1.Significance of KAI1 protein expression in tissues of papillary thyroid cancer and follicular thyroid cancer
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2012;(33):1-3
Objective To investigate the expression of KAI1 protein in tissues of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and follicular thyroid cancer,and the effect of KAI1 protein in invasion and metastasis of PTC.Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with PTC (PTC group),17 patients with follicular thyroid cancer (follicular cancer group) and 30 patients with benign thyroid tumor (control group) were retrospectively analyzed from January 2006 to August 2009.The expression of KAI1 protein in PTC tissues,follicular thyroid cancer tissues and benign thyroid tumor tiasues were detected by immunohistochemistry method.Results The positive expression rate of KAI1 protein in PTC group was 48.3%(28/58),in follicular cancer group was 47.1%(8/17),in control group was 86.7 %(26/30).There was significant difference between PTC group,follicular cancer group and control group (P< 0.01).There was no significant difference between PTC group and follicular cancer group (P > 0.05).There was no significant difference in the positive expression rate of KAI1 protein of PTC tissues among the different sex,age and size of the primary lesion (P> 0.05).The positive expression rate of KAI1 protein in the TNM Ⅰ was 88.9%(8/9),the TNM Ⅱ was 60.9%(14/23)and the TNM Ⅲ-Ⅳ was 23.1% (6/26),there was significant difference in the positive expression rate of KAI1 protein among the different TNM stage (P < 0.01).The positive expression rate of KAI1 protein in the lymph node metastasis patients was 32.3% (10/31),the non-lymph node metastasis patients was 66.7% (18/27),there was significant difference (P < 0.05).Conclusion The expression of KAI1 protein may reflect the PTC metastasis and the clinical evolution of tumors,the KAI1 protein may inhibit the invasion and metastasis of PTC.

Objective:To summarize the current policies and measures in curbing health corruption in China, and to evaluate the implementation results of these policies and measures.Methods:We made a systematic review to search and screen the literatures, with related thematic information extracted, compared and classified to form an integrated view by the data integration method of thematic synthesis.Results:A total of 147 literatures were included, covering such health policies and measures as the basic drug system, the centralized bidding and purchasing and centralized drug purchasing, the " two-invoice system" , hospital information disclosure system, adverse records of commercial bribery, doctor′s virtue evaluation system and no bribery agreement. These five policies and measures prove effective in curbing the corruption, but some types of corruption tend to evade such restrictions.Conclusions:The five types of policy measures summarized in the study have effectively curbed the high risk exposure of corruptions found in drugs, medical consumables and medical devices, and also guided and restrained the profit-oriented behaviors of the behavior subjects. Stronger measures should be integrated into a broader reform of the healthcare system, in combination with institutional compensation and operational mechanism reform, medical personnel compensation and incentive system, and modern pluralistic governance reform. Meanwhile, studies in the field of corruption need to focus on the direct and indirect effects of multi-level medical reform policies on corruption governance from an integrated perspective, while attention needs to cover more types of corruption behaviors, and to diversify research methods, so as to provide more practical policy support.
