Objective To study the adverse effect of mercury on the tibial nerves of rats. Methods Seventy SD rats (35 females, 35 males, weighed 160-200 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups. 40 rats in group 1 were used to test the acute toxicity of HgCl2, 10 rats in group 2 were given HgCl2 by gavage at 17 mg/kg(1/4 LD50) daily, in group 3 the dose was 8.5 mg/kg(1/8 LD50), 10 rats in group 4 were treated with 0.9% saline 2 ml by gavage daily, the experimental duration was (20?4) days. When the model had been developed, all the male rats were killed and the female rats in group 2 and 3 were given the chelator(DMPS) by intraperitoneal injection at 28 mg/kg for 2 periods of treatment, then were killed and the tibial nerves were examined with the electronic microscope. Results The oral LD50 of HgCl2 was 68.1 mg/kg. Seven rats in group 2 (7/10) were poisoned and two of them got pain manifestation. Six rats in group 3(6/10) were poisoned. Myelinoclasis and the changed axons were found in the tibial nerves of poisoned rats and it was more serious in the rats with pain. The chelator(DMPS) did not relieve the change. Conclusion Sub-acute poisoning of HgCl2 can induce degeneration of tibial nerves in SD rats .

Bilateral mandibular first molars of 36 rabbits were extracted.The tooth extraction wounds were treated by:platelet-rich fibrin +acellular dermal matrix(group A),platelet-rich fibrin(group B),acellular dermal matrix (group C) and without treatment (group D,the control) (n =9) respectively.The measurments of alveolar bone height and width showed that there were no significant differences among groups at different times(P ＞ 0.05).Bone histomorphometry showed that at the 2th and 4th week,the best result was found in group A(P＜0.01).While,at the 8th week,the result of group A was still better than that of other 3 ones (P ＜ 0.01),but group B and C showed no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).The combination of PRF and ADM shows the most significant effect.

Background and purpose:The BRAF V600E mutation is a highly attractive drug target. Therefore, determining the BRAF gene mutation status of patients is essential in order to assess patients' eligibility for targeted BRAF geneinhibitor therapy. The aim of this study was to validate the utility of immunohistochemistry to rapidly obtain the BRAF gene mutation status. This study aimed to analyze the correlation of the BRAF V600E gene mutation and VE1 protein ex-pression with the clinical pathological characteristics in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:The mutation status of BRAF V600E was detected by DNA sequencing. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of BRAF V600E protein in 108 cases of PTC, 54 cases of thyroid adenoma and 54 cases of normal thyroid tissue.Results:The gene mutation rate of BRAF V600E is 67.6%, and VE1 protein expression rate is 64.8% in 108 cases of PTC. The differences were statistically significant compared with thyroid adenoma and goiter (P<0.05), but have no correlation with the clinical pathological characteristics.Conclusion:BRAF V600E gene mutation and VE1 protein expression are useful biomarkers for the pathological diagnosis of PTC. High consistency was observed between the immunohistochemical staining results and the DNA sequencingresults of BRAF V600E gene mutations. Immunohistochemical technique detecting the BRAF V600E protein expression can effectively reflect indirectly BRAF V600E gene mutation status in PTC.BRAF V600E gene mutation has no contribution to the development of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Lipoma of hemangiopericytomas (LHPC) is one ofrare soft-tissue tumors that grow slowly and occur in deep soft tissues. The classical histological morphology of LHPC is circularor spindle undifferentiated tumor cells that grow surrounding the thin-walled branching blood vessels. The clinical and pathological features of one patient with LHPC are retrospective analyzed to strengthen the understanding of LHPC.
