Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Ezrin in skeletal muscle of myopathy patients. Methods The skeletal muscle specimens with obviously regenerating muscle fibers were obtained from 9 patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 5 patients with polymyositis (PM). Then frozen serial sections were made and the sections were treated with HE stain, immunohistochemistry stains including anti-Ezrin and anti-Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) monoclonal antibodies. The pathological changes and the expression of Ezrin were observed. Results The small regenerating fibers, central location of nucelus and basophilia endochylema were observed under HE stain both in the patients with DMD and PM. Anachromasis of anti-NCAM monoclonal immunohistochemistry stain was found in the regenerating muscle fibers. Positive Ezrin expression was also detected in the regenerating fibers. However, this expression tapered gradually as the mature process of skeletal muscle. The expression of Ezrin was negative in the mature fibers. Ezrin expressed in the myoblasts. Conclusions Ezrin may be closely related to the regenerating skeletal muscle fibers of DMD and PM patients.

Objective To verify a uncommon neurodegenerative disease accompanying with dementia--frontal lobe dementia, or dementia of frontal lobe type (DFT). Methods A brain sample was obtained from a patient of 46-year-old male with progressive dementia. Conventional neurohistopathological examination and immunostaining for prion protein (PrP) and tau protein were performed, and clinical data were analysed. Results (1) It was shown having progressive neurological and psychical symptoms and a three month illness duration. (2) Atrophy was found in bilateral frontal gray matter in CT scan. Slow waves of high amplitude with long intermission of two second in whole course of electroencephalography examination were seen. (3) Brain weight was 1 050 g. The cerebral cortex was atrophied and restricted to frontal lobes. The temporal lobes were unaffected. (4) A severe loss of nerve cells from second frontal cortical layer with glioses was revealed, but pyramidal cells in this region remained intact. There were no positive findings on staining of Beilschowky and Gallyas methods. (5) No inclusions were seen in remaining nerve cells and gliocyte. (6) Immunohistochemistry revealed no significant changes on PrP and tau protein.Conclusion This is more typical a case of DFT , and now increasingly recognized. It suggests that a dementia of frontal lobe type should be considered when differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease with dementia have been made.

Background and purpose:Angiogenesis plays an important part in growth and metastases of breast cancer. Nowadays researchers put more concern about whether endocrine therapy adjusts tumor angiogenesis in breast cancer. Here we investigated the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression in breast cancer in response to various stimuli:estradiol(E2) ,ICI182780 and tamoxifen. Methods:We studied the regulation of VEGFmRNA expression in MCF-7 cells stimulated by E2 at different doses and duration by semiquantitative RT-PCR. When ICI182780 and Tamoxifen used alone or in combination with E2,the expression of VEGFmRNA was detected respectively. Results:Dose-dependent experiments indicated that the maximum VEGF mRNA level(0.125?0.006) -(0.112?0.014) was obtained at 1-10 nmol/L.The response of VEGFmRNA expression to E2(1 nmol/L) occurred in a time-dependent manner;the level of VEGF transcripts(0.105?0.009) signifi cantly increased within 2 h and reached a maximum at 6 h(0.140?0.024)(P

Objective To explore the correlation between hepatitis B virus large surface protein(HBV-LP)and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid(HBV-DNA),analyze the clinical significance of detecting the two index dynamically for diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B.Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR)were used to detect the levels of HBV-LP and HBV-DNA in serum specimen of 230 hepatitis B patients.Results There was a positive correlation between the content of HBV-LP and copy numbers of HBV-DNA in serum of hepatitis B positive cases(r=0.84,P＜0.01).The positive rate was 84.78％ in HBV-LP and 84.35％ in HBV-DNA of 230 HBV positive cases.As a result there was no significant difference(P＞0.05)in this study.Therefore,the positive rate was 63.63 ％(35/55)in HBV-LP and 58.18％(32/55)in HBV-DNA of 55 HBV negative cases.There was also no significant difference(P＞0.05)in this study.However,the positive rate of HBV-LP(82.47％)was higher than HBE(52.06％)in the 194 HBV-DNA positive cases.There was significantly different(P＜0.01).Conclusion HBV-LP and HBV-DNA are the significant index of the degree of hepatitis B virus replication in hepatitis B positive cases,especially in determining the virus replication and prognosis of treatment in HBe Ag negative,providing the reliable laboratory data for the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND: Pathological changes of the brain tissue in patients with dementia of frontal type(DFT) are still controversial. This paper brought forward the pathological alterative characteristics of brain tissue in DFT patients through one pathological case study of the brain tissue in one dead dementia patient.OBJECTIVE: To validate one uncommon neurodegenerative disease complicated with dementia, DFT.DESIGN: A case analysis.SETTING: Department of Neurology of the First Hospital of Jilin University METHODS: Brain anatomy, serials of histological staining and immunohistochemical staining for PrP, tau protein, etc. were performed after 3 hours since the death of one patient with progressive dementia.stainingfrontal lobes. EEG displayed a paroxysmal high-amplitude slow wave with and the brain atrophy was limited to frontal lobe and the temporal lobe loss of neurocyte companied with significant gliosis since the second layer; However, the pyramidal cell was relatively healthy. No abnormality was munohistochemical staining had negative reactions.CONCLUSION: This case was typical DFT. This type of dementia should be considered in future analysis of the neurodegenerative disease complicated with dementia.

Objective 　To investigate the neuropathological changes of central nervous system in Guillain-Barré syndrom. Methods　Brain, spinal cord and sciatic nerve were obtained from 22 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Eight cases were examined by general autopsy, 14 cases were examined by limited autopsy. HE, KB, Bielschowsky, Weil and Sudan Ⅲ　staining were carried out, the sections were observed by light microscopy. Results　1.Cerebral superficial veins congested, widening of the cortical sulci, narrowed gyri and mild cerebellar tonsillar hernia were present. 2. Majority of cerbral neurons presented an ischemic changes. Slightly loss of hippocampal pyramidal neurons were found. There was chromatolysis of motor neurons of brain stem. Lymphocytic infiltration around the small vessels occurred in the pons and medullary oblongata in 8 cases. Focal demyelination was noted in pons and frontal white matter in 2 cases. Loss of Purkinje cells and appearance of glial nodules were observed in molecular layer of cerebellum. 3. Swellin, central chromatolysis and eccentric nuclei of anterior horn cells appeared in 16 cases, which were pronounced in cervical and lumbal segment of spinal cord. Vaculated neuroplasma and lymphacytic infiltrition could be seen. 4. Segmental demyelination and lymphocytic infiltration were the main neuropathological changes observed in 20 cases. There were two other cases in which the axon were severely involved, which showed swelling and breakdown of axons and as well as axonal bulbs. Conclusions　1. Lymphocytic infiltration in brain stem and spinal cord were in continuousness of pathological changes of peripheral nerves. 2. Finding of glial nodules suggested that there was possibility of infection of neurotropic virus. 3. Occurence of focal demyelination in cerebrum and brain stem indicated that Guillain-Barré syndrome may have combined involvement of central and peripheral nervous system.

Objective Through comparative study of the rate and influence factors of intraoperative and postoperative complications of cervical cancer after laparoscopic radical hysterectomy which to guide the clinical practice of this kind of surgery in the future. Methods The clinical data of 314 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy from January 2013 to December 2015, the complication rate was observed, and the inlfuencing factors were analyzed by the method of multiple factor analysis. Result The number of intraoperative complications were 20 cases, accounting for 6.37%, the number of postoperative complications were 80 cases, accounting for 25.48%. Intraoperative complications influence factors including FIGO, surgery time, doctors surgery experience [OR^ =2.00, 95%CI (1.00~4.25)] which have the highest value. postoperative complications inlfuence factors including age, body mass index (BMI), lymph node metastasis, FIGO, doctors surgery experience, operative time [O^R=4.69, 95%CI (1.05~2.84)] which have the highest value. Conclusions Complications are dififcult to avoid completely, but we can reduce it by age, BMI, lymph node metastasis, FIGO, operation time, doctor’s operation experience and so on.

Objective To study the MRI findings of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and its clinical relations. Methods MRI of 10 cases CJD patients were examined 2-12 months after the onset. 6 cases were diagnosed using cerebral biopsy, 8 cases received CSF analysis for 14-3-3 protein, 8 cases showed special changes of electroencephalogram, PrP gene of 9 cases were analyzed. Results Symmetric bilateral high signals were observed in caudate nucleus and Putamen in T 2-weighted imaging and Flair imaging in 5 cases, but the pallidum and thalamus were normal. No changes were found in T1-weighted imaging. 2 cases showed brain atrophy, 1 case showed mild lacunar infarction,and the other 2 were normal. Conclusions Abnormal signals in basal ganglia of 4 patients of 129Met/Met homozygote occurred after 2.5 months averagely, they survived for 10.5 months at average. 1 patient of 129 Met/Val heterozygote showed abnormal signals in basal ganglia after 12 months, and survived for 16 months. The mean duration of patient with abnormal signals in basal ganglia (12.2 months) is longer than those without changes in basal ganglia (5.5 months). Symmetric high signal in bilateral caudate nucleus and Putamen is an important imaging feature of sCJD. It might be served as a diagnostic index in some circumstances.
