Objective To observe the solo-allied expression of Survivin, Smad4/dpc4 and APC gene, and study the relationship between the three genes and biological behavior of colorectal cancer. Methods The expressions of Survivin, Smad4/dpc4 and APC gene were detected by SP immunohistochem-istry among the cases from 40 eu-intestine ,80 large intestinal adenoma and 80 CRC. Results The positive rate of survivin protein in the eu-intestine, the large intestinal adenoma and CRC was 0,35.0% ,75.0% , respectively. The positive rate of Smad4/dpc4 protein was 100% , 95. 0% , 78. 8% , and the positive rate of APC protein was 100% ,80.0% ,45.0% , respectively. In the eu-intestine, APC + Smad4/dpc4 Z- expressed in 40 cases, with the incidence of 100%. In the large intestinal adenoma, APC + Smad4 expressed in 38 patients, with the incidence of 47. 5% , and the three genes expressed in 29 patients with the incidence of 23. 8%. In the CRC, two genes expressed in 57 patients, with the incidence of 71. 3% , and three genes expressed in 28 patients, with the incidence of 35.0%. Conclusion The detection of survivin was a new indicator in early diagnosis of CRC. It was significant in the diagnosis of CRC that energetic search for the positive rate level realm of survivin. The catastrophe or absence of Smad4/dpc4 gene not only induced the genesis of CRC but also encouraged its growth. Smad4/dpc4 was ant- carcinomatous gene intimately correlated to the CRC. Detection of APC gene had very important significance, it could be helpful to conduct the research of tumorous aetiology, nosogenesis and early diagnosis. The allied detection of Survivin, Smad4/dpc4, APC gene played a very important role in early diagnosing and healing the CRC.

This commentary on the paper " Assessment of the genetic and clinical determinants of fracture risk: genome wide association and mendelian randomisation study" published recently on the British Medrcal Journal (BMJ), has been focused on the analysis of the study design and the advantages/disadvantages of large-scale design. Besides discussing the main findings of the study, it is pointed out that the negative relationship between the traits should be interpreted carefully. Finally, we introduce the study design of Mendelian randomization ( MR) and randomized controlled trial (RCT), the similarities and differences between them are compared. We believe that more and more MR studies based on large-scale genome wide association study (GWAS) data will be carried out in the next few years.

Objective To observe the changes of potassium ion (K+), lactic acid (Lac) and glucose (Glu) in swine with traumatic hemorrhagic shock (THS) inside the dry-heat environment and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods A total of 40 local Landrace piglets were randomly(random number) divided equally into 4 groups: the normal temperature sham operation group (NS), the normal temperature traumatic hemorrhagic shock group (NTHS), the dry-heat sham operation group (DS group) and the dry-heat traumatic hemorrhagic shock group (DTHS). The experiment was carried out in the artifi cia climate cabin simulated the special environment of northwest of China. After exposed to their respective environment[dry-heat environment: (40.5±0.5), plus(10±2)% humidity; normal temperature environment: (25±0.5), plus(35±5)% humidity] for 3 h. Laparotomy were performed in swine of all groups, and then splenectomy and partial hepatectomy were performed only in NTHS and DTHS. The process of exsanguination from the external iliac artery was established to make the MAP reaching to 40-50 mmHg, and thus the traumatic hemorrhagic shock model of swine was successfully made. Blood samples were collected from external iliac artery at different intervals including the time just after exposure for 3 h and the successful establishment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock model (0 h) and then every 30 min after 0 h, serum levels of K+, Lac and Glu were detected. The features of varied serum K+, Lac and Glu were observed in each group. All data were statistically analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis. Results After exposed , the level of serum K+inside the dry-heat environment was higher than that of swine inside the normal temperature group ( P<0.01), however the Glu level was lower in the swine inside dry-heat environment than that of swine inside the normal temperature ( P<0.01).The level of serum K+and Lac of DTHS group were rapidly increased from the establishment of the model to the death in about 3 h, while those of NTHS group were increased slowly. The level of K+and Lac were positively correlated in the two groups amd the correlation coeffi cient were rDTHS=0.927 (P<0.01) and rNTHS=0.539 (P<0.01),respectively. The level of Glu was progressively decrease in DTHS group, while in NTHS group, it was not noticeable. The level of K+and Glu were negatively correlated in the two group, the correlation coeffi cient were rDTHS=-0.804 (P<0.01) and rNTHS=0.420 (P<0.01),respectively. Conclusions The changes of serum K+, Lac and Glu occurred sooner and more obvious in traumatic hemorrhagic shock models inside dry heat environment (DTHS) group than those in NTHS group. The level of serum K+positively correlated with Lac, however, negatively correlated with Glu, which suggested that hyperkalemia and acidosis should be paid more attention to the treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock inside the dry heat environment, and the hypoglycemia should be treated at the same time.
