Objective To investigate the expression of Survivin gene and the relationship between Survivin and genesis and development of cervical cancer. Methods The expression of Survivin gene in tissues of 40 patients with cervical cancer, 38 patients with cervical hyperplasia and 10 cases of normal cervical were detected by immunohistochemical SP method, and the relationships between Survivin and the clinical pathological factors were analyzed. Results The expression positive rate of Survivin in cervical cancer tissues (60 %) was significantly higher than that in cervical hyperplasia and normal cervical tissues (42.1 % and 0, respectively), and their differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of Survivin was related with histological grade and the clinical stages of cervical cancer.Conclusion Survivin is related to the genesis and development of cervical cancer.

Objective To evaluate the abilities and thresholds of stroke volume variation (SVV) and pleth variability index (PVI) in predicting fluid responsiveness during increased intra-abdominal pressure.Methods 28 patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy were selected.PV1 was continuously displayed by the Masimo.Radical 7.All patients were also monitored with Vigileo/FloTrac system.Haemodynamic data such as MAP,HR,SVI,SVV,PI,PVI and C VP were recorded before and after volume expansion(HES 6％,7ml/kg).Fluid responsiveness was defined as an increase in SVI≥ 15％ (△ SVI ≥ 15).Results The SVV threshold of 9.5％ before volume expansion was able to diserimihate the responders from the non-responders with a sensitivity of 100％,and a specificity of 63.6％.The threshold for PVI was 14.0％,the sensitivity of 100％ and specificity of 81.8％ were obtained.There was no significant difference between the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves of SVV and PVI(0.981,0.939,respectively),and there was significant correlation between the baseline SVV and the baseline PVI(r =0.740,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion SVV and PVI can predict fluid responsiveness accurately during increased intra-abdominal pressure,the baseline SVV is correlated well with baseline PVI,and the ability of SVV and PVI in predicting fluid responsiveness is similar.

Medicine is a practical application subject,so medical students should conduct numerous clinical practice to improve operation skills and clinical diagnosis ability The ability of clinical practice is one of most important indicators to evaluate medical education quality.In recent years,medical students have been affected by many kinds of adverse factors,such as new doctor-patient relationship,the medical reform and employment pressure and so on.All these adverse factors will bring a great challenge to the dental clinical teaching.In the new medical situation we need urgently to solve the problems to guide students to improve clinical practice ability and cultivate qualified dental professionals

Objective The facial soft tissue features were studied in Urumqi adolescent with skeletal Ⅱ malocclusion by using a polar coordinate system. Methods Sixty samples of Urumqi adolescent with skeletal Ⅱ malocclusion were selected, each one underwent cephalometrics analysis and 32 cephalometric parameters from the samples were measured. The mean and standard deviations of each measurement were compared by statistical analysis (t-test). Results Polar distance in male was larger than female, showing significant difference between male and female. Po-Ns/Po-Li, Po-Ns/Po-Bs, Po-Ns/PoPgs, Po-Ns/Po-Gns, and Po-Ns/Po-Mes showed significant difference between male and female. Polar angles in female were larger than male, with a significant difference between male and female.Conclusion Statisticalstudies on features of facial soft tissue show significant differences between male and female. The polar coordinate analysis system is a good index to study the growth magnititude and direction of facial soft tissue during growth and development or before treatment and after treatment.

40), the values of BIS, electromyogram (EMG), signal quality index (SQI), mean arterial pressure(MAP), and heart rate(HR) were recorded every minute for 5min, then additional vecuronium (0.05mg/kg) was administered, and the values of the parameters above mentioned were registered for the next 10min. Results BIS value decreased significantly 3 min after the administration of the additional vecuronium (P0.05). Conclusion A misleading BIS value may be caused by the decline of muscle relaxant during the maintenance stage of propofol/fentanyl anesthesia, which greatly influence the accuracy of BIS monitoring.

BACKGROUND:The cytokine has an effect of immunoregulation and immediate induction in the reconstruction of periodontal tissue. At present, the role and mechanism of hepatocyte growth factor involving the reconstruction of periodontal tissue under orthodontic force are stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism underlying hepatocyte growth factor in the tooth movement and periodontal tissues remodeling under the inflammation periodontal tissue condition.
METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, were used to establish periodontitis model. The obtained model was randomly divided into two groups:inflammatory control group and inflammatory force group. In the force group, rats were treated with the fixed orthodontic appliance by 50 g forces in the maxil ary first molars. After 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days of tooth movement, five rats were sacrificed respectively. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry methods were used to analyze the expression and distribution of hepatocyte growth factor in the periodontium for rats at different tooth movement stages.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that, remodeling of periodontal tissues existed in al groups. (2) The immunohistochemical results showed that hepatocyte growth factor had positive expression in periodontal tissue, and the distribution was even in the control group. In the force group, hepatocyte growth factor expression was increased and reached the peak on day 5, then began to decline. Osteoblast, fibroblast and osteoclast were strongly expressed. The findings indicate that, hepatocyte growth factor is involved in the periodontal tissues remodeling under orthodontic force, and inflammation can increase the expression of hepatocyte growth factor in periodontal tissue.
