At present the most common colorimetry for the activity determination of the peroxidase ( POD) is based on the detection of the absorbance of product at 470 nm in a reaction system of the H2 O2/POD/guaiacol ( GA) , but the shortcoming of the method is that the formed product is not stable and there is the serious adsorption phenomenon on the cell. To solve this problem, a new method was established for accurate determination of POD activity based on the fluorescent feature of GA. By using standard solutions of horseradish peroxidase as the test samples and under these optimum conditions such as 0. 5 mmol/L of GA, 0. 5 mmol/L of H2 O2 , pH 6, 0. 05 mol/L of phosphate buffer solution and the reaction temperature of 20℃, the sample volume was only consumed 20 microlitre at a time, the linear response range was 500-60000 U/L ( r=0 . 9993 ) , the detection limit was 385 U/L and relative standard deviation was ≤2 . 4% ( n=11 ) . The comparisons for the determination results of the POD activity in the white radish’s extraction solutions were conducted among our method (9714±132 U/L) and the colorimetric method (9926±352 U/L) as well as the recirculating-catalytic flow analysis ( 9608±456 U/L ) . The results showed that the mutual consistency is better.

Familial non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is de fi ned as the presence of two or more affected fi rst-degree relatives with non-medullary thyroid cancers without other known familial syndromes. FNMTC is one of the most inheritable forms of all cancers, with a high risk of a first-degree relative developing the disease. Compared with sporadic non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (NMTC), FNMTC presents at a younger age and is associated with a higher incidence of multifocal disease and metastasis. This in-creased aggressiveness has been hypothesized to translate into higher recurrence rates and decreased survival of patients with FNMTC. The genes involved in the pathogenesis of FNMTC are yet to be elucidated, although some recent studies identified several predisposi-tion loci with a high degree of genetic heterogeneity. Since 2005, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been developing as rapid, high-throughput, and cost-effective approaches to fulfill medical sciences and research demands. With the use of NGS, the un-derlying causative genes can be directly distinguished via systematic filtering, through which the identified gene variants are verified for novelty and functionality.

Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) has been a mainstay in the management of coronary artery disease since its introduction in the late 1970s.Bare-metal stents and,more recently,first-generation drug-eluting stents(DES),such as sirolimus-eluting(Cypher) and paclitaxel-eluting stents(Taxus),have further improved results of percutaneous coronary intervention by improving early results and reducing the risk of restenosis.There are currently debates on the safety of these first-generation DES,given the potential for late stent thrombosis which is a first-generation drug-eluting stent of the largest security issue,especially after discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy.Next-generation DES such as everolimus-eluting stents(Xience V) holds the promise of superior anti-restenosis efficacy as well as long-term safety.This review makes a presentation of the evidence-based clinical research according to everolimus-eluting stents(Xience Ⅴ).

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between DNA aneuploidy and proliferative activity and the clinical and pathologic features.MethodsDNA ploidy and cell cycle analysis were analyzed in 119 colorectal fresh cancer apecimens using flow Cytometry and prospectively compared with the CEA in serum,tumor size,tumor morphology,lymph node metastases,Dukes' Classfication,histologic type and grade in colorectal cancer.ResultsThere was no relation between serum CEA and DNA aneuploidy and proliferative activity. Aneuploidy was detected at 56.5% in ulcerating carcinoma, which was significantly higher than 14.7% in bulge carcinoma (P<0.01). Aneuploidy was detected at 64.7% in middle and lower grade carcinoma, which was significantly higher than 36.5% of high grade carcinoma (P<0.01). No significant differences in aneuploidy were observed with respect to tumor size, lymph node metastases, Dukes' classfication,tumor histologic type.ConclusionsDNA aneuploidy of cancer cell can express the degree of malignancy of colorectal cancer. But proliferative activity does not relate to all the clinical and pathologic features. CEA in serum does not relate to DNA aneuploidy and proliferative activity.

Objective To elucidate the role of the Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway in regulating the phenotypic transformation of aortic valvular myofibroblasts to osteoblast-like cells.Methods Cultured primary valvular myofibroblastes isolated from porcine aortic valve leaflets were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) for different lengths of time:24 h,48 h and 72 h.The Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor Dickkopf-1 (DDK-1) was co-incubated with ox-LDL for 72 h.After cells harvest,the expression of myofibroblastic or osteoblast-like phenotype related markers,a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2),alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and corebinding factora-1 (Cbfα 1),was detected by Western blotting.The expression and sub cellular localization of β3-catenin was assessed by immunocytochemistry.Changes of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and the transformation of aortic valvular myofibroblast to osteoblast-like cells were monitored.Results BMP2,ALP and Cbfa 1 protein expression was not or barely detectable in the control group.However,after ox-LDL treatment,the expression of α SMA,BMP2,ALP and Cbfa 1 increased significantly (each P＜0.01) in a time-dependent manner (each P＜0.05).Besides,ox-LDL was also able to up-regulate the protein expression of β-catenin in a time-dependent manner (P＜0.05) and promoted its nuclear translocation.After DKK-1 treatment,the protein expression of β3 catenin and osteogenesis related markers was down regulated (P＜0.05).Conclusions The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may play a crucial role in regulating the transformation of aortic valvular myofibroblasts to an osteoblast like phenotype.

Objective To evaluate the role and technical advantages of CT in 125Ⅰseed implantation in the treatment of tumors. Methods CT-guided 125Ⅰ seed implantation in 45 cases of cancer patients treated 57 times in 51 lesions,CT were used to evaluate the progress of lesions after 125Ⅰ seed implantation 1,2,6 months. Results All procedures were once successful and the total effective rate was 74.5% without any serious complications. Fifty CT examinations immediately after implantation showed satisfactorily seeds distribution but seven cases less satisfactorily that include particles overlap,the location is too close to the lesion edge,the larger the radiation cold spots,etc. Follow-up CT reexamination in 1,2 and 6 months demonstrated that CT examinations showed satisfactorily seeds distribution but accurate seeds number,which could be solved by combined with MPR images and the positioning piece. Conclusions CT-guided 125Ⅰ seed implantation treatment of tumors was a safe,reliable and effective minimally invasive treatment. CT in the preoperative treatment of seed implants planning,precise intraoperative guidance,quality assurance and efficacy of postoperative assessment had a greater role and application advantages.

Objective To investigate the expression of p40 (ANp63),p504s and their diagnostic value in benign and malignant lesions of the prostate,also to compare with the expression of p63.Methods The expression of p40 (ANp63),p63 and p504s in 92 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 67 cases of prostatic carcinoma were detected by immunohistochemical MaxVision method.Results p40 and p63 were positive in 95.7 ％ (88/92) and 87.0 ％ (80/92) of benign prostatic hyperplasia,and the intermittent and low expression in p63 were more common than those in p40.The positive expression rate of p40 was obviously higher than that of p63 in benign prostatic hyperplasia (x2 =4.381,P ＜ 0.05).Both p40 and p63 showed no expression in prostatic carcinoma,but p63 appeared with abnormal cytoplasmic staining in many cases of cancer cells,which was 17.9 ％ (12/67).The specificity of combined detection of p40 and p504s in the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate carcinoma was as high as 100 ％.Conclusion p40 is more sensitive than p63 in prostate basal cells.Combined detection of p40 and p504s is valuable to distinguish poorly differentiated benign prostatic hyperplasia from prostatic carcinoma.
