OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of PTEN and VEGF gene in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and their clinical significance. METHODS The expression of PTEN and VEGF gene were examined by using immunohistochemical S-P staining method in 10 cases of normal tissues, 20 cases of para-tumor tissues and 60 cases of LSCC. RESULTS The positive rates of PTEN in normal tissues, para-tumor tissues and LSCC were 100.0 %, 95.0 %, and 70.0 % respectively (P＜0.05),and VEGF protein showed positive expression of 20.0 %,50.0 %,73.3% in normal, para-tumor and LSCC tissues with statistical significance(P＜0.05), In LSCC, the expression of PTEN and VEGF was positively correlated with TNM stage, differentiation of tumor, cervical and distant metastasis of lymph node, 3-year survive rate of patients(P＜0.05),No significant association was observed in expression of PTEN and VEGF with tumor location,patient's age and sex(P＞0.05). Spearman correlation analysis revealed that PTEN was negatively correlated with VEGF expression(?=-0.3948, P=0.0018). CONCLUSION The aberrant expression of PTEN and VEGF may play a role in occurrence, progression and metastasis of LSCC.

Objective To observe the influence of intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate (HA) on mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1, -3 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 in cartilage and synovium of osteoarthritis (OA) . Methods Sixteen white rabbits underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection and were divided into 2 groups randomly 5 weeks after transection. Experimental group rabbits received 0.3 ml of intra-articular 1% HA injection once a week. Animals in control group were treated under the same condition using saline. At death, 10 weeks following surgery, histological changes of articular cartilage of medial femoral condyle were evaluated by microscopy. The mRNA expression of MMP-1, MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium was analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . Results Cartilage degradation in experimental group was significantly less severe than that in the control group. The expression of MMP-3 mRNA in synovium was significantly suppressed in experimental group compared with the control group (0.40?0.10 vs 0.62?0.13). HA treatment had no effect on MMP-3 expression in cartilage. No significant difference of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 expression in cartilage and synovium was found between experimental group and control group. Conclusion HA can alleviate the degeneration of articular cartilage of OA. One possible mechanism of the therapeutic effect of HA may be inhibition of expression of MMP-3 in synovium during early stage of OA.

Objective In previous study,we carried out refined mapping of loss of heterzygosity (LOH) on 1q31.1-32.1 and found that a minimal region of frequent deletion was located at DIS413-D1S2622,which indicated that the region could harbor a tumor suppressor gene associated with colorectal carcinoma.This study was to screen for the potential tumor suppressor gene (TSG) on D1S413-D1S2622 in Chinese origin patients with sporadic colorectal cancer.Methods 25 genes located in the D1S413-D1S2622 region were chosen and a microarray-based high throughput screening conducted in 19 sporadic colorectal cancers to identify candidate tumor suppressor genes.The relationship between expression levels of candidate genes and the clinicopathological data was analyzed.Real-time PCR was performed to validate the microarray results.Results According to the microarray-based high throughput screening,we found 4 significantly down-expressed genes,including CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B and CFHL3.There was no significant association between of CFHL3,CSRP1,LMOD1,PPP1R12B expression and the clinicopathological data.CSRP1 could be a colorectal cancer related tumor suppressor gene.CSRP1 was down-regulated in colorectal cancer.Conclusions CSRP1 might be involved in the progression of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To explore the obliteration of the old mastoid cavity and reconstruction of the posterior canal wall after radical mastoidectomy. Method:Posterior canal wall reconstruction and mastoid obliteration of 11 ears of 10 patients with old mastoid cavity for 1 to 6 years after radical mastoidectomy were done using the pedicle postauricular composite skin flap (PPCSF),and their tympanoplasty were performed at the same time. Follow-up was performed at 3 to 30 months. Result:All PPCSFs survived. The old mastoid cavity of 11 ears vanished and reconstructed posterior canal wall remained in normal position without retraction. The drying ear time took 2 to 3 weeks postoperatively,and the symptoms of the radical cavity disease after radical mastoidectomy were cleared up nearly,and the average hearing threshold decreased 13.6 dB HL. The otorrhea and perforation of tympanic membrane resulted from infection happened to 1 of 11 ears three month after the operation. Conclusion: The PPCSF is an effective method in the obliteration of old mastoid cavity and reconstruction of the posterior canal wall. It can reduce drying ear time postoperatively, treat the radical cavity disease after radical mastoidectomy and is beneficial to the tympanoplasty at the posterior external at the same time.

Objective To explore the prevention and treatment effect and its mechanism of Xuebijing injec-tion combined with dexamethasone on rats' paraqnat-induced acute and chronic pulmonary injury.Method One hundred and twenty of male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups:nomud group(A),administrated with saline;model group(B)and treatment groups(group C,D,E,F)were given 20%PQ(100 mg/kg.ip),and 2 hours later the normal and model groups were administrated with the same volume of saline for treatment,rats in group C and group D received 1.25 g/kg and 2.5 g/kg Xuebijing injection respectively.rdts in group E received 25,ng/kg dexamethasone,rats in group F receired 2.5 g/kg Xuebijing injection combined with 2.5 g/kg dexamethasone,one time per day till to be killed,while rats killed at 28 d were treated for 7 days.At 2 d,3 d,4 d after poisoned,five rats in each group were killed,serum SOD,MDA level and arterial gas(at 3 d)were measured.At 28 d,the rest of rats were killed,and serum TGF-β1,lung tissure HYP were measured.The pathology of the lung tissue was ob-served at 3 d and 28 d in guoup A,B,F.Results Compared with group B,poisoning symptoms in the treatment groups were milder and serum.SOD,MDA,TGV-β1,lung tissure HYP level were better,arterial oxygen content were higer.Among treatment groups,the treatment effects in group F were the best,SOD and MDA of 3 d,HYP and TGF-β1 of 28 d in group B and F were respectively(37.47±13.00,91.86±21.35)nmol/mL;(11.34±3.07,5.63±1.58)nmoL/mL;(2.54±0.63,1.32±0.07)mg/g;(484.13±63.79,202.22±49.83)pg/mL.The difference was significant(P＜0.05).The pathology of the lung tissue showed that acute lung hemorrhage,edema or chronic pulmonary fibrosis in group F were milder than that of group B.Conclusions In early stage,Xuebijing injection combined with dexamethasone has a stronger ability to clear out oxidized free radical and inhibit lipid super oxidized reaction.This may ameliorate acute pulmonary blooding and edema.In later stage,they could ameliorate chronic pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β1 secretion and HYP generation.

Objective To explore the role of Th17-and Treg-derived catecholamines during collagen-induced ar?thritis (CIA) progression. Methods Eighteen male DBA/1 mice were randomly divided into control group, CIA model groupⅠ(day 35) and CIA model groupⅡ(day 55). The CIA models were induced by typeⅡcollagen (CⅡ) injection from tails. mRNA expression of Th17 specific transcription factor include ROR-γt, cytokines, IL-17 IL-22, Treg specific transcription factor, Foxp3, cytokines, TGF-βand tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in lymph nodes were examined by real-time PCR. Co-local?ization of ROR-γt or Foxp3, with TH, vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2) or monoamine oxidase (MAO) in lymph nodes were observed by immunofluorescence staining. Results In lymph nodes of mice in CIAⅠgroup and CIAⅡgroup, mRNA expression of ROR-γt, IL-17, TH and IL-22 were upregulated, while mRNA expression of Foxp3 and TGF-βex?pression was downregulated compared to those expression in control group. The upregulated expression of IL-17 was signifi?cantly reduced in CIAⅡgroup compared with that in CIAⅠgroup. In the lymph nodes of both intact and CIA mice, co-lo?calization of ROR-γt or Foxp3 with TH, VMAT-2 or MAO was seen in some cells. The numbers of cells that are double-pos?itive of ROR-γt/TH,ROR-γt/VMAT-2 and ROR-γt/MAO IL-17 were increased in CIA groups compared to those in con?trol group. And they are significantly reduced in CIAⅡgroup compared with those in CIAⅠgroup. Conclusion The abili?ty to synthesize catecholamines in Th17 cells was increased in lymph node in mice from CIA groups compared to that in con?trol group. The increased catecholamines production from Th17 cells in lymph nodes may be involved in the anti-inflammato?ry progression in CIA.
