Objective To investigate the correlation between degree of deeper infiltration of NPC on CT scan,prognosis and expression of P53 protein,in order to further recognize bilogical features of NPC.Methods Collect 70 NPC biopsy specimens,which had performed CT scan before radiotherapy and had detailed clinical records.The expression of P53 protein was examined by means of S-P immunohistochemical technique.The correlation between expression of P53 protein and peripheral deeper infiltration and prognosis was analysed in detailed.Results The results of these cases showed that the positive rate of over expression P53 were 68.57%,which had no relation with the histological types and pathological grades.The positive rate of P53 in Ⅱ、Ⅲ types had a higher positive rate than that of the Ⅰ type of NPC.Expression of P53 protein had no relation with neck lymph node metastasis,but had significant correlation with the size of metastatic lymph node,which is the positive rate of P53 in diameter of metastatic lymph node <4 cm was higher than that of diameter ≥4 cm.Expression of P53 had no relation with local recurrence and distant metastasis after radiotherapy.Conclusion With the tumor infiltrating the deeper layer of nasopharynx,the positive rate of P53 expression is more and more high,and degree of malignant is increasing.The three types on CT scan represents the biological features of NPC.

Objective To investigate the association between prenatal monitoring index in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and the perinatal prognosis,as well as the characteristics of perinatal situations.Methods A retrospective study on the clinical data of 88 cases intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and prognosis that were treated in our hospital from Jan.2011 to Jan.2014 was carried out.Relationship between prenatal monitoring index in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and perinatal prognosis,together with the epidemiological features of infants were analyzed.Results The incidence rates of perinatal meconium stained amniotic fluid,asphyxia neonatorum,premature and fetal distress were significantly higher in the study group than those in the controls,with differences statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of CG,ALT,AST,TBIL,DBIL and TBA in puerperant with bad perinatal situation were significantly higher than puerperant with good perinatal situation,with the difference statistically significant (P<0.05).Results from the multiple regression analysis indicated that close relations did exist between CG,ALT,AST,TBIL,TBA and adverse perinatal prognosis.The main perinatal risks were related to meconium stained amniotic fluid (33.3%),prematurity (28.6%),fetal distress (20.6%),asphyxia neonatorum (15.9%) and stillbirth (1.6%).Conclusion The rate of adverse perinatal prognosis was low in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy,with most frequently seen as meconium stained amniotic fluid.It was necessary to monitor the level of prenatal CG,ALT,AST,TBIL and TBA in puerperant in predicting the perinatal prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the species and distribution of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne arboviruses in Yuncheng city of Shanxi province, China.
METHODSMosquito samples were collected in 19 collection sites from Linyi county and Yongji city in Yuncheng city, in August, 2012. After identification and classification, all the specimens were homogenized and centrifuged to acquire supernatant before being inoculated to both C6/36 and BHK21 cells for viral isolation. Positive isolates were identified with arbovirus species-specific primers under RT-PCR, for further sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.
RESULTSA total of 10 455 mosquitoes of 7 species in 4 genuese were collected. The predominant mosquito species in Linyi county was Culex pipens pallens (91.96%, 3 911/4 253), but the one in Yongji city was Culex tritaeniorhynchus (72.85%, 4 518/6 202). A total of 23 strains of viruses were isolated from the mosquito pools. 15 strains from Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Culex pipens pallens were identified as genotype I Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV). Four strains from Culex pipens pallens were identified as Culex flavivirus (CxFV). Three strains from Culex pipens pallens were identified as Culex pipiens pallens densovirus (CppDNV). One strain from Armigeres subalbatus and Aedes albopictus was identified as Getah virus (GETV).
CONCLUSIONFour kinds of arboviruses were isolated from the mosquito pools, including GETV and CxFV, which were isolated and documented in Shanxi province for the first time. In the city of Yuncheng, Culex tritaeniorhynchus had been the predominant species and major vector for transmitting JEV. Genotype I JEV remained the major JEV circulating in the local natural environment.
