Objective When pathologists from hospitals at various levels encounters pathological sections diffcult to make clear diagosis, it is necessary to invite pathologists from higher hosiptals or special hospitals for pathologic consultation.In the study, we compared the pathological diagnosis of cases sent to other hospitals for pathological consultation with the original diagnostic result to analyze the differences by the evaluation on the impact of these differences on the treatment and prognosis of these patients, which would provide an effective evidence for the quality control of pathological diagnosis. Methods Cases initially diagnosed at the de-partment of Nanjing General Hospital and later sent to other hospitals for pathological consultation from 2010 to 2014 were collected. All the diagnostic results were examined by at least 3 senior pathologists to find exact diffrences between consultation results and origi-nal diagnostic results. Results Among 2055 cases, it was found that there were 1813 cases (88.2%) without diagnostic discrepan-cy, while 218 cases (10.6%) with minor diagnostic discrepancy and 24 cases (1.2%) with completely distinct diagnostic results. Conclusion The diagnostic results of the vast majority of consultation cases are in accordance with the original results, despite of di-agnostic discrepancies in some cases due to the complexity of disease. Expert consultation has reference for the pathological diagnosis of complicated cases, which also plays a potent supervisory role on the quality control of original pathologic results.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of a novel compound, C3C12PPD, a bioactive unnatural ginsenoside by metabolically engi-neered yeasts based on a new UDP-glycosyl- transferase from Bacillus subtilis. METHODS MTT assay was used to analyze the anti-proliferation activity of C3C12PPD in vitro. The effect of anti-tumor activity was observed by mouse Lewis xenograft model in vivo.The effects of C3C12PPD on suppressing the angio-genesis and invasion of A549 cells were investigated in vitro using Transwell and tube formation assays. RNAseq was used to find tagets of C3C12PPD. Western blotting was performed to investigate the expres-sion level of proteins in tumor tissues treated with C3C12PPD. RESULTS C3C12PPD could inhibit the growth of lung cancer in vitro and in viv o. At the dosage of 10.0 mg·kg-1, C3C12PPD inhibited tumor growth by 40.0% (P<0.05) in tumor weight in mouse Lewis xenograft. The inhibition of tube formation was 77.5%(P<0.01)and 80.3%(P<0.01)following treatment with 1×10-4and 2×10-4mol·L-1C3C12PPD for 5 h, whereas the proliferation of EA.hy926 cells was not influenced under the above concentrations. Under the concentrations of 1×10-4mol·L-1,C3C12PPD inhibited invasive ability of A549 cells(P<0.05).The results of RNAseq susgested that antitumor activity of C3C12PPD were associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and angiogenesis. Moreover, the proteins related to EMT, Raf/MEK/ERK and AKT/mTOR signal pathways were effected by C3C12PPD analysed by western blotting. CONCLUSION These data suggested that C3C12PPD was able to supress lung cancer through inhibit EMT, invision and angiogenesis.

Aim: To study theapoptotic rate (AR) and the androgen and estrogen milieu in the proximal and distal ductal sys tems of prostate, in order to help exploring the effects of these factors on prostatic growth and the pathogenesis of be nign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Methods: The proximal and distal ends of the ductal system were incised from 20 normal prostate as well as the hypertrophic prostate tissue from 20 patients with BPH. The AR was determined by the DNA end-labeling method and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estrodiol (E2), by radioimmunoassay. Results:There was no significant difference in DHT and E2 density between the proximal and distal ends of the ductal systems in normal prostate. E2 appeared to be higher in BPH than in normal prostatic tissues, but the difference was statistically in significant. In normal prostatic tissue, the AR was significantly higher in the distal than in the proximal ends of the ductal system ( P < 0.05), while the AR of the proximal ends was significantly higher ( P < 0.01) than that in the BPH tissue. No significant correlation was noted between the DHT and E2 density and the AR both in the normal prostate and BPH tissues. Conclusion: The paper is the first time describing a difference in AR in different regions of the ductal system of normal prostate, while the hormonal milieu is similar, indicating a functional inhomogeneity of these regions. A low AR in the proximal duct, where BPH originates, and an even lower AR in the BPH tissue, sug gesting the participation of apoptosis in the BPH pathogenesis.

OBJECTIVE Evidience appears that parthenolide (PN) induces anti-tumor effects by NF-κB signal pathway. MCL3 the derivative of PN,is sesquiterpene lactone synthesized by the group of Professor Pan Xiandao.The study was to explore the anti-tumor activity and mechanism of MCL3 in glioma. METHODS The effect of MCL3 on the proliferation of glioma cell lines was examined by MTT assay. Apoptotic activity was investigated by flow cytometry. The Transwell cell invasion assay was used to determine the effect of MCL3 on the G422 cell invasive ability.The effect of MCL3 on the angio-genesis was analyzed by a capillary-like tube formation assay. The subcutaneously transplanted and orthotopic G422 cell xenograft models were used to detect the effect of MCL3 on tumor growth in vivo. The pathological changes were analyzed by H&E staining. Protein level related to the NF-κB signal pathway was dertimined by Western blotting. The effect of MCL3 on the NF-κB transcriptional activity was examined by a dual-luciferase reporter assay.RESULTS The anti-proliferative activity was observed following treatment with MCL3 for 96 h in G422, U-87 MG, U251 and Hs683 cell lines, and the IC50 was 8.94 μmol·L-1,6.44 μmol·L-1,14.8 μmol·L-1,18.9 μmol·L-1,respectively.The percentage of apop-totic cells increased in MCL3-treated G422 cells,and the apoptosis rate was 26.4%(the apoptosis rate was 5.68% in control group).MCL3 could inhibit the invasion in G422 cells,and the invasive inhibition rate was 43.63%(P<0.01)at 10.0 μmol·L-1.MCL3 inhibited tube formation of EA.hy926 cells,and the inhibitory rate was 81.67%(P<0.01)at 10.0 μmol·kg-1.At 40.00 mg·kg-1,MCL3 supressed tumor growth by 79.03% (P<0.01) in tumor weight in subcutaneously transplanted G422 xenograft models, and by 69.97% (P<0.01) in volume in orthopotic G422 xenograft models. H&E staining demonstrated that MCL3 could decrease tumor angiogenesis and invasion, increased necrosis of tumor cells. The dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that MCL3 inhibited NF-κB transcriptional actvity, and the inhibition rate was 50.07%(P<0.05)at 10.0 μmol·L-1compared with control.Moreover,MCL3 inhibited the phos-phorylation of NF-κB in nuclear mediated by supression of phosphorylated IKKα/β and IκB,and decreased the expression of IL-6 regulated by NF-κB.Eventually,the phosphorylation of State3 decreased following the administration of MCL3, resulting in the downregulation of State3 taget genes, including HIF, VEGF,FAK,MMP-2,MMP-9,Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.CONCLUSION The anti-tumor effect of MCL3 was partly due to the inhibition of NF-κB/IL-6/State3 pathway in glioma.

Objective To disclose the etiological factors and to investigate the therapeutical effect on nasal disorders in 128 children with intractable cough. Methods One hundred and twenty-eight children with intractable cough were consulted by ENT doctors using electronic nasopharyngoscope, for those children with nasal diseases, relevant treatment was given. Results Among 128 children, one hundred and sixteen had nasal disorders. Upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) was diagnosed in 92 cases(71.9% ), nasal disorders without UACS was diagnosed in 24 cases(18.7%) ,no nasal disorders were found in 12 cases (9.4% ). Among children with UACS, allergic rhinitis was diagnosed in 76 cases, rhino-sinusitis in 39 cases,adenoid hypertrophy in 54 cases, and chronic rhinitis in 8 cases. However, for those children without UACS, 10 cases had chronic rhinitis and 14 cases had allergic rhinitis. Clinical symptoms, signs and the findings of electronic nasopharyngescope were analyzed in 92 children with UACS. The results showed that regular cough occurred in 62 cases, nasal disease in 65 cases, subjective feeling of postnasal discharge in 18 cases, mouse breathing or snoring in 32 cases, purulent secretion in nasal meatus in 61 cases,retropharyngeal folliculosis in 58 cases, purulent secretion in pharynges detected from pharynx in 41 cases,and purulent or viscosity secretion were found in 91 cases by first electronic nasopharyngoscopy. After 14 days of treatment, the children with UACS (90/92) had significant higher remission rate (χ~2=32.21 ,P=0.000) in cough than those who had nasal disorders but without UACS (13/24). Conclusions The nasal disorders, especially for UACS, were common in children with intractable cough. The therapy to nasal disorders could release the chronic cough symptoms in children with intractable cough.
