Objective To detect the expression of DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine DNA methyl-transferase(MGMT),cell proliferation-related nuclear protein(Ki-67)and P53 protein in gliomas,and inves-tigate the relationship and clinical significance among them and gloma grade. Methods 61 cases of brain glio-ma specimes and 16 cases of internal decompression of brain trauma were used to detect the expression of MGMT,Ki-67 and P53 by using immunohistochemical SP method. Results MGMT protein expression (19. 67%∶0,χ2 =3. 729,P=0. 062),Ki-67 protein expression(39. 34% ∶0,χ2 =5. 722,P=0. 016)and P53 protein expression(27. 87% ∶0,χ2 =9. 146,P=0. 002)showed significant differences in gliomas com-pared to normal brain tissues,the expression of Ki-67 was significantly higher in high-grade gliomas(Ⅲ-Ⅳ) than that in low-grade gliomas(Ⅰ-Ⅱ)(14 ∶10,χ2 =11. 718,P =0. 001). No significant difference was found between the MGMT and P53. Conclusion MGMT protein can be used as a biomarker in gliomas detec-tion;Ki-67 has a positive correlation with tumor grade,and can be used as a reference indicator of pathological grade;P53 protein expression may be used as a potential target for the treatment of gliomas.

Objective To investigate antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in old patients with lower respiratory tract infections. Methods Kirby Bauer agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the drug sensitivity in 240 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli isolated from patients with lower respiratory tract infection. Phenotypic confirmatory test recommended by NCCLS1999 was used to detect extended spectrum beta lactamases(ESBLs). Results The resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to 14 antibiotics in old patients and in non old patients with lower respiratory tract infections were amoxicillin 93 2% vs 87 3%, piperacillin 57 1% and 42 9%, cefuroxime 51 4% and 33 3%, cefotaxime 40 1% and 17 5%, ceftazidime 13 6% and 3 2%, ceftriaxone 39 0% and 17 5%, cefoperazone 37 3% and 15 9%, cefepime 10 2% and 3 2%, amikacin 47 5% and 34 9%, ciprofloxacin 54 2% and 38 1%, imipenem 0, cefoperazone/sulbactam 0, piperacillin/tazobactam 1 1% vs 0, and cefmetazole 9 6% and 4 8% respectively. Out of 240 clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, 78(32 5%) were considered ESBLs producers by phenotypic confirmatory test. The prevalence of ESBLs in old patients was 38 4%, which was much higher than that in non old patients(15 9%). The resistant rate of ESBLs producing strains to imipinem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefmetazole was the lowest, being 0, 0, 2 6% and 12 8%. Conclusions The resistant rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to most antibiotics and the prevalence of ESBLs in old patients with lower respiratory tract infection were higher than that in non old patients. Imipinem, cefoperazone/sulbactam, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefmetazole were the effective antibiotics to infections caused by ESBLs producing strains.

Objective To investigate the effects of fluvastatin on expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)in the myocardium of diabetic rats. Methods Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into four groups: normal control, untreated and STZ-induced diabetic rats, and diabetic rats treated with low-dose and high-dose fluvastatin.After 12 weeks′ intervention, body weight as well as the weights of both whole heart and its left ventricle were measured to calculate the ratio of heart weight to body weight (H/B) and the left ventricle mass index (LVMI).The mRNA expression of CTGF, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), fibronectin (FN),collagen type Ⅲ (ColⅢ) in the myocardium were detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with the normal control group, the untreated diabetic group showed the increased (all P<0.05) H/B, LVMI and mRNA expressions of CTGF, TGF-β1, FN, and Col Ⅲ in the myocardium. In addition to the effective regulation of lipid metabolism, fluvastatin treatment could obviously reduce the increment of H/B and LVMI(P<0.05～0.01), and suppress the mRNA expressions of CTGF, TGF-β1, FN, and Col Ⅲ in the myocardium of diabetic rats(P<0.01).The down-regulation of CTGF was more significant than that of TGF-β1.All these effects were in dose dependent way. Conclusions Fluvastatin inhibits extracellular matrix accumulation in the myocardium of diabetic rat.Down-regulating the overexpression of CTGF in diabetics is an underlying mechanism of fluvastatin in the cardiac protection.

Objective To explore into the relationship between the hepatolithiasis and the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and summarize the experience of early diagnosis and surgical treatment of these disease. Methods A retrospective clinical analysis was made in 28 cases of hepatolithiasis complicated by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma from September 1998 to December 2008. Results It was found that the incidence of cholangiocarcinoma in hepatolithiasis was 5.9%. The correct rate of preoperative ultrasonic diagnosis was 57.15% ( 16/28 ) ,and that of CT diagnosis was 46.43 % ( 13/28), and that of MRCP diagnosis was 40.00% (6/15). 12 cases were radically resected,12 cases were treated by palliative therapy, and 4 cases were examined only with biopsy, and all cases were followed up. The 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rate in radical surgery were 83.34% ,58.34% ,25.00% respectively. And the 1-year,and 2-year survival rate in palliative surgery group were 66.67% ,8.33% respectively. And all the cases examined only with biosy died in 6 months after the biosy. Conclusion Cholangiocarcinoma is related to hepatolithiasis. In patients of hepatolithiasis who were older than 40 years and have a long history of recurrent cholangitis, weight-loss in a short period, progressive jaundice, or intractable abdominal pain,the possibility of accompanying cholangiocarcinoma should be considered. The key of improving the therapeutic effectiveness was early diagnosis ,early treatment and striving for radical operation.

Objective To study the method, advantage and shortcoming of mini-laparoscopic treatment for indirect inguinal hemia in children. Methods 136 cases with indirect inguinal hernia(right:75cases,left:44 cases,bilateral:17 cases) had been treated by high ligation with mini-laparoscopy.

A modified rapid microprocedure for the determination of VE in serum, was described. VE reduced Fe3+ to Fe2+ and then the Fe2+ combined with bathophenanthroline to form a pink complex -which could be determined spect-rophotometrically. As little as 0.3ml (or 0.2ml) of serum or plasma sample was sufficient for determination. The reproducibility of this method was good. The CV was 4.1% (n=15). The recoveries of added VE (0.8, 0.2 and 1.6 mg/dl) were 86.3-102.5%. The mean value and SD of 99 normal adults were 1.15+ 0.31mg/dl. This spectrophotometric method was simple and could be used in common, laboratories. Some affecting frctors were discussed.
