Objective:To investigate the expression of IGF-IR and PKC and their clinical significance in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).Method:The expression of IGF-IR and PKC protein were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot in 60 cases of LSCC, 25 cases of adjacent non-tumorous laryngeal epithelium and 10 cases of normal laryngeal epithelium.Result:The positive rate of IGF-IR and PKC expression in LSCC were significantly higher than that in normal laryngeal epithelium and adjacent non-tumorous laryngeal epithelium(P<0.05). IGF-IR positive expression were increased more in cases with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, cervical lymph node metastasis and well differentiation than that in cases with stageⅠ-Ⅱ, non-lymph node metastasis and poor/mediate differentiation, respectively(P<0.05).The positive rate of PKC in LSCC were correlated with clinical stage and cervical lymph node metastasis.There was a correlation between the expression of IGF-IR and PKC in LSCC.Conclusion:The overexpression of IGF-IR and PKC in the laryngeal carcinoma may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of LSCC. It is suggested that detecting the expression of IGF-IR and PKC can be used for early diagnosis and treatment of LSCC.

Objective To explore mechanisms of sustained and transient effects in encoding processes of emotional memory by examining activation of amygdala via functional MRI and to provide evidence for understanding the underlying neural mechanism related to emotional memory disorders further. Methods Twenty two subjects (aged from 20 to 24 years old) participated in the study and mixed blocked/event-related design was adopted. Sixty negatively emotional pictures and sixty neutral scene pictures were used. Functional MRI scanning was performed while subjects were doing encoding tasks. Behavioral data were acquired during retrieval. Correlation analyses of functional MRI data and simples paired t -test of behavioral performance were performed with SPM2 and SPSS13.0 statistical software,respectively. Results Significant differences of behavioral performance ( t= 2.791,P= 0.01 ) was found between emotional (3.15 ± 0.14) and neutral (2.25 ± 0.08 ) pictures. A whole-brain voxelwise correlation analysis between functional MRI and emotional enhancement effect indicated that the transient effect of emotional enhancement of memory involved the left amygdala, left hippocampus and left lateral orbitofrontal cortex, while the sustained effect involved the right amygdala, right hippocampus, right inferior frontal gyrus, right medial and lateral orbitofrontal cortex. Region of interest analysis demonstrated that the sustained effect was related to the right amygdala (r= 0.50, P = 0.019 ), which was different from transient effect ( Z = 1.655, P = 0.049 ),while the transient effect was correlated with the left amygdala (r=0.65, P=0.001 ) ,which was different from sustained effect( Z= 2.512, P=0.006). Conclusion Different neural mechanisms are involved in sustained and transient effects of emotional memory encoding. The right amygdala is responsible for sustained effect and the left amygdala is responsible for transient effect ,respectively. The results confirm and extend the model of the left-transient/right-sustained effect.

Objective To approach the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on mechanically ventilated patients with pulmonary contusion. Methods A prospective randomly controlled trial was conducted. 70 mechanically ventilated patients with pulmonary contusion from January 2010 to December 2012 in the Critical Care Medicine of Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were divided into a control group and a therapy group by the difference in number odd or even,with 35 patients in each group. Based on the same principles of comprehensive treatment,the control group used midazolam,and the therapy group used dexmedetomidine for sedation. The measured parameters included oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6), and extra-vacular lung water index(EVLWI)for both groups on the1st and 5th day. The incidence of delirium,the time of mechanical ventilation,and the incidence of hypotension were observed in both groups. Results Compared with those on the 1st day,TNF-α,IL-6 and EVLWI on the 5th day were decreased significantly in both groups〔the control group TNF-α(ng/L):1.29±0.38 vs. 2.21±0.37,IL-6(ng/L):97.97±28.77 vs. 131.03±41.52,EVLWI (mL/kg):8.25±2.03 vs. 11.96±3.36;the therapy group TNF-α:1.06±0.33 vs. 2.32±0.37,IL-6:82.07±23.35 vs. 134.98±64.25, EVLWI(mL/kg):6.74±1.33 vs. 11.23±2.78, all P<0.05〕, PaO2/FiO2 was increased obviously〔mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),the control group:285.80±30.65 vs. 213.00±33.70,the therapy group:315.00±34.50 vs. 229.50±37.00,both P<0.05〕,TNF-αand IL-6 had no significant difference compared between the therapy group and control group(TNF-α:1.06±0.33 vs. 1.29±0.38,IL-6:82.07±23.35 vs. 97.97±28.77), while EVLWI and PaO2/FiO2 in the therapy group had remarkable differences compared with those of the control group〔EVLWI(mL/kg):6.74±1.33 vs. 8.25±2.03,PaO2/FiO2(mmHg):315.00±34.50 vs. 285.80±30.65,both P<0.05〕. The incidence of delirium(8.57% vs. 22.86%)and time of mechanical ventilation(day:4.10±1.09 vs. 6.88±1.66)in the therapy group were decreased markedly compared with those of the control group,and the incidence of hypotension had no significant difference between treatment or control groups(17.14% vs. 14.29%,P>0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine has protective effect on mechanically ventilated patients with pulmonary contusion, and it is an relatively ideal sedative drug for these patients.

Objective Getting the robust exogenous gene expression vector under the control of porcine insulin promoter, and to lay the foundation for pancreaticβ-cells specific transgene expressing pigs.Method Using porcine insu-lin promoter ( PIP, 1500 bp of the 5′UTR from the porcine INS gene including the first exon and the first intron) to con-struct expression vector, the HindIII restriction site which connected the sequences of PIP and EGFP was designed before ATG, named PIP-HindIII-EGFP.Considering that the different location of restriction site may affect the expression efficien-cy of the transgene, we optimized the expression vector.Firstly the HindIII restriction site was deleted to realize the seam-less connection of PIP and EGFP,the vector was named PIP-EGFP.Also we mutated the 3′intron splicing acceptor site( SA) of the first intron into HindIII restriction site, named as PIP-SA( M)-EGFP.Three different EGFP expression vectors were respectively transfected MIN-6 mouse pancreatic β-cells, pig ear fibroblasts and kidney cells.The transfected cells were cultured for 48 h and harvested for RT-PCR, flow cytometry and Western blot analysis, to analyze and compare the expres-sion efficiency of vectors.Results After transfection,green fluorescence was observed only in MIN-6 mouse pancreaticβ-cells.RT-PCR analysis and product sequencing showed that the three expression vectors did have different stability with in-tron splicing.The PIP-HindIII-EGFP construct and PIP-EGFP vector produced two kinds of mRNA with the first intron spliced and no spliced, indicating the instability of intron splicing.Mutation of the PIP splice site would cause the first in-tron not spliced, while flow cytometry and Western blot displayed that the mutation induced a most efficient expression of the downstream gene.Conclusions A robust and specific β-cells expression vector has been successfully generated by mutating the intron splicing acceptor site of the porcine insulin promoter.It provides the foundation for preparation of pigs with pancreaticβ-cells specifically expressing the transgene.
