Objective:To observe the effects of high-frequency current on rabbits dental pulp and to provide experimental evidences for clinic research.Methods:60 healthy 3 months old rabbits were divided into 4 experimental groups and 2 control groups.Dental pulps of experimental groups were treated with high-frequency currents with output power of 5 W,10 W,15 W and 20 W respectively.Then the devitalization degree of injury of dental capsule of experimental groups were compared with treated by complex toad composition,a type of traditional pulp devitalized medicine.Results:The effects between the devitalized effect of high-frequency current under 15 W and that of the traditional medicine were similarly.The concomitant injury of root canal tubal wall and periapical were not detected.Dental pulp of deactivation was easy to be extirpated and bled little while being extirpated.Conclusion:The reliability and safety of 15 W high-frequency output current could be the important parameter for clinic application research.

Objective To investigate the survival and prognostic factors in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST).Methods The histopathological slides from 153 patients with GIST were reviewed. The expression of CDllT,CD34,platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFR-a) and Ki-67 proteins were measured by immunohistochemical staining. The factors thatinvolved in the survival and prognosis were analyzed based on the clinical features and GIST biological behavior ranking.The Kaplan-Meier and Cox model were used to evaluate the effect of variant factors on survival and prognosis.Results The survival rate of 135 patients was 94.1% 76.3% and 65.9% at 1,3 and 5 years,respectively.On univariate analysis survival was predicted by tumor size (χ2= 40.565,P<0.01),primary tumor location (χ2=13.245,P<0.01),mitotic count (χ2= 22.626,P<0.01),risk ranking (χ2=19.186,P<0.01),necrosis (χ2==28.665,P<0.01),incomplete resection χ2=2 =29.110,P<0.01) and Ki-67 index (χ2=15.953,P<0.01).Multivariate analysis demonstrated that thetumor size > 10 cm,primary tumor location,mitotic count> 10/50 HPF,high risk subgroup,tumor necrosis and Ki 67 index > 5 % were poor predictors of survival.Ki-67,tumor size and mitotic count were strong poor predictors of survival.Conclusions Fletcher's biological behavior ranking is a good approach to predict prognosis of GIST patients and has significant clinical value.It's better to combine itwith other factors such as Ki-67 index and primary tumor location in order to provide evidence for therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Spleen- strengthening decoction on GLP- 1 in patients with type II diabetes. METHODS: A randomized double- blind placebo- controlled test was conducted, and through observations for 8 wks, the changes of the two patient groups in plasma glucose, HbA1c, plasma GLP- 1 and Glucagon as well as TCM symptom score were measured for comparison. RESULTS: Before administration of Spleen- strengthening decoction, the two groups showed no significant difference in all of the indexes. After administration, the treatment group recorded lower indexes in fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c and plasma Glucagon, but higher index in fasting plasma GLP- 1, with no significant difference seen in other indexes. CONCLUSIONS: Spleen- strengthening decoction can improve glucose metabolism through heightening fasting plasma GLP- 1, and lowering both Glucagon and fasting plasma glucose.

Background and purpose:Loss of the tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is one of the most common somatic genetic aberrations in prostate cancer in Western countries and is frequently associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of PTEN protein loss in Chinese prostate cancer patients and to determine its association with the biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.Methods:The data from 225 diagnosed localized prostate cancer patients with radical prostatectomy from 2006 to 2011 were collected retrospectively, including patient’s age at diagnosis, prostate-speciifc antigen (PSA) level at diagnosis, Gleason score, clinical stage, surgical margin, and time to biochemical recurrence or not. This study performed PTEN protein immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays, which were made from 225 Chinese prostate cancer patients mentioned above, treated by radical prostatectomy with one case including 2 cancer spots and 2 adjacent normal gland spots. Correlations of PTEN loss with clinicopathological features were analyzed usingχ2 test. Kaplan-Meier survival model and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to evaluate the predictive role of PTEN protein expression and patient characteristics for biochemical recurrence. Results:PTEN protein loss was observed in 15% of the patients and was associated with increased preoperative PSA levels (P=0.03) and old age (P=0.009). In univariate Kaplan–Meier analysis, the factors associated with the biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer included PSA levels (P=0.000 4), Gleason sum (P=0.019 8), and PTEN status (P=0.013 1). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, PTEN expression (HR=0.536, P=0.044), PSA levels (HR=1.879, P=0.001), and Gleason score (HR=1.361,P=0.03) were signiifcant in predicting biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.Conclusion:PTEN protein loss is associated with an increased risk of recurrence, independent of known clinicopathological factors.

Objective To explore the relationship between polymorphism of miR-499A > G with inci-dence and prognosis of colorectal cancer in Han Chinese. Method 1:1 matched case control study was used to collect samples,and the patients were followed up. The genotypes distribution miR-499A > G were detected by TaqMan probe,and logistic regression model and Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to analysis the relationship between miR-499A>G and incidence and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Results 394 cases and 394 controls were recruited,while miR-499A>G did not increase the risk of colorectal cancer(OR=1.22,95%CI:0.95-1.57)under additive model analyzed by multi-logistic regression model. The means of survival time of AA,AG,GG carriers were 54.19 ± 2.02,44.16 ± 2.59,32.76 ± 5.36 months and there were significant differentia-tion between them in log Rank test(F=11.24,P=0.004). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that miR-499A > G was significant associated with adverse prognosis of colorectal cancer(HR=1.26,95%CI:1.02-1.57). Conclusion miR-499 A > G has no association with the incidence of colorectal cancer ,but it affects the prognosis of colorectal cancer in Han population.
