Objective:To study the expressions of Skp2 and P27 in the normal and tumor tissues of salivary glands,and then to evaluate their significance in the development and progression of salivary tumor.Methods:SP immunohistochemical method was used to evaluate the expression of Skp2 and P27 in the normal and tumor tissues of salivary glands. Results:The rates of Skp2 and P27 expression were neither significantly different between polymorphic adenoma and basal cell adenomas, nor significantly different between adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidemoid carcinoma. The rates of Skp2 positive were significantly different between normal salivary glands and benign salivary tumor, as well as between normal salivary glands and malignant salivary tumor. The rates of Skp2 and P27 positive were significantly different between normal salivary glands and malignant salivary tumor.Conclusion:Skp2 overexpression and decreased expression of P27 might play an important role in the development and progression of salivary tumor, overexpression of Skp2 protein may lead to increase of P27 degradation.

Objective To investigate the MRI manifestations of cerebral glioma involving corpus callosum,and to enhance the ability to diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods Thirty four cases of cerebral glioma involving corpus callosum under went plain and Gd DTPA enhanced MR scans.The MRi findings of these gliomas were compared with operation and pathology.Results Gerebral gliomas involving corpus callosum presented as long T 1 and long T 2 homogeneous or inhomogeneous signal intensity and obvious mass effect.The MRI findings of Gd DTPA enhanced MR scans were obvious enhancement,slight enhancement or no enhancement accouding to different pathological kinds of gliomas."Butterfly signs" and "semi butterfly signs" were the reflections when gliomas of corpus callosum invaded two sides or one side of cerebral hemisphere.These two signs were significant markings in the diagnosis of cerebral gliomas in corpus callosum region.Conclusions Cerebral gliomas involving corpus callosum are intracranial tumors with special location.MRI has significant clinical value in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this kinds of tumour.

Objective To study the effect of cold and heat treatment on metastasis and the peripheral blood immune response in patients with breast cancer. Methods A total of 124 breast cancer patients were randomly di-vided into a hot and cold therapy group and a control group, each of 62. Both groups were given conventional surgical resections, and the hot and cold therapy group was given cooling and heating physical therapy for one month before the operation. The efficacy of the treatment and the patients′ spiritual state were compared after the treatment. The effect on lung metastases was evaluated using tomographic images of the chest, and the changes in immune cell levels in the peripheral blood were detected using flow cytometry. Results After the treatment, the remission rate (54.8%), spiritual life ratings on the Karnofsky scale and the area of lung cancer nodule transfer were significantly better in the hot and cold therapy group than in the control group. Twelve weeks after the treatment, the percentage of MDSCs in the control group patients was 72.5%, significantly higher than the 5.3% of the therapy group. The CD4+and CD8+ T cells were 2.2% and 1.8%, significantly lower than the 26.7% and 13.9% of the control group. Con-clusion Cold and hot therapy before a mastectomy can effectively inhibit the metastasis of breast cancer and promote patients′physical rehabilitation and spiritual life. It may regulate the microenvironment of their immunosuppression and stimulate antitumor immunity.

Objective To evaluate color Doppler sonography in the diagnosis of local recurrence in patients undergoing Miles procedure for rectal carcinoma.[WT5”HZ] Methods Transperineal and transsacral color Doppler blood flow sonography was performed on 51 patients presenting presacral masses after Miles procedure for rectal carcinoma. Blood flow richness and the blood flow dynamics indexes e.g. peak systolic velocity (PSV), diastolic velocity (EDV),resistive index (RI), and pulsatility indexs (PI) were recorded and analyzed. Results Blood flow signals in the recurrent masses were mainly Ⅱ-Ⅲ amounting to 81 82% (27/33), and that of benign masses were mainly 0-Ⅰ,Ⅱ-Ⅲ amounting to 27 78% (5/18). Both were significantly different (? 2=14 55, P

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy on hemiplegic spasticity after cerebral infarction treated with plum blossom needle tapping therapy at the key points and Bobath therapy.

METHODSEighty patients were collected, in compliance with the inclusive criteria of hemiplegic spasticity after cerebral infarction, and randomized into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each one. In the control group, Bobath manipulation therapy was adopted to relieve spasticity and the treatment of 8 weeks was required. In the observation group, on the basis of the treatment as the control group, the tapping therapy with plum blossom needle was applied to the key points, named Jianyu (LI 15), Jianliao (LI 14), Jianzhen (SI 9), Hegu (LI 4), Chengfu (BL 36), Zusanli (ST 36), Xiyangguan (GB 33), etc. The treatment was given for 15 min each time, once a day. Before treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and Barthel index (BI) were adopted to evaluate the motor function of the extremity and the activity of daily life in the patients of the two groups separately. The modified Ashworth scale was used to evaluate the effect of anti-spasticity.

RESULTSIn 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, FMA: scores and BI scores were all significantly increased as compared with those before treatment in the two groups: (both P<0. 05). The results in 8 weeks of treatment in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (all P<0. 05). In 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the scores of spasticity state were improved as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all P<0. 05). The result in 8 weeks of treatment in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0. 05). In 8 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of anti-spasticity was 90. 0% (36/40) in the observation group, better than 75. 0% (30/40) in the control group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe tapping therapy with plum blossom needle at the key points combined with Bobath therapy effectively relieves hemiplegic spasticity in the patients of cerebral infarction and improves the motor function of extremity and the activity of daily life.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Pingchuan cataplasm combined with hyperthermia therapy for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with qi deficiency syndrome of both lung and spleen. Methods Sixty patients of stable COPD with TCM syndrome of qi deficiency of both lung and spleen were selected and randomized into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. Based on conventional treatment, the treatment group was treated by Pingchuan cataplasm combined with hyperthermia, and the control group was given analog stick applicator without additional heat treatment. After 6 weeks of treatment, the TCM symptom score and the time of the first exacerbation after treatment were observed. Results Compared with the control group, Pingchuan cataplasm can reduce the patients’ TCM symptom score (F=9.843, P=0.003), and extend the interval of acute exacerbation after treatment (F=4.451, P=0.040). Conclusion Pingchuan cataplasm combined with hyperthermia applicator can improve symptoms and reduce the frequency of acute exacerbation, thus can treat and prevent the acute exacerbation of COPD.

Objective: To study the clinicopathological characteristics，diagnosis，multiple modality therapy and prognosis of accessory breast cancer. Methods: Clinical data of 38 patients with accessory breast cancer seen in our hospital between October 1985 and November 2007. Results: The 38 cases of accessory breast cancer accounted for 0.15% of all 26,078 breast cancer cases during the same period.Six patients of stage Ⅰ and 3 patients of stage Ⅱ underwent breast-conserving local wide excision of the tumor plus axillary lymph node dissection,with the resection margins pathologically negative.The other 9 cases of stage Ⅱ patients were treated with Auchincloss mastectomy.Stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ patients were treated with Auchincloss or Halsted mastectomy.The most common histological type of accessory breast cancer was infiltrating ductal Carcinoma for 18 patients(47.4%)，of which 3 cases were associated with adenoma of the nipple tube.There were 6 cases of carcinoma simplex，6 cases of intraductal Carcinoma，3 cases of adenocarcinoma with focal squamous cancer cells differentiation，3 cases of medullary carcinoma，and 2 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma.The most common pathological stages(according to AJCC staging of breast cancer,2002.6th edition)were stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ in 12 cases(31.6%)，stage Ⅰ in 6 cases，and stage Ⅳ in 8 cases.All patients were followed-up for 1 to 23 years.The median follow-up time was 6 years and 7 months，and the follow-up rate was 100%.Until November 2008，12 patients died of metastasis and the other 26 patients were still alive.The 5-year overall survival rate was 35.3%.significantly lower than that of breast cancer patients(66.8%).The 3-year survival rate was 77.8%.The 5-year disease free survivaI rate was 28.6%and the 3-year disease free survival rate was 63.6%. Conclusion: Accessory breast cancer is rarely seen but is aggressive.The diagnosis mainly depends on clinical characteristics，postoperative pathology and imaging examinations.Early diagnosis is essential.Surgery combined with other adjuvant therapies can improve patient survival.

Objective To investigate inhibitory effect of Telmisartan on carotid arterial intima-media thickness in patients with essential hypertension. Methods 104 patients with mild or mid essential hypertension were randomly divided into three groups, which include telmisartan group( telmisartan 80 mg/d PO), ramipril group( ramipril 5 mg/d PO), and control group( other anti-hypertension agents). Blood pressure was monitored during treatment. Carotid arterial intima-media thickness(CIMT) were measured in all patients at beginning and patients who had the 12 months course. Results There were 91 patients who had the 12 months course,which include telmisartan group33 cases,ramipril group28 cases, and control 30 cases. The CIMT was significantly decreased in telmisartan group and ramipril group ( all P < 0. 05 ), and not changed in control while blood pressure fall effectively. In ramipril, group5 cases were ceased the course because of severe cough. Conclusion Both telmisartan and ramipril could decrease blood pressure and CIMT effectively, and there were less side effects in telmisartan group.
