Translational medicine, characterized by multi-disciplinary cooperation, is a new research area focusing on patients. Although translational medicine is still in its early stages in China, it has attracted increasing attention. To apply translational medicine, it is essential to implement the principles and methods of systematic biology to break the inherent barriers between basic and clinical science. Moreover, it is important to update research ideas, strengthen the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and construct public library research resources and exchange platforms.

AIM: To investigate the effects of major operation wound on both endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in hematoplasma of patients. METHODS: We measured both endothelin and calcitonin gene-related peptide in hematoplasma during perioperative period for 30 patients who underwent Ⅲ category operation and for 15 patients who underwent Ⅳ category operation. RESULTS: After operation, ET and CGRP in hematoplasma of both groups who underwent Ⅲ category and Ⅳ category operation were significantly increased compared with those before operation (P

Objective To evaluate the importance of clinical screening and follow up by direct colonoscopy for colorectal cancer at an early and curable stage. Methods There were 2 196 elderly people aged between 60 to 89 years. The clinical screening by direct colonoscopy was performed according to the protocol. 1 740 of 2 196(79.2%) patients were followed up every year. Results Fifty two elderly persons were found to be colorectal cancer patients by colonoscopy, with the detectable rate being 2.4%. Nineteen were diagnosed early stage colorectal cancer, accounting for 36.5% of the detected colorectal cancer. Nine among the followed up cases were detected early colorectal cancer, accounting for 45 0% of the detected colorectal cancer. The resectable rate and the 5 year survival rate was 97 7% and 80 9% for colorectal cancer, respectively. 98 9% of the cecum intubation cases was successful. The incidence of complication for colonoscopy was 0 05%. Conclusions By clincal colonscopy screening and follow up study for colorectal cancer and precancerous changes in the elderly, the patients with adenomatoid polyps were early diagnosed and treated, so it raised the detectable rate of early colorectal cancer and the level of grade prevention of colorectal cancer.

Objective [WT5”BZ] To study the relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and its serum antibody in the development of gastric carcinoma (GC) [WT5”HZ] Methods [WT5”BZ] Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to detect HPV DNA in 42 fresh GC specimens and 42 fresh normal gastric mucosa adjacent to the tumour (NGMAT). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to screen the serum HPV16 antibody(Ab) of 42 GC patients and 46 controls using HPV16 virus like particles (VLPs) which was produced by recombinant bacilovirus in insect cells [WT5”HZ] Results [WT5”BZ] HPV16 DNA was found in 26 2% (11/42) of GC specimens,but in none (0/42) of NGMAT ( P

Objective:To investigate the significance of CT imaging features in the diagnosis of first-episode paranoid schizophrenia.Methods:Forty-five patients with first-episode paranoid schizophrenia admitted to Shaoxing 7 th People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were included in the study group. An additional 40 healthy controls who received health examination were included in the control group. All participants underwent head CT scans and CT values of cerebral lobes were measured. CT imaging features of first-episode paranoid schizophrenia were analyzed. The recurrence rate of paranoid schizophrenia was calculated. The diagnostic effect of CT imaging on paranoid schizophrenia was evaluated. Results:The CT value of the frontal lobe in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(33.1 ± 1.4) HU vs. (36.9 ± 2.1) HU, t = 9.914, P < 0.001]. The proportions of patients having ventricular enlargement, sulcus widening, arachnoid cyst and cisterna magna in the study group were 51.1%, 24.4%, 31.1% and 20.0% respectively, which were significantly higher than 5.5%, 2.5%, 2.5% and 2.5% respectively in the control group ( χ2 = 21.688, 8.411, 11.928, 4.675, all P < 0.05). The recurrence rate of paranoid schizophrenia in the study group was 22.2% (10/45). The CT value of the left and right frontal lobe in patients with recurrent paranoid schizophrenia was (32.1 ± 1.7) HU and (32.5 ± 1.6) HU respectively, which was significantly lower than (35.0 ± 1.9) HU and (34.9 ± 1.7) HU in patients without recurrent paranoid schizophrenia ( t = 4.348 and 3.985, both P < 0.001). Conclusion:Patients with first-episode paranoid schizophrenia have brain structural abnormalities, as manifested by ventricular enlargement, sulcus widening, arachnoid cyst, and cisterna magna. CT imaging features are of great value in the diagnosis of first-episode paranoid schizophrenia. It deserves wide popularization and has a great innovation value.

Pre-S2 protein in 78 samples of liver from patients with various types of hepatitis B was determined by immunohistochemical method.45 out of 78 samples (57.69%) were positive for pre-S2.The location and expression patterns of pre-S2 were similar to those of HBsAg,i.e.,pre-S2 was found in cytoplasm of hepatocytes,epithelial cells of bile ducts,and hepatocellular carcinoma cells,etc,Four different patterns diffuse,inclusion,submembranous,and membranous type were demonstrated.The membranous expression of pre-S2 was often associated with activity of liver diseases.The positive rate of pre-S2 was significantly higher in HBcAg positive group than HBcAg negative group.It seems that pre-S2 protein of HBV may be a replicative marker of HBV.

Objective To retrospectively investigate the endoscopic characteristics and pathological features of colorectal polyps in over-aged patients (≥80 years). Methods The 1617 colonoscopies performed between January 2006 and December 2010 were enrolled in our retrospective analysis. The detection rate, size, location, form and pathological feature of polyps in 150 over-aged patients were investigated, and they were compared with those in 832 young patients (<60 years) and 635 old patients (60-79 years) with colorectal polyps. Results The detection rate of polyps was 62.0% in over-aged group, and was significantly higher than in young group and old group (30.2% and 48.7%, respectively, χ2=56.58 and 8.64,both P<0.001). The malignant transformation rate of ascending colon polyp was 5.4% in over-aged group, and was significantly higher than in young group (1.2%, χ2=4.90, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between over-aged group and old group (3.9%, χ2=0.36, P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in canceration rate, polyp diameter, morphology and adenomatous polyp rate among the three groups. The malignant transformation rate was significantly increased in adenomatous polyps with diameter over 2 cm, but didn't reach statistical significance. Conclusions The polyp detection rate is noticeably higher in the over-aged than in the old and the middle-aged, and the malignant transformation probability is also increased. The colonoscopy indications in the high risk age groups should appropriately be broadened, they should receive regular intervals follow-up, and undergo polypectomy in time if necessary.

Objective: To investigate the alterations of bcl-2 gene family in the rat brain and the molecular mechanism of neuronal apoptosis follow ing traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to lateral fluid percussion brain injury(FPBI) of moderate severity. bax and bcl-xL mRNA and protein expression was detected by RT-PCR an d immunohistochemistry. In addition to morphological evidence of apoptosis, TUNE L histochemistry was used to identify DNA fragmentation in situ under both l ight and electron microscope, whereas characteristic internucleosomal DN A fragm entation of apoptosis was demonstrated by DNA gel electrophoresis. Resul ts: bcl-xL mRNA and protein decreased in the ipsilateral hemisphere t o the impact site as early as 6 h post-injury[(67.42±7.54)% and (85.85±5.72)% r espectively]. The decrease in bcl-xL mRNA and protein preceded apoptosis was observed 12 h post-injury. And this was the main cause of up-regulation of the ratio of bax to bcl-xL in the acute period(minutes-hours) followin g FPBI. bax mRNA and protein were observed to rise slowly, doubled 3 d post- injury, returned to sham level slowly. The delayed cell death (days-weeks) migh t associated with the up-regulation of pro-apoptotic gene bax. Conclusio n: The expression of bcl-xL and bax coincide with apoptosis following TBI. The reg ulation of bax and bcl-xL by TBI occur before transcription. The balance of bax/bcl-xL ratio determines the neurocytes to survive or die following FPBI.
