Objective:To study the expression of NF-?Bp65 and bcl-x L gene in pancreatic carcinoma and their clinical significance.Methods:The expressions of NF-?Bp65 and bcl-x L protein in 52 pancreatic carcinoma were studied by immunohistochemistry,and their relationship to clinical pathology were analyzed.Results:The positive rates of NF-?Bp65 protein and bcl-x L protein in pancreatic carcinoma were 63.5% and 73.1% respectively,and which were higher than those of normal pancreatic tissues.The expression of NF-?Bp65 was related to tumor diameter,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis,and had no relation with the extent of differentiation and type of pathology.There was positive correlation between NF-? Bp65 and bcl-x L expression.Conclusion:NF-? Bp65 may be an important oncoprotein,and may have positive regulation on bcl-x L,then promote tumorgenesis.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of surgical treatment for hilar cholangio-carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 89 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma surgically treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into 3 groups: radical resection(group A,n=23),palliative resection (group B,n=44) and external drainage operation (group C,n=22). Complications,operative mortality,survival rate and posttreatment quality of lire were compara-tively analyzed among the 3 groups. Results The rate of complications was significantly higher in group A than in group C (P<0.05). There was no marked difference in operative mortality between group A and group B (P>0.05). The 1-,2-and 3-year survival rates and scoring of quality of life were remarkably higher in group A than in other 2 groups (P<0. 001 and 0. 05). Conclusion Radical re-section of hilar cholangiocarcinoma can improve the long-term survival and significantly enhance quality of life of the patients after operation. For patients receiving unradical resection, palliative surgical man-agement can improve the long-term survival and enhance quality of life.

Objective To design a more reasonable method by comparing three existing injury severity scores for evaluating maxillofacial injury severity according to its features by retrospective analysis. Methods Nine hundred and eighty-four cases with maxillofacial trauma (≤30 days before hospitalization) selected from 1 159 cases were stratified by the number of fractures and the sites of trauma. The injury severity was evaluated with ISS, RFISS and MISS respectively. The results of ISS/RFISS/MISS were compared and analyzed with SPSS software. Results MISS could accurately differentiate single from multiple facial injuries. It was more meaningful for evaluating different sites of facial injury compared with ISS and RFISS. Conclusion MISS can be used to evaluate maxillofacial injury objectively and accurately.

Objective To detect of clostridium perfringens by qPCR in mouse models and a clinical case in order to offer early diagnosis.Methods 40 Kunming mice were randomly grouped and intramuscular injected clostridium perfringens type A in leg 0.1 ml(3.5 × 109cfu/ml or 3.5 × 108cfu/ml or 3.5× 107cfu/ml,diluted with saline),while control group was injected with 9% sodium chloride 0.1ml.The mouse models and a clinical case were detected by qPCR.Results The death rate of 3.5 × 109,3.5 × 108,3.5 × 107cfu/ml and the blank group were 90%,70%,10% and 0% after intramuscular injection for 72 h spectively.The mean Ct values among these groups were 21.21 ±2.69,28.45 ±2.74,32.49 ±2.87 and 0.00 ± 0.00(P ＜ 0.05).The Ct values of the patient were 30.67 and 30.44.Conclusions Cclostridium perfringens could be successful identified with qPCR in mouse models when the mice still did not show any symptoms.

Objective To study the expression of nuclear factor-?Bp65 (NF-?Bp65) in gastric carcinoma and its relationship with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Methods The expression of NF-?Bp65 and VEGF in 56 gastric carcinomas was detected with immunohistochemistry and compared with benign tissues. Results The positive rates of NF-?Bp65 and VEGF in 56 gastric carcinomas were 62.5% and 76.8% respectively,and which were higher than those of gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia (33.3% and 44.4%) and the normal gastric mucosa(0 and 8.3%) (P0.05). There was positive correlation between NF-?Bp65 and VEGF expression (r=0.36,P

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristic and provide therapeutic techniques of maxillofacial trauma in the elderly. Methods Geriatric maxillaofacial trauma patients admitted to our hospital from January 1992 to December 2002 was retrospectively reviewed. Data were collected according to etiology, location, comorbidities, associated injuries, therapeutic methods and the outcome. The patients were compared with a control group consisting of 200 young and adult patients admitted at the same period. Results For the 126 geriatric trauma patients, the major causes were traffic accidents(61.1%) and violence assault(25.4%). A large proportion of facial injuries occurred on the lower part of the face. 69.1% of the patients presented with preexisting diseases. Most of the fractures were not treated(35.7%). The length of hospitalization and ICU stay were relatively longer when compared with the control group(P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical and pathological features of solitary pterygoid benign lesions, as well as the treatment and outcome of endoscopic surgery. METHOD: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 4 patients with pterygoid benign lesions in our department. High resolution CT and enhanced MRI were performed before the operations, then endoscopic surgeries were carried out under the circumstance of general anesthesia. After a follow-up in 12 months to 48 months, nasal endoscopy and MRI examination were performed. Therefore we are able to understand the situation of operations and postoperative recurrences, and to inquire about the changes of symptoms and the relief of symptoms before and after surgery. RESULT: From the Pathological diagnosis, it showed 2 cases of cystic lesions, 1 case of spindle cell lipoma, 1 case of inflammatory lesion. Postoperative follow up showed scar formation, smooth surface, no recurrence, and no new symptom. Nasal obstruction is relieved after the surgery, and no changes in the sympotoms of headache were observed. CONCLUSION The combination of high resolution CT with enhanced MRI isimportant for ascertaining the location, extent and nature of the pterygoid lesions. Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective method for the treatment of solitary pterygoid benign lesions.

ObjectiveTo explore the treatment and economic burden of urine incontinence (UI) in the rural elderly,and provide evidences for preventive intervention.MethodsA cluster sampling was carried out in 743 people (aged 60 years and over) from 5 villages dominated by Yanliu and Dafengshang health centers,Jixian County,Tianjin from 2007 to 2008.The information about general state of health,treatment and economic burden of disease were analyzed. Results The prevalence of UI was 33.4％ (248 cases) among the 743 elderly people.Only 12 patients (4.8％) with UI ever visited community health-care service centers or hospitals for diagnosis and treatment,among whom only 1 case visited hospital within 1 year,8 cases during 1 to 5 years,and 3 cases over 5 years.And the method of treatment was all drug therapy.Among 248 cases with UI,there were 227 cases (91.5％) without any treatment,9 cases (3.6％) buying medicines by themselves.The direct cost for treatment of UI was 80-12000 yuan RMB,including 2 cases below 100 yuan RMB,2 cases 100-1000 yuan RMB,7 cases 1001-5000 yuan RMB and 1 case over 10000 yuan RMB. Conclusions Prevalence of UI is high while hospital-visiting rate is very low,and the financial burden of disease is serious,thus intervention measures for UI should be taken for the elderly people in rural areas of Jixian County,Tianjin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the outcome and risk factors for kidney involvement by analyzing 64 patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)-associated vasculitis.MethodsData analyzed including the demographic information,survival status,renal survival status and laboratory parameters such asserum albumin level,serum creatinine level,urinary protein excretion level,hematuria,high sensitivity C-reactive protein(CRP),ANCA titer,and the Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS).Logistic regression analysis,Cox regression analysis and ROC curve were used to evaluate the risk factors of patients with renal involvement and all-event survival.ResultsTotally 64 patients were enrolled [24 females with the average age of (59.9±2.0) years] and followed up for a median of (38±16) months.The morality rate was 14％,and the prevalence of end stage renal disease was 39％.Compared with those who had better outcomes,patients who died or with end stage renal disease had higher serum creatinine level [ (624±246),(245±127 ) μ mol/L,respectively,t=7.17,P＝0.005 ] and erythrocyte sediment rate [ (112±24),(76±48) mm/1 h,respectively,t=3.74,P＜0.01 ],but lower serum albumin level [(294±31 ),(316±42) g/L,respectively,t=-2.27,P=0.01 ] and hemoglobin level [ (79±13),(99±33) g/L,respectively,t=-3.23,P＜0.01 ] at baseline.Logistic regression analysis found that serum creatinine level and erythrocyte sediment rate at baseline were associated with poor outcome and Cox regression analysis further confirmed this result[Scrβ=1.004,95％CI1.002～1.006,P＜0.01; ESR β=l.018,95％CI 1.000～1.037,P=0.046].ROC curve analysis showed that serum creatinine and erythrocyte sediment rate were predictors for AAV patients' prognosis and their AUC were 0.95 and 0.80,the sensitivity of these parameters was both 94％,and the specificity was 93％ and 70％respectively.ConclusionThe intensity of initial treatment should be based on disease severity and activity in order to improve the prognosis of those with ANCA-associated vasculitis with renal involvement.Increased serum creatinine and erythrocyte sediment rate may serve as predictors for poor prognosis in this patient cohort.
