Objective To explore the expression of c-met mRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinomas(NPC) and its relation with clinical biological behavior. Methods In situ hybridisation was used to detect mRNA expression of c-met in 15 cases NP and 55cases NPC. Results The positive rate of c-met mRNA in NP and NPC cells were were 13.3 %(2/15) and 61.8 %(34/55) respectively. The expression of c-met mRNA was significantly correlated with lymphnode metastasis, local invasion(basilar destroying) (P 0.05). Conclusions The abnormality expression of c-met gene expression was well correlated with the biological behavior of metastasis and invasion. The expression of c-met mRNA could serve as an important index to estimate the prognosis of NPC. c-met may be a new diagnostic/therapeutic targert of NPC.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sepsis on pharmacodynamics of rocuronium in rats.MethodsForty SD male rats weighing 250-350 g were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group(group C,n =10) ; sham operation group(group S,n =10)and sepsis group (group Sep,n =20).Cerum was ligated and perforated to produce sepsis model in Sep group,rocuronium 3.81 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 6 or 16 h after operation,each time contains 10 rats.Cecum was not ligate and perforate in group S,but rocuronium 3.81 mg/kg was intravenously injected at 6 h after operation.Onset time,TOF no reaction period,duration of peak effect,clinical duration,totel duration,time for recovery of T1 to 10％,25％,50％,75％,90％ and recovery index were recorded by RM6240B signal acquisition and processing system.ResultsCompared with groups C and S,onset time was significantly prolonged,TOF no reaction period,duration of peak effect,clinical duration,total duration and time for recovery T1 to 10％,25％,50％,75％,90％ and recovery index were shortened in group Sep ( P ＜ 0.05).Onset time was significantly prolonged,time for recovery of T1 to 75％ was shortened when rocuronium injection at 16 h after operation as compared with that at 6 h after operation in group Sep( P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionSepsis can attenuate the effects of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocker rocuronium,the degree is related to the stage of sepsis.

Previous studies have shown that miRNAs participate in a wide range of biological functions and play important roles in various human diseases including cancer. We found miR-146b-5p significantly dysregulated in human pancreatic cancer cells by qRT-PCR. To demonstrate its function and regulation mechanism, we overexpressed miR-146-5p by transfecting the mimics. Our data showed that miR-146b-5p overexpression significantly reduced the abilities of migration and invasion of MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that matrix metalloproteinase 16 (MMP16) was a downstream target of miR-146b-5p by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Altogether, our findings suggest that miR-146b-5p may be involved in pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion by targeting MMP16, and miR-146b-5p may be a potential therapeutic target for the pancreatic cancer.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of multi-b-value diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) of the normal cervical, cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN Ⅲ),and to assess the value of DWI in diagnosis and pathological staging for cervical cancer.Methods There were 54 patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer,including 36 squamous cell carcinoma,15 adenomatous carcinoma, and 3 neuroendocrine carcinoma.And other 9 patients with CIN Ⅲ were involved in the study.All patients underwent conventional MR scan with multi-b-value DWI sequence.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of multi-b-value DWI were compared between normal cervical tissue and cervical cancer with its different pathology subtypes.Results The three normal structure of uterine cervix, including cervical endometrial, junctional zone and myometrium, can be clearly distinguished by different b-value DWI, with a statistical difference of ADC value (P<0.05).Further analysis showed that the average ADC values between normal cervix and cervical cancer had a statistical difference (P<0.05).The similar situation was presented among squamous cell carcinoma, adenomatous carcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma and CIN Ⅲ(P<0.05).Conclusion The ADC values of multi-b-value DWI could be helpful to diagnose cervical cancer and CIN Ⅲ,and it is correlated with the pathological type of cervical cancer.The application of multi-b-value DWI to cervical cancer and CIN Ⅲ could increase the accuracy of diagnosis.

Background and purpose: Because of the aggressive nature of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and the absence of effective adjuvant therapy, surgical radical resection offers hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients the only choice. Research focus include preoperative assessment, the use of preoperative biliary drainage, the range of hepatic resection, and the range of lymphadenectomy. To investigate the clinical experience and efifcacy of combined hepatectomy in the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: Two hundred and seven patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma treated surgically in the First Afifliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University form Jan. 2007 to Oct. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Of the 207 patients, 125 patients who received radical resection (R0 resection) and the curative resection rate was 60.4%. One hundred and iffty-six cases were treated in combined hepatectomy group, 51 cases in non-hepatectomy group, the rate of R0 resection was 70.5%in hepatectomy group and 29.4%in non-hepatectomy group, and the difference was signiifcant (P<0.01). Two patients died perioperatively, the main postoperative complications included hepatic function insufifciency and bile leakage. One hundred and seventy-two patients were followed up, the median survival time of the 102 patients who received R0 resection was 45 months, and the 1, 3, 5 year survival rates were 96.1%, 59.1%and 17.2%. The median survival time of the 70 patients who received R1-2 resection was 26 months, and the 1, 3 year survival rates were 81.3%and 19.2%, and none of the patient survived for over 5 years. The survival rate of patients who received R0 resection was signiifcantly higher than those who received R1-2 resection (χ2=39.121, P<0.01). In the hepatectomy group was awarded the R0 resection in patients with postoperative 1, 3, 5 year survival rate was 97.8%, 63.9% and 18.0%, in non-hepatectomy group received R0 resection in patients with postoperative 1, 3, 5 year survival rate was 83.3%, 20.8%and 8.3%. There were signiifcant differences in the postoperative survival rate between both group (χ2=5.988, P=0.014). Conclusion:Radical excision is the key to improve the long term survival. Combined hemihepatectomy and standardized lymph node resection has signiifcantly improved the radical resection rate and the efifcacy of treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
