ObjectiveTo Investigate the cervical cancer patients' knowledge and situation concerniug cervical cancer screening and explore the connection of cervical cancer screening status and clinical stage at diagnosis of cervical lesions.MethodsQuestionnaires were done for the cervical cancer patients who went to Peking University People's Hospital from February 2010 to October 2011.The patient's age,first visit or not,cause for treatment,awareness of cervical cancer now as well as that before diagnosis of the disease,the last cervical cancer screening' time and the clinical stage were recorded.The results of questionnaires were analyzed with SPSS 16.0.Results(1) One hundred and thirty-eight cases were collected and the average age was (48 ± 10) years old.Concerning the awareness level,the patients were divided into three groups of 10 points,5 points and 0 point based on the score of the second parts of the questionnaires.The number of the patients of the above three groups were 114 ( 82.6％ ),18 ( 13.0％ ) and 6 (4.3％ ) at present,while before the cancer diagnosis the number of the patients of the above three groups were 5 (3.6％),13 (9.4％) and 120 (87.0％).Patient's awareness level was much higher now than that before the cancer diagnosis(P ＜0.05 ).(2) Based on the last cervical cancer screening time,the patients were divided into four groups including within one year ( group 1 ),a year ago but within three years ( group 2),three years ago (group 3) and never done (group 4).There were 9 (6.5％) cases in group 1,30 (21.7％) cases in group 2,29 (21.0％) cases in group 3 and 70 ( 50.7％ ) cases in group 4.There were 5 (5/9)cases with stage Ⅰ a,3 (3/9)cases with stage Ⅰ b and 1 ( 1/9)case with stage Ⅱ or above in group 1;11 (36.7％,11/30) cases with stage Ⅰ a,15 (50.0％,15/30) cases with stage Ⅰ b and 4 (13.3％,4/30) cases with stage Ⅱ or above in group 2;5 (17.2％,5/29) cases with stage Ⅰ a,14 (48.3％,14/29 ) cases with stage Ⅰ b was and 10 ( 34.5％,10/29 )cases with stage Ⅱ or above in group 3;7 (10.0％,7/70) cases stage with Ⅰ a,35 (50.0％,35/70) cases with stage Ⅰ b and 28 (40.0％,28/70) cases with stage Ⅱ or above in group 4.The results showed that there was an increasing trend of advanced cervical carcinoma at diagnosis for the patients with longer last cervical cancer screening time (P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionsPeople's awareness level is much higher after being educated in cervical cancer.Among the cervical cancer patients,the probability of diagnosed patients with advanced cervical cancer has an increasing trend when their screening situation is poor.To raise the screening attendance rate among appropriate women,we should spread knowledge of cervical cancer to the population.

It is reported that zymogen granule membrane glycoprotein 2 (GP2 )and CUB and zona pellucida-like domain-containing protein 1 (CUZD1 )are the major autoantigens of autoantibodies against exocrine pancreas (PAB).GP2 is mainly expressed in the pancreatic acinar cell and M cells in small intestine follicle-associated epithelium,and CUZD1 is mainly expressed in uterus,ovary and pancreatic acinar cell.PAB is a relatively specific antibody for Crohn's disease (CD).The article reviewed the progress in study on autoantigens of PAB in CD.

0 05) The radiotherapy and chemotherapy ratio of them was significantly higher than the control ( P 0 05). Multivariate analysis showed that the prognosis were related to the stage and tumor cell differentiation affected the prognosis remarkable But the prognosis was independent of age and associated medical disorders Conclusions The endometrial carcinoma often associates with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and so on The incidence rate of medical disorders increases with the aging of the patients The medical disorders might affect the therapy to a certain extent But they do not affect the prognosis remarkably

31 rat were divided randomly into control group (n=10),tripterygium wilfordii glycosides group (n = 10 9. 4 mg/kg per day),and poly saccharide sulphate group (n=11. 30 mg/per day). We made balloon endothelium denudation in thoracic aortae of the rats. The treatments with drugs began 6 days before balloon injury and continously until the animal were killed 14 day after balloon injury. The determinations for area of neointima, neointima /media, coverage of neointima and 3H-TdR incoperation of thoracic aortae suggested that tripterygium wilfordii glycosides can inhibit intimal proliferation of injuried aorta, whill poly saccharide sulphate shows no effect.

Objective To study the expression and significance of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB 1) in experimental diabetic mellitus rats, and their relationship with extracllular matrix (ECM) restructuration. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats, with their kidneys removed surgically, were divided in two groups: control group (n=30) and diabetic group (n=30). Diabetic model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of Streptozocin (STZ, 65mg/kg). Six rats of each group were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12weeks after STZ injection. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of p-p38 MAPK and p-CREB 1 in both control and diabetic groups. Western blot was performed to determine the activity of p-p38 MAPK and p-CREB 1 in both groups. Semiquantitative competitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the expression of mRNA of p38 MAPK, CREB 1 and fibronectin (FN). Results Compared with the control group, expression of p-p38 MAPK in diabetic glomeruli was significantly enhanced at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks, then it lowered at 12 weeks. P-CREB 1 was increased at 2, 4, 8 weeks, also decreased at 12 weeks. Elevation of FN mRNA began after 4 weeks in diabetic rats. Conclusions Glomerular p38 MAPK activity was increased in early stage of diabetes. This activated p38 MAPK pathway in diabetic glomeruli may in part play a role in the pathogenesis of extracellular matrix restructuring.

Objective To study curative efficacy of benazepril combined with atorvastatin on N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and its efficacy in the treatment of chronic cardiac failure. Methods 90 patients of chronic heart failure were selected as research objects. The control group were treated with benazepril, while the observation group were treated with benazepril combined with atorvastatin, 45 cases in each group. Then before and after treatment of 6 months, the cardiac function of left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVESD), left ventricular eject fraction (LVEF), C-reactionprotein (CRP), interleukin- 6 (IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and plasma NT-proBNP levels were compared between two groups, and the efficacy was observed. Results After treatment, LVEDD and LVESD in observation group were lower than those in control group, the LVEF was higher than that in control group(P<0.05). The CRP,IL-6 and TNF-αlevels in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.05). The plasma NT-proBNP level in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05). The total effective rate of observation group was statistically higher than that that in the control group 95.55%(43/45)vs. 77.77%(35/45)(P<0.05). Conclusion Benazepril combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of chronic heart failure is significant, can reduce plasma NT-proBNP levels, improve the inflammatory factor.

Objective To investigate the role of two isoforms of human progesterone receptor A (hPR-A) and B(hPR-B) in the development of uterine leiomyoma, their distribution and expression in leiomyoma were detected. Methods The tissues of leiomyoma and normal myometrium from 30 uteri, which were excised for leiomyoma, were used for the localization and quantification of protein of the two isoforms. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were applied respectively. Results Both hPR-A and hPR-B were nuclear receptors. Concentrations of hPR-(A+B) and hPR-A in leiomyoma were higher than those in normal myometrium (295 796? 90 856,256 275?98 560; P =0 042, P =0 000 563). Both isoforms were presented in leiomyoma and normal myometrium, with a consistent dominance of hPR-B over hPR-A. More expression of hPR-A was found during secretive phase than proliferative phase, not only in leiomyoma but also in normal myometrium ( P =0 037, P =0 024). Conclusions The development of uterine leiomyoma seems to be related with the progesterone receptor isoforms, especially hPR-A.

Objective To investigate whether insulin secretion and resistance are different in glucose tolerant and intolerant women with normal pre-pregnant body mass index (BMI) during late pregnancy and to find out if there is association between gestational diabetes and insulin resistance syndrome. Methods On the basis of a 4-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), 32 gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients, 21 gestational impaired glucose tolerant (GIGT) patients, and 50 normal glucose tolerant (NGT) cases were selected from uncomplicated pregnant women. Those had normal pre-pregnant BMI who had a 1-hour 50-g glucose-screening test (≥7 2 mmol/L), performed between 24～28 weeks of gestation. During the OGTT, several indexes of insulin resistance, insulin secretion, lipid metabolism were measured in addition to the standard glucose measurements. Results Glucose area under curve (GAUC), insulin area under curve (IAUC), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) transformed to natural logarithm and triglycerides (TG) are all significantly higher ( P

During the last forty years, although cytotoxic chemotherapy for gastric cancer patients has improved to some extent, its therapeutic effect is limited. Simultaneously, great progression of oncobiology to increase our understanding of the molecular basis of gastric cancer has been made. Currently the cancer cell has been characterized by several genetic changes that lead to altered cellular functions. In addition, multiple cancer-cell environment factors affect the tumor cell via various receptors and subsequent signaling pathways. The increasing knowledge of cellular signaling offers the opportunity to develop novel substances that target specific pathway molecules.

Objective To compare the expressions of p16~(ink4a) and Ki-67 in human cervical lesions. Methods The expressions of p16~ink4a and Ki-67 protein were measured with immunhistochemical staining in 42 human normal uterine cervical tissues,21 with human cervical intraepitheial neoplasia(CIN) Ⅰ,21 with CINⅡ,and 36 with CINⅢ.The relevance of the expressions of the two proteins to CIN grades was analyzed by Spearman Correlation.The sensitivity,specificity,positive/negative predictive values,and youden's index of p16~(ink4a) and Ki-67 were also studied. Results For p16~(ink4a),the sensitivity and specificity were 83.3% and 90.5%;the positive and negative predictive values were 94.2% and 74.5%;Youden's index was 0.738.For ki-67,the sensitivity and specificity were 98.7% and 16.7%;the positive and negative predictive values were 68.75% and 87.5%;Youden's index was 0.154.Both the sensitivity and specificity for the combined Ki-67 and p16~(ink4a) are 83.3%.Conclusion p16~(ink4a) has higher specificity and positive predictive value,and is a good diagnostic marker for cervical lesion.By contrast,Ki-67 has higher sensitivity and negative predictive value.Even with its poor specificity,it can still be regarded as a supplementary test for early diagnostic cervical lesion.The overall performance of p16~(ink4a) is better than that of Ki-67.
