Objective To evaluate the academic level and the popularity of Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army. Method According to the information of Chinese Medical Citation Index(CMCI), The amount and distribution of the original in Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army cited by the journal included by CMCI were analyzed. Result The citation rate of published articles was 36.54%, and the average of original articles cited by other researchers was 2.70. The distribution of the most frequently cited authors covered 24 provinces, with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong Province in the lead in research work relevant to military medicine. The published papers were cited by 451 journals, and self-citing rate was 0.20. Conclusion Original medical scientific articles of high quality have been published in the Medical Journal of Chinese People′s Liberation Army. It have become one of the most important information resource for the medical researchers in the army and one of the important medical journal in the country.

The first case of Hurthle cell tumor of the thyroid gland(HCT) was described in the literature a century ago. Since then, researches of HCT have been progressing from cellular to molecular level. We reviewed the literatures about HCT researching, with emphasis on differentiated diagnosis of benign and malignant HCT.

Objective To explore the correlations of expressions of gastric mucosa water channel aquaporin AQP3 and AQP4 and different gastritis types. Methods The gastric mucosa was mounted under gastroscope. The types of gastric mucosa pathology and activity were tested by the common pathohistology. The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 were determined by immunohistology. Results The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 of chronic superficial gastritis were significantly higher than those in the non-gastritis group and chronic atrophic gastritis group (P < 0.01), especially in the activity period of chronic superficial gastritis. The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 of chronic atrophic gastritis group were reduced when compared to those in the non-gastritis group, in spite of no statistical differences between them. While compared to the non-gastritis group , the expression of AQP3 of chronic atrophic gastritis group during the active stage was remarkably decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion The expressions of AQP3 and AQP4 of gastric mucosa in chronic gastritis in various pathological types are different. AQP3 and AQP4 may be the targeted point , which could be used for the differential diagnosis and treatment of chronic gastritis of different pathological types.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and radiological characteristics of jugular foramen tumors.METHODS The clinical data of 32 patients with tumors of jugular foramen region treated from May 2006 to December 2009 were retrospectively reviewed.All patients were referred to systematic imaging examination of the temporal bone,such as CT(X-ray computed tomography) and MRI(magnetic resonance).Twenty two patients were further examined by angiography and embo1ized 24 hours before operation.Thirty one patients underwent different operations via different approaches, while one patient with glomus jugular tumor didn't receive operation because of fever caused by sigmoid sinus thrombophlebitis.According to pathologic examination, 21 cases were glomus jugular tumors, 10 cranial nerve neurilemmomas.RESULTS In the 32 cases, the major initial clinical symptoms of jugular foramen tumors were tinnitus,hearing loss and facial palsy.Bone erosion and the "salt and pepper" sign were the characteristic appearance of glomus jugular tumor.Neurilemmoma showed compressive bone change, cystic area and moderate enhancement on CT.CONCLUSION The combination of CT and MRI examination is benefit for both diagnosis and the choice of surgical plan.

Objective To establish the quality standard of Naru-3 Cataplasm. Method The contents of Radix aconiti kusnezoffii were determined by UV-vis, and meaconitine was determined by HPLC. Results The linear range of meaconitine was 0.129 5～2.074 0 ?g. The quality standard of Naru-3 Cataplasm was established. Conclusion The method can be used for quality control of Naru-3 Cataplasm.

Objective To investigate the correlation between moderate hypoxia and maliglant transformation of colon carcinoma cell line HT-29.Methods Hypoxic conditions were produced according to p(O2)of tumor in vivo.The heterotypic adhesiveness of HT-29 cells was detected by MTT assay.Their reaction to the hypoxic environment was determined via invasion across a Matrigel-coated Transwell filter.At 0,6,12,24 and 48 h after hypoxia,MMP-2/9 activities were assessed by gelatin zymography,and osteopontin mRNA and protein levels by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.NF-?B/p65 levels in nucleus was measured by Western blot after extraction of nucleic protein.Results After 24-hour moderate hypoxia,the heterotypic adhesiveness and invasive capacity of HT-29 cells were significantly enchanced.MMP-2,MMP-9 activities under moderate hypoxia for 6 h showed no significant change as compared with that under normoxia,then gradually up-regulated and reached the peak at 24 h.They showed no significant difference between 24 h and 48 h after hypoxia.The expression trend of osteopontin mRNA,protein and NF-?B/p65 protein in nucleus was similar to that of MMP-2,MMP-9 under moderate hypoxia.Conclusion Moderate hypoxia could induce maliglant transformation in HT-29 cells through enhancing heterotypic adhesiveness and invasive capacity and upregulating MMP-2,MMP-9 activities.OPN-NF-?B may be an important regulatory pathway besides HIF-1 under hypoxic condition,which involves maliglant phenotype induced by moderate hypoxia.

urpose To investigate apoptosis in vitrectomy specimens of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Methods Vitrectomy specimens from 60 cases of different classes of proliferative vitreoretinopathy were studied by TdTmediated dUTP nick end labelling(TUNEL)method. Results The characteristic change of apoptosis was observed in all vitrectomy specimens.The amount of apoptotic nonpigmentary cell is gradually decreasing along with the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy,and apoptotic pigmentary cells are observed. Conclusion There are different kinds of apoptosis cell in vitrectomy specimens of proliferative vitreoretinopathy.It is suggested that apoptosis might be one of the important mechanisms of regulating the degree in proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Objective To analyze the therapy and prognosis of palindromic ovarian carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 40 cases of palindromic ovarian carcinoma were reviewed retrospectively. Results After the first surgery, the mean recurrent time of the patients with remained tumors smaller than 2 0 cm was (37 26?11 79) months, and that of the patients with remained tumors larger than 2 0 cm was (7 88?1 49) months. There was a significnat difference in the mean recurrent time between the two groups of the patients with different size of remained tumors(P0 05). Conclusion The recurrence of ovarian cancer was related to the size of remained tumor. Secondary operation plus chemotherapy could improve the short-term survival rate of the patients with palindromic ovarian carcinoma.
