Objective To investigate the relationship among Survivin, PTEN and the occurrence, development, soakage and prog-nesis of gastric cancer. Methods The in-situ hybrization technique, immunochemistry and TUNEL method were used to detect the expres-sion of survivin mRNA, PTEN protein and apoptotic cell. Results The positive rate of survivin expression in gastric cancer was obvious higher than that in para-cancer tissue(P <0.01). Moreover, survivin expression rate in advanced clinical stage and low differentiation gastric cancer degree.was higher, compared with para-cancer tissue (P <0.01, P <0.05). The positive rate of PTEN expression in gas-tric cancer was obvious lower than that in pars-cancer tissue (P <0.01). The positive rate of PTEN expression in advanced clinical stage and low differentiation degree of tissue in gastric cancer was lower (P < 0.01). Furthermore, survivin and apoptesis indexes manifested negative relationship in gastric cancer(r =-0.861, P < 0.01), While PTEN and apoptosis indexes manifested positive relationship (r = 0.832, P < 0.01). Conclusions Survivin could be used as a novel marker to detect gastric cancer. PTEN gene lost function, which maybe promote the origin, growth, soakage and metastasis of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the function of TRAIUCaspase-3 and NF-κB among the occurrence, development and malignant invasion of bile duct carcinoma. Methods The in-situ hybrization technique and immunochemistry method were adopted to detect expression of TRAIL, Caspase-3 and NF-κB. Results The positive rates of TRAIL expression in carcinoma of bile duct and paracancer tissue were 45.2 % (19/42) and 53.3 %(8/15), respectively. The differences were not significant (P >0.05), and there were no evident difference between expression of TRAIL and every clinic pathology factor(P >0.05). The positive rates of Caspase-3 expression in carcinoma of bile duct were 30.9 %(13/42), which were obviously lower than those in paracancer tissue, 60.0 %(9/15)(P<0.05). However, The positive rates of NF-κB expression in carcinoma of bile duct were 61.9 %(26/42), obviously higher than those in paracancer tissue, 26.7 %(4/15)(P <0.05). The positive rates of Caspase-3, NF-κB expression were relation to metastasis and proliferation, differentiation degree of tissue and survival time (P <0.05), but were independent of sex, ages and position of carcinoma(P > 0.05). Moreover, TRAIL and Caspase-3 manifested positive relationship (P <0.05). On the contrary , NF-κB and Caspase-3 manifested negative relationship (P <0.05). However, there was no relationship between TRAIL and NF-κB(P >0.05). Conclusion Expression of TRAIL has no selectivity of tumour, Its expression is higher or lower which couldn' t absolutely decide tumour' s metastasis and proliferation, and could not decide malignant degree and prognosis of tumour, too. Activation of NF-κB and losing action or absence of Caspase-3 possibly accelerate metastasis and proliferation of tumour, which result in bad prognosis. NF-κB interdicte TRAIL inducing apoptosis approach via control activation of NF-κB, which induce tissue to avoiding apoptosis and multiplication unboundedly, leading to tumour's occurrence, development, metastasis and diffuseness.

Stethoscope diaphragms were sampled randomly for bacteria culture and identification from nursing and medical staff in 3 community health institutions in Zhongshan city. Anonymous filling in questionnaire was taken for investigating frequency of cleaning stethoscope by staff. A total of 100 stethoscope diaphragms were sampled, and a total of 523 bacteria strains were isolated. Eighty-six percent of stethoscopes surveyed were contaminated with bacteria, among the isolated organisms, G+ bacteria and G-bacteria accounted for 78% and 22% respectively. The Bacterial contamination rate and G- rate of stethoscopes used by inpatient staff were 6. 2 strains and 2. 1 strains per stethoscope respectively, which were significantly higher than those used by outpatient staff (4. 8 strain and 1. 1 strain per stethoscope, P <0. 05 and P < 0. 01, respectively). A total of 105 questionnaires showed that 21% (6/28) of nursing staff cleaned stethoscope monthly, meanwhile 12% (7/56) of outpatient medical staff and 14% (3/21) of inpatient medical staff (P <0. 01) did so; 29% (8/28) of nursing staff cleaned their stethoscopes once a year or never, meanwhile, the figures for outpatient and inpatient medical staff were 55% (31/56) and 57% (12/21) respectively (P <0. 01). Results indicate that there is high rate of bacterial contamination in stethoscopes, and G- is more frequently found in stethoscopes used by inpatient staff than outpatient. In general, the frequency of stethoscope cleaning is low, however, more frequently for nursing staff than medical staff.

Objective To discuss the application of Chaperon guiding catheter system in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Methods A total of 20 patients with intracranial aneurysms were enrolled in this study. The patients hadⅡorⅢtype of aortic arch (n=11) or sclerotic plague at the orifice of internal carotid or vertebral artery (n = 9). Endovascular embolization of the intracranial aneurysm was carried out in all patients. By using Cordis guiding catheter system the catheter was placed into the target artery. Chaperon guiding catheter system was used during the procedure in order to determine whether the Chaperon guiding catheter could be smoothly placed into the target artery or not. Results When the Chaperon guiding catheter system was employed in the endovascular procedure, the difficulties of catheterization caused by the distortion of the aorta or by the plagues on the walls of arteries could be basically overcome. The Guiding catheter could be smoothly placed into the target arteries. Conclusion The Chaperon guiding catheter system can be successfully used in the endovascular treatment for the intracranial aneurysms, especially when the patient has tortuous aorta or there is sclerotic plague on the artery wall.
