Objective To explore the incidence and pathologic feature of patients with thyroid carcinoma treated at the First Hospital of Jilin University. Methods From January 2000 to July 2010,clinicopathologic data of 1018 patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed. Results The cases of thyroid carcinoma between 2008 and 2010 were more than 73% higher than that in the preceding 8 years. Cancer cases from January 2009 to July 2010 were more1018 cases reviewed, 976 cases were clearly classified pathologically. Papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma were present in 897 (91.91%), 43(4. 41% ), 22(2. 25% ) and 6(0. 61% ) cases respectively. Of the 1018 cases reviewed,804 cases were recorded with or without lymphnode metastasis. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of male and female patient were 39. 24% and 28. 64% respectively and the difference was significant( χ2 = 6. 71 ,P ＜0. 05). The rate of lymphnode metastasis of age ＜45 years and age ≥45 years were 37.65% and 23. 26%respectively and the difference was significant ( χ2 = 19. 54, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions In the past ten and a half years, the number of the thyroid carcinoma patients treated in the First Hospital of Jilin University increased year by year. The increase of papillary thyroid carcinoma was the most obvious. Thyroid carcinoma was more common among females. The peak incidence age of males and females was 30 -59. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of males was larger than that of females. The rate of lymphnode metastasis of age ＜45years was larger than that of age≥45 years.

Objective In order to make a epileptic model in organotypic slice culture and to further investigate the epileptic pathology. Methods Immunohistochemistry, Fluoro-Jade B staining and BrdU labeling were carried out in the hippocampal slices with domoic acid treatment after 7 days of culture.Results Domoic acid could induce a series of pathological changes, such as, dispersion of granule cells(0.105±0.063) mm vs (0.057±0.012) mm, t = 4.8, P<0.01), neurogenesis in granular layer and cell loss of pyramidal cell and Mossy cell as well. Conclusions In hippocampal organotypic slices, domoic acid induced such pathological changes as human temporal lobe epilepsy and epileptic animal model. It is an ideal epileptic model for pathological, pharmacological and electronic physiological studies with great applicable prospect.

Objective In order to investigate the influence of reelin deficiency on the hippocampal development, the histochemical characteristics of hippocampal pyramidal cells and granule cells of reeler mice were analyzed, therefore, reelin's function would be better understood with more morphological evidences. Methods With immunofluorescent double labeling, the pyramidal cells, granule cells and mossy cells in hippocampi between wild type and reeler mice were labeled. Results The development and lamination of hippocampal cortical plate were in disorder. Pyramidal cells and granule cells dispersed, and moreover, granule cells proliferated rapidly and migrated into hilus, so that the bound between granule layer and hilus disappeared. Conclusion As a stop signal and regulatory signal, reelin plays important roles in neuronal migration of developing cortical plate, especially in the regulation of granule cell proliferation.

Objective To investigate the biological characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) and to discuss its surgical method.Methods 221 patients of PTC underwent total thyroidectomy and conventional central lymph node dissection from Jul.2009 to Feb.2011 in Department of Thyroid Surgery in the First Hospital of Jilin University.Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results There was no permanent iatrogenic injury of recurrent laryngeal nerve.Only one patient had permanent hypoparathyroidism.Postoperative pathological results showed that bilateral cancer was found in 69 cases(31.2％).Thyroid membrane invasion was found in 143 cases(64.7％),in which the invasion rate of bilateral cancer was 68.1％ (47/69).Central cervical lymph node metastasis was found in 95 cases(43％),in which central cervical lymph node metastasis rate of bilateral cancer was 46.4％ (32/69),central cervical lymph node metastasis rate of unilateral cancer was 41.5 ％ (63/152),central cervical lymph node metastasis rate of thyroid membrane invasion was 49.7％ (71/143).Thyroid membrane invasion or cervical lymph node metastasis rate in all cases was 75.6％ (167/221).There were 42 cases who were found with suspicious unilateral cancer before surgery but proved to have bilateral PTC by postoperative pathological diagnosis(60.9％).Conclusions Most PTC often occurs bilaterally and the ratio of central cervical lymph node metastasis is very high.We suggest that most patients with PTC should undergo total thyroidectomy,conventional central lymph node dissection,and combine with postoperative Ⅰ131 and hormonal treatment.

Aim To observe the effect and primary mechanism of arctigenin ( ARG) in C6 rat glioma. At the same time, to investigate the effect of ARG com-bined with temozolomide. Methods C6 glioma rat model was established, and 90 rats were divided into six groups, which were subcutaneously administered with model, low and high ARG (0. 05 and 0. 1 mg· kg-1 , sc) , temozolomide (20 mg·kg-1 , p. o. ) , low ARG combined with temozolomide(TMZ / ARG 0. 05) and high ARG combined with temozolomide ( TMZ /ARG 0. 1 ) . The tumor specimens of brain were col-lected after tumor graft. Proliferating cell nuclear anti-gen ( PCNA ) , glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP ) and CD40 in tumor specimens were determined by im-munohistochemistry. Results ① Compared with the model group, the tumor sizes of rats in the arctigenin treatment groups were decreased ( P<0. 05 ) . ②ARG
significantly decreased PCNA and CD40 expression ( P<0. 05 ) and increased GFAP expression ( P<0. 05 ) .③ Compared with model group, arctigenin combined with temozolomide decreased the tumor sizes ( P <0. 01 ) , and the tumor inhibition rate was higher than that of the arctigenin and temozolomide. At the same time, arctigenin combined with temozolomide de-creased PCNA and CD40 expression ( P <0. 01 ) and increased GFAP expression ( P <0. 05 ) , which was better than arctigenin and temozolomide. Conclusion Arctigenin inhibits rat glioma growth, and synergizes with temozolomide, which may be associated with in-hibiting PCNA and CD40 expression and strengthening GFAP expression.

Objective:To investigate the value of jugulo-omohyoid lymph nodes(JOHLN) for the prediction of lateral cervical lymph nodes metastasis behind internal jugular vein in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) and its clinical significance.Methods:The clinical data of 220 patients who underwent lateral neck dissection in our center were retrospectively analyzed, and the early warning effect and clinical significance of JOHLN on lymph node metastasis of the posterior internal jugular vein were analyzed.Results:In this study, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of JOHLN for predicting lymph node metastasis in the posterior group of internal jugular vein were 83.5%, 46.4%, 82.0%, 49.1%, and 74.1%, respectively. The accuracy rate for JOHLN prediction of upper tumor was 84.3%; In this study, side neck skip metastasis was found in 11 cases, all of which were JOHLN metastasis, upper tumors were found in 9 cases and 2 were located in the middle. Among the skip metastases, 6 cases had lymph node metastasis in the posterior group of internal jugular vein, and they were all upper tumors.Conclusions:JOHLN can effectively predict the risk of lateral neck metastasis. Especially for the upper PTC, preoperative evaluation of JOHLN can help decision-making of lateral neck lymph node dissection.
