Vascular dementia,an acquired,persistent syndrome of intelligent disorder,mainly caused by cerebrovascular disease is one of the main types of senile dementia.Its pathogenesis remains unclear.Brain-derived neurotrophic factor sustains multiple neuronic survival,development, differentiation,and repair following injury.It also induces and maintains the long-term potentiation of hippocampus and cortex,and changes the morphologic plasticity of hippocampal neuron by regulating hippocanoal synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity.It participates in the processes of hippocampus-dependent learning and memory,and it may play an important role in the onset and development of vascular dementia.

Objective To investigate the expressions of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer and their clin-ical significances. Methods The expressions of CD133 and p53 in 74 colorectal cancer patients were detected by the immunohistochemistry method. The relationships of CD133 and p53 with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer tissues were 33.8%and 55.4%,respectively. The expression levels of CD133 and p53 were not related to age,sex,tumor location and histological type ,and but were significantly related to the histological differentiation ,TNM stage and distant metastasis(P<0.05,respectively). The Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the levels of CD133 and p53. Conclusions The high expressions of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer tissues were closely related to the histological differentiation and TNM stage. CD133 and p53 could be used as important biomarkers for the evaluation of malignant biological behavior,and the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the distribution range and depth of the apocrine sweat glands of the axillary fossa,in order to supply with anatomic and histopathologic basis in the treatment on axillarv osmidrosis.Methods From December 2008 to ()ctober 2010,2 biopsy samples(with axillary osmidrosis),8 biopsy samples(normal,without axillary osmidrosis),were employed into the axillarv anatomy study. 25 patients with severe axillary osmidrosis were observed both maerographicallv and microscopically by using of operation and histopathological methods.Results Secretory portion of apocrine sweat glands was seen clearly,it was pitchy millet-like granules on axillary osmidrosis corpse,and pink millet-like granules in vivo.Secretory portions distributed most within the armpit hair area,exceeded the edge of armpit hair line,but not surpassed the edge of armpit hair line 1.0 cm.The depth of the apocrine sweat glands located vertically at superficial fat tissues between the dermal reticular 1aver and superficial fascia layers which were dissected away easily.Trimming with scissors under dermaIlayer,the secretory portion of apocrine sweat glands was removed cleanly without harms to reticular laver of dermas.Secretory portions became ducts under reticular layer of dermas.White Drominence-like granules were proved to be the compomers of hair follicle and sebaceous glands through Dathological section.Conclusions In order to treat axillary osmidrosis effectively,the secretary portion should be removed away through cutting off the tissues between the dermal reticular layer and suDerficial fastia layers;the ducts of apocrine sweat glands should be handled with removing hair follicle under the reticular layer of dermas．0peration area should not exceed 1.0 cm off the edge.

Objective To research the operation method for hypospadias by one-stage urethroplasty.Methods According to the length of urethra defect,18 cases were operated by using one-stage urethroplasty with perineal and preputial island flaps.Results 16 cases were successful in all patients(88.9%),except one case of urethrostenosis and urethral fistula respective.The case of urethrostenosis recovered by dilation of urethra after 5 months and the patient of urethral fistula was successfully repaired by operation after 8 months.All patients were followed up for 6～26 months with satisfactory penis and micturition.Conclusion The technique of one-stage urethroplasty by using perineal and preputial island flaps is the one of best choices for hypospadias.

Objective To investigate the psychological well-being and the correlation between psychological status and social support among the settled immigrations from Three Gorges Reservoir areas. Methods A cluster randomized sampling was selected and 646 objects were interviewed with Basic Situation Scale,Symptom Check-list 90(SCL-90) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Results Our findings from the results of SCL-90 revealed that the positive rate of psychological problem was higher in settled immigration than that of local permanent residents (χ2= 4.10, P=0.04). The differences of scores on 6 factors including compulsion ( t=2.644, P=0.009 ), interpersonal-sensitivity ( t= 3.220, P =0.001), depression ( t=2.684, P=0.008 ), anxiety ( t=3.003, P= 0.003 ), paranoid-ideation ( t =3.246, P=0.001 ), psychoticism ( t=2.088, P=0.038) and the total score ( t=2.506, P=0.013) were significantly different in female between the two groups. There were also significant differences of 10factors score and total score (t=4.114, P=0.000) noticed between the two groups in age≤50 (P<0.05) and the differences of 4 factors score including somatization ( t=2.777, P=0.006), interpersonal-sensitivity (t=2.384, P=0.018), hostility ( t = 3.174, P = 0.002), paranoid ideation ( t = 2.611, P =0.010). The total scores (t = 2.125, P = 0.034) were significantly different between the two groups in illiteracy and having received primary school education. Other than compulsion factor (t = 1.884, P =0.061) and phobic anxiety factor (t = 0.979, P = 0.328), there were significant differences on other factors and the total score between the two groups in non-farmers (P< 0.05). Except compulsion (r =- 0.103,P >0.05), hostility ( r = -0.084, P>0.05) and paranoid ideation factor ( r =-0.071, P>0.05), the negative correlations were obvious between the total score, other factors score and social support(P<0.05 ). The negative correlation was obvious between somatization (r=-0.128, P<0.05 ),depression ( r=-0.140, P<0.05 ), anxiety. ( r=-0.137, P<0.05 ), phobic anxiety ( r =-0.120, P <0.05),additional factor ( r=-0.143, P<0.05) total score ( r =-0.137, P< 0.05) and subjective support. The correlation coefficient was not significant between SCL-90 total score, 10 factors score and that of objective support (P>0.05). Conclusion The psychological status of settled immigration was not satisfactory and closely correlated to psychological mental level and social support.

Objective To investigate the oropharyngeal microbial colonization in elderly patients.Methods Totally 618 elderly cases and 96 young and middle-aged cases were involved in this investigation.The colonization of bacteria and fungi on the oropharyngeal mucosa were obtained by throat swab cultures.Results There were 85.4％ of cases (82 cases) with Streptococcus viridans and Neisseria gonorrheae on the oropharynx mucosa in young and middle-aged group and the pattern of constitute was simple.3 to 5 bacterial species were isolated from the oropharyngeal mucosa in elderly group.There were only 25.7％ of cases (159 cases)with Streptococcus viridans and Neisseria gonorrheae on the oropharyngeal mucosa in elderly group.Biodiversity of the constitution pattern in the bacterial colonization was exhibited in the elderly.The colonization rate of Gramnegative bacilli was higher in elderly group than in young and middle-aged group [53.1％ (328/618)vs.6.3％ (6/96)].Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumonia were the common Grampositive bacteria colonization in the elderly.The colonization rate of Candida fungus was 9.1 ％ (56/618) in the elderly.Conclusions The reduction of commensal bacteria,especially Streptococcus viridans may be the pathological basis of mode changes in bacteria colonization and opportunistic bacteria colonization on oropharyngeal mucosa in the elderly.The colonization rate of oropharyngeal Gram-negative bacili is obviously increased and Klebsiella Pneumoniae is the common bacteria on oropharyngeal mucosa in the elderly.Enterobacteriaceae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are sensitive to common antibiotics.

Objective To evaluate whether estradiol can inhibit and cure the inflammation of experimental preeclampsia in rats. Methods Experimental preeclampsia was induced in 14-day-pregnant rats by infusion of endotoxin (1.0 ?g/kg). Rats with normal pregnancy were infused with sodium chloride solution.A group of preeclampsia rats was injected with 17?-estradiol (17?-E_2, 1 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ). Blood pressure, albuminuria,inflammation associated adhesion molecule CD_ 49d and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) were assessed. Results On pregnant day 19, for normal pregnancy group(group C) the blood pressure was (120.4?2.0)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),urinary protein (0.47?0.06)mg/24 hours;for experimental preeclampsia group(group A) blood pressure was (134.2?2.4) mm Hg,urinary protein(0.79?0.10)mg/24 hours; for experimental preeclampsia with 17?-E_2 treatment group (group B) blood pressure was(123.3?1.7)mm Hg,urinary protein (0.51?0.08)mg/24 hours. A significant increase of blood pressure and urinary albumin was observed in group A. CD_ 49d expression and TNF-? concentration were also increased. 17?-E_2 reduced the expression of CD_ 49d , concentration of TNF-?,blood pressure and albuminuria of experimental preeclampsia. However, the weight of fetuses in 17?-E_2 treatment group were less than that in other groups. Conclusion 17?-E_2 can improve the symptoms of experimental preeclampsia,but its effects on fetus need to be further studied.

Purpose To assess the diagnostic value of 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG PET/CT scan in patients with lung cancer. Materials and Methods Computer-based retrieval was performed on Medline, PubMed, EMbase, Wanfang data, CNKI and the Cochrane Library to search reports on diagnostic value of lung cancer with 18F-FLT and 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS), and MetaDisc software was adopted to conduct meta-analysis. The pooled specificity, sensitivity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated. The heterogeneity was tested. The summary receiving operating characteristic (SROC) curve was drawn, and the areas under the curve (AUC) as well as Q* were measured. Results Ten studies were included. Meta-analysis showed pooled sensitivity was 0.88, pooled specificity was 0.56, DOR was 9.10, AUC was 0.8102, Q*was 0.7448 for FDG group;pooled sensitivity was 0.79, pooled specificity was 0.78, DOR was 12.50, AUC was 0.8440, Q*was 0.7756 for FLT group. Conclusion Both 18F-FDG and 18F-FLT have well diagnostic value for lung cancer, but the specificity of 18F-FLT is higher than that of 18F-FDG in the diagnosis of lung cancer.
