Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of miRNA-5193 (miR-5193) on the sensitivity of cervical cancer Caski cells to cisplatin.Methods:The expression of miR-5193 in cervical cancer cell lines C33A, SiHa, Caski and normal cervical cell line Ect1/E6E7 were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Caski cells were divided into control group (no transfection, normally cultured), miR-5193-negative control (miR-NC) group (transfected with miR-NC mimic), miR-5193 group (transfected with miR-5193 mimic), miR-NC+cisplatin group (transfected with miR-NC mimic and treated with 10 μg/ml cisplatin), miR-5193+cisplatin group (transfected with miR-5193 mimic and treated with 10 μg/ml cisplatin), miR-5193+cisplatin+NC group (cotransfected with Foxp3-negative control vector and miR-5193 mimic, and treated with 10 μg/ml cisplatin), and miR-5193+cisplatin+Foxp3 group (cotransfected with Foxp3 overexpression vector and miR-5193 mimic, and treated with 10 μg/ml cisplatin). Proliferation was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), cell cycle was detected by PI single staining method, cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method, and expressions of CDK2, p27 and C-caspase-3 proteins in cells were detected by Western blot. Bioinformatics software was used to predict miR-5193 target genes, and the luciferase reporting system was used to identify the targeting relationship.Results:The relative expression of miR-5193 in cervical cancer C33A, SiHa and Caski cells was lower than that in normal cervical Ect1/E6E7 cells (0.56±0.06, 0.41±0.03, 0.23±0.02 vs. 1.00±0.10, all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group and miR-NC group, the cell proliferation activity (absorbance value) in miR-5193, miR-NC+cisplatin and miR-5193+cisplatin groups decreased (0.58±0.06, 0.59±0.07 vs. 0.38±0.04, 0.40±0.05, 0.23±0.02, all P < 0.05), the cell apoptosis rate increased [(2.5±0.2)%, (2.7±0.3)% vs. (12.6±1.2)%, (11.9±1.5)% , (18.9±1.7)%, all P < 0.05], and the proportion of cells in G 0/G 1 phase increased [(50.4±4.2)%, (51.3±6.3)% vs. (62.3±3.2)%, (61.9±5.8)%, (71.4±5.4)%, all P < 0.05]. The expression levels of p27 and C-caspase-3 proteins increased, and the expression level of CDK2 protein decreased. The software predicted that the target gene of miR-5193 was Foxp3, which was confirmed by the luciferase reporting system. Compared with the miR-5193+cisplatin+NC group, the cell proliferation activity (absorbance value) in miR-5193+ cisplatin+Foxp3 group increased (0.24±0.03 vs. 0.65±0.05, t = 21.094, P < 0.01), the proportion of cells in G 0/G 1 phase decreased [(71.0±6.4)% vs. (60.3±4.1)%, t = 4.196, P < 0.01], the apoptosis rate of cells decreased [(19.6±1.6)% vs. (11.5±1.2)%, t = 11.880, P < 0.01], the expression levels of p27 and C-caspase-3 proteins in cells decreased, and the expression levels of CDK2 and Foxp3 proteins increased. Conclusion:The miR-5193 may increase the sensitivity of cervical cancer Caski cells to cisplatin in vitro by targeted inhibition of the Foxp3 gene.

Purpose: To investigate the pathogenesis and clinical treatment of pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor (PIP). Methods:To analyze the pathogenic characteristics and X-ray findings of 18 cases of PIP. Results:The rate of incidence in PIP is increasing in recent years .70 percent of the patients have infection of the respiratory system and is related to the abuse of large doses of antibiotics, there is little specificity in X-ray or CT so it is easy to confuse with malignant tumor of the lung .In pathologic sections of PIP, no malignant changes were seen, and only inflammatory cells, lymphocytes and plasm cells could be seen by light microscope. Conclusions:The antibiotic must be used properly in infection of the respiratory system and surgical treatment can be done in some asses to exclude tumor of the lung in diagnosis.

Objective To report our experience on laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) for elderly patients with cholecystitis and cardiopulmonary diseases.Methods Totally 225 elderly patients,who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital between January 2000 and June 2008,were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the cases,LC were completed in 222 patients,the other 3 were converted to open surgery.No bile duct injury or biliary leakage occurred.After the operation,7 cases developed pulmonary infection,and 3 cases showed urinary infection,all of them were cured by antibiotics.Three cases suffered from cardiac ischemia without further damage.Conclusions With strict enrollment criteria,careful preoperative preparation,skillful operation,and intensive intra-and postoperative monitor,the LC is safe for elderly patients as a minimally invasive surgery.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of MR cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) using three-dimensional fast recovery fast spin-echo(3D FRFSE) in differentiating benign from malignant causes of biliary and pancreatic duct dilatation.Methods 106 cases suspected biliary and pancreatic duct dilatation underwent 3D FRFSE MRCP.The images were prospectively analysed by two skilled radiologists,and the results were compared with that of surgery,biopsy or follow-up.Results MRCP was successful performed at one time in all cases.On MRCP,the visual rate of intra-and extrahepatic bile duct was 100% and that of main pancreatic duct was 93.4%.80 patients had benign lesions: bile duct lithiasis(n=66),papillitis(n=6),descending part of duodenum diverticulitis(n=2),duodenal adenomatoid hyperplasia(n=1) and chronic pancreatitis(n=5).26 patients had malignant lesions: extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(n=9),ampullary carcinoma(n=5),gallbladder carcinoma(n=4) and pancreatic head carcinoma(n=8).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in differentiating benign from malignant causes of biliary dilatation were 92.3%,96.3% and 95.3%,respectively.Conclusion 3D FRFSE MRCP plays an important role in diagnosis of differentiating diagnosis of the causes of biliary dilatation in clinical practice.

Background and purpose:Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive technique of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DWI is an alternative to dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI for differentiating malignant from benign lesions in breast screening or not. This study aimed to evaluate the potential role of DWI in differentiating malignant breast lesions from benign lesions.Methods:Seventy-four patients underwent digital mammography, DCE and DWI (49 patients’b-value of 0, 400, 600 and 800 s/mm2). The detectability, sensitivity and speciifcity of DWI and DCE were compared. Absolute apparent diffusion coefifcient (ADC) was compared with standardized ADC for quantitative analysis.Results:Sixty-four of 74 patients had positive pathologic findings (38 malignant, 26 benign). All of the malignant lesions were detected on DWI and DCE. The sensitivity of DWI was 83.33%, 90.00% and 93.33%, and the specificity was 85.91%, 76.19% and 72.72%, forb-value of 400, 600 and 800 s/mm2, respectively. The sensitivity and speciifcity of DCE were 86.61% and 90.48%. There was no signiifcant difference between absolute and standardized ADC in detecting breast cancer (P>0.05).Conclusion:DWI is an important complemented technique to DCE-MRI for differentiating malignant from benign lesions in breast MRI.

Objective To investigate the variance and significance of Th1/Th2 type cytokines in plasma of ovarian cancer patients. Methods The levels of IL-2, IFN-?, TNF-?, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 in 34 plasma samples of ovarian cancer patients and 14 normal women were detected by cytometric bead array. Results The levels of IL-2, IFN-?, TNF-? in ovarian cancer patients were obviously lower than those in normal womens but the levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 were obviously higher. Furthermore, the variance changed along with clinic stage. Conclusion It is suggested that the imbalance of Th1/Th2 type cytokines in ovarian cancer patients may provide clinical index for the evaluation of progression and prognosis.

Objective To compare signal characteristics and image qualities of MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)at 1.5T and 3.0T in patients with the complex adnexal masses.Methods Magnetic resonance imaging including routine MRI and DWI(b=0 s/mm2 ,400 s/mm2 , 600 s/mm2 ,800 s/mm2 ,1 000 s/mm2 )of 1.5T (50 patients with 31 benign and 1 9 malignant lesions )and 3.0T (53 patients with 29 benign and 24 malignant lesions )were performed in 103 patients with histopathologically proved adnexal masses.The optimal b value was analyzed,and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)value and signal intensity (SI)value and contrast to noise ratio (CNR)of solid and cystic components in adnexal masses from both 1.5T and 3.0T MR were respectively compared statistically.Results The 800 s/mm2 was the optimal b value in demonstrating adnexal masses at 1.5T and 3.0T.The CNR of solid and cystic components in adnexal masses were significantly higher at 3.0T than at 1.5T on all b values(all P =0.000).The difference in ADC value of solid lesions between 1.5T and 3.0T on all b values DWI had no statistically significant (all P >0.05),nor did the difference in SI value of solid lesions as well as ADC value of cystic lesions on b800 DWI(P >0.05).Conclusion MR diffusion-weighted imaging at 3.0T compared with 1.5T has quantitative and qualitative advantages of evaluating for adnexal masses,while the 800 s/mm2 is the optimal b value for both of them.

Objective　To evaluate the technique and clinical outcomes of modified transperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.　Methods　A total of 285 patients received the operation with mean age of 67 years (50-76 years) from January 2008 to April 2012.Mean level of PSA was 15.7 μg/L (1.8 -50.0 μg/L),and mean prostatic volume was 44 ml (26 -74 ml). No lymph node or seminal vesicle involvement was found by CT or MR and radionuclide bone scan revealed no metastasis.271 cases were confirmed diagnosis by prostatic biopsy and 14 were detected through pathological studies of TURP specimens.Gleason score ranged from 6 to 8.14 cases were in clinical stage T1b,29 cases in T1c,214 cases in T2 and 28 cases in T3a.Transperitoneal approach and modified technique involving bladder neck dissection,nervesparing technique and vesicoureteral anastomosis were applied on patients.　Results　Mean operative time was 105 min (55 -150 min).Mean intraoperative estimated blood loss was 240 ml (50-800 ml).Rectal injures occurred in 2 cases and were repaired under laparoscopy.Drainage tube and urinary catheter were removed 48 -72 h and 5 -8 d postoperatively.Postoperative hospital stay was 7 d (5 - 11 d).Positive surgical margin was present in 58 patients.Mean follow-up time was 29 months (3 -50 months).Complete continence were found in 208 patients immediately after catheter removal.68 patient recovered continence within 3 months and 9 patients remained incontinence 3 months after surgery. Normal erection presented in 42 of the 57 cases with nerve-sparing.　Conclusions　Transperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is safe and efficient.Higher efficiency and lower complication rate have been achieved through modified laparoscopic technique involving bladder neck dissection,nerve-sparing technique and vesicoureteral anastomosis.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of differentiating lymph node metastases of four types of primary tumors (lymphoma, lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma) using gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) . Methods Three cases with lymphoma (28 lymph node), five cases with lung adenocarcinoma(30 lymph node), four cases with lung squamous cell carcinoma(24 lymph node) and two cases with cholangiocarcinoma( 10 lymph node) were evaluated by germstona spectra imaging CT scans. Imaging protocol included unenhanced conventional CT scan (120 kVp) ,enhanced GSI (80/140 kVp) on arterial phase and conventional CT scan (120 kVp) on portal phase. CT attenuation values of lymph nodes in the monochromatic images at 11 sets of keV levels (40-140 keV, 10 keV step) and the iodine and water contents of these lymph nodes were measured. All results were analyzed with ANOVA and t test. Results The optimal monochromatic level was 70 keV for the optimal contrast-noise ratio (CNR) of metastatic lymphadenopathy. The CT attenuation values of metastatic lymphadenopathy were (81.36 ±9. 81 ), (58.33 ± 21.55 ), (56. 47 ± 10.62) and (73. 57 ±4. 43 ) HU,respectively, at 70 keV( F = 17.29, P ＜0. 01 ). There were significant differences in CT attenuation values between lymphoma and lung adenocarcinoma, between lymphoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma and between lung squamous cell carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (P ＜ 0. 05 ). The differences in CT attenuation values were significant between cholangiocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, between cholangiocarcinoma and lymphoma ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). There was no difference in CT attenuation values at all 11 sets of keV levels between lung squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The iodine contents of lymphoma, lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma were ( 1. 93 ± 0. 04 ), ( 1.16 ± 0. 15 ), ( 1.25 ± 0. 21 ) and ( 1.44 ± 0. 04 ) g/L, respectively. The water contents of lymphoma, lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma were (1029.40 ± 20. 85), (1024.98 ± 11.19), (1022.12 ± 12. 94) and (1030.87 ± 10.10) g/L,respectively. Except between lung squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma, the differences in the iodine contents of metastatic lymphadenopathy were significant among tumors ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). There was no difference in the water contents of metastatic lymphadenopathy among tumors ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions Although CT spectral imaging fails to differentiate metastatic lymphadenopathy of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, it is also a promising method of distinguishing metastatic lymphadenopathy of malignant tumors by CT attenuation values in monochromatic images and iodine contents in material density images. The optimal monochromatic level was determined to be at 70 keV for providing the optimal CNR of metastatic lymphadenopathy.
