Objective To study the expression of RASSF1A gene in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines and to investigate its clinical roles. Methods Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of RASSF1A gene in 39 cases of human gastric cancer tissues and 18 cases of normal human gastric tissues, and RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of RASSF1A mRNA in 4 gastric cancer cell lines, normal gastric cell lines GES-1 and positive control Hela cells. Correlations between expression of RASSF1A gene and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer were also analyzed. Results All the normal gastric tissues (18 cases) were stained with anti-RASSF1A antibody, and significantly lower expression of RASSF1A was found in the 39 cases of gastric cancer tissues (P

Objective To explore the value of hysteroscopy in diagnostic curettage, the incidence of complications and preventive measures in senile women. Methods One hundred and thirteen senile patients who underwent hysteroscopy from January 2002 to December 2007 were recruited in the study, and one hundred and fifty-seven non senile patients were selected as control group. All the patients were operated with diagnostic curettage and hysteroseopy. The success rate of hysteroscopy operation, the incidence of complications and control effect were recorded and compared between two groups. Results The success rate of hysteroscopy operation was 88. 5% (100/113) in the senile group and 100% (157/157) in the non senile group, and there was significant differenee(P <0. 01). The incidence of complications was higher in the senile women group than that in the non senile women group (P< 0. 01). In senile group, the accuracy of diagnostic curettage and hysteroscopy was higher than diagnostic curettage alone, and the success rate was 95.5% (64/67)in estrogen group and 69.6%(32/46) in blank control group (P<0. 01) ,which indicated that estrogen was positively related with the success rate of operation. Compared with misoprostol, estradiol-pretreatment operation was safer and had higher success rate. Conclusions It is safe and feasible to perform hysteroscopy and diagnostic curettage for older women, though it has higher incidence of complications and lower success rate compared with non senile women. Hysteroscopy and diagnostic curettage are more accurate than diagnostic curettage alone, and it is a good choice to apply estradiol before operation.

Purpose To evaluate the application of mismatch repair (MMR) genes proteins expression and methylationspecific to screen for Lynch syndrome patients.Methods 126 endometrial carcinoma patients were tested the protein expression of hMSH2,hMSH6h,hMLH1,hPMS2 by immunohistochemically of SP,and the methylation status of hMLH1 genes by the methylation-specific PCR.Results The result of MMR immunocytochemistry showed that 22％ (28/126) cases lacked MMR protein expression,including hMLH1-/hPMS2-in 12 cases,4 hMSH2-/hMSH6-,6 hPMS2-,3 hMLH6-and 3 hMLH1-.Meanwhile,the methylation-specific PCR test showed that 9 cases was methylation status of hMLH1 genes in 15 cases hMLH1-,and suggested the patients might be sporadic endometrial carcinoma.Conclusion Immunohistochemical of SP staining for MMR proteins in endometrial carcinoma patients,accompanied by testing for the methylation status of hMLH1 genes,may be an effective approach to screen for Lynch syndrome.

AIM: To determine the optimal operation method and reduce operative complications by retrospective analysis of outcomes of different operative manipulation for patients with congenital ectopia lentis ( CEL) .
●METHODS: A retrospective study ranged from Jan. 1, 2010 to Jan. 1, 2015 was conducted and 31 CEL patients (57 eyes) treated with different operations were taken into this study. The postoperative outcome, operation related complications was analyzed in terms of different operative manipulations.
● RESULTS: The most common types of CEL are idiopathic and Marfan - related CEL. All eyes ( 98%) benefited from operation except 1 Marchesani syndrome eye concurrent with optic atrophy induced by glaucoma. A total of 3 eyes ( 5%) were treated by phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation; 8 eyes ( 14%) were treated by phacoemulsification, capsular tension ring implantation combined with intraocular lens implantation, among these 8 eyes, 1 eye was treated with capsular tension ring implantation combined with suture fixation; 39 eyes ( 68%) were treated by lens excision and anterior vitrectomy through corneal incision combined with intraocular lens implantation with suture fixation, among these 39 eyes, 2 eyes were treated with trabeculectomy , but not combined with intraocular lens implantation; 5 eyes ( 9%) were treated by intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy combined with intraocular lens implantation with suture fixation; 2 eyes ( 4%) were treated by lens excision and vitrectomy through pars plana combined with silicon oil injection.
● CONCLUSION: Almost all patients can obtain satisfactory outcomes through various operative manipulations. Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation was the first choice for patients with lens dislocation range less than 90°. Phacoemulsification, capsular tension ring implantation combined with intraocular lens implantation was recommended for 90° - 180°, and lens excision and anterior vitrectomy through corneal incision combined with intraocular lens implantation with suture fixation was more suitable for lens dislocation range more than 180°. The appropriate operative methods for different types of CEL patients is the key to success.

Objective: To investigate the mortality and life loss of malignant tumors among residents in Xicheng District, Beijing from 2014 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the control strategy for malignant tumors. Methods: Data pertaining to dead cases of malignant tumors in Xicheng District from 2014 to 2021 were collected from Beijing Integrated and Analysis Platform for Health and Disease Prevention Monitoring Information Resources. The crude mortality, standardized mortality, years of potential life lost (YPLL), years of potential life lost rate (YPLLR), rate of standardized years of potential life lost (SYPLLR), average years of life lost (AYLL) and annual percent change (APC) of malignant tumors were measured to analyze the trends in mortality of malignant tumors and life loss. Results: A total of 23 202 residents died from malignant tumors in Xicheng District from 2014 to 2021, and the crude and standardized mortality rates of malignant tumors were 198.09/105 and 101.46/105, respectively. The standardized mortality of malignant tumors was 117.36/105 among men and 85.97/105 among women. The standard mortality of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a decline among all cases (APC=-1.515%, t=-4.289, P=0.005) and women (APC=-1.629%, t=-3.046, P=0.023), and the crude mortality of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (χ2trend=49.324, P<0.001). The five most deadly malignant tumors included lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer, liver cancer and colorectal cancer were the three malignant tumors with the three highest life loss, with YPLL of 18 054 person-years, 9 446 person-years and 8 179 person-years, respectively. Leukemia had the highest AYLL (15.95 years per person). Conclusions The standardized mortality of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a decline among residents in Xicheng District from 2014 to 2021, and men and the elderly people were at high risk of malignant tumors. Lung cancer, colorectal cancer and liver cancer were leading causes of death, leukemia was the major cause of life loss.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 3LL/GM-CSF tumor vaccine combined with pacilitaxel chemotherapy in treatment of mice bearing transplanted Lewis lung carcinoma. Methods: The tumor vaccine 3LL/GM-CSF was prepared by infecting Lewis lung carcinoma cell line 3LL with adenovirus encoding GM-GSF. Mice model of Lewis lung carcinoma was established by subcutaneous injection of 2?104 3LL cells into C57BL/6(H-2b)mice. The sensitivity of Lewis lung carcinoma cell line-3LL to the treatment of pacilitaxel was detected in vivo and in vitro. The mice tumor model was first treated with pacilitaxel chemotherapy and then with 3LL/GM-CSF, or first with 3LL/GM-CSF and then with pacilitaxel. Tumor growth and the long-term survival of mice were observed after treatment. The immune memory and cytotoxicity against target cells were studied in the mice. Results: Pacilitaxel at 100 nmol/L killed 32.10% 3LL cells after 24 hour in vitro; but pacilitaxel at 5-25 mg/kg only had a poor effect on growth of 3LL cells in vivo. The tumors rebated in 70% of mice treated with pacilitaxel chemotherapy and 3LL/GM-CSF vaccination successively, and the survival of these mice was obviously longer than that of pure pacilitaxel chemotherapy group (70.0 days vs 27.5 days). The killing rate of 3LL/GM-CSF after pacilitaxel chemotherapy was 41.35% on day 3. Meanwhile, the survival mice could resist the re-attack of 3LL cells (2?104). We also noticed that first treatment with 3LL/GM-CSF and then pacilitaxel chemotherapy had no effect on tumors. Conclusion: Application of tumor vaccine shortly after pacilitaxel chemotherapy can induce specific immune responses and prolong the survival of experimental mice, which provide a basis for future clinical practice.

[Summary] The efficacy of the combining therapy of methylprednisolone and methotrexate on the Graves ophthalmopathy ( GO) was observed.

Selenium supplement did not further improve the remission of GO.

Objective To investigate the expression of α-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) in different central nervous system tumors and the meaningness in differential diagnosis. Methods Expression of ATRX protein was determined by immunohistochemistry in astrocytomas , oligodendrogliomas, glioblastomas, ependymomas and meningiomas. Results Positive expression levels of ATRX in astrocytomas were significantly lower than those in oligodendrogliomas,glioblastomas, ependymomas and meningiomas (all P <0.01). Conclusion The loss of ATRX was mainly occurred in astrocytomas, which could be as a astrocytoma marker in diagnosis.

Objective To observe effect of Jintong capsule on model mice of tourette syndrome (TS).Methods TS models of mouse were established by intraperitoneal injection of amphetamine (AMP) or subcutaneous injection of apomorphine (APO). The animals were randomly divided into the normal control group, model group, Jintong capsule large dose group, Jintong capsule small dose group and haloperidol control group. The spontaneous movements and grasping action of model animals were observed and the contents of dopamine and its products of metabolism in striatum of animals were detected.Results The abnormal hyperactivity and the content of dopamine of Jintong capsule groups in striatum of AMP model mice were lower than that of the model group ( P< 0.05 ), and the grasping time of Jintong capsule groups in APO model mice shorten compare with the control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion Jintong capsule can ameliorate hyperactivity behaviors of these two animal models, and decrease the content of dopamine in striatum.

Purpose To investigate the clinical value of gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI) quantitative analysis technique in evaluating left ventricular remodeling and its effects on left ventricular function in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods Seventy-six cases of MI patients were retrospectively analyzed, including pure left anterior descending artery (LAD) disease in 21 cases , left circumlfex artery (LCX) or right coronary branch (RCA) disease in 23 patients and multivessel disease in 32 cases. Seventy-four healthy people were additionally selected as control group. GMPI was performed on all subjects. Reconstruction images were automatically analyzed by using cardiac software QGS 2009 to obtain left ventricular remodeling index, including diastolic sphericity index (SIED) and end-systolic sphericity index (SIES). Cardiac function parameters were also obtained, including left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and peak iflling rate (PFR). Differences of the left ventricular remodeling index and cardiac function parameters between the MI group and the control group were compared to analyze the relationship between left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and coronary artery lesions. Results SIED, SIES and EDV, ESV in MI group were signiifcantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01). The cardiac function parameters of LVEF and PFR were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.01). SIED and SIES in the group of LAD lesions and multi-vessel disease were signiifcantly higher than those in the LCX/RCA lesion group (P<0.05). The left ventricular remodeling was occurred more often in LAD lesion group and multi-vessel disease group than in the LCX/RCA lesion group (χ2=6.502 and 10.166, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the LAD lesions group and multi-vessel disease group (χ2=0.105, P>0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that LVEF and PFR in group of left ventricular remodeling was signiifcantly lower with the increase of SIED (F=43.231 and 15.642, P<0.01). SIED and SIES analysis resulted in high correlation for both intra-observer and inter-observer (r=0.881-0.926, P<0.01). Conclusion Left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction can be accurately evaluated by GMPI. Patients with myocardial infarction due to LAD or multi-vessel coronary artery diseases may have left ventricular remodeling easier and more severe. Left ventricular remodeling will seriously affect the myocardial contraction and diastolic function, resulting in the entire left ventricular dysfunction.
