Objective To investigate the formation mechanism of string beads sign in peripheral small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and evaluate the significance of it in differential diagnosis among SCLC,peripheral lung adenocarcinoma and peripheral lung squa-mous cell carcinoma.Methods 78 cases of SCLC,69 cases of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma and 33 cases of peripheral lung squa-mous cell carcinoma,confirmed pathologically were included in this study.The positive rates of string beads sign,mediastinal lymph node metastasis and mediastinal lymph nodes larger than primary lung lesions were calculated and analyzed in these three groups.Results 10 out of SCLC cases (12.8%)have string beads sign,in which all mediastinal lymph nodes were larger than lung lesions.Mediasti-nal lymph node metastases were observed in 63(80.8%)of 78 cases,and 42 (53.8%)cases had larger mediastinal lymph nodes than lung lesions.No string beads sign was observed in patients with peripheral solid lung adenocarcinomas,but 25 of 69 cases (36.2%) have mediastinal lymph node metastasis and 2 cases (2.9%)had larger mediastinal lymph nodes than lung lesions.13 cases(39.4%) of 33 patients with peripheral lung squamous cell carcinomas had mediastinal lymph node metastasis,and 6 cases (16.7%)had larger mediastinal lymph nodes than lung lesions.The statistical results showed the positive rate of string beads sign was not significantly different between peripheral SCLC group and peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma group,but that of mediastinal lymph node and larger mediastinal lymph nodes than lung lesions were statistically different among these three groups.Conclusion To some extent, string beads sign on CT could reflect the biologic character of SCLC.It played an important role in differential diagnosis of peripheral SCLC,peripheral lung adenocarcinoma and periph-eral lung squamous cell carcinoma,but it should be combined with mediastinal lymph node size.

Objective To study the effects of metformin on proliferation and apoptosis of oral squamous cells so as to create a new path for the treatment of oral carcinoma.Methods CAL27 cells were treated with different dosage of metformin(5,10,20 mmol/L)for 24,48, and 72 hours.The number of apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and TUNEL.The autophagic vacuole was detected by immunofluores-cence.The expression of hallmark of apoptosis and autophagy was detected by Western blot.Results Metformin could induce apoptosis in CAL27 cells.The CL-PARP and Bcl-2 expression significantly increased.In line with the apoptosis,metformin can trigger autophagy in CAL27 cells.The expression of LC3,Beclin-1 and GFP-LC3 positive autophagosomes were increased by metformin.Metformin inhibit the expression of STAT3 and mTOR signaling pathways at the same time might be the possible reasons of the autophagy.And inhibited autophagy could en-hance metformin induced Caspase-3 activity in CAL27 cells.Conclusion Inactivation of STAT3 and mTOR pathway contributes to metform-in-induced autophagy.Inhibited autophagy could enhance metformin induced apoptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective In order to understand the content and effect of health education in military professional education, and provide the basis for the improvement of teaching.Methods Through the methods of quantitative and qualitative research, totally 113 students in the class of health education and health promotion were selected to conduct questionnaire survey between 2010 and 2014.Results Most students think it should be appropriate to increase the hours of work organization of basic level troops and epidemic prevention, which account for 68.14％ (n=77), increase the hours of health education practice, which account for 63.72％ (n=72).40.71％ (n=46) of the students think should be appropriate to reduce the communication in language art and skill teaching hours.Some students think that other contents are helpful to their work units except that environment and health are not helping to their own work units.For individuals, the contents are all useful for themselves, especially the health education practice, PPT production skills and material picture processing.Students are satisfied with the contents of health education.Conclusion In the future, we should increase the learning hours for health education, optimize the teaching content and strengthen the network construction to enhance the professional education teaching quality.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of microvascular anastomotic devices in free anterolateral thigh flap in the recon-struction of oral carcinoma defects.Methods From September 2013 to September 2014,52 patients with oral cancer were treated by func-tional neck cleaning,primary tumors resection,and free anterolateral thigh flap in the reconstruction.Of which 27 patients received free of femoral anterolateral flap to repair veins by using microsurgical line end to end anastomosis.And 25 pieces of microvascular anastomotic ad-vices were applied in 25 patients with oral carcinoma defects.The length of anastomosis time,flap survival rate,and complications were recor-ded.Results In 52 patients,microvascular anastomotic devices were applied in 25 veins with shorter anastomosis time,(6.3 ±1.9)min vs. (12.3 ±1.4)min,and the difference was significant(P =0.001).The flap survival rate and vascular anastomosis patency rate was 100%.No intra-and post-operative complications such as blood leak,stapling,excessive tension and tear,thrombosis in flap vein crisis associated with microvascular anastomotic devices were observed.Twenty-seven patients with 40 root vein received manual microsurgical anastomosis,2 of them showed vein crisis.Conclusion The microvascular anastomotic devices used in repairing the soft tissue defects by anterolateral thigh flap with venous anastomosis for patients of oral cancer after surgery has the advantage of higher quality,shorter time and less complications.

Objective To investigate the relationship between angiotensin Ⅱ ( AngⅡ) and transformation of vascular fibroblasts phenotype .Methods Eighteen rats were randomly assigned into the untreated group , mini-pump infusion of saline group and mini-pump infusion of AngⅡgroup which was used as the hypertension model .Their systolic pressure and vascular morphology were examined .The expression of catalase ( CAT ) and 4HNE was examined by immunohistochemistry .Western blotting was used to examine the expression of CAT of adventitial fibroblasts which were cultured by different incubation times and concentrations of Ang Ⅱ.Results Compared with untreated and mini-pump infusion of saline groups , the systolic pressure and carotid media thickness stained by HE of mini-pump infusion of AngⅡgroup were significantly higher (P<0.01).The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of CAT ofAngⅡgroup was significantly lower than that of untreated group , however the expression of 4HNE of AngⅡgroupwas higher than that of untreated group (P<0.05).Furthermore, the results of Western blotting indicated that the effect of Ang Ⅱ on down-regulation of CAT function was in a dose and incubation time dependent manner .Conclusion AngⅡdown-regulates adventitial CAT expression and promotes fibroblasts phenotypic transformation which leads to pathological arterial vascular remodeling .

OBJECTIVETo explore therapeutic effects of modified anterolateral approach and traditional approach in treating distal tibiofibula fractures.

METHODSFrom September 2009 to December 2012,45 patients with distal tibiofibula fractures were performed reduction and interal fixation with modified anterolateral and traditional approaches. According to Ruedi-All-gower classification, 12 cases were type I ,26 cases were type II, 7 cases were type III. Among 45 patients,there were 16 males and 7 females with an average age of (36.3 +/- 7.2) years old (ranged from 23 to 47) years old in advanced group; while there were 14 males and 8 females with an average of (33.8 +/- 6.4) years old (ranged from 25 to 45) in tradtional group. Operation time, blood loss, complications of incision were compared, and AOFAS scores were evaluated.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 6 to 36 months with an average of 21.7 months. In traditional group, operation time was (74.7 +/- 9.9) min, blood loss was (94.4 +/- 10.4) ml, and (73.7 +/- 10.0) min, (100.8 +/- 12.1) ml in advanced group,there was no significant meaning between two groups (P > 0.05); complications of insicion of advanced group was better than that of traditional group (chi2 = 4.078, P < 0.05); AOFAS score in advanced group (86.1 +/- 9.4) was better than that of traditional group, and had significant meaning (t = 3.787, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONModified anterolateral group,which has advantages of rapid recovery, less complications, is a good choice for closed distal tibiofibula fractures.
