Objective To compare the treatment accomplishmentsand adverse effects of the mixed- or single-application of etomidate and propofol during modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) in schizophrenics with hypertension. Methods Ninety hospitalized schizophrenics with hypertension undergoing MECT were ran-domly assigned to 3 groups: Group EP(etomidate = 0.3 mg/kg and propofol = 1.0 mg/kg), Group E (etomi-date = 0.7 mg/kg) and Group P (propofol = 2.0 mg/kg). Changes of SBP, DBP and HR were recorded before anesthesia, after induction, electrical stimulation instantly and 5 min after electrical stimulation. The average pe-riods of epileptic seizure (ESD), postictal suppression index (PSI) and the adverse reactions were also recorded. Results The ESD and PSI scores were significantly higher in Group EP and Group E than those in Group P (P < 0.05). SBP and DBP in Group E were significantly higher at the electrical stimulation instant than those af-ter induction (P < 0.05). SBP and DBP in Group P were significantly lower after induction than those before anesthesia(P < 0.05). The injection pain of Group EP and Group E were lower than that of Group P(P < 0.05). No significant differences were found among 3 groups in the adverse reactions such as nausea/vomiting anddys-phoria.Conclusion The mixed liquor of etomidate and propofol can extend the time of seizure, reduce the nega-tive reaction of cardiovascular system and adverse reactions during MECT in schizophrenics with hypertension.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of combined detection of carbohydrate antigen(CA)125,CA153,carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) and tumor specific growth factor(TSGF) in diagnosis for breast cancer.Methods A total of 125 patients with breast cancer were recruited as objects in this study from march 2015 to march 2016,65 patients in breast cancer group,60 patients in benign breast disease group,meanwhile 55 healthy person were enrolled in the control group.Serum tumor markers such as CA125,CA153,CEA and TSGF were detected and compared in the three groups.Results The serum CA125,CA153,CEA and TSGF levels in the breast cancer group were significant higher than those of benign breast disease group and healthy group,the differences were statistical significant(P<0.05).At the same time,the sensitivity and specificity of joint detection of four kinds of serum tumor marker were 90.2% and 88.9%,which were higher than those of single serum tumor marker detection(χ2=26.12,P<0.05).Conclusion The four kinds of serum tumor markers combined testing not only increases the sensitivity of breast cancer diagnosis,but also improved the specificity of diagnosis of breast cancer.

Objective:To study the expression of E-cadherin and P120ctn in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues, and to investigate their relationship and the relation with clinico-pathological features. Methods Two-step immuno-histochemical staining was applied to detect the expression of E-cadherin and P120ctn in formalin fixation and paraffin-embedded specimens from 56 cases with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 15 cases with normal nasopharyngeal epithelia. Result:The abnormal expression rates of E-cadherin and P120ctn in the 56 cases of NPC tissues were 64.29% and 67.86% respectively, mainly with reduction of expression membrane and with the expression of cytoplasm; 6.67% of the 15 comparative normal cases of nasopharyngitis had abnormal expression of E-cadherin and P120ctn The differences were statistically significant. The abnormal expression rates of E-cadherin and P120ctn in NPC tissues were 71.43% and 85.71% respectively in low differentiated cancer group, which was obviously higher than the rates-42.86% and 36.29%-in high and middle differentiated cancer group. The 80.00% and 85.00% abnormal expression rate in the group with cervical lymph node metastases was higher than that in the group without cervical lymph node metastases(52.78%, 58.33%). The abnormal expression rate of E-cadherin and P120ctn(76. 92%,84.62%) in the third and forth phases was higher than that in the first and second phases (46.66%, 53. 33%). The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were all together 12 co-expression cases of P120ctn and E-cadherin and 28 abnormal co-expression cases in the 56 cases of NPC tissues, which was of obvious consistency and correlation, with the relevant indexes: rs=0.5217 and P<0.01. Conclusion: The abnormal expression of E-cadherin and P120ctn is closely related to the degree of differentiation, clinical stage and cervical lymph node metastasis, and they join in the process of NPC initiation, progression, invasion and metastasis.

Objective To reseach the time point of the highest percentage of neural precursor cells derived from adipose stromal cells (ADSCs) in vitro, and to observe the ultrastructure features of neural precursor cells. Methods Used the β-mercaptoethanol to induce ADSCs to differentiate into neural precursor cells and neuron-like cells. The morphology of the uninductedcells and inducted cells were observed with inverted phase contrast microscope. The expression of nestin which was the marker of neural precursor cell in each group was detected using immunofluorescence staining method. The ultrastructural feature of cells which was induced for 3 hours were observed. Results The highest ratio of positive expression of nestin was 3 hours following induction,with the ratio ( 86.25 ± 4.82) %. There were many protuberance on the cell membrane under transmission electron microscopy.There were plenty of organelles in the neural precursor cells. The neural precursor cells had a large size nucleus,large nucleoplasmic index, much extended chromatin,and less condensed chromatin. The nucleus had double-layer nuclear envelope, more nuclear pore on the nuclear envelope. Conclusion The time point of the highest percentage of neural precursor cells derived from ADSCs is 3 hours,and the ultrastructral feature of induced neural precursor cells confirm that cells at this time point are in a state of split active period.
