Objective To study the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and osteopontin (OPN) in cervical carcinoma and their relationship with invasion and metastasis. Methods The expression of MMP-3 and OPN were detected in 54 cases of cervical cancer tissues by immunohistochemical SP method. Compared with 15 cases of normal cervical tissues, the relationship was analyzed between both protein expressions and clinical pathology. Results The expression positive rates of MMP-3 and OPN in cervical cancer tissues (70.37 % and 66.7 %, respectively) were significantly higher than those of normal cervical tissues (20 % and 0, respectively), were significantly higher with infiltration depth >1/2 and lymph node metastasis than those with depth≤1/2 and without metastasis , respectively(P <0.05). The expressions of MMP-3 and OPN were related with depth of cervical infiltration and lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer.Expressions between MMP-3 and OPN were significantly positively correlation(r =0.401, P<0.05). Conclusion The expressions of MMP-3 and OPN are correlated with invasion and metastasis of cervical carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the expression of Survivin gene and the relationship between Survivin and genesis and development of cervical cancer. Methods The expression of Survivin gene in tissues of 40 patients with cervical cancer, 38 patients with cervical hyperplasia and 10 cases of normal cervical were detected by immunohistochemical SP method, and the relationships between Survivin and the clinical pathological factors were analyzed. Results The expression positive rate of Survivin in cervical cancer tissues (60 %) was significantly higher than that in cervical hyperplasia and normal cervical tissues (42.1 % and 0, respectively), and their differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate of Survivin was related with histological grade and the clinical stages of cervical cancer.Conclusion Survivin is related to the genesis and development of cervical cancer.

The patient complained of a 20 days history of isolated mass in the right cervical region. The lesion was successfully eradicated by surgical removal. Histopathology established branchial cleft cyst carcinoma (BCCC) as the diagnosis. More attentions should be paid to the diagnosis of BCCC. Primary leisions were essential for the suspected cases. Importantly, only after excluding the metastatic squamous carcinoma in lymph nodes and other primary diseases, the diagnosis of BCCC would be established. Therapeutic strategies include complete local excision, radical neck dissection, and post-operative radiotherapy.

A monoclonal antibody (McAb) 3H11 against gastric cancer with high positive rate, high selectivity and high affinity was obtained. 131 I Labeled McAb 3H11 was injected into gastric cancer-bearing nude mice, and the tumor/liver ratio, localization index, ID%/g could reach 8.26?1.26, 6.08 + 1.51, 11.00?2.62, respectively. Moreover, McAb 3H11 conjugated with 131 I could increase the cytotoxicity to tumor xenografts and decrease the side effects. The radioimmunoimage was carried out in 19 cases with gastric cancer, and positive image was obtained in 16 cases (84.2%). The radioimmunoguided surgery of gastric cancer was successfully done by submucous injection of labeled McAb 3H11 through endoscope. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for evaluation of tumor infiltrated gastric walls were 94.6%, 96.7% and 95.9%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for identification of metastatic lymph nodes were 99.2% ,97.7% and 98.8%, respectively.

Objective To investigate the pregnancy outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) in infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).Methods From August 2005 to June 2011,200 IVF-ET cycles performed in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome in Shengjing Hospital and Shenyang 204 Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study,matched with 400 IVF-ET cycles in infertile women with fallopian tube factors as control group.The incidence of abortion,gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM),hypertensive disorders in pregnancy,preterm birth,small for gestational age infant(SGA),large for gestational age infant (LGA),neonatal asphyxia,neonatal death and deformity was compared between two groups.Results The incidence of spontaneous abortion was 26.0％ (52/200) in PCOS group,which was significantly higher than 10.2％ (41/400) in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of GDM,hypertensive disorders in pregnancy,preterm birth,cesarean section in PCOS group was 23.6％ (35/148),16.2％ (24/148),17.6％ (26/148),83.1％ (123/148),which were significantly higher than 4.2％ (15/359),6.1％ (22/359),7.8％ (28/359),73.8％ (265/359) in control group (P ＜0.05).The incidence of SGA,LGA,neonatal asphyxia,neonatal death and deformity did not show remarkable difference between two groups,which were 2.7％ (4/148),4.7％ (7/148),5.4％ (8/148),0 in PCOS group and 1.4％ (5/359),2.2％ (8/359),2.8％ (10/359),0 in control group (P ＞0.05).Conclusion IVF-ET is an effective treatment for infertile women with PCOS,however,the incidence of spontaneous aborcion,GDM,hypertensive disorders in pregnancy,preterm birth,cesarean section in PCOS patients was increased.

Bi-specific antibodies (BsAb) P210/MMC, P210/TNP and P40/CD3 were prepared with different approaches. Among 11 fusions, 7, 484 wells were planted, and 223 dual positive wells were obtained from 1, 111 growth wells, only five hybrid-hybridomas secreting BsAb were obtained, showing the difficulties to prepare BsAb. It was shown that bridge assay is very important for identification of the BsAb. Among 12 triomas secreting y and ? chains, only two had BsAb. Therefore, the frequency for y and ? to combine to BsAb was 16.7(2/12). BsAb(P210/TNP) with versatile adaptor could mediate cytotoxic effects on target cells of different cytotoxic agents conjugated with TNP.Moreover, BsAb(P40/CD3) could mediate cytotoxic effects of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) on target cells. With local injection, four times treatments could abolish the tumor xenografts in nude mice.

Objective:To compare 2 position implant-supported molar distalization systems in clinical application.Methods:25 pa-tients with Class II and mild to moderate crowding dentition were included,18 females and 7 males,aged 15 to 29 years old(22.58 on average ).All the patients were treated with non-extraction method by distalizing the upper molar with micro-implant anchorage.In ex-perimental group(n =12)the micro-implants were inserted on infrazygomatic crest above the maxillary first molar mesial buccal root. In control group(n =13)the micro-implants were inserted on buccal alveolar bone between maxillary second premolar and maxillary first molar.In both groups micro-implants were inserted to distalize the maxillary molars.The displacement patterns of maxillary inci-sors and molars were measured and compared.Results:Successful primary micro-implant placement was obtained in 87.5%(21 /24) of the implantation in control group and 100%(26 /26)in experimental group.The distal movement(mm)of the molars in control and experiment group was 2.29 ±0.96 and 2.91 ±0.96 respectively(P >0.05).Experimental group showed significant intrusive displace-ment of the molars.Horizontal incisor displacement in experimental group was more than that in control group.Conclusion:Micro-im-plant inserted in infrazygomatic crest may facilitate intrusion and distalization of the maxillary molar and incisor.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) of the temporal bone in children. METHOD: Seven children with LCH of the temporal bone n our hospital were retrospectively summed up from April 2009 to April 2014. The patients were followed up 1-5 years, their clinical manifestations, imaging findings, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis were studied. Correlation between clinical classifications and prognosis was also analyzed. RESULT: Among the 7 patients, 4 were boys and 3 were girls. 5 cases belonged to the single system group and 2 cases belonged to the multisystem group. The most common clinical characters were temporal tumor, otorrhea, otalgia, hearing loss and granulation of external auditory canal. CT of the temporal bones showed extensive osteolytic destructions with diffuse soft tissure density, without border sclerotization. The cases were. received different therapies. Followed up for 1-5 years, 4 cases were regressive, 1 case kept stable, while 2 cases showed progressive. The two boys then received standard treatment combined steroids with vinblastine. The prognosis in the multisystem group was significantly different from the single system group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The clinical manifestations of LCH vary a lot. The diagnosis is based on histological and immunophenotypic examination of lesion tissue. The main therapy includs surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The prognosis of the single system group is much better than the multisystem group.

Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is a relatively difficult clinical type of treatment.The major therapy measures in present include steroid and immunosuppressant.Commonly used immunosuppressant include tacrolimus,cyclosporin,cyclophosphamide,mycophenolate mofetil,ect.Tacrolimus-induced clinical remission rate is superior to other immunosuppressive agents,has been the first-line agent of SRNS.Because of the individual difference in metabolism,the drug concentration of tacrolimus should be determined periodically.In order to obtain optimal efficacy of tacrolimus and reduce renal toxicity,the treatment protocols of small doses with long courses for children with SRNS were recommended.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of piperacillin and sulbactam sodium combinations in the treatment of common infections. Methods This was a multi-centre, prospective and open study. All subjects from 57 wards caught common infection like respiratory ( RTI) or urinary diseases ( UTI). The dosages of piperacillin and sulbactam sodium combinations 2. 5 g injection were determined according to indications:for adult, 2. 5 g or 5 g per time, 2 time/day; for severe or obstinate infection, 2.5 g or 5 g per time, 3 time/day. General information, clinical response pre- and posttreatment, infected locus, drug recipe and protocol, prognosis and adverse reaction were recorded. Results Data of 579 cases were collected with 388 males and 191 females. The average age was (66. 8 ± 17. 0) years. There were 500 patients who were suffering with RTI, with 362 cases of pneumonia, 102 of acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, and 36 of other infections. There were 50 cases with UTI, with 31 of simple urinary tract infection, and 19 of complex urinary tract infection. In addition, there were 9 cases of combined RTI and UTI, and 20 of other infections including peritonitis. The average duration of antimicrobial for RTI and UTI was (8. 65 ± 3. 78 ) days and (7. 45 ± 3. 46) days respectively with the total efficacy rate was 92. 6% and 98. 0% respectively for RTI and UTI. The incidence of adverse events was only 0.86% (5 cases), including nausea, rash, itching, ALT elevation and suspected drug induced fever in each one. Conclusion Piperacillin and sulbactam sodium compound had high clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of common infections including RTI and UTI.
