Objective This study is to investigate the expressions of MACC1 and c-Met genes in prostate cancer tis?sues and to explore the relationship between these gene expressions with the development, invasion and metastasis of pros?tate cancer. Methods The expressions of MACC1 and c-Met genes were examined in 30 cases of benign prostatic hyperpla?sia and 67 cases of prostate cancer using citron acid-microwave-SP immunohistochemical method and analysed with their clinical pathological features. Results Expressions of MACC1 and c-Met in prostate tissues show statistical difference ac?cording to Gleason score, PSA level, pathological stages and whether bone metastasis occurs after radical surgery ( P<0.05 or P < 0.01), but their expressions in prostate tissue show no significant difference among different sex, age and whether smoking or not. Expression of MACC1 in prostate tissue of stageⅢandⅣcancer is significantly higher than that in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues (P<0.05) while the expression of c-Met only shows statistical difference in prostate tis?sue of stage Ⅳcancer compared with that in BPH (P < 0.05). There is a positive correlation between the expression of MACC1 with expression of c-Met in prostate cancer tissues (P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that the survival rates was lower and survival time of bone-free metastasis were shorter in patients with high MACC1 and c-Met expressions in prostate tissue than those with low expressions of MACC1 and c-Met in prostate tissue. Conclusion Expression of MACC1 and c-Met is closely related to the development, invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer, so MACC 1 and c-Met may be used as promising diagnostic and prognostic markers for prostate tumor, and as new therapeutic targets for prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of continuous stellate ganglion block (SGB) on serum thyroid hormone and cortisol levels in patients with severe brain injury.Methods Eighty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with severe brain injury aged 22-61 yr undergoing emergency craniotomy were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 40 each): control group (group C) received routine treatment only and continuous SGB group (group SGB) received continuous SGB with 0.2% ropivacaine besides routine treatment. SGB was performed on the operated side after induction of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation. An epidural catheter was placed. A bolus of 0.2% ropivacaine 7 ml was followed by continuous infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine at a rate of 2 ml/h. Continuous SGB was maintained for 48 h. Successful SGB was confirmed by increase in skin temperature by ≥1.5℃ behind earlobe on the operated side.Venous blood samples were obtained at 30 min before and 3 and 7 day after operation for determination of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3) ,thyroxine (T4) , reverse triiodothyronine(rT3) and cortisol concentrations. Glasgow prognosis score was used to evaluate the clinical results at 3 months after operation. Results Serum T4 , rT3 , TSH and cortisol concentrations were significantly lower while the serum T3 concentration was higher in the SGB group than in group C at 3 and 7 d after operation. The clinical results were significant better in SGB group than in group C according to Glasgow prognosis scores at 3 months after operation. Conclusion Continuous SGB can inhibit the stress response, and improve hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid gland axis function and is helpful to patient's recovery from injury.

The solvent sublation technique was applied for the separation and enrichment of L-Arg using dodecylbenzene sulfonic (DBSA) as the surfactant, di (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (P204) as the extractant and n-heptane as the organic solution. The solvent sublation was compared with the floatation complexation extraction, foam floatation and solvent extraction. The experimental results showed that enrichment ratio of 16.2 and removal rate of 97.2% to L-Arg were obtained by the solvent sublation under the conditions of room temperature, 0.09 g/L L-Arg aqueous solution 250 mL, DBSA concentration 0.15 g/L, the initial pH 7.0, volume of n-heptane 10 mL, volume of P204 4.5 mL, gas flow rate of 200 mL/min. The study of the kinetics indicated that the solvent sublation process could be divided into three stages distinctly. The processes of the first stage and the second stage followed the first order kinetics equation; the process of the third stage followed the zero order kinetics equation. The separation mechanism of solvent sublation was also discussed.

The O152 antigens of Escherichia coli contains a Glc-β-1,3-GlcNAc linkage within the repeating unit. The wfgD gene in E. coli O152 O antigen gene cluster had been demonstrated utilizing NMR technique to encode a glucosyltransferase which is responsible for the synthesis of Glc-β-1,3-GlcNAc linkage. In this study, a synthetic substrate analog of the natural acceptor substrate undecaprenol-pyrophosphate-lipid [GlcNAc-α-PO_3-PO_3-(CH_2)_(11))-O-phenyl]) was used as an acceptor and UDP-Glc as a donor substrate, and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry(ESI-MS-MS) was used for the detailed structural characte-)rization) of the enzyme product. A systematic study was conducted on product to allow rationalization of the fragmentation) processes. The major fragments observed in the ESI-MS-MS spectra result from cleavage of glycosidic) bond and diphosphate moiety. The fragment originating from the nonreducing end of the product yields information on sequence). Cross-ring cleavages, which are very informative of the linkages of the monosaccharide residues constituting) the product, and "internal" cleavage ions which are derived from elimination of substituents from around) the pyranose ring, were also observed. This extensive fragmentation was shown that the expected Glc-β-1,3-GlcNAc linkage in the product, confirming that wfgD is in the form of UDP-Glc: GlcNAc-pyrophosphate-lipid β-1,3-glucosyltransferase.)

Objective To investigate the application effect of stone basket in ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for treatment of upper ureteral calculi. Methods The clinical data of 96 patients with upper ureteral calculi were retrospectively analyzed, all patients underwent ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. Forty-eight cases used the stone basket in the operation process (observation group), and 48 cases did not use the stone basket in the operation process (control group). The operation time, length of stay, success rate of lithotripsy, stone residual rate and incidence of postoperative complication were compared between 2 groups. Results The patients of 2 groups successfully completed surgery. There were no statistical differences in operation time, length of stay and incidence of postoperative complication between 2 groups (P>0.05). The success rate of lithotripsy in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group: 97.92% (47/48) vs. 75.00% (36/48), and the stone residual rate was significantly lower than that in control group:4.17%(2/48) vs. 18.75%(9/48), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The stone basket in ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy for treatment of upper ureteral calculi can thoroughly remove stones. It reduces the incidence of residual stones, does not affect the safety of the operation, and has good clinical value.
