Thyroid hormone is an important hormone for regulating cell differentiation,growth and metabolism.Many studies have shown that thyroid hormone can induce turmor angiogenesis after binding with the integrin ανβ3 receptor at cell surface.Tetraiodothyroacetic acid is the analogue of thyroid hormone,and can inhibit tumor angiogenesis by inhibiting the binding of thyroid hormone with integrin ανβ3.Studying the role of thyroid hormone in promoting tumor angiogenesis may provide a new approach for molecular targeted therapy of tumor.

According the current National standard for laboratory animal, herpes B virus antibody must be tested and negative for all the breed/tested macaques,howere,in fact the positive rate is around 60-70% in breeding colony. Being the National Standard, if it is too far from the reality of the filed, weighing and changing should be made.Hardness/crispness degree of laboratory animal diet never been considered as a listed value in the National Standard for Laboratory Animal to identify the quality of diet.In fact, this index affects a lot about daily diet intake and physiological status of laboratory animals.Hereby, the authors suggest to take the index into the National Standard, to assess the quality of laboratory animal diet in a more comprehensive way.

Purpose To investigate the relation of Epstein-Barr virus ( EBV) infections and malignant lymphoma. Methods EBV-co-ded RNA ( EBER) was detected by in situ hybridization in tumor tissue of 81 cases of malignant lymphoma in oral, maxillofacial and neck regions, with analysis of the clinical pathological features. Results The detection frequencies of EBER was 44. 44%. The posi-tive detection of EBER in Hodgkin′s lymphomas was 40% and that in non-Hodgkin lymphomas was 45. 1%, including 75% in T cell lymphomas, 87. 5% in NK/T cell lymphomas and 2. 9% in B-cell lymphoma. The positive rates of EBER in T cell lymphomas and NK/T cell lymphomas were significantly higher than that in B-cell lymphoma (P<0. 05). There was a significant difference in the pos-itive rates of EBER between intra-nodal ( 17. 9%) and extra-nodal ( 58. 5%) lymphomas ( P<0. 05 ) . But there was no significant difference the positive rates of EBER between in lymphoma patients over 50 years of age and under the age of 50 patients (55. 9%) (P>0. 05). Conclusion Oral and maxillofacial and neck lymphoma is closely associated with EBV infection in Guangxi region, espe-cially, in which NK/T cell lymphoma most typically occurs in extra-nodal diffuse lymphoid tissues.

AIM: To observe the influence of gold nanoparticles combined with Endostar (AuNPs-Endostar) on the melanoma lung metastasis of mice and the underlying mechanism.METHODS: C57BL/6 mice (n=24) were selected for constructing the model of spontaneous lung metastasis of melanoma B16-F10 cells.Subsequently, the mice were randomly divided into Endostar group, AuNPs group, AuNPs-Endostar group and model group.After the formation of melanoma, the mice in each group were injected with different drugs through tail vein for 0.1 mL daily.After 9 d, the mice were narcotized for cutting the tumors in situ.After the operation, they were raised for 2 weeks before killed for obtaining the lung tissues to observe the situation of the metastasis.HE staining was utilized for observing the necrosis status of the tumors in situ, while immunostaining was applied for testing the expression of CD31, carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX), vimentin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in the tumors.RESULTS: Compared with model group, the pulmonary metastasis in the groups with medical treatment was obviously reduced.In AuNPs-Endostar group, the metastasis inhibition rate was the highest, and the tumor necrosis was also decreased obviously, with the significant reduction of CD31, CA-IX and vimentin expression in the tumors and significant increase in ZO-1 expression.CONCLUSION: Compared with using Endostar or AuNPs alone, the combination of AuNPs with Endostar significantly improves the curative effect of inhibiting the pulmonary metastasis of melanoma in the mice.The mechanism may be related to reducing the tumor angiogenesis, norma-lizing the blood vessels and improving tumor hypoxia, thus inhibiting the tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition, increasing the tight junctions between tumor cells and decreasing the invasiveness.

Wnt signaling pathway is a complex protein interaction network, and its function can most commonly or often be seen in embryonic development and cancer treatments, and meanwhile it is also involved in normal physiological processes in adult animals. Recently, with the rapid development of skin tissue engineering, there have been more and more researches on signal pathway in skin wound healing. At present, it is known that Wnt signaling pathway plays a vital role in the epidermal stem cells, epidermal growth factors, hair follicle development and other important factors related to the epidermal repair. The systemic research on Wnt signaling pathway has important clinical significance in the demonstration and functional process of the skin tissue. In this paper, we review the research development of the Wnt signaling pathway in the epidermal repair process.

The spectrum of biopsy-confirmed kidney disease varies with regions and periods. We describe the distribution of pathological types and epidemiological characteristics of kidney diseases in Northwest China due to regional differences in geographical environment, social economy, and dietary habits. Methods: Kidney biopsy cases from 2005 to 2020 in Xijing Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Pathological characteristics of patients in different periods were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze trends in pathological types and disease spectrum. Results: A total of 10,528 eligible patients were included. Primary glomerular disease (PGD) accounted for the majority of the cases and exhibited an obvious downward trend, whereas secondary glomerular disease (SGD) showed an obvious upward trend. Among PGD, immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) remained the most common pathological type, and the detection rate of membranous nephropathy (MN) was significantly increased. Among SGD, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) was the most common pathological type and may present a significant characteristic of Northwest China. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) exhibited the most obvious upward trend in the whole process, whereas the fastest growth since 2012 was in hypertensive nephropathy. Conclusion: The proportion of SGD increased whereas PGD declined. IgAN remained the most common PGD, and HSPN was the most common SGD. MN and DN showed the most obvious upward trend among PGD and SGD, respectively. Changes in the spectrum of kidney disease, especially the constituent ratio of SGD, pose a great challenge to public health.

Objective:To explore the effect of autologous fat transplantation based on the fine anatomy of the female perineum and aesthetic standards.Methods:From June 2015 to September 2020, 25 female patients with perineal cosmetology requirements in the Department of Plastic Surgery, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, aged from 28 to 55 years, with an average of 33.7 years. 50-80 ml of the patient＇s autologous fat were collected and filled according to the perineal anatomy and aesthetic standards. Postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment was implemented and sexual life was forbidden for 2 weeks.Results:25 patients were satisfied with the filling effect immediately after operation. Follow-up for 7 days, 1, 3, and 6 months after operation, 20 of 21 cases underwent pudendal filling operation were very satisfied with the postoperative morphology, and 1 case was less satisfied. Among the 20 cases underwent vaginal filling and labia major filling, 17 cases were very satisfied with the postoperative morphology, 2 cases were satisfied after the operation, and 1 case was less satisfied. Of the 10 cases underwent vaginal and G-spot injection, 6 cases were satisfied after the operation. The morphology was very satisfactory, 2 cases were more satisfactory, and 2 cases were less satisfactory. According to a survey of 25 cases of postoperative sexual life satisfaction, 19 cases (76%) had a significant improvement in their conscious sexual life, 3 cases had a more obvious improvement, 1 case had less improvement, and 2 cases had no conscious improvement.Conclusions:The autologous fat injection based on the fine anatomy and aesthetics of the perineum can significantly improve the aesthetic appearance of the perineum.
