Objective To study the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in human gastric cancer and evaluate their effects on carcinogenesis,cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma,as well as clinical significance.Methods The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 were detected by immunohistochemical method (streptavidin-peroxidase) in the tissues of 75 primary gastric carcinomas and 15 gastric ulcers.Results The positive expression rate of DCR3 in gastric carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues,and the expression of PTEN and Fas was obviously lower than that in normal tissues (P<0.01).The expression of DCR3 was negatively correlated with Fas and PTEN respectively (r=-0.720,P<0.001; r=-0.336,P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between PTEN and Fas.The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis,clinical stage,histological differentiation grade and tumor depth of gastric cancer,but not related to sex,age and tumor size (P>0.05).Conclusion PTEN,DCR3 and Fas have mutual restrictive relationships in the process of invasion and metastasis in gastric cancer.Detecting the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in gastric cancer is helpful to judge the malignant biological behavior of gastric cancer at a different angle,which may be considered as reliability index in clinic diagnosis,judging curative effect and monitoring the prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To study the changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and beta 2-microglobulin levels before and after radiotherapy in 58 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and to elucidate the clinical significance of VEGF and beta 2-microglobulin test before radiotherapy. METHODS: Serum VEGF level was measured by sandwich ELISA in 58 patients with NPC and 24 healthy individuals, and the serum beta 2-microglobulin was assayed with time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay. RESULTS: The serum VEGF level in patients with NPC was (174.0+/-130.0) ng/L, higher than (134.1+/-66.6) ng/L of the healthy subjects, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The serum VEGF level was higher in T4 and IV a patients with NPC. No significant differences in the levels of serum VEGF were found among various N classifications in the patients with NPC. Patients with the serum VEGF level higher than 267.3 ng/L (mean+2 s of the serum VEGF level in the healthy individuals) had a shorter metastasis-free survival time (P<0.05). Although the patients with high beta 2-microglobulin level had a shorter survival time, the difference was not significant. CONCLUSION: The NPC patients with high serum VEGF level have a poor prognosis.

Objective To observe the effect of intravenous pre-injection of neostigmine on cardiovascular response(CVR) caused by neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) in selective posterior rhizotomy(SPR) for patients with cerebral palsy.Methods 56 patients with cerebral palsy undergoing SPR at lumbarsacral segments under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to 2 groups: intravenous neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg(no more than 1 mg in total) and intravenous atropine 0.02 mg/kg(no more than 0.5 mg in total) 5 min before NMES in group N,and intravenous normal saline 0.12 ml/kg instead in group C.The systolic blood pressure(SBP) and heart rate(HR) at following time points: before skin incision(T1),before intravenous neostigmine/atropine or normal saline injection(T2),1 min after NMES(T3),and 10 min after NMES(T4).Results SBP and HR at T3 in group N were significantly lower than those in group C(P<0.01).No significant difference was found at T1,T2 and T4 between two groups(P>0.05).Cases who needed extra dose of fentanyl during NMES in group N were significantly lower than those in group C(P<0.01).Conclusion Intravenous pre-injection of neostigmine before NMES can effectively decrease the CVR caused by NMES.

Objective To observe the post-operative analgesic effect of flurbiprofen Axetil applied preoperatively on patients with spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods46 SCI patients undergoing spine surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the flurbiprofen axetil group(group F)and control group(group C)with 23 cases in each group.Before cutting skin,flurbiprofen axetil(1 mg/kg)was injected intravenously in the group F,and normal saline(1 ml/kg)was infected intravenously in the group C.The scores of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)for pain at postoperative 2,4,8,24,and 48 hours,and the incidence of side effects within 48 hours after operation were recorded.ResultsVAS scores at the time of 2,4,8,and 24 h after operation in the group F were significantly lower than that in the group C(P<0.05).But VAS scores of two groups at 48 h were not significantly different(P>0.05).The incidences of side effects of two groups were also not significantly different(P>0.05).ConclusionFlurbiprofen axetil applied preoperatively can release pain of SCI patients after spine surgery,and does not increase the incidence of side effects.

Objective To compare the characteristics of total intravenous anesthesia (TIA) with manual assisted ventilation and combined inhalation and intravenous anesthesia (CIIA) with mechanical ventilation in lower limbs orthopedics for patients with cerebral palsy.Methods 50 patients with cerebral palsy undergoing scheduled lower limbs orthopedics were randomly divided into the TIA group and CIIA group with 25 cases in each group. The patients of the TIA group were treated with manual assisted ventilation. Those of the CIIA group were treated with fast induction, endotracheal intubation, inhalated and intravenous anesthetics maintaining the anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. The recovery time after operation and post-operative side effects including nausea, vomiting, and psychomotor agitation of all patients were observed.Results The recovery time of the patients in the CIIA group was significantly longer than that in the TIA group ( P<0.01), and post-operative psychomotor agitation was significantly higher than that in the TIA group ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in nausea or vomiting found between two groups ( P>0.05).Conclusion Patients treated with TIA is easier to recovery and has fewer side effects than those treated with CIIA.
