Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Insulin like growth factor-ⅡmRNA binding protein3 (IMP3) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods One hundred and fifteen cases of GIST were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for IMP3 (SP method) and ki67 (iVisionTM method ). The relationship between IMP3 expression with clinicopathologic parameters and Ki67 proliferation indexes were analyzed. In situ hybridization detection of IMP3 mRNA was performed in 20 cases of GIST positive. Results The expression rate of IMP3 was 56.2%(65/115) in GIST positive. A significant correlation can be found between IMP3 expression and tumor of infiltration , coagulative necrosis , metastasis , nuclear atypia , diameter , mitotic count , risk grade of NIH (P < 0.05), while there was no significant correlation between IMP3 and gender, age, primary location, categories of cell type (P>0.05). There was positive correlation of IMP3 expression and Ki67 labeling indexes by Spearman analysis. Positive expression with IMP3 can be observed in 3 cases of recurrence.It may play important role in invasive and development and may be an important factor of prognosis in GIST.

AIM:To establish the murine model of oxygen induced retinopathy ( OIR) and to evaluate the inhibition of retinal neovascularization by erythropoietin ( EPO) blockade.
METHODS: Neonates of C57BL/6 mouse ( P7 ) were exposed to 75%±2% oxygen for 5d and return to normal air environment when 12d ( P12 ) to establish oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization model. The neonates were divided into groups, injected with 0. 5μL solution containing 25ng ( group A), 50ng ( group B), 250ng ( group C) of soluble erythropoietin receptor ( EPO-R) or PBS (group D) at P12, P14 and P16 in the right eye. On P17, the litters were sacrificed and their right eyes were enucleated and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, made pathological section. The number of breakthrough internal limiting membrane neovascular nuclei was counted with pathological retinal morphology, understanding theproliferative degree of retinal neovascularization.
RESULTS: The pathological sections showed the neovascular cell nuclei which penetrating the inner limiting membrane in intravitreal EPO receptor injection group was reduced statistically than that in PBS injection group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). And, neovascular nuclei count differences in the
various concentrations of EPO receptor group was statistically significant (P<0. 01). With the EPO receptor concentration increase, neovascular endothelial cells broken through the internal limiting membrane was reduced.
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of soluble EPO receptor can block EPO and improve neovascularization. The new method is expected to become new treatment of ocular neovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the existence of the erythropoiesis inhibitors(?).Methods Twelve patients suffered from uremia with anemia were studied[5 males,and 7 females,(50?12)years].Methylcellulose culture technique was used to culture mice bone marrow cells.The sera from the uremia patients were added to CFU- E and BFU-E culture medium with final concentrations of 1,25%,2.5% and 5%,Mice bone marrow cells were ob- tained from the female Balb/c mice.In vitro CFU-E and BFU-E culture in the presence of sera from uremia patients was compared with that in the presence of normal human subjects with the use of normal mice bone marrows.Re- suits The effects of the sera from uremia patients on CFU-E and BFU-E colon growth were in a dose-dependent manner.The effect was correlated with the concentrations of the sera(P

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia among residents in Chengdu City, so as to provide insights into improving the prevention and control of dyslipidemia. Methods: Based on the baseline survey of the Natural Population Cohort Study in Southwest China, residents aged 30 to 79 years was selected from 34 towns (communities) in 5 counties (districts) of Chengdu City using the multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method in 2018. Demographic information and lifestyle behaviors were collected through questionnaires. Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, serum uric acid, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were collected through physical examination and laboratory tests. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the factors affecting dyslipidamia. Results: A total of 21 113 participants were surveyed, including 9 331 males (44.20%) and 11 782 females (55.80%), and had a mean age of (50.80±12.32) years. The prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 35.64%, and the prevalence rates of high TG, low-HDL-C, high TC and high LDL-C were 17.25%, 11.88%, 10.11% and 7.35%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified gender (male, OR=1.584, 95%CI: 1.463-1.716), age (50 to 79 years old, OR：1.221-1.444, 95%CI: 1.079-1.632), residence (urban, OR=1.123, 95%CI: 1.052-1.198), marital status (not married, OR=1.246, 95%CI: 1.128-1.376), educational level (high school and above, OR=0.914, 95%CI: 0.849-0.983), current smoking (OR=1.220, 95%CI: 1.121-1.327), drinking (1 to 2 d/week, OR=1.525, 95%CI: 1.368-1.700; 3 to 5 d/week, OR=1.857, 95%CI: 1.575-2.191; almost every day, OR=1.512, 95%CI: 1.269-1.801), sedentary time in leisure time (>2 h/d, OR=1.123, 95%CI: 1.046-1.206), central obesity (OR=2.212, 95%CI: 1.986-2.265), hypertension (OR=1.489, 95%CI: 1.388-1.598), diabetes (OR=1.998, 95%CI: 1.833-2.157) and hyperuricemia (OR=2.012, 95%CI: 1.848-2.192) as factors affecting dyslipidemia. Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia among residents in Chengdu City was mainly associated with smoking, drinking, sedentary time, central obesity, hypertension, diabetes and hyperuricemia.

Objective To observe the expression of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) in the kidney after ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI),and explore its relationship with macrophage during the IRI kidney.Methods A total of 28 healthy C57BL/6 male mice were used to establish renal IRI model by clamping both pedicles for 35 min followed by reperfusion.Kidney tissue samples were collected at indicated time points.Renal histological changes were estimated.The expression of SDF-1 was determined by immunohistochemistry,ELISA and real-time PCR.After the liposomal clodronate was injected intraperitoneally,the location of CD68 was observed by immunofluorescence.Renal histology and protein expression of SDF-1 were also detected.Results Compared with sham-operated group,classical tubular damage was found in IRI group,accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cells.The expression of total renal SDF-1 peaked on day 1 and decreased to control levels in the following days.SDF-1 in healthy kidney was localized at cortex,but spread to the corticomedullary area of the kidney during IRI.Compared with IRI groups,elimination of macrophage by injection of liposomal clodronate alleviated renal IRI and down-regulated the expressions of CD68 while up-regulating SDF-1.Conclusions SDF-1 expression is up-regulated in IRI kidney and is associated with macrophage.SDF-1 may play a role in the early phase of acute kidney injury and it may be a new marker in diagnosis of AKI.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of capsule endoscopy (CE), CT enterography (CTE), ileocolonoscopy and small bowel follow through (SBFT) for small bowel Crohn's disease (CD). Methods Fifty-seven consecutive patients with CD underwent ileocolonoscopy, CTE, CE, and SBFT. It included the presence of the following symptoms and signs: abdominal pain, weight loss,diarrhea, fever and positive fecal occult blood test. The location and the characteristics of intestinal and extra-intestinal lesions detected by four techniquks were compared. The proportions of patients with positive findings using each examination were compared. Results Of the 57 patients, 50 underwent ileocolonoscopy, terminal ileum lesion was found in 33 patients (66. 00% ), the remaining 17 (34.0%)were normal; among 34 patients who had CTE, 29 of small bowel lesion were found (85. 29% ); CE were performed in 27 patients, due to prolonged gastric transit one time, the capsule did not reach the cecum in one patient during battery lifetime. CE showed small bowel lesion in 26 patients (96.30% ); SBF was performed in 39 patients and 26 of small bowel lesion were detected (66. 67% ). CE had the highest diagnostic yield for CD and ileocolonoscopy had the lowest, and there were statistically significant difference among the 4 examinations (P = 0. 006 ). The combinded positive rates of two methods were: CE + CTE 92. 86% (13/14), SBFT + CTE 90. 91% (20/22), CE + ileocolonoscopy 95. 65% (22/23), CE + SBFT100% (17/17), ileocolonoscopy + CTE 89. 66% ( 26/29 ), ileocolonoscopy + SBFT 77.78% ( 28/36 ), but there were no significant differences between each two examinations. Conclusion CE, CTE have a higher yield in depicting mild to moderate finding of CD than SBFT. CE is better for assessing early mucosal disease,whereas CTE is better for detecting transmural and extraluminal abnormalities. Most important, CE plus CTE may depict nonobstructive CD of the small bowel when conventional techniques such as ileocolonoscopy or SBFF have negative or inconclusive finding. CE provides us explanations for the symptoms of patients, decision to follow up or therapy.

Purpose To investigate the value of MRI T2 mapping imaging in diagnosis of lumbar intervertebral disc degenerative (IVDD).Materials and Methods A prospective study was performed on 100 patients who underwent 1.5T MRI examination because of lumbar and back pain from October 2013 to December 2015 at the Fifth People's Hospital of Shanghai,Fudan University.The MRI examinations included conventional sagittal T1WI and T2WI,axial T2WI and median sagittal T2 mapping imaging.According to Pfirrmann standard,475 lumbar intervertebral discs were graded.T2 values of nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) of anteriority and posterior with different grades were measured and compared.The correlations between T2 value,age and grade were further analyzed.30 patients were selected and underwent a second MR examination after half a year,and the difference of T2 values between the two MR examinations were compared.Results Except for grade Ⅳ and grade Ⅴ,the differences of T2 values of NP between the other grades of lumbar intervertebral discs were statistically significant (P＜0.05).T2 values of NP were negatively correlated with the grades (r=-0.77).There were no significant differences in T2 values of NP and AF of anteriority and posterior in 30 patients with back pain between the two MR measurements of half year interval (P＞0.05).Conclusion T2 mapping imaging can quantitatively assess the degree of IVDD,especially T2 values of NP can reflect the differences of IVDD with grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ,so it can provide the imaging evidence for the diagnosis of IVDD.
