Objective:To investigate the expression of collagen typeⅠ(ColⅠ),collagen typeⅣ(ColⅣ)and fibronectin(Fn)in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas(LSCC)and their pathobiological relationship with invasion and metastasis of tumor.Method:The expression of ColⅠ,Col Ⅳ and Fn was detected by immunohistochemistry method in normal tissue of latero-carcinoma and tissue of carcinoma in 60 specimens of LSCC.Integral optical density(iOD)was detected by image analysis of computer and was analyzed by SPSS13.O.Result:The expression of ColⅠ was obvious and integrity.The expression of Col Ⅳ and Fn of basal membrane was like intact line-shape appearance and Fn of interstitial substance appeared like a complete network in the normal tissue f latero-carcinoma.Their expression decreased gradually and their integrity was broken and disappeared gradually from well to poorly differentiated LSCC.Their expressions also fell off with the tumor size,clinical stage and cervical lymphatic etastasis gradually and consistently in LSCC.Their variances were statistical significance separately(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:The expression of ColⅠ,ColⅣand Fn was closely related to tumor invasion,the regional lymph node metastasis and other some pathobiological features in LSCC.A detection of ColⅠ,ColⅣ and Fn as of definite significance on a better comprehension of the possibility of metastasis,choice of surgery and prognosis.

Objective To compare the treatment responses of the inhaled salmeterol and fluticasone (50/500 μg) for three months in the different clinical phenotypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) which were chronic bronchitis phenotype and emphysema phenotype and to explore the difference of the treatment responses.Methods To enroll and follow up the stable COPD patients from outpatient department who received the treatment of inhaled salmeterol and fluticasone (50/500 μg).Patients with low attenuation area (LAA,the density on CT scan <-950 HU) ≥15% of the while lung area% (LAA%) were defined as emphysema group,while patients with LAA% < 15% were defined as chronic bronchitis group.All the subjects received lung function test before and after three-month treatment.Results Totally,84 patients (49 male and 35 female patients) with stable COPD were enrolled with an average age (61.04 ±9.23) years old,30 patients in emphysema group and 54 patients in chronic bronchitis group.Before treatment,forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) % predicted value and residual volume (RV) % predicted value in emphysema group were lower than those of chronic bronchitis group (P =0.04 and P =0.01),while inspiratory capacity (IC)% predicted value was higher than that of chronic bronchitis group (P =0.02).After three-month salmeterol and fluticasone inhalation treatment,FEV1 and RV were improved in both groups,but FEV1 and RV in chronic bronchitis group were improved more significantly than those of emphysema group (P =0.02 and P =0.03).Conclusions The treatment responses of different clinical phenotypes of COPD to inhalation of combination of salmeterol and fluticasone were different,chronic bronchitis phenotype had better treatment response compared to emphysema phenotype.

Objective To assess the value of MRS in evaluating vertebral bone marrow. Methods A total of 152 female volunteers (mean age 58±14 years, ranged 30~80 years) were recruited in this study. All subjects underwent vertebral MRS examination after routine MRI examination (sagittal T_2WI, T_1WI and axial T_2WI). Single voxel (SV) was chosen for the 1H MRS acquisition at L_2~L_4 vertebral body with PRESS sequence. MRS parameters were measured by SAGE 7.0 software. Results The fat fraction (FF%) of vertebra ascend with aging;the water line width (LW) decrease with aging and there was not obvious tendency with lipid LW. Conclusion Vertebral MRS can be considered as a noninvasive examination added to routine spine MRI to demonstrate the changes of vertebral bone marrow.

Objective To observe any rehabilitative effects of individualized exercise training in the treatment of rotator cuff injury in elite table tennis players.Methods Forty table tennis players from the Chinese National Team were studied.Twenty (the experimental group) had rotator cuff injuries and 20 without the injury formed the control group.An individualized rehabilitation treatment protocol was prepared for each of the players in the experimental group and implemented twice weekly for a total of 8 weeks.There was no intervention for the control group.Before and after the treatment,both groups were assessed using a questionnaire for disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand (DASH),a motion assessment,and BIODEX isokinetic muscle testing.Results There were significant differences in average DASH scores between the two groups,with the experimental group scoring higher than the controls both before and after the treatment.Before the treatment,at angular velocities of 60°/s,180°/s and 300°/s the peak moments of the ER (external rotation,ER) and IR (internal rotation,IR) muscles and the ER/IR ratio were all lower in the experimental group than among the controls.However,after the treatment the performance of the experimental group had improved in all three tests.Conclusion The ER/IR ratio of the dominant shoulder of table tennis players with rotator cuff injury is lower than that of the players without the injury,but individualized rehabilitation treatment can effectively increase the ratio and help to improve their shoulder function.

Objective To probe the precision of the magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)in assessing the fat content in the vertebral bone marrow and the changes at different vertebrae.Methods A total of 46 female volunteers were recruited in this study. After routine MRI examination,single voxel (SV)was chosen for the 1 H-MRS acquisition at L1 -L4 vertebral body.Thirty subjects were scanned twice to evaluate the precision of MRS.The fat fraction (FF%),unsaturation index (UI)and coefficients of variation (CV) were calculated by amplitude and area under the peak respectively.The changes of fat content in marrow at L1 -L4 vertebrae was further evaluated.Results The CV related to peak amplitude was 1.7% in quantification of vertebral FF%,while the CV related to peak area was 6.3%.In quantification of vertebral UI,the CV related to amplitude and area was 2.4% and 7.8% respectively.The FF% was ascended from L1 to L4,while UI of bone marrow declined.A significant correlation was observed between FF% and UI (r=-0.714,P <0.01).The correlation of FF% among L1 -L4 were also significantly observed (r =0.612 -0.923,P <0.01). Conclusion MRS at 3.0 T provides reliable measurement for marrow fat content with a good precision associated with amplitude. Meanwhile,there is a preferential increase in saturated lipids compared to unsaturated lipids from L1 to L4.There is a high correlation of FF%among L1-L4.MRS is a valuable tool for providing complementary information on osteoporosis research.

Objective To investigate the alteration of the cytoskeleton of airway smooth muscle cells in young asthmatic rats with airway remodeling and the effect of RhoA/ROCK signal pathway.Methods Airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) were primary cultured and purified from Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats that were induced by ovalbumin (OVA) inhalation for 8w,then incubated by Pho kinase inhibitor Y27632.Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),Western blot,and immunohistochemistry were used to measure the alteration of F-actin,and α-tubulin in the cytoskeleton of airway smooth muscle.Results (1) The asthma group showed a high average gray value of F-actin in ASMC than control groups,especially 8 weeks;and were significantly down in the group after adding Y27632(P <0.01).(2) The intension and intensity of fluorescence signal of α-tubulin in asthma groups in 8 weeks were higher than control greup(P <0.01),and were significantly decreased in Y27632 group.(3) A higher expression of α-tubulin protein was shown in the asthma group in 8 weeks relative to control group(P <0.01),and was significantly down-regulated in Y27632 group(P <0.05).Conclusions Alteration of the cytoskeleton of airway smooth muscle exists in young asthmatic rats and the RhoA/ROCK signal pathway possibly plays a significant role.
