Objective To evaluate the correlation between the expression of C5b-9 and the gastric carcinoma.Methods In this study, the human gastric adenocarcinoma (HGAC)tissues (n =32 cases)from 32 patients were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and tissue chip.The result was analyzed and evaluated by Multinomial logistic regression and likelihood ratio.Results Multinomial logistic regression and likelihood ratio testing showed that over-expression of C5b-9 in HGAC tissue was significantly correlated with clinical stage (P =0.007) and tumor stage (P =0.005),but not with tumor metastasis,lymphoid nodal status,sex or age.Conclusion C5b-9 can be the criteria of di-agnosis and clinical staging for gastric adenocarcinoma,which may help in diagnosis and assessment disease severity of human gastric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of continuous norepinephrine infusion and its mechanism in early stage of lipopolysaccharide induced septic rats.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (an external jugular vein catheterization was performed in every rat a day before intraperitoneal injection):saline control group (n =8),endotoxin group (n =8),low dose norepinephrine therepy group(n =8),middle dose norepinephrine therepy group (n =8),and high dose norepinephrine therepy group (n =8).Saline control group received intraperitoneal injection of 0.9％ saline 10 ml/kg,and then received an infusion of 0.9％ saline 1 ml/h.Endotoxin group animals were intraperitoneal injected with lipopolysaccharide 10 mg/kg,and then received an infusion of 0.9％ saline 1 ml/h.Therapy group animals received an infusion of norepinephrine solution 1 ml/h after being intraperitoneal injected LPS 10 mg/kg.The doses of norepinephrine were 0.06,0.3,0.6 μg/(kg· min) respectively.Blood samples were taken 2 h and 6 h later and the levels of serum TNF-α、IL-1β and IL-10 were detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay.The membrane potential and three tricarboxylic acid cycle key enzyme activity [isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity] of isolated liver mitochondrion were detected 24 h later,and the morphologic changes of mitochondria in liver were observed by electronic microscopy.Results In endotoxin group,the levels of serum TNF-α JL-1 β and IL-10 all increased significantly(P ＜ 0.05) and liver mitochondrial membrane potential,PDH and IDH activity decreased significantly compared with control group(P ＜0.05,P ＜0.01).In the middle dose of norepinephrine therepy group,the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-1β all increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01),the level of serum IL-10 decreased significantly compared with endotoxin group (P ＜ 0.05) ; In the high dose norepinephrine therepy group,the liver mitochondrial membrane potential,PDH and IDH activity increased significantly compared with endotoxin group (P ＜ 0.05).The mitochondrial ultrastructural changes in every group were not obviously.Conclusion In the early stage of septic rats,reversible liver mitochondrion injury can be observed.Norepinephrine infusion can protect early septic rats through attenuating inflammatory reaction and enhancing tricarboxylic acid cycle key enzyme activity and mitochondrial membrane potential level.

Background and purpose:A pre-surgery diagnosis of cervical invasion in endometrial cancer was usually determined by dilatations and curettage(D&C),so it could help in optimizing surgery,but the reliability of D&C still was controversial.This study was to compare MRI with D&C to estimate their accuracy for the diagnosis of cervical invasion in endometrial carcinoma respectively.Methods:34 endometrial cancer patients had been proved to have cervical invasion in endometrial cancer through examinations of either fractional dilatations and curettages(D&C),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)before surgery or postoperative histopathologic examination.The results of D&C and MRI were compared with postoperative histopathologic examination,and the sensitivity,specificity were estimated for accuracy of cervical involvement in endometrial cancer.Results:21 of 34 patients were identified as having cervical invasion in endometrial cancer by histopathology after operation.D&C test matches 26.5% of them and MRI test matches 80%.The sensitivity was 35% vs.76.5% and the specificity 7.7% vs.100% for D&C and MRI methods respectively.All of them had significant statistical differences.Conclusions:MRI test is much better than D&C method for preoperative diagnosis of cervical invasion in endometrial carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the clinical result of long stem bipolar femur prosthetic replacement for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.Methods A total 48 patients of intertrochanteric fractures,at age of 70 years or above,were treated with cemented long stem bipolar femur prosthetics.The surgery time,blood loss,Harris hip score and complication rate were observed.Results The average surgery time,the blood loss,Harris hip scores of the arthroplasty were 70 minutes,400 ml and 87 ml,respectively,without any complications.Conclusion Long stem bipolar femur prosthetic replacement can gain good hip function and decrease the complications of fracture in treating intertrochanteric fractures.

The human bone morphogenetic protein 7 (hBMP 7) gene was reconstructed in retroviral vector and transferred into incasing cells PT67 by liposome mediated method.The clones of the cells transferred with BMP 7 were selected by G418, and targeted rabbit bone marrow stem cells were infected with the virus granules which secreted from PT67 cells and also selected by G418. The mRNA and protein of BMP 7 gene in transferred cells were analyzed with hybridization in situ and immunohistochemistry. BMP 7 retrovirus vetor was successfully reconstructed. Cells transferred by PLNCX 2 hBMP 7 expressed abundant human BMP 7 mRNA and protein in the cytoplasm. However positive findings were not found in those cells that were not transferred. It may be used to increase the osteogenic capability of BMSc in the study of bone tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the impact of high altitude on human gastric mucosa and its underlying mechanisms. Methods Twenty-five native Tibetans with chronic mountain sickness CMS residing at high altitude (4500 m) were examined for ultrastrueture and pathological changes of gastric mucosa. The other 25 native Tibetans residing at low altitude (＜2000 m) were served as control.The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in human gastric mucosa was detected with immunohistochemistry. Results The color of gastric mucosa presented dark in patients with CMS.The histopathological examination showed significant differecnce in incidence of cnronc body gastritis and atrophic gastritis between CMS group and control group (P＜0. 05). The transmission electronic microscopy revealed that the epithlieal cells of gastric mucosa were impared in CMS group compared to control group. The expression of HIF-1α protein was increased in CMS group in comparison of control group (102.94± 34.04 vs 14.04 ± 6.53, P＜0.05). Conclusions The high altitude may involve in damage of gastric mucosa and the up-regulation of HIF-1α protein may involve in its mechanism.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and pharmacoeconomics of rhIL-11(Ⅰ) and rhTPO in the treatment of thrombocy-topenia caused by gemcitabine chemotherapy in lung cancer patients. Methods:A retrospective analysis was used. Totally 58 hospital-ized lung cancer patients who suffered thrombocytopenia caused by gemcitabine chemotherapy and treated with rhIL-11(Ⅰ) or rhTPO from June 2011 to June 2014 were involved in the study, and the efficacy and pharmacoeconomics of rhIL-11(Ⅰ) and rhTPO were e-valuated and compared. Results:The lowest platelet value after the chemotherapy in rhIL-11(Ⅰ) group was higher than that in rhTPO group (P<0. 01), and the platelet decrease time in rhIL-11(Ⅰ) group was shorter than that in rhTPO group (P<0. 01), while the platelet qualified rate of the two groups showed no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). The results of cost-minimization anal-ysis showed that the average cost of rhIL-11(Ⅰ) group was lower than that of rhTPO group(P<0. 01), furthermore, the average cost of the patients with GP, GC or the other gemcitabine chemotherapy regimens in rhIL-11 (Ⅰ) group was lower than that in rhTPO group. Conclusion:The effect of rhIL-11 (Ⅰ) in the treatment of thrombocytopenia caused by gemcitabine based-chemotherapy in lung cancer patients is not inferior to that of rhTPO, and shows certain advantages in economic cost.
