Objective To study the expression, distribution and significance of C2 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and gastric cancer tissue. Methods ABC immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of C2 protein in 60 samples of HCC tissue and 58 samples of gastric cancer tissue, and Western blot technique was used to detect the expression of C2 protein in 10 samples of HCC tissue and pericancerous tissue. Results 1. Expression of C2 protein in HCC tissue: in 60 samples of HCC and 42 samples of pericancerous tissue, the positivity rate of C2 protein was 27.3% and 83.3%, respectively. The positivity rate of C2 protein was significantly higher in pericancerous tissue than that in HCC tissue ( P

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) pneumonia showing lobar pneumonia.Methods Patients from Jan.2004 to Dec.2005 were selected as researching case,which had samptoms and signs of respiratory in clinic,the chest Xray shown lobar pneumonia,the MP of down respiratory′s secretion detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and MP-IgM of serum detected by indirect hemagglutination were positive.The clinical data of them were reviewed.Results MP pneumonia showing lobar pneumonia was same to streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in clinic,but it had some characters:1.majority of the lobar MP pneumonia were children being student;2.the process was long,the samptoms of respiratory was tipical,the continuous fever was few,and the infectious samptoms was not obvious as streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia;3.the injury to lung was more and tipical;4.the increase of white blood cell,neutrocyte and C-reactive protein were not clearly as to streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia,but the absorbing of lung′s focal was relatively fast;5.the ?-lactams antibiotic was not effective,but macrolides was effective.Conclusions Clinical characters of MP pneumonia are needed to master,the variety of chest X-ray changes and differentiate from other pneumonia infected by other are needed to notice.

The rodipicolinate synthase gene was cloned from Nicotiana tabacum L.cv,which encodes the key enzyme in the synthesis of lysine,and then a vitro molecular reform reliefing feedback suppression was made. Some resistant seedlings were acquired using the mutated gene as selectable marker and analog of lysine as selectable reagent,and the detection results were positive by means of PCR and Real-Time PCR,however the phenotype is somewhat abnormal.

Objective To explore the status of early postoperative social relationship quality and hope level in patients with breast cancer and analyze the correlation between them. Method A questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 patients with breast cancer using the social relationship quality scale and Herth hope scale. Results The total score and expected total score of early postoperative social relationship were (47.86±6.10)and (30.81±1.86), respectively. There was a positive correlation between the two groups (r=0.324,P<0.05). Conclusions The quality of social relations in the postoperative patients with breast cancer is positively correlated with the level of hope. Nursing staff should give breast cancer patients hope and strength at the same time, helping them understand and use social relations to improve the quality of life.

The development of proteomic technique has sparked new focus on novel protein markers for many diseases including cancer. Urine is one of the most useful biofluids for routine testing to provide an ideal resource for the discovery of novel biomarkers, with the advantage over tissue biopsy samples due to the ease and the less invasive nature of urinary collection. This review summarizes urinary protein tumor markers found in prostate cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer that have shown potential for urogenital and non-urogenital cancer, so as to provide reference on high sensitive and high specific urinary protein tumor markers for early prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to investigate the caries status of the first permanent molar and primary tooth among 7- to 9-year-old children in Tangshan city and the correlation between caries of primary tooth and the first permanent molar.

METHODSA stratified cluster sampling method was used on the basis of the Basic Approach of Oral Health Survey of WHO and the Guideline of the Third National Oral Health Survey. A total of 10 primary schools were randomly sampled in clusters that included 51 primary school sampling spots in Tangshan. The caries status of 1 794 children aged 7 years to 9 years was examined.

RESULTSThe prevalence rate of the first permanent molar caries was 47.49% (852/1 794), the mean number of DMFT was 1.30 ± 1.59, the mean number of DMFS was 1.96 ± 3.40, and the filling rate was only 2.35% (20/852). The preva- lence rate and mean DMFT of the first permanent molar caries showed significant difference between different ages and genders (P < 0.05). However, the mean DMFS of the first permanent molar caries only showed significant difference between the various ages (P < 0.05). The prevalence rate of the primary tooth caries was 83.11% (1 491/1 794), the mean number of dmft was 4.82 ± 3.55, the mean number of dmfs was 6.51 ± 5.61, and the filling rate was 12.41% (185/1 491). Caries of primary tooth was the first permanent molar caries risk factor [r = 0.277, OR = 5.736, P = 0.00, 95% CI (4.175, 7.881)]. Significant correlation was found between the caries of primary tooth and first permanent molar (r = 0.274, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONCaries status of the first permanent molar among 7- to 9-year-old children in Tangshan city is serious. Caries status of primary tooth may play an important role in predicting the first permanent molar caries in clinic and prevention.

Objective To explore the relationship between 677C/T polymorphism of methy lenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and diabetic macrovascular complications (including cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease) in Shanghai.Methods Among 416 Chinese subjects, 216 were in macrovascular disease group 〔the atherosclerosis (AS) group〕 which included cerebral infarction (CI) subgroup consisting of 111 subjects (50 cases with and 61 without diabetes) and coronary heart disease (CHD) subgroup consisting of 105 subjects (48 with and 57 without diabetes); 100 subjects were in diabetes group without macrovascular disease (DM); and 100 normal subjects in control group (C). Genotypes were determined by PCR/restriction enzyme digestion and the relationship between 677C/T polymorphism and diabetic macrovascular complications was studied by population based association analysis. Results The frequencies of MTHFR TT genotype and T allele were significantly higher in macrovascular disease group. Logistic regression analysis showed that MTHFR gene was a potential contributor to AS. Comparison of genotype frequencies between diabetic and non diabetic subgroups in macrovascular disease group revealed no difference. Significant difference of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and diastolic blood pressure between different genotype subgroups was observed within some macrovascular disease groups after stratification by sex and diabetes. Conclusion MTHFR contributes to the development of macroangiopathy (cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease) whether associated with type 2 diabetes or not in Shanghai district.
