Objective To study histological and cytological characteristics of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum by needle biopsy. Methods Needle biopsy specimens of 19 cases of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum were studied with pathological, cytological, histochemical and immunohistochemical staining examination. Results Of 19 cases, 12 were males and 7 were females, with a mean age of 58.1 years. Histopathlogical examination of needle biopsy specimens revealed that 10 of them were tubulopapillary. 3 undifferentiated. 1 signet ringoid cell, 1 small cell, 2 of low-grade malignant cystic cell and 2 of myofibroblastic cell types. 16 cases were positive by cytology smear but 3 negative. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the neoplastic cells of all cases were positive for keratin, vimentin, EMA, antimesothelial cell antigen and CI but negative for HCI. Conclusion The diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum can be established by its clinical manifestation, combined with pathological, cytological, histochemical staining and immunohisitochemical staining of specimens obtained by ultrasound guided needle biopsy.

Objective To study the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of low-grade malignant cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum (LGMCMP). Methods 25 cases of LGMCMP were analyzed retrospectively on their clinicopathologic features and immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings, therapeutic approach and prognosis were also studied. Results Of 25 cases, 18 were females and 7 were males with a mean age of 39.6 years (range 16-84 years). According to their imaging characteristics, symptoms and physical signs, three morphological patterns of these tumors were found, i.e. localized cystic mass, multiple cystic nodules and diffuse cystic nodules. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the neoplastic cells were positive for CK, Vimentin, EMA, and anti-mesothelial cell antigen. Histochemically, the tumors were positive for CI but negative for HCI. Electron microscopic study of 11 cases revealed that the neoplastic cells had profuse slender microvilli on cell surface, large amount of microfilaments (tono-filaments) and abundant desmosomes. Conclusion LGMCMP is an uncommon neoplasm of low-grade malignancy, generally occurring in young women with distinct clinicopathologic features.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the classification and antibiotics resistance of Staphylococcus in children with septicemia in recent two years and to provide data for clinical treatment. METHODS All the blood specimens delivered by pediatrics were identified and detected the antibiotic resistance with Microscan Auto SCAN4. RESULTS Totally 268 Staphylococcus strains were collected. Among them,S. aureus was 114 strains (42.5%),coagulase-negative Staphylococcus were 154 srains. Among 114 S. aureus strains,meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were 79 strains (69.3%). Among 154 coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains,meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus (MRCNS) were 102 strains (66.2%). The drug sensitivity results showed that meticillin-resistant staphylococcus (MRS) were highly resistant to 15 commnly used antibiotics than meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus (MSS) and showing multi-drug resistance. No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.CONCLUSIONS Children with septicemia infected by Staphylococcus are increasing recently. Identification and antibiotic resistance of clinical isolated Staphylococcus must be strengthened,and give the effective data for clinicians.

Objective To explore the mechanism of long chain noncoding RNA RORin regulating prolifer-ation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell. Methods Pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 was selected. The RNA level of lncRNA ROR and notch1 was detected by RT-PCR.Notch1 protein level was detected by Western blot. The regulating relationship between lncRNA ROR and notch1 was analyzedby RNAhybird and luciferase re-porter assay. At last ,CCK-8 and TUNEL were applied to detectthe proliferation and apoptosis of cell line. Re-sults lncRNA ROR and notch1 were highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissue ,compared with normal tis-sues. There was positive correlation between them. lncRNA ROR was over-expressed in BxPC-3,cell proliferation activity was increased and the percentagesof DNA damaged positive cells was decreased ,accompanied by in-creased levels of notch1 mRNA and protein. Luciferase assay confirmed that ROR could bind to notch1and inhibit its activity by miR-137. Compared with control group ,the proliferation of pcDNA-ROR + si-notch1 cells reduced and the proportion of TUNEL positive cells increased. The differences were statistically significant. Conclusionl ncRNA ROR regulated the proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells by promoting the expression of notch1.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different does of remifenanil combined with propofol for colonoscopy.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 35-63 yr,weighing 45-72 kg,scheduled for elective painless outpatient colonoscopy,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each):remifentanil 0.2 μg/kg group (group Ⅰ),remifentanil 0.5 μg/kg group (group lⅡ) and remifentanil 1.0 μg/kg group (group Ⅲ).In groups Ⅰ-Ⅲ,remifentanil 0.2,0.5 and 1.0μg/kg were injected over 60 s,respectively,and then propofol 1.0 mg/kg was injected intravenously for induction.The colonoscope was inserted after loss of eyelash reflex.When body movement appeared during examination,remifentanil 0.1 μg/kg + propofol 0.5 mg/kg,remifentanil 0.25 μg/kg + propofol 0.5 mg/kg,and remifentanil 0.5μg/kg+ propofol 0.5 mg/kg were added in groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ,respectively.The operation time,induction time,emergence time,examination room discharge time,and body movement,hypotension,bradycardia,hypoxemia and respiratory depression during operation were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the operation time,induction time,emergence time,and examination room discharge time between the three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group Ⅰ,the incidence of body movement was significantly decreased,and the incidences of hypotension and respiratory depression were increased in group Ⅱ,and the incidence of body movement was significantly decreased,and the incidences of hypotension,hypoxemia,bradycardia and respiratory depression were increased in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of hypoxemia,bradycardia and respiratory depression were significantly higher in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The optimum dose of remifentanil is 0.5 μg/kg when combined with propofol for colonoscopy.
