Objective:To study the mutation frequencies of the exon 5 and the exon 8 of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten) gene in gastric carcinoma and investigate the relationship of the gene mutation and pathological differentiation and clinical stage.Methods:The mutation of exon 5 and exon 8 of PTEN gene was detected in 42 gastric carcinoma samples and the matched adjacent normal gastric mucosa with polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP) method.The PCR products of mutant samples were analysed by DNA sequencing technique.Results:The mutation of PTEN was shown in 3 of the 42 gastric carcinoma tissues and in none of the adjacent normal tissues.The mutation rates of PTEN gene in poorly differentiated and well differentiated samples were 12.00% and 0,respectively (P0.05).The mutation rates of PTEN gene in clinical stage Ⅰand Ⅱ (5.88%) had no significant difference with that in clinical stage Ⅲand Ⅳ (8.00%) (P0.05).Conclusion:PTEN gene mutation occurs mainly in poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma tissues,and the mutation rate is not related to pathological differentiation and clinical stage.

Objective To study the effect o f levamisole against the invasion of Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. Methods Mice infected wit h Schistosoma cercariae were administered orally with levamisole hydrochloride or alkali levamisole two days before the infectio n at a dose of 26.25 mg/kg for 7 days. The liniments of levamisole hydrochlorid e and alkali levamisole were embrocated on the mouse skin two days, one day and 0 day before the infection respectively, and the concentrations of the drug were 1%, 2%, 3%, 5% and 7% respectively. The experimental animals were dissected 4 we eks after the treatment and adult worms were collected. Results The worm reduction rates of mice administered orally with leva misole hydrochloride or alkali levamisole were both 0. The worm reduction rates were both 100% when the mice were embrocated with 5% levamisole hydrochloride on the infection day or with 7% levamisole hydrochloride one day before the infect ion. The worm reduction rates were all 100% when the mice were embrocated with 2 %, 3% or 5% alkali levamisole one day before the infection. Conc lusions Levamisole liniments can prevent from S . japonicum cercaria infection, and alkali levamisole is better th an levamisole hydrochloride. When levamisole is given orally, no effect was show n.

Ferulof en ( FL, 45mg and 200mg/kg im ) showed marked antipyretic effect on rabbit fever induced by typho-paratyhoid vaccine and on rat fever induced by yeast powder suspension respectively. Their potency and action phase were similar to those of aspirin ( 35mg and 100mg/kg) . Furthermore, it blocked the action potential of sciatic nerve in toad to some extent and had a certain local anesthetic effect on guinea pigs in intradermic wheal test, but much weaker than procaine and lidocaine at the same concentration. It had no obvious influence on corneal reflex in rabbits.It can be concluded from these findings that together with the results of previous paper the findings of this paper further indicated FL may be proved to be a new antiinflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic drug.

To investigate the diagnosis and surgical treatment of inraspinal tumors.
The clinical data of 246 patients with inraspinal tumors who had undergone operations in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical Col ege between January 2010 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment and prognosis of inraspinal tumors were reviewed.
262 operations were performed, with posterior bilateral laminectomy approach in 202 cases, semi-laminectomy approach in 28 cases, laminoplasty approach in 10 cases, and lateral resection of extra-vertebral canal dumbbel shaped tumors in 22 cases. The short-term remission rate of the nerve root pain reached 95.0%(133/140), and the improvement rates of the sensory disability, motor disturbance, and sphincter dysfunction were 85.6%(125/146), 86.7%( 136/157), and 84.6(11/13) respectively. The ASIA nervous function scores and grades at the last fol ow-up were significantly superior to those before and 3 months after the operation in 236 patients.
Intraspinal tumors are mostly benign. The clinical appearance of them should be watched closely, and thorough physical check-up should be performed. MRI is the examination of choice at early diagnosis. The key to improve the treatment effects is to perform operations as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the association between the glycated albumin to glycated hemoglobin (GA/A1c) ratio and carotid plaque. Methods Type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients in endocrine inpatient department of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital were chosen whose clinical data were collected. Results Of the recruited 154 T2DM patients , GA/HbA1c ratio was negatively correlated with BMI , blood uric acid and was positively correlated with age, HCY, FBG, PBG, left carotid IMT and right carotid IMT. In terms of carotid plaque, GA, GA/HbA1c ratio and HCY were higher in carotid plaque positive patients than those without carotid plaque. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that GA/HbA1c ratio was significantly associated with the presence of carotid plaque (P=0.008). Conclusions GA/HbA1c ratio was positively correlated with the presence of carotid artery IMT in T2DM This suggests that GA/HbA1c ratio will serve as a useful clinical marker for predicting diabetic cardiovascular complications.

[摘 要] 目的:分析干扰素基因刺激因子(STING)在肺腺癌中的表达及其与肺腺癌患者临床特征间的关系,探讨STING与内质网应激的相关性及其在调控肺腺癌进展中的作用机制。方法:利用TIMER数据库分析STING基因在泛癌水平的表达情况,利用UALCAN和HPA数据库分析STING在肺腺癌组织中的表达及其与肺腺癌患者临床特征间的关系,利用Kaplan-Meier生存函数分析STING表达与肺腺癌患者OS率间的关系。利用LinkedOmics数据库对肺腺癌表达谱数据进行STING基因共表达分析,对STING相关差异表达基因(DEG)进行GO功能与KEGG通路富集分析,通过GSEA筛选STING调控肺腺癌的潜在通路。使用STING激动剂diABZI及内质网应激抑制剂TUDCA对肺腺癌A549与H460细胞进行处理,通过qPCR、WB法检测STING及内质网应激相关分子的表达,通过CCK-8法检测细胞增殖活力。结果:肺腺癌组织和细胞中STING的表达水平均显著低于正常肺组织(均P<0.01),STING高表达肺腺癌患者5年OS率显著高于低表达患者(P<0.01),STING的表达与肺腺癌患者的年龄、性别等临床特征密切相关(均P<0.01)。STING高表达在肺腺癌外源性抗原处理及提呈等通路上存在富集(均P<0.01)。使用STING激动剂可显著诱导肺腺癌细胞发生内质网应激(P<0.05),STING诱导活化后肺腺癌细胞增殖活力显著下降(均P<0.01),内质网应激抑制剂能部分恢复STING活化诱导后下降的细胞活力(P<0.05)。结论:STING基因在肺腺癌中低表达,其表达下调与肺腺癌患者预后不良相关,其机制可能是STING通过诱导内质网应激而抑制肺腺癌细胞活力。
