1.Expression and clinical significance of epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor in non-small cell lung cancer
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(11):1634-1636
Objective To observe the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the reletionship with clinic-pathologic parameters.Methods Immunohistochemistry of tissue sections was used to study the expression of EGFR and VEGF in 124 NSCLC tissues and 15 normal lung tissues adjacent to cancer tissues.Results The positive rates of EGFR and VEGF in 124 NSCLC samples were 52.4%,66.1%,while no expressed in the 15 normal lung tissues adjacent to cancer tissues.The positive rate of VEGF with stage Ⅲ was higher than that with stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ ( 80.4% vs 56.2%,P <0.05).The positive rate of VEGF with lymph node metastasis was higher than that without lymph node metastasis (78,2% vs 53.3%,P < 0.05 ).The expression of VEGF and EGFR had no relationship with clinic pathological factors including histological type of lung cancer,sex,age.EGFR and VEGF expression was statistically correlated with each other( r =0.93,P <0.05 ).Conclusion EGFR and VEGF were overexpressed in NSCLC tissues.The expression of VEGF was correlated with TNM stages and lymph node metastasis.The expression of EGFR was correlated with VEGF expression in NSCLC tissues,which indicates they might act synergistically in angiogenesis of NSCLC.

Objective To explore the influence of family factors on physical activity behavior of central obesity patient.Methods A questionnaire investigation to 182 central obesity volunteers was carried out in a residential district of shanghai on April 2007.Results The percentage of the patients taking physical activities,at least one of whose family members participate in regular exercise,was 66.7%.It was significantly higher than that (43.6%) of other patients whose family members hardly ever participated in regular exercise any more(χ2=9.260,P=0.002).The percentage of patients taking physical activities,with highly family function,was 60.2%.It was significantly higher than that of the patients in moderately dysfunctional family (49.9%) and in severely dysfunctional family(35.5%)(χ2=6.448,P=0.04).The average APGAR score,Partnership score and Growth score of the patients in taking exercise group were 7.13±2.63,1.49±0.71 and 1.35±0.73. They were significantly higher than that of the patients in taking no exercise group (6.09±3.09,1.24±0.85 and 0.90±0.86) (t=2.095~3.845,P=0.000~0.038). While family size,family economic status and marital status showed no obvious effect on physical activity behavior of central obesity patients(χ2=0.027~1.709,P>0.05).Conclusion Highly family function and at least one of the other family members taking regular exercise can promote activity of central obesity patient in daily life.

Objective The study focused on the relationship between neopterin (NP),Gensini score and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) to explore the important role of the neopterin in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods Total of 442 patients,admitted to the Department of Cardiology at Renmin Hospital,Wuhan University from January 2012 to September 2012,were enrolled in this study.There were 176 patients in the control group and 266 patients with coroary disease in the experimental group.The Gensini score was used to assess the severity of the coronary lesions in the patients with coronary heart disease.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to measure the serum NP level.The other indicators were assessed by use of fully automatic biochemical and coagulation analyzers.The data were analyzed by using of SPSS19.0.T-test was used for analysis of the results between the control group and the experimental group.One-factor analysis variance (ANOVA) was used for comparisons of the results among the 3 groups,and Spearman correlation analysis was used for the correlation analysis between the NP level and Gensini score as well as hs-CRP level.Results The serum NP level was higher in the experimental group than that in the control group [(1.99 ± 0.37) vs (1.48 ± 0.29) ng/ml,P <0.05],and the NP level was positively correlated with the severity of coronary heart disease.Compared with the stable angina (SA) group,the serum NP level was significantly increased in the unstable angina (UA) group (2.00 ± 0.37) ng/ml and the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (2.10 ± 0.43) ng/ml (t =2.38,P < 0.05).In addition,the serum NP level was positively correlated with the Gensini score (r =0.687,P<0.001) as well as with the level of hs-CRP (r=0.190,P<0.001).Conclusions The serum level of NP was significantly higher in patients with coronary heart disease and was positively correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease.Thus,NP may become a new indicator for the assessment of the inflammatory response in coronary atherosclerosis.

Ninety six offspring infants (48 males, 48 females) born by hospitalized patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy from January 2010 to February 2013 ( study group) and 108 cases of offspring infants (54 males, 54 females) born by hospitalized healthy pregnant woman ( control group) were enrolled in the study. All offspring infants were followed up for 2 years after birth, physical and neuropsychological development parameters were investigated at 1 month, 1 year and 2 years after birth. There were no significant difference in body weight [ ( 11.94 ±0.89 ) vs.( 13.99 ±0.78 ) kg ] , length [(86.2 ±2.0) vs.(87.0 ±3.1) cm], sitting height, [(51.8 ±2.1) vs.(51.8 ±1.9) cm], head circumference[(47.9 ±1.3) vs.(48.1 ±1.1) cm], development of intelligence quotient index[(99.4 ± 12.9) vs.(100.0 ±12.0)] at 2 years after birth between two groups (P>0.05).Two-year follow up reveals that ursodeoxycholic acid and S-adenosine methionine treatment for women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnant has no significant adverse effect on the growth and development of their offspring.

To identification the immunization activation of recombinant Leptospira gene vaccine from many-siden MethodsThe guinea pigs were immunized with recombinant Leptospira gene vaccine [plasmid vector pT7-7 was negtive control ,inactivated whole cell vaccine (WCV) was positive control]. Then spleen cells were taken out. Particularity lymphocyte transformation test(LTT),IL-2 and IL-6 activation of these spleen cells were determined by MTT and 3H-TdR respectively. Results1)The Relative transformation index of gene vaccine group was significance higher than pT7-7 group (vaccin group: 2. 19±0. 18, pT7-7 group 1.42±0. 27 ( P<0. 005 ); 2 ) the activation of IL- 2 and IL- 6 from recombinant gene vaccine group waw significance stronger than pT7-7 group (vaccine group IL-2:34. 8±3.11,IL-6:94. 6±6.03, pT7-7 group IL-2:20. 4±3. 05,IL-6: 67±6.28), (P<0. 005). Conclusion1) The activation of Th1 and Th2 lymphocyte cell were increased in the guinea pigs with gene vaccine immunized. It suggested the recombinant Leptospira gene vaccine could elicit an extremely strong immunization effect of T-cell cooperate with B-cell and the gene vaccine was equal the WCV(P>0. 05)but the gene vaccine sideeffect was small and the applying prospect was good.

Objective To investigate the correlation of ultrasonographic characteristics and pathologic features for malignant mullerian mixed tumor(MMMT)and determine the diagnostic value of ultrasonography.Methods The uItrasonographic features of 10 MMMTs were analyzed retrospectively and the sonographic findings were compared with histological results and discussed the correlation.Results The morphologic features of US and histology were well associated.Large,solitary lesion,ill-defined irregular shape,honeycombed heterogenous echo-pattern,scattered cystic areas and increased irregular peripheral/internal color flow were typical US findings.Logistic regression analysis showed the type of tumor liquefaction to be the most significant independent predictor of vascularity.Conclusions Ultrasonography is helpful for the diagnosis of MMMT,the uhrasonographic characteristics of MMMT are well correlated to its pathologic features.
