Objective:To study the expression of MMP-9 and eosinophils in nasal polyps and its influence on the prognosis. Method:Study the expression of MMP-9 and EOS on the tissue of nasal polyps of patients who were cured or recurrent and normal nasal mucosa(NM) by immunohistochemisty and HE staining. Result:In the patients of recurrent group (Group B) , the expression of MMP-9 was much stronger than that of good prognosis group (Group A) and NM. The MMP-9 was stronger in the eosinophil nasal polyps than that of non-eosinophil groups. The percentage of EOS in Group A was 16.67% , while 62.50% in the Group B. Conclusion:The stronger expres-sion of MMP-9 on Group B and eosinophil group indicated that MMP-9 might affect the prognosis of nasal polyps through inducing the number of EOS in the mucosa. MMP-9 may be one of the risk factors for the relapse of nasal polyps.

50%).RT-PCR results were classified as positive and negative according to the presence or absence of corresponding electrophoretic bands. Results Immunohistochemically,integrin ?2 and ?3 subunits were all expressed strongly in 12 cases of normal bladder tissues (100%).In 53 cases of BTCC tissues,?2 was strongly positive in 10 cases (19%),positive in 22(42%),negative in 21(40%);?3 was strongly positive in 16 (30%),positive in 24 (45%),negative in 13(25%).The expressions of ?2 and ?3 were significantly different between normal and BTCC tissues ( P 0.05).RT-PCR results showed that ?3 expression was positive in all normal tissues (100%) and in 36 (68%) out of the 53 cases of BTCC tissues;the difference was significant ( P 0.05),but ?3 mRNA positive expression was significantly related to clinical stages [T is ～T 1:83%(19/23),T 2～T 4:57%(17/30); P

Comprehensive evaluation methods are generally used to assess the population data. When we need to estimate the sample data in special situations, the impacts brought by the sampling error should be considered. Due to lack of the accurate measurement for the sensitivity and stability in the comprehensive evaluation methods, sampling errors usually cannot be estimated in the sampling research. Monte Carlo simulation was used in this article to solve the probability of the ordering results, and the matlab programs were presented. Based on the simulated results, we change the conventional “absolute conclusion” of comprehensive evaluation methods to “probability results” for the sample data, and put forward a new sorting and ranking method for the results of comprehensive evaluation.

Objective To explore the effects of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signal pathway on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression at different glucose-lowing rates,and the influence of glucose-lowing rate on cardiomyocyte injury and inflammatory secretion function,as well as its mechanism.Methods Cardiomyocytes of Wistar neonate rat were maintained in medium supplemented with 25 mmol/L glucose for 72 h.Then the medium was changed to different concentrations of glucose and all cells were divided into five groups.Group A was control group whose medium supplemented with 25 mmol/L glucose.Medium of group B,C,D,E was supplemented with 20,15,10,5 mmol/L glucose (glucose-lowing rate was 5,10,15,20 mmol/L) respectively.Survival rate of cardiomyocyte was measured by CCK8 kit.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry instrument and laser confocal microscope after Annexin V-PI.TNF-α was measured by ELISA.ERK1/2 protein and phosphorylation were measured by Western blot.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and TNF-α levels were measured again after U0126 was added.Results At the same time point,along with the glucose-lowing rate increased,survival rate of cardiomyocyte in group A was increased and those in group C,D,E were decreased (P＜ 0.05).TNF-α concentration was increased in group B,C,D and decreased in group E.After 24 h,apoptosis rate decreased in group B and increased in group C,D,E (P＜0.05).ERK1/2 phosphorylation level increased in group B,D,and E(P＜0.05).The ERK1/2 phosphorylation level in group B was the lowest.After U0126 was added,survival rates of cardiomyocyte in all groups were increased (P＜0.01) while TNF-α concentrations were decreased (P＜0.05).In every group,survival rate of eardiomyocyte after 48 h was lower than that after 3 h and 24 h,while TNF-α concentration was higher (P＜0.05).Conclusion Influence of glucose-lowering rate for cardiomyocyte apoptosis and TNF-o is caused by ERK1/2 pathway.In the glucose-lowering course,ERK1/2 pathway promotes cardiomyocytes apoptosis and TNF-α secretion is related with not only osmotic pressure,but also ERK1/2 signal pathway activation as well.

Lamin B1 (LMNB1) is highly expressed in liver cancer tissues, and its influence and mechanism on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells were explored by knocking down the expression of the protein. In liver cancer cells, siRNAs were used to knock down LMNB1. Knockdown effects were detected by Western blotting. Changes in telomerase activity were detected by telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay (TRAP) experiments. Telomere length changes were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). CCK8, cloning formation, transwell and wound healing were performed to detect changes in its growth, invasion and migration capabilities. The lentiviral system was used to construct HepG2 cells that steadily knocked down LMNB1. Then the changes of telomere length and telomerase activity were detected, and the cell aging status was detected by SA-β-gal senescence staining. The effects of tumorigenesis were detected by nude mouse subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiments, subsequent histification staining of tumors, SA-β-gal senescence staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for telomere analysis and other experiments. Finally, the method of biogenesis analysis was used to find the expression of LMNB1 in clinical liver cancer tissues, and its relationship with clinical stages and patient survival. Knockdown of LMNB1 in HepG2 and Hep3B cells significantly reduced telomerase activity, cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. Experiments in cells and tumor formation in nude mice had demonstrated that stable knockdown of LMNB1 reduced telomerase activity, shortened telomere length, senesced cells, reduced cell tumorigenicity and KI-67 expression. Bioinformatics analysis showed that LMNB1 was highly expressed in liver cancer tissues and correlated with tumor stage and patient survival. In conclusion, LMNB1 is overexpressed in liver cancer cells, and it is expected to become an indicator for evaluating the clinical prognosis of liver cancer patients and a target for precise treatment.

Surgical minimally invasive techniques such as image intervention, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and assisted medical robotics have become the mainstream of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, the vague concept, diverse misunderstanding, and the lack of standards have led to a lot of malpractice in current MIS. Based on the analysis of the clinical situation and the domestic and foreign literatures, the authors have put forward the theory of comprehensive minimally invasive surgery (CMIS), and established the concepts of minimally invasive prevention, minimally invasive diagnosis and minimally invasive follow-up in the view of hepatobiliary surgery. The authors have proposed "three-All" principles of all personnel, all aspects and all processes, and established a comprehensive four-level criteria of outcomes, complications, time and costs for CMIS, in an attempt to provide feasible and practical concepts and standards for MIS from a clinical practice and theoretical level, with a view to standardizing minimally invasive procedures and solving the problem of MIS.
