Objective:To study the correlation between C-myc express io n and clinicopathological characteristics of oromaxillofacial sarcoma. M ethods:C-myc expression was determined by SP method in 37 cases of sarc oma and 14 benign mesenchymal tumors in oral and maxillofacial region. R esults:C-myc expression was detectd in 22 cases (40.54%) of sarcoma and in none of the benign tumor. In sarcoma of gradeⅠ, Ⅱand Ⅲ, the positive r ates of C-myc expression were 16.70%, 30% and 66.67% respectively, and a statis tical significance was only observed in C-myc expression between gradeⅠand Ⅲ( P

Objective Explore the value of APM histochemical stain technique in the diagnosis of amniotic fluid embolism(AFE).Method The pulmonary tissues taken from autopsies performed in 1988～2001 including 19 AFE cases and 3 babies died of amniotic fluid aspiratory pneumonia(positive control),10 women in labor died of other causes(negative control) were sectioned again and stained by APM method and HE method. Comparative statistical research was carried out on findings from the 2 staining methods. Results By APM stain,amniotic fluid elements could be found in all AFE cases and positive control cases as well as some negative control cases.In addition,we found 1 positive case neglected and 1 false negative case of AFE retrospectively.Statistical comparison revealed that APM stain can elevate the detection rates both for keratinized epithelium and mucus.Conclusion APM staining provided possibility of detecting some amniotic fluid elements that was not distinguished by HE stain. The APM stain is helpful and can be used for AFE diagnosis in routine histological examination.

Objective To study the protective effect of resveratrol on endothelial cells injury induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and its protective mechanism. Methods The injured model was established by endothelial cell treated with oxLDL. In the experiment, endothelial cell were cultured in vitro and divided into seven groups which were: control group; solvent (DMSO) group, oxLDL group, quercetin plus oxLDL group, Reseveratrol-L (0.5 mol/L), M(5 mol/L), H(50 mol/L) plus oxLDL group respectively. Endothelial cells were incubated with 200?g/ml oxLDL for 18 hours in the absence or presence of various concentrations of resveratrol and quercetin. The apoptotic index was detected by flow cytometric. Meanwhile, the content of Malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of SOD, GSHPX in the culture medium and homogenate of endothelial cells were measured. Results Incubation of endothelial cells with oxLDL for 18 h elicited a significant increase in the percent of apoptotic endothelial cells, in control group, the percent of apoptotic cells is 7.6?0.6, however in oxLDL group, it increased to 41.4?2.3, furthermore, oxLDL induced the increase of the contents of MDA, and accompanied by the decrease in the activity of SOD, GSHPX in the endothelial cells, the difference of was significant as compared with control group. Pretreatment of resveratrol with 0.5～50 mol/L decreased these oxLDL-induced changes, in Reseveratrol with 50 mol/L group, the percent of apoptotic cells decreased to 13.0?1.5, the difference of was significant as compared with oxLDL group (P

0.05), but were highly significant at doses of 100 ?mol/L or above (P

砄bjective:To study the characteristics of proliferation and differentiation of malignant ameloblastoma.Methods:The expression of PCNA,Ki 67, CK19 and CK10 and CK13 proteins in 17 cases of malignant ameloblastoma was detected immunohistochemically by SP method. Results: The proliferating indices of PCNA and Ki 67 were significantly higher in malignant ameloblastoma than those in benign ameloblastoma ( P

Objective To investigate if vascular endothelial growth factor-D(VEGF-D) and endostatin(ES) promote angiogenesis in colorectal cancer(CRC). Methods One hundred and five patients undergoing CRC surgery were enrolled in this study. CRC and normal tissue microarray were produced and measured for VEGF-D and ES by immunohistochemmical staining.Results VEGF-D and ES expression were stronger in CRC tissues than in control normal mucosa. MVD was higher in cancer tissues than in normal ones. ES down-regulated expression was associated with less invasiveness, positive lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and in cases of early Dukes′ stage, while the expression of VEGF-D in corresponding tissues was on the opposite to ES. MVD increased along with tumor invasion, lymph involvement, distant metastasis and late Dukes′ stage. Conclusions VEGF-D in accord with ES promotes the angiogenesis and progression of CRC.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to investigate the role of nuclear morphometric parameters, DNA content and Ag-NOR count in the differentiating malignant and benign ameloblastomas.

METHODSTotally 17 cases of malignant ameloblastomas were examined by using HE, AgNOR and DNA stain methods. Morphometric parameters of cell nuclei, DNA content and AgNOR count were quantitatively studied by using an image analysis system.

RESULTSSeven parameters (area, perimeter, equal diameter, minor diameter, mean diameter, round index, axis ratio) out of ten shape factors were significantly different between malignant and benign ameloblastoma (P < 0.01). AgNOR count and DNA index in malignant ameloblastoma were significantly higher than those in benign ameloblastoma (P < 0.01). Logistic regression equation was established, according to nuclear morphormetric parameters and DNA index.

CONCLUSIONQuantitative analysis of DAN content, nuclear morphmetric parameters and AgNOR count may be helpful in differentiating malignant and benign ameloblastomas.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the curative effect of radioimmunological targeting drug on nude mice bearing breast cancer. Methods The anti-CEA monoclonal antibody C50 was combined with ~ 131 I to produce radioimmunological targeting drug. 16 nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with breast cancer cell MCF-7 with tumor diameter about 0.5 cm were randomly into 4 groups(n=4): group Ⅰ, injected in part with ~ 131 I-C50 18.5 MBq; group Ⅱ, injected in part with ~ 131 I-C50 3.7 MBq; group Ⅲ, injected in part with ~ 131 I-mIgG 18.5 MBq; group Ⅳ, injected in part with C50 0.75 ?g. The size of tumor volume and inhibitory rate (IR) after treatment for six weeks were calculated and compared with the control group. Results The tumor volume and curves for tumor growth and tumor weight had significant differences between group Ⅰ and the group Ⅲ as well as group Ⅱ (P0.05). Conclusion Anti-CEA monoclonal antibody C50 labeled with radionuclide ~ 131 I could inhibit the growth of the tumor when given locally. ~ 131 I-C50 has a potential value of clinical application

Polysaccharide sulphate (PSS) 1. 8, 5. 4 and 18mg ? kg-1 ig could remarkably reduce blood glucose of alloxan - induced diabetes in rabbits . The doses of PSS could decrease the high blood glucose caused by adrenaline . PSS 1. 8 and 5. 4mg ? kg-1 could not reduce blood glucose concentration in normal rabbits, but PSS 18mg ? kg-1 could do. The glucose to lerance test showed that PSS 5. 4 and 18mg ?kg-1 could reduce the increase of blood glucose level caused by glucose loading after administration of glucose in rats (5g ? kg-1, ig) and could also persistently decrease blood glucose of alloxan - induced diabetes in rats after the doses of PSS ig for 5d.
