Objective:To study the expressions of Skp2 and P27 in the normal and tumor tissues of salivary glands,and then to evaluate their significance in the development and progression of salivary tumor.Methods:SP immunohistochemical method was used to evaluate the expression of Skp2 and P27 in the normal and tumor tissues of salivary glands. Results:The rates of Skp2 and P27 expression were neither significantly different between polymorphic adenoma and basal cell adenomas, nor significantly different between adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidemoid carcinoma. The rates of Skp2 positive were significantly different between normal salivary glands and benign salivary tumor, as well as between normal salivary glands and malignant salivary tumor. The rates of Skp2 and P27 positive were significantly different between normal salivary glands and malignant salivary tumor.Conclusion:Skp2 overexpression and decreased expression of P27 might play an important role in the development and progression of salivary tumor, overexpression of Skp2 protein may lead to increase of P27 degradation.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the correlation between HBV-DNA level, sterol O-acyltransferase (SOAT1) expression and tumor differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods　The clinical and HBV-DNA level data from 58 cases of HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma were collected, and the cancer tissues and their paired paracancerous tissues were collected to detect SOAT1 expression by immunohistochemistry and evaluate tumor differentiation. Correlation was statistically analyzed using chi-square tests. Results　The high-level rate of HBV-DNA in the SOAT1 high expression group was 81.1% (30/37) compared to 19.1% (4/21) of the SOAT1 low expression group, with statistical significance, and there was also a correlation between SOAT1 expression and HBV-DNA levels (χ2=21.253,P<0.05). In the low differentiation hepatocellular carcinoma group, the rate of HBV-DNA high levels was 71.1% (27/38), while it was 35.0% (7/20) in the well-moderate differentiation group, with statistical significance. There was also a significant correlation between HBV-DNA levels and tumor differentiation degree (χ2=7.021,P<0.05). The overall positive rate of SOAT1 expression in all collected cases was 63.8% (37/58), with no expression (0/58) detected in all paired paracancerous tissues, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Furthermore, the expression level of SOAT1 protein in cancer tissues was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (χ2=19.889,P<0.05). SOAT1 was generally highly expressed in the low differentiated case group, with a positive rate of 84.2% (32/38), while SOAT1 was generally low expression or no expression in HCC samples with a higher degree of differentiation, with only a few samples exhibiting high expression, with a high expression rate of 25.0% (5/20). Conclusions　There is a correlation between HBV-DNA levels and hepatocellular carcinoma differentiation degree, with higher levels of HBV-DNA detected in low differentiation tumors. Additionally, the expression level of SOAT1 is also related to the degree of differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma, and the expression level of SOAT1 in low differentiated carcinoma is also higher. Furthermore, there is a positive correlation between HBV-DNA levels and SOAT1 expression levels, and SOAT1 is a key enzyme involved in cellular lipid metabolism. These findings suggest that HBV infection may affect the function and level of SOAT1, which may interfere with hepatocyte lipid metabolism and participate in tumor genesis and evolution.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Tanreqing Injection combined with levofloxacin injection in treatment of acute episode of chronic bronchitis and its effect on bacterial clearance rate. Methods Totally 66 patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (33 cases for each). Both groups were given expectorant and antispasmodic treatment. The treatment group was given Tanreqing Injection combined with levofloxacin injection, while the control group was given levofloxacin injection only. The treatment course was 12 days. The clinical symptoms, signs, and sputum culture before and after treatment were observed. The clinical efficacy and the bacterial clearance rate of the two groups were compared. Results The markedly effective cases and the effective cases in the treatment group were 15 and 29 respectively, and those in the control group were 7 and 21 respectively, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The bacterial clearance rate was 89.5% (17/19) in the treatment group, while 55.6%(10/18) in the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Acute episode of chronic bronchitis treated by Tanreqing Injection combined with levofloxacin injectcion is more effective than levofloxacin injection only.

2h.The shape of bacterium was changed by amikacin from sphero-rhabditiform to dolicho-rhabditiform,while by ceftriaxone changed from rhabditiform to long-chain-form or filament-form.Conclusion The capability of ceftriaxone-induced release of endotoxin from Escherichia coli is significantly stronger than that of amikacin,and the morphologic changes of bacteria caused by ceftriaxone were more significant.For clinical treatmentg of infectious diseases the first dosage of medication should increase to reach the effective bactericidal concentration but not the bacteriostasis concentration in order to receive better therapeutic effects.

Objective To establish an expression system of TCR?9/?2-Fc protein by baculovirus vector expression system and identify biological function of expressed TCR?9/?2-Fc protein.Methods ?9Fc and ?2(OT3)Fc gene fragments were amplified by overlap PCR and inserted into expression vector pBACp10ph.The recombinant plasmid pBACp10ph-?9/?2(OT3)-Fc and the baculovirus DNA were co-transfected into sf9 cells.The expression position of TCR?9/?2(OT3)-Fc was identified by Western blot and the expression efficiency of ?9Fc and ?2(OT3)Fc was tested by flow cytometry(FCM).Furthermore,the binding activity of TCR?9/?2(OT3)-Fc protein with SKOV3 cells and MNS protein was evaluated with laser scanning confocal microslopy and surface plasmon resonance(SPR).Results The recombinant vector pBACp10ph-?9/?2(OT3)-Fc was constructed and TCR?9/?2(OT3)-Fc protein was expressed in sf9 cells.However,the expression efficiency of ?9Fc and ?2(OT3)Fc was quite different.It was proved that purified TCR?9/?2(OT3)-Fc protein can bind with SKOV3 cell and MNS protein.Conclusion TCR?9/?2-Fc protein is successfully expressed in baculovirus vector expression system and TCR?9/?2-Fc protein can simulate the binding activity of TCR in vitro.
