Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of potassium permanganate solution in treating the infected prepuce wound. Method From July 2000 to July 2007,97 patients with infected prepuce wound from Beijing Chaoyang hospital and other hospitals, aged 3 ~ 69 years, averaging 22.6 years, were all washed with 0. 1% potassium permanganate solution for 5~10 minutes 1~3 times a day. The 8 cases with abscess were sutured when exudate disappeared and fresh granulation tissue appeared. Results For the 89 infected patients, the wound surface became clear, dry and less exudate appeared after 3~5 days and then formed scabs. They all healed in 1 to 2 weeks. The 8 cases with abscess were all healed within 1 to 2 weeks after saturation. Conclusion Potassium permanganate solution is a convenient, economic and effective method in treating the infected prepuce wound.

Objective To study the whole genome DNA methylation changes induced by low dose radiation (LDR) in mouse,and mRNA expression profiles of DNMT1 and MBD2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and tissues.Methods Thirty male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:control,single exposure (0.5 Gy),and fractionated exposure of 6 MV X-rays for 10 d (0.05 Gy/d × 10 d).Control mice were sham-treated.To determine the immediate (early) effect of irradiation,15 mice (5/group) were sacrificed 2 h after the last irradiation.The other 15 mice were sacrificed 1 month after the last irradiation (delayed effect).Before sacrifice,blood was sampled immediately.Kidney,liver,spleen,brain and lung tissues were collected.A global DNA methylation quantification Kit and highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to investigate the methylation level in blood DNA.The expressions of DNMT1 and MBD2 were determined by RT-PCR.Results For the early effects of irradiation,as compared with controls,fractionated exposure to X-ray irradiation led to the significant depression of global DNA methylation level in blood (t =10.19 and 8.93,P < 0.05).DNMT1 and MBD2 mRNA were down-regulated in PBMC,kidney and liver (t =5.06,3.01,3.97,12.25,3.50 and 3.73,P <0.05),and MBD2 was also down-regulated in spleen (t =3.03,P < 0.05).However,no changes were observed in single exposed group.As for the delayed effects,the methylation levels of blood were not changed in the single or fractionated exposed groups,and only MBD2 mRNA was down-regulated in PBMC and brain of fractionated exposed group (t =3.52 and 2.85,P < 0.05).Conclusions Fractionated LDR exposure can induce genome DNA hypomethylation,which is tissue-specific,and may be related with down-regulation of DNMT1 and MBD2.

BACKGROUND: The renal transplanted recipients were in poor immunosuppressive state. Compared to common person, the bladder transitional carcinoma in recipients was aggressive and easy to recurrence. Looking for a more effective therapy method to decrease the recurrence of recipients' bladder transitional carcinoma is the hot and difficult problem in clinical study.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the efficacy and safety of submucosal injection epirubicin following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) to treat the recurrence of bladder transitional cell carcinoma in renal transplantation recipients.METHODS: Totally 9 renal transplantation recipients with transitional cell carcinoma of bladder were retrospectively studied. The patients' periods without cancer, the frequency of recurrence within one year, the rates of side effect, the changes of tumor grading following recurrence and allograff function were recorded when the routine method and submucosal injection epirubicin following TUR-Bt were used in different period respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Submucosal injection epirubicin following transurethral resection of bladder tumor was safe and effective to treat bladder transitional cell carcinoma recurrence in renal transplantation recipients. Compared to the routine perfusion, periods without cancer and the frequency of recurrence within 1 year were significantly decreased, which can elevate recipients life quality and long-term survival rates.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, pathological, and prognostic characteristics of luminal B breast cancer patients with diabetes. Methods:A total of 479 luminal B breast cancer patients with diabetes and 3 392 luminal B breast cancer patients without diabetes who were treated between January 2002 and December 2006 were enrolled in this study. The luminal B breast cancer patients were further divided into the luminal B (high ki67) and luminal B (Her-2/neu+) subgroups. Each subgroup was further grouped into metformin-treated, non-metformin-treated, and non-diabetic groups. The indicators included cancer-specific mortality, clinical, pathological stage, lymph node status, chemotherapy, and endocrine therapy. The survival analysis of each group was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the significance was determined using the logrank test. Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the correlation between each factor and the prognosis. Results:The Kaplan-Meier analysis results revealed that the breast cancer mortality rates in the metformin-treated, non-metformin-treated, and non-diabetic groups were significantly different in both luminal B (high ki67) and luminal B (Her-2/neu+) subgroups (logrank test:P<0.001, P=0.035), and the respective five-year survival rates were 93.5%, 81%, and 89%for the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup and 84%, 77%, and 83%for the luminal B (Her-2/neu+) subgroup. The Cox multifactorial regression analysis results showed that compared with the metformin-treated group, the non-metformin-treated group was associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality (P<0.001, P=0.044) in the two subgroups. Meanwhile, the non-diabetic group was associated with an increased risk of mortality (P=0.038) in the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup only. The percentage of elderly (P<0.001), menopausal (P<0.001), obese (P<0.001), and patients with cardio-cerebrovascular complications (P<0.001) tended to be higher in the metformin-treated and non-metformin-treated groups than in the diabetic group. Moreover, the metformin-and non-metformin-treated groups in the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup were associated with high percentages of T3/4 pathological stage (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (P=0.001). The non-metformin-treated group was associated with a lower percentage of invasive ductal carcinoma (P=0.001) compared with the other two groups. Conclusion:The non-metformin-treated group resulted in worse clinical outcomes in both subgroups compared with the metformin-treated group. Meanwhile, the non-diabetic group resulted in the worst prognosis among the three groups in the luminal B (high ki67) subgroup. These findings suggest that the choice of different anti-diabetic drugs may influence the prognosis of luminal B breast cancer patients with diabetes.
