Objective To explore the relationship between the protein expression of PCNA and biological behavior science in benignant pituita ry adenoma.Methods The protein expression of PCNA in 58 patien ts with pituitary adenoma were determined by ABC immunohistochemical method.Results The PCNA index was significantly higher in the patients with recurrent pituitary adenomas than in nonrecurrent ones(P<0.05).There was no significantly difference between bleeding and unbleeding group,cystic and noncystic group,large type and unlarge type group(P>0.05 respectively) .Conclusion The protein expressions of PCNA reflected the proli ferative activties of pituitary adenomas, and could be taken as one of the indic ators to evaluate recurrence and prognosis of the tumor.

Objective To construct an overexpression lentiviral vector of CD44 and obtain an androgen-dependent prostate cancer LNCaP cell line with CD44 overexpression.Methods CD44 gene sequence was obtained by PCR amplification.The synthesized oligonucleotides were cloned in the lentiviral vector LV5 after digested with NotI and NsiI enzyme.Recombinant plasmids were verified by enzyme digestion analysis and sequencing,and were transfected into 293T package cells.Supernatant was collected and concentrated to obtain lentivirus solution at a high titer.The titer of virus was identified by multiple proportion dilution methods.Then the recombinant viruses were transfected into LNCaP cells.Results Fluorescence intensity in infected LNCaP cells was increased,detected by a fluorescence microscope.And QRT PCR and Western blot results showed that the expression of CD44 was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Conclusions The overexpression lentiviral vector of CD44 is successfully constructed,and the LNCaP cell line with CD44 overexpression is obtained.

Objective To discuss the value of 256 spiral CT dynamic volume scanning in the diagnosis of moyamoya disease.Methods Twenty-three patients with moyamoya disease undergoing 256 spiral CT dynamic volume scanning (moyamoya group) were selected,and 18 patients having cerebrovascular disease symptoms,but the brain artery without stenosis (control group) were also selected.The volume reconstruction (VR),maximum intensity projection (MIP) and cerebral CT perfusion imaging was displayed.The cerebral CT perfusion imaging parameters of anterior,middle,posterior cerebral artery were measured and analyzed.Results VR,MIP could well reproduce lesion location,degree of stenosis and skull base abnormal vascular network change.Compared with control group,the cerebral blood volume (CBV) was increased [(8.46 ±0.91) ml/100 g vs.(2.92 ±0.72) ml/100 g],time to peak (TTP) was increased [(30.27 ±5.02) s vs.(24.83 ±4.07) s] in anterior cerebral artery,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference in the cerebral blood flow (CBF),the mean transit time (MTT)(P ＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,CBV was increased [(8.06 ± 1.05) ml/100 g vs.(6.08 ± 0.56) ml/100 g],MTT,TTP was increased [(6.34 ± 1.01) s vs.(3.83 ± 0.83) s,(32.06 ± 2.55) s vs.(25.83 ± 2.34) s] in middle cerebral artery,and there was significant difference (P＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference in CBF (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,there was no significant difference in the cerebral CT perfusion imaging parameters of posterior cerebral artery (P ＞0.05).Conclusion 256 spiral CT dynamic volume scanning can be combined with morphology and function imagings,and has important guiding significance for diagnosis of moyamoya disease.

Objective To study the effect of ? interferon in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma after radical nephrectomy. Methods From Jan 1988 to Jan 1998 ,46 cases of renal cell carcinoma were randomized into two groups: the interferon group treated by radical nephrectomy and ? interferon and the control group with radical nephrectomy alone. Results The T lymphocyte subsets CD 3,CD 4,CD 8,the ratio of CD 4/CD 8 were significantly different berfore and after treatment in the interferon group( P
