Objective To investigate the features and risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis in colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm.Methods Clinical and pathological data of 63 patients with colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm treated in Yinzhou People's Hospital between June 1997 to December 2012,were analyzed retrospectively.Comparisons of categorical data and univariate analysis of risk factors of lymph node metastasis were conducted by x2 test,multivariate analysis was conducted by Logistic regression analysis.Results Of the 63 patients the rate of regional lymph node metastasis was 30％ (19/63) with 58％ limited to para-intestinal lymph nodes in 11 cases,26％ limited to mesenteric lymph nodes in 5 cases,and 16％ limited to mesenteric root central lymph nodes in 3 cases.No metastasis exceeding central lymph nodes was observed.According to univariate analysis,tumor size,depth of invasion,ulceration in mucous membrane,invasion of lymphatic vessel and pathological grading suggested by WHO were related to regional lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.01).Multivariate regression analysis revealed that tumor size,invasion of lymphatic vessel and pathological grading were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm with larger tumor size,invasion of lymphatic vessel or higher grade (G2,G3) has high risk of regional lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the in vitro influence of IL-24 on the functions of CD8 + T cells from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:Twenty-eight NSCLC patients and 17 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to isolate CD8 + T cells. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR was used to detect the expression of IL-24 receptors (IL-20R1, IL-20R2 and IL-22R1) at mRNA level in CD8 + T cells. Changes in the expression of perforin and granzyme B were measured by flow cytometry after stimulating purified CD8 + T cells with different concentrations of recombinant human IL-24 (10 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml). In vitro direct and indirect contact co-culture systems were established for CD8 + T cells and NSCLC cell line (NCI-H1882 cells). CD8 + T cells induced target cell death and expression of IFN-γ and TNF-α in response to IL-24 stimulation were analyzed. Student′s t test or LSD- t test was used for intergroup comparison. Results:The expression of IL-22R1 at mRNA level was not detected in CD8 + T cells. No significant difference in IL-20R1 or IL-20R2 expression at mRNA level in CD8 + T cells was observed between healthy individuals and NSCLC patients, or between non-tumor sites and tumor sites ( P>0.05). Perforin and granzyme B expression was significantly reduced in CD8 + T cells from peripheral bloods and tumor sites of NSCLC patients as compared with those from healthy individuals and non-tumor sites (all P<0.05). Low concentration of IL-24 (10 ng/ml) did not affect perforin or granzyme B expression in CD8 + T cells ( P>0.05), but high concentration of IL-24 (100 ng/ml) significantly enhanced the expression of perforin and granzyme B in CD8 + T cells from NSCLC patients ( P<0.05). In the direct contact co-culture system, increased ratio of dead target cells and up-regulated IFN-γ and TNF-α expression were induced after stimulating CD8 + T cells from tumor sites in NSCLC patients with high concentration of IL-24 (100 ng/ml), but low concentration of IL-24 (10ng/ml) had no significant influence on CD8 + T cell-induced target cell death and cytokine production. In the indirect contact co-culture system, neither target cell death nor cytokine production induced by CD8 + T cells was affected by IL-24 stimulation. Conclusions:High concentration of IL-24 promoted the in vitro cytolytic function of CD8 + T cells from NSCLC patients, but might not influence the in vivo functions of CD8 + T cells.

A rapid detection method of active pharmaceutical ingredients( API) in weak API signal drugs by surface enhanced Raman scattering ( SERS) technology combined with paper substrate was established in this work. By soaking the filter paper in silver nanoparticles solution ( Ag NPs) to synthesize Ag NPs-paper as the substrate, and then the sample solution was dropping on the substrate with SERS detection. On the basis of strengthen ability of Ag NPs-paper, result of SERS detection and optimal preparation conditions, the fast identification method of weak API signal drugs was established. In this case, the SERS spectra of weak API signal drugs and their standards SERS spectra were obtained, where the correlation coefficient of weak API signal drug SERS spectra and its standard was more than 0. 9. The result showed that by this method, the low content API in weak API signal drugs could be well investigated, and the deficiencies of the normal Raman spectroscopy efficiently was also overcome. In conclusion, the synthesize method of Ag NPs-paper was simple, and the strengthen effect of this Ag NPs-paper on the intensity was obviously observed. Paper substrate-SERS method was simple, rapid and sensitive, and could be used to detect weak API signal drugs, presenting broad application prospects in the rapid detection of weak API signal drugs.

Objective To evaluate the role of early cleavage embryo in combination with embryo growth rate and morphology scoring in embryo selection in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles. Methods Six hundred and ten IVF/ICSI cycles were randomly assigned to group A(269 cycles) and group B(341 cycles). In group A, transferred embryos were chosen according to embryo growth rate and morphology scoring by 72 h(D3) after fertilization, while early cleavage embryo was added to the selecting system in group B. The pregnancy rate and implantation rate were compared between two groups, and the clinic outcomes were compared between transfers with early cleavage embryos and without early cleavage embryos in group B. Results The pregnancy rate and implantation rate in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (P < 0.05). Transfers with early cleavage embryos also achieved much higher pregnancy rate and implantation rate in group B (P < 0.01). Conclusion Compared with embryo growth rate and morphology scoring, early cleavage embryo in combination with embryo growth rate and morphology scoring can improve the clinical outcomes in IVF/ICSI cycles.

This study tested the effects of the gastrointestinal pulse train electrical stimulation with different parameters and at different locations on the neuronal activities of the lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) in obese rats in order to find the optimal stimulation parameter and location. Eight gastric electrical stimulations (GES) with different parameters were performed and the neuronal activities of gastric-distension responsive (GD-R) neurons in LHA were observed. The effects of stimulations with 8 parameters were compared to find the optimal parameter. Then the optimal parameter was used to perform electrical stimulation at duodenum and ileum, and the effects of the duodenal and ileac stimulation on the GD-R neurons in LHA were compared with the gastric stimulation of optimal parameter. The results showed that GES with the lowest energy parameter (0.3 ms, 3 mA, 20 Hz, 2 s on, 3 s off) activated the least neurons. The effects of GES with other parameters whose pulse width was 0.3 ms were not significantly different from those of the lowest energy parameter. Most gastric stimulations whose pulse width was 3 ms activated more LHA neurons than the smallest energy parameter stimulation, and the effects of those 3 ms gastric stimulations were similar. Accordingly, the lowest energy parameter was recognized as the optimal parameter. The effects of stimulations with the optimal parameter at stomach, duodenum and ileum on the LHA neuronal activities were not different. Collectively, gastrointestinal electrical stimulation (GIES) with relatively large pulse width might have stronger effects to the neuronal activities of GD-R neurons in LHA of obese rats. The effects of the GIES at different locations (stomach, duodenum and ileum) on those neurons are similar, and GES is preferential because of its easy clinical performance and safety.
