Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;30(3):279-282
Objective: To investigate the distribution of different hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to analyze the clinical laboratory examination outcomes and pathological characteristics of CHB and HCC by infection with different HBV genotypes. Methods: Totally 89 patients with CHB and 86 patients with HCC were randomly chosen for this study. HBV genotypes were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) combined with double immunofluorescence staining TaqMan MGB probes. The general information and the laboratory and pathological data of patients were obtained by reviewing of the clinical documentation of patients. Statistical software SPSS10.0 was used to for statistical analyses. A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: HBV B was dominant in the CHB patients in our group, accounting for 78.65%; the mixed B and C type accounted for 3.37%. HCC patients in our group were dominated by C type (70.93%). There were no other genotypes other than B and C in our group, and there was significant different between their frequency in our group (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the clinical experimental and pathological parameters in CHB patients with different HBV subtypes. In HCC patients, those with genotype C had higher positive rate of HBV e antigen than those with genotype B(P<0.05). HCC patients infected with HBV genotype B had larger turner size (P<0.05). No associations were found between HBV genotypes with TNM stage, vascular invasion, or metastasis. Conclusion: Patients with CHB are dominantly infected with genotype B in our group. HBV genotype C and positive HBV e antigen are risk factors of HCC. Antiviral therapy and promoting e antigen seroconversion may reduce the incidence of HCC. HBV genotype B might be associated with larger tumor size.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM). Methods:The clinical data of 91 lung cancer patients with ALNM who were treated in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The relevance of the sites of the tumor site, local lymph node, and ax-illary lymph node was checked by contingency table. Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by a log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards model was applied to analyze the prognostic factors. Results:The proportion of lung cancer pa-tients with ALNM was 0.63%, and the patients were often presented with adenocarcinoma, peripheral tumor type, pleura invasion with pleural effusion, or chest wall invasion. A relationship between tumor sites, local lymph node sites, and axillary lymph node sites was observed. The median survival time of lung cancer patients with ALNM was 19.02 months, and the two-year survival rate is 62.64%. Patients identified with ALNM at the initial diagnosis reported poor prognosis (P=0.002). Cox regression analysis showed that the relative risk of death in patients with ALNM at initial diagnosis was elevated 2.18 times (95%CI:1.330?3.572, P=0.003). Conclu-sion:ALNM in lung cancer is rare, and it may involve through direct chest wall invasion and spread from supraclavicular and mediasti-nal lymph node metastasis or systemic origin. Patients detected with ALNM at the initial diagnosis indicated poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate if the administration of CORM-2 can provide protection against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI).Method Murine renal ischemia was induced by clamping left renal pedicles for 40 min with vascular micro damps at 32 C,then the contralateral kidney was removed.CORM-2 or vehicle was administered via intravenous infusion 1 h before the onset of ischemia.The blood plasma and renal samples were obtained at 24 h after reperfusion to assess renal function and cellular injury.Plasma Cr and BUN levels,HE and TUNEL were performed to estimate the magnitude of renal damage.Kidneys were retrieved from indicated animals at various time points after renal IRI,and the sections were prepared for histological evaluation.MPO staining procedures were performed to assess the neutrophils infiltration in the renal IRI.Besides,Immunofluorescent stain of TNF-α was performed on the kidneys which were retrieved from indicated animals to determine the production of inflammatory mediators in renal I/R.Results The plasma Cr and BUN were significantly increased at 24 h after reperfusion in IRI control mice,and CORM-2 treatment could markedly diminish the increase of plasma Cr and BUN in mice subjected to I/R.In parallel,histological analysis demonstrated that CORM2 treatment markedly reduced apoptosis of the renal tubular epithelium cells and hemorrhage.IRI caused marked infiltration and accumulation of the MPO-positive neutrophils in renal interstitium.Administration of CORM-2 before ischemia dramatically inhibited neutrophils infiltration as compared with IRI or iCORM-2 group.Furthermore,we confirmed that CORM-2 markedly decreased production of TNF-α.Conclusion Carbon monoxidereleasing molecule CORM-2 could ameliorate inflammation to protect against the renal IRI in mice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of transplanted renal artery stenosis (TRAS)-induced renal dysfunction and hypertension. Methods Between July 1998 and January 2007, PTA was performed on 16 patients with RTAS. Color Doppler uhrasonography preceded the intra-arterial angiographic investigation,with false-negative results in 18. 75 % of patients. Sixteen cases of TRAS were examined at 1 st week,6th month and 13 years after PTA. Hypertension improvement was defined as mean arterial pressure decrease of at least 15 % from the pre-PTA value. Graft function was evaluated by SCr levels, and the improvement was defined as a 20% change. Results Angioplasty was technically feasible in 100 %.Sixteen patients with RTAS were cured clinically. During the follow-up period, graft function was improved in 81.25 %, 68. 75 %, 62. 5 %, 56. 25 %, 50 % of patients respectively at 1st week, 6th month and 1-3 years after PTA. The blood pressure was decreased in 62. 5%, 75 %, 75 %,56. 25 %, 50 % of patients respectively, but no patient remained hypotensor medication free.Conclusion PTA improved renal dysfunction and hypertension induced by TRAS, and it is a safe and effective treatment for TRAS.

AIM: To investigate the alterations of tear film after sutureless large incision manual cataract extraction (SLIMCE). METHODS: Sixty-eight SLIMCE operation eyes were studied with slit-limp microscope, break- up time (BUT), SchirmmerⅠtest (SⅠt),and fluorescence(FL) to observe the alterations of tear film at different time points in postoperation. Impression cytology and microphoto-analyses technique were also applied to observe the goblet cells at different time points postoperation(7,14,30,60,90 days). RESULTS: Subjective complaint of dry eye within 90 days after the operations were significantly increased compare with preoperations(5-27,23,19,16,13; 2-16,14,8,6,3). The schirmmer Ⅰ test were greatly increased in 14 days postoperation(10.1±4.5;15.0±4.7,13.8±5.7),the mean scores of fluorescence increased (0-17,9,5;0-8,3,1) and the mean break-up time decreased in 30 days post-operation(10.3±2.2;5.5±2.3,7.0±2.4,7.9±2.2) (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: SLIMCE operation have effect on the stability of tear film.
