Objective To investigate the effect of a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain(ADAM8)gene on colon cancer HCT8 cell proliferation and proliferation signal transduction pathways PI3K-Akt-mTOR. Methods Colon cancer HCT8 cells were cultured in vitro,and transfected with ADAM8 overexpression plasmid and RNA interfering plasmid. Cell proliferation were detected by EdU and MTS method assays. PI3K activity was measured by PI3K activity detection kit,Western Blot method was performed to detect the ratio of Akt and p-Akt and expression of mTOR. Results Compared with control group(1.00 ±0.12),the cell proliferation in ADAM8 overexpression group(1.22 ±0.13)was significantly higher (P<0.05)and in RNA interfering group(0.78 ±0.11)was significantly lower while PI3K activity had no significant changes in three groups. After ADAM8 overexpression,and the ratio of p-Akt/Akt and mTOR expression were increased significantly,while reduced significantly after RNA interferered. Conclusion ADAM8 can promote HCT8 cell proliferation through enhancing the phosphorylation of Akt and promoting the expression of mTOR.

Objective To explore the early-term efficacy of the reconstruction ot acetabular bone loss with porous tantalum acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty.Methods Twenty-one patients (21 hips) were included in this study,which had an acetabular replacement with tantalum acetabular components from August 2009 to April 2012.There were 6 males and 15 females,with the mean age of 55.7±16.2 years (range from 24 years to 78 years).The primary total hip arthroplasty in 5 cases,the revision in 16 cases.The acetabular bone defects were classified as Paprosky classification,which included,type Ⅰ in 9 cases,type Ⅱain 4,type Ⅱb in 5,type Ⅱcin 1,type Ⅲa in 1 and type Ⅲb in 1 case.Results The mean follow-up time was 20.1 months (range,6-40 months).In Paprosky Ⅰ,the Harris hip score was 87.2±7.4 postoperatively,which was significant higher than the preoperative score 41.1±6.3.In Paprosky Ⅱ,the Harris hip postoperative score (79.8±11.8) was significant higher than the preoperative score (38.4±12.5).In Paprosky Ⅲ,the Harris hip postoperative score (79) was significant higher than the preoperative score (24).21 Tantalum components were well fixed by the radiograph imaging.No cases suffered aseptic loosening and migration.Bone ingrowths was obviously performed in 21 hips.But 2 hips had a radiolucent line,1 case occurred in zone 3 and the line was filled 4 months later,the other case still existed at last follow-up without any more widen.No infections or mechanical failures.The survivorship of the tantalum acetabular components was 100％.Conclusion Our short-term results suggest this implants may enhance biological fixation in acetabular defect cases.Porous tantalum cup appears to be an ideal material to facilitate biologic ingrowths in these cases.Long-term follow-up still needs to be confirmed.

Objective To evaluate the possible causes of misdiagnosis of minimal breast carcinoma (MBC). Meth-ods The possible causes of misdiagnosis of 90 cases of MBC confirmed by pathology were retrospective analyzed. Accord-ing to the maximum diameter of the lesion, 90 cases were divided into 0.5-1.0 cm group (n=55) and≤0.5 cm group (n=35). And these two groups were subdivided into correct and misdiagnosed groups. The two-dimensional ultrasound findings were observed by using SIEMENZ S2000, GE vivid7 and GE vivid9 color Doppler ultrasound instruments, and reasons of misdiag-nosis were analyzed. Results There were 32 cases were misdiagnosed in 90 patients with MBC. There was significant differ-ence in boundary of misdiagnosis between diameter 0.5-1.0 cm group and≤0.5 cm group. There were significant differences in boundary and calcification between misdiagnosed group and correct group in diameter 0.5-1.0 cm group (P<0.05). There were also significant differences in A/T ratio and accompanying by multiple benign nodules between misdiagnosed group and correct group in diameter≤0.5 cm group (P<0.05). Conclusion The misdiagnosis in MBC is because of different lesion sizes. The misdiagnosis happens in the maximum diameter of the lesions between 0.5-1.0 cm that showed manifestation of sharp edges, no micro-calcification in sonographic features of benign. The misdiagnosis happens in maximum diameter of le-sions≤0.5 cm that manifested as the aspect A/T ratio<1 and characterized by multiple nodules.

Objective:To study the diagnostic value of MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and CT and MR perfusion imaging in patients with different degrees of liver cirrhosis.Methods:A total of 60 patients with liver cirrhosis,who were treated in Ziyang Hospital of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from August 2015 to February 2017 were selected.According to the Child-Pugh classification,32 cases of grade A were mild cirrhosis (denoted as group A),16 cases of grade B and 12 cases of grade C were moderate to severe cirrhosis (denoted as group B),30 healthy volunteers were selected as group C in the same period.All the subjects in the three groups were examined by DWI,CT and MR perfusion imaging.The ADC value,hepatic portal perfusion ratio [SSr (CT) and SSr (MR)] were compared among the three groups,and Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the indexes.Results:There was no significant difference in ADC values among the three groups (P＞0.05),and the ADC values of group A and B were lower than those of group C,but the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in ADC values between group A and B (P＞0.05).The levels of SSr (CT) and SSr (MR) in the three groups were compared,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);the levels of SSr (CT) and SSr (MR) in group B were significantly higher than those in group A and C,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the levels of SSr (CT) and SSr (MR) in group A and C (P＞0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that SSr (CT) was positively correlated with SSr (MR) in the patients with liver cirrhosis (r=0.687,P=0.000).Conclusion:CT and MR perfusion imaging can reflect the lesion degree of liver cirrhosis,and diagnostic effects of the two are better than DWI imaging,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To explore the changes of plasma somatostatin(SST) in children with septic shock.Methods The level of plasma SST in children with septic shock (test group,n=21) on an empty stomach at shock stage,blood pressure and heart rate recovery stage,recovery stage(at that time clinical symptoms and signs disappeared,infection indicators such as blood routine and CRP returned to normal,about 6-12 days after admission) were detected by competive radioimmunassay,the level of SST in healthy children(healthy control group,n=25) on an empty stomach on morning was detected,too.The levels of plasma SST between septic shock concbined with paralytic ileus group and without paralytic ileus group were compared.Results 1.Level of plasma SST of test group at shock stage[(44.60?16.83) ng/L]was significantly lower than that of control group[(123.15?6.57) ng/L](t=-12.16 P0.05).The level of plasma SST of children with paralytic ileus [(28.10?7.0) ng/L] was significantly lower than that of children without paralytic ileus [(56.98?9.44) ng/L](t=-7.70 P

ObjectiveTo study the expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) protein in villi and decidua of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA). MethodsThe local and quantitative expressions of IL-8 in villi and decidua of 30 RSA patients were shown and measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results IL-8 protein immunohistochemical signals were located in the chorioepithelium cytoplasm and decidual cells plasma in RSA group. While in control group the immunohistochemical staining was negative in decidul cells, but positive in glandular epithelium. The quantitative analysis of IL-8 protein by Western blotting, intensity of the immunostaining was higher in RSA group than that in the control group. Conclusion The higher expression of IL-8 in villi and decidua is releated to RSA, IL-8 might take part in the pathologic process of RSA.
