Objective To investigate the changes of the serum level of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)in patients with cerebrovascular disease and its clinical significance. Methods The serum level of hs-CRP in 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction and 60 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage and 40 healthy persons were determined.All the patients were scored by clinic neurological deficit scale(NDS),and were compared in groups. Results The serum level of hs-CRP in patients with acute cerebral infarction and with acute cerebral hemorrhage were significantly higher than that in normal controls(t=19.712 13.217 P <0.01).There was no obvious difference between the patients with acute cerebral infarction and with acute cerebral hemorrhage. Conclusion The serum level of hs-CRP was closely correlated with the severity of cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To discuss the application of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of esophageal leiomyoma. Methods Clinical data of 26 patients with esophageal leiomyoma from September 1996 to October 2002 treated by minimally invasive surgery were reviewed retrospectively. Results Video-assisted thoracoscopic leiomyoma enucleations were performed in 23 patients, and a conversion to mini-thoracotomy was required in 3 of them because of dense pleural adhesion (2 patients) or location failure of tumor (1 patient). The remaining 3 patients underwent transjugular leiomyoma enucleation (2 patients) or esophagoscopic resection of leiomyoma (1 patient), respectively. All the procedures were completed smoothly and the postoperative recovery was uneventful, without mortality or severe complications. All the patients were pathologically diagnosed as leiomyoma after surgery. Follow-up for 2 ～ 73 months (mean,32.3months) found no recurrence. Conclusions Video-assisted thoracoscopic enucleation can be the first choice for the esophageal leiomyomas that derived from lamina propria, while esophagoscopic removal may be considered for those from muscularis mucosa.

Methods A retrospective review of 34 patients with solid hemangioblastoma in the posterior fossa was conducted including the clinical manifestations,diagnostic modalities and microsurgical outcomes. Results Total tumor removal was achieved in 29 cases,subtotal removal of tumor in 5 cases. Neurological function improved in 24 cases postoperatively,deteriorated in 6 cases,died 4 cases because of brain stem ischemia or edema. Conclusion it is an effective and importent method by using the microsurgical technique to removal solid hemangioblastoma in posterior fossa

Objective To describe the prevalence and distribution of anxiety disorders among people aged 18～65 yrs in Liaoning Province. Methods 15 518 subjects in 7 200 families aged 18～65 yrs were randomly selected from 3 cities and 3 counties by multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling.They were assessed for DSMⅢ-R diagnoses by face to face interview with Composite International Diagnostic Interview(CIDI-1.0). Results There were 13 359 subjects had finished the survey,and the response rate was 86.09%.The 2-week,12-month and lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders were 2.22%,4.60% and 7.21% regulated by Liaoning provincial population in 2000,and1.91%,3.97%and6.32% regulated by countrywide population in 2000.The major disorders were specific phobia and agoraphobia,and their lifetime prevalence were 3.80% and 3.04%,respectively.The people with higher prevalence were females,aged 25~55,with lower educational and economic level. Conclusion Anxiety disorders become a serious public health problem in Liaoning province.Prevention measures should be taken among people with high risk.

Objective To explore the relationship between KISS-1 gene and metastasis of bladder carcinoma,and to study the effect of the stable expression of KISS-1 gene on the invasion of bladder carcinoma cell line T24.Methods Fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of KISS-1 mRNA in primary bladder carcinoma without metastasis and primary bladder carcinoma with metastasis.Recombinant vector pIRES2-AKS-1 was constructed and transfected into T24 cells.Single clone of stably transfected cells was screened,and the changes in the invasive ability of T24 cells was detected after transfection.Results The expression level of KISS-1 mRNA in primary bladder carcinoma with metastasis was significantly lower than that in primary bladder carcinoma without metastasis(P＜0.05).The expression of KISS-1 protein in the single clone of stably transfected cells increased significantly,and the invasive ability significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion KISS-1 gene is correlated with the metastasis of bladder carcinoma,and the up-regulated expression of KISS-1 gene can inhibite the invasiveness of T24 cell line.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of severe pneumonia in children , to explore the significance of neutrophil elastase detection. Methods Patients were divided to severe pneumonia group and non-severe pneumonia group Fever, cough, lung wet rale duration and image changes were statistically analyzed. The percentage of abnormal lymphocyte in peripheral blood was counted by Wright's dyeing method. The neutrophil elastase expression in peripheral blood was determinated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent analysis. Results In severe pneumonia group,atelectasis occurred in 5 cases,8 cases complicated with heart failure, 8 cases complicated with respiratory failure and 4 cases were complicated with toxic encephalopathy. In severe pneumonia group , fever time was 13.5±5.1 days, cough time was 15.1±3.2 days, the time of lung wet rale duration was 12.2±2.3 days, which were significantly longer than that of non-severe pneumonia group (t = 2.346,2.457,2.346,P < 0.05);In severe pneumonia group , pathogens included streptococcus pneumoniae , respiratory syncytial virus and adenovirus , etc.In severe pneumonia group,the percentage of abnormal lymphocyte in peripheral blood smear increased with virus infection (8.1±1.2)%. In 12 cases of severe pneumonia,the expressions of neutrophil elastase were 127.6± 12.5 ng/ml, more than that of non-severe pneumonia group (75.4 ± 6.4 ng/ml,t=3.047, P<0.05). Conclusion Severe pneumonia is a serious diseases impacting children health. Detection of neutrophil elastase shows a markedly clinical value to judge the severity of pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the correlation of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism and serum tamoxifen (TAM) and its active metabolites (4-hydroxy tamoxifen,4-OH-TAM) in terms of prognosis of breast cancer patients.Methods The oral mucosas and serum were obtained from 200 breast cancer patients receiving oral TAM from Jan 2008 to Oct 2010.Real-time RT-PCR was used to determine CYP2D6* 10 gene polymorphism.The relationship between CYP2D6* 10 gene polymorphism and clinicopathological features and prognosis was assessed by Chi-square test and Cox proportional model.Serum TAM and 4-OH-TAM concentration were determined by liquid chromatography-trap mass spectrometry (LC-MS).Results Of 200 breast cancer patients,CYP2D6 * 10/* 10 homozygotes were found in 94 cases (47％),CYP2D6 wt/wt wild type in 48 cases (24％) and CYP2D6 wt/* 10 heterozygote in 58 cases (29％).The concentration of serum 4-OH-TAM in patients with CYP2D6 wt/wt wild type and wt/* 10 heterozygote was significantly higher than that in patients with CYP2D6 * 10/ * 10 homozygote (F =4.31,P =0.01).CYP2D6 gene polymorphism was not related to clinicopathological features (P ＞ 0.05).Logrank test showed that patient's disease-free survival with mutational CYP2D6 (mean,47.2 months) was significantly shorter than that in patients without mutational CYP2D6 (mean,51.2 months) (P =0.018).Cox proportional model showed that CYP2D6 genotype was related to disease-free survival (HR =2.755,95％CI:1.230 ～6.173,P =0.014).Conclusions CYP2D6 *10/* 10 genotype is related to curative effect of TAM on breast cancer patients,detection of CYP2D6 * 10/* 10 genotype helps improve the choice of TAM therapy.
