OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of SleX and CD24 in nasal inverted papilloma and its pathologic features.METHODS HE staining were conducted to study the pathologic features in specimens of 11 cases with nasal inverted papilloma. Further,immunohistochemistry stain for SleX and CD24 were performed in total specimens.RESULTS One case(9.1%) was diagnosed as severe atypical hyperplasia but tumor cells did not invaded basal membranes.SleX staining located at cell membranes. Positive SleX staining was found in 9 specimens (81.8%) and 1 normal nasal epithelium (16.7%).CD24 staining located in cytoplasm.Positive CD24 staining was found in 8 specimens of nasal inverted papilloma (72.7%). CD24 was negative in nasal epithelial cells and only a few lymphocytes were positive.CONCLUSION Some cases of nasal inverted papilloma are diagnosed with severe atypical hyperplasia.Most of cases express CD24,so nasal inverted papilloma may be a borderline tumor.Expression of SleX and infiltration of inflammatory cells suggest that nasal inverted papilloma may be related to inflammatory reactions.

Objective: To inquire into the testis gene change of mouse model with kidney-yang deficiency induced by overfatigue and excessive sexual life, the modern science mechanism of syndrome of kidney-yang deficiency and kidney controlling reproduction can be revealed on the gene level. Methods: The model of kidney-yang deficiency was established by each male mouse with six female mice keeping in the same cage, and all the male mice were forced to swim for 30-40 minutes everyday lasting for four weeks. The testis genes of mice in control group and model group were detected with Mouse OneArrayTM Whole Genome DNA microarray. The differentially expressed genes were screened under the condition of the relative fluorescence intensity ratio of the two groups ≥2 and ≤0.5 and further classified according to gene function by using Molecule Annotation System (MAS) created by CapitalBio Corp. Beijing, China. Results: The mouse model with kidney-yang deficiency was established successfully by the method of overfatigue and excessive sexual life. The scatter plot of gene expression profiles of comparing control group with model group was drawn. Differentially expressed genes were screened, including 2425 up-regulated genes and 3080 down-regulated genes. Among the first one hundred up-regulated genes, 41 genes were known and among the first one hundred down-regulated genes, 62 genes were known. These genes were mainly related to the cellular structure/function, material/energy metabolism, signal transduction/transmission, inflammation/immunization, cell apoptosis, transcription/translation,proliferation/differentiation and cell cycle. Conclusion: The testis gene of kidney-yang deficiency mouse had a wide change. The essence of kidney-yang deficiency syndrome and the theory of the kidney originating and controlling life reproduction were explained on the gene level.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgical intervention of complicated cataract in patients with uveitis.
●METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 57 cases (57 eyes ) with complicated cataract with uveitis were involved in the study from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2015. All cases underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery successfully. The postoperative reaction, effect, complications and so on were retrospectively analyzed after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation surgery. The date of visual outcome was analyzed using Non - parametric Wilcoxon test.
●RESULTS: lris were bleed in 21 eyes ( 37%) , 4 eyes ( 7%) with posterior capsule rapture and posterior chamber intraocular lens was not implanted in 4 eyes ( 7%) . The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) was significantly increased after surgery. The UCVA of 8 eyes (14%) were 0. 1 or better before surgery, and the UCVA of 42 eyes (74%) were 0. 1 or better 3mo after surgery, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=23. 42, P<0. 001). The corneal edema (17 eyes, 30%), uveitis (2 eyes, 4%) and intraocular hypertension ( 1 eyes, 2%) were appeared in postoperative 1d. The corneal edema (3 eyes, 5%) was appeared in postoperative 1wk. The uveitis ( 1 eyes, 2%) was appeared in postoperative 1mo. The corneal edema (1 eyes, 2%), uveitis (2 eyes, 4%) , intraocular hypertension ( 1 eyes, 2%) and after-cataract ( 3 eyes, 5%) were appeared in postoperative 3mo.
● CONCLUSION: The phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens implantation surgical intervention of complicated cataract in patients with uveitis has good effect and fewer complications.

Objective To investigate the histological and biochemical responses associated with periprosthetic osteolysis,including the changes of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),osteoprotegerin(OPG) and os- teoprotegeria ligand (OPEL) in the interface membrane in rat models so as to understand the mechanisms of these interactions.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats were used in this study.A titanium alloy plug was inserted into each distal femur through the knee joint.Polyethylene particles were injected into the left knee at 2,4,6,8 and 10 weeks after implantation of the plugs.Saline solution was injected into the right knee as the control.The animals were killed 12 weeks after implantation.The distal femur was taken from each knee to make histological sections. The samples were made decalcified and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.The histopathological changes were observed under a light microscope.The concentrations of TNF-?in the membrane were assayed by a ELISA kit and the mRNA expressions of OPG and OPEL extracted from the tissue around the plug were detected by RT-PCR. Results The interface membrane taken from the experimental side was found to contain extensive fibrous tissues which extended deeply into the surrounding hone.TNF-?concentrations in the membrane of the experimental side were higher than in the control membrane.There was a significant decrease of OPG mRNA and a significant increase of OPGL mRNA in the membrane around the plug at the experimental side compared with the control side.Con- clusions Polyethylene particles can induce inflammatory responses around the titanium alloy plug.The increase of OPGL expression and reduction of OPG expression in membrane at the experimental side may be induced by TNF-?. Such changes might contribute to the differentiation of osteoclasts and result in the periprosthetic osteolysis.

Objective In the previous study completed in Korea, early three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy concurrent with chemotherapy in rectal cancer after radical surgery demonstrated a better prognosis compared with late radiotherapy. However, with the report of MOSAIC trial, the adjuvant chemotherapy regimen had transferred from 5-Fu alone to combined 5-Fu and Oxaliplatin. We need more evidence to clarify the best radiotherapy timing during the whole period of adjuvant therapy . Methods Patients who met the following criteria were accrued in this study: 18-70 years old, lower anterior resection,pathologically proven rectal adenocarcinoma, stage T3-4 and/or N+, no evidence of distant metastases and KPS≥70. Three dimensional conformal Radiotherapy was started at the fourth week after surgery, which included 45 Gy whole pelvic radiation following by 6-10 Gy tumor bed boost. Oxaliplatin of 50 mg/m2 weekly and Xeloda 625 mg/m2 twice a day, every week from d1-5 were used concurrent with radiotherapy.Toxicity was evaluated and graded by common toxicity critera version 3. 0. The study was designed as Simon two-phase design, in the first phase, a total of 15 patients were accrued, and if more than or equal to 9 patients had grade 3 toxicity, we had 85% power to confirm the toxicity caused by early radiotherapy more than 50%. Otherwise, another 15 patients of the second phase were accrued, we would have 85% power to confirm the high toxicity of more than 50% if 18 out of 30 patients had grade 3 toxicity. Results From July 2008 to December 2008, 15 patients were treated with early radiotherapy concurrent with combined chemotherapy, Grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity occurred in 12 patients and Grade 3 hematologic toxicity occurred in 2 patients. According to Simon design, we had 85% power to confirm the toxicity caused by early radiotherapy more than 50%. Conclusions For locally advanced rectal cancer patients, whole pelvic radiotherapy concurrent with oxaliplatin and xeloda had severe toxicities. Further studies are needed to decrease toxieities.
