Objective To investigate the relationship between IGF2BP3 hypomethylation with colon tumor differentia?tion. Methods Tissue samples from 41 colorectal cancer were collected from March 2011 to August 2011 in our hospital, among which 19 cases were well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, 12 cases were of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and 10 cases were of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Meanwhile biopsy samples from 12 cases of colonic colitis were collected as a control. The expression of IGF2BP3 was assessed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. An innovate of ELISA technique was used to examine global methylation levels while IGF2BP3 methylation level was tested by methylation specific PCR technique. Results The expressions of IGFBP3 are higher in all colon cancer groups than that in colitis (P<0.05). The expression of IGFBP3 in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma is higher than that in all the other groups, but there is no significant difference between its expressions in the well differentiated group and in the moderately differentiated adeno?carcinoma group. The global DNA level and IGFBP3 methylation level of every colon cancer group is lower than those in coli?tis (P<0.05). Also, a tendency of decreasing global DNA and IGFBP3 methylation status was observed comparing well differ?entiated towards poorly differentiated carcinomas (P<0.05). Conclusion IGF2BP3 expression in colorectal cancer is asso?ciated with differentiation of colon cancer tissue. A lower global and IGF2BP3 DNA methylation suggest a worse differentia?tion of colon cancer. DNA hypomethylation may therefore play a regulatory role in the expression of IGF2BP3 in colon cancer tissue.

Objective　To investigate the effect of breast milk and some other kinds of infant foods on the adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa so as to understand the possible protective mechanism of breast-feeding in the intestine of infants. Methods　The adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa were examined by cell culture, bacterial adherence test, light and electron microscopy in the mediums that contain breast milk, cow's milk and formula milk or contain ecal filtrate of the infants fed by breast milk and formula milk respectively. Results　Adhesive index for EPEC to Hela cells was significantly lower in the medium containing breast milk than in control and so did in the fecal medium containing breast fed infants than artificial feeding infants. Conclusion　Breast milk may inhibit the adhesion of EPEC to infant intestine.

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of drug,electric cardiovertion,radiofrepuency ablation and implantable anti-atrial-fibrillation pacemaker on patients with persistent idiopathic atrial fibrillation.Methods 58 patients with persistent idiopathic atrial fibrillation were treated with drug or electric cardjovertion,radiofrequence ablation and anti-atrial-fibrillation pacemaker.Results There were 30 patients successfully converted to sinus rhythm by drug.The mean conversion time of drug was 8?5 days.22 patients were converted by electric cardioversion.10% of cases(6 of 58)failed to convert by both methods.In follow-up period,12 cases of patients were healed,19 cases got significant improvement,14 cases got moderate improvement,8 cases had no improvement.The total efficiency rate was 76%.18 cases in successful cardioversion patients were healed,5 cases got significant improvement,5 cases got moderate improvement,4 cases had no improvement.The total efficiency rate was 75%(14 of 18).2 cases got improvement by anti-atrial-fibrillation pacemaker.Conclusion Combined treatment of drug,electric cardioversion,radiofreqency ablation and anti-atrial-fibrillation pacemaker can imrove cure rate of persistent idiopathic atrial fibrillation.

Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint(SCJ) is a rare condition and accounts for 0.5％-1.0％ of septic arthritis.SCJ infections often require surgical intervention.Diabetes mellitus,rheumatoid arthritis,intravenous drug use,intraarticular injection and immunosuppressive disorders are predisposing factors.Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common bacteriologies.Early diagnosis of SCJ infection requires a high index of suspicion and a confirmatory CT or MRI scan.The characteristic imaging features include intramedullary and soft tissue gas,sequestra,soft tissue swelling and destruction or widening of joint space.Management strategies have ranged from conservative antibiotic therapy to en-bloc resection of the sternoclavicular joint with or without ipsilateral pectoralis major muscle transposition.The shoulder function in most patients were well preserved.

Objective To investigate the incidence and pregnancy outcomes of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in pregnant women in Beijing.Methods A retrospective multicenter study of 18 534 cases delivered in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Beijing Friendship Hospital,Daxing MCH Hospital and Tongzhou MCH Hospital from January 2011 to December 2011,was conducted.Results Among 18 534 cases,PROM occurred in 4 504 cases (24.30％),including 3 910 cases of in term PROM (21.10％) and 594 cases of preterm PROM (3.20％).The incidence of premature delivery was 6.17％ (1 144/18 534),and among 1 144 cases of premature delivery 547 cases were PROM (47.81％);the incidence of PROM was 22.75％ (3 957/17 390) in term delivery.The overall cesarean section (CS) rate was 48.50％ (8 989/18 534) and that in pregnant women with PROM was 35.55％ (1 601/4 504),but the CS rate in pregnant women without PROM was 52.66％ (7 388/14 030).The rate of postpartum hemorrhage was 13.12％ (210/1 601)in CS cases and 4.17％ (121/2 903) in vaginal delivery cases (x2 =121.361,P=0.000).The mean hospital stay for PROM was (5.3±2.9) d in CS cases and (4.3±2.3) d in vaginal delivery cases (t =-12.136,P =0.000).Conclusions Without severe maternal or fetal complications,the incidence of PROM is relatively high in Beijing region and PROM may not increase the maternal or fetal complications.Vaginal delivery is the main mode of delivery for PROM.Cesarean section may not cause less neonatal complications,but may lead to more postpartum hemorrhage and longer hospital stay.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the curative effect of radioimmunological targeting drug on nude mice bearing breast cancer. Methods The anti-CEA monoclonal antibody C50 was combined with ~ 131 I to produce radioimmunological targeting drug. 16 nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with breast cancer cell MCF-7 with tumor diameter about 0.5 cm were randomly into 4 groups(n=4): group Ⅰ, injected in part with ~ 131 I-C50 18.5 MBq; group Ⅱ, injected in part with ~ 131 I-C50 3.7 MBq; group Ⅲ, injected in part with ~ 131 I-mIgG 18.5 MBq; group Ⅳ, injected in part with C50 0.75 ?g. The size of tumor volume and inhibitory rate (IR) after treatment for six weeks were calculated and compared with the control group. Results The tumor volume and curves for tumor growth and tumor weight had significant differences between group Ⅰ and the group Ⅲ as well as group Ⅱ (P0.05). Conclusion Anti-CEA monoclonal antibody C50 labeled with radionuclide ~ 131 I could inhibit the growth of the tumor when given locally. ~ 131 I-C50 has a potential value of clinical application

Objective To evaluate endovascular repair combined with assistant techniques for the treatment of Stanford type B aortic dissection involving aortic arch.Method From July 2002 to June 2010,46 patients of aortic arch dissection with the primary entry tear next to the orifice of left subclavian artery,were treated with endovascular repair.Left subclavian arteries were covered with TEVAR in 43 cases.PDA occludes were used in 6 patients.Nine patients received extrathoracic supra-aortic branches bypass.Double-barrel technique was performed in 8 patients.Fenestrated stent graft was used in 1 patient.Result All patients survived and were followed up for 2 to 76 months.No severe neurological complications happened.All synthetic grafts and carotid artery stents were patent.Type Ⅱ endoleak occurred in 10 patients,among them 6 received PDA occlude implantation in the left subclavian artery,and 2 patients recovered by conservative treatment.Nine patients suffered from ischemia of the left upper extremity,and 8 of them were treated with conservative method,one received bilateral subclavian artery bypass because of severe ischemia after endovascular treatment.In follow-up,all of the stent-grafts and grafts were patent.In the descending aorta,the diameter of true lumen increased significantly and the diameter of false lumen shrank gradually.Conclusions Endovascular aortic repair combined with extrathoracic supra-aortic branches bypass,PDA occlude,double-barrel technique and fenestrated technique is a safe and effective method for Stanford Type B aortic dissection involving aortic arch.

Objective To study the impact on pregnant outcome of reducing the number of embryos transferred from three to two in women at age less than 35 who received frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Methods The analysis was performed on 90 FET cycles (77 infertile couples,less than 35 years old) with slow-freezing/rapid-thawing method, including 48 cycles with two embryos transferred and 42 cycles with three embryos transferred. The embryo survival rate, high quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate, implantation rate and multiple pregnancies rate were analyzed. Results No significant differences in embryo survival rate (88.9% versus 88.1%), high quality embryo rate (89.6% versus 81.0%), clinical pregnancy rate (37.5% versus 42.9%), implantation rate (26.0% versus 18.3%) and multiple pregnancy rate (38.9% versus 16.7%) were observed between two and three embryos transferred group (all P > 0.05). However, there were 2 triple pregnancies in three embryos transferred group while none in two embryos transferred group. Conclusion Reducing the number of high quality embryos transferred from three to two in women at age of less than 35 years old who received FET,could decrease the incidence of triple pregnancy and keep the similar clinical pregnancy rate.

ObjectiveTo study the roles of cytokeratin-19 ( CK-19 ),vimentin,vascular endothelial growth factor-C( VEGF-C ),and cyclooxygenase-2 ( COX-2 ) played in the occurrence and development of Graves'disease(GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT).Methods57 cases of GD and 58 cases of HT were enrolled in our study.Immunohistochemistry using SP method was carried out for assessment of the expression of CK-19,vimentin,VEGF-C,and COX-2 in the thyroid tissues.Results CK-19,VEGF-C,and COX-2 were expressed in the cytoplasm of thyroid follicular epithelial cells.Vimentin was expressed both in the mesenchyma and in the cytoplasm of thyroid follicular epithelial cells.The positive rates and expression intensities of CK-19 and VEGF-C in HT ( 86.2％,96.6％ ) were significantly higher than those in GD ( 43.9％,56.1％,all P＜0.05 ).The expression intensities of vimentin and COX-2 in GD ( 100.0％,93.1％ ) were similar to those in HT ( 100.0％,91.2 ％ ),while the expression intensity of COX-2 in HT was significantly higher than that in GD( all P＜0.05 ).The positive rates of CK-1 9 were much higher in type Ⅲ ( 81.3％ ) of GD than in type Ⅰ ( 1 5.8％ ) and type Ⅱ ( 40.9％ ) of GD,and also higher in type P( 100％ ) of HT than in type L(66.7％ ) of HT.The positive rates of VEGF-C were much higher in type Ⅲ ( 87.5％ ) of GD than in typeⅠ ( 36.8％ ) and type Ⅱ ( 50.0％,all P ＜ 0.05 ) of GD.ConclusionImmunohistochemical detection of the expression of CK-19,vimentin,VEGF-C,and COX-2 may carry clinical significance in revealing the occurrence and development as well as evaluating the prognosis of Graves'disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
