Androgen receptors appear to play a significant role in the hepatocarcinogenesis.Androgen receptors are found to be expressed in liver tumor,and the overexpression of androgen receptor is associated with poor prognosis.Recent researches have indicated that androgen receptors regulate various cellular events in liver carcinogenesis through various ways,and androgen receptor could be a potential cancer therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK) as a novel CDK-activating kinase plays a significant role in cell cycle regulation.Related studies confirm that CCRK is overexpressed in various tumors,and is associated with poor prognosis of the patients,which indicates that CCRK takes part in the generation and development of the tumor.

Objective To compare the cooling effect of ice compressing using the ice-bag packed by immobilization bag with that using the traditional way. Methods Choose 80 hyperpyretic patients who need ice compressing randomly. These ones were averagely and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and the control group. Put the ice-bag into the self-designed immobilization bag in observation group and into the wrap as the schoolbook described in the control group, and then place it in the needed position for ice compressing. Results The nursing time was 4.50±2.40 minutes in the observation group while it was 15.52±9.54 minutes in the control group. Otherwise, the cooling effect of the observation group was obviously better than that of the control group. Conclusion Ice compressing with the ice-bag packed by immobilization bag was economical with time and effort, and it improved our nursing's efficiency with the cooling aim fulfilled.

砄bjective: To evaluate the effect on a transpalatal arch on reinforcing anchorage. Methods: 12 cases with ClassⅡ Division 1 malocclusion were selected and treated with a transpalatal arch for reinforcing anchorage. Results: ①The forward displacement of the first maxillary molar (6 Ptmo, 6 So, 6CR So and 6AP So) , the backward displacement(1 Ptmo and 1 So ) and the reduction of the axial inclination (1 NA and 1 SN) of the upper incisors were increased( P 0.05);③The forward displacement of the first maxillary molar was less than one third of the extraction space ( P

0.05). Conclusion: MCM may be useful in root canal therapy to disinfect the infected root canal.

Objective To study the conventional CT and HRCT manifestations of adult mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Methods Conventional CT and HRCT were performed in 16 adult patients with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia proven by serology. The CT images were retrospectively analyzed. Results Areas of ground glass opacity(GGO)were found in 12 cases. GGO showed lobular or patchy distribution in 9 cases. Air space consolidation was observed in 8 cases,"tree in bud" sign in 9,thickening of the interlobular septa in 3,and thickening of bronchovascular bundle in 1. 15 cases had two or more findings simultaneously. Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia has some characteristic CT findings, which can help to distinguish it from bacterial pneumonia.

Objective To study the application of video-mediastinoscopy in the preoperative staging of lung cancer and the diagnosis and treatment of mediastinal tumors or malignant pleural effusion.Methods Video-mediastinoscopy was performed in 128 cases under general anesthesia and single lumen endotracheal intubation,including 48 cases of cervical mediastinoscopy,33 cases of parasternal mediastinoscopy,and 47 cases of intercostal mediastinoscopy.Results The diagnosis was clarified under video-mediastinoscopy in 125 cases,including 38 cases of adenocarcinoma,33 cases of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma,9 cases of tuberculosis,8 cases of lymph node inflammation,7 cases of small cell carcinoma,6 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the thymus,5 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,4 cases of neuroblastoma,4 cases of thymoma,3 cases of pleural mesothelioma,2 cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma,2 cases of neurilemmoma,1 case of sarcoidosis,1 case of hyperplasia of thymus gland,1 case of carcinoid,and 1 case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor.In 1 case,the mediastinal lymph nodes were diagnosed as reactive hyperplasia by video-mediastinoscopy,and then were confirmed as squamous cell carcinoma by postoperative pathological examination.Two cases were confirmatively diagnosed as having lung cancer in the left inferior lobe by brochoscopy, and video-mediastinoscopy revealed the metastasis to right paratracheal lymph nodes.Complications included 1 case of pneumothorax,1 case of hemorrhage,2 cases of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis,and 2 cases of superficial incision infection. Conclusions Video-mediastinoscopy is not only an important examination for preoperative staging of lung cancer and diagnosis of mediastinal diseases,but also a surgical treatment for mediastinal tumors and malignant pleural effusion.

Objective The modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS) is considered a low-risk management option for palliation in patients with severely cyanotic heart anomalies in advanced heart centers in western countries.But the morbidity and mortality associated with MBTS remains challenge in developing countries.Methods 106 patients with severely cyanotic complex heart anomalies underwent 110 modified Blalock-Taussig shunts(B-T shunts) between October 2000 and August 2012.The mean age was (3.8 ± 1.1) months (1 day-37.2 months).The mean weight of the babies was (5.0 ± 2.1) kg (2.3 kg-12.0 k g).The cardiac anatomy was as follows:pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum in 25,pulmonary atresia with ventricular septum defects in 45,tricuspid atresia in 11,tetralogy of Fallot in 7,complex single ventricle physiology in 18.All patients were deeply cyanotic,and preoperative prostaglandin E1 was needed in 78 patients to ensure ductus patent and maintain oxygen saturations prior to the shunt operation.The shunts were accomplished with 3.0 mm polytetrafluoroethylene grafts in 8 patients,3.5 mm in 11,4 mm in 65,5mm in 26.Results The duration of mechanical ventilation was 4 hours-7 days,cardiac intensive care unit stay was 1-12 days,hospital stay after operation was 1-18 days.There were 3 deaths (2.6％),immediate post-operative shunt block in 1,severe hypoxidosis in 1 and heart failure in 1.Oxygen saturation increased from 68.5％ preoperatively to 79.2％ postoperatively.Four patients had shunt block,additional shunt was created respectively.There was 2 late death.Follow-up of 94 patients revealed satisfactory systemic oxygen saturation of 0.81 ± 0.10 (0.63-0.92).86 cases received further operations,including 7 in TOF radical operation,31 in Rastelli,25 in Glenn,18 in Fontan.Conclusion With an encouraging early shunt patent rate and oxygen saturation increasing,we can now adopt MBTS as an alternative in patients with severely cyanotic heart anomalies.Modified B-T shunt is a good palliation for patients with cyanoti cheart anomalies,which can increase pulmonary blood flow.Excellent surgical skills and perioperative treatment contribute to good operation results,and to low morbidity and low mortality.

strain 49 #(BD-4),which had the highest flocculating activity among 752 strains,was picked out.The fermentation condi tions and the flocculating influence factors were studied.By testing,this cult ure broth had a much more ability to get rid of suspended materials in water and to decolourize the high-density dyestuff wastewater. In laboratory scale,bioflocculant was roughly extracted from culture broth by t he technological process,water extraction-organic solvent sediment-vacuum dry .The suitable work conditions of each step were set up through the tests.0 198 5g dry product was obtained from 100mL culture broth.

Objective To study the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on knee hyperextension in patients withstroke. Methods 60 patients with stroke were divided into treatment and control groups (30 cases each group). Both groups accepted medicineand routine rehabilitation, while the treatment group accepted PNF of knee additionally. Results The incidence of knee hyperextensionwas 7 (23.3%) in treatment group and 18 (60.0%) in control group (P<0.01) 3 months after treatment. The timed "up & go" improved morein the treatment group than in the control (P<0.01). Conclusion PNF of the knee at early stage of stroke can prevent knee hyperextensionand improve the walking.
