Nasal polyps is a common disease in clinical, with nasal mucosal inflammatory hyperplasia. However, the molecular mechanism of it is largely unknown. Tumor suppressor genes, proliferation and apoptosis related genes and cytokines play an important role in the formation and pathological development of nasal polyps. The expression level of tumor suppressor related proteins and receptors is not constant, high level of these expression can stimulate nasal mucosal proliferation, while low or lacking expression may facilitate nasal polyps cells apoptosis. Both proliferation and apoptosis make a big difference in nasal polyps formation and development. This article concludes the relationships between new progressions in nasal polyps pathogenesis and tumor suppressor genes and proliferation apoptosis genes, which not only helps practitioners deeply and comprehensively understand nasall polyps pathogenesis but promotes explorations to effective therapeutics.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the content of dracorhodin in Diedaqili Tablets by HPLC. METHODS: The separation was performed on Diamonsil TM C18 column. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitril-0. 05mol? L-1 sodium biphosphate solution ( 45∶ 55) with detection wavelength at 440nm and flow rate at 1. 0mL? min-1. RESULTS: The calibration curve of dracorhodin was linear within the range of 0. 122～ 0. 854? g ( r=0. 999 9) , with average recovery at 101. 4% ( RSD=0. 91% ) . CONCLUSION: This method is simple, reliable and reproducible, and suitable for the quality control of Diedaqili Tablets.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and the expression of transforming growth factor-β receptorⅡ,interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in gastric mucosa.Methods:76 cases of gastroscope biopsy specimens were collected in the CAG patients,the infection of Hp was detected by PCR fluorescence,and immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression of TGF-βRⅡ,IL-6 and TNF-α in gastric foveolar epithelium and stromal inflammatory cells.Results:There were significant differences in chronic inflammation between Hp-positive and Hp-negative group (P<0.05).Expression of IL-6 in stromal inflammatory cells was significantly different between Hp-positive and Hp-negative group (P<0.05).Expression of TGF-βRⅡ and TNF-α was not significantly different in two groups(P>0.05).IL-6 expressed instromal inflammatory cells were correlated with chronic inflammation (r=0.249,P=0.03).The degree of intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia were correlated with the atrophic severity respectively(r=0.697,0.366).Conclusion:IL-6 is related to the chronic inflammation in patients with CAG who has Hp infection.The chronic atroplic severity promotes the development of intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia.

Objective To analyze the characteristic of serum proteins in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, establish serum markers pattern for the diagnosis of NSCLC. Methods Surface enhanced laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectormetry ( SELDI-TOF-MS) technology was used to analyze serum samples. Bio-marker Pattern Software (BPS) was used to detect the protein peaks. Results Sixteen significantly different pro-tein peaks were found in serum samples in NSCLC patients and healthy controls. Eight up-regulated protein peaks and eight down-regulated protein peaks ( P < 0. 001 ) were identified in serum samples of NSCLC patients. Three up-regulated protein peaks(P <0. 05) were identified in serum samples of patients of NSCLC with smoking history. Two up-regulated protein peaks(P <0. 01) were identified in serum samples of patients of squamous carcinoma comparing with adenocarcinoma. No significantly different protein peak was found in serum samples of NSCLC patients at different clinical stages . Conclusion SELDI - TOF - MS technology can identify different protein peaks and so function as a diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To analyze the epidemud growth factor receptor(EGFR)mutations in NSCLC patients in Fujian province.Methods Fresh specimens of lung cancer and corresponding normal lung tissue were collected from 50 cases of NSCLC patients.After DNA extraction,nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR)and direct deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)sequencing were used to analyze EGFR gene mutations in NSCLC patients.Results EGFR mutations in tumors were identified from 13 of 50(26%)patients,including 10 cages of in-frame deletion in exon 19 and 3 cases of amino acid substitution in exon 21.Conclusion The mjor type of EGFR mutation in NSCLC patients in Fujian is in-frame deletion in exon 19.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the soft and hard tissue changes in Class II division 1 patients treated with Tip-Edge plus technique.

METHODSSixteen Class II division 1 patients (7 boys and 9 girls) with mandibular retrusion in permanent dentition were selected and treated with Tip-Edge plus appliance. Lateral cephalometric films were analyzed before and after treatment. The effects were evaluated with Holdaway soft tissues analysis and routine cephalometric analysis methods. The arithmetic mean and standard deviation were calculated for each variable. Paired t-test was performed.

RESULTSThe average treatment time was 16 months. Normal overjet and overbite were established with retroclination of upper incisors and proclination of lower incisors. U1-NA(°) and U1-NA (mm) decreaed by (15.40 ± 5.31)° and (4.16 ± 1.82) mm (P < 0.01). NLA showed an average increase of (-16.60 ± 5.29)° (P < 0.01). Remarkable soft tissue change was noted after the treatment.

CONCLUSIONSThe profile in Class II division 1 patients could be quickly and efficiently improved after treatment with Tip-Edge plus technique.
