Objective To explore the role of Annexin Ⅱ and urokinase-type plasminogen activator(uPA) proteins in the development and lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Annexin Ⅱ and uPA proteins in 35 cases of papillary thyroid cancer tissues,10 cases of thyroid adenoma tissues,16 cases of nodular goiter tissues and 7 cases of normal thyroid tissues.Results The positive expression rate of Annexin Ⅱ and uPA protein was significantly higher in papillary thyroid cancer than in normal thyroid tissues,nodular goiter tissues and thyroid adenoma tissues( P ＜0.05 ).The expression of Annexin Ⅱ and uPA protein was positively correlated in papillary thyroid cancer tissues(P ＜0.05).The expression of Annexin Ⅱ protein in thyroid cancer tissues was associated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis while the expression of uPA protein was only related to lymph node metastasis.Conclusions Annexin Ⅱ and uPA proteins are involved in the occurrence and development of papillary thyroid cancer.They also play a facilitating role in lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the cause,diagnosis and treatment measures of neonatal pneumothorax.MethodsThe clinical data of 98 cases with neonatal pneumothorax in our hospital from Mar 2005 to Mar 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 27 premature neonates and 71 full-term neonates in the 98 cases.Ten cases were spontaneous pneumothorax and 88 cases were non spontaneous pneumothorax.After the treatnent of primary disease,pleural aspiration,chest drainage and mechanical ventilation,88 cases were cured,8 cases were improved and 2 cases died.ConclusionNeonatal pneumothorax is related with cesarean section,improper use of endotracheal intubation,meconium aspiration,premature hyaline membrane disease using pulmonary surfactant and ventilator therapy.Most pneumothorax is due to lung disease.The prevention of preterm birth and asphyxia can reduce the incidence of neonatal pneumothorax.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of P53 protein and the radiosensitivity in patients with advanced maxillary squamous cell carcinoma.Methods An immunohistochomical method wag used to detect the expression of P53 protein in patients with advanced maxillary squamous cell carcinoma.The follow up time was 2 years.The local recurrence of the patients having been treated with radical surgery and affiliated radiotheraphy were analyzed.Results The overexpression of P53 protein in 26 cages was 65.4% (17/26).In the P53 overexpression group,the local recurrence after systiem therapy wag occurred in one case within 6 months,6 cages between 7～12 months.3 cages between 13～18 months and 2 cases between 19～24 months.In the P53 low expression group,there were no recurrence within 6 and 12 months and one case ocurred within 18 months.5 cages between 19～24 months.The difference of recurrence within 18 months after system therapy between the expression of P53 Wag statistically significant(P＜0.05),but it Wag not significant for those within 24 months(P＞0.05).Conclusions The expression of P53 protein Wag correlated with the radiosensitivity in patient with advaneed maxillary squamous cell carciaoma,especially for the resid.rod cells in mitosis phase.The affiliated radiotherapy after radical surgery Wag limited effect.

BACKGROUND: Blood pressure of children increases with ages, and is related to anthropometric parameters, diet, sports, and other factors. To analyze relative factor of a little high blood pressure of children provides a scientific evidence for prevention and cure of primary hypertension. OBJECTIVE: To investigate correlation between blood pressure and anthropometric parameters among children. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Department of Hygiene of Weifang Medical College. PARTICIPANTS: According to cluster sampling, 1 546 pupils in grade three or four were selected from a primary school for physical examination and questionnaires. Totally 1 508 pupils with complete data were regarded as the subjects.METHODS: Partial correlation analysis was used to analyze correlation between blood pressure and anthropometric parameters among children.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Correlation among anthropometric parameters, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.RESULTS: ① Correlation coefficients of systolic pressure with sex, age, height, body mass, chest circumference of Peason were 0.078, 0.166, 0.337, 0.313 and 0.304 (P ＜ 0.01). ② Correlation coefficients of diastolic pressure with sex, age, height, body mass, chest circumference of Peason were 0.047, 0.120, 0.268, 0.271 and 0.251 (P ＜ 0.01). ③ After controlling two effect of anthropometric parameters on each other, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were only correlated with height and chest circumference (P ＜ 0.01), but was not correlated with age, sex and body mass (P ＞ 0.05). CONCLUSION: After controlling the effect of anthropometric parameters on each other, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of children were positively correlated with height and chest circumference.

Objective To assess the renal protective effects of triptolide treatment in type 2 diabetic rats and its possible mechanisms.Methods Wistar rats were randomized to receive following approach control (n=7),dia- betic model without treatment (n=7) and diabetic group treated with triptolide[200 ?g/(kg?d),n=7].Plasma glucose (PG),serum creatinine (Scr),total cholesterin (TC),triglyeride (TG),kidney mass (KM),index number of kidney hypertrophy (KM/body mass,KM/BM),and 24 hours urinary albumin (24 h UAL) were determined. The protein expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1),osteopontin (OPN) and ED-1 in renal tissue were determined by immunohistochemical technique.The mRNA expressions of MCP-1 and OPN in kidney tissue were assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Elevated 24 h UAL was markedly attenuated by triptolide treatment [24 h UAL,triptolide:2.32?0.29 vs diabetic model group:3.89? 0.51 mg/mgCr,P

Objective To investigate an association between Toll-like receptor(TLR)4 Asp299Gly or CD14 C-260T polymorphisms and colorectal cancer in Chinese patients.Methods By a method of polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP), TLR4 Asp299Gly and CD14 C-260T polymorphisms in unrelated 110 patients with colorectal cancer and 160 healthy controls in Chinese Han race population were genotyped.Results Significant differences of CD14 genotypes were found between healthy controls and the patients with colorectal cancer.The fre- quency of the CC genotype in healthy controls was extremely lower than that in the group of colorectal cancer(15.6% vs.31.8%,P=0.0027,OR=0.3968,95%CI:0.2209-0.7129)while the frequency of the CT genotype in healthy controls was significantly higher than that in the group of colorectal cancer (48.1% vs.30.9%,P=0.0056,OR=2.074,95%CI:1.246-3.452).No TLR4 Asp299Gly mutant genotype was detected in any patients and healthy controls in Chinese Han population.Conclusion The polymorphism of CD14 C-260T but not TLR4 Asp299Gly is associated with colorectal cancer in Chinese patients.

Along with the development of computer techniques and the dissemination of Internet,many investigators of microorganisms already can acquire a lot of knowledge of many fields on microbe via Internet,extremely including the whole genome of a certain microbe. This was considered unimaginable in the past.Rapid collection of information also to a great extent expands the researching ranges and researching ability of microbial researcher,and at one time,the highly developed Internet provides a unprecedented opportunity for intercommunication of information?share of resources and international cooperations of microbiology.

In this experiment, the HPLC specific chromatogram was adopted, with Agilent Extend-C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) as the chromatographic column, and 0.5 per thousand trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase for gradient elution, so as to establish specific chromatograms for drug pair of Schizonepetae Herba and Saposhnikoviae Radix from different producing area, identify 12 common characteristic peaks, and obtain the comparison specific chromatography of drug pair of Schizonepetae Herba and Saposhnikoviae Radix. The method is simple, accurate and highly reproducible, and thus can be used as the basis for the quality control of the drug pair.
