Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in digestive system. The incidence of gastric cancer in China is higher than that in developed countries. The prognosis of gastric cancer is closely related to the stage of cancer, and the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer is poor. Improving the detection rate of early gastric cancer is the key to improve the survival of patients with gastric cancer. Endoscopic technology developed rapidly in recent years,various forms of endoscopy have been applied in clinical practice,and the detection rate of early gastric cancer was increased. This article reviewed the advances in study on endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer.

GDF-15,a distant member of the TGF-superfamily,is identified as an apoptotic accelerat- ing,anti-tumorigenesis and nerve2nutritional factor in varied injures and tumors and has cardioprotective ac- tivity.The characteristics and roles of GDF-15 gene/protein and antibodies are expounded besides the rela- tionship between GDF-15 serum level/genetypes and CRC.It is also discussed here that some antitumorigenic substances inducing GDF-15 in CRC tissues and CRC cells.

[Objective]To investigate surgical protocol for treatment of thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis. [Method]A retrospective study was performed in 8 thoracolumbar-fracture patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Of them, 6 patients were neurological intact and 2 had neurological defect(Frankel grades the C level). Under general anesthesia, all of the 8 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with pedicle screws at two segments in both ends of the fracture. Laminectomy for decompression of the nerve tissue was performed in the 2 patients with neurological defect simultaneously.[Result]All of the 8 patients were followed up for 8 to 30 months. Solid bone healing was achieved in all of the patients. Two patients with eurological compromise had improved by two Frankel grades (complete recovery).[Conclusion]Thoracolumbar fracture in ankylosing spondylitis traverse both bone and ligaments, producing an extremely unstable situation similar to a shearing type of fracture. Reduction of the displacement and stabilization is best achieved with a pedicle screw system at two segments in both ends of the fracture.

Objective: To construct a polycistron tandem repeated Echistatin (Ecs) gene. Methods: Three Ecs genes with independent initiation and termination codon were ligated tandem through restriction enzyme sites after amplified with 3 pairs of primers using pMD18T-Ecs as template. The polycistron Ecs gene was inserted into pET30a and expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3) with IPTG induction. The expression results were identified by 18% SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Results: The expression of Ecs polycistron was accomplished with 18% expression level of total protein determined by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Conclusion: The successful expression of Ecs polycistron provided a new method for the preparation of low molecular weight protein.

Objective To test the hypothesis that interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the urine and serum sample are early biomarker for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).Methods Eighty patients who underwent CABG were recruited.The patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the AKI criteria.The urine and serum sample were collected at pre-operation and 2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,12 h,24 h after the CABG.The urine and serum IL-18 value were test by ELISA method.Receiver-operating characteristic cue(ORC) and the area under the cure(AUC) asses the sensitivity and specificity of IL-18 for AKI.Results Thirteen of eighty cases(16.25％) developed postoperative AKI according to the AKI criteria.Diagnosis with creatinine was only 24-48 hours after CABG.The serum and urinary concentrations of IL-18 at mostly each time point after CABG in AKI patients were significantly higher than those in non-AKI patients(P ＜ 0.01).Urinary and serous concentrations of IL-18 peaked at 4 h after CABG in AKI patients.ROC curve showed AUC in urinary and serous concentrations of IL-18 at 2 h ＞ 0.8 ; Concentrations of IL-18 in urine and serum at 2 h were the powerful independent predictors of AKI by logistic regression analysis.Conclusion IL-18 in urine and serum after CABG surgery were the powerful independent predictors of AKI.

Objective To study the gene polymorphism at position padi4_94 in Chinese Han people of Hebei Province and the characters of distribution.Methods 106 healthy individuals and 115 rheumatoid arthritis patients in Hebei Province were randomly selected. Padi4_94 gene was screened by sequencing of the promotor. The correlations between the SNP site and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) was discussed.Results There were three genotypes: AA, AG and GG in Chinese Han people of Hebei Province. No significant differences of gene frequency and allele gene frequency were found between healthy individuals and RA patients, and no correlation between SNP and the production of anti-CCP.Conclusions Hebei Province The gene polymorphisms at position padi4_94 existed in Chinese Han people of Hebei Province,but possibly would not affect RA susceptibility and the production of anti-CCP.

Objective To study the association of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) (padi4_94 and padi4_104) genetic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility in Han population of Hebei province. Methods This hospital-based case-control study included 115 RA patients and 106 healthy controls. All the individuals were recruited from Han Hebei residents and were randomly selected. The genotype and allele frequencies of PADI4 gene polymorphisms (padi4_94 and padi4_104) were analyzed by PCR-DNA sequencing method. Results The distribution of padi4_94 and padi4_104 genotypes between the two groups was not significantly deviated from that expected by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). The combined effect of padi4_94 and padi4_104 SNPs was analyzed and three haplotypos (AA, AG and GG) were found but without GA haplotype. The genotype and allele distribution of padi4_94 and padi4_104 in the patients with RA was not significantly different from that in healthy controls,and the analysis of haplotypes revealed that no haplotypes were risk factors for RA. Conclusion In Han population of Hebei province, the SNPs of PADI4 (padi4_94 or/and padi4_104) is no associated with RA susceptibility. Therefore, it should not be regarded as a genetic risk factor for RA.
