Objective To investigate the clinical effect of vitapex paste in the treatment of deciduous teeth with periapical inflammation.Methods 112 children with chronic apicitis of deciduous teeth were divided into two groups randomly and averagely.The research group used vitapex paste,while the control group used zinc oxide eugenol paste.The clinical effects of the 2 groups were compared.Results Compared to the control group,the response to root canal filling of the research group was much weaker ( 10.7％ to 25.0％ ),which had statistical difference ( x2 =3.02,P =0.0 1 1 ).There wasalso significant difference betweenthe success rateofthetwogroups after 1 year followed up( x2 =5.16,P =0.004).Conclusion sing vitapex paste for root canal filling had a higher success rate and a weaker respose to root canal filling.

Purpose To investigate the expression and clinical significance of p63 in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lym-phoma (NLPHL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Methods 15 cases of NLPHL and 54 cases of CHL were stained for CD45, CD30, p63, PAX5, CD20, CD15, Oct-2, BOB1, MUM1, EMA, EBV-LMP1 and Ki-67 by immunohistochemical methods of EliVision. EBER were detected by in situ hybridization method in 12 cases of CHL. Results The expression of p63 in NLPHL (53. 3%, 8/15) was significantly higher than that in CHL (0, 0/54) (P<0. 05). Conclusions p63 protein is frequently expressed in NLPHL and helpful in the differential diagnosis between NLPHL and CHL.

Objective To prepare hybrid substrate and apply it to detect thiram with surface-enhanced Raman spectros-copy( SERS) which provides unique molecular vibration information .Methods The Au substrate was prepared by deposi-tion of gold film on the silver substrate that had a rough surface .The Au substrate was treated with amination as a linker with the silver sol before the hybrid substrate was formed .With PATP as a probe molecule ,the Raman intensity of PATP on the Au substrate and the hybrid substrate was compared ,respectively .Results and Conclusion PATP had stronger Raman intensity on hybrid substrate than on the Au , and the detection limit was 10 -9 mol/L.This method can be used for quanti-tative detection on the hybrid substrate by SERS .

Objective:To analyze the polymorphism and haplotypes of HLA-A,B,DRB1 loci in Guangzhou blood donors.Methods:PCR-SSP methods were applied to determine HLA-A,B,DRB1 genotypes of 1 691 unrelated healthy individuals from Guangzhou,and the frenquencies of alleles and haplotypes were calculated with software of Pypop.Results:37 HLA-A alleles,76 HLA-B alleles and 43 HLA-DRB1 alleles were detected,and A02:07-B46:01-DRB109:01 and A33:03-B58:01-DRB103:01 were the most common haplotypes in Guangzhou blood donors.Conclusion:The distribution of alleles and haplotypes of Guangzhou blood donors are close to those of southern Chinese population and provide more genetic information in anthropology,transplantation and studies involoing disease association.

Objective To study the application of super-selective external carotid artery embolization in head and neck diseases. Methods DSA and super-selective external carotid artery embolization were carried out in 41 cases of head and neck diseases including 12 cases of epistaxis,7 nasopharyngeal fibroangioma,1 traumatic arterial bleeding,14 vascular malformation,and 7 malignancies. Results No recurrence of nose bleeding after embolization of epistaxis was seen within 6 - 12-month follow up. The operative bleeding was reduced significantly by preoperative embolization in nasopharyngeal fibroangioma. No recurrence of bleeding was achieved after embolization of traumatic artery. Among the cases of vascular malformation,3 were proven to be significantly effcient,6 effcient,and 5 inefficent in the 6 - 12-month follow up. Among the 7 malignant cases,3 survived more than 2 years. Conclusion Super-selective external carotid artery embolization is safe and effective in the treatment of head and neck diseases.

Objective To investigate the expressions of PTEN and MDM2 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC) and their clinical significance.Methods The expressions of PTEN and MDM2 were detected by tissue immunohistochemistry test (SP method) in BTCC (n =80) and normal bladder tissues (n =20).The relationship between PTEN and MDM2 as well as their correlations with clinical pathological features were analyzed.Results The positive rate of PTEN in different pathological grading (G1,G2,G3)and clinical staging [superficial (Tis ～ T1),infiltration (T2 ～ T4)] was (86.20％,74.07％,37.50％ ;80.00％,46.67％),respectively,with a significant difference (x2 =15.004,P ＜ 0.01 ; x2 =9.497,P ＜0.01).The positive rate of MDM2 in different pathological grading(G1,G2,G3) and clinical staging [superficial (Tis ～ T1),infiltration (T2 ～ T4)] was (82.75％,55.55％,37.50％ ; 70.00％,43.35％),respectively,with a significant differcnce(x2 =11.543,P ＜ 0.01 ; x2 =5.556,P ＜ 0.05).The expression of PTEN was negatively correlated with that of MDM2 in BTCC (r =-0.611,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Expressions of PTEN and MDM2 might be involved in the BTCC pathogenesis.The combined detection of PTEN and MDM2 might be of great value in the prediction of tumor behavior and prognosis.

Objective To assess clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC). Methods Clinicopathological and follow-up data of 115 cHCC-CC patients confirmed pathologically in Liver Cancer Institute of Fudan University from 1995 to 2007 were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate 1-,3- and 5-year survival rates and tumor-free survival rates. Survival curves were analyzed using the log-rank test. The factors that impacted the prognosis of cHCC-CC were estimated. Results In 115 cases, one was Allen's type A, one was Allen's type B, and the other 113 were Allen's type C. Being with male in predominance, most of the cHCC-CC patients had liver cirrhosis background. They presented with elevated AFP or CA19-9, vascular invasion, resembling hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)as well as lymph nodes metastasis. One-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of 115 patients were 68. 1%, 38. 1% and 33.6%, respectively, with median survival time of 13.0 months. Whereas the 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates in radical resected patients were 78.4 % ,44.4 % and 44.4 % ,respectively, with median survival time of 16.0 months. Tumor free survival time at 1-, 3- and 5-year was 57.8 %, 12.6 % and 0.0 %,respectively,with median recurrent time of 10.0 months. One-, 3-, 5-year survival rates of 10 nonsurgical patients were 10/10,10/10 and 0/10,respectively, with median survival time of 5.3 months.TNM stage was independent factor for prognosis of the patients after resection. Whereas the lymph nodes involvement was independent factor for the tumor free survival time of radical resected patients.Conclusions Although clinicopathological characteristics of cHCC-CC are more similar to those of HCC, the prognosis of cHCC-CC is more unfavorable than that of HCC. TNM stage is an independent determinant of long time outcome for patients after resection.

Objective To explore the role of COX-2 and VEGF in oncongensis and development of gestation-al trophoblastic disease,and evaluate prognosis of gestational trophoblastic tumor. Methods The expression of COX-2 and VEGF in normal chorion of early gestation and in gestational trophoblastic disease were detected by immunohis-tochemistry. Results In gestational trophoblastic tumor group,the positive rate of COX-2 and VEGF were significantly highter than that of normal chorion of early gestation group and the hydatidiform mole group respectively ( P < 0.01). There were positive correlation between COX-2 and VEGF in gestational trophoblastic tumor ( r = 0.795, P < 0.01). Conclusion The collaborative and over expression of COX-2 and VEGF were probably associated with the malignant change of trophoblastic cell,which suggest the worse prognosis of the gestational trophoblastic disease.
