Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(8):673-676
Efforts are being made to build up platforms to support basic research of ophthalmology by organizing capable staff,adequate instruments,technical assistance,and by applying practical evaluation and cultivating healthy cultural environment.While significant progress has been achieved with scientific publications and international academic exchanges,the ophthalmology society still has a long way to go to enhance the basic research in the field of eye science.Utilization of modern biomedical tools,technologies and strategies will undoubtedly further improve the efficacy and production in the area of basic research of ophthalmology in this country.

Objective To study the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in human gastric cancer and evaluate their effects on carcinogenesis,cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma,as well as clinical significance.Methods The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 were detected by immunohistochemical method (streptavidin-peroxidase) in the tissues of 75 primary gastric carcinomas and 15 gastric ulcers.Results The positive expression rate of DCR3 in gastric carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues,and the expression of PTEN and Fas was obviously lower than that in normal tissues (P<0.01).The expression of DCR3 was negatively correlated with Fas and PTEN respectively (r=-0.720,P<0.001; r=-0.336,P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between PTEN and Fas.The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis,clinical stage,histological differentiation grade and tumor depth of gastric cancer,but not related to sex,age and tumor size (P>0.05).Conclusion PTEN,DCR3 and Fas have mutual restrictive relationships in the process of invasion and metastasis in gastric cancer.Detecting the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in gastric cancer is helpful to judge the malignant biological behavior of gastric cancer at a different angle,which may be considered as reliability index in clinic diagnosis,judging curative effect and monitoring the prognosis of gastric carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To study the changes of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and beta 2-microglobulin levels before and after radiotherapy in 58 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and to elucidate the clinical significance of VEGF and beta 2-microglobulin test before radiotherapy. METHODS: Serum VEGF level was measured by sandwich ELISA in 58 patients with NPC and 24 healthy individuals, and the serum beta 2-microglobulin was assayed with time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay. RESULTS: The serum VEGF level in patients with NPC was (174.0+/-130.0) ng/L, higher than (134.1+/-66.6) ng/L of the healthy subjects, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The serum VEGF level was higher in T4 and IV a patients with NPC. No significant differences in the levels of serum VEGF were found among various N classifications in the patients with NPC. Patients with the serum VEGF level higher than 267.3 ng/L (mean+2 s of the serum VEGF level in the healthy individuals) had a shorter metastasis-free survival time (P<0.05). Although the patients with high beta 2-microglobulin level had a shorter survival time, the difference was not significant. CONCLUSION: The NPC patients with high serum VEGF level have a poor prognosis.

Objective A considerable percentage of gallbladder cancers are accompanied by su-perficial cancer spread adjacent to the main tumor. Therefore, cholecystectomy for early gallbladder cancer must be performed carefully to avoid leaving cancer cells at the surgical margins. Methods Thirty-six patients with gallbladder cancer invading no more than perimuscular connective tissue un-derwent surgical resection at our medical center. After operation, the resected specimens were investi-gated macroscopically and microscopically to clarify the clinicopathological features and the risk factors of superficial cancer spread. Results Seventy percent of all cases (25 cases) had superficial cancer spread. Comparison between the cases having superficial cancer spread and the cases without it re-vealed that the macroscopic morphology of the primary tumor and the depth of cancer invasion in the gallbladder wall were significantly different between the two groups. Furthermore, multivariate analy-sis indicated that 'superficial raised type' in macroscopic morphology was an independent predictive factor for having superficial cancer spread. Superficial cancer spread from the main tumor located in the neck of the gallbladder grew predominantly in the direction of the fundus. More advanced gallbladder cases were accompanied by more extensive superficial spread. Conclusion Superficial cancer spread is frequently observed adjacent to the gallbladder cancer, especially in the superficial raised type. A negative margin should be confirmed by intraoperative frozen section while performing cholecystectomy.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (5 FU), and folinic acid (FA) combination in treatment of patients with metastatic or advanced gastric cancer,we used oxaliplatin 130 mg/m 2 (2 hour intravenous infusion,1 d)and FA 200 mg/m 2 (2 hour intravenous infusion,1 to 5 d) followed by 5 FU 500 mg/m 2 (4 hour continuous infusion,1 to 5 d) every 3 weeks. Efficacy of treatment was evaluated after 3 cycles and the responders were confirmed 4 weeks later. In 26 case evaluated, patial release was achieved in 11 cases, stablized in 9 cases, progressed in 6 cases. The overall response rate was 42.3%. The main adverse effects were gastrointestinal tract toxicity, neurosensory toxicity and bone marrow suppression. This trail suggested that the short term curative effect of this regimen was similar to those of others and showed good efficacy and an acceptable safety profile. It is a new option for the treatment of metastatic and advanced gastric cancer.

In order to cultivate advanced person with ability,we should teach students some theoretics and more practical skill during microbiology teaching. after we using the measures “examining on theoretics and practical skill that must be mastering in the lesson”. Students had been more interested in microbiology,and advanced of knowledge. So “examining on theoretics and practical skill that must be mastering in the lesson” is better method in teaching of Microbiology in Occupation technique college.

0.05). CONCLUSION The secar of oropharynx can be regarded as a predictive index for OSAHS severity and guideline for operation, but the change of secar after operation can not be used as a predicitive index for therapeutic effectiveness.

Objective To evaluate the impact of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) on the prognosis of unsuspectedgallbladder cancer(GC).Methods A retrospective clinicopathologic study was performed on 21 patients with unsuapective GC,but diagnosed gallbladder cancer postoperatively by pathology.Of which,11patients underwent LC and 10 patients underwent open cholecystectomy(OC),The correlation was evaluatedbetween cumulative survival rates and the following 5 prognostic factors:histopathological grade,pathologic stage,occurrence of bile spillage,type of cholecystectomy(LC or OC),and additional surgical treatments.Results Eight patients(73%) after LC and 7 patients(70%) after OC had cancer recurrence,and the difference was of no statistical significance(P=0.86).There were no recurrences of cancer in the abdominal wall after either LC or OC.Survival rate was statistically correlated to tumor stage(P=0.006),and to the occurrence of bile spillage(P=0.003).Survival rate did not differ according to whether the operation was carried out using LC or OC(P=0.74).Conclusions LC does not worsen the prognosis of unsuspected gallbladder cancer.
