Objective To investigate the methylation status of E-cadherin(E-cad)and its protein expression in human small bowel adenocarcinomas(SBAC),and the association of these findings with clinico-pathological characteristics.Methods E-cad gene hypermethylation and its protein expression in 36 patients with primary SBAC and the paired adjacent tissues were tested by methylation-specific PCR(MSP)assay and immunohistochemistry(IHC)respectively.Data associated with clinico-pathological characteristics was analyzed.Results The hypermethylation frequency of E-cad was 38.9% in cancerous tissues and 8.3% in adjacent tissues(P＜0.01).The positive rate of E-cad expression was 41.7% in cancerous tissues and 97.2% in adjacent tissues(P＜0.01).Twelve out of 21 cases without protein expression revealed methylated(P＜0.01).Methylation status was closely related to E-cad protein expression in SBAC.The hypermethylation of E-cad gene and the expression Of E-cad protein were significantly correlated with the depth of invasion,the differentiation and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05),but were not correlated with other clinico-pathologic parameters such as age,sex,tumor size or location(P＞0.05).Conclusions The hypermethylation of E-cad gene can down regulate the protein expression,which closely related to the depth of invasion,the differentiation and lymph node metastasis.

Objective To explore the influence of catheterization for urinary tract infections and the importance of humanistic nursing. Methods Totally 248 patients who were admitted into our hospital from February 2013 to April 2014 were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group (117 cases) were given spray fungicide and regular disinfection of urethra by nursing staff, and patients in the observation group (131 cases) were nursed by themselves or their family after been taught the way of spraying fungicide and cleaning. Ana-lyzed the psychological status, routine urine, urinary tract infections, nursing job satisfaction of the patients, and the relevant data were ana-lyzed by SPSS 17. 0 software. Results The third day after placing urinary catheter urethra, the relevant nursing can reduce the rate of urina-ry tract infections in patients. the difference of the two groups was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The rate of urinary tract infections at the seventh day after placing urinary catheter urethra was 39. 69% in the observation group and 41. 03% in the control group, the difference of the two groups was not statistically significant (P >0. 05). Infection rate of male patients (29. 01%) is higher than female patients (10. 69%). The satisfaction rate of urethra care in the observation group was 87. 79%, and the satisfaction rate of other project were all higher than 92. 5%. The satisfaction rate of urinary tract nursing check in the control group was 79. 49%, and the satisfaction rate of nurse-patient communication was 83. 76%. It was found that the difference of communication between nurses and patients, service attitude and the urethra care were statistically significant. Conclusion It can reduce the rate of urinary tract infection after placing urinary catheter in pa-tients for 7 days and nursed by patients themselves with spraying fungicide and cleaning. Strengthen the humanistic nursing care can improve nursing satisfaction.

Objective To evaluate the effects of acute peritonitis on rocuronium?induced neuromus?cular blockade in abdominal muscles and function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of rats. Methods Thirty?six pathogen?free male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 220-250 g, were divided into 2 groups using a ran?dom number table: control group (group C, n=12) and acute peritonitis group (group P, n=24). After the rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, acute peritonitis was induced by artificial gastric per?foration in group P. At 1 and 2 h after operation, the changes in the intra?abdominal pressure (IAP) with different volumes were detected, and blood samples were collected from the orbital veins for determination of serum levels of interleukin?6, tumor necrosis factor?alpha and interleukin?13. Rocuronium 3. 5 mg∕kg was then injected via the caudal vein. The IAP was recorded at 1, 5 and 10 min after administration. The intra?cellular free Ca2+ concentration was assessed using fura?2, and the maximal Ca2+ uptake and release rate in the sarcoplasmic reticulum were calculated. Results Compared with group C, the serum levels of interleu?kin?6 and tumor necrosis factor?alpha at 2 h after operation and IAP at 1 and 2 h after operation were signifi?cantly increased, the IAP was increased at 1, 5 and 10 min after administration of rocuronium, and the maximal Ca2+ uptake rate and amount of calcium uptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum were decreased in group P ( P<0.01) . Conclusion Acute peritonitis decreases rocuronium?induced neuromuscular blockade in abdominal muscles, which may be related to the impaired Ca2+uptake function of the sarcoplasmic reticu?lum of rats.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the malondialdehyde (MDA) level and paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity in the serum and seminal plasma of infertile men with chronic viral hepatitis and their influence on the semen parameters of the patients.

METHODSWe collected serum and semen samples from 42 infertile men, 45 infertile males with chronic viral hepatitis, and 50 healthy fertile men as controls. We measured the MDA level in the serum and seminal plasma by spectrophotometry, detected the PON-1 activity by spectrophotometry, and determined the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) by acridine orange fluorescence staining.

RESULTSThe MDA level was significantly higher but the PON-1 activity remarkably lower in the serum and seminal plasma of the infertile males with chronic viral hepatitis than in the healthy controls and infertile patients (P <0.01 or P <0.05). Total sperm motility and sperm survival rate were significantly lower while the sperm DFI markedly higher in the former than in the latter two groups (P <0.01 or P <0.05). No statistically significant difference was found among the three groups in sperm concentration (P >0.05). The WBC counts in the semen of the infertile and infertile with chronic viral hepatitis groups were significantly higher than that in the health controls (P <0.05). The MDA level and PON-1 activity in the seminal plasma were positively correlated with those in the serum in the infertile males with chronic viral hepatitis (r=0.57 or 0.48, P <0.01).

CONCLUSIONVirus-induced chronic active hepatitis enhances oxidative stress in the reproductive system, aggravates sperm damage, and affects sperm quality parameters.
