Objective To evaluate CT diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thoracic granulomatous diseases.Methods 13 cases of thoracic granulomatous diseases(tuberculoma 5,mycosis 3,sarcoidosis 2,Wegener's granuloma 2,eosinophilic granuloma 1) proved surgically-pathologically together with clinical and imaging data undergone analysis,especially put emphasis on CT features.Results ①Pulmonary granulomatous lesions commonly presented as nodules or masses,single or multiple,all the lesions had cavity,as well known pulmonary tuberculoma,pulmonary mycosis and Wegener's granuloma.②Cavity associated with mobile mass inside presented as air meniscus or air sing sign were the imaging characteristics of pulmonary aspergilloma.③Hilar and mediastinal lymphadenectasis always presented as bilaterally and symmetrically that was the typical sign of stage I sarcoidosis.④The multiple,multiplicity together with necrosis and cavity were the characteristics of wegener's granuloma.⑤Nodules and pneumtoceles were the major specific signs of pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma.Conclusion To analyse CT specific features and in combination with clinical data,it can improve the diagnostic accuracy of pulmonary granulomatous diseases.

Objective To investigate the expression of CyelinD1 protein in nephroblastoma.Methods The tissue microarray were made in 28 cases of nephroblastoma and 19 cases of renal tissue adjacent to tumor.The expression of CyclinD1 and p53 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive rate of the expression of CyclinD1 and p53 protein was significantly different between nephroblastoma and renal tissue adjacent to tumor (P < 0.05).The positive rate of the expression of CyclinD1 and p53 protein was significantly different in different degree of differentiation of nephroblastoma (P < 0.05).The expression of CyclinD1 and p53 protein was positively correlated (P < 0.05).Conclusions The CyclinD1 and p53 might be used as the marks for estimating the degree of differentiation of nephroblastoma.The over-expression of CyclinD1 and the mutation of p53 might play the vital role in nephroblastoma.

Objective To discuss the clinical symptoms of severe traumatic cerebral injury patients with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH). These patients were given positive and effective prevention and treatment to reduce complications in order to improve prognosis. Methods Twenty patients with PSH were selected from October 2010 to October 2014 and were analyzed by gender, age, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, laboratory and equipment inspection to summary the treatment experiences of such patients. Results Of the 20 patients,14 were males and 6 were females,with age of 22-65 (35.4±9.5) years. Sixteen patients underwent unilateral or bilateral intracranial hematoma and decompressive craniectomy,and 4 patients were given conservative treatment. PSH occurred in these patients within 1 week after cerebral injury or surgery. However, the elderly might occur in the course of a few weeks or even months later. Each patient' s seizure frequency and duration had no significant regular pattern. The frequency varied from one time in several days to several times one day. Seizure duration was generally less than half an hour. All of the patients underwent CT and MRI examinations and showed different parts of the brain injury. But the damage of the brain stem, corpus callosum, basal ganglia and lateral ventricles beside sympathetic overactivity could lead to the occurrence of PSH. Most of the patients had a good effect after active drug treatment and symptomatic therapy. Conclusions PSH often occurs in severe traumatic cerebral injury patients. The doctor should pay attention to PSH. Early active and effective prevention and treatment can improve the prognosis of patients with PSH.

Oxidative stress is an important factor that can cause aging body, tissue damage and diseases.FoxO3a transcription factor is critical for the regulation of oxidative stress.Recently, there are some reports on the quite complex role of FoxO3a in regulating oxidative stress.Not only can it promote the survival of cells, but also induce cell apoptosis at some oxidative stress conditions.In this paper, the role of FoxO3a in oxidative stress, the possible signal pathway and the potential effect of target FoxO3a for oxidative stress diseases treatment are reviewed.

Objective To investigate the expression characteristics of Golgi phosphoprotein 3(GOLPH3)in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)and explore its clinicopathological significance. Methods The expressions of GOLPH3 protein was detected in 132 cases of paired paraf-fin embedded HCC specimens and pericarcinoma tissues using immunohistochemical staining ,and the relation of the expression of GOLPH3 to clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Meanwhile,the expression and distribution of GOLPH3 in HCC cells was observed by laser confocal mi-croscopy. Results The positive expression rates of GOLPH3 in HCC and pericarcinoma tissues were 70.0%(92/132)and 42.4%(56/132) (P<0.001),respectively. The incidence of portal vein tumor thrombus in high and low GOLPH3 expression groups of HCC were 21.2%(14/66) and 6.1%(4/66)(P<0.05),respectively. The expression rate of GOLPH3 in HCC was significantly higher than that in pericarcinoma tissues, and the expression of GOLPH3 in HCC was positively related to portal vein tumor thrombus. In addition ,GOLPH3 was mainly expressed in cyto-plasm of HCC cells,and there was also scattered distribution in the nucleus. Conclusion GOLPH3 acts as an oncogene and may play vital roles in the carcinogenesis and development of HCC.
