Thyroid hormones and the related antibodies have some function in the natural process of breast cancer development.The possible mechanisms include:iodine complex can inhibit breast cell proliferation and can induce apoptosis; thyroid hormone can affect breast cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis; the imbalance of thyroid hormone and estrogen hormone promotes breast cells cancerous; hypothyroidism may affect the proliferation and invasiveness of breast tumors; lymphocytic infiltration or abnormal local immune response in thyroid disease.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of plasmakinetic enucleation and resection of the prostate by divided into three parts and blocking blood flow in advance (PKERPDPB). Methods 158 patients with BPH were randomly divided two groups: 81 patients treated by plasmakinetic enucleation and resection of the prostate by divided into three parts and blocking blood flow in advance (PKERPDPB), 77 patients treated by plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP). All patients were evaluated preoperatively and at 1, 6, 12 months after surgery by IPSS, QOL, Qmax and PVR. Operation time, resected adenoma weight, catheterization time, hospital stay and complications were documented. Results There were no significant differences in preoperative parameters. The resected adenoma weight in the PKERPADPB group was heavier than that in the PKRP group, the difference was significant. Compared with PKRP, PKERPDPB required a longer operation time, but resulted in less hemoglobin decrease, less catheterization time and hospital time. During the 1, 6, 12 months of follow-up, there was no significant difference in Qmax, IPSS, PVR and QOL between the groups. Conclusion PKERPDPB was statistically superior to PKRP in blood loss, catheterization time, hospital stay but inferior in operation time. It was a safe and effective treatment for BPH.

Objective To explore the expression of b-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (bcl-2) and breast cancer drug-resistant protein (BCRP) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and their correlation. Methods Using flow cytometry (FCM) and semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay the expressions of BCRP gene was analysed in 40 DLBCL samples. bcl-2 protein were measured by immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded slices in 40 cases of DLBCL. Results The positive expression rate of bcl-2 and BCRP protein were 60.0 % (24/40) and 37.5 % (15/40) in 40 patients with DLBCL respectively. There was significant differences between positive group and negative groups (x2 = 5.7618,P <0.05; x2 = 6.5541,P <0.05). There was no significant correlation between Bcl-2 and BCRP gene in effective treatment group and therapies group or progress group (x2 = 2.0263,P >0.05). Conclusion BCRP may play an important role in DLBCL primary much medicine drug-resistant,thus it may be a useful prediction of chemotherapeutic treatment and risk of relapse. The level bcl-2 expression was closely related with the grade of malignancy and the prognosis of DLBCL. There was no significant correlation between bcl-2 and BCRP gene. The detection of bcl-2 and BCRP gene played an important role in evaluating DLBCL outcome.

Objective To investigate the liver function of patients with chronic liver diseases undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic operations.Methods Twenty-six asymptomatic HBV carriers,28 mild chronic hepatitis,21 compensatory cirrhosis were assigned to undergo gynecologic laparoscopic operations.Liver function were tested and compared in these three groups before operation and on the 1st、3rd、7th day after operation.Results 1st day after operation,ALT and AST in asymptomatic carriers and mild chronic hepatitis groups were significantly higher than preoperation ( asymptomatic carriers:ALT P ＜ 0.05,AST P ＜ 0.05 ; mild chronic hepatitis:ALT P ＜ 0.05,AST P ＜ 0.05 ).Then they recovered on the 3rd day after operation ( asymptomatic carriers:ALT P ＞ 0.05,AST P ＞ 0.05 ; mild chronic hepatitis:ALT P ＞ 0.05,AST P ＞ 0.05 ).ALB,total bilirubin (Tbil) after operation were not significantly different from those before operation on every tested day in these two groups ( asymptomatic carriers:ALB P ＞ 0.05,Tbil P ＞ 0.05 ; mild chronic hepatitis:ALB P ＞ 0.05,Tbil P ＞ 0.05 ).In compensatory cirrhosis group,ALT,AST,Tbil were significantly higher on the 1st day,3rd day after operation than preoperation ( 1st day:ALT P ＜0.01,AST P ＜0.01,Tbil P ＜0.01 ;3rd day:ALT P ＜ 0.05,AST P ＜ 0.05,Tbil P ＜ 0.05 ).ALB levels were significantly lower on the 1st day,3rd day after operation than preoperation ( 1st day:P ＜0.01 ;3rd day:P ＜0.05 ).All the indexes recovered to the levels of preoperation on the 7th day after operation( ALT P ＞ 0.05,AST P ＞ 0.05,Tbil P ＞ 0.05,ALB P ＞0.05).Conclusions To some extent,gynecologic laparoscopic operations have some adverse effects on short-term liver function after operation in patients with chronic liver diseases.Compensatory cirrhosis patients present delayed recovery compared with asymptomatic carriers and mild chronic hepatitis patients.

The B Phycoerythrin(B PE) could both be separated after crude phycobiliproteins from Porphyridium cruentum were precipitated in ammonium sulphate and dialyzed,then chromatographed on a hydroxylapatite (HA) Column and a Sephadex G 100 column respectively.The purity of B PE separated by two methods was 4.92 and 3.78 (A 545 nm/A 280 nm) respectively.When the purified B PE was electrophoresed under polyacryiamide gradient gel electrophoresis condition,only one band was observed.The B PE possessed an absorption maximum at 545nm and a room fluoresence emission at 574.5nm.

Objective To explore the regulatory mechanism of gastrin and motilin on sling fibers and clasp fibers of human lower esophageal sphincter.Methods Muscle strips of the sling and clasp fibers from human lower esophageal sphincter and the circular layers of the esophagus and gastric fundus were obtained from patients with subtotal esophagectomy.Through the isolated tissue tension detection technique and pharmacological method,the concentration-response curves of the strips responding to gastrin and motilin were constructed,from which E_(max)s were derived.Results All strips contracted to gastrin and motilin with different rules and different intensity in a concentration-dependent fashion.Sling fibers' E_(max)value(4.91?(0.95 mN/mm~(2))) to gastrin was significantly higher than clasp fibers'(0.72?(0.14 mN/mm~(2))).Otherwise,in response to motilin,both sling fibers and clasp fibers contracted to motilin intensively(3.61?(0.65 mN/mm~(2))and 2.64?(0.33 mN/mm~(2))).Conclusions The sling fibers and clasp fibers have different responses to gastrin and motilin.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of inserting a ureteral access sheath under direct view in flexible ureteroscopy with the help of rigid ureteroscope.Methods From March 2013 to July 2015,there were 68 patients accepted a ureteral access sheath in flexible ureteroscopy with the help of rigid ureteroscope for the treatment of kidney stones.There were 46 cases male,22 cases female,aged from 22 to 76 years old,average 43.9 years.There were 68 cases with backaches or hematuria.There were 48 cases with single stone,20 patients with multiple stones.There were 5 cases with stones on both sides.The stone diameter were from 1.2 to 2.5 cm,the average (1.83 ± 0.16) cm.There was no hydronephrosis in 18 cases,mild hydronephrosis 42 cases.The operations were carry out under general anesthesia.By using rigid ureteroscope placed zebra guidewire,then intercept F8 single lumen tip to 1.0 cm section on rigid ureteroscope,was placed into a modified 42 cm ureteral access sheath.Then the modified 42 cm ureteral access sheath was inserted under direct view with the help of rigid ureteroscope.Preoperative patient characteristics,radiographic stone size,operation time,success rate of lithotripsy,serious complications especially ureteral injury was recorded.4 weeks and 12 weeks after operation,ultrasound and/or CT were reexamined to assess the success rate of lithotripsy and the incidence ureteral stricture.Results All the procedures were successful.The operation time was (62.2 ± 6.5)min,the hospital stay was (3.1 ± 0.2) d.The success rate of ureteral access sheath completely placement was 97.1％,partially placement was 2.9％.Postoperative complications included Clavien classification grade Ⅰ 6 cases and grade II 2 cases.The postoperative follow-up averaged (12 ± 1.2) months for all case.The success rate of lithotripsy was 76.5％ in 4 weeks postoperative,and it was 95.6％ in 12 weeks.During the follow-up,compared with the preoperative cases,62 cases were not found to increase the degree of hydronephrosis.There were 58 cases (58/62) without hydronephrosis.4 cases were mild hydronephrosis (4/62).CT showed normal ureter 52 cases (52/52).Conclusions It was safe and reliable procedure with good results.It would be a safe procedure to inserting a ureteral access sheath under direct view in flexible ureteroscopy with the help of rigid ureteroscope.

AIM:To evaluate the effect of bFGF on the apoptosis and the expression of glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78) in ovarian cancer CAOV3 cells.METHODS:Starvation induced cell apoptosis was conducted.After treatment with bFGF,the cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by FACS analysis and Annexin V/PI staining,respectively.The expression of protein kinase B(PKB) and GRP78 were detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR.RESULTS:Compared to starvation group,the cells treated with bFGF were still viable and increased activation of PKB and high expression of GRP78 were observed,which were prevented by PKB inhibitor wortmannin effectively(P

Objective To investigate the mechanism of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulated by differ-ent isoforms of tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) in epileptic hippocampal neurons. Methods Primary hippocampal neu-rons were cultured in vitro for 7 days, and divided into two groups, ALLN (calcineurin inhibitor) group and Anisomycin (trans-lation inhibitor) group. ALLN group included control group, control+BDNF group, epilepsy group, epilepsy+BDNF group, control+ALLN group, epilepsy+ALLN group and epilepsy+ALLN+BDNF group. Anisomycin group was sub-divided into con-trol group, control+BDNF group, epilepsy group, epilepsy+BDNF group, control+Anisomycin group, epilepsy+Anisomycin group and epilepsy+Anisomycin+BDNF group. The immunofluorescent technique was used to identificate the hippocampal neurons. Epileptiform discharges were detected by electrophysiological techniques. Western blot assay was used to deter-mine the protein expression of TrkB and phosphorylated TrkB (p-TrkB) in all cell groups. Results (1) In ALLN group, the gray value of p-TrkB/TrkB was higher in control+BDNF group compared with that of control group, the value was higher in epilepsy+BDNF group than that of epilepsy group but was lower than that of control+BDNF group. The gray value of p-TrkB/TrkB was lower in epilepsy+ALLN+BDNF group than that of epilepsy+BDNF group, but no significant difference compared with that of epilepsy+ALLN group. (2) In Anisomycin group:the gray value of p-TrkB/TrkB was higher in control+BDNF group than that of control group. The gray value of p-TrkB/TrkB was higher in epilepsy+BDNF group than that of epilepsy group, but which was lower than that of control+BDNF group. The gray value of p-TrkB/TrkB was higher in epilepsy+Aniso-mycin+BDNF group than that of epilepsy+BDNF group and epilepsy+Anisomycin group. Conclusion The decreased ex-pression of TrkB.T can improve the inhibition of BDNF/TrkB signaling, and BDNF can activate BDNF/TrkB signal pathway in epileptic hippocampal neurons. The increased TrkB.FL protein level by ALLN can’t improve the inhibition of BDNF/TrkB signal pathway.
