Objective To detect the expression of BMI-1, and to discuss its role in the development of gastric cancer. Methods The expression of BMI-1 protein and mRNA in gastric cancer and adjacent tissues was detected by immunohistochemical P-V method (78 cases) and semi-quantitative RT-PCR (30 cases). Results The positive expression rate of BMI-1 protein in gastric cancer patients was 66.7 % (52/78), and it was 19.2 % (15/78) in adjacent tissues, the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 35.815, P= 0.000). The expression of BMI-1 mRNA in 30 gastric cancer tissues was 0.23 ± 0.12, it was 0.03 ± 0.12 in adjacent tissues, the difference was statistically significant (t=8.372, P=0.000). The expression of BMI-1 protein and mRNA was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (all P< 0.05). Conclusion The expression of BMI-1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, which may provide guidance for molecular pathogenesis, targeted therapy and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To measure the displacement of the silver clips guided by kV-plain film at state of moderate deep inspiration hold(mDIBH) assisted by active breathing control(ABC) and to explore the margin of clinical target volume(CTV) to planning target volume(PTV) for breast cancer patients treated with three-dimensional conformal external-beam partial breast irradiation (EB-PBI) assisted by ABC. Methods The patients undertook CT simulation assisted by ABC to get the CT images on the respiratory condition of mDIBH. Four selected silver clips in breast cavity were delineated and the cavity based on all of the clips were delineated as gross tumor volume (GTV). Before each irradiation, two orthogonal kV-plain films were taken for the patients in the respiratory condition of mDIBH assisted by ABC device. 2D-2D auto-matie registration was performed based on pixel between the kV-plain films and the digital reconstructed radi-ographs(DRR). Then manual registration was undertook to get the shifts of the four clips separately at LAT, LNG,and VRT directions. Based on the shift data,the margins of CTV to PTV at LAT,LNG and VRT direc-tions were calculated. Results The margins from CTV to PTV were 5.00 mm,7.78 mm and 9.30 mm at LAT,LNG and VRT directions based on the clip at cephal border of the cavity. The corresponding margins were 4.40 mm,6.43 mm and 6.73 mm based on the clip at bottom of the cavity;5.04 mm,8.63 mm and 10.54 mm based on the clip at lateral border of the cavity;5.40 mm,8.59 ram and 10.81 mm based on the clip at pedal border of the cavity. Conclusions The silver clips in breast cavity can be clearly showed on the kV-plain film. The displacement of the clips can be exactly measured by registration of kV-plain film and planning DRR in condition of mDIBH assisted by ABC. The margins from CTV to PTV for EB-PBI can be calculated based on the displacement of the clips.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of caudal block with dexmedetomidine mixed with lidocaine for management of perioperative analgesia in children. Methods Thirty pediatric patients, aged 2-6 yr, weighing 8-23 kg, scheduled for elective unilateral high ligation of hernial sac, were equally and randomly assigned into either lidocaine group ( group L ) or dexmedetomidine mixed with lidocaine group ( group DL) using a random number table. Each patient received a single caudal dose of 1% lidocaine 1 ml∕kg in group L. Each patient received a single caudal dose of 1% lidocaine 1 ml∕kg mixed with dexmedetomidine 1 μg∕kg in group DL. Postoperative analgesia was assessed using FLACC scale. When FLACC score ≥4, ibuprofen suspension 10 mg∕kg was given orally. The consumption of ibuprofen was recorded within 8 h after operation. The onset time of caudal block and duration of analgesia were recorded, and adverse effects were observed. Results Compared with group L, the onset time of caudal block was significantly shortened, the duration of analgesia was prolonged, and the requirement for ibuprofen was decreased in group L. There was no significant difference in adverse effects between the two groups. Conclusion Addition of dexmedetomidine 1 μg∕kg to caudal lidocaine can significantly optimize the efficacy of caudal block with lidocaine alone for the management of perioperative analgesia in children.
