Objective To explore the relationship between TSLC-1 protein expression and the progression and carcinogenesis of human papillary thyroid carcinogenesis. Methods Expressions of TSLC-1 protein in 20 pieces of benign thyroid lesions and 40 pieces of papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of TSLC-1 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (9/40) was lower than that in benign thyroid lesions (22.50% versus 90.00%, P < 0.05). Expression of TSLC-1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM in papillary thyroid carcinoma (P < 0.05). Conclusions Expression of TSLC-1 is closely related with carcinogenesis , lymph node metastasis , and clinical stage in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Epidemiological data,clinical observation and animal experiments have shown that cold wave is closely associated with the onset of stroke.When a population with stroke etiology or risk factors is under pre-stroke state,they will have stroke under the influence of various inducing factors.Cold wave is the external factor that causes the body to enter the pre-stroke state and there are many possible mechanisms.The drug intervention of stroke-prone hypertensive rats at 1 week before the cold wave can reduce the occurrence of stroke during cold wave,suggesting that it is of great significance to conduct preventive intervention to the pre-stroke population before the cold wave coming.

Purpose To explore the relationship between tumor suppressor in lung cancer 1 (TSLC1) protein expression and the carci-nogenesis and progression of human gastric carcinoma. Methods Expression of TSLC1 protein in 20 normal gastric mucosa, 30 intra-epithelial neoplasias ( IN) and 50 gastric cancers was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of TSLC1 in gas-tric cancer was 14. 00% which was lower than that in IN (46. 67%) and normal gastric mucosa (95. 00%, P<0. 05). TSLC1 ex-pression in high-grade IN was lower than that in low-grade IN and normal gastric mucosa (P<0. 05). TSLC1 expression in high-grade IN and gastric cancer was of no significant difference ( P>0. 05 ) . Expression of TSLC1 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM in gastric cancer (P<0. 05). Conclusion The expression of TSLC1 is closely related to carcinogenesis, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage in gastric cancer, which suggest that TSLC1 may be a new target for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer.

The conception,sources and research focus on environmental estrogens of effluent from sewage treatment plants were briefly introduced and the advances on environmental estrogens of effluent from sewage treatment plants were reviewed in the present paper.The study and applications of biomarker-vitellogenin (Vtg) was also discussed.The future research direction of environmental estrogens was proposed.

Objective To investigate the organophosphorus pesticides residues in vegetables in Ji'nan,China.Methods From 2005 to 2007,the residues of ten kinds of organaphosphorous pesticides,including methamidophos,parathion-ethyl, parathionm-ethyl,dichlorvos,phorate,monocrotophos,omethoate,dimethoate,chlorpyrifos,malathion were determined in 8 kinds of vegetables by capillary gas chromatography.Results In the 597 vegetables samples,the total detection rate of organaphosphorous pesticides was 32.66%,in 25.63% of the samples,the contents of organaphosphorous pesticides residues exceeded the national standard limits.In leek,the detection rate was 65.56% and the exceeded limit rate was 52.22%.In addition, more than one kind of pesticide could be detected in one kind of vegetable.The concentration of methamidophos,the most serious pollutant,could reach 114.013 mg/kg.Omethoate could also be detected at 11.807 mg/kg.In this investigation,a downtrend was seen in the rate of exceeding standard limits and the difference in seasons in the detection rate of pesticides residues was also seen. Conclusion The detection rate of high toxic organaphosphorous pesticides in vegetables sampled in this study is higher,it indicates that the situation of pesticides abuse is serious in this area.

A comparable study were carried out by determination of trace elements on five marine-derived shell traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) (Ostreae Concha, Haliotidis Concha, Margaritifera Concha, Meretricis Concha, and Arcae Concha), which were recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 version). Seven trace elements in 51 batches of this type of shell TCM were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), combined with principal component analysis (PCA) methods. The content of element Se, which exhibited significant differences among different drugs, could be used as a key element to distinguish this type of drugs. Meanwhile, the contents of elements Co, Cu, Mo, and Ba in Haliotidis Concha, Co and As in Margaritifera Concha, Mo and As in Meretricis Concha, Mo, As, and Ba in Arcae Concha, and Zn in Meretricis Concha were relatively stable. In the PCA plot, Arcae Concha and Meretricis Concha could be efficiently distinguished from Ostreae Concha together with Haliotidis Concha, and Margaritifera Concha. The results also showed a correlation with their medicinal function. In conclusion, trace elements in marine-derived shell TCM could not be neglected for their quality control.

Objective To study the prevalence of food intolerance and to explore its related factors among adult health check-up receivers.Methods A total of 863 adults who took physical examinations in our hospital from April to October 2011 were enrolled in this investigation.Height,body weight and blood pressure were measured,and serum IgG level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The total positive rate of food intolerance was 73％,and the leading intolerance items were crab (40.1％ ),egg (29.8％ ),cod fish ( 21.6％ ),milk ( 20.0％ ) and soybean ( 14.4％ ).Females showed significantly higher prevalence of food intolerance than males.Various positive rate of milk or soybean intolerance was found in different age groups.No correlations of serum specific IgG with body mass index and systolic or diastolic blood pressure were observed.In logistic regression analysis,the odds ratio of food intolerance of women was 1.67 ( 95 ％ confidence interval 1.190 to 2.607 ).ConclusionsThe prevalence rate of food intolerance was high.The risk for food intolerance was significantly increased in women.Specific IgG antibody detection may help to early prevent and diagnose food intolerance-related diseases.

Objective To investigate the reasons of upgrade pathologic diagnosis after cervical operation of LEEP and the principal of treatment.Methods 101 cases of clinical data with upgrade pathological diagnosis after LEEP in our hospital during september 2005 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.Results 13 cases were diagnosed as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)Ⅰ-Ⅲ while they were considered as chronic cervicitis pre-operation.60 cases of upgrade CIN and 10 cases of in-situ cervical cancer and 10 cases of early infiltration cervical cancer and 8 cases of infiltration cervical cancer were diagnosed while they were considers as CIN Ⅰ-Ⅲ before LEEP.Among the 101 cases.34 cases were re-treated.10 cases diagnosis were the same pathological diagnosis as before,14 cases diagnosis were downgrade and 10 cases were negative.There was no upgrade pathologic diagnosis.The cutting edges were negative.And lymphatic metastasis took place in 2 cases with infiltrating cervical cancer.Conclusion The malignant ratio of patients with upgrade pathology was high.We should pay attention to the patients with upgrade pathological diagnosis after LEEP.The possible treatment should be given to them according to their age,demands of breeding,chnieal stages and types of pathologic stages.
