Cancer Research and Clinic 2017;29(4):235-240
Objective To analyze the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1),p16 proteins and DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ α (TOPO Ⅱ α) in cervical cancer and their clinical significances.Methods A total of 181 paraffin-embedded operating specimens and the biopsy including 106 cervical squamous cell carcinoma,30 high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN),30 low grade CIN and 33 normal cervical were selected from January 2014 to December 2015.An immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to detect the expression of PD-L1,p16 and TOPO Ⅱ α.Results The positive rate of PD-L1 expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 66.0 % (70/106),but it was not expressed in high grade CIN,low grade CIN and normal cervical tissues,the differences were statistically significant (all P =0.000).Whereas,in squamous cell carcinoma,the positive rate of PD-L1 in poor differentiation group [77.3 % (51/66)] was higher than that in middle or high differentiation group [56.5 % (21/40)],and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =7.02,P =0.01).According to the FIGO stage,the positive rate in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ group [54.9 % (28/51)] was lower than that in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ group [76.4 % (42/55)],and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.47,P =0.02).But there was no statistical significance in lesion size or lymph node metastasis (both P > 0.05).The positive rate of p16 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 99.1% (105/ 106),in high grade CIN was 86.7 % (26/30),in low grade CIN was 26.7 % (8/30),and no expression in normal cervical tissues,the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001).The expression of p16 had no relationship with histological differentiation,FIGO stage,lesion size,and lymph node metastasis (all P > 0.05).The positive expression rate of TOPO Ⅱ α in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 97.2 % (103/106),compared with that in high grade CIN [73.3 % (22/30)],low grade CIN [66.7 % (20/30)],and normal cervical tissues (no expression),the differences were statistically significant (all P =0.000).But there was nosignificant difference in the positive expression rate of TOPOⅡ α between high grade and low grade CIN (x2 =0.32,P =0.570).The expression of TOPO 1Ⅱ α had no relationship with histological differentiation,FIGO stage,lesion size and lymph node metastasis (all P > 0.05).Conclusion The expression of PD-L1,p16 and TOPO Ⅱ α is associated with the invasion of cervical cancer.PD-L1 may be an immune checkpoint for the treatment of patients with invasive cervical cancer.
2.Comprehensive assessment of BMI cut-off point in metabolic surgery from the view of guideline
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2015;(9):776-779
Recently ,metabolic surgery has received much concern for its notable and everlasting effectiveness on glucose control ,weight loss and other metabolic disorders and concomitant diseases. Previous clinical practice and guidelines mostly focused on surgical indications ,especially BM I cut‐off point. In recent years ,BMI cut‐off point in guidelines has shown a downtrend and BMI cut‐off value has tended to become obscure ,which harvested from that clinical staff have realized the importance of comprehensive control for long‐term multiple metabolism and risk factors and overall benefit of the patients through increased clinical evidences and no longer limited to the improvement of obesity and diabetes itself.

Acyl Coenzyme A Oxidase(ACO) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the ?-oxidation of dicarboxylic acid in Candida tropicalis . Using strains with low Acyl Coenzyme A Oxidase activity to produce dicarboxylic acid on an industrial scale will facilitates the improvement of the yield and purity of dicarboxylic acid. In this research, we improved the method of Allain, so as to determine the activity of Acyl Coenzyme A Oxidase from Candida tropicalis easily and correctly. This method can be used as quantity criterion in the screen of industrial strains of dicarboxylic acid production, and this work established the basic of character study of Acyl Coenzyme A Oxidase. We determined the activities of Acyl Coenzyme A Oxidase from a series of Candida tropicalis strains with different ability of dicarboxylic acid production, and found the obvious relationship of ACO activity and ability of acid production.

OBJECTIVEThe changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats were observed after targetedly damaged the cerebraspinal fluid-contacting nucleus (CSF-contacting nucleus) to provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of regulating pain CSF-contacting nucleus involved in.
METHODSMale adult SD rats were divided into control, sham, choleratoxin subunit B conjugated with horse-radish peroxidase (CB-HRP)and damage groups randomly. The pain threshold using mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were recorded and analyzed. Immunofluorescence method was used to observe the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn.
RESULTSCompared with the control, sham and CB-HRP groups, the MWT and TWL of the damage group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The results of immunofluorescence showed that 5-HT was detected in neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus. In the damage group, the number of neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus reduced gradually, and no survived neurons were observed at the 10th day. Meanwhile, both the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn increased gradually, and negatively correlated with the change of pain threshold.
CONCLUSIONThe method of targeted damaging CSF-contacting nucleus by cholera toxin subnit B conjugated with saporin(CB-SAP) is scientific and reliable, and it results in the changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats. This study suggests that CSF-contacting nucleus participate in the regulation of pain, moreover, 5-HT and c-Fos play important roles in this regulation.

Objective The purpose is to report the clinical result of repairing defection in hand surgery by using both the vascular tissue flap and external fixators. Methods The vascular tissue flap including bone flap and joint flap to repair the complex defection (soft tissue, bones and joints) in hand and forearm were applied in 9 cases. At the same time in surgery,injured bones and joints were fixed by A-O and mini external fixators in order to keep the non-injured joint actively and accelerate the cure of bones. Result All 9 cases were applied successfully with the all transplanted tissue survived. Pulling about the external fixator about 10- 12 weeks after surgery showed bone union and the f unction of hand recovered satisfactorily' Conclusion it is a reliable method for repairing the complex tissue defection in hand and forearm by combining external fixation of traumarology and microsugery technique. And it is also characterized by a minor injury in transplanted bones,early exercise for joints,flap circulation observed conveniently,and nursing easily.
