Objective To investigate the expression of low molecular mass polypeptide-2 (LMP2)and protein phosphatase 1A (PPM1A) in gestational trophoblastic disease and elucidate their predictive value in malignant transformation of hydatidiform mole. Methods The expressions of LMP2 and PPM1A protein in 196 complete hydatidiform moles (in which 28 cases with malignant transformation) , 7 invasive moles, 5 choriocarcinomas and 20 normal chorionic villus were detected with the method of En Vision immunohistochemistry. Their clinicopathologic data were retrospectively analyzed. Results LMP2 and PPM1A protein expressed in cytotrophocytes, syncytiotrophoblast and extravillous trophoblast. The level of LMP2 expression in deteriorative hydatidiform mole was significantly higher than that in non-deteriorative hydatidiform mole or normal chorionic villus (6. 79 ±2. 38, 5.26 ±2.63 and 3. 10 ±1.65, all P <0. 01),while there were no difference compared with gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (6. 42 ±2. 68, P=0. 113).The level of PPM1A expression was highest in normal chorionic villus, and decreased gradually in hydatidiform mole (non-deteriorative and deteriorative) and gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (6. 30 ±2. 98, 4. 93 ± 2. 50, 4. 43 ± 2. 04 and 3. 33 ± 2. 06, all P < 0. 01); the level of PPM1A expression in deteriorative hydatidiform mole was significantly lower than that in non-deteriorative hydatidiform mole (P=0.001). The expression of LMP2 protein was correlated to theca lutein ovarian cyst, the expression of PPM1A protein was related with uterine size (P < 0. 05) . While, there was no correlation between the expressions of the two proteins (P >0. 05). Conclusions High expression of LMP2 and low expression of PPM1A might play an important role in the motility and invasiveness of trophohlast cells and malignant transformation of hydatidiform mole. Testing the expression of LMP2 and PPM1A in hydatidiform mole tissues of initial uterine evacuation might be have some reference significance in judging outcomes of hydatidiform mole.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of tumor suppressor gene CX26 mRNA and coding protein in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and to explore the relationship between CX26 gene and the biological behaviors of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma for understanding the tumorigenicity and development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. METHOD: Laryngeal carcinoma tissues (studying group), which takeda from the center of tumors and laryngeal normal tissues (control group) takeda at the place of 1.0 cm out of the edge of the tumors, were took from 38 patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma while they were in operation. Semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression level of CX26 mRNA, and immunohistochemical staining (frozen section) was used to detect the expression of CX26 protein in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and laryngeal normal tissues of 38 cases, respectively. RESULT: mRNA of CX26 gene was all positively expressed in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and laryngeal normal tissues of 38 cases by RT-PCR. However, CX26 mRNA was obviously down-regulated in laryngeal carcinoma tissues than that in laryngeal normal tissues (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed CX26 protein was strong-positively expressed in laryngeal normal tissues in 34 cases (89.5%), while it was positively expressed in laryngeal carcinoma tissues in 18 cases (47.4%), and with the location alteration of CX26 protein in laryngeal carcinoma cells. There was significant difference between the expression rate of CX26 protein in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and in laryngeal normal tissues (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the expression level of CX26 mRNA and the positive-expressed rate of CX26 protein of the laryngeal carcinoma tissues in the advanced stage patients group (III stage and IV stage) were significantly lower than these in the early stage patients group (I and II) (P < 0.05), and it was significantly lower in those who have a cervical lymph node metastasis than those without metastasis. (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression level of CX26 mRNA and the positive-expressed rate of CX26 protein reduced along with the reduction of pathological differentiation, and there was significant difference among the well-differentiated group, moderately-differentiated group and poorly-differentiated group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION CX26 gene may play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of laryngeal carcinoma and may be related to its prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation types and haematological characteristics of αβ compound thalassemia, non-delectable α-thalassemia and Hemoglobin H Disease (HbH disease) in Foshan.Methods:Using the method of retrospective analysis, we selected the population who had been tested for thalassemia gene in Foshan Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from January 2011 to November 2019. Sysmex XT-5000 automatic hematology analyzer was used for routine blood analysis. α-, β- thalassemia genes were detected by PCR + diversion hybridization method.Results:A total of 4 563 people were tested, of which 1 829 were diagnosed as thalassaemia through genetic diagnosis. αβ compound thalassaemia was detected in 81 cases with a positive rate of 1.8%; non-delectable α-thalassemia was detected in 18 cases with a positive rate of 0.4%; HbH disease was detected in 23 cases with a positive rate of 0.5%. The most common genotypes of αβ compound thalassemia were -- SEA/αα\β41-42/βN (17.3%, 14/81), -α 3.7/αα\β41-42/βN (14.8%, 12/81), -- SEA/αα\β654/βN (11.1%, 9/81). The main manifestations of hematology were normal to mild anemia (93.8%, 76/81). Only β-thalassemia with double heterozygotes and α-thalassemia showed severe anemia. αα CS/αα\βN/βN genotypes were common in the local non delectable α-thalassemia (50.0%, 9/18), and the non delectable α-thalassemia was characterized by non-positive phenotype or typical small-cell hypochromatosis in hematology. The genotypes of local HbH patients were -α 3.7/-- SEA\βN/βN (65.2%, 15/23), and simple HbH manifested as moderate anemia (87.0%, 20/23). Patients with HbH disease and β-thalassemia had normal or mild anemia (13.0%, 3/23). Conclusions:The genotypes of αβ compound thalassemia in Foshan area are diverse and complex, and hematology mainly manifests as mild anemia or normal. Non-delectable α-thalassaemia is common in the genotype of αα CS/αα\βN/βN, and clinical manifestations are asymptomatic gene carriers. The genotype of local HbH patients is mainly -α 3.7/-- SEA\βN/βN, and the hematology mainly shows moderate anemia.

objective:To observe the effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy on patients with acute respiratory failure after gastrointestinal operation under general anesthesia and its efficacy on prognosis.Methods:Totally 107 patients with acute respiratory failure after gastrointestinal operation under general anesthesia in ICU of our hospital were selected from January 2017 to June 2019. Patients were randomly divided into the HFNC group ( n=57) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) group ( n=50). The changes of pH, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2, SpO 2, heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR), and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) before and after oxygen treatment were compared. The differences of comfort level, duration of oxygen treatment, re-intubation rate, 48-h pulmonary infection rate, incidence of anastomotic fistula, length of stay in ICU, length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. The t test of two independent samples was used for the comparison of normal measurement data. Non-normal data were expressed by median (quartile), fractional count data by case number (percentage), and comparison between the two groups by Chi-square test. Results:PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 and SpO 2 were not significantly different after 2-h oxygen therapy. PH of the HFNC group was lower than that of the NIV group (7.39 ± 0.04 vs. 7.42 ± 0.03), PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 and SpO 2 were higher than that of the NIV group [ (89.22 ± 8.70) vs. (84.99± 9.76) mmHg, (41.3 ± 3.43) vs. (39.34 ± 4.21) mmHg, (250.07 ± 18.34) vs. (237.89±19.38) mmHg, (96.14 ± 2.19) vs. (94.78 ± 2.76)%, P <0.05]; pH, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2 /FiO 2 and SpO 2 were significantly higher in the HFNC group than those in the NIV group [ (7.39 ± 0.04) vs. (7.36 ± 0.04) ; (97.2 ± 12.45) vs. (93.82 ± 12.54) mmHg; (40.84 ± 5.22) vs. (45.10 ± 6.40) mmHg; (277.16 ± 13.98) vs. (248.86 ± 12.81) mmHg, (98.14 ± 1.64)% vs. (95.48 ± 2.71) %] after 12 h oxygen treatment. The HR, RR and IAP of the HFNC group were lower than those of the NIV group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P <0.05). The duration of oxygen therapy in the HFNC group was shorter than that in the NIV group [(32.01 ± 7.57) vs. (40.88 ± 8.89) h], the reintubation rate was lower than that in the NIV group (1.75% vs. 12%), the pulmonary infection rate within 48 h oxygen therapy was lower than that in the NIV group (8.78% vs.30%), and the length of stay in ICU was shorter than that in the NIV group [(5.61 ± 1.73) vs. (7.60 ± 2.31) d], and the hospitalization cost was lower than that in the NIV group ( t = 4.822, P <0. 05). Conclusions:HFNC can improve the oxygenation index of patients with hypoxemia after gastrointestinal operation under general anesthesia, reduce oxygen treatment time, reduced reintubation rate, reduce pulmonary infection rate within 48 h, and improve the prognosis.
