Objective To investigate the expressions and clinical significance of Ki-67,p53,and survivin in esophageal cancer and precancerosis.Methods The expressions of Ki-67,p53,and survivin proteins were detected by immunohistochemical staining in 40 normal esophageal mucosa,136 precancerosis (42 mild atypical hyperplasia,43 moderate atypical hyperplasia,and 51 severe atypical hyperplasia),and 68 esophageal cancer tissues.The correlation of three proteins expressed in esophageal carcinoma tissues was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of Ki-67 was 0 (0/40)for normal epithelium,35.7％ (15/42) for mild dysplasia,51.2％ (22/43) for moderate dysplasia,74.5％ (38/51) for severe dysplasia,92.6％ (63/68) for squamous carcinoma,respectively.The positive expression rate of p53 protein was 0 (0/40) for normal epithelium,28.6％ (12/42) for mild dysplasia,46.5％ (20/43) for moderate dysplasia,52.9％ (27/51) for severe dysplasia,67.6％ (46/68) for squamous carcinoma,respectively.The positive expression rate of survivin protein was 0 (0/40) for normal epithelium,38.1％ (16/42) for mild dysplasia,55.8％ (24/43) for moderate dysplasia,64.7％ (33/51) for severe dysplasia,89.7％ (61/68) for squamous carcinoma,respectively.Rank correlation analysis showed that abnormal expressions of Ki-67,p53,and survivin were correlated significantly with the pathological grading of the lesions (r =0.637,0.454,0.590,P ＜0.01).The expressions of Ki-67,p53,and survivin were positively correlated in esophageal carcinoma (r =0.407,0.646,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The abnormal expressions of Ki67,p53,and survivin were associated with the processes of the esophageal canceration,and the joint detection with three parameters has important clinical value.

We investigated the distribution characteristics of Yersinia enterocolitica in Ningxia ,China .In accordance with the requirements of the National Yersinia enterocolitica Disease Monitoring Scheme ,Y .enterocolitica were isolated from differ‐ent kinds of specimens collected in Ningxia in 2008 to 2013 .Then they were serotyped and detected for virulence gene and ana‐lyzed the pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in Chinese CDC .It was found that 173 strains were isolated from various types of 9 643 specimens ,and the detection rate was 1 .79% .There were statistical differences among detection rates in differ‐ent years and in different specimens (P<0 .01) .Pathogenic serotypes O∶3 and O∶9 carried ail gene and ystA gene were de‐tected from specimens of pigs and diarrhea patient .Non‐pathogenic serotypes O∶5 and O∶8 and non‐typeable strains didn't carry ail gene and ystA gene ,and also can't be detected from swine ,cattle ,sheep ,chickens and dogs .In conclusion ,Y .en‐terocolitica was widely distributed in Ningxia and pigs were the dominant animal host .In all pathogenic serotypes ,the highest proportion was O∶3 following by O∶9 .It was no time and regional difference in the distribution of that in Ningxia ,China .

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the changes of the semen quality in uremia patients before renal transplantation.

METHODSThe semen of 24 patients with uremia and 12 normal volunteers was analyzed.

RESULTSThe semen volume, sperm motility, survival rate, density and morphological normality percentage were (2.5 +/- 0.4) ml, (13.4 +/- 3.9)%, (25.4 +/- 5.6)%, (20.6 +/- 4.5) x 10(6)/ml and (16.8 +/- 2.1)%, respectively, significantly lower than those of the normal group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSemen qualities were lowered significantly and spermatogenesis severely affected in patients with uremia.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation of active inflammatory changes of the symphysis pubis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with clinical factors in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 112 patients with axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) in our hospital from February 2014 to November 2020. Patients were divided into 4 groups: symphysis pubis + sacroiliac arthritis, symphysis pubis + non-sacroiliac arthritis, non-symphysis pubis + sacroiliac arthritis, and non symphysis pubis + non-sacroiliac arthritis group. Intra-group correlation coefficient ( ICC) was used to analyze the correlation between MRI active inflammation of the symphysis pubis and the sacroilioarthritis. Age, sex, symptom duration, smoking, body mass index, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 positive rate, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) among the four groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Chi-square test. Results:The proportion of active inflammation of the symphysis pubis was 35.7% (40/112). There was no correlation between active inflammation of the symphysis pubis and sacroilioarthritis ( r=-0.06, P=0.559). Twenty-four patients of the 69 patients with sacroilioarthritis had active inflammation of the symphysis pubis, 16 patients of the 43 patients without sacroilioarthritis had active inflammation of the symphysis pubis. In patients without active inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, the CRP and ESR of the active inflammation of the symphysis pubis group was (49±60) mg/L, (40±19) mm/1 h, statistically higher than that of the non-active inflammation group (19±22) mg/L, (22±37) mm/1 h ( t=2.36, P=0.023; t=2.88, P=0.006). In patients who had active inflammation of the symphysis pubis, the symptom duration of the non-active inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, was (14±9) years, which was significantly longer than that of the active inflammation group (5±4) years ( t=4.07, P=0.001). Conclusion:There is no correlation between active inflammatory changes of the symphysis pubis and bone marrow edema of the sacroiliac joint. Therefore, in ax-SpA patients with inflammatory low back pain and/or hip/groin pain, and also with high levels of CRP, ESR, but no active inflammatory changes of the sacroiliac joint on MRI scans, active inflammation of the symphysis pubis should be considered.

Objective To observe the clinical and imaging features of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess syndrome(IKPLAS).Methods Data of 68 patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess(KPLA)were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into IKPLAS group(n=25)or non-IKPLAS group(n=43)according to extrahepatic invasive infection or not.Clinical data as well as CT and/or MRI findings were compared between groups.Results The patients'age was lower,while glycated hemoglobin and D-dimer levels were higher in IKPLAS group than those in non-IKPLAS group(all P＜0.05).Hepatic venous thrombophlebitis was detected in 18 cases in IKPLAS group and 6 cases in non-IKPLAS group,while arterial phase abnormal high perfusion around abscess was noticed in 10 cases in IKPLAS group and 28 cases in non-IKPLAS group,both being significantly different between groups(both P＜0.05).The extrahepatic infection in IKPLAS group mainly observed in lungs(19/25,76.00%).Conclusion The ages were lower,while glycated hemoglobin and D-dimer levels were both higher in IKPLAS than in the other KPLA patients.Often appeared hepatic venous thrombophlebitis and extrahepatic infection mainly affecting lungs were imaging characteristics of IKPLAS.
