Objective:To investingate potential correlations between FOXC1 expression and clinicopathologic features of endometrial cancer and cervical cancer.Methods:FOXC1 protein expression in 54 cases of cervical cancer and 23 of endometrial cancer were investigated with immunohistochemistry.Results:FOXC1 protein expression was observed in cancer tissues,including both endometrial and cervical cancer.Positive FOXC1 expression was revealed in 20(87.0%)of endometrial cancer and 29(53.7%)of cervical cancer.Significant correlation in retrospective study was observed between FOXC1 protein expression and histological grades(P0.05).Conclusion:FOXC1 may play a role in tumorigenesis of cervical cancer.FOXC1 may have no correlation with tumorigenesis of endometrial cancer.

Pregnancy stress may significantly elevate the level of CRH and cortisol, which contributes to the bad pregnancy outcomes like premature delivery, low birth weight infant even hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy. It also has close relationship with postpartum depression. In addition, it has a bad influence on offsprings’ mental growth, behavior development and the development of central nervous system.

Objective: To investigate the state of calcium-phosphorus metabolism and serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, to analyze clinical characters, and to provide scientific basis for clinical treatment. Methods: The data of 100 ESRD patients who received hemodialysis in Peking University First Hospital from January 2000 to July 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: (1) The levels of serum total calcium were adjusted by serum albumin. There were 15 patients with hypocalcemia and 85 patients with normocalcemia or hypercalcemia. 31.8% of the latter took calcium-containing phosphate binders or/and vitamin D. In the 14 patients with hypocalcemia and 58 patients without low serum calcium who did not take calcium-containing phosphate binders or/and vitamin D, we found the levels of carbon dioxide combining power (CO 2CP) were lower in the group of hypocalcemia (P

Objective To evaluate the acute effects of different calcium concentration dialysate (1.25 mmol/L, 1.5 mmol/L, 1.75 mmol/L) on calcium balance and intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients with normal serum tCa, and to provide scientific basis for individualized calcium concentration dialysate formula. Methods Dialysate with different calcium concentration (DCa1.25, DCa1.5, DCa1.75) was used in twelve stable MHD patients. Serum tCa, iCa(normalized to pH 7.4) and iPTH were assessed before and after each dialysis session with different calcium concentration dialysate. The iCa from fresh dialysate, spent dialysate at every 30 minutes interval and final total mixed spent dialysate were examined respectively. Phosphorus removal was also determined. Arterial blood pressure(BP) was measured every 30 minutes during hemodialysis session. Results With the DCa1.25, mean calcium loss was 5.03 mmol, but no significant changes of serum iCa and tCa between pre dialysis and post dialysis were found. Serum iPTH increased from (127.17?89.22)pg/ml to (281.92?244.84)pg/ml significantly (P

Objective:To investigate the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and its pathology relationship in IgA nephropathy(IgAN),so as to deduce the pathogenetic condition and prognosis,and guide the clinic therapy.Methods: 53 cases of IgAN were analyzed retrospectively,syndrome differentiations were concluded by the diagnosis criteria of TCM syndrome in the clinic research and guiding principe of the curment new herd in chronic nephritis in 2002 into deficiency of spleen and kidney qi,deficiency of liver and kidney yin,deficiency of both qi and yin,and the accompanied syndrome as affection of exogenous wind-heat,endoretention of damp-heat and blood stagnation.The relationship among pathological parameters,pathological stages and the above syndromes were observed.Results:Compared the three clinical syndromes of deficiency of spleen and kidney qi,deficiency of liver and kidney yin and deficiency of both qi and yin of 53 cases of patients,pathology change and pathological stage were the lightest in deficiency of spleen and kidney qi,on the contrary,the heaviest in deficiency of both qi and yin,P

Objective To explore the discrepancy of anxiety and depression between breast cancer patients and general population,to provide reference for psychological ethical intervention.Methods Breast cancer patients and general population admitted randomly from October.2008 to April.2009 were assessed according to Self-reporting inventory,Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS).Patients with breast cancer were come into the study group(n=100) and general population come into the control group(n=100),and then psychological ethical intervention was provided to each group.Results The Morbidity of anxiety and depression in breast cancer patients is much higher than that in the general population(P

Objective To study the expression and the significance of phosphorylated P38(p-P38) and uPA in breast cancer tissues.Methods Immunohistochemistry(S-P) was used to test the protein expression of p-P38 and uPA in 60 specimens from 50 patients with breast cancer.Western blotting was adopted to detect the protein expression of p-P38 and uPA in breast cancer cells and uPA protein expression after incubation with SB203580,an specific inhibitor of P38 MAPK blocked P38 MAPK signaling pathway.Results The positive rates of p-P38 protein and uPA protein in breast cancer tissues were 56.7%and 60.0% respectively.The protein expression level of p-P38 and uPA in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of strict dietary salt restriction on blood pressure and proteinuria in chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) patients. Methods From October 2007 to April 2009, 32 CGN inpatients were enrolled. Among them, 15 patients followed a strict dietary salt restriction menu (sodium 100 mmol/d, potassium 50 mmol/d, protein (0. 8-1. 0) g · kg~(-1) · d~(-1) , calorie (105-125) KJ · kg~(-1) · d~(-1) ) for 7 days, while the other 17 patients were fed freely offered by hospital as controls. 24 h urinary sodium excretion (24h-UNa) was used to monitor the salt intake. No changes of drug therapy were made during the study. Blood pressure was monitored every day. 24-hour urinary protein and serum biochemical parameter were measured before and after the study. Results There was no significant difference of baseline 24h-UNa between the two groups [(135.1 ±50.4) mmol/d vs (137.4 ±28.6) mmol/d) ]. During the study, the average 24h-UNa of patients with strict dietary intervention was (97. 2 ± 8.6) mmol/d. Both SBP [ (117. 7 ± 10. 0) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg=0. 133 kPa) vs (106.2 ±9.9) mm Hg] and DBP [ (76. 3 ± 6. 1 ) mm Hg vs (67. 5 ± 5. 5 ) mm Hg] decreased significantly ( P < 0. 001 ) . Proteinuria decreased significantly too [ 1. 57 (0. 3-3. 0) g/d vs 0. 57 (0. 16-2. 72) g/d,P = 0. 006]. The reduction of SBP was positively correlated with the reduction of 24h-UNa (r =0. 572, P =0. 026) , while the reduction of proteinuria correlated with both the reduction of SBP (r = 0. 568, P = 0. 027) and 24h-UNa (r =0. 525, P =0. 044). In the control group, only SBP decreased significantly [ ( 122. 6 ± 15. 5) mm Hg vs (115.8 ±10.4) mm Hg, P = 0.02] without significant changes of DBP and proteinuria When comparing the subgroups who took ACEI/ARB from both groups, the reduction of proteinuria wasmore prominent of those from the study group than the control group [ - 0. 4 ( -0. 95-0. 07) vs 0. 07 ( - 0. 39-0. 42), P = 0. 014 ]. Conclusion Strict dietary salt restriction is effective in reducing blood pressure and proteinuria in CGN patients.

Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in nurses in China.Methods Item analysis and confirmatory factor analysis of CD-RISC was conducted.A total of 1 084 nurses were randomly divided into 2 groups using random number table.One group was used to revise CD-RISC and the other to evaluate its reliability and validity.Results Confirmatory factor analysis of the original RSA showed thatx2/df,RMSEA,GFI,AGFI,CFI were 6.714,0.103,0.804,0.764,and 0.718,respectively.The number of item was reduced to 21 based on exploratory factor analysis results,including three factors which explained 54.034％ of the total variance.Factor loading ranged from 0.490 to 0.755.Coefficient of internal consistency ranged from 0.688 to 0.930 and the 4 week test-retest reliabilities ranged from 0.825 to 0.917.The factor scores were closely correlated with the total scores with correlation coefficient ranging from 0.683 to 0.943.The factors were closely correlated with each other with correlation coefficient ranging from 0.564 to 0765.The confirmatory factor analysis of the revised CD-RISC showed that x2/df,RMSEA,GFI,AGF,CFI were 3.304,0.065,0.902,0.878,and 0.913 respectively.The total scores and all factors were negatively correlated with depression and anxiety and somatization.Conclusions The revised CD-RISC has good psychometric properties and can be used to measure the resilience of nurses.

Objective To isolate enterovirus 71 from a death children,and analyze whether the neurovirulence was related to the variation of nucleotide and amino acid. Methods Enterovirus 71 was isolated from throat swabs which were colleted from Shandong Linyi People's Hospital. The full length genome was sequenced by amplification with RT-PCR and sequencing of 9 overlapped gene fragments covering full length of the genomes. The nucleotide and amino acid sequenced was aligned by BLAST, Bioedit and MEGA 4. Results A strain of enterovirus 71 was isolated and named as SDLY107. The full length was 7405 bp. The results of homology analysis of overall nucleotide sequence showed that strain Fuyang. Anhui. P. R. C/17.08/2 had highest homology (98.6%)with strain SDLY107, and the homology was 80.0% between strain SDLY107 with prototype strain BrCr/70,and 86. 5% between strain SDLY107 with nerve strain MS/87. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the phylogeny was close between SDLY107 with some isolated strains from Chinese Mainland, such as Beijing, Henan, Guangxi, Sbenzhen, Lanzhou, Fuyang, Chongqing and Zhejiang strains, which was clustered for C4 subtype. The results of amino acid sequence analysis showed that there were 2 mutations, E947D and K1873R, for strain SDLY107. Conclusion SDLY107 belonged to C4 subtype, amino acid mutations E947D and K1873R of which may be relevant to the pathogenicity of EV71.
