Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is an important tumor suppressor gene,in non-small-cell lung cancer and precancerous lesions its protein deficiency is common,reflecting the FHIT gene is changing in lung cancer occurred in the early molecular events.Ferredoxin in the participation of Fhit protein promotes the electron transport function,and promotes the apoptosis of tumour cells in oxidative stress environment.Fhit protein expression combined platinum enhanced the apoptosis of tumor cell response.With early occuring,high-frequency and facilitate detection,the abnormal changes of FHIT/FRA3B,which take great significance to explain the factors,such as race,genetic polymorphism,geography,environment,respiratory diseases in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.

Recent studies have revealed that sox4 gene expresses abnormally in many kinds of tumor tissues and it probably involves in tumorigenesis,development and metastasis of cancer.Regulating proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis and other process may participate in the work mechanisms of sox4 gene.Therefore,further studies about the relationship between sox4 gene and tumor would provide new ideas of exploring special diagnosis markers and novel targets for tumor therapy.

Staphylococcus epidermidis(SE)is the main opportunistic pathogen in nosocomial infections.It usually enter the body along with biomedical materials and adheres to the surface of biomaterials to form bacterial bi06lm.SE bi06lm bears high organized multi.cell colony structure.Bacterial biofilm iS the key reason for refractoriness of biomaterial originated infection.This paper gives an overview of the research progresses in biomaterial related infection,including SE ica operon,formation of biofilm,biofilm treatment,and SO on.Our review shows that studies of SE biofilm were COnfined to the mutated strain from laboratory and growth pattern of plankton and thus the natural clinical pathogenic procedure of SE can't be fully described.Further study should be carried out on formation of SE biofilm and treatment of infections related to the clinical application of biomaterials.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a commensal bacteria which inhabits on the surface of human skin and mucous membrane.It has been demonstrated that staphylococcus epidermidis is a major opportunistic pathogen that can cause clinical biomaterial related infection and plays an important role in biomaterial implantation associated infections.The main pathogenic factor is the formation of the bacterial biofilm on surface of medical biomaterial.The formation of bacterial biofilm can resist the defense reaction and antibiotic treatment effectively so that leading to the biomaterial implantation associated infection which is difficult to cure thoroughly,and make the infections become chronic,persistent and repetitive.Nowadays,the infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis have caused high clinical mortality.Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation,the regulations of intercellular adhesion gene (ica) operon and accessory gene regulator (agr) gene on the formation of biofilm and their functions in clinical biomaterial related infections are reviewed in this article.

Implant-associated infection is a serious problem in the clinical application of biomaterials.which greatly restricts the generalizatjon of cardiovascular biomaterials,while bacterial adhesion is the initial cause for implant-associated infections of cardiovascular biomaterials.Therefore.the prevention of bacteriaI adhesion to the biomaterials plays a crucial role in the cure of biomaterial center infection.It has reported that human plasma protein influences the bacterial adhesion to biomateriais.Some plasma proteins inhibit bacterial adhesion.whereas some promote jt.Study on the correlation between plasma protein and hacterial adhesion to the biomaterials is of great importance in the prevention and cure of biomaterials center infection.

Objective To construct a qseC-deleted mutant strain of E.coli by Red recombination and to study the effect of qseC gene on biofilm formation in the mutants.Methods The chloramphenicolresistant gene flanked by homologues of target genes was amplified by PCR and electro-transformed into E.coli MC1000.When induced by L-arabinose,the plasmid pKD46 could express three recombinant proteins of λ-prophage,which led to the replacement of target gene(qseC) with chloramphenicol-resistant gene.Then the chloramphenicol-resistant gene was eliminated by FLP-promoted recombination events.The biofilm formation of wild-type and mutant strain was detected by crystal violet staining.Results The qseC-deleted mutant of E.coli was confirmed by various PCR and DNA sequencing.Gene qseC was completely deleted.There was no significant difference in growth ability between the qseC mutant strain and the wild-type strain MC1000.The biofilm formation of wild-type and mutant strain was quantified by crystal violet staining.The absorbance determined with a plate reader at 570 nm was 1.00±0.15 and 0.47±0.10 respectively.Conclusion The qseC-deleted mutant of E.coli was constructed successfully.And the qseC gene plays an important role in regulation of biofilm formation in E.coli.

Objective To study the relationship between the expression of E-cadherin and the development, invasion and metastasis of esophageal carcinoma. Methods The expressions of E-cadherin in 58 cases with esophgeal carcinoma and 122 other cases with esophageal epithelial disease were examined by immunohistochemical technique. The relation between the expression of E-cadherin in esophageal carcinoma and the clinical pathological characteristics of esophageal carcinoma were analyzed. Results The expression rate of E-cadherin gene protein in esophageal squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma was 22.0%(11/50), 25.0%(2/8), respectively, compared with the normal group (100%, 20/20) and simple atypical hyperplastic group (92.9%, 26/28). The difference was significant (P

Objective To summarize the sonographic characteristics of high frequency ultrasound and elastography of thyroid microcarcinoma(TMC),and to analyze the causes of misdiagnosis.Methods The preoperative ultrasonic data of 245 suspicious TMCs in 202 patients,as confirmed by operation pathology,were retrospectively analyzed.Results Preoperative ultrasonography accurately diagnosed 221 TMCs,the diagnosis rate was 90.2％,and the misdiagnosis rate was 9.8％.Among the missed diagnosed lesions,18 lesions were nodular goiter,others were 3 nodular goiter with focal papillary hyperplasia of follicular epithelium,2 nodular goiter with adenomatous hyperplasia,1 focal lymphocytic thyroiditis,respectively.The thyroid lesions≤0.5 cm in diameter were more easily to misdiagnose.According to the importance of the ultrasonographic features of TMC,the order were aspect ratio (A/T) ≥ 1,irregular-shape,microcalcifications,low or very-low echo.Based on the above corresponding characteristics and considering other features together,the diagnostic accuracy rate were 94.1 ％,93.9％,92.4％ and 90.5％,respectively.Less blood supply and ill-defined boundary were the secondary sonographic signs of TMC.The elastographic scores of TMC were most showed 4 to 5 points.Diagnosis of TMC relied on elastography alone is less effective,but when elastograph diagnosis based on high frequency ultrasound,the diagnostic accuracy is much higher,especially when there is no calcification in the lesions.Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound has a very important value in the diagnosis of TMC,while elastography has certain assistant value on the basis of high-frequency ultrasonic diagnosis.
