Objective To investigate serum anti-insulin-like growth factor-Ⅱ mRNA binding protein1(IMP1) autoantibody IgG expression in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patient and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters.Methods ELISA method was used to detect serum anti-IMP1 autoantibody IgG in 120 cases of HCC,then the detection results were compared those in 115 healthy individuals(control group).The relationship between serum anti-IMP1 autoantibody IgG level with clinicopathological parameters in HCC patients was analyzed.Results The serum anti-IMP1 autoantibody IgG levels in the HCC group and control group were(1.512±0.685),(1.080±0.301)μg/mL respectively,the HCC group was significantly higher than the control group with statistical difference(P<0.001);serum anti-IMP1 autoantibody IgG in HCC patients was related with the tumor size,tumor differentiation degree,TNM grade and intrahepatic metastasis(P<0.001),and had no obvious relation with the age,sex,drinking and HBV infection(P>0.05).Conclusion Serum anti-IMP1 autoantibody IgG expression increased is increased in HCC patient.The detection of serum anti-IgG autoantibody IMP1 level in HCC is conducive to judge the malignancy degree of HCC.

Objective To detect the anti EZH2 autoantibodies IgG expression in hepatocellular carcinoma patient's serum samples and investigate the relationship of anti EZH2 autoantibodies IgG expression with clinicopathological parameters.Methods ELISA method was used to detect the anti EZH2 autoantibodies in serum of 120 cases of HCC patients and compared with 115 healthy controls.Results Serum anti EZH2 antibodies in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma group the content of IgG was 2.015±0.568 μg/ml group,anti EZH2 antibodies IgG content control health was 1.185±0.289 μg/ml.There was significant difference between two groups (t=12.48,P＜0.001).Anti EZH2 antibodies of IgG in serum of pa ticnts with hepatocellular carcinoma was up-regulated and the degree of tumor size,tumor the degree of differentiation,TNM grading and intrahepatic metastasis (t=8.485 ～ 57.93,P＜0.001).And age,sex,drinking,whether HBV infection had no significant difference (t=1.22～5.20,P＞0.05).Conclusion The expression of anti EZH2 autoantibodies in serum was related to the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma,and the detection of serum anti EZH2 autoantibodies in serum of liver cancer may be helpful to judge the malignant behavior and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).which may be used as a refcrcnce for the evaluation of the prognosis of HCC patients with IgG antibody against IgG.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of homocysteine-induced microglia (BV-2 cells) expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).Methods The BV-2 cells were divided into blank control group,cysteine (Cys) group,homocysteine (Hcy) group and homocysteine and glutathione (Hcy+GSH) group,and the BV-2 cells in these groups were incubated with cysteine or homocysteine or homocysteine and glutathione together for 72 h.The mRNA expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α were assessed by RT-qPCR.The protein expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in supernatant were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Western blot was used to observe the changes of NF-κB/p65 expression.Results There were significant differences in mRNA and protein expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α and NF-κB/p65 protein expression between groups (F=48.63,130.76,702.91,293.69,212.06,respectively,all P=0.000).The secretions of IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly improved by homocysteine (P＜0.05),and were reversed by the treatment with glutathione (P＜0.05).Western blot assay result showed that NF-κB/p65 was elevated after treatment with homocysteine (P＜0.05).Conclusions Homocysteine can induce microglia expression of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α,and NF-κB signaling pathway may be involved in this process.

The ITS/ITS2 barcodes were used to simply and effectively identify Codonopsis Radix and its adulter-ants. In this study, ITS (internal transcribed spacer of unclear ribosomal DNA) regions were amplified using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) from thirty-three samples of Codonopsis Radix and ITS2 regions were obtained from the ITS sequences using the hidden Markov model (HMMer)-based annotation methods. The sequences of ITS/ITS2 regions were aligned and the genetic distances were computed by MEGA5.0. Species identification efficiency of ITS/ITS2 sequences were evaluated using BLAST1 and nearest distance methods. The results indicated that The sequences lengths of ITS regions of Codonopsis Radix were 654-655 bp, and the lengths of ITS2 regions were 239 bp. The intraspecific genetic distances among Codonopsis Radix were obviously lower than the interspecific genetic distance between Codonopsis Radix and its adulterants. Therefore, ITS/ITS2 regions can stably and accu-rately distinguish Codonopsis Radix and its adulterants.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the instructional effect of Multi-slice (MSCT) in the cochlear implantation pre- and post-operatively, and to contrast the image feature between the X-ray and the MSCT three-dimensional reconstruction of inner ear with implanted electrode. METHOD: Twenty-four cochlear implant (MEDEL Combi 40+) recipients,in No. 1 Hospital of China Medical University from January to October 2014, were involved in this study. Among them, 18 were male and 6 female,with an average age of 4 years. MSCT and three dimensional reconstruction of inner ear were performed in all of the 24 implanted inner ears pre- and post-operatively. And X-ray plain film were examined by using 60° lateral oblique position postoperatively. All data of the spiral CT scan with axial 1 mm image slices were transferred to workstation for three-dimensional reconstruction (direct volume rendering) of the inner ear. RESULT: In 1 of the 24 cases, preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction CT scan reveal that the length of the cochlear was shorter than the electrode. And this was confirmed by MSCT postoperatively that the electrode couldn't be inserted by full length. The insertion depth of the electrode can be evaluated directly by MSCT. Moreover, each of the electrode pairs can be identified clearly. CONCLUSION MSCT plays an indispensable role in the preoperative evaluation of cochlear implantation. Postoperative evaluation by three-dimensional reconstruction of inner ear provide more accurate image to show the electrode insertion depth in the cochlea. MSCT combined with curved planar reformation to measure cochlear length could provide guidance in choosing the more adaptive electrode. And MSCT is superior to DR in demonstration of electrode postoperatively.

Surgery is a classic traditional method for the treatment of early-stage esophageal cancer, and it is also recognized as an effective first-choice method in the medical community. With the development of endoscopic technology, esophagus-preserving comprehensive treatment of esophageal cancer has almost the same or even better effects in some aspects in the treatment of early esophageal cancer than surgery. Many clinical guidelines have also recommended it as the first-choice treatment for early esophageal cancer. The room for surgical treatment of esophageal cancer has been further compressed. This article discusses the comprehensive treatment model of esophageal cancer from the perspective of thoracic surgery, aiming to find a new position of thoracic surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer.
