Objective To observe the translations of chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 in endometrial carcinoma tissues,and to evaluate their significance in clinical pathologic features of endometrial carcinoma.Methods From Jan.2012 to Dec.2014,52 tissue specimens of patients with endometrial carcinoma were admitted to the hospital,aged 55.6 ± 19.2 years,and 26 cases of normal endometrium as control,aged 52.3±16.5 years old.Expressions of CXCL12 and CXCR4 in the tissue specimens were detected by immunohistochemistry,and to analyze the relationship between the expressions and clini-cal pathological features,and FIGO stage,cell differentiation,lymph node metastasis and pathological type in endometrial carcinoma.Results In endometrial carcinoma,the positivity rates of CXCR4 and CXCL12 were 76.92% and 69.23% re-spectively.The positive expression rates of which were 34.62% and 30.77% in normal endometrium tissues,statistically significant (χ2 =11.826,P <0.01).The expression of CXCR4 was positively correlated with the differentiation of endome-trial carcinoma cells (P <0.05).In endometrial carcinoma,with the exception of CXCR4 expression and cell differentiation was positively related (r=0.386,P <0.05),CXCL12 and CXCR4 expression and clinical stage,pathological type and lymph node metastasis no correlation was found (P >0.05).Conclusion The results showed that the expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 in endometrial carcinoma tissues was significantly increased,which may play an important role in the development of endometrial cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its relationship with the clinical pathological parameters of ccRCC.Methods The expression of CXCR4 was detected by immuno-histochemistry method in 63 cases of ccRCCs,20 cases of para-carcinoma tissues and 20 cases of normal renal tissues.The correlation between expression level of CXCR4 and clinical pathological parameters of ccRCC patients were analyzed,and the clinical significance of its expression in ccRCC was evaluated.Results The positive expression rate of CXCR4(49.2％) in ccRCCs was significantly higher than that in para-carcinoma tissues (15％) and normal renal tissue (10％),and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of CXCR4 and the clinical stage and pathological grade of ccRCC were correlated (P ＜ 0.05),and was associated with lymph node transfer (P ＜ 0.05).The CXCR4 negative group overall survival rate [55.2％ (16/29)] and the average survival time(46 months) was significantly better than the positive group [38.5％ (10/26),32 months;P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The expression level of CXCR4 in ccRCC is correlated with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.CXCR4 is expected to be an important marker for diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To study the significance of combined detection of procalcitonin ( PCT ) , C-reactive protein( CRP) and lipopolysaccharide( LPS) for early diagnosis of bacterial infection in newborns. Methods Clinical data of ninety-eight newborns from neonatal ward of our hospital were retrospectively studied. Fifty cases with bacterial infectious diseases were selected as infection group,in the same period,48 cases with non-bacterial infectious diseases were selected as control group. In the 24 hours after admission before use of antibiotics,all of cases were picked blood used for testing CRP,PCT,LPS and blood culture, and the results were contrasted and analyzed. Results The levels of serum PCT,CRP and LPS in infection group were respectively significantly higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05,respectively). In gram-positive bacterium group,the positive rate of combined detection of serum PCT and CRP was obviously higher than that of single detection of PCT or CRP ( 91. 3% vs. 60. 9%,P<0. 05;91. 3% vs. 56. 5%,P<0. 05 respectively) . In gram-negative bacteria group,positive rate of combined detection of serum PCT and LPS was obviously higher than that of single detection of PCT or LPS respectively(88. 9% vs. 59. 3%,P<0. 05;88. 9% vs. 66. 7%,P<0. 05 respectively). Conclusion Joint detection can improve the diagnostic efficiency, and reduce missed diagnosis. And we can identify disease which predominantly infected by positive bacteria or negative bacteria through joint detection,which can contribute to the choice of clinical antibiotic drugs.

CONCLUSIONS:Xuangui zhitong dispersible tablet had a rapid disintegration and the behavior of dissolution is similar to Xuangui zhitong dropping pills.

Objective To observe the effects of Salvia injection on the brain pathology,expression of synaptophysin and the synaptic ultrastructure at different time points in neonatal rats after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD).Methods One hundred and fifteen healthy newborn SD rats of 7-day-old were randomly divided into normal group,sham group,Salvia high dose group,Salvia low dose group,and the HIBD model group.The HIBD model was prepared by ligation of the left carotid artery combined with hypoxic environment.The rats(in normal group,sham and HIBD model groups) were injected with sterile saline[9.0 mL/(kg · d)],while the rats in high and low dose groups were injected with Salvia injection [9.0 mL/(kg · d) and 4.5 mL/(kg · d) respectively].The intraperitoneal injec tion lasted for 7 and 14 days.The rats' brains were collected at one day,7 days and 14 days after the modeling respec tively.The specimens of brain tissue were observed through hematoxylin-eosin (HE),the expression of synaptophysin (SYP) was determined by using immunohistochemistry method,and the synaptic ultrastructure in the frontal cortex was observed through transmission electron microscope.Results Finally,106 newborn rats were included in statistics analysial.(1)General observation:after HIBD modeling,the neonatal rats were mostly in the left-lateral position,with difficulties in turning over,balance abnormalities,limb shaking and other abnormal behaviors,and the delay of eyes open with the left upper eyelid ptosis.(2) Pathology:the disordered and deep stained nerve cells,the degenerated and necrotic neurons were observed in the brain tissues of the HIBD model group.(3) Expression of synaptophysin:mean density of SYP in the HIBD model group was significantly lower than the normal group on day 1,day 7,and day 14 (P ＜0.05);the SYP expression in the Salvia intervention groups increased compared with the HIBD model group(P ＜ 0.05).(4) Synaptic ultrastructure:the incomplete structure of the frontal cortex neurons,the swelling organelle and the synaptic structure damage were observed in the HIBD rats.Compared with the HIBD model group,the neuronic and synaptic ultrastructure were improved by the intervention treatment of high and low dose Salvia injection.Conclusions The mechanism of Salvia injection in treatment of neonatal rats with HIBD may be associated with the improvement in neuronal ultrastructure and synaptic reorganization.

Objective To analyze the application value of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification in treating patients with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) under local anesthesia for upper urinary tract calculi. Methods A total of 80 patients with PCNL under local anesthesia for upper urinary tract calculi were divided into high-risk group (ASA Ⅲ to Ⅳ level) with 36 cases and low-risk group (ASA Ⅰ to Ⅱ level) with 44 cases according to ASA classification, and perioperative indicators (operation time, intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay), stone clearance rate, inflammatory factors[C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], score of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results Hospital stay in the low-risk group was significantly shorter than that in the high-risk group (P < 0.05); the stone clearance rate was 93.18% in the low-risk group, which was significantly higher than 75.00% in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). Before surgery, the levels of serum CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.05); one day after surgery, the levels of serum CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.05). On the first, the third, and the fifth day after surgery, the VAS score in the high-risk and low-risk groups decreased significantly, and the VAS score in the low-risk group was significantly lower than that in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). Incidence rate of complications in the low-risk group was 4.54%, which was significantly lower than 19.44% in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Application of PCNL under local anesthesia in treating patients with upper urinary tract calculi of ASA Ⅰ to Ⅲ has milder inflammation and pain when compared to those of ASA Ⅲ to Ⅳ, and the incidence rate of complications is relatively low.

Objective To investigate whether microtubule disassembly plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the opening of mitochondria permeability transition pore (MPTP) in hypoxic cardiomyocytes and the decrease of its activity, resulting in its hypoxic injury. Methods Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in primary culture were randomized as normoxia group (A), hypoxic group (B), normoxia treated with microtubule destabilizing agent (Colchicine) group (C), hypoxia treated with microtubule stabilizing agent (Taxol) group (D). At 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12 h after treatment, polymeric tubulin was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting, mitochondria permeability transition pore (MPTP) open by coloading with calcein AM and cobalt chloride, and the activity of cells by measuring the mitochondrial-dependent reduction of MTT to formazan. Results Early microtubule disassembly, MPTP open and activity decrease of cardiomyocytes in both groups B and C were observed at 0.5 h after treatment. These phenomena all became more and more significant with the prolongation of treatment. However, microtubule disassembly, MPTP open and activity decrease of cardiomyocytes of group D were significantly lower than those of group B. Conclusion Microtubule disassembly happened at 0.5 h after hypoxic treatment. Microtubule stabling agent Taxol and destabilizing agent Colchicine can regulate microtubule integrity efficiently. The microtubule damage plays an important role in the hypoxic injury of cardiomyocytes.
