1.DNA methylation in pancreatic carcinogenesis
Cancer Research and Clinic 2013;(2):133-135
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant gastrointestinal tumors,characterized by a poor prognosis,absence of specific clinical symptoms and signs,prone to metastases and lack of response to conventional therapy.1 year survival rate of this disease increased to about 20 % by gemcitabine,but the morbidity and mortality rates are still higher and higher in the whole worldwide.DNA methylation is one of the mechanisms of epigenetics which is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself.It seems that DNA methylation indeed plays an important role in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer.
2.Progress of indicators in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(2):148-151
Newborns,especially premature newborns,because of immature of immune function,have high incidence of sepsis.Today sepsis is still an important cause of neonatal death and poor prognosis.Unfortunately,clinical signs of sepsis are non-specific,so early diagnosis and treatment of the newborn infant with suspected sepsis are essential to prevent severe complications.Blood culture is the gold standard for diagnosis of sepsis,but the positive rote is low.Indicators in diagnosis of sepsis included acute phase reaction proteins,cytokines,cell surface antigen and bacterial DNA testing.This article compares and analyzes the indicators in diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
4.STUDIES OF ARTERIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE M?LATISSIMUS DORSI, GRACILIS, TENSOR FASCIAE LATAE, GASTROCNEMIUS, SOLEUS
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
The arteries of the M. latissimus dorsi, gracilis, tensor fasciae latae, gastrocncmius and soleus were studied on 100 Chinese cadavers (40 fetus and babies, 60 adults) by dissection and arteriography. The origin, number, diameter and distribution of these arteries were observed, and were investigated quantitatively by means of MAGISCAN-Ⅰ Image Analyser.Based on the studies of the vascular anatomy of muscles. We classified the arterial distribution into three patterns: Type Ⅰ: The muscle of this group was supplied by one or two main arteries which coursed the entire muscle belly, as in: M. tensor fasciae latae, gastrocnemius, soleus. Type Ⅱ: The muscle of this group had a segmental supply of several arteries, which is distributed partially in muscle belly, as in: M. gracilis, soleus. Type Ⅲ: The musele of this group had a combination of both patterns of vascular arrangement, as in: M. latissimus dorsi, soleus.The muscles of Type Ⅰ and Type Ⅱ could often be divided into several regions which were based on the distribution of each branch of the artery.

To observe the effects of Danshen on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma in the SD rats, a model of malignant obstructive jaundice was established by inoculation of transplanted tumor into the hepatic portal with the walker-256 hepatocarcine line, which resulted in the obstruction by the infiltration and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. SD rats were divided into 4 groups: the rats were treated by 0.9 % NS (n=24, control group), inosine+vitamin C (n=40, InV group), Danshen (n=40, DS group) and 5-FU (n=40, 5-FU group), respectively. The liver function, morphological changes and the expressions of PCNA, VEGF and ICAM-1 in carcinoma foci, peri-carcinoma tissues, adjacent lobe (left-internal lobe) and lung tissues were observed after the treatment with the 4 agents. Our results showed that the protective effect of Danshen on liver function was significantly better than that of NS and 5-FU (P<0.01). No significant difference in protective effect was observed between DS group and InV group (P>0.05). Danshen also provided protective effect on the morphological damage of liver caused by obstructive jaundice. The rates of carcinoma-inhibition and metastasis inhibition were significantly higher than those of NS and inosine+vitamin C (P<0.01). No significant difference in this regard existed between DS group and 5-FU group (P>0.05). The expressions of PCNA,VEGF and ICAM-1 PCNA, VEGF and ICAM-1 in carcinoma foci, peri-carcinoma tissues, adjacent lobe (left-internal lobe) and lung tissues were lower than those in control group and InV group, with the differences being significant (P<0.01). No significant differences were found between DS group and 5-FU group in the expression levels of PCNA and VEGF (P>0.05) but ICAM-1 (P<0.05). It is concluded that Danshen injection not only has protective effects on liver injury caused by obstructive jaundice, but can inhibit the proliferation and growth of hepatocarcinoma, interfere with the vascularization of tumors, prevent recurrence and metastasis of hepatocarcineoma.
6.Histopathology analysis of andometrium of abnomal ulterine bleeding in perimenopausal women
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(2):259-261
Objective To investigate the histopathologic changes of andometrium and research the cause of abnomal uterine bleeding in permenopausal women.Methods The biopsy sample of andometrium of 870 cases with abnomal uterine bleeding in permenopausal women were restrospectively analyzed.Results The most commonly hostopathologic change in andometrium of abnomal ulterine bleeding in permenopausal women is endometrial hyperplasia(76.67%).The most cases were simple hyperplasia(66.12%).3.0%of cases were endometrial carcinoma,most of them were well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma(88.46%).The morphological features of the endometrial adenocarcinomas is loss of polarity of the endometrial glands.The tumor cells have large round vesicular nuclei,prominent nucleoli and coarse chromatin.In addition,endometrial stroma was instead of by the fibrous and/or granulation tissue type stroma,usually with inflammatory response.Conclusions Abnormal ulterine bleeding occurred mainly in permenopausal period.Endometrial hyperplasia is the main cause of abnomal ulterine bleeding in permenopausal period.Most endometrial carcinomas in perimenpausal period are well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinomas.An important differential diagnosis of the endometrioid carcinoma in a curettage specimen is to differentiate it from atypical endometrial hyperplasia and atypical polypoid adenomyoma.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2008;29(6):498-500
Objective To get the information about the infection condition of blood in voluntary donors in Fuling District from 2001 to 2007, so as to take measures to improve blood quality and ensure blood safety.Methods Serum ALT was detected with Reitman-Frankel assay, and HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP were detected with ELISA.Results A total of 72 868 serum samples from blood donors were detected, in which 5 512 (7.56%) were positive. The positive rates of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP were 3.09%, 0.48%, 0.07% and 1.27% respectively, and the abnormality rate of ALT was 2.73%. There was statistical difference of positive rate among various years (from 2001 to 2007).Conclusion The positive rate of blood in voluntary donors decreases year by year. HBsAg was the highest (1.16%), followed by ALT (2.73%), anti-TP (1.27%), anti-HCV and anti-HIV. It suggests that blood quality monitoring should be strengthed to assure blood safety.
9.Research progress of proteomics techniques for the pathogenesis and early diagnosis in pancreatic cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(6):399-401
Therapeutic effect of pancreatic cancer depends on early detection and effective treatment.The early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is so difficult that the discovery of pancreatic cancer is often in mid and late stages,so the treatment of meaning is not so satisfying.In recent years the rapid study of proteomics has brought great hope in the early discovery of pancreatic cancer to make it the post-genome era of functional genomics research in hot areas.Separating and identifying the serum、juice and tissue of patients with pancreatic cancer to find out the different proteins between normal and sick individuals can provide theoretical base and new ideas for the pathogenesis and early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
10.The role of connexin 43 of heart tissues in experimental diabetic myocardial lesion
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2006;14(4):288-289
The immunohistochemical staining showed the connexin 43 (Cx43) was strongly expressed (average gray value, AGV=230±5), distributed at junction area and intercalated disks of cardiocytes in normal rats,and much less expressed (AGV 193±4) (P<0.01) and distribution-disorganized in STZ-induced diabetic rats. This may be associated with the pathogenesis of diabetic myocardial lesions.
