Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2)in gastric carcinoma tissue and normal gastric tissue of these patients,and its relationship with the clinical pathological characteristic,the microvessel density( MVD) and early post-operative recurrence,and to analyze the clinical significance of expression of HER-2 in gastric carcinoma,in order to lay the theoretical foundation of effective therapy for gastric carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 398 cases of gastric cancer and 363 cases of their adjacent non tumorous gastric tissue of Liaoning Cancer Hospital from March 2012 to July 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.The expression of HER-2 gene was detected by IHC method and Fish method.The expressive rate of HER-2 in gastric carcinoma tissue and normal gastric tissue of these pa-tients were compared,and its relationship with the clinical pathological characteristic,MVD and early post opera-tive recurrence were also analyzed.Results (1)Expressive rate of HER-2 in 398 cases of gastric cancer tissue was 14.07%(56/398),which was higher than that in all the adjacent non tumorous gastric tissue presented none expression 0(0/363)(P<0.05);(2)In gastric cancer tissue of 398,the expression of HER-2 was related with Lauren type,tumor site,vessel invasion status,TNM stage,lymph node metastases(P<0.05),and it had no cor-relation with age,sex,tumor size,histological differentiation degree,growth patterns of cancer(P>0.05).Expres-sive rate of HER-2 in T4 stage was higher than( T1 +T2 +T3 ) stage,but the difference was not statistically sig-nificant( P>0.05).(3)The value of MVD in HER-2 expressive group(58.63 ±19.97)was significantly higher than those in HER-2 non expressive group(49.04 ±19.25).A positive significant correlation was found be-tween HER-2 and MVD expression using the rank correlation matrix(P<0.001,r=4.33).(4)1 year and 1.5 year of early post operative recurrence rate in HER-2 expressive group were 16.00%、38.00%,in HER-2 non expressive group were 8.81%,25.53%,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion There is excessive expression of HER -2 in gastric cancer tissue,excessive expression of HER -2 patients withgastric cancer is correlated with Lauren type,tumor location,vessel invasion status,TNM stage,lymph node metastases;it displays no correlation with age,sex,tumor size,histological differentiation degree,growth patterns ofcancer.HER -2 expression is positively associated with MVD value.Excessive expression of HER -2 is possibleto be correlative with early post operative recurrence,and it must have further follow up to confirm.

Objective To investigate the effects of flumazenil and naloxone on scopolamine-induced impairment of spatial working memory in rats.Methods Forty pathogen-free SD rats weighing 160-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=10 each):group I control(group C);group IIscopolamine(group S);group III flumazenil+scopolamine(group SF)and group IV naloxone+scopolamine(group SN).Scopolamine 0.8 mg/kg was administered IP once a day for 3 consecutive days in group II-IV.In group SF and SN flumazenil 0.5 mg/kg and naloxone 2 mg/kg were administered IP respectively once a day for 3 consecutive days in addition to scopolamine.Thirty minutes after last IP administration,cognitive function was assessed using Y-maze.The animals were killed after cognitive function assessment and bilateral hippocampi Were isolated for determination of mAChRM1 mRNA expression(by RT-PCR)and detection of ChAT positive neurons(by immuno-histochemistry).Results Cognitive dysfunction developed in group S as compared with control group and was ameliorated in group SF and SN.The number of ChAT positive neurong and mAChRM1 mRNA expression were significantly decreased in group S compared with control group and were significantly higher in group SF and SN than in group S.Conclusion Flumazenll and naloxone can ameliorate the scopolamine-induced impairment of spatial working memory by improving cholinergic neuron function.

Objective To study the related factors and how they influence the formation of collateral circulation in patients with severe coronary arteries stenosis. Methods A total of 111 consecutive patients were catagorized into 3 groups according to their grading of collateral connections which were: CC0 (n=27), CC1 (n=45) and CC2 (n=39) respectively. Serum lipid levels were measured including total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein. All patients received UCG examination within one week after admission. Results (1)Serum lipid levels: the total cholestoral level in the CC2 group (4.23?0.71 mmol/) was lower than those of the CC0 group (4.81?0.88 mmol/L, P0.05) and the CC2 group (1.40?0.24 mmol/L, P

Objective To investigate the electromyographic(EMG)characteristics of sternocleidomastoid muscle in patients with motor neuron disease.Methods The clinical and EMG data of 461 patients of MND group and 349 of non-MND group were analyzed retrospectively.Results The abnormality rate of sternocleidomastoid EMG in MND group was 60.3%,much higher than that in non-MND group(4.6%)(P

Objective To compare the value of biphasicmulti-detector row helical computed tomogrpahy(MDCT),digital subtraction angiography(DSA)and lipiodol computed tomography(CT)in hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods 80 cases with liver cancer were underwent MDCT、DSA、iodized oil CT scan,then compared detection rates of three methods.Results In detecting hepatic nodules(＞2cm),these three imaging techniques had the same sensitivity;for 1～2cm hepatic nodules,the detecting rate had no significant difference;The MDCT scan＜1cm detected 47 nodules(94.0%),iodized oil CT detected 27 nodules(54.0%),both statistically significant difference in detection rate(χ~2=3.11,P＜0.01),DSA is only detected 16 nodules(32.0%)compared with enhanced dual-phase MDCT scan and iodized oil CT detection rate the differences were statistically significant(χ~2=9.09,9.03,all P＜0.01).Conclusion MDCT is able to better show feeding arteries of hepatocellular carcinoma,The imaging examination of liver cancer before treatment can be used as a comprehensive evaluation.

Heat shock protein (HSP) is a family of poly-peptdic-proteins with many members. A great deal of data show that heat shock proteins act as molecular chaperones to regulate protein folding, translocation and assembly, it can combine with other peptidic-proteins existing in cells and participating in the process of anti-damage, repair and thermotolerance of cells. In recent years, with the progress of research in this field, it has arisen extensive attentions of the application of heat shock proteins in etiology , therapeutics and prevention of tumor. HSP becomes one of the most active research field.

Objective To culture astrocytes of human optic nerve and establish the cell lines for further study of healing process after optic nerve trauma. [WT5”HZ]Methods [WT5”BZ]Astrocytes of infantile optic nerve were cultured by tissue inoculation or tissue digestion with 0.25% trypsin and 0.06% EDTA. The second and fourth passage cells were stained with HE and anti GFAP, S 100 protein, vimentin, and CD34 antibodies. [WT5”HZ]Results The trypsinized astrocytes of infantile optic nerve reached confluence in 7 days. The cultured cells were in polygonal shape with processes and the cytoplasm was abundant. These cells were positive in GFAP, S 100 protein and vimentin staining, and negative in CD34 staining. Conclusions Astrocytes of human optic nerve can be successfully cultured by trypsinization rather than tissue inoculation.

Objective To identify the condition of colostomy care in different postoperative stages among the colostomy patients. Methods This study was divided into two section. Using the self-designed questionnaire to investigate 42 postoperative colostomy patients in the first and the second year respectively after the colostomy operation. Results With the time passing by, the money which have been used in buying colostomy products increased, while, the time in the colostomy care decreased. There are no significant difference between the two time point in colostomy self-care ability. The effect factors are age and the time since colostomy in the first year; and gender, age and the time since colostomy are the factors in the second years. Conclusion Nurses should using different nursing method according to the different physical and psychological condition of colostomy patients, and then promote rehabilitation early.
