Objective:To investigate Intraflagellar Transport 80 (IFT80) protein expression in bone, lung, pancreatic, stomach, in-testinal, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers to explore its mechanism in cancer cell proliferation and to diagnose and identify new tar-gets in cancer treatment. Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the expression of IFT80 in gastric cancer tissue of different stages and in eight other kinds of human cancer tissues. We studied the relationship between cancer cell proliferation and inhi-bition of IFT80. Immunofluorescence method and cell culture were used to study the cilia and IFT80. Results:Results showed the fol-lowing:a) the expression of IFT80 was high in gastric and lung carcinoma tissues, moderate in breast and colorectal cancers, low in bone and ovarian cancers, and nearly absent in prostate and pancreatic cancers;b) inhibition of IFT80 in the A549 cancer cell line accel-erated cell proliferation and resulted in shorter, lower quality cilia;and c) IFT80 was abundantly expressed in cancer tissues of well-dif-ferentiated stage-IIA gastric cancer and normal gastric tissues, but was hardly expressed in late-stage, poorly differentiated gastric can-cer. IFT80 could have various degrees of expression in gastric carcinoma of other stages and differentiation. Conclusions:Different can-cer organs showed variation in IFT80 expression. IFT80 can be distributed in the organs with mechanical motion function, such as lungs and stomach. IFT80 is distributed on the cell cilia and can adjust the number and length of the cilia by reducing IFT80 protein ex-pression. Through a variety of ways, IFT80 directly or indirectly participates in the proliferation of cancer cells. Thus, the lowest or nearly zero expression of IFT80 can be seen in cancer tissues of high-grade malignancy, such as advanced cancers with poor differentia-tion.

Objective To evaluate the tolerance and safety of sorafenib for elderly patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.Methods Forty cases with advanced renal cell carcinoma were enrolled,26 were males and 14 were females,the average age was 70 years.Recurrence or metastasis was found in 32 patients who had received nephrectomy,22 of the 32 cases had received cytokine therapy before recurrence or metastasis.Primary renal lesions of 8 cases could not be resected,so patients get renal tumor biopsy.Pathological type of all patients was clear cell carcinoma.KPS of all the patients were ≥70 points.Sorafenib was used as first-line treatment,with 400 mg twice per day,until intolerance or disease progression occurred.Results The average treatment time was 7.5 months (3-18 months),CR 0 case,PR 6 cases,SD 29 cases,PD 5 cases.The overall objective response rate and disease control rate were 15.0% (6/40)and 87.5%(35/40),respectively.The median follow-up period was 11 months.The adverse reaction included hand-foot skin reaction(70.0%),alopecia (62.5%),rash(52.5%),diarrhea(37.5%),loss of appetite(32.5%),fatigue(27.5%).Most adverse reactions occurred around the second week after drug therapy initiation,their duration did not equal.And most of these adverse reactions could be released by symptomatic treatment,they did not affect the treatment.Conclusions The types of adverse reactions of sorafenib for elderly patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma are similar to those reported in the literature.Generally the degree of adverse reactions is minor,with good tolerance and safety.

Objective To study human bocavirus (HBoV) induced respiratory tract infection in Guangdong Province in China. Methods HBoV was deteced by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and was identified by DNA sequences. Results One strain of HBoV was detected and identified from 50 samples collected from children with acute respiratory tract infections. This was the first clinical case of HBoV infection reported in Guangdong and was named as GD-1 strain. The HBoV capsid protein (VP) gene amplified from the specimen by PCR was identified by sequencing and was compared with gene sequences in GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were constructed for sequence homology analysis. The nucleotides similarities between GD-1 and Beijing strains, France strains and Canada strains were over 98%, while the simlilarity was over 36% compared with Korea KNIH-2K6GJ2713 strain and over 77% compared with US NH4549 strain. Conclusion HBoV infection does exist in Guangdong Province. It is valuable to start systemic study on it.

Objective To investigate high risk factors associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in married women aged 25 to 54 years in Beijing. Methods From Mar. 2007 to Sep.2008, 6339 married women at age of 25 to 54 years were selected randomly by cross sectional survey in a total of 137 communities of 12 districts or counties in Beijing. The interview was carried out with unified questionnaires, gynecological examination. The cervical smear cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection of cervical secretion were detected. Women with abnormal cervical cytology underwent colposcopy and cervical biopsy. Odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of related high risk factors with CIN were studied by logistic regression analysis. Results Among 6339 women, the prevalence rate of CIN including 4 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was 5. 90% (374/6339). By multinomial regression analysis, HR-HPV infection (95% CI: 9. 953 - 15.811 ), History of trichomonas vaginitis (95 % CI: 1. 046 -2. 104), oral contraceptives (95% CI: 1. 087 - 1. 806), age less than 45 years old ( 95% CI: 1. 069 -1. 828) were related with CIN. Conclusion Infection rate of HR-HPV is an independent risk factor of CIN, however, the history of trichomonas vaginitis, oral contraceptives and age less than 45 years old are related risk factors of CIN.

Objective To study on the evaluation of haemodynamics in the normal and pulmonary hypertensive mouse hearts using pressure volume loops measured by electric catheter.Methods Compared the difference in haemodynamics between mice exposed to chronic hypoxia for 10 days,which causes hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (experimental group,n =8),and mice raised under normal atmospheric pressure (control group,n =8).The right carotid artery was cannulated with a 1.2 F catheter and advanced into the ascending aorta,then punctured towards the right ventricular apex.A 1.2 F admittance pressure-volume catheter was introduced using a 20-gauge needle to obtain the pressure-volume measurements and calculate hemodynamic parameters.Results There were no significant differences in average by weight,ratio of right atrial weight to body weight,left atrial weight/body weight,left ventricular free wall and septum weight/body weight between the 2 groups(all P ＞ 0.05).The ratio of right rentricle/left rentricle and septum weight as well as right rentricular weight/body weight was increased in the experimental group and of significant difference when compared to the control.The mice in in the experimental group had a 61％ mean decrease in cardiac output,a 55％ decrease in ejection fraction,and a 63％ decrease in ventricular compliance(P ＜0.05).The increase in dP/dtmax-EDVand PRSWfound in the experimental group reflected significant increase in myocardial contractility.Increase in Ees was observed but without significant difference as compared to the control.Ea significantly increased in the experimental group resulting in significant decrease in Ees/Ea from (0.71 ±0.27) to (0.35 ±0.17) (P＜ 0.005).Conclusion This study demonstrates the feasibility of obtaining RV pressure-volume measurements in mice using electric catheter.These measurements provide insight into right ventricular-pulmonary artery interactions in healthy and diseased conditions.

Objective To study pulmonary wedge angiography ( PWA ) with hemodynamic the evaluation of children with congenital heart disease and pulmonary artery hypertension ( PAH) . Methods Hemodynamic measurement and pulmonary wedge angiography were performed in 50 children with congenital heart disease. Comparison and analysis were made from the data obtained from PWA and catheterization. Results After PWA, the patients were categorized into 3 groups according to the measured hemodynamics parameters:group A [ n=15, patients with normal mean pulmonary artery pressure ( mPAP≤25 mmHg) and normal pulmonary vessel resistance (PVR﹤300 dyne?s?cm5)], group B [n=24, patients with PAH (mPAP﹥25 mmHg) but normal PVR] and group C (n=11, patients with PAH and elevated PVR (PVR≥300 dyne?s?cm5). Rote of tapering (ROT) was significant lower in group C than in group A and B (F=42. 559,P﹤0. 05). Pulmonary circulation time (PCT) was higher in group C than in group A and B (F=6. 037,P﹤0. 05). ROT correlated negatively with PVR (r = -0. 606, P ﹤0. 05). PCT index correlated positively with PVR (r=0. 783,P=0. 01). There was no significant correlation between PCT and mean pulmonary artery hypertension (mPAP). Conclusions PWA may help to make quantitative analysis of the pulmonary vascular status in patients with congenital heart disease.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the simultaneous measurement of right ventricular pressure-volume loops by cardiac catheterization and 2D electrocardiogram. Methods Patients referred for pulmonary hypertension underwent right heart catheterization in our hospital between June 1st, 2015 and June 1st, 2017 are to be enrolled in this study. The right ventricular volume was measured simultaneously by catheter and electrocardiogram. The pressure-volume loops were constructed by the parameters of the pressure and volume in the same cardiac cycle. Results The study completed in four cases and their pressure-volume loops were drawn. The obtained images were irregular and there was no relationship among them. As a result, the construction was a failure. Conclusions The construction of the right ventricular pressure-volume loops of pulmonary hypertension patients by simultaneous catheterization and 2D electrocardiogram is difficult to overcome the technology defects.
