Objective:To observe clinical and pathological features of pancreatic solid-pseudopapillary tumor ( SPPT) , and to find some useful immunohistochemical methods for its differential diagnosis.Methods: The clinical features of 14 SPPT patients were obtained. Each case underwent microscopic observation and immunohistochemical staining. The primary antibodies were CgA, Syn, E-cadherin, β-catenin and Cyclin Dl. These results were compared with 5 pancreatic well-differentiated tumors and well-differentiated carcinomas ( WET/WEC). Results: SPPT mainly involved young women, and the head of pancreas was the commonest location. Tumors were always in solid and cystic gross appearance.Although the tumor' s borderlines seemed clear, focal infiltrations could often be identified. The histological features of SPPT were similar in some aspects to those of WET/WEC, especially the solid pattern of WET/WEC. Both of them could express CgA and Syn. But all SPPTs lost E-cadherin membranous signals, and even had some nuclear signals (5/14) , while all WET/WECs remained the same staining pattern with normal pancreas cells, β-catenin positive signals in SPPTs were located both in nuclei and plas mas. WET/WECs' positive signals were all in membranes and plasmas, but negative ones in nuclei. Perinuclear dot-like signals could also be seen in the majority cells, which were similar to normal islet cells' staining pattern. SPPTs' nuclear positive rates of Cyclin Dl were usually more than 70% (12/14). WET/WECs' rates were all lower than 30%. Conclusion: Comprehensive analysis of patients'clinical, pathological features and immunohistoehemistry results, including E-cadherin, β-catenin and Cyclin Dl, was helpful to the diagnosis of SPPT and its differential diagnosis of WET/WEC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of recombinant Elafin on A549 apoptosis induced by paraquat and the underlying mechanism.Methods:pEGFP-C1-Elafin was transformed into A549 competent cells by electroporation.Transformed A549 was cultured for additional 24 h before Elafin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and cocultured with or without various concentration of paraquat( PQ ) for different duration.A549 apoptosis percentage and reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) content were tested by flow cytometry .Nuclear factor erythroid like-2(Nrf2) heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) were examed by Western blot .Results:Elafin expressed successfully in A549 after transformation.PQ caused A549 apoptosis in a concentration dependent manner and leaded to ROS content increasing and Nrf2 and HO-1 decreasing.However,elafin could inhibit ROS production and A549 apoptosis,upregulate Nrf2 and HO-1.Conclusion:Elafin could restrict A549 apoptosis to some extent and the possible mechanism lied in its ability to upregulate Nrf2 ex-pression.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the resistance rates of Gram negative bacilli and the distribution of ?-lactamases in hospital infections(HI) or community acquired infections(CAI) in Tongling.METHODS Antimicrobial(susceptibility)(test) was done on 356 strains of Gram negative bacilli isolated in Tongling from Oct 2003 to Sep 2004 by Kirby-Bauer method.The detection of ESBLs and AmpC ?-lactamases was performed by three-dimensional test,MBL by the double-disk synergy test.RESULTS Among total 356 strains of Gram negative bacilli,267 were with HI(53.9%) isolated from sputum of patients,89(34.8%) were(isolated) from CAI patients and urine.The antimicrobial susceptibility rates of Gram negative bacilli from CAI patients was significantly higher than that from HI patients,for Acinetobacter baumannii they were 1.5 to 3.0,for(Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were 1.2 to 1.6.No strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were found resistant to imipenem.Among 356 Gram negative bacilli,77 strains hyperproducing ESBLs and AmpC ?-lactamases,the detection rate was 21.6%, 69 strains were isolated from HI patients,and 8 strains were from CAI patients.From strains resistant to imipenem had 13 strains detected MBL,the detection rate was 52.0%.All of them were isolated from HI patients.CONCLUSIONS The resistance of Gram negative(bacilli) is a serious problem in Tongling.The antimicrobial(susceptibility) rates of Gram negative bacilli from CAI patients are significantly higher than those from HI patients.Gram negative bacilli produce all kinds of(?-lactamases,) such as ESBLs,AmpC(?-lactamases) and MBL.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogenic causes of community-acquired pneumonia(CAP) in adult patients in Tongling.METHODS A prospective study was performed on 260 consecutive adult patients with CAP in Tongling city during last three years.Bacteria culture of sputum and serological tests in paired serum samples were detected.RESULTS Of 260 patients with etiological evaluation,128(49.2%) patients had an identifiable etiology,63(24.2%) had positive outcome from sputum cultured,atypical pathogens were detected from 75(28.8%)patients.Pathogens identified in 128 patients were:Mycoplasma pneumoniae(35.4%),Chlamydia pneumoniae(17.7%) and Streptococcus pneumoniae(13.6%).6.5% All patients had mixed infection.The resistance rate of S.pneumoniae to penicillin and erythromycin was 5 and 50%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Atypical pathogens have important role in CAP,of which M.pneumoniae is the most common pathogen.S.pneumoniae and K.pneumoniae are the commonly encountered bacteria for CAP in Tongling.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and relevant factors of overweight and obesity in adults of the Shandong coastal area in 2009,as well as to estimate the epidemiological trends by comparing with results found in 2004.Methods A random and stratified cluster sampling of adults aged 20 years or older was conducted,and 5060 inhabitants in the cities of Qingdao,Yantai,Weihai,Rizhao,and Dongying were included.Results The standardized prevalence rates of overweight,obesity,and abdominal obesity were 33.5％,16.1％,and 40.0％respectively in 2009,with respective increase of 0.6％ (P＜0.05),2.9％ (P＜0.01),and 6.8％ (P＜0.05)compared with those in 2004; the rates for male were 37.9％,17.1％,and 44.6％ respectively in 2009,with increase of 3.7％ (P＜0.01),3.7％ (P＜0.0l),and 10.2％ (P＜0.01) respectively compared with those in 2004 ;the prevalence of abdominal obesity for female was 38.6％,with an increase of 6.6％ (P＜0.01) compared with that in 2004.The prevalence of obesity increased consistently with age,reached a peak within 50-69 years old.There was a trend of developing obesity in younger,males,while obesity became more common in postmenopausal women.In contrast with the findings in 2004,the average age,body mass index,waist circumference,triglyceride,total cholesterol,uric acid,and blood glucose levels increased significantly (P＜0.01) in 2009.Logistic regression analysis showed that aging,dyslipidemia,hypertension,hyperglycemia,hyperuricemia were positively related with obesity,and smoking was negatively related with it.Consumption of meat was related to male obesity,while carbohydrate consumption was related to female obesity.Conclusions A remarkable increase in the prevalence of obesity was found in 2009 compared with 2004,especially for the young and middle-aged men and postmenopausal women.Aging,hypertension,hyperglycemia,hyperuricemia,dyslipidaemia,and incorrect components of diet contributed to obesity.Although smoking is a negative factor for body weight,it is not suggested.

A patient with severe hypoglycemia due to insulin-like growth factor ( IGF)-IIsecreted by a giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura ( SFTP) was investigated through comprehensively reviewing his medical history and clinical records. The patient had severe hypoglycemia accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin level. A solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura was found, and right pneumonectomy removed this giant tumor. Two years after the operation, the patient was fit and well with no further hypoglycemia episodes. Non-islet-cell tumor hypoglycemia should be considered in patients who have hypoglycemia episodes accompanied with significantly decreased serum insulin level.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of double dosage Tamsulosin in treating patients with type Ⅲ prostatitis.Methods According to the results of prostate secretion(EPS) examination and the national institute health-chronic prostatitis symptom index(NIH-CPSI) questionnaire,120 patients with type Ⅲ prostatitis were recruited and randomly divided into single dosage group (n =60),treated with 0.2 mg Tamsulosin and placebo once daily for 12 weeks,and double dosage group (n =60),treated with 0.4mg Tamsulosin once daily for 12 weeks.Before treatment,the NIH-CPSI total scores in single and double dosage group were 26.91 ± 4.08 and 27.31 ± 4.98,respectively.The pain index in each group was 10.64±2.23 and 11.47 ± 3.00,respectively.The voiding index was 6.52 ± 2.24 and 6.41 ± 2.97 respectively.In those groups,the quality of life index was 9.68 ± 1.81 and 9.45 ± 1.79,respectively.All those items didn't show significant difference among those groups (P ＞ 0.05).The patients were follow-up and evaluate by those items on weeks 12.Results Because of losing during follow-up,4 patients were excluded from single dosage group.2 patients were excluded from double dosage group.After treatment in single dosage group,the NIH-CPSI total scores were 12.11 ± 3.60,pain index were 3.57 ± 1.67,voiding index were 2.88 ± 1.70,quality of life index were5.59 ± 2.06.After treatment in double dosage group,the NIH-CPSI total scores were 9.90 ± 4.15,pain index were 3.21 ± 2.21,voiding index were 2.21 ± 2.11,quality of life index were 4.50 ± 1.97.After 12 weeks treatment,the NIH-CPSI total scores,pain index,voiding index,quality of life index in both two groups were improved (P ＜ 0.05),and the double dosage group improve better(P ＜ 0.05).In the course of treatment,there were 2 cases of patients (3.8％) with adverse drug reactions in single dosage group,including dizziness in 1 case,headache in 1 cases.There were 4 cases of patients (6.9％) with adverse drug reactions in double dosage group,including dizziness in 3 cases of and rhinitis in 1 case.The rate of adverse reactions had no significant differences in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with single dosage Tamsulosin in the treatment of type Ⅲ prostatitis,double therapy had a better efficacy.Double dosage Tamsulosin therapy had an equal safety to the single dosage Tamsulosin.

Generally, after treatment, 11cases got excellent results, 34 cases improved and 8 failed in treatment group, totally effective rate was 84.9%; while in control group, 4 cases got excellent effects, 26 improved and 20 failed,totally the effective rate was 60.0%. Conclusion: Compared with control group, EA on Tianshu (ST 25) has a better curative effect on D-IBS.

Objective To explore the effects of volatile oil and 2-undecanone from Houttuynia Cordata Thunb. (H. cordata) on LPS-TLR4 / MD-2-TNF-α signaling pathway. Methods TLR4 / MD-2 blocking agent was used to mask the TLR4 /MD-2 site,then protein expression levels of TLR4 in cells treated with volatile oil and 2-undecanone were analyzed by western blot. ELISA was used to detect the secretion of the inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-10. Comparison analysis was then performed from the results of cell experiments in vitro and anti-inflammatory effects through xylene-induced ear edema test in vivo. Results In concentrations between 1 to 10 μg · mL-1 ,Houttuynia volatile oil showed better effect than 2-undecanone on inhibition of TLR4 protein in LPS-induced RAW264. 7 cells, and had some differences in the effects on inflammatory factors. Compared with the LPS+TLR4 / MD-2 group,the LPS+TLR4 / MD-2 + volatile oil group had no significant difference in the expression of TLR4 protein (P>0. 05),but the LPS+TLR4 / MD-2 +2-undecanone group reduced the expression of TLR4 protein obviously. It appeared that volatile oil exerts its anti-inflammatory effect through LPS-TLR4 / MD-2-TNF-αpathway,but 2-undecanone may exert its anti-inflammatory effect by other means. Houttuynia volatile oil showed better anti-inflammatory activity than 2-undecanone in vivo at the same dose. Conclusion There are some differences in anti-inflammatory effects and related mechanisms between volatile oil and 2-undecanone, probably owing to the synergistic effects of multi-ingredients in the volatile oil.
