Objectives To study the clinical significance of the early diagnosis on colorectal cancer and the value of monitoring precancerous lesions of p53 gene examination. Methods Histological specimens of tumor from 110 patients with colorectal neoplasms were collected under the endoscopy, another 10 normal intestinal mucosa tissues with benign enteropathy as a control group. By PCR-SSCP methods, examined p53 exon 5~8 of mutation circumstance, made pathological section at the same time, and combine to track the observation. Results 24 patients p53 gene mutation were detected out in 78 cases colorectal cancers,counted up 32 4%, among 17 patients were moderate,low differentiation, 3 patients of them were mucinous adenocarcinoma.There are 6 patients p53 gene mutation in 36 cases colorectal adenoma,counted up 16 7%, among them an patient of Ⅱ~Ⅲ class atypical hyperplasia adenoma occurrence canceration in the next 10 months.There was no p53 gene mutation in normal intestinal mucosa tissue.Conclusions p53 gene examination combinated with pathological examination could monitor precancerous lesions and early diagnosis of the colorectal cancer.

Objective To study the effects of glutamine (Gln) combined with growth hormone (GH) on the levels of cytokine (TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6), coritsol and amino acid metabolism in septic rats. Methods Ten out of 79 SD rats were randomly collected as the control group. Thirty of 69 septic SD rats, which were made by cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) method and were given parenteral nutrition (PN) lived to day 6. They were also randomly divided into three groups as follows: septic group (n=10), parenteral supplemented glutamine group (Gln group, n=10), and Gln combined with GH (Gln+GH group, n=10). On the 6th day, blood drew from portal veins of the dead rats was used to detect the levels of TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6 and cortisol by ELISA. The plasma concentrations of free amino acids were determined by amino acid auto-analyzer. The muscle tissue of extensor digitorum longus was used to determine 3-methyl-histidine (3-MH) by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC). Results Except for the control group, most rats developed celiac abscess, hepatic abscess and pulmonary infection. The serum levels of TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6 and cortisol were significantly higher in the septic group than those of the other three groups, and they were significantly lower in the Gln+GH group than those of the Gln group, P

Objective To learn the control status of iodine deficiency disorders in Baoji City of Shaanxi Province.Methods From 2009 to 2011,according to the National Iodized Salt Monitoring Program,the iodized salt was monitored,and thyroid was examined in 12 counties(areas) of Baoji City.According to rural and urban area stratification,60 children aged 8 to 10 were selected in each county(district),and their urine samples were collected for determination of iodine content.In 2011,per capita daily salt intake was surveyed by the three weighing method at children's home whose urine was collected.Chencang Area,Fufeng County and Taibai County,representatives of Baoji City different geomorphic features were selected for investigation of water iodine,and urinary iodine of pregnant and lactating women,and 15 people were selected in each county (district).Results From 2009-2011,in the 12 counties(areas) in Baoji City,the coverage rate of iodized salt was all 100.00%(3468/3468); the qualified rate of iodized salt and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt were all > 99.00%.Children's goiter rate was 3.41%(87/2548),3.06%(77/2520) and 3.33%(84/2520),and they were all less than that of the national standard (< 5%).Medians of urinary iodine of 8-10 years old children were 368.20,293.80 and 332.50 μg/L,respectively,and the ratios of urine iodine ≥300 μg/L were accounted for 66.42% (797/1200),48.05%(692/1440) and 56.67%(816/1440),respectively.Median urinary iodine of pregnant women was 301.81 μg/L and lactating women was 329.79 μg/L.A total of 1116 households were investigated,the median of per capita daily salt intake was 8.9 g.Eighteen water samples were collected,range of water iodine value were 0.60-10.25 μg/L.Conclusions Iodine nutrition in general population of Baoji City is exceeded the optimum level,and the current iodized salt concentration has some down space,but fully consideration should be taken on iodine needs in different iodine deficiency areas and among different groups of people.

AIM To observe the effects of Wuwei Wentong Chubi Capsules (Cinnamomi Ramulus,Poria,Epimedii Folium,etc.) on autophagy proteins of Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ in adjuvant-induced arthritis rats and to explore the possible mechanism of action.METHODS Sixty SD rats were randomized into six groups:normal group,model group,Wuwei Wentong Chubi Capsules (0.8,1.6,3.2 g/kg) groups and tripterygium glycosides (TPT,40 mg/kg) group.In addition to the normal group,adjuvant arthritis (AA) was induced with Freund's complete adjuvant.From the 2th day after injection of FCA,Wuwei Wentong Chubi Capsules with different doses and TPT were given by gavage once a day for 12 days.At the end of the experiment,ankle-joint samples were taken to examine the degree of AA by HE.Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ mRNA were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.Meanwhile,the protein expression levels of Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ were determined by immunofluorescence histochemical staining and Western blot.RESULTS As compared with the model group,Wuwei Wentong Chubi Capsules (1.60,3.20 g/kg) not only significantly reduced histopathological injuries,but also effectively up-regulated mRNA and protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ.CONCLUSION Wuwei Wentong Chubi Capsules has a therapeutic action on AA in rats,which might be partly associated with promoting autophagy,decreasing excessive proliferation of synovial cells,leading to the reduction of damage to articular cartilage.

Objective:To investigate the cardiovascular protection effect of cilazapril in hemodialystic patients|(HD). Methods:Thirty HD with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy patients were randomly divided into two groups.Group A(n=20) cilazapril 2.5 mg~5 mg,group B(n=10) as control. After six mouths,the left ventricular mass and function were monitored by color Doppler cardiography. Results:BP was decreased in both group.LVDd,IVS,LVPWD and LVMI were decreased in cilazapril group. Conclusion:Cilazapril is not only effective and safe in treatment of hypertension,reversed the ventricular hypertrophy and improved the diastolic function in HD patients also.

Objective To investigate the expressions of lung cancer related genes and miRNA in peripheral blood of the residents surrounding the extremely high radon hot springs in Ruoergai County,Sichuan Province. Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from the local residents.Expressions of lung cancer related genes (p53,k-ras) and miRNA (let-7a,miR-34a/b) were detected by real-time PCR and the protein expressions of p53 and k-ras were detected by Western blot.Results The expressions of p53 and k-ras mRNA of the residents in high radon area were 0.97 and 1.33 times of the control respectively (t =0.13,-1.12,P >0.05),and the p53 and k-ras protein levels were 0.70 and 1.23 times of the control respectively (t =0.72,0.46,P > 0.05).The let-7a of the residents in high radon area was lower (t =1.63,P > 0.05 ) while the miR-34a and miR-34b were significantly higher than those of the controls (t =- 3.20,- 3.32,P < 0.05).Conclusions Based on the expressions of p53 and k-ras gene and miRNA,it can be concluded that the residents surrounding the high radon hot springs received radiation damage.
