Objective To investigate the clinical significance of heat shock protein 27(HSP-27) and glypican-3(GPC-3) in diag-nosing primary hepatic cancer (PHC) and the clinicopathologic characteristics by detecting their expression in PHC .Methods Im-munohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of HSP-27 and GPC-3 in 32 cases of PHC tissue ,30 cases of live cirrhosis tissue ,25 cases of benign liver occupying tissue and 31 cases of hepatitis tissue .The relationship between their expression and the clinicopathologic features of PHC was analyzed .Results HSP-27 and GPC-3 were highly expressed in the PHC tissues ,the differ-ence had statistical significance compared with their expression levels in the liver cirrhosis tissues ,liver benign neoplasm tissues and hepatitis tissues(P<0 .05) .The expression of HSP-27 in the PHC tissues was correlated with the tumor pathological grade and the TNM stage ,while the expression of GPC-3 was not correlated with the tumor pathological grade and the TNM stage .Conclusion The high expression of HSP-27 and GPC-3 in the PHC tissue is closely related with the tumorigenesis ,progress ,metastasis of PHC ,which may become new pathological diagnosis markers of PHC .

OBJECTIVE:To explore security of interstitial chemotherapy by implanting 5-fluorouracil sustained-release reagent into interstitial tissues of oesophageal tumor tissue and tumor peripheral tissue under orthoptic endoscope. METHODS:Relative articles were retrieved from Pubmed database from January 1988 to December 2008 and CNKI database from January 2000 to December 2008. Inclusion criteria:articles which were related to 5-fluorouracil sustained-release reagent for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma were included;Exclusion criteria:Duplicated articles were excluded. A total of 29 patients with grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ esophageal carcinoma who received implantation of 5-fluorouracil sustained-release reagent under orthoptic endoscope were collected from Department of Oncology,Shenyang Red Cross Hospital from March 2001 to December 2007. There were 22 males and 7 females,aging 51-82 years and mean age of 60.2 years. 5-fluorouracil sustained-release particles were implanted into tumor interstitial tissue under orthoptic endoscope. 800 mg 5-fluorouracil sustained-release particles were gradually implanted for 3-5 particles each time. RESULTS:Implantation of 5-fluorouracil sustained-release reagent has been reported to safely and effectively treat esophageal carcinoma. Clinical results indicated complete remission(n=3) ,partial remission(n=16) ,stable pathogenetic condition(n=6) ,and no remission(n=4) . Body mass increased in 21 patients(72.4%) ,and average effectiveness level was 70.9%. Symptoms including hemorrhage,light descent of leukocyte,light malignancy,diarrhea but excluding functional disorder of liver and kidney were found. Easement of pain in 22 patients was 75.8%,and discontinuing analgesics accounted for 50%(P

Currently,tracheal stents used in clinic include silicone,dynamic and metal types.The metal stents contain Ni-Ti memory alloy,stainless steel,and coating stents,which are cylinder and network structured.These stents are more expensive than silicone stents.The internal stents,mainly metal stents,have been used recently in clinic to treat tracheal stenosis.Tracheal stenting methods are divided into bronchofibroscope and hard lens implantation.Both tracheal and esophageal stent implantations are invasive treatment.However,tracheal stent implantation is different from esophageal stent implantation.As patients with airway obstruction are always complicated by dyspnea and hypoxemia,even respiratory failure,which increases risk and difficulty of stent implantation.During tracheal stent implantation,the bronchofibroscope or stent entering the stenosis site may lead to complete tracheal obstruction-induced asphyxia.Corrosion of metal wire of stent to airway mucosa and vessels may result in hemorrhea,leading to postoperative hemoptysis.Stent dislocation is mainly caused by inappropriate selection of stent,inappropriate implantation position or severe cough.Carcinoma tissue growing along stent lumens can induce re-obstruction in stent,resulting in atelectasis relapse.Although there are many unsolved problems and the incidence of complication is 10%-20%,tracheal stent is still a safe,effective and simple therapy for tracheal stenosis.Prevention and treatment of tracheal stenosis following stent implantation and development of novel stents with better effect and fewer side effects is future study focus.

ObjectiveTo apply the Schwann cell neurilemma channel(SCNC) in promoting the regeneration of injuried spinal cord.MethodsSpinal cords of rats after laminectomy at T8/9 were divided in 3 groups randomly: 10 rats were transplanted with SCNC(Group A);10 rats only made models(Group B);10 rats were as normal control group(Group C).All rats received behaviour survey and inclined plane test every week 8 weeks after operation.6 weeks after operation,they were measured with cortical somatosensory evoked potential(CSEP).And 8 weeks after operation,all specimens were studied histologically.ResultsCSEP could be recorded in group A and C,but not in group B.There were marked differenties between group A or C and group B in behavior survey,inclined plane test.Amount of nerve fibers regenerated through the injury gap in group A was significantly larger than that in group B.ConclusionSCNC could facilitate axonal regeneration and promote the repairing of injuried spinal cord.

Objective To analyze the situation of smoking control calls at 12345 citizens′ hotline in Shanghai and investigate the smoking control hotspots concerned by citizens, the handling efficiency and quality of the hotline management, especially after the tobacco control ordinance was amended. Methods Statistical analysis was made on 48 945 smoking control calls, and data model established by natural language processing. Results After amendment of the tobacco control ordinance, there was a great increase in the number of smoking control calls, which reached a peak in 2017, and became 6.7 times that of 2016.Complaint report was the most important part of tobacco control calls, accounting for 76.24% of the total.Work and dining places were the main venue for complaints, while restaurants and offices were with the largest number of calls.The proportion of health departments in all responsible departments was the largest, accounting for 29.71%.Criticism and education were still the main way to deal with the problem, which was far from meeting the demands of citizens in this regard. Conclusion Publicity can mobilize the enthusiasm of the citizens to participate in tobacco control.The working efficiency and quality of responsible departments still needs to be improved.Citizen′s appeal can serve as a reference for future amendments to the law.
