Objective To investigate the effect of diabetes on clinical efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of non-viral hepatitis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 367 non-hepatitis virus HCC patients treated by TACE, included 153 diabetes mellitus cases (test group) and blood glucose of 214 patients was normal (control group). To assess the treatment effect after 1 month of TACE based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors, include complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD), and calculate the disease control rate. Through 6 to 75 months follow-up to observed long-term efficacy, record the time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) time. Survival rate were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank analysis by SPSS 16.0. The single-factor analysis was used to analyze variables which variables that differed were analyzed by Cox regression. Results The disease control rate of test group was 69.9%(107/153) and control group was 74.3%(159/214), the difference was no statistically significant (P=0.125). The median time to progression (mTTP) and median overall survival (mOS) of test group were 10.0 and 15.0 months;and the mTTP and mOS of control group were 14.0 and 19.0 months, the difference were statistically significant (P=0.023 and P= 0.026). Tumor diameter ≥4.5 cm, numbers of tumor ≥3, invasion of blood vessels, α-fetoprotein≥200 μg/L, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score and diabetes were risk factors for OS of HCC patients. Conclusion Diabetes is unfavorable factors for overall survival of non-hepatitis HCC tread by TACE.

Objective:To explore the influence on inflammation cytokines for anti-IL-1βand TNF-αIgY intranasal treatment in guinea pigs with allergic rhinitis.Methods:The allergic rhinitis model in guinea pigs was established using ovalbumin(OVA).Hartley guinea pigs were randomly divided into the control group(group C,n=17),the allergic rhinitis model group(group M,n=27),the 0.1%anti-IL-1βand TNF-αIgY treatment group(group Z1,n=21)and the fluticasone propionate treatment group(group Z2,n=21). At 2 h,4 h and 8 h after the last treatment,blood was got by heart puncture,as well as nose was lavaged using 0.9% saline and the nasal lavage fluid( NLF) was collected.The level of cytokines was examined using ELISA kits.Results: In the peripheral blood, the levels of IL-1β,IL-5,IL-9,IL-13,IL-18,IL-33 and TGF-β1 from 2 h to 8 h;TNF-αand OVA-specific IgE from 2 h to 4 h;and IL-22 from 4 h to 8 h were significantly decreased in the 0.1%anti-IL-1βand TNF-αIgY treatment group compared with the allergic rhinitis model group(P<0.05).In the NLF,the levels of IL-1β,IL-5,IL-9,IL-13,IL-22,IL-33,TNF-α,TGF-β1 and OVA-specific IgE from 2 h to 8 h;and IL-18 at 2 h were significantly decreased in the 0.1% anti-IL-1βand TNF-αIgY treatment group compared with the allergic rhinitis model group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion: Anti-IL-1βand TNF-αIgY intranasal treatment can significantly reduce inflammation cytokine levels in allergic rhinitis guinea pigs.

Objective To identify gene mutations in two families with epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK).Methods Clinical data were collected from two families with EHK.Peripheral blood was isolated from the probands and unaffected family members in the families as well as from 50 healthy controls.PCR was performed to amplify the encoding exons and flanking intron regions of KRT1 and KRT10 genes followed by direct DNA sequencing.Results Two mutations in the KRT10 gene,including a heterozygous acceptor splice site mutation in intron 4 (c.1030-2 A＞G) and a heterozygous missense mutation c.467 G＞A,were identified in the probands of both families,but absent in the unaffected family members or healthy controls.ConclusionThe splice site mutation c.1030-2 A＞G and missense mutation c.467 G＞A might be responsible for the phenotype of EHK in the two families.

Background and purpose: There have been no reports on the clinical and biological significance of the co-expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and β-catenin (β-cat) in has.pharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). This study was aimed to investigate the expression of iNOS and β-cat in NPC, to analyze their interrelation, and to explore their roles in the carcinogenesis, development, invasion, and metastasis of NPC. Methods: The expression of iNOS and β-cat was examined in 50 poorly differentiated NPC and 15 normal nasopharyngeal epithelium tissue by immunohistochemical staining (SP method). None of the patients had received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The results of immunostaining were observed by two pathologists independently, using double blind scoring method. iNOS and β-cat expression were categorized by the extent and intensity of staining using a semiquantitative method. Results: No iNOS expression was observed in 15 normal nasopharyngeal epithelium, but β-cat expression was located in cytomembrane in normal samples. The positive rate of iNOS protein expression was 74.0% (37/50) in NPC tissues. The expression of iNOS was statistically different among the NPC group and normal nasopharyngeal epithelium group, T_(1-2) group and T_(3-4) group, metastatic lymph nodes group and no metastatic lymph nodes group. There was a great quantity of β-cat expression in cytoplasm, little or no β-cat expression in cytomembrane and nucleus in NPC tumorous tissues. Statistical analysis indicated that strong positive expression of β-cat in cytoplasm was significantly higher in NPC than those of normal nasopharyngeal epithelium. The positive expression of β-cat was significantly correlated with clinical stage, invasion and lymph gland metastasis. Neither iNOS nor β-cat was significantly different between different ages and genders. There was a positive relationship between iNOS and β-cat expression in NPC tissues (r=0.394, P=0.005). Conclusion: The positive expressions of iNOS and β-cat in cytoplasm were significantly correlated with clinical stage, invasion and metastasis, and were not significantly different in terms of ages and genders of the patients. There was a positive relationship between the expression of iNOS and β-cat in NPC tissues. Co-overexpression of iNOS and β-cat may play an important role in carcinogenesis, development, invasion, and metastasis of NPC.

Insulin sensitivity,β-cell function and serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)levels were observed in obese and non-obese normoglycemic first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients (FDR). The results showed that there existed insulin resistance,β-cell dysfunction and increased serum hs-CRP level in obese FDR of type 2 diabetic patients. Moreover, insulin resistance and increased CRP level were positively related to waist circumference.
