ObjectiveTo study the relationship between EphA2 and laryngeal carcinoma angionegesis.MethodsImmunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression of EphA2 and CD34 in 20 normal squamous epithelium tissues and 50 laryngeal carcinoma.The relationship between EphA2 expression and Microvascular density was analyzed bg Spearman correlation and linear regression.ResultsThe MVD in laryngeal carcinoma (54.89 ± 13.67) was significantly higher than that in normal squamous epithelial tissues ( 17.15 ± 5.21 ) ; The EphA2 in laryngeal carcinoma(4.56 ± 1.38) was significantly higher than that in normal squamous epithelial tissues ( 2.49 ± 1.23 ) ( t =16.721,5.847,all P < 0.05 ).There was significant positive linear correlation between EphA2 and MVD in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(P < 0.01 ).ConclusionEphA2 may correlate with angionegesis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and tumor character of meningiomas. Methods Thirty-six (GradeⅠ: n=30, GradeⅡ+Ⅲ: n=6) patients with meningioma underwent conventional MR and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) . The pulse sequence of PWI was single shot GRE-EPI-T2~*WI. The CBV maps were calculated from the original data of perfusion images and the maximum rCBV of meningiomas was acquired from CBV maps through measurement on the region of interest (ROI). The differences of rCBV in tumor and edema between benign and malignant tumors were analyzed. Results The mean rCBV in tumor of benign meningioma (9.78±4.69) was higher than that of malignant ones (3.59±0.28) (t=7.168, P<0.001). The mean rCBV in edema of benign and malignant meningiomas was 3.06±1.76 and 3.58±1.93, respectively (P>0.05). Conclusion CBV map and quantitative study of rCBV are feasible for differential diagnosis of meningiomas and have instructive function for clinical treatment and assessment of prognosis.

Objective To detect the expression of human endogeneous retrovirus family W env1 (HERVWE1) in placentas of normal pregnant women and patients with preeclampsia and explore its role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.Methods Fifty-two cases of placental tissues provided by Shandong Maternity Hospital were from iodine deficiency areas (county or city:.Zhangqu, Changqing, Pingyin) of Shandong Province, including 30 cases of preeclampsia placentas as case group, 22 cases of normal term pregnancy placentas as control group.The mRNA expression of HERVWE1, human chorionic somator mammotropin (HCS), chorionic specific transcription factor (GCMa) and amino acyl carrier 2 (ASCT-2) in placentas of the two groups were determined by real-time PCR, and the protein expression of HERVWE1 was determined by Western blotting.Results The mRNA expression levels of HERVWE1 (0.149 ± 0.045 vs.0.409 ± 0.028) and HCS (336.600 ± 50.100 vs.815.600 ± 101.300) in placentas of patients with preeclampsia were significantly lower than those in the control group (t =25.60, 20.40,all P < 0.05).There were no significant difference in GCMa (0.022 ± 0.007 vs.0.024 ± 0.009) and ASCT-2 (0.423 ± 0.050 vs.0.438 ± 0.060) between the two groups (t =0.87, 0.95, all P > 0.05);Western blotting analysis showed that expression of HERVWE1 protein (0.340 ± 0.010 vs.0.580 ± 0.010) in placentas of the case group was lower than that in normal pregnant women (t =85.50, P < 0.05).Conclusion The expression of HERVWE1 is significantly decreased in placentas of the case group and is associated with pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical application of repairing the large-area skin defect of legs with medial-lower-leg-flap with a healthy limb cross-leg bridging thoracic umbilical flap.
Methods:
16 cases with a large area of soft tissue defects caused by severe trauma were included in this study. The vascular pedicles of free thoracic umbilical flap were anastomosed with the opposite posterior tibial artery and vein, and the pedicle skin tubes were made and amputated 4 weeks after surgery.Observation of postoperative flap include survival situation, shape, color, elastic, scar contracture, and dysfunction.
Results:
16 cases of postoperative all flaps survived.In 1 case pain occurred 10 hours after the operation and led to arterial crisis, which was relieved with analgesia.There were no vascular crisis in other 15 eases. Followed up for 2-24 months, all the flaps survived with good color, elasticity and sensory recovery. There was no apparent stiffness in double knee and ankle joint.
Conclusions
For the injured limbs impossible to be repaired with local vascular pedicle, routine local transfer of skin flap or cross leg skin flap, the bridge cross anastomosis of free flap graft may be an ideal surgical treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome of the feasible method of the free string type dor salis pedis flap and anterior malleolus flap in the repairement of skin defects caused by penetrating wound of palm.Methods From May,2011 to January,2017,the anterior combined ankle flap of the ankle were used to repair skin defects of 16 cases who sutained penetrating wounds of palm.Results All 32 flaps in the 16 cases survived.Follow-up were done from 2 months to 2 years after operation.Bone healing was achieved in all cases.Two-point discrimination recovered to 6-8mm.Total active range of motion of the fingers reached 75 % of the normal side.Both appearance and texture of the flaps were good.Both the appearances of the repaired palms and the functional recovery were satisfactory.The function assessment of the hand was excellent in 8 cases,good in 5 cases,fine in 2 cases and poor in 1 case.The eligible rate was 81.25 %.Conclusion The anatomy of the dorsalis pedis flap and anterior malleolus flap is rare variant,which facilitate the dissection of the flaps during operation.The repairement of skin defects at two sides,both the palm and the back of hand,can be achieved via one operation.Therefore,the free string type dorsalis pedis flap and anterior malleolus flaps offer an ideal procedure to repair skin defects secondary to penetrating wound of palm.

Objective To evaluate the probability of siblings identification in Identifiler system by using the software of automatic analysis.Methods Using the software of automatic analysis in siblings jdentification.STP genetic typing of 151 pairs of full siblings and 31224 pairs of unrelated individuals from manual simulation were analyzed in 15 STR loci of ldentifiler system.Results Kin probability(W_(FS))of 39.07% full siblings were more than 99.999% while W_(FS) of unrelated individual pairs were 0% .W_(FS) of 60.93% full siblings and 21.3% unrelated individual pairs were all at the range from 99.999% to 1% .W_(FS) of 78.7% unrelated individual pairs 0% full siblings individuals were less than 1% .Therefore,there were notability difference between full siblings and unrelated individual pairs.In addition,testing of 15 STR loci of Identifiler system,it suggested that the pair were siblings when the locus number of the entirely-same is not less than 5 or that of the entirely-different is not more than 1,and that the pair were unrelated individuals when the locus number of the entirely-different is not less than 6 or that of the entirely-8alne is not more than 1.Conclusion The software of automatic analysis and the Identifiler system call be used to siblings identification.
