Objective To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric bridging bronchus deformity and brid-ging bronchus with pulmonary artery sling. Methods The clinical data of the 21 cases of diagnosed bronchial bridge deformity and bronchial bridge with pulmonary artery sling, the imaging findings of all the echocardiography, MSCT chest scan, enhanced CT and reconstructive image were retrospectively analyzed. Results In 21 cases, 10 were diagnosed as bronchial bridge only, among which three cases had other types of congenital heart disease;11 cases were diagnosed of pulmonary artery sling with pulmonary artery sling, among which 8 cases had other types of congenital heart disease;their average age of the 8 cases were all younger than 2 years old, except one case;most of them had the symptoms of recurrent respiratory tract infections and parox-ysmal dyspnea. According to Wells, bronchial bridge was divided into type I and typeⅡ;15 cases were type I, 6 cases were typeⅡ, 10 patients with bronchial bridge only were all type I, 5 cases of typeⅡwere associated with pulmonary artery sling. All of the 6 cases were diagnosed as typeⅡassociated with pulmonary artery sling. Conclusions Infants and young children with clini-cal recurrent respiratory tract infections should be considered the possibility of bronchus bridge deformity, and should be paid more attention to the possibility of pulmonary artery sling. MSCT plain chest scan, enhanced CT and airway reconstructive im-age are the important ways to diagnose the disease.

Objective To detect COX-2 mRNA in cervical cancer and normal cervix, and explore the pathogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. Methods COX-2 expression was detected by RT-PCR to explore the relationship between COX-2 and the adenocarcinogenon of cervical cancer in 36 cases of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and 15 cases normal cervical tissue. Results The positive rate of COX-2 mRNA in adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix tissues (55.6%) was higher than that of normal tissues ( 20. 0% ), the difference was significant ( P ＜ 0. 05). The expression of COX-2 mRNA was associated with stages and clinical grading of tumor ( P ＜ 0. 05), but no significant difference was found between stages and clinical grading of uterine cervix adenocarcinoma( P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion The hyper expression of COX-2 mRNA in uterine cervix adenocarcinoma took part in the carcinogenesis of tumor.

ObjectiveTo explore the relation of the expression of intron 9 in CD44 gene,nm23 gene and the serum levels of TGFα and TNFα to the development, metastasis and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Methods The expressions of intron 9 in CD44 gene, nm23 gene, TGFα and TNFα in epithelial ovarian cancer were measured by semi -quantitative RT - PCR, immunohistochemical technique and radioimmunoassay ( RIA ). Results There was positive expression of intron 9 in CD44 gene,nm23 gene,TGFα and TNFα in 36 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer. The higher levels of nm23 gene and TGFa were obvious in early stage of ovarian cancer. ConclusionTo study the ovarian cancers biologic behavior with these multipe factors can provide theoretical basis for early diagnosis, gene therapy and predicting prognosis.

Objective To assess the prevalence and clinicopathologic significance of the microsatellite instability(MSI),PTEN mutations and their correlations in endometrial carcinogenesis.Methods The MSI analysis was performed using five microsatellite markers in paired uterine endometrial carcinoma(UEC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia(AH).PTEN mutations were detected by single-strand conformation polymorphism(FCR-SSCP) analysis and DNA sequencing in UEC,AH and normal epithelium(NE).Rescults There was a significant difference in the incidence of PTEN mutations among AH,UEC and NE(P<0.01).PTEN mutations changed significantly in AH-the direct precursor to UEC(P<0.01).PTEN mutations correlated significantly with the clinical stage of the UEC(P<0.05).In UEC with MSI,PTEN mutations were detected in the short coding mononucleotide repeats(A) in 2(18.2%) of the 11 carcinomas.PTEN had a substantially higher frequency of mutations in UEC with MSI compared with the frequency of mutations in UEC without MSI(P<0.05).Conclusion PTEN mutations and MSI were two of the most common genetic alterations and correlated with each other in uterine endometrioid carcinoma.PTEN mutations might be secondary to deficiencies in mismatch repair and give some explanation for the frequent presence of PTEN mutations in MSI positive UEC.

This study investigated the expression and prognostic value of SHP-2 in cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Forty-five specimens from patients with cervical cancer (stage I-III), 32 specimens from patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) (I, II) and 20 normal cervical samples from patients with hysteromyoma were collected in Department of Pathology for comparison. The expression levels of SHP-2 and IFN-β proteins were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression level of SHP-2 was detected by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). HPVs were detected by HPV GenoArray Test. The Spearman correlation was used to compare the expression level of SHP-2 in HPV infected cervical cancer vs non-HPV infected normal cervix. The level of SHP-2 protein expression in the cancer tissues (88.8%) was significantly higher than in CIN tissues (62.5%) and normal cervixes (45%) (P<0.05 and P<0.05, respectively). The SHP-2 mRNA levels in the cancer tissues were upregulated as compared with those in the normal cervixes (P<0.05). Twenty-one (46.7%) cervical cancers, 25 (78.1%) CINs and 17 (85%) normal cervixes showed IFN-β positive staining in cytoplasm. There was statistically significant difference in the expression rate of IFN-β between cervical cancer and normal cervix (χ (2)=8.378, P<0.05) as well as between cervical cancer and CIN (χ (2)=7.695, P<0.05). HPV16/18 infections could be found in normal cervixs (15%), CINs (68.7%) and cervical cancers (84.4%). There was a correlation between HPV infection and SHP-2 expression in cervical cancer (r (s)=0.653, P<0.05). SHP-2 may be a useful prognostic and diagnostic indicator for HPV infected cervical cancer. In cervical cancers, SHP-2 mRNA and protein overexpression was associated with IFN-β lower-expression.

Objective The cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and the impact of senescence after RNAi were performed. This research provided a theoretical and experimental basis of the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Methods According to DEK nucleotide sequence in G enebank, 56 nt o1igonucleotide fragment containing specific target DEK sequence was designed with computer software, and the fragnent was synthesized and cloned into the eukaryotic expressed plasmid vector psiRNA-hH ineo.Then it was transfected into CaSki cells by lipofectamine. DEK mRNA and protein expression were detected to verify the gene silence effect by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. CaSki cell proliferative inhibition rates were accessed by MTT assay at the 48th hour after DEK siRNA transfection, at the same time cell cycle and cell apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry, and SA - β-galactosidase enzyme cytochemiatry was used to identify cell senescence. Results DEK mRNA and protein expression was significantly reduced in psiRNA- hHDEK transfected CaSki cells(0. 28 ±0. 02). Cell proliferation was decreased, cell cycle was inhibited, and cell apoptosis and senescent cells were increased afar DEK gene was silenced. Concluslon DEK siRNA eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed and DEK gene expression of CaSki cells was effectively silenced. DEK gene silencing could induce CaSki cells into apoptosis and senescence.DEK gene played an important role in the occurrence and evolution of cervical cancer, which was not only a senescence suppressor gene but also an apeptosis suppressor gene.

Objective To determine the bacterial composition and antibacterial resistance in female urinary tract infections (UTI) in China. Methods The disc diffusion test, minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), test or E-test was used to detect the antimicrobial susceptibility in 86 tertiary hospitals in China from June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007. WHONET 5.4 was applied for data analysis. Results A total of 6071 pathogenic germs were collected from urine cultures of UTI female patients in the surveillance period, which included 5958 bacterial isolates. Escheriehia coll 3529 strains (59. 23% ), Enterococcus spp 938 strains (15.74%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 394 strains (6.61%) were the most common pathogens. Escherichia coli and Klabsiella pneumoniae had 35.7% and 34. 0% extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) positive rates, and their resistant rates to quinolones were about 70% and 40%, respectively. Enterococcus faecium was much more resistant to almost all the antibiotics than Enterococcus faecabs. 0. 9% Escherichia faecalis and 3.8% Escheriehia faecium were resistant to vancomycin, whereas 2.7% and 4. 8% were resistant to teieoplanin. Staphylococcus epdermidis was more common in UT1 than Staphylococcus aureus, 79. 1% and 75.0% of the isolates being methiciUin-ressitant Staphylococcus epdermidis(MRSE) or methicillin-ressitant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), respectively. No vancomycin intermediate or resistant staphylococcus was detected, but 4. 9% teicoplanin intermediate rate was found in Staphylococcus epdermidis. The resistant rates to quinolones increased with the patient age. Condnsions Bacterial resistance in UTI in Chinese females is a severe problem, which could be resulted from antimierobial irrational use. In the selection of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of UTI, doctors should refer to the results of bacterial resistant surveillance.
