Purpose:To study the expression of COX 2,P53 and PCNA in esophageal carcinomas and its significance. Methods:Immunohistochemical method was used to examine the sections from 82 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, 20 esophagitis and 16 normal esophageal mucosa tissues. Results:The positive ratios of COX 2,p53 and PCNA were 87.8%(72/82),82.9%(68/82)and 95.1%(78/82) in 82 esophageal carcinomas, respectively. But there was no expression in adjacent noncancerous tissues and normal esophageal mucosa tissues. The positive ratio of COX 2 protein was significantly higher in the well differentiated and moderately differentiated esophageal carcinomas than in the poorly differentiated esophageal carcinomas( P

ObjectiveTo review the experience with surgical removal of meningiomas in the falx cerebri and sagittal sinuses.MethodsThirteen patients with meningiomas in the falx cerebri and sagittal sinuses were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsTumors in eleven patients were totally removed( Simpson Grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ ),while in two patients they were subtotally resected( Simpson Grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ ).After operations,no patient died.ConclusionAdequate surgical exposure,efficient management of operative bleeding,protection and replacement of the sagittalsinus,and avoidence of damage to the brain tissues were the key factors to improve operative effect.

Objective To investigate the possibility of anti-liver fibrosis of 13-estradiol nanoparticle prepared by interfacial polymeri-zation method with butylcyanoacylate as carrier material (E2-PBCA-NP) and its effect on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 and connective tissue growth factor in pig serum induced animal fibrotic model. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were random divided into five groups. Except normal control group, other four groups were all given intraperitoneal injection with pig serum. Therapeutic drugs were administered to rats from the ninth week after injection of pig serum. All rats were killed at the end of the twelfth week. Several experi-ments were done as below, the tissues of liver were observed by Masson staining, and the mRNA of TGF-β1 and CTGF of liver samples were detected by RT-PCR. Meanwhile, the expression of TGF-β1 and CTGF protein were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results It showed that both E2 and E2-PBCA-NP treatment groups had lower stage of liver fibrosis, according to the observation of pathology by Masson staining (P < 0.05). The anti-liver fibrosis effect of E2-PBCA-NP treatment group was better than that of E2 treatment group (P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein level of TGF-β1 and CTGF were markedly reduced by E2 and E2-PBCA-NP treatment, compared with liver fibrotic model groups (P <0.01). There was no statistical difference between E2-PBCA-NP and E2 treatment (P >0. 05), while no significant change was observed in blank nano -particle group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Both E2-PBCA-NP and E2 had anti-liver fibrosis activity. E2-PB-CA-NP has stronger anti - liver fibrosis activity than E2, which could be resulted from the inhibition of TGF-β1 and CTGF expression.

Results Of them, 20 were basically cured (48%), 12 had improvement (29%) ,3 were released from the hospital(7 % ), 1 survived(2 % ) in a vegetative state,and 6 died(14%). Conclu- sion Emergent tracheotomy should be performed on patients with severe craniocerbral trauma to resolve respiratory tract obstruction, improve air current, prevent cerebral anoxia, prevent and treat pulmonary infection, increase the therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of overseas imported malaria reported in Chongqing City from 2011 to 2015,so as to provide the evidence for improving the imported malaria control strategies. Methods The epi-demiological data of overseas imported malaria cases were collected and analyzed descriptively for the species,original coun-tries,diagnosis and treatment in Chongqing City from 2011 to 2015. Results A total of 148 overseas imported malaria cases were reported in Chongqing City from 2011 to 2015,in which 96(65.54%)cases were falciparum malaria,and 37(24.32%) cases were vivax malaria;125(84.46%)cases were infected in Africa,and the rest of 23(15.54%)cases were infected in Southeast Asia. Most of the patients were 30 to 50 years old male workmen,and the ratio of male to female was 11.42:1. There was no obvious seasonal distribution among the reported timelines of the cases;however,there were two small peaks from June to August and from January to February. The median interval time of imported malaria cases from malaria onset to see a doctor was 1 day and from seeing the doctor to get malaria diagnosis was 2 days. The patients'first selected institutions were county medical institutions(50 cases,33.78%),then provincial medical institutions(36 cases,24.325%)and private doctors(20 cases,13.51%),and only 79(53.38%)patients got malaria diagnoses in their first selected institutions. The standard treatment were provided to 142(95.54%)cases. There were 43(29.05%)patients had serious complications and three patients were dead. Conclusion It is very important to enhance the multi-sector's collaboration to establish the collaborative investigation mechanism for screening malaria patients,and strengthen malaria health education for overseas workers and training courses in primary care medical institutions.

Conclusion This study suggests that intraventricular hemorrhage were given bilateral ventricle drainage and uroki -nase for intraventricular fibrinolysis therapy +terminal cistern drainages effect is better .

Objective To classify patients with pelvic pain and to improve the understanding of etiology and to guide treatment by using a clinical phenotype system (UPOINT) and to examine the relationship between UPOINT and symptoms in patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. Methods From November 2009 to October 2011,54 IC/PBS patients including 42 female and 12 male patients were treated.The mean age was 41.0 ± 12.4 yrs (range from 21 to 76 yrs).Median symptom duration was 63.0 ± 59.2 months ( range from 6 to 240 months).54 patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome were classified in each domain of UPOINT,that was urinary,psychosocial,organ specific,infection,neurological/systemic and tenderness.Symptoms were assessed using the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index,Pain/Urgency/Frequency score and visual analogue scale for pain/urgency/frequency.Clinically relevant associations were calculated. Results In the 54 IC/PBS patients,median ICSI score was 15.0 ± 1.84 points ( range from 9 to 19 points) ; Median PUF was 20.0 ± 2.3 points ( range from 14 to 25 points) ; Median pain associated with bladder score of VAS was 7.0 ± 1.0 points (range from 5 to 10 points).The percent positive for each domain was urinary 100％,psychosocial 44％,organ specific 96％,infection 33％,neurological/systemic 24％ and tenderness 28％,respectively.All patients were included in at least 2 domains,with 2 domains of 11％,3 domains of 38％,4 domains of 36％,5 domains of 13％ and 6 domains of 2％.The number of domains was associated with greater symptom duration ( Spearman r =0.76,P ＜0.01 ) but not age.The number of domains was also associated with poorer general interstitial cystitis and pain symptoms ( Spearman r =0.89,P ＜ 0.01 ) but not with frequency or urgency.The psychosocial domain was associated with increased pain,urgency and frequency,while tenderness was associated with increased ICSI score,PUF score and urgency.The neurological/systemic domain was associated with increased ICSI score while the infection domain was not associated with any increased symptoms. Conclusions The UPOINT phenotyping system can classify patients with interstitial cystitis according to clinically relevant domains.The UPO1NT system can act as the guiding theoretical basis for directing multimodal therapy,it deserves clinical promotion.
