OBJECTIVE: To research the expression of alternative splicing segment of fibronectin-IIIcs in incised wound of skin, to offer the experimental data for early injury time judgement. METHODS: Using in situ hybridization with DIG-labeled anti-sense RNA probe, the expression of FN-IIIcs domain was detected in both human and rat skin incised wound. RESULTS: (1) The expression of FN-IIIcs improved from the time of 30 min after injury, reached peak at 6 h and then reduced gradually. (2) The positive expression cells were mainly distributed in hair follicles, sebaceous glands and endothelium, however, in human beings they were basement cells of epidermis. CONCLUSION The expression of FN-IIIcs domain would be a supposed useful criteria for early injury time judgement.

A 65 years old woman presented with indurative buccal swelling without ulceration. The result of the incisional biopsy disclosed as "plasmacytoma", and a series of radiographic and laboratory tests were rendered to find out if it involved multiorgan or not. Based on those studies, we finally diagnosed the disease as multiple myeloma and planned surgical excision followed by systemic chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effort between antisense RNA probe and random primed DNA probe. METHODS: The in situ hybridization was conducted on parafin section from wounding model of rat skin. RESULTS: Although both probes appeared positive staining, RNA probes was superior to DNA probes in terms of depth of staining and background. CONCLUSION RNA probe showed more satisfactorily on ISH.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the signification of CTnI in acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: The model of myocardial infarction was established by ligating the left ventricle branch. Immunohistochemistry and image analysis were used to detect the change of CTnI in the model, and The sensitivity of immunohistochemistry and HE coloration were also compared. RESULTS: The acute myocardial infarction tissue showed obvious depletion of CTnI, there was no characterization of myocardial infarction in HE coloration. CONCLUSION CTnI is sensitive to diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between the DNA degradation in cells and postmortem interval. METHODS: Tissue pieces of the heart, liver, spleen and kidney of one corpse (male, 54 years old, died of mechanical injury, PMI of 6h) were obtained in 6, 12, 24, 48 h after death, fixed in Carnoy fluid, and then paraffin sections were prepared, stained with Feulgen and analyzed by Image analysis technology (IAT). Meanwhile the single-cell suspension of tissues of the man was prepared and inspected by FCM after PI stained. RESULTS: The amount of DNA of in heart, liver and kidney of human had a repid degraded in first 6 hours after death, that in the spleen showed a better relationship between DNA degradation and PMI. The results was verified by FCM and IAT. CONCLUSION The degradation of DNA of and human tissues shows a well relationship with PMI, especially in spleen. It is useful in estimation of PMI.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between the expression of EIIIA+ fibronectin in incised wound of rat's skin and injury time. METHODS: The wounding model was established by cutting the dorsal skin of 48 adult SD rats. The rats were sacrificed at the pre-set injury time as immediately, 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 8 h. The skin samples were taken at the margin of wound. The expression of the EIIIA? fibronectin was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting and the relationship be- tween its expression and injury time was observed. Results The expression of EIIIA+ fibronectin was not observed immediately. The basal cell of skin began to show positive expression 0.5 h after injury. With the extension of injury time, positive staining became stronger. The value of relative optical density was gradually increased with prolonged injury time by the Western blotting analysis. CONCLUSION The expression of EIIIA+ fibronectin could be used for estimation of injury time in the early stage of skin injury.

A false aneurysms of the head and neck are rare lesions. Their histologic characteristic is quite different from that of true aneurism in that their wall consists of false endothelial lining only. Until recently their treatment was by a variety of surgical approaches or angiographic embolization. But, because of their aggressive behavior and possible complications, more consevative approach like a sono-guided compression has been sucessfully reported by some authors. The advantages of this method is that it is safe, less aggressive and not complicated procedure. We report a case of false aneurysm of facial artery after BSSRO, which was successfully treated by sono-guided compression.

Objective To evaluate effects of sirolimus(a classic autophagy inducer)and starved culture on autophagy of a human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cell line A431. Methods Cultured A431 cells and HeLa (a human cervical carcinoma cell line)cells were both classified into 5 groups to be treated with DMEM alone(control group), 0.1%dimethyl sulfoxide alone(DMSO group), 20 nmol/L sirolimus(20?nmol/L sirolimus group), 80 nmol/L sirolimus(80?nmol/L sirolimus group), and Earle′s balanced salt solution(EBSS group)respectively. After 4?hour treatment, Western blot analysis was performed to measure the expressions of autophagy?related markers microtubule?associated protein 1 light chain 3A/3B (LC3A/B) and recombinant gamma?aminobutyric acid receptor associated protein(GABARAP), and acridine orange staining to determine autophagy levels in these cells. Results As Western blot analysis showed, the ratio of LC3A/B?Ⅱto LC3A/B?Ⅰin A431 cells was similar between the control group and DMSO group(P > 0.05), but significantly higher in the 20?nmol/L sirolimus group, 80?nmol/L sirolimus group and EBSS group than in the control group(all P < 0.05). Western blot results from HeLa cells were similar to those from A431 cells. Bivariate correlation analysis revealed that the protein expression of GABARAP was positively correlated with that of LC3A/B ?Ⅰ in both HeLa cells(r = 0.869, 95% CI: 0.807 - 0.999, P = 0.051)and A431 cells(r = 0.837, 95% CI: -0.173 - 0.989, P = 0.037), but negatively correlated with that of LC3A/B?Ⅱ in both HeLa cells(r = -0.742, 95% CI: -0.982 - 0.406, P = 0.042)and A431 cells(r = - 0.684, 95% CI: -0.977 - 0.500, P = 0.047). Acridine orange staining showed that the percentages of autophagosome?positive A431 cells and HeLa cells were significantly increased in both the 80?nmol/L sirolimus group(23.750% ± 0.260% and 33.307% ± 0.715% respectively)and EBSS group(32.450% ± 0.488% and 66.097% ± 1.141% respectively) compared with the control group(15.987% ± 0.242% and 14.117% ± 0.295%, respectively, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The classic autophagy inducer sirolimus and starved culture can upregulate the autophagy level of A431 cells, and GABARAP may be highly correlated with LC3A/B.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of c-fos in rats' skin during wound healing. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was conducted on paraffin section from incised wounding model of rat skin. RESULTS: Fos protein improved from the time of 10 min after wounding in the wound edge, then it reached peak at 3 h. 24 h after injury, the quantity of Fos expression had no difference with that of normal skin. CONCLUSION Fos is sensitive after wound, but should be used with other criteria in wounding interval estimation as it's unstediness.
