Objective To study the expression of a virulent novel gene F10 associated with hydatidiform mole in the hepatoma carcinoma cells(HCC),and to explore the effects of F10 on the occurrence and development of primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHC).Methods The full-length cDNA sequence of F10 was obtained from the samples of early pregnant chorionic villi and hydatidiform mole by employing suppression subtractive hybridization and cDNA microarray techniques.The hepatocarcinoma tissues and their surroundings were examined by in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled of F10 gene.The real-time-fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR)was used to quantitatively detect the expression level of F10 gene in primary hepatocellular carcinoma.F10 gene RNA copies in the samples were examined in the hepatocarcinoma tissues samples and their surroundings with PHC by PE ABI 7000 Sequence Detector.Results F10 mRNA was detected in hepatocarcinoma cells with positive signals found in kytoplasm and cell membrane,but not detected in the tissues surrounded the hepatocarcinoma.In 6 of 8 PHC samples,the expression Level of F10 gene was higher in tumor tissues than that in the tissues surrounded the tumor tissue.Among them 2 cases showed more than 4 times over-expression of F10 gene in tumor cells than in the surrounded tissues.Conclusion The virulent new F10 gene associated with hydatidiform mole was mainly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells.The results of present study suggested that the higher expression of F10 gene not only showed a close relation to trophoblastic tumor,but also indicated that the F10 gene may play an important role in the occurrence and development of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To understand the effect of vanadium to liver ultramicro structure in SD rats.Methods One hundred and fifty generaMevel SD rats of 2 months were randomly divided into control groups,30 in each,the males and females were equivalent,treated with ammonium metavanadate at doses of 0,10,20,40,60 mg/L through drinking water.After 2,6 and 10 weeks of treatment,6 rats from each group were weighed and the changes of ultramicro-structure in the liver were examined with electron microscope.Results As the increasing of dose,the increase in body weight showed a downward trend,but the coefficient of liver showed a increasing trend,the consistent performance was seen in male and female rat.After two weeks of exposure,the rats acted,ate and drank less,hair roughing and no shining,often getting together were seen.After 10 weeks,the rats had not the basic activities,the hair was disheveled and loose,some died,the structure of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum was normal in the 10,20,40 mg/L group,the number of endoplasmic reticulum increased,in 60 mg/L group,the rough endoplasmic reticulum vanished,the liver cytoplasm had a swelling phenomenon,the mitochondria reduced.Conclusion Vanadium have little effect on the liver cells of rats in low exposure level,but high level exposure may damage the liver cells in rats.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological characteristics of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( PNHL) of lung. Methods The clinical features, morphology and immunohistopathological phenotypes were retrospectively studied in 28 cases of PNHL and re-viewed of the literature. Results The composition of this group of cases is 18 cases of male, 10 cases female. The a median age of pa-tients was 57 years old. According to the WHO classification, all of the 28 cases of in our PNHL series were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( NHL) , including 17 mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue extranodal marginal zone lymphomas ( MALT) , 5 diffuse large B cell lymphomas ( DLBLC) , 2 NK/T cell lymphomas and 2 anaplastic large cell lymphomas, 1 mantle cell lymphoma ( MCL) and 1 pe-ripheral T cell lymphomas, unspecified, respectively. One-third PNHL patients presented with specific clinical symptoms such as cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and fatigue, Imaging examination showed unilateral or bilateral pulmonary infiltrate, single lesions or multiple nodules, and the lesions always involved with the trachea, bronchus and lung. Follow-up was completed in 16 patients ( range, 3 to 38 months) . 3 cases were conducted with pneumonectomy, among which 2 cases were given postoperative adjuvant chem-otherapy. Seven patients were given chemotherapy alone, and 5 patients did not give any treatment following initial diagnosis. At the time of last follow-up, 13 patients were alive with disease, 2 patients were died. The tumor metastasis in the left inguinal lymph node was found in one patient after 2 years by surgery. Conclusions It was shown that there was no specific clinical manifestations and fea-tures of pulmonary PNHL. Among of them, the MALT is the most common diseases, and the highly aggressive lymphomas many be oc-cur, such as the DLBLC, NK/T cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of PNHL depends on pathological examination. The immunohistochemi-cal staining and molecular pathological technology may helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the tumors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-2 expression and invasive potential in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells.

METHODSThe HCC cell lines with high, low, and non-metastatic potentials, namely MHCC97-H, MHCC97-L, and SMMC-7721 respectively, were cultured in vitro. Matrigel invasion assay and Western blot of PAI-2 protein expression were conducted.

RESULTSThe number of invaded cells in MHCC97-L was significantly higher than that in SMMC-7721 (P=0.005), whereas that in MHCC97-H was higher than in MHCC97-L (P=0.017) and SMMC-7721 (P=0.001). Contrarily, PAI-2 protein expression was gradually reducing from SMMC-7721, MHCC97-L, to MHCC97-H (MHCC97-H vs. MHCC97-L, P<0.001; MHCC97-H vs. SMMC-7721, P=0.001; MHCC97-L vs. SMMC-7721, P=0.001). The Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a significant negative association between invaded cell number and PAI-2 expression (r=-0.892, P=0.001).

CONCLUSIONPAI-2 expression may be negatively associated with the invasive potential of HCC.

Objective To improve treatment success rate and prognosis for patients with bifrontal contusions by intracranial pressure monitoring.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 cases of bifrontal contusions admitted between October 2004 and April 2012.The patients were divided into intracranial pressure monitoring group (n =40) and group without intracranial pressure monitoring (n =39),according to the treatments.Significance of high coronary craniotomy timing,surgical strategy and intracranial pressure monitoring in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis was analyzed.Results The intracranial pressure monitoring group showed a significantly shorter period concerning osmotic dehydration [(14.24 ± 7.93) days vs (21.61 ± 11.97)days,P＜0.01],ICU stay [(14.38 ±7.56)days vs (24.71-± 17.94)days,P＜0.01] and total hospital stay [(17.20 ±8.09)days vs (33.92 ± 21.70)days,P＜0.01] as well as a better GOS [(4.15 ± 1.22) points vs (3.69 ± 1.56) points,P ＜ 0.05],as compared with group without intracranial pressure monitoring.Conclusions Craniotomy,especially decompressive craniectomy,is one of the most important treatment means to control cranial pressure and ensure cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with bifrontal contusions (in particular the moderate and severe ones).Besides,intracranial pressure monitoring is conducive to selection of surgery timing and is instructive to combined treatment,such as osmotherapy,intracranial pressure controlling and assurance of cerebral perfusion pressure.

Objective:To observe the effect of enriched rehabilitation training on cognitive function, plasma mir-146a-5p microRNA precursor levels and inflammatory factors in persons with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).Methods:Fifty-eight persons with PSCI were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 29. The observation group was given enriched rehabilitation training, while the control group was provided with conventional cognitive rehabilitation training. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), the Digit Span Test (DST), parts A and B of the Trail Making Test (TMT A-B) and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to assess the subjects′ cognitive functioning and their ability in the activities of daily living (ADL). Plasma levels of mir-146a-5p, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected before and after the treatment.Results:After treatment, the average MOCA, DST and MBI scores, as well as the average TMT A-B times had improved significantly for both groups. However, the observation group′s averages were significantly better than those of the control group on all three tests. After the treatment, the average plasma expression of miR-146a-5p had increased significantly in both groups, but the increase in the observation group was significantly greater. Plasma IL-6 and TNF-α levels were significantly lower than before the treatment, with the average TNF-α level in the observation group significantly lower than that of the control group.Conclusions:Enriched rehabilitation training can improve the cognition of stroke survivors more effectively than conventional cognitive rehabilitation training. That may be related to the up-regulation of plasma miR-146a-5p and reducing inflammation.
