Purpose To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factorIImRNA binding protein 3 ( IMP3 ) and microvessel density (MVD) in squamous carcinoma of the cervix (SCC) and analysis their relationship in SCC. Methods The expression of IMP3 and MVD was examined by immunohistochemistry SP method in normal cervical epithelium ( NCE) , low-grade cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia (CIN-L), high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-H) and SCC. Results (1)The positive expression rates of IMP3 in NCE, CIN-L, CIN-H, SCC tissues were 0(0/15), 0(0/11), 37.5%(9/24) and 86.0%(43/50), the difference was statistically significant (x 2 =53.345, P=0.000). IMP3 expression was significant difference among NCE and CIN-H, SCC (P<0.008 3), and that was also among SCC and CIN-L, CIN-H (P<0.008 3). (2)The MVD count was increased with the development of cervical squamous lesion, there was significant difference among those groups (F=145.968, P<0.01), and the difference was al-so statistically significant between every two groups (P<0.05). The positive expression of IMP3 and MVD count in 50 cases of SCC tissues showed statistical difference in different pathologic grade, lymph node metastasis, and depth of tumor invasion groups ( P<0.05), but didn't in different patients’age groups (P>0.05). And the positive expression of IMP3 was closely related with MVD count in SCC tissues (rs =0.323, P<0.05). Conclusion IMP3 plays an important role in the occurrence, infiltration and metasta-sis of SCC, and the abnormal expression of IMP3 may relate with the angiogenesis of tumors.

In this article we report the results on the synthesis and accumulation of PHAs by Rhodocista pekingensis (strain 3-p), a phototroph that was isolated from wastewater treatment plant. Our results showed that the optimal conditions for PHAs accumulation with strain 3-p were as following: 0.01% Yeast Extract, 0.01% NH 4Cl, Acetate 5 g/L, and medium pH of 7.0～7.2.Under optimized conditions, strain 3-p accumulated PHAs up to 60% of its cellular dry weight. Enzymatic activities of ?-ketothiolase, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, and PHA polymerase were detected and their activities increased as PHA synthesis initialized. Based on these study, we proposed the metabolic pathway of this strain should be:Acetate (or other fatty acids) - Acetyl-CoA --- thiolase Acetoacetyl-CoA --- reductase D (-)-?-Hydroxybutyryl-CoA ----- PHA polymerase PHAs.

Objective To probe into the reasons for and results of remedial surgical therapy in thoracic aortic dissection patients after first endovascalar repair.Methods From July 2000 to December 2012,12 cases received second interventional surgery.The average time from second therapy to first surgery was ( 14 ± 11 ) months.Main reasons for second endovascular therapy were sustained type Ⅰ endoleak at proximal landing zone and type A dissection caused by retrograde tear.Therapies included hybrid operations in 8 cases and absnlute endovascular therapy in 4 cases.Results The 30 day mortality after the second intervention was 5.6％ ( 1/12),total mortality rate was 16.7％ (2/12).In 7 cases with endoleak,small endoleak remained after remedial therapy (57.1％ ) in 4 cases.Among 4 cases with secondary type A aortic dissection,successful staged hybrid operation with mid-sternal thoracotomy was adopted in 3 cases,one died of pulmonary emtbolism during follow-up period,1 case with Bebcet disease still had proximal type Ⅰ endoleak after second hybrid operation,and died from tear of aorta.Conclusions Endoleak and secondary type A aortic dissection are the main cause necessitating second intervention after primary endovascular therapy for thoracic aortic dissection.Hybrid operation remains the best choice to treat postoperative complications after endovascular therapy for thoracic aortic dissection.

Objective To evaluate early results of Endurant stent-graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).Methods From July 2010 to June 2011,68 patients (57 men,11 women; mean age 74.3 years) were treated with Endurant stent-graft at our center.26 cases had hostile proximal neck in the anatomy.According to ASA classification,15 cases were class Ⅱ ; 32 cases were class Ⅲ and 21 cases were class Ⅳ.Results Intraoperative immediate technical success was achieved in all cases.At completion angiography,a type Ⅱ endoleak was detected in 18 (26％) of the 68 patients.The mean operation time was (96 ± 29) min,the mean blood loss was (99 ± 68 ) ml,and the mean contrast usage was (122 ± 65) ml.No intraoperative conversion to open surgery,stent migration,types Ⅰ/Ⅲ endoleak,other major complications,or death was encountered.49 patients (72％) had a postimplantation syndrome with fever,leukocytosis,and increase of C-reactive protein levels,which completely resolved within two weeks.The mean follow-up time was (8 ± 5) months.Conclusions Endurant stent-graft seems to be safe and effective in endovascular aneurysm repair,even in patients with hostile aortoiliac anatomy.

Objective To analyze the serum keratin 18 (K18) level of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) and its correlation with prognosis.Methods From December 2012 to October 2014,120 patients who visited Fuzhou Infectious Diseases Hospital and diagnosed with HBV-ACLF were enrolled,and 20 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and 20 healthy controls were enrolled with matched gender and age.Enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay was used for the detection of K18 (M30,M65) and the differences of M30,M65,M30/M65 and other laboratory results were analyzed among the first enrolled 40 patients with HBV-ACLF,20 CHB patients and 20 healthy controls.All HBV-ACLF patients were followed up for 3 months and divided into two groups (death group and survival group).And M30 and M65 in both groups were detected and their clinical data were collected.Continuous variables between groups were compared using t test and one-way analysis of varicmce.Categorical variables were compared using X2 test.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used for prognostic analysis.Results The serum M30 in HBV-ACLF group,CHB group and healthy controls group were (2.99 ±0.29),(3.12±0.26) and (2.16 ±0.12) lg U/L,respectively (F=95.36,P＜ 0.01).The serum M65 in the three groups were (3.41 ± 0.29),(3.38+0.29) and (2.01±0.11) lg U/L,respectively (F=217.60,P＜0.01).And M30/M65 the three groups were 0.39 ± 0.11,0.55 ± 0.09 and 1.45 ± 0.34,respectively (F=202.63,P＜0.01).The white blood cell,total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in HBV-ACLF patients were the highest,and platelet,albumin,serum sodium and prothrombin time activity were the lowest.After following up for 3 months of 120 patients with HBV-ACLF,40 of them died with fatality rate of 33.3％.The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the M30/M65 was 0.871,and that of score of model for endstage liver disease (MELD) was 0.668 (Z=3.011,P＜0.01).The M30/M65 ratio was significantly negatively correlated with the MELD score (r=-0.389,P＜0.01).Conclusions K18 (M65 and M30)are strongly associated with liver disease severity.The M30/M65 ratio may be a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker for the patients with HBV-ACLF.

Objective To study the effects of ethanol extract of rhizoma phragmitis on liver glycogen content and glycogen synthetase (GS) in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic mice. Methods The diabetic model mice were divided in-to model control group, high-dose group and low-dose group, 10 mice for each group. Another 10 normal mice were used as control group. The liver glycogen content was detected by histochemical staining of glycogen (PAS) method. The expression of GS mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assays. Results After PAS staining the hepatic glycogen content decreased significantly in model control group, and which was significantly increased in low-dose group and high-dose group compared with that of model control group (P＜0.01). The hepatic glyco-gen content was the highest in high-dose group compared with that of other three groups. The levels of GS mRNA and GS protein were significantly lower in model control group than those of other three groups, which were significantly lower in low-dose group than those of high-dose group (P＜0.05). Conclusion There is a dose-dependent effect of ethanol extract of rhizoma phragmitis on liver glycogen in STZ induced diabetic mice, which may be related with the increased expression of liver glycogen synthetase.
