Objective To investigate the correlation of cyclophilin A (CyPA) level in patients with essential hyperten?sion(EH)in Xinjiang Xibo and Mongolia populations and to investigate its clinical significance. Methods EH patients (n=76) and healthy control subjects (n=62) were selected from Xinjiang Xibo populations. On the other hand, EH patients (n=66)and healthy control subjects (n=57) were selected from Xinjiang Mongolia populations. Serum cyclophilin A was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Parameters such as age, body mass index(BMI), waist, waist hip ratio, blood pressure were measured in each group. The correlation of cyclophilin A with each parameter was analyzed. Results The levels of serum cyclophilin A in EH patients in Xinjiang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations were significantly high?er than those in their corresponding healthy control groups(P<0.05). Serum cyclophilin A in patients with essential hyperten?sion(EH)in Xinjiang Mongolia population was signifantly higher than that in EH patients from Xinjiang Xibo population (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between serum cyclophilin A level and occurance of EH in both Xinjiang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations. Conclusion The serum cyclophilin A is significant higher in EH patients in both Xinji?ang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations so it is positively correlated with occurance of EH (P<0.05). Cyclophilin A lev?el is a risk factor of essential hypertension in both Xinjiang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations.

Objective To explore the prognostic significance of p53 mutation protein in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma for the purpose of individualized therapy. Methods Newly diagnosed 62 cases were randomly chosen from our hospital, p53 mutation protein and CD10, bcl-6, MUM1 were tested by immunohistochemistry. Correlation of p53 mutation protein with patients ' characteristics, genotype and survival were analysed in the study. Results p53 mutation protein was found in 48.4 % (30/62) of patients.Its expression was only related to initial treatment response (x2 =20.365, P =0.040), including complete remission rate of 33.3 % (10/30) in positive group and 59.4 % (19/32) in negative group, and non-germinal center genotype (x2=31.023, P =0.021) with 83.3 % in positive group and 56.2 % in negative group. No other correlation was not verified with clinical features. Multivariate survival analysis showed that p53 mutation protein was an independent predictor for shorter progress-free and overall survival in positive group (x2 =30.784, P =0.005 and x2 =35.276, P =0.006). Conclusion p53 mutation protein should be an independent predictor with poor prognosis and to direct personalized therapy.

Objective To investigate the method for effective establishment of nude rat tumor xenograft model of human lung cancer cells A549 in order to provide the experimental basis for tumor-related interventional research in vivo. Methods A549 cell lines were subcutaneously transplanted in nude rats, then single-cell suspension or tumor tissue block were prepared when the tumor lesion was established. The single-cell suspension and tumor tissue block were transplanted into subcutaneous tissue behind ear in rats. The tumor formation rate, growth situation and cell cycle of primary xenograft tumor group, the secondary single-cell suspension group and the secondary tumor block group were evaluated. The results were analyzed. Results The tumor formation rate of the secondary tumor block group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups. The tumor cells quickly proliferated with less tumor variation. Tumor cell cycle analysis indicated that G2/M ratio of the secondary tumor block group was remarkably higher than that of the other two groups. Conclusion Transplantation with tumor tissue block can significantly increase the tumor formation rate of human lung cancer cells A549 in experimental rats. This technique is an effective method for the establishment of nude rat tumor xenograft model.

Objective:To explore a method of constructing universal 3-dimensional (3D)colorized digital dental model which can be displayed and edited in common 3 D software (such as Geomagic se-ries),in order to improve the visual effect of digital dental model in 3D software.Methods:The mor-phological data of teeth and gingivae were obtained by intra-oral scanning system (3Shape TRIOS),con-structing 3D digital dental models.The 3D digital dental models were exported as STL files.Meanwhile, referring to the accredited photography guide of American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD),five selected digital photographs of patients’teeth and gingivae were taken by digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR) with the same exposure parameters (except occlusal views ) to capture the color data.In Geomagic Studio 201 3,after STL file of 3D digital dental model being imported,digital photographs were projected on 3D digital dental model with corresponding position and angle.The junctions of different photos were carefully trimmed to get continuous and natural color transitions.Then the 3 D colorized digital dental model was constructed,which was exported as OBJ file or WRP file which was a special file for software of Geomagic series.For the purpose of evaluating the visual effect of the 3 D colorized digital model,a rating scale on color simulation effect in views of patients’evaluation was used.Sixteen patients were recruited and their scores on colored and non-colored digital dental models were recorded.The data were analyzed using McNemar-Bowker test in SPSS 20.Results:Universal 3D colorized digital dental model with better color simulation was constructed based on intra-oral scanning and digital photography. For clinical application,the 3D colorized digital dental models,combined with 3D face images,were in-troduced into 3D smile design of aesthetic rehabilitation,which could improve the patients’cognition for the esthetic digital design and virtual prosthetic effect.Conclusion:Universal 3 D colorized digital dental model with better color simulation can be constructed assisted by 3 D dental scanning system and digital photography.In clinical practice,the communication between dentist and patients could be improved as-sisted by the better visual perception since the colorized 3 D digital dental models with better color simula-tion effect.

Objective To study the correlation between the level of CaMKIV and essential hypertension (EH) in Shihezi community. Methods One hundred and forty-six patients with EH and 142 with normal blood pressure are enrolled from 15 communities in shihezi. We collected the clinical data, including blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, blood lipids. The serum level of CaMKIV was detected using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum level of CaMKIV in the EH group was significantly lower than that in the normal blood pressure group (P < 0.05). The serum CaMKIV was negatively correlated with systolic BP and diastolic BP (r = -0.304, -0.452, all P < 0.05), with more obvious correlation with patients whose diastolic blood pressure was over 100 mmHg (r = -0.571, P < 0.05). Conclusions The serum level of CaMKIV is negatively correlated with EH, which is an independent factor of EH.
