Objective To study the role of HMGA2 in the occurrence and the progression of uterine leiomyomas.Methods Fifty cases of uterine leiomyomas who met the inclusion criteria(aged 30-50 years old,free from hormone at least for 6 months before surgery,no other diseases,postoperative pathological diagnosis as uterine leiomyoma) admitted to our hospital from January to July 2003 were studied.The expression of HMGA2 mRNA in uterine leiomyomas and neighbour normal myometrium was detected by ISH.Results HMGA2 mRNA was strongly expressed in 30 cases of uterine leiomyomas but not expressed in neighbour normal myometrium.There was no difference in HMGA2 mRNA between proliferative stage and progestational stage.Conclusion The increased expression of HMGA2 in uterine leiomyomas may be important in the occurrence and the progression of uterine leiomyomas.

Objective To investigate regeneration and repair effect after ChABC,GDNF and Nogo-A Ab combination treatment for experimental spinal cord injury model.Methods Rat (T7-8 )complete spinal cord injury crosscutting animal model was established.The SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal group, sham operation group,simple transection group,A (ChABC)group,G (GDNF)group,N (Nogo-A antibody) group,and AGN (ChABC+GDNF+Nogo-A antibody)group.At 24 w after spinal cord injury,BDA tracer,NF-200,GAP-43,and GFAP immunohistochemistry were evaluated.Results BDA tracer of A group,G group and N group showed dye light,the proximal end of damaged zone showed the blue tracer particles,while damaged zone showed few blue regenerated nerve fibers.AGN group showed visible blue nerve fibers through the damaged zone and the distal segment in the damaged zone;the central zone of injury vacuolar degeneration showed the blue dyed fibers.NF-200 immunohistochemical staining showed NF-positive staining in A group,AGN was stronger than that in control group and simple transection group (P <0.05),AGN group than G group,N group significantly increased (P <0.05).GAP-43 positive staining in A group and AGN treatment group was stronger than in control group and simple transection group (P <0.05),AGN group significantly increased compared with A,G and N groups (P <0.05).GFAP positive staining in control group and simple transection group was stronger than in each treatment group (P <0.05),but A group,G group,N group and AGN group showed no significant differences (P > 0.05 ).SEP wave was detected in control group and AGN group,while the latency time was longer in AGN group than in control group.Conclusion ChABC,GDNF,and anti-Nogo-A antibody used alone or in combination can improve spinal cord injury and nerve cell function,and the joint application could improve regeneration after spinal cord injury than any monotherapy.

This study was designed to assess the effect of a home-bred poly-DL-lactide (PDLLA) rods on experimental fracture healing. An operation was performed to create bilateral ulnar and radial fractures of forearm in 15 rabbits. The right sides were fixed with 2 PDLLA (Mv = 34 x 10(4), 1.6 mm x 1.6 mm x 30 mm) rods, and the contralateral sides were fixed with 2 Kirschner wires to be used as controls. After operation, casts were used for external fixation, and the joint above and the joint below the fracture were immobilized. The casts were removed at the 6th week after operation. The specimens were removed at specific intervals between 2 and 12 weeks. Histologically, the light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy evaluation of the rabbit ulnar and radial fractures fixation revealed that, the fractured bone gradually healed and the PDLLA rods properly fixed on the fracture area during the implanted period. However, results suggest that internal fixation by absorbable material made the course of fracture healing slower than that in the control group, but the osteogenesis appeared to be normal. In the absorbable group, the collagenous fiber was characterized by order and orientation, and calcified normally. In conclusion, this kind of PDLLA rods have an effect on delaying the process of the normal union of fracture and should be applicable to fractures where the tissues are rich in blood supply.

Objective To study the changes of CDH1 gene promoter CpG island methylation and its clinical significance in patients with esophagus and stomach double primary carcinoma(ESDC).Methods The expression of CDH1 gene methylation in cancerous tissues and adjacent cancerous tissues in 18 cases of ESDC were detected using methylation-specific PCR method. Results Eighteen patients were endoscopically diagnosed as ESDC between Jan. 2007 and Sep. 2009 in the 4th Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University. The positive methylation of CDH1 gene in tissues of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)and adjacent cancer were 66.7% and 33. 3%, respectively, with significant difference (χ2= 4. 167, P = 0. 031). Whereas the positive methylation of CDH1 gene in tissues of gastric carcinoma (GA) and adjacent cancer were 77.8% and 44.4%, respectively, without statistical difference (χ2=1.786, P= 0. 180). There was no significant difference (P=0. 500) in positive rate of CDH1 gene methylation between ESCC tissues and GA tissues in same individual with ESDC. For 18 patients with ESDC, consistent change of CDH1 methylation in tissues of two kinds of cancers was found in 16 patients with a total agreement of 88.9 % (positive agreement of 66.7 % and negative agreement of 22. 2%). Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between two groups (P = 0. 005). Conclusion In patients with ESDC, there is a high consistency of CDH1 methylation change, between ESCC and GA,which suggests that two kinds of cancer may have similar risk factors and molecular mechanisms.

Objective To observe the degradation time and the intimal hyperplasia of biodegradable magnesium alloy stent (MPM) implanted in the abdominal aorta of experimental rabbits.Methods A total of 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups (30 d,60 d,90 d and 180 d) with 6 rabbits in each group.In cach rabbit one MPM stent was implanted in the abdominal aorta at the level of one cm below the left renal artery.Reexamination of abdominal aortography with DSA was separately performed at 30,60,90 and 180 d after stent implantation to check the stent condition.The rabbits of each group were sacrificed at the corresponding scheduled day,the stenting segment of aorta of each rabbit was removed and the specimen was sent for microscopic examination.The experimental results were analyzed with SPSS20.0 software.Results All the 24 experimental rabbits survived.During the follow-up period the stent showed gradual degradation changes,and basically complete degradation was not observed until to 180 days.Meanwhile,the intimal hyperplasia reached its peak at 90 days after implantation.The abdominal aorta remained unobstructed during the whole process of degradation.Conclusion The time of complete degradation for MPM stent is 182 days,which is long enough to meet the needs of vascular positive remodeling.

Objective To discuss the application of different types of bronchial arteriography catheter in performing bronchial artery embolization (BAE) for the treatment of hemoptysis.Methods The clinical data of a total of 97 patients with hemoptysis,who received BAE during the period from January 2013 to May 2016,were collected.According to angiographic findings in aspect of the opening and running direction of the arteries causing bleeding,the responsible arteries were divided into 4 types:upward opening,horizontal opening and running upwards,horizontal opening and running downwards,and downward opening.For each responsible artery,appropriate angiography catheter was selected from the following catheters:MIK catheter,left gastric artery catheter,Cobra catheter,Simmon-1 catheter and Simmon-2 catheter.With super-selective catheterization technique the selected suitable catheter was inserted into the responsible artery and angiography was subsequently performed.The effect of the selection of bronchial arteriography catheter in performing BAE for hemoptysis was analyzed.Results A total of 180 responsible arteries were detected in 97 patients.Of the 180 responsible arteries,artery with upward opening was seen in 42,artery with horizontal opening and running upwards was found in 54,artery with horizontal opening and running downwards was observed in 46,and artery with downward opening was detected in 38.The success rates of super-selective catheterization for MIK catheter,left gastric artery catheter,Cobra catheter and Simmon catheter were 83.3％ (35/42),92.6％ (50/54),87.0％ (40/46) and 89.5％ (34/38,including 30 Simmon-1 catheters and 4 Simmon-2 catheters) respectively.After BAE,the responsible arteries were occluded in all patients,and hemoptysis stopped immediately.The recurrence rate at 6 months after BAE was 7.2％ (7/97).Conclusion For the treatment of hemoptysis,BAE is safe and effective.The key point to ensure a successful BAE is that the selection of appropriate catheter should be based on the opening and running direction of the artery causing bleeding.
