Objective To investigate the relationship between standard CD44(CD44s)expression and tumor stage and prognosis in colorectal cancer.Methods CD44s expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissues and normal mucosa specimens from 74 cases of primary colorectal cancer.Results Of 74 cases,the expression of CD44s in colorectal cancer tissue and normal mucosa specimens was documented in 42% and 16%,respectively.The expression of CD44s in primary tumors significantly increased in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ than in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ(39% vs.6%,x~2=8.46,P＜0.01).A statistically significant correlation was observed between the overall survival and CD44s expression(x~2=17.82,P＜0.01).Furthermore,a poor prognosis of CD44s-positive tumors was observed in patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ colorectal cancer(x~2=16.23,P＜0.01),but not in patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer(x~2=1.34,P＞0.05).Multivariate analysis indicated that TNM stage and CD44s expression were independent predictors of overall survival in colorectal cancer.Conclusion CD44s overexpression is involved in the progress of colorectal cancer and predicting the prognosis.

BACKGROUND: The most commonly used rod-screw posterior spinal fixation system has some biomechanical drawbacks. The screw-plate system is more preferred for patients.OBJECTIVE: To prepare a new posterior spinal fixation system based on imaging results of distance between two pedicles,radian of spine flexion, extension and the height of intervertebral space of Chinese population.METHODS: The thoracolumbar data of 129 normal people were measured. According to the imaging measurements and relative documents, a device of gear-distraction plate (GDP) for spine reduction and fixation was designed. Eighteen fresh calf lumbar specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups, the test group was fixed by GDP and the other groups were fixed by CD and Steffee plate, respectively. The results of the displacement, strain, strength, stiffness and ultimate strength were measured under the states of vertical compression, flexion, extension and lateral bending respectively, and the results were statistically analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: GDP could meet the need of strength and stiffness of human bodies. It showed superior to the CD and Steffee plate groups in strength and stiffness (P ＜ 0.05), with 13% or 14% torsion intensity greater than that of the CD or Steffee plate groups. The ultimate mechanical performance test showed that, the load bearing of the GDP group was greater than that of the CD and Steffee plate groups (P ＜ 0.05). The findings demonstrated that GDP for Chinese human presented with good biomechanical stability, which can promote vertebrae fracture union and prevent kyphosis relapses or vertebral height loses.

Twenty five patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) were classified as mild, moderate and severe grade according to apnea hyponea index and lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation.Lower limbs were examined with ultrasonography, blood routine and D-dimer levels were measured in all patients.The results revealed an increased incidence of deep vein thrombosis with the extent of obstructive sleep apnea.There was no deep vein thrombosis in patients with mild-grade OSAHS, while there were 2 in moderate and 3 in severe patients.The blood D-dimer levels were (498 ± 22) pg/L, (659 ±43 ) μg/L, ( 1528 ± 181 ) μg/L in mild, moderate and severe patients, respectively.The hemoglobin levels were (150 ± 8) g/L, ( 183 ± 15) g/L and (261 ± 26) g/L in mild, moderate and severe patients,respectively.There may be some association of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome with deep vein thrombosis.

Objective To analyze the correlative factors of neonatal deaths in neonatology department to improve the treatment level and reduce the death rate of the hospitalized newborn patients.Method The medical records and death review data of the infants who died in the neonatology department of the Hospital from 2009 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed.They were assigned to three groups according to the therapeutic measures before their death,including comfort care group,do not resuscitate (DNR) group and active treatment group.Gestational age,birth weight,postnatal age at death and the direct cause of death were compared between groups by x2 test.Result A total of 337 infants were enrolled in this study.There were 112 cases (33.2％) in the comfort care group,73 cases (21.7％) in the DNR group and 152 cases (45.1％) in the active treatment group.Compared to the proportion of the different group during 2009-2012,the proportion of the comfort care group during 2013-2015 significantly increased(38.9％ vs.27.2％,P =0.023),and the proportion of the active treatment group significantly decreased (38.3％ vs.52.5％,P =0.009),while the proportion of the DNR group showed no significant difference (22.9％ vs.20.4％,P =0.580).The proportion of the comfort care group was significantly higher in the group of neonates who died in early neonatal period than that in the late neonatal period and post-neonatal period (42.9％ vs.9.3％,P ＜0.001),while the proportion of the active treatment group and DNR group decreased(17.9％ vs.30.9％,P =0.009;39.2％ vs.59.8％,P =0.001).The proportion the comfort care group increased with the decrcasing gestational age and birth weight (P =0.001 and 0.002).Of the 34 term infants,the top two principle causes of death were severe asphyxia (4.1.1％,14.cases) and congenital defects (32.4％,11 cases).Of the 303 preterm infants,the top three direct causes of death were neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (31.4％,95 cases),neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage (22.4％,68 cases) and congenital defects (6.3％,19 cases).Conclusion The proportion of comfort care and DNR was higher than the proportion of active treatment before the newborns' death and it was relative to gestational age and birth weight.Preterm infants were the predominant population of the infant deaths in the neonatology department.Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome was the principle cause of death in preterm infants,and severe asphyxia was the main cause of death in term infants.

Objective To study the effects of interferon γ(IFN-γ) on terminal erythroid differentiation.Methods RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of IFN-γ receptors during erythroid differentiation of K562 induced by hemin.Both hemin-induced K562 cells and human umbilical cord CD34+ cell derived primary erythroid cells were treated with IFN-γ.Erythroid differentiation of the cells was evaluated using RT-qPCR to detect the mRNA level of erythroid specific surface markers CD71 and CD235a,and benzidine staining assay was applied to explore the change of hemoglobin expression.Results The expression of IFN-γ receptors in K562 cells decreased and climbed up again after reaching the lowest point at 48 h of hemin induction.IFN-γ treatment increased CD71 and CD235a expression in both hemin-induced K562 cells and the later stage (E15D) primary erythroid cells.Benzidine staining showing increased globin protein expression in hemin-induced K562 cells after IFN-γstimulation.Furthermore,our results indicated that IFN-γ promoted hemin-induced K562 erythroid differentiation in a time dependent manner.Mechanistically,the results showed that IFN-γ treatment stimulated the expression of erythroid transcription factors NFE2,which was critically for erythroid maturation.Conclusions IFN-γaccelerates terminal erythroid differentiation in hemin-induced K562 cells and human umbilical cord CD34+ derived primary erythroid cells.

Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is a unique minimal integrin-binding sequence found within several glycoprotein ligands and also in snake-venom disintegrins. Adinbitor, a protein with 73 amino acid residues including 12 cysteins and an RGD motif, was cloned from Gloydius blomhoffi brevicaudus in my laboratory. As a new member of disintegrin family, adinbitor can inhibit both human platelet aggregation induced by ADP and angiogenensis in vivo and in vitro, the typical characters of disintegrin family. To separate the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation from that of inhibiting angiogenensis, the motif KGD was introduced into adinbitor cDNA to replace RGD by site-directed and PCR-based mutagenesis. The recombinant protein (recombinant adinbitor (KGD)) was expressed in E. coli BL21 and purified through the His· Bind affinity chromatography. Recombinant adinbitor (KGD) could inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation with IC50 value of 85 nmol/L. Considerably, it was a more effective inhibitor on platelet aggregation than recombinant adinbitor (RGD), which has an IC50 of 150 nmol/L. Interestingly, recombinant adinbitor (KGD) has no potency in inhibiting angiogenesis in vivo compared with recombinant adinbitor (RGD). These findings showed that KGD containing adinbitor was more suitable for inhibiting ADP-induced human platelet aggregation as a potential and specific inhibitor of human platelet aggregation, which might have promising therapeutic potential as an antithrombotic agent.
