Objective To detect the methylation status of CDH1 3 gene promoter in colon cancer by using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction(MSP)technique.Method The tissue specimens from 32 cases of colon cancer(observation group),and 12 cases of normal colon tissues(control group)were examined,the methylation of CDH13 gene promoter was detected by MSP.Result The methylation of CDH13 gene promoter was detected in 19 cases(59.4％,19/32)in observation group,1 case(8.3 ％,1 / 12)in control group,there was statistical significance between two groups(P =0.002).Conclusion Frequency of the methylation of CDH13 gene promoter is apparently higher in colon cancer tissues than that in normal colon tissues,it reveals that CDH13 gene promoter may contribute significantly to the development of colon cancer.

Objective: To observe the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in the giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) and to discuss its clinical significance. Methods: OPN expression was examined in 77 GCTB samples by En Vision™ two-step immunohistochemical method. And the expression was compared between patients with different clinical and pathological data; the implied clinical relevance was also analyzed. Results: The positive expression rate of OPN in the GCTB was 76.6%; only weak expression was noted in the normal bone tissues. The expression in the invasive GCTB was significantly higher than that in the non-invasive ones(95.5% vs 69.1%, P=0.013). The expression rate of OPN increased with the increase of Campanacci stages of GCTB, and significant difference was found between different stages(P=O.019). The recurrence status, gender, age, surgery types, duration of illness or site of tumor were not associated with the positive rate of OPN. Conclusion: OPN is highly expressed in GCTB tissues, and the expression is associated with the invasiveness and the Campanacci stages of GCTB.

Objective To evaluate the urethra lengthening technique in the management of stricture of the external orifice and navicular fossa of urethra. Methods From June 1995 to April 1999,15 cases of severe stricture of the external orifice and navicular fossa of urethra were treated by the urethra lengthening technique and the therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results The patients have been followed up for 3～36 months with a mean of 21 months.Satisfactory results with normal voiding and good apearence of the penis have been observed in all but 2.Slight stricture of the external orifice has been noted in 2 patients and has been relieved after 3～6 times of urethral sounding. Conclusions Urethra lengthening technique yields a high success rate with consistant normal voiding and is compliant with the normal anatomy and physiology of the urethra.
