The expression of EBV-latent membrane protein 1 (EBV-LMP1) and bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry method (LSAB). The growth of NPC cells was identified by MTT method. Apoptotic carcinoma cells were detected by flow cytometry analysis and the terminal deoxynucletidyl transferase-medicated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) methods. RESULTS: EBV-LMP1 was positive in CNE1 infected by EBV(E-CNE1). Compared with CEN1, the growth of E-CNE1 apparently increased ( P

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in mammary tumors and to discuss the technique factors which influence the detection rate.Methods The 1H-MRS features of 47 mammary tumors, of which 24 malignant tumors and 23 benign tumors confirmed by pathology were analyzed. All of the tumors were detected before Gd-DTPA enhancement. Results Eleven of 24 malignant tumors showed increased choline resonance peak at 3.24 ppm while 4 of 23 benign ones at 3.24 ppm .The positive value were 45.8% and 17.4% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 45.8% and 82.6% respectively by using 1H-MRS to discriminate benign from malignant tumors. The main factors influencing the detection rate were low suppressed lipid, low suppressed water and low single-noise rate.Conclusion Choline is not special features of malignant tumors. Choline can be obtained despite the nature of tumor if they grow rapidly. The low sensitivity of choline to be detected mainly dues to technique factors.

Objective To study the changes of activities of phase Ⅰ and Ⅱ drug-metabolic enzymes in the spleen of rats with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome.Methods The rat model of spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome was established by gastric gavage of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei decoction combined with injection of hydrocortisone for 17 continuous days.And then we detected the activities of 6 kinds of phase Ⅰ drug-metabolic enzymes of CYP2C19,CYP2D6,CYP2C9,CYP1A2,CYP2C8,CYP3A4,and 4 kinds of phase Ⅱ drugmetabolic enzymes of phenol sulfotransferase (PST),uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1 (UGT1),glutathione transferase (GST),estrogen sulfotransferase (SULT1E1) in the spleen.Results Compared with the normal control group,the activities of PST,UGT1,GST and SULT1E1 in the model group were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01),and the activity of CYP1A2 was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01),while CYP2C19,CYP2D6,CYP2C8,CYP3A4,CYP2C9 enzymes showed no obvious changes(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The activities of splenic drug-metabolic enzymes,in particular the phase Ⅱ enzymes,are significantly varied under the state of spleen-kidney yang deficiency.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility, safety and clinical value of laparoscopic Rouxen-Y cystojejunostomy in the treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst. Method Four patients with pancreatic pseudocyst received totally laparoscopic pancreatic pseudocystojejunostomy. The data on intraoperative bleeding, operative time, postoperative time to get out of bed, time of first flatus/bowel motion, complication and duration of hospital stay were collected and analyzed retrospectively. ResultsAll operations were carried out successfully with laparoscopic surgery. The mean operative time was 90 min. The average intraoperative blood loss was 40 ml. The mean postoperative time to get out of bed was 1.5 d, and the mean time of first flatus/bowel motion was 2. 3 d. All patients recovered smoothly without any pancreatic fistula. The average hospital stay was 7 days. Fever, pancreatitis,adhesive intestinal obstruction and other complications did not occur. ConclusionsTotally laparoscopic Roux-en-Y pancreatic pseudocystojejunostomy was an efficacious, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.

ObjectiveTo investigate the methylation of the promoter region in miRNA in pancreatic cancer cell line PANC1 and normal pancreatic tissue,to discover the miRNA with hypermethylation associated with pancreatic cancer.MethodsThe genomic DNA of PANC1 and normal pancreatic tissue was extracted,and fractured by ultrasound.Methylation DNA fragments were obtained by 5-methyl of pyrimidine nucleoside antibodies and immunomagnetic beads.The hypermethylation miRNA differentially expressed between PANC1 and normal pancreatic tissue was selected by using methylation DNA chip.BSP ( bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR) and TA clone sequencing was performed for further validation.The genomic DNA of pancreatic cancer cell lines BXPC3,CFPAC1,PANC1 and SW1990 was extracted.The COBRA (combined bisulfite restriction analysis) was used to validate differentially expressed hypermethylation miRNA.ResultsEight differentially expressed hypermethylation miRNAs were screened from the DNA methylation chips,then five of them were selected for sequencing.The methylation status of miRNA-615,-663,-663b was significantly higher in the PANC1 than in normal tissues (60.6％ vs 7.6％,88.8％ vs 22.2％,94.4％ vs 13.0％ ) ; the methylation status of miRNA-675 was not significantly different between PANC1 and normal pancreatic tissue (76.0％ vs 100％ ).Due to large error in sequencing,miRNA1826 was excluded.The results of COBRA confirmed all the 4 miRNAs were highly methylated in PANC1 ; except for miRNA-675,other 3 miRNAs were highly methylated in BxPC,miRNA-663,miRNA-663b were highly methylated in CFPAC1,while miRNA-615,miRNA-663 were highly methylated in SW1990.ConclusionsHypermethylation miRNAs were differentially expressed between pancreatic cancer cell lines and normal pancreatic tissue,among them,highly methylated miRNA-663 was possibly associated with pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) on motor function and the expression of bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu) + and glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) + in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of rats with acute cerebral infarction,and to explore it's mechanism. Methods A rat model of cerebral infarction was established using Longa's technique for middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with an intraluminal filament.The rats were randomly divided into a FES group,a placebo stimulation group and a control group.In each group,rats were randomly allocated into 1 d,3 d,7 d and 14 d subgroups (6 rats/subgroup).Superficial electrodes were pasted on the paralyzed forelimbs of rats in the FES group for connecting with the FES instrument,and FES treatment was carried out with a current of 4-5 mA for 15 min on the third day after the MCAO operation to produce extension of the wrist and the digits of the paralyzed forelimb.The rats in the placebo stimulation group were pasted with electrodes,but no FES was administered and they received no other treatment.Neurological deficits were evaluated using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) before treatment and on the 1 st,3rd,7th,and 14th day after treatment. BrdU and GFAP positive cells in the SVZ were detected by immunofluorescence techniques.Results After 7 or 14 days the motor function of rats in the FES group had improved significantly compared with the placebo stimulation and control groups.Compared with the other two groups,the expression levels of BrdU+ and GFAP+ cells in the ischemic SVZ in the FES group were significantly higher at the 3rd,7th and 14th day.Conclusion FES can improve motor function after acute cerebral infarction and also promote the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in the SVZ.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of interventional MRI in radiofrequency ablation (RFA)of breast cancer.Methods 12 patients with breast carcinoma proven by core-needle biopsy-were enrolled in this study.Among them, 7 patients were in phase Ⅳ(6 with lung metastasis, 1 with bone metastasis),and 5 patients were in phase Ⅲ(all of them rejected the surgical operation because of various contraindications,including severe hypertension,diabetes mellitus,liver or kidney dysfunction,and advanced age).Moreover, all of the tumor size could not be further shrunk after medical treatment (such as 4-6 cycles chemotherapy, endocrine therapy or targeted therapy).Additionally,breast lesions were still remained to be confirmed by imaging examination and biopsy pathology.Then the tumor and surrounding breast tissue were ablated with radiofrequency,followed by clinical follow-up and imaging examination after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.Results All the patients completed 18 times RFA treatment.MRI showed that all the tumor lesions were necrotic, blood supply was disappeared and therewas no enhancement.Radiographic examination showed the original breast lesions were fuzzy or disappeared.All the tumors were achieved complete remission (CR) examined by imaging,and the effective rate was 100%.All the postoperative patients survived 1 year according to the follow-up data.Conclusion Interventional MRI is safe and effective method in the radiofrequency ablation of breast cancer.

Objective: To investigate the expression level of IL-32 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and its correlation with serum biochemical indices of liver function test and HBV DNA load in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with PEG IFN-α-2a treated. Methods: Thirty CHB patients with PEG IFN-α-2a treated (CHB group) and thirty normal health donors (health group) were enrolled in the study. Total RNA in PBMCs was extracted by using TRIzol. Than IL-32 mRNA level was assayed by using Real-time PCR. The correlation between IL-32 and ALT, AST, TBIL, HBV DNA load was analyzed using pearson′s correlation analysis, respectively. Results: IL-32 expression level in CHB group was significantly lower than that of health group. Moreover, the difference between them was statistically significant (P=0.000). IL-32 level was positively correlated with serum ALT and AST, respectively (P=0.035, P=0.032), but was not correlated with ALB and HBV DNA load (P=0.856, P=0.580). Conclusions IL-32 expression level was decreased in CHB patients with PEG IFN-α-2a Treated and was associated with the severity of inflammation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different solutions to prevent nasal intestinal blockage.Methods:Tottaly 199 cases of enteral nutrition treatment were selected from June 2018 to May 2019 and were randomly divided into three groups: warm boiled water group (67 cases), sugar-free cola group (67 cases), alpha-chymotrypsin group (65 cases). The rate of nasointestinal obstruction, the rate of nasointestinal obstruction, the rate of catheter patency maintenance, the rate of recanalization and the incidence of complications in three different enteral nutrition treatment cycles (< 7 days, 7-29 days, ≥ 30 days) were compared.Results:The catheter blockage rate in warm boiled water group was 20.9%(14/67) and in sugar-free cola group was 3.0%(2/67). The patency maintenance time in warm boiled water group was (8.83±1.84)days and in sugar-free cola group was (9.92±1.63) days ( t value was 2.182). The recanalization rate after blockage in warm boiled water group was 21.4%(3/14) and in sugar-free cola group was 100.0%( χ 2 value was 5.021, P < 0.05). The catheter blockage rate in sugar-free cola group was significantly lower than that in warm boiled water group, the catheter maintenance time and recanalization rate after blockage were significantly higher than that in warm boiled water group, the difference was significant ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between sugar-free cola group and alpha-chymotrypsin group in catheter blockage rate, catheter blockage rate, recanalization rate after blockage and incidence of complications( P > 0.05). The catheter blockage rate was 0 in patients with enteral nutrition treatment cycle < 7 days. The catheter blockage rate was 11.9%(8/67) (warm boiled water group) , 1.5%(8/67) (sugar-free cola group) and 1.5%(8/67) (alpha-chymotrypsin group) in patients with enteral nutrition treatment cycle 7-29 days. The catheter blockage rate was 9.0%(6/67) (warm boiled water group), 1.5%(1/65, sugar-free cola group) and 3.1%(2/67)(alpha-chymotrypsin group) in patients with enteral nutrition treatment cycle >30 days. The catheter blockage rate in sugar-free cola group and alpha-chymotrypsin group was significantly lower than that in warm boiled water group ( χ 2 values were 4.325-5.836, P<0.05) and there was no significant differences between the sugar-free cola group and the alpha-chymotrypsin group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Sugar-free cola and alpha-chymotrypsin can effectively reduce the incidence of catheter blockage and complications, prolong the catheter patency and improve the recanalization rate after blockage, especially for patients with enteral nutrition treatment cycle longer than one week.
