BacKground:RectaI carcinoid is a rareIy seen neuroendocrine tumor. TiII now,there is controversiaI for the treatment modaIities of rectaI carcinoids with diameter between 1-2 cm. Aims:To study the expression of Ki-67 in rectaI carcinoids and the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection. Methods:A totaI of 83 rectaI carcinoid patients with tumor diameter Iess than 1. 5 cm were enroIIed. AII patients were pathoIogicaIIy diagnosed and underwent endoscopic mucosaI resection from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2013 at Chongqing Three Gorges CentraI HospitaI and Wuhan Tongji HospitaI. The medicaI records were retrospectiveIy reviewed and expression of Ki-67 in tumor tissue was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results:AII patients underwent preoperative endoscopic uItrasonography. Tumors were Iimited to mucosa or submucosa, and no muscuIaris propria invoIvement or metastasis was seen. The mean foIIow-up duration was 38 months,and no recurrence or metastasis occurred. Ki-67 was IowIy expressed in aII rectaI carcinoids(0. 84% ± 0. 67%). When tumors were grouped by size,no significant differences in gender,age,tumor site and Ki-67 expression IeveI were seen between <1. 0 cm group and 1. 0-1. 5 cm group(P >0. 05). Furthermore,when tumors were grouped by a cutoff vaIue of mean Ki-67 index 0. 84%,differences in cIinicopathoIogicaI parameters between the two groups were not significant either( P >0. 05 ). Conclusions:Ki-67 is IowIy expressed in rectaI carcinoids Iess than 1. 5 cm in diameter enroIIed in this study,which denoted an inactive proIiferation. For rectaI carcinoids with diameter Iess than 1. 5 cm,with Iow Ki-67 expression and without muscuIaris propria invoIvement and metastasis, IocaI endoscopic excision is an effective and safe treatment modaIity.

Aim To discuss whether specific mitochon-drial ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener diazoxide ( DZ ) postconditioning activates RISK signaling path-way to protect isolated rat hearts against ischemica reperfusion injury ( IRI ) . Methods Langendorff de-vice was used to establish rat in vitro model of myocar-dial ischemia reperfusion. SD rats were randomly di-vided into normal group ( NOR ) , control group ( CON ) , diazoxide after treatment group ( DZ ) , and LY294002 antagonistic nitrogen Triazine group ( DZ +LY) , with 8 cases in each. The following was com-pared:①whether heart function of each group changed at the end of equilibration and reperfusion; ② at the end of myocardial perfusion and separation, protein was extracted, and protein kinase B ( PKB / Akt ) , P70S6 kinase (P70S6K), endothelial nitric oxide syn-thase ( eNOS) phosphorylation level of expression were analysed by Western blot. Results ① Indicators of changes in heart function: for DZ group at the end of reperfusion , HR , CF , LVDP , LVEDP , +d p/d tmax and -dp/dtmax were significantly better than those in CON group and DZ + LY group ( P <0.01 ) , but worse than those in NOR group ( P <0.01 ); there was no statistical difference in cardioac function at the end of equilibration. ② For DZ group at the end of reperfu-sion Akt, P70S6K, eNOS phosphorylation level of ex-pression were significantly higher than those in NOR group, CON group, and DZ + LY group (P<0.01). There was no difference in expression level of ERK1/2 phosphorylation ( P >0.05 ) . Conclusion Diazoxide postconditioning through the activation of RISK signa-ling pathway can protect isolated rat hearts against is-chemia reperfusion injury.

BackgroundIdiopathic epiretinal membranes(ERMs) is a common eye disease condition that leads to progressive decline of visual acuity. Studying the risk factors relating to this disease will shed light on its pathogenesis and allow opthalmologists to screen the affected individuals among the high-risk population and prepare for prevention and management strategies. ObjectiveThis survey was to investigate the risk factors of idiopathic ERMs in the population undergoing routine health check-ups. MethodsThe clinical data of idiopathic ERMs was obtained from the population of routine health check-ups in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from November 2009 to October 2010. The examination outcomes were compared between the individuals with and without idiopathic ERMs. The demographic and clinical factors associated with idiopathic ERMs were analyzed and assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Result A total of 27 400 people were included in the survey and idiopathic ERMs were diagnosed in 76 cases. No obvious eye complaint was obtained from the idiopathic ERMs. The number of people affected with idiopathic ERMs was 12 ( 12/11 659 ) in the below 40 years group, 21 (21/4595) in the 51-60 years group and 32 (32/2544) in the over 60 years group. Hypertension, diabetes, diedyslipidemia, renal function insufficiency ,and cataract were found in 42% ,5% ,66% ,6% and 8% of the patients, respectively. The univariate logistic regression analyses revealed that significant correlations were found between age,hypertension,hyperlipidemia and history of cataract( P<0. 01 ). Multivariate regression models showed that the risk of idiopathic ERMs increased in age of 51-60( OR=2. 5,95% CI:1. 2-5.4,P=0.02) and over 60 years( OR =7.3,95% CI:3.4-15.6 ,P<0.01 ) and patients suffering from hyperlipidemia ( OR--2. 1,95% CI:1. 3-3.5, P<0. 01 ). ConclusionsOver the age of 50 years and hyperlipidemia are primary risk factors of idiopathic ERM.

OBJECTIVETo explore biomechanical properties and stress-strain of mucosa scars after cleft palate surgery.
METHODSAfter the model of mucosa scars was made, the mucosa scars and normal mucosa were excised and examined immediately by tensionometry.
RESULTSThe mucosa scars after cleft palate surgery were compared with normal mucosa. The Poisson's ratio of mucosa scars and normal mucosa was 0.5 and 0.49, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups. The ultimate Young's modulus of mucosa scars was about 24.22 MPa, however, it declined to 3.32 Mpa in normal mucosa.
CONCLUSIONSThe mucosa scars after cleft palate surgery are biomechanically weaker than normal mucosa. It can be used for further research, such as maxillary orthognathic surgery, distraction osteogenesis, and orthodontic treatment.
