Purpose To investigate the pathomorphological and immunohistochemical features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods Light microscopy was used to study the morphologic characteristics of 77 cases of GIST. The expression of c-kit(CD117), CD34, vimentin, SMA and S-100 protein were detected in all cases with S-P immunohistochemical method. Results GIST tended to have a higher degree of cellularity and lesser degree of cytoplasmic eosinophilia than observed in classic leiomyomas. The neoplastic cells of GIST were spindle, epithelioid or both in different proportion. Focal to prominent cytoplasmic vacuolization was often seen. The histological spectrum included interlacing fascicles, diffuse sheets, storiform and palisading pattern. The formation of cell clusters was rather special. Stromal and vascular hyalinization was common. GIST primary in the mesentery tended to have a higher potentiality of malignancy. The positivity of CD117 and CD34 were 90%, 92%, respectively. Conclusion The characteristic histological features exist in GIST. The detection of CD117 and CD34 is helpful to differential diagnosis.

AIM: To comparatively analyze the pain related factors levels and therapeutic response in patients treated with ~(99)Tc-MDP and ~(153)Sm-EDTMP for painful skeletal metastases. METHODS: Plasma endothelin (ET), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), thromboxane B_2 (TXB_2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F_ 1? (6-k-PGF_ 1? ) levels were analyzed in 93 patients with painful skeletal metastases prior and 3 months after treatment. 55 cases were just treated with 153 Sm-EDTMP (group A); 19 cases were treated only with 99 Tc-MDP (group B); and 19 cases were treated with both 153 Sm-EDTMP and 99 Tc -MDP (group C). RESULTS: 69.1 %, 73.7 % and 89.5 % of the patients were experienced pain relief 3 months after treatment in groups A, B and C, respectively. Comparative analysis shows that: ET and 6-k-PGF_ 1? levels increased significantly 3 months after treatment in all patients (P

Objective To study the relationship between the DNA content of chondrocytes in the costal cartilage and postmortem interval in putrefactive rat cadavers.Methods Nuclear DNA wag visualized by modified Feulgen's staining method.DNA content of ehondrocytes in the costal cartilage was semi-quantita tively determined by a computerized image analysis system in rats within 35d postmortem.Results Staining intensity of the nuclei was gradually reduced within from 1d to 28d postmortem.The nuclej could not be detected at 35d.The DNA content of chondrocytes decreased time-dependently within 28 days after death as determined semi-quantitatively,which revealed a linear relationship between DNA content and postmortem interval.Conclusion DNA content of chondrocytes in the costal cartilage reduces time-dependently with the extension of postmortem interval.

[Objective] To study the correlation between kidney cell DNA degradation and postmortem interval within the span of 6-48 hour after the subject rats′ death.[Methods] To select 18 healthy mature female SD rats and equally divide them into 6 groups.To execute the rats with cervical spine articulation and put the rats under the incubator temperature of 25.1℃ (the average temperature of the 5 previous Decembers in Guangzhou prefecture).Sample kidney tissue from the rat separately 0 hour,6 hours,12 hours,24 hours,36 hours,48 hours,and 60 hours after the rats′ execution to prepare monoplast suspension,which is committed to comet assay.The comet images were captured by fluorescence CCD.Kinetic Comet 4.0 software was used to analyze images.Relevant data were collected by kinetic Comet 4.0 software and were subjected to Kruskal-Wallis test.[Results] Within the postmortem interval of 6-48 h,the number of SD rat kidney cell DNA fragments increased as the postmortem interval lengthens.So did the comet tail length.The Oliver tail moment and tail DNA of comet also showed sign of increase in positive proportion to the postmortem interval (their values corresponding to 60-hour-postmortem-interval were not obtainable.Kruskal-Wallis test indicated:the discrepancies of TL among the 6 groups were all significant (P < 0.01).The difference of TM between 6 h group and 12 h group was not significant (P > 0.05).The difference of TM between 24 h and 36 h was significant (P < 0.05).The difference of TDNA among 6 h,12 h,and 36 h groups were not significant (P > 0.05).The difference of TDNA between 36 h and 48 h was significant (P < 0.05).[Conclusion] Degradation of nuclear DNA of the rat kidney cells increases as the postmortem interval lengthens and comet assay may provide important empirical evidence for determining the postmortem interval.

AIM: To evaluate the antagonistic effect of anti - digoxin antiserum on hypoxic myocardium and its mechanism. METHODS: It was observed that different concentration of anti-digoxin antiserum effect on endoxin and cell membrane ATPase activity in hypoxic myocardium model. RESULTS: The endoxin level was much higher, cell membrane ATPase activity was much lower in hypoxic myocedium than those of noed; anti-digoxin antiserum can resume membrane ATPase activity. CONCLUSION: Rise of endoxin was basic in molecular biology of myocar- dial damage during myocardial hypoxia. Anti - digoxin antiserum decreased myocardial damge and has protective ef- fect on hypoxic myocardium by antagonistic effeCt of endoxin.

In 2013 Shanghai took the lead to carry out the specialist standardized training which is common in the international medical education. This paper first gives a picture of the general condition of the standardized training on specialists of obstetrics and gynecology in Shanghai. Then from the perspectives of strategic deployment, department management, clinical skill training and the training of examiners, the paper explores the assessment model in which both the assessment of train-ing process and the scores of the final examination are considered whereas the process assessment is given more weight. This paper is aimed to provide experience and suggestions for the further advance of the specialists standardized training in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

AIM: To observe the early changes of local cerebral blood supply in dogs during the acute vertebral artery stenosis by 99 TcmECD cerebral blood flow perfusion imaging(CBFPI).METHODS: Twenty-four dogs were randomized into groups of normal controls(A),moderate stenosis(B),severe stenosis(C) and arterial occlusion(D),with 6 in each group.Group A were free from any intervention,but Group B,C and D were undergone ligation of the right vertebral arteries by the extent of 50%~69%(Group B),70%~99%(Group C) or 100%(Group D).The imaging agents were injected intravenously 0.5-1 h after ligation and the single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) was performed after 1 h.RESULTS: CBFPI examination of the early changes of cerebral blood supply during the acute vertebral artery stenosis by visualization showed that the sensitivity was 33.3%,83.3% and 100% in Group B,C and D,respectively,with an average sensitivity of 72.2%,while semi-quantitative assessment suggested that the sensitivity was 50%,100% and 100% in the three groups,respectively,with an average sensitivity of 83.3%.When examining the activity ratio for regions of interest(ROI) by semi-quantitative 99 Tcm-ECD CBFPI,the findings suggested that Group D and C decreased significantly(exception in cerebellum in Group C),but Group B had no evident changes,as compared with Group A.By comparison of the groups of B-C,B-D and C-D,differences were observed in the right temporal lobes,whereas the changes in left temporal lobes were seen in Group B-C or B-D.The changes were seen in occipital lobes when groups of B and D were compared,but with no differences in cerebellum.CONCLUSION: The degree of stenosis in vertebral arteries may involve varied regions,the temporal lobe is susceptive,followed by occipital lobe,while cerebellum is somewhat resistant from the involvement.
