Objective: Expression of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoproteins was tested in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) in order to find the relationship between the two genes and LSCC, and to explrore their clinical significance by retrospectively study of pathological and clinical doouments. Methods: Immunohistochemical S\|P method was emioyed in testing the expression of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoproteins in 74 patients with LSCC, 24 laryngeal atypical hyperplasis (LAH) and 24 laryngeal normal membrane (LNM). Results: Bcl\|2 oncoprotein was mainly expressed in cytoplasm of epithelium cells and a small part of cell membrances were stained, appearing brow or yellow, granular distribution.There were no expression in the cell nuclear and stroma. Bax oncoprotein was expressed in cytoplasm and cell membrane and there were a little expression in stroma, appearing light brown and yellow, granular distribution. Bax was less stained than Bcl\|2. The positive expression percentages of Bcl\|2 oncoprotein in LSCC, LAH, LNM tissues were 59.46%,66.67% and 20.83% respectively. The Bcl\|2 expressions in LSCC, LAH tissues were significantly higher than that in LNM (P<0.05); The positive expression percentages of Bax oncoprotein in these three groups were 56.76%, 50.0% and 66.67% respectively which were no significant difference. The results of Spearman correlated analysis showed that expression of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoproteins had no obvious correlations with pathological grade, clinical stage and metastasis of lymph node. Both were correlated only with smoking. Conclusions: The imbalance of Bcl\|2/Bax mainly induced by the high expression of Bcl\|2 oncoprotein played an important role in the development of LSCC and LAH, Bcl\|2 may act as a reference index in judging the biological speciality of LSCC; Expressions of Bcl\|2 and Bax oncoprotein had obvious corelation with smoking in LSCC, indicating Bcl\|2 and Bax genes may be a target of carcinogenic substance in tobacco; Expression of Bcl\|2 oncoprotein was blocked may be an important part in studying gene therapy for the future.

Objective To detect the clinical value of evaluating myocardial viability in patients with old myocardial infaretion(OMI) by measuring myocardial isovolumie contraction motion indices with tissue Doppler imaging(TDI) under the quiescent condition. Methods The myocardial isovolumic contraction motion indices of 30 normal subjects and 30 patients with OMI were examined by TDI. The sample gate was located at left ventricular postero-septal,lateral,anterior,inferior,antero-septal and posterior walls in basal and middle segments separately. The peak positive and negative veiocities(VIVC1 ,VIVC2 ) during myocardial isovohimic contraction phase, and the difference(DIVC) between VIVC1 and VIVC2 were measured, which were analysed combined with the viable fraction(VF) calculated by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Results VIVC1, DIVC were significantly decreased,and VIVC2 was significantly increased in infarct zones of patients with OMI than those of the normal subjects( P <0.05). Compared with normal subjects, myocardial isovolumic contraction motion indices of non-infarct wails in patients with OMI were steady( P >0.05). In OMI group,DIVC of short axis was significantly decreased than that in long axis( P <0.05). Statistic analysis showed that DIVC values on both of short and long axis had significant positive correlations with VF derived from SPECT,and the correlation coefficients were 0. 837 ( P<0. 001) and 0. 797( P<0. 001 ) ,respectively. The sensibility and specificity of evaluating viable myocardium was 75% and 75% separately supposing the cutoff of DIVC on short axis was more than - 1.50,and the sensibility and specificity was 77. 8% and 87.5% separately if the cutoff of DIVC on long axis was more than 0.92. Conclusions Myocardial isovolumic contraction's TDI of infarct zones in patients with OMI had characteristic changes. DIVC on both of short and long axis could be as a new method of evaluating myocardial viability.
