Objective In order to study the value of drug treatment for leukemia, quercetin was delivered to the cultured NB4 cell line. MethodsUsing RT- PCR and western blot, we studied the expression of mutant p53 gene and protein after inducing 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120h by the quercetin with different concentrations (30, 60, 90μmol/L). Results We verified the results that quercetin with concentration of 30 ～90μmol/L could successfully inhibit the expression of mutant p53 protein, but the mutant p53 gene did not have. ConclusionThat data suggested that quercetin would be an effective method for the therapy of leukemia.

Objective To investigated the biological procedure of allograft decalcified bone matrix(DBM)and bone cement(BC)combined with bovine bone morphogenetic protein (bBMP)used for the repair of femoral defect caused by microwave－ induced hyperthermia in dogsby 99mTc－ MDP bone scintigraphy.Method The canine femoral defect(length 25mm,width 10mm)was caused by microwave－ induced hyperthermia(50℃ ,20minutes)and the composite material was implanted .Then the canine femurs were examined by 99mTc－ MDP bone scintigraphy respectively at different postoperative time and the results were compared with that of X－ ray photography and histological observation.Bone cement was implanted in the other femur as a contrast.Results It could be observed at the first and the second month that the radioisotope was gathered in the place where the composite material was implanted and the amount of radioisotope gathered in was the most abundant at the third month and it was lasted to the fourth month. That of the sixth month was decreased to that of the second month.The radiation count of the first, the second, the third the fourth and the sixth month were 93.9± 12.7, 110.7± 16.4,222.1± 24.0,201.3± 26.9 and 111.6± 20.7 respectively,and the count of the third month and the fourth month were more than that of the first, the second and the sixth month(P<0.01).Conclusion The composite material could be remodeled easily and the new bone could be formed by the induction of bBMP. So it could be merged with the normal bone.While the 99mTc－ MDP bone scintigraphy is the object and reliable index to determine the biological procedure of the composite material in dogs.

Objective:To investigate the role of the expression of E-cadherin(E-Cad) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2(TIMP-2) in carcinogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods:The E-Cad and TIMP-2 expressions were studied immun ohistochemistrically in 30 specimens of colorectal adenoma and 60 specimens of CRC.Results:The expression rates of E-Cad were 87.10% in colorectal adenoma and 55.00% in CRC, the former was apparently higher than that of the later (P0.05);The significant relationship was observed between low TIMP-2 expression and Dukes stage, metastasis of lymph node and distant organs and poor prognosis.Conclusion:The detection of expression about E-Cad and TIMP-2 may be helpful to judge the malignant behavior and metastasis and prognosis with colorectal carcinoma,furthermore the expression of TIMP-2 may be used to know prognosis of patients.

Objective To report a case of progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) with two kinds of WISP3 gene mutation. Methods A case of PPD was reported. Its clinical profile and the process of diagnosis were analyzed, and the related literature were reviewed. Results A 15-years old boy, who developed progressive joint pain and enlargement with spine involvement, was diagnosed as PPD. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were in normal range, rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibody were all negative. HLA-B27 was also negative. Gene study discovered two kinds of mutations in Wnt1-inducible signaling pathway protein 3 (WISP3) gene: c.589+2T＞C and c.624dupA. Radiographic studies revealed severe osteoporosis without erosion, platyspondylia, enlargement of metaphysis and scoliosis deformity. The joint space of sacroiliac joint and articulation of pubis were significantly widened. Conclusion PPD is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cartilage homeostasis. It is associated with WISP3 gene mutations. Gene detection, laboratory examination and typical radiographic features are helpful for the diagnosis. This is the first report of c.589+2T＞C and c.624dupA mutations in patients with PPD in our country.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of sonographic changes of adipose tissue in benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods The sonographic characteristics of subcutaneous adipose tissue were retrospectively analyzed in 92 patients with 114 breast lesions,all lesions were confirmed by postoperative pathology.Receive operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drew with the pathological results as standard,the diagnostic value of subcutaneous adipose tissue changes in benign and malignant breast lesions was evaluated.Results The area under the ROC curve that derived from all of the lesions (61 benign and 53 malignant) was 0.862 (P =0.000).The ultrasonographic findings which showed subcutaneous adipose tissue changes at grade Ⅲ or higher suggested that the tumors were more likely malignant lesions.When adipose tissue changes at grade Ⅲ was taken as the diagnostic indicator for the presence of malignant breast lesions,the diagnostic sensitivity reached 73.6％ while specificity reached 93.4％.At ultrasound imaging scan,the adipose tissue in malignant lesions had the following manifestations:increased fibrosis,increased echogenicity,the sonographic images were turbidity or blurred,presence of ground-glass-like opacity.There were significant differences (P =0.000) between the benign and the malignant lesions in the range of adipose tissue changes.Conclusions The ultrasonographic changes were helpful to the differential diagnosis between the benign and the malignant breast lesions.

Objective To investigate the evolution of surgical treatment and it's influence on prognosis in reptured liver cystic echinococcosis.Method Clinical data of 110 surgically treated cases of reptured liver cystic echinococcosis from January 1990 to December 2008 were retrospectively analysed,and these cases were divided into three groups by different surgical approach;Group A(22 cases):removal of internal capsule,with formaldehyde or hydrogen peroxide regional anthelminthic,with residual cavity side edge of lock stitching or greater omentum filling or drainage after residual cavity closure;Group B (65 cases):Removal of intemal capsule,with hypertonic saline regional anthelminthic,with external capsule extrahepatic partial resection,with residual cavity bile leakage sutured,and with residual cavity open drainage,Group C(23 cases):the total or subtotal external capsule stripping operation,with hypertonic saline regional anthelminthic and drainage.Result The rate of overall postoperative complications of residual cavity was 40.9%、16.9%、0.0%(P<0.05)respectively and the recurrence rate was 18.2%、4.6%、0.0%(P<0.05)respectively;drainage time needed was the longest in group A,and shortest in group C,whereas the operation time was the longest in group C and it costed higher blood loss.Intraabdominal implantation of the hydatid significantly decreased with hypertonic saline treatment.Conclusion Total or near total removal of the external capsule of the hydatic cyst and hypertonic saline treatment with postoperative external drainage is the therapy of choice for reptured liver cystic echinococcosis.

Objective To examine mycological profile of eryptococcal meningitis in patients with non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) during treatment and follow-up so that to support clinical therapy. Methods Data of 28 cuhure-confirmed cryptoeoccal meningitis patients with non-AIDS were retrospectively analyzed. Fungat smear, count, culture and latex agglutination test of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were done during treatment and follow-up. Initial treatment included intravenous amphotericin B plus oral flucytosine or f;uconazole for at least 6 weeks, and consolidation treatment included oral fluconazole and (or) itraeonazole for at least 2 months. All 28 patients were cured. The data were analyzed by rank-sum test. Results The positive rate of CSF fungal smear was 92.9% before treatment and gradually decreased, and the fungal count was significantly reduced over time after treatment. While fungal smears of some patients were still positive after initial treatment. Fungal growth time in culture was gradually extended, and fungal culture turned to be negative in all patients after 2 weeks of treatment. The positive rate of latex agglutination test of CSF was 100%. Cryptococcal antigen titer decreased steadily after treatment, which was not correlated with the decrease of fungal count. Conclusion Mycological tests of patients with eryptococcal meningitis should be interpreted comprehensively during treatment, and result of each test should be specifically analyzed.

PurposeThe bone flare phenomena has been well described on bone scintigraphy for efficacy monitoring up to now, but our knowledge has been rarely described on MSCT, the phenomena may be erroneously classiifed as disease progression. This article intends to evaluate the existence and CT features of bone flare phenomena of metastatic bone disease in lung cancer patients treated with ibandronate, to raise awareness of this phenomenon.Materials and Methods The clinical and image data of 45 patients with bone metastases of lung cancer were retrospectively analyzed prior to treatment and 3, 6 months after treatment, the change of CT value and CT features 3 months after treatment between bone flare phenomena group, progressive disease group 1 and progressive disease group 2 were compared.Results The incidence of bone flare phenomena was 6.7% (3/45). 3 months after treatment, CT value of the bone flare phenomena group and progressive disease group 1 changed when compared with before treatment, the differences were statistically signiifcant (t=-5.787 and-2.788,P<0.05) and there was no statistically signiifcant difference (t=1.691,P>0.05) of CT value in the progressive disease group 2 after 3 months' treatment. After 3 months' treatment, the bone flare phenomena group mostly appeared as osteogenic sclerosis of osteolytic lesions, while the cases of progressive disease group mostly appeared as new periosteal reaction of the lesion, or osteogenic/mixed lesion combined with osteolytic damages, the difference between the two groups was statistically signiifcant (χ2=10.139, 8.041 and 4.154,P<0.01,P<0.05). There was no statistically signiifcant difference in increase of density in osteosclerotic lesions (χ2=0.059, P>0.05).Conclusion In patients treated with ibandronate, when there is therapeutic effect evaluation standard of bone metastases (disease progression) and clinical comprehensive curative effect evaluation standard (effective) discordance at 3 months after treatment, it can be interpreted as bone flare phenomena, and the change of CT features contributes to the differential diagnosis of bone flare phenomena with progressive disease.
