcin, serum calcium, and use of anti-osteoporosis drugs before the treatment.

RESULTSAcute fever reaction occurred in 12 (31.6%) of the patients. Two of the patients had fever on the day of zoledronic acid treatment, and the other patients developed fever after the first day of treatment, with a mean duration of 1 day and a maximum temperature of (38.5∓0.84) degrees celsius;. The fever was treated with a mean of 3.55∓1.21 pseudoephedrine tablets. The patients with fever showed significantly higher parathyroid hormone levels before treatment than those without fever (P<0.05); osteocalcin, calcitonin, β-fragment of collagen breakdown, or serum calcium showed no significant difference between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONAcute febrile reaction, often moderate and transient, is common in elderly patients receiving intravenous zoledronic acid for osteoporosis, and its occurrence is possibly associated with parathyroid hormone levels before the treatment.

OBJECTIVETo explore the diagnostic value of the dual-energy technique with dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) for anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

METHODSThe clinical data of 8 patients with arthroscopic results were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent two- and three-dimensional imaging by multiplanar reconstruction, volume rendering, and tendon mode on DSCT. Dual-energy characteristics were compared with arthroscopic results.

RESULTSSix patients who were arthroscopically diagnosed as anterior cruciate ligament injuries, all of them were also correctly diagnosed by DSCT. Two patients who were arthroscopically diagnosed as normal, one was also diagnosed as normal by DSCT and the other was misdiagnosed. The overall agreement rate was 87.5% (7/8) . Under the dual energy tendon mode, the dual energy staining of the injured anterior cruciate ligament was lower than that of the contralateral normal cruciate ligament of the patient.

CONCLUSIONThe staining diminution in DSCT imaging may be a new feature that can be used to effectively diagnose anterior cruciate ligament injury.
