Objective To investigate the value of intervening part (IP)ratio under magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI )in the diagnosis of early gastric neoplastic lesions. Methods From September 2012 to May 2015 ,a total of 124 patients with suspected superficial gastric neoplastic lesions under white light endoscope (WLI)were enrolled,87 male with mean age of (63.2 ± 7.9)years old and 37 female with mean age of (62.6±8.2)years old.All the enrolled patients received precision endoscopy examination,which were observed under WLI at first followed by ME-NBI.Vessel, surface classification and IP features of the lesions under WLI and ME-NBI were recorded,and targeted biopsies were performed.Patients received endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)or surgery according to lesions features,histopathological results.Agreement rate between WLI,VS classification with IP ratio and the histopathological results were analyzed.Chi-square test was performed for rate comparision Receiver operator characteristic (ROC)curve was drawn to compare the diagnostic accuracy in early gastriccancer (EGC)between WLI and ME-NBI.Results Among the 124 patients,a total of 118 patients completed precision endoscopy examination.A total of 162 lesions were detected,and 161 of which were analyzed.A total of 84 low grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN),63 high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), seven mucosal cancer and seven submucosal cacinoma were detected. The incidences of demarcation line (32.1 %(27/84)vs 96.1 %(74/77)),irregular microsurface pattern (45 .2%(38/84)vs 87.0%(67/77)),irregular-microvascular pattern (16.7%(14/84)vs 62.3%(48/77 )),increased gland tube density (48.8%(41/84)vs 85 .7%(66/77 ))and increased microvessel density (21 .4%(18/84)vs 80.5 %(62/77))of non-cacinoma lesions (LGIN)were significantly lower than those of cacinoma lesions (including HGIN, mucosa cancer and submucosa cacinoma ), and the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =67.6,29.1 ,33.5 ,22.9,53.7,all P <0.05).The sensitivities of WLI and ME-NBI in EGC diagnosis were 89.6% and 94.8%,respectively;the specificities were 61 .9% and 83.3%, respectively,area under curve (AUC)were 0.84 and 0.93,respectively.The diagnostic accuracy of ME-NBI in early gastric cancer was higher than that of WLI,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =49.0, P <0.01).The sensitivities of vessel plus surface (VS)classification and VS classification with IP ratio were 90.9% and 94.8%,respectively;and the specificities were 81 .0% and 83.3%,respectively;AUC were 0.89 and 0.93,respectively.The diagnostic sensitivity of vessel classification with IP ratio was higher than that of simple vessel classification,and the differnce was statistically significant (χ2 =41 .0, P <0.01).Conclusion Compared with WLI,the diagnostic accuracy of ME-NBI is higher in gastric superficial neoplasia lesions,and IP ratio is helpful in diagnosis of gastric superficial neoplasia lesions.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of transcutaneous electrical stimulation at Zusanli acupoint for elimination of gastrointestinal poison in patients with oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Methods A prospective study was conducted, including 62 patients with oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning from September 2013 to February 2015 in the Department of Emergency of Xingtai People's Hospital of Hebei Province. The patients were divided into a observation group and a control group (each, 31 cases) in accord with the principle of simple random sampling. All the patients in two groups were given comprehensive treatment according to the diagnosis and treatment of the guide for organic phosphorus pesticide poisoning. In addition, the transcutaneous electrical stimulation at bilateral Zusanli acupoints was carried out in the observation group, once therapeutic time 30 minutes and every 8 hours once, and stopped until the discharge of melena. The incidence of vomiting after application of cathartics, the first stool time, the time of melena discharge, daily defecation frequency, the time of reaching atropinization, the total amount of atropine used, the time of cholinesterase (ChE) activity returning to its 1/2 normal activity, the length of stay in hospital, cure rate and mortality were observed in both groups. The changes in hemodynamics and pulse blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) were observed before and after transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, and the occurrence of adverse reactions in the therapeutic course were observed in the observation group.Results After application of cathartics, the incidence of vomiting in control group was significantly higher than that in the observation group [32.2% (10/31) vs. 9.7% (3/31),P < 0.05]. In the observation group, the first stool time (hours: 9.3±3.6 vs. 11.6±5.2) and the time of melena discharge (hours: 11.3±5.3 vs. 14.5±6.8) were significantly shorter than those in the control group (both P < 0.05); while the frequency of bowel movements during catharsis was higher than that of the control group (times/d: 4.3±0.5 vs. 3.1±0.4,P < 0.01). In the observation group, the time reaching atropinization (hours: 66.3±22.8 vs. 84.6±24.2), the total amount of atropine used (mg: 66.3±22.8 vs. 84.6±24.2), and the time of ChE activity returning to its 1/2 normal range (days: 6.1±2.4 vs. 8.3±3.9) were significantly shorter than those in the control group (allP < 0.01). At the end of treatment, the average length of stay in hospital was shorter (days: 11.3±2.8 vs. 13.4±4.2,P < 0.05) and the cure rate was higher [96.8% (30/31) vs. 83.9% (26/31),P < 0.05] in the observation group than those in the control group; in observation group, the hemodynamics and SpO2 before and after acupoint electrical stimulation did not change significantly; in the course of treatment, no adverse reactions occurred.Conclusion The addition of transcutaneous electric stimulation at bilateral Zusanli acupoints in patients with oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning has following advantages: lowering the incidence of vomiting during catharsis, enhancing the cathartic effect, promoting gastrointestinal poisoning discharge as soon as possible, reducing total atropine used during hospitalization, shortening the time reaching atropinization, shortening the duration of hospitalization, promoting the recovery of cholinesterase activity and elevating clinical therapeutic effects.

Objective To investigate the immunophenotype and molecular genetics of mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas in Chinese pediatric patients and provide the criteris for the diagnosis of them.Methods We collected 97 paraffin-embeded tissue samples of pediatric cases of mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas including 81 Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cases, 8 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cases and 8unclassifiable B cell lymphoma with featares intermediate between BL and DLBCL (BL/DLBCL) cases. The immunophenotype and genetic features of them were detected by immunohistochemistry and interphase FISH.Results The expression of bcl-2 [3 %(2/66) in BL, 50 % (4/8) in DLBCL, 50 % (4/8) in BL/DLBCL], MUM1 [17 % (12/71) in BL, 63 % (5/8) in DLBCL, 63 % (5/8) in BL/DLBCL] and mean Ki-67 proliferation index [(93±4.4)% in BL, (83±14.3)% in DLBCL, (80±11.5)% in BL/DLBCL] were significantly different between BL and DLBCL and between BL and BL/DLBCL. The frequency of c-myc rearrangement [98 % (79/81) in BL,38 % (3/8) in DLBCL, 50 % (4/8) in BL/DLBCL] and an extra copy of bcl-6 [0 % in BL, 38 % (3/8) in DLBCL, 25 % (2/8) in BL/DLBCL] were also significantly different between BL and DLBCL and between BL and BL/DLBCL. Conclusion Diagnosis of the mature aggressive B cell lymphomas in pediatrics should be based on the comprehensive review and integration of morphologic, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic features. BL/DLBCL is more likely a subgroup of the DLBCL in pediatric population. The expression of CD10 and bcl-6 but not bcl-2, a high Ki-67 PI (＞90 %) and a c-myc rearrangement but not bcl-2 or bcl-6rearrangement are the features of BL. Regardless of the expression of CD10 and bcl-6, positive staining for bcl2, Ki-67 PI below 90 % and an extra copy of the bcl-6 favor a diagnosis of DLBCL or BL/DLBCL.

Objective To develop a model that could copy the pathological development of psoriasis, the triple-transgenic mice that harboring Plasminogen activator, urokinase ( PLAU) ,PLAU receptor ( PLAUR) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 ( STAT3 ) were generated.They are the important genes involved in the pathological development of psoriasis.Methods The transgenic plasmid was constructed by insertion of the PLAU, PLAUR and STAT3 into the downstream bovine keratin 5 promoter respectively.The transgenic mouse was produced by microinjection and the genotyping was detected by PCR.The expression level of the transgenic gene was determined by Western blotting.The pathological changes were observed by HE staining.Results One mouse line was selected with over expression of the PLAU, PLAUR and STAT3 in the tissue of skin.The transgenic mice showed decreased dermal layer, a hyperkeratinized cuticular layer and increased stratum spinosum.The number of hair follicle was reduced and developed abnormally in the transgenic mice.The Munro abscess in the dermal layer and the increased inflammatory cell infiltrates in dermal layer were also observed in the transgenic mice.Conclusions A transgenic mouse line was produced and passage stably, which expressed the PLAU, PLAUR and STAT3 in the tissue of skin and developed the psoriasis progressively.All of our results suggested that the transgenic mice were a useful animal model for psoriasis.

Objective To isolate and culture the rat limbal stem cells ( LSCs) in vitro,and investigate briefly their capacity for transdif-ferentiation into neural stem cells ( NSCs) with cytokine EGF,bFGF and RA.Methods LSCs derived from rats were cultured and identified by immunohistochemistry in vitro.LSCs were induced to differentiate into NSCs in the presence of EGF (20 ng/mL) ,bFGF (10 ng/mL) and with or without of RA(group 1 or group 2)(25 ng/mL) for seven days.Cultures without factors were used as control group.Then the neural marker Nestin of the coultured cells were measured by immunohistology staining.Furthermore,the positive cell rate was counted under micro-scope between the 2 groups and analyzed by statistical software.Results It showed that P63 was positive in LSCs.Nestin in both of the dif-ferentiation groups was positive at the rate of (77.01 ±6.32)%and (84.01 ±5.43)%respectively,of which the second group was higher than the first one (P<0.05).However,it was negative in the control group.A band of Nestin protein from cells was detected by western blot assay.Conclusion LSCs are successfully isolated and cultured in vitro.LSCs could be induced to differentiate into NSCs in the presence of EGF and bFGF.Moreover,the differentiation capability is enhanced in the condition of RA.
