Objective To explore the clinical features of primary cervical adenocarcinoma in order to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with primary cervical adenocarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.Results The age was 18-75 (53.23 ± 11.37) years old and 20 (80％,20/25) patients was postmenopause.The gynecologic examination showed that cervical shape was irregular,cervical canals pachynsis,hardening,extension and widen.The gross type included 1 case of erosio lump type,2 cases of fungating type,17 cases of nodus and induration ulcer type,5 cases of cervical canals type.Twenty-two patients received extensive hysterectomy and 2 patients received sub-extensive excision,1 patient was forbiddened and was only received chemical therapy for the abdominal extensively adhesions with little ascites.Twenty-three patients were performed surgery and extracorporeal irradiation or high to midst dose rate after loading program radiotherapy; twelve of them were performed chemoradiation,but eleven patients couldn' t tolerable the chemical side effects and only took radiotherapy.The 5-year survival rate was 76％ (19/25).The poorest prognostic patients were the stage Ⅳ women,which died after 3 months and 9 months respectively from first visit the doctor.The mass diameter and the early FIGO stage were correlated with prognosis (P ＜0.05).But age,gross type,pathological type,treated methods had no correlation with prognosis (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Cervical adenocarcinoma would be predilection postmenopause female.The common signs include cervical shape irregular,cervical canals pachynsis,hardening,extension and widen.The 5-year survival rate of the patients who received operation combined modality therapy in early stage and with small mass size is higher.The prognosis would be poor relatively in late FIGO stage and mass diameter over 4 cm.So,early discovery,early diagnosis and early treatment would be the key ways to improve 5-year survival rate.

Objective To observe the concentration of the inflammatory cytokines in vitreous of severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) after intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IVR).Methods A total of 80 PDR patients (80 eyes) were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomly divided into vitrectomy group (group A) and IVR combined with vitrectomy group (group B),40 eyes in each group.The differences of sex(x2=0.05),age (t=0.59),duration of diabetes (t=0.36),HbA1c (t=0.13) and intraocular pressure (F=0.81) between two groups were not significant (P＞0.05).The eyes in group B received 0.5 mg (0.05 ml) ranibizumab injection at 7 days before operation.The vitreous samples (0.4 ml)were obtained before operation.The concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),interleukin (IL)-6,IL-8,intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.Results The concentration of VEGF and ICAM-1 were (10.70±3.60),(224.64±90.32) pg/L in group B and (72.38±23.59),(665.61±203.34)pg/L in group A.The differences of VEGF and ICAM-1 concentration between two groups was significant (t=16.34,12.53 ; P＜ 0.001).The concentration of IL-6 and IL-8 were (210.64 ± 80.27),(156.00±57.74) pg/L in group B and (45.78±33.82),(41.07±13.82) pg/L in group A.The differences of IL-6 and IL-8 concentration between two groups was significant (t=11.97,12.24; P＜0.001).There was no difference of CTGF concentration between two groups (t=1.39,P=0.17).The CTGF/VEGF in group B was higher than that in group A (t=14.75,P＜0.001).Conclusions One week after IVR,the concentration of VEGF and ICAM-1 are decreased,while IL-6 and IL-8 increased.There is no obvious change in CTGF,but CTGF/VEGF is increased.

Objective To investigate the relationship between ?-catenin gene expression and the mechanism of tumorigenesis, development and metastasis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods RT-PCR method was used to detect the mRNA expression of ?-catenin in normal human nasopharyngeal tissues and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Results The results showed that ?-catenin expression in 11 out of 15 nasopharyngeal carcinoma specimens was decreased (73.3%). Conclusion The abnormal expression of ?-catenin changed in the normal adhesive function and the signal transduction pathway of the cell in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma, indicating that the expression level of ?-catenin was a biological marker of tumorigenesis and development of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the abnormality of CD4 and CD8 subsets of T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Methods The CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes from 20 SLE patients and 10 healthy controls were separated using magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS). Results The numbers of CD4 + T cells in the peripheral blood and CD4 +/CD8 + ratio of SLE patients were significantly lower than those in healthy volunteers(CD4,P=0.001;CD4/CD8 ratio,P=0.046). Conclusion There exist abnormalities in the CD4 and CD8 subsets of T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of SLE,especially the decreased numbers of CD4 + T cells.

005), while iron overload occurred in 8 of 57 cases of ?-thalassemia (14.0%) and 89 out of 386 cases of ?-thalassemia (23.1%). Although the occurrence rate of iron overload in ?-thalassemia appeared higher than that in ?-thalassemia, no significant difference existed. Homozygote ?-thalassemia was prone to iron overload, followed by non-deletion HbH diseases, at the occurrence rate of 79.2% and 27.3% respectively. Iron deficiency was inclined to be associated with silent ?-thalassemia at the occurrence rate of 45.5%, followed by heterozygote ?-thalassemia (30.3%). Conclusion Both iron overload and iron deficiency can be found in thalassemia. Therefore, special treatments should be carried out according to given cases.

Objective To explore the expression of SLAM gene in the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from SLE patients.Method The CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from peripheral blood of 20 SLE patients and 10 healthy blood donors were separated using magnetic cell sorting system(MACS).We detected the expression of SLAM mRNA in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by RT-PCR.Results The CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from SLE patients showed significantly higher SLAM expression than those from healthy blood donors.Conclusion The SLAM signal pathway may play an important role in contributing to the abnormal activation of T cells in SLE patients.

Objective To explore the expression of caspase-3 and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptors in the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)patients. Methods The CD4+ and CD8+T cells from peripheral blood of 20 SLE patients and 10 healthy volunteers were separated using magnetic cell sorting system (MACS), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to test the expression of caspase-3 and TRAIL receptors in CD4+ and CD8+T cells of SLE patients and healthy volunteers. Results The CD8+T cells from SLE patients had significantly higher caspase-3 (P=0.003) and TRAIL-R2 (P=0.024) expression than those from healthy volunteers. Conclusion The TRAIL-R2 signal pathway may be a possible important pathway to the apoptosis of T cells in SLE patients.

Objective:To explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters combined with serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and microRNA-1203 (miR-1203) in the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its relationship with efficacy.Methods:From October 2017 to October 2019, 100 patients with HCC in Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the observation group. 92 patients with benign liver tumor and 102 healthy people were randomly selected as the control group and normal control group. The clinicopathological features, MRI parameters [hepatic artery perfusion index (HPI), volume transfer constant (K trans)], serum MIF and miR-1203 levels were compared among the three groups; the value of MRI parameters, serum MIF and miR-1203 in single and combined diagnosis of HCC was explored; the relationship between each index and curative effect of HCC patients was analyzed. Results:The levels of HPI, K trans, serum MIF and miR-1203 in observation group were higher than those in control group and normal control group ( P<0.05); There were significant differences in HPI, K trans, serum MIF and miR-1203 levels among patients with different tumor length, differentiation degree, Child Pugh grade and distant metastasis in the observation group ( P<0.05). Among HPI, K trans and serum MIF, miR-1203, the specificity of HPI and K trans for diagnosis of HCC were the largest (94.57%), and the sensitivity of K trans for diagnosis of HCC was the largest (75.00%); the area under the curve (AUC) of the combined diagnosis of HCC was 0.879, which was greater than the AUC of the single diagnosis of HPI, K trans and serum MIF, miR-1203 (0.753, 0.793, 0.792, 0.809); the optimal sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis were 79.00% and 86.96%, respectively; the levels of HPI, K trans, serum MIF, and miR-1203 in effective patients in the observation group were lower than those in the ineffective patients after treatment ( P<0.05); the clinical efficacy of HCC patients were significantly correlated with the levels of HPI, K trans, serum MIF and miR-1203 ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The MRI parameters HPI, K trans and serum MIF, miR-1203 levels in patients with HCC increased significantly, which has high application value in assisting clinical diagnosis of HCC, and is closely related to the clinical efficacy of patients, and has great development potential in efficacy evaluation.

OBJECTIVE: To study the therapeutic effects of the specific immunotherapy (SIT) on allergic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis combined bronchial asthma. METHED: All patients were classified into allergic rhinitis group (AR group) with 32 patients and allergic rhinitis combined bronchial asthma group (AR+BA group) with 32 patients. Another health control group with 32 cases was designed as well. The allergens,symptom scores and therapeutic effects of the former two-group patients were analysis, and the serums of all three-group cases were extracted to evaluate the specific Immunoglobin E(sIgE), Interleukin-4 (IL-4). The SPSS13. 0 package was applied to conduct t-test and chi-square test, and the difference of P<0. 05 was regarded as statistical significance. RESULT: The main allergens of 64 patients were dermatophagoides farinae and dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. The improvement of symptom scores before and after SIT was statistical significant with P<0. 05. Although total effective rate reached 100% , AR group was superior than AR+BA group in term of the efficacy comparison, and P<0. 05 indicated the statistical significance. The serum sIgE, IL-4 values of three groups were brought into comparison, and P<0. 05 indicated the statistical significance of the difference. CONCLUSION The SIT on the AR, AR+BA is a safe and effective treatment, but different disease responds diversely. The long-term treatment course is recommended.
