Objective To observe the RASSF1A expression in laryngeal keratosis and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and investigate the relationship between the gene and the occurrence and development of this disease. Methods The specimens of keratosis of larynx(43 cases)and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(31 cases)in Oto-laryngology-Head and Neck surgery of Anhui provincial hospital from Dec 2009 to Dec 2012 were collected.Nor-mal vocal fold mucosa from the cadaveric head as control group(8 cases)were collected.Immunohistochemical meth-ods were used to detect the expression of RASSF1A protein in these tissues.The diffuse distribution of brown gran-ules in the cell cytoplasm yielded positive results and the nucleus was not coloring.The percentage of positive cells of every section,and the average standard deviation(￣x±s)were calculated.SPSS17.0 statistical analysis software was used to analyze the data,P<0.05 for the difference was statistically significant.ResuIts The RASSF1A expes-sion in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma,normal laryngeal mucosa,squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and la-ryngeal keratosis were compared.The differences of RASSF1A expression were statistically significant (P<0.05). The difference of RASSF1A expression in keratosis of larynx and normal laryngeal mucosa was not significant (P>0.05).RASSF1A expression in the clinical stage from I to IV of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma gradually de-clined.During the clinical stage,the difference had statistics significance (P<0.05 ).In high differentiated squa-mous cell carcinoma,moderately differentiated squamous and poorly differentiated squamous,the differences of RASSF1A expression were insignificant (P>0.05).ConcIusion The reduction of RASSF1A expression correlated with laryn-geal squamous cell carcinoma,which has certain significance for the different ion of carcinoma and laryngeal precan-cerous lesion.

Objective To investigate the changes of heart function after pacing in right ventricular inlet septum(RVIS) and right ventricular apex(RVA). Methods VVI pacing was performed in 64 patients who were randomly divided into two groups: RVIS group (33 patients) and RVA group (31 patients). The changes of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),pacing parameters and QRS interval were assessed in 24 hours, 3 months and 1 year after the ventricle was paced effectively. Results When the ventricle was paced effectively,the pacing parameters,including voltage threshold and electrode impedance were similar in different stages between the two groups. In 24 hours, 3 months and 1 year after the ventricle was paced effectively,the QRS interval in RVIS group were obviously narrower than those in RVA group [( 128.0±28.6 ) ms vs ( 150.0 ± 37.1 ) ms, ( 131.0±21.5 ) ms vs ( 153.0 ±28.5 ) ms, ( 130.0 ±19.7 ) ms vs ( 155.0±20.2) ms, P < 0.05 ]. After treatment, the level of serum BNP increased significantly in two groups. The BNP level in R VIS group was significantly lower than that in RVA group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The R VIS pacing is not only as safe and effective as RVA pacing, but also is more consistent with the physiological ventricular activation sequence.

Objective To analyze the treatment and pathogenetic condition of chronic heart failure of coro -nary heart disease(CHD) and ventricular arrhythmia (VA).Methods 100 patients with chronic heart failure were collected to observe the treatment of chronic heart failure and pathogenetic condition of VA .Results 44 cases occured VA and 56 cases without VA in 100 patients.NT-proBNP(3 110.00 ±522.00)pg/mL of VA group was sig-nificantly higher than that (2 200.00 ±486.00)pg/mL of non-VA group(t=8.996,P<0.05).LVEF(0.25 ± 0.08) of VA group was lower than that of non -VA group(0.41 ±0.98) (t=11.625,P<0.05).The occurrence (100.00%) of premature ventricular contraction ( PVC) of ≥70mm group in left ventricular internal diameter (LVID) was higher than that of 60 -69mm group (60.87%),50 -59mm group (37.04%),40 -49mm group
(15.38%) with statistically significant(χ2 =5.853,12.532,27.375,all P<0.05).The amount(44.20 ±12.90)mg of use βreceptor blockers of amiodarone group was significantly lower than that of non -amiodarone group(44.20 ± 12.90)mg (t=5.284,P<0.05).Conclusion NT-proBNP of CHEF of CHD and VA patients will improve and amiodarone can reduce the amount of use anti -heart failure drug .

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and the clinical significance of Clusterin protein in invasive ductal breast cancer.MethodsThe expression of Clusterin protein in 70 cases of invasive ductal breast cancer,20 cases of breast hyperplasia,and 10 cases of adjacent normal breast tissue was examined with SP immunohistochemistry (IHC),and their correlation with some clinicopathological parameters were studied.ResultsClusterin expression was detected in 71.4％of breast cancer tissues,which was significantly higher than that in benign lesions (20.0 ％) and adjacent normal tissues (0) (x2 =17.143,P ＜ 0.05; x2 =19.048,P ＜ 0.05).Clusterin expression in breast cancer was relevant to the histological grade (x2 =5.233,P ＜ 0.05),lymph node metastasis (x2 =4.677,P ＜ 0.05),and the progression in the clinical stage (x2 =4.667,P ＜ 0.05),but irrelevant to the age (x2 =0.024,P ＞ 0.05) and tumor size (x2 =0.406,P ＞ 0.05).Clusterin expression was negatively correlated to the expression of ER and PR in breast cancer tissues (r =-0.362,P ＜ 0.05 and r =-0.290,P ＜ 0.05,respectively),but uncorrelated with C-erbB-2 expression(r =0.129,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Clusterin overexpressed in breast cancer tissues suggests an important role of clusterin in invasive ductal breast cancer carcinogenesis and development through inhibition of cell apoptosis. It may become new clinical diagnosis marker for breast cancer and novel target for breast cancer therapy.

The cholesterol esterase and its oxidase were respectively immobilized onto sol-gel(tetraethyl orthosilicate)and then an enzymatic reaction column was prepared. Hydrolysis of cholesterol ester took place in the presence of cholesterol esterase to form cholesterol under catalysis of cholesterol oxidase, and Cholesterol was oxidized to produce hydrogen peroxide which reacted with luminal in the presence of simulated enzyme hemoglobin to result in the emission of light. Thereupon, a chemiluminescence system combined with flow injection technology by sol-gel immobilized enzyme was developed for the determination of cholesterol including free and total amount in human serum. The CL intensity was well linear with the concentration of cholesterol;liner range of total and free cholesterol was 1.01×10~(-6)～2.02×10~(-4) mol/L with a detection limit of 7.5×10~(-7) mol/L) and 5.0×10~(-8)～2.18×10~(-5) mol/L) with a detection limit of 5.0×10~(-9) mol/L respectively. Contrasted the method) with the biochemical analyzer (TBA-120FR), both the methods had no significant difference. This method has been successfully applied for the detection of cholesterol in clinic serum samples.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic effect of intranasal endoscopic surgery on inverted papilloma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ. METHODS According to the staging system developed by John H.Krouse,30 cases with inverted papilloma in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were treated by intronasal endscopic surgery and were followed up for 24 months. RESULTS The inverted papilloma was removed completely and no serious complications occurred. One case recurred at 10 month after surgery and pathologically proved to be cancerated. Another 2 case recurred at 6 and 7 month after surgery respectively. Recurred tumors were removed again, no recurrences occurred in the following up period. The recurrence rate was 10 % and canceration rate was 3.3 %. CONCLUSION Endoscopic surgery is an effective method in management of the inverting papilloma in nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation and analyze the characteristics of balance function in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to find out the importance of proprioception, vision and vestibular in postural control. METHOD: All subjects were divided into two groups, 37 normal individuals, 33 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. All were assessed by computerized posturography under six upright stance.conditions: including standing on the firm surface and foam with eyes open and closed. RESULT: (1) On anteroposterior,the scores of proprioception, vision and vestibular were 93.96 ± 7.95, 80.22 ± 16.24, 70.87 ± 20.99, the normal were 98.00 ± 2.18, 91.44 ± 6.01, 80.44 ± 7.81. There were significances between diabetes mellitus group and normal control group (P < 0.05) respectively. (2) On lateral, the scores of vision and vestibular were 80.39 ± 12.60, 73.96 ± 16.04, and the normal were 92.11 ± 4.50, 83.18 ± 9.45. There were significances with P < 0.05 between diabetes mellitus group and normal control group. However, there was no obvious difference in proprioception scores between the two groups. (3) The limit of stability of normal group were (176.47 ± 44.13) mm²; diabetic group was (143.13 ± 62.30) mm². There was statistical significance between the group with P < 0.05. (In diabetic patients, there was no significant difference between the no dizziness group and the dizziness group of the scores of proprioceptive, visual, vestibular as well as stable limits, P > 0.05. CONCLUSION The balance function of patients with type 2 diabetes decreased. It is the main characteristic that the vision and vestibular decreased more significantly in the postural control.

Growth stimulating gene 2 (ST2) protein is a member of the interleukin-1 receptor family. It is mainly divided into a soluble secreted form sST2 and a transmembrane form ST2L. sST2 is a decoy receptor that competitively binds to interleukin-33 to block the interleukin-33/ST2L signaling pathway, worsening myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and ventricular dysfunction. Measuring sST2 is of important value for diagnosis and/or prognosis evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. This paper mainly reviews the research progress in the relationship between cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, coronary heart disease, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, acute aortic dissection, and pulmonary hypertension, and sST2.

OBJECTIVE To explore and evaluate the value of CT in diagnosis of malignant tumor of maxillary sinus and the accuracy of the involved bone wall by comparing the preoperative CT imaging with the pathologic examination.METHODS 11 patients without maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma and lymph node metastasis received pathological examination and enhanced CT scan before operation,partial or total maxillary resection were implemented according to the CT features and scope.The position and azimuth of the cut bone tissue samples were marked.The specimens were routinely fixed,decalcified,embedded,sliced and HE stained to observe the bone tissue pathological changes on the bone wall under light microscope.RESULTS Nasal sinus enhancement CT scan showed that the medial wall of maxillary sinus were all resorped and invaded(4 cases lack inner wall).Anterior wall was invaded in 6 cases,superior wall in 7 cases and bottom wall in 3 cases,posterior and exterior wall in 9 cases;After ruling out the cases without internal wall of maxillary sinus,the inner wall of the maxillary sinus was invaded by cancer cells,so was the front wall and the bottom wall.Those showed bone wall erosion on preoperative CT with continuous change but without interruption and accompanied by bone wall thickening and hardening were found without tumor invasion by postoperative pathological verification.CONCLUSION Bone wall damage on preoperative CT does not mean tumor invasion,and the probability of each maxillary sinus wall invasion is different;the comprehensive analysis found that for wormhole like change of bone wallon preoperative CT with continuous bone wall thickening and hardening of the 'reconstruction of bone destruction',there was no tumor invasion by postoperative pathological validation;Routine selection analysis of bone tissue pathology can supplement the extent diagnosis of malignant tumor of maxillary sinus on preoperative CT scan,so it can accurately estimate the T staging of tumor.It may provide a more effective basis for selection of minimally invasive surgery,postoperative evaluation of surgical effect and formulating more comprehensive treatment protocol.
