Substantial evidence supports the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Numerous studies suggest that chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis, contributes to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma development. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the most important pathogens in association with periodontal disease, might have a potential correlation with OSCC. Along with the development of molecular biological techniques, the association between Porphyromonas gingivalis and OSCC has been greatly emphasized in recent years. This review summarizes the association between these variables and the potential mechanisms involved in such relationship.

Objective To study the effects of combined telmisartan and ramiprll on heart function and renin - angiotensin - aldoste-tone system and ventricle remodeling and brain natriuretie peptide in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods 100 patientswith chronic heart failure were randomly divided into three groups: telmisartan group (A group, treated with telmisartan 80mg once daily, n =33), ramipril group (B group treated with ramipril 5mg once daily, n =33) and telmisartan plus ramipril group (treated with telmis-artan 40mg plus ramipril 2.5mg once daily, n = 34). Left ventricular end - diastolic dimensions (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed, and plasma renin activity (Ren) , angiotensinIl (Angll), aldosterone (Aid) and brain natriuretic pep-tide (BNP) were measured before and after therphy. Results After 6 months of treatment, LVEDD and LVEF were improved in all groups(P < 0.01). All changs were significant in C group than those in A group or B group(P < 0.01). The concentration of Ren were in-creased in all groups(P <0.01). The concentration of Angll was increased in A group and decreased in B group(P <0.01)while there was no difference at pre or post treatment in C group (P > 0.01). The concentration of Ald and BNP was decreased in all groups (P < 0.01). Ald and BNP were decreased more significantly in C group than those in A group or B group. Conclusion Combination of low dose of telmisartan and ramipril therapy has more benificial clinical features than telmisartan or ramipril alone in patients with CHF.

Objective To analyse the change of the blood serum electrolyte in asphyxial neonates.Methods To test the concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) in enzyme linked immunosorbhent assay.In 343 cases,there were 297 cases of slight asphyxial neonates and 46 eases of serious neonates.In control group,there were 41 cases.Results The concentration of blood serum K~+、C~l-、Ca~(2+) in asphyxial neonates were significamly less than control group(all P<0.01) and the concentration after birth 24h～48h were significantly less than within 24h(all P<0.01).The incidence of hyponatremia,hypochloremia and hypocalcemia after birth 24h～48h were significantly hisher than within 24h(all P<0.01),There were no significant differences in the concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) between the slight asphyxial group and the serious asphyxial group(P>0.05).Conclusions The concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) in asphyxial neonates gradually reduced after birth 48h and tbe incidence of electrolyte disturbance gradually increased.The change of blood electrolyte should be dynamically routinely monitored.

The causes of iatrogenic injury in choledo-cho-pancreatico-duodenai junction include iatrogenic factors, anatomic factors and pathological factors. T-tube, methylthionine chloride and fiber choledochoscopy are useful methods for early diagnosis. Accurate exploration of the injury site and reasonable choice of management were significant in dealing with the iatrogenie injury and can lead to a satisfactory result. Choledo-chojejunostomy and Oddi sphincteroplasty are not recommended unless the patients had distal bile duet stricture or the stones can not be removed. Accurate detection of the injury site, evaluation of the severity, and proper choice of the surgical method are important for the prognosis of the patients.

Biological agents has opened a new chapter in the targeted therapy of rheumatism,and provides a new choice for the rheumatism children who is refractory to traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.This article described the classification,application,efficency,side effects and precautions of the cytokines antagonists and the cell targeting biological agents,to provide a reference for rational application in clinical work.

Mechanisms of UV-B-induced apoptotic regulation in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. The results showed that UV-B irradiation indeed inhibited the growth of yeast cells as well as induced extensive apoptosis during 96 h experiment period. However, survival of 96 h irradiated cells remained 10% while most control cells finally dead after re-growth under UV-B irradiation for 12 d. And by exposed to 0.01 mol/L or 0.1 mol/L H2O2 for 30 min, survival rate of 24 h irradiated cells were 3.0-fold or 3.2-fold than control, respectively. By to heat shock for 30 min or 60 min, survival rate of 24 h irradiated cells were 3.5-fold or 9.0-fold than control, respectively.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects and adverse reactions of meropenem in the treatment of severe lung infection. Methods:Totally 62 severe bacterial lung infection patients were randomly divided into two groups randomly. The patients in the con-trol group (31 cases ) were treated with cefoperazone / sulbactam 2-8 g in 100 ml 0. 9% sodium chloride injections,ivd,q12h, and the treatment group (31 cases ) was treated with meropenem 1 g in 100 ml 0. 9% sodium chloride injections,ivd,q8h. The treatment course was 14 days. The bacterial clearance rate, dual infection rate, clinical efficacy and adverse drug reactions of the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The bacterial clearance rate in the control group was 85. 2% and that in the treatment group was 92. 85% (P>0. 05). The incidence rate of dual infection in the treatment group (3. 6%) was significant lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). The total effective rate in the treatment group (96. 77%) was significant higher than that in the control group ( P<0. 05). The adverse reactions of the two groups had no significant difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Meropenem is ef-fective in the treatment of severe bacterial lung infection. It can clear bacteria and reduce dual infection effectively, which shows better efficacy than cefoperazone / sulbactam.

Objective To assess the clinical significance of the expression of p53, p21 protein in breast cancer (BC). Method The expression levels of p53, p21 proteins were examined by immunohistochemical (IHC) SP techniques in 69 BC specimen and 20 paracancinoma breast tissue. Result p53 and p21 proteins were failed to be observed in the paracancer tissue. p53 protein was found in 47.8% of BC, while p21 protein in 43.5% of BC. Along with the declined of BC cell differentiation degree, p53 expression increased significantly and p21 expression declined obviously. Expression of p21 was lower in patients with lymph node metastasis than that in patients without lymph node metastasis (P

Adipose tissue is the largest pool of free cholesterol in the body and performs "buffer" function for circulating cholesterol metabolism. Cholesterol metabolism in adipocytes is closely associated with triglyceride storage. Cholesterol might serve as an intracellular signal moleculer of the adipocyte energy store and mediate some metabolic dysfunctions of enlarged adipocytes.
