Objective To elucidate the significance of expressive change in tissues of breast carcinomas.Methods Expression of PTEN protein was detected by immunohistochemistry (SP) in breast carcinomas?atypical intraductal hyperplasia?normal breast tissue. Results The positive rate and expressive intensity of PTEN protein in breast carcinoma were lower and weaker than those in atypical intraductal hyperplasia and normal breast. The intensity of PTEN protein expression was associated with differentiation degree of breast carcinoma, the poorer differentiation of breast carcinoma , the weaker expression of PTEN protein. Comparing with breast carcinoma, the PTEN expression level of atypical intraductal hyperplasia was higher , but It was lower than normal breast tissue. it is helpful for us to assess the carcinogenesis probability of atypical intraductal hyperplasia by detecting the PTEN.

[Objective]To study the clinical results of methods of improvement of pedicle screw stability in patients of osteoporosis. [Method]Thirty-four cases of patients with osteoporosis were operated using pedicle screw and methods of improvement of pedicle screw stability were used during the operations.Of which,male 20,female 14;the mean age of 57(range 40～71).According to Jikei grading scale for osteoporosis,8 were of early stage,11 of stageⅠ,8 of stageⅡ and 7 of stageⅢ.There were 14 cases of fractures and 20 cases of osteopathy.For patients of early stage and stageⅠ(19 cases),long and large size of pedicle screws were used,meanwhile stiff connection rod system,two cross-link devices,placement of pedicle screw with large angles in horizontal and sagital planes were applied.For patients of stageⅡ and stageⅢ(15 cases) bone cement was used to fill the pedicle hole to ensure the screw stabily.[Result]There were no neurologic and vessel injuries or aggravated as well as no breakage of screw except two cases with loosening of screw during the follow-up with the mean period of 14 months(range 9～26).The loss of correction of reduction in fractures was 5%,the rate of fusion was 100% in grafting.[Conclusion]Different methods of improvement of pedicle screw stability used in osteoporosis may avoid loosening of screw and loss of correction.

Objective To investigate the correlation between T cell subsets and HCV viralload in HCV infection. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect peripheral T cell subsets count of 69 patients with hepatitis C and 20 cases of normal health human, and fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect viral load in patients with hepa-titis C. Results ① The study showed that the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells (42.87 ±6.11) and of CD4 +/CD8 +(1.34±0.25) in patients patients was significantly lower than those of normal health group,it was 49.55±6.68 and 1.82±0.11 (P<0.01);but the percentage ratio of CD8 +T cells (32.78±5.48) was higher than that of the normal health human ( 27.35 ±4.32 ) ( P<0.01 ) . There were no significant differences between the two groups in the percentage ratio of CD3 + T cells. ② The viral load gradually increased as the percentage ratio of CD8 +T cells increased, while the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells and the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells and CD4 +/ CD8 + were decreased gradually. Conclusion It may be one of the important reasons as the chronic infec-tion of hepatitis C virus by change of T cell subsets, and may be an important cause leading to the decrease of T lymphocyte response ability as the expression level of HCV RNA increases.

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is a syndrome associated with many conditions, including malignant neoplasms. One case T-cell malignant lymphoma whose first manifestation was RS3PE syndrome is reported, and the related literature is reviewed. RS3PE syndrome can be classified as primary and secondary one. The secondary RS3PE syndrome may not be a specific disease, and its prognosis depends on the primary disorders. The RS3PE syndrome associated with malignant neoplasms is called paraneoplastic RS3PE syndrome. Systemic symptoms and signs, eosinophilia and high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) may indicate the possible presence of malignant lymphoma.

The reform in cultivating professional-degree programs in Clinical Medicine Education contributes to the transformation of training mode, which surpasses the connotative bounds of the inherent education management. The personalized training of students has made it more challenging for both the tutor and the faculty to involve in education management, the effectiveness of which is highly valued due to the pressing need for sound medical ethics. Furthermore, the development of information technology calls for the reform of education management as well as the emphasis of student-centered approach. This article summa-rizes the existing problems of current education management mode for master degree programs of profes-sional clinical medical education. In addition, a three-level management system composed of medical experts is brewed and put forth. This system, based on compensation and restraint, assessment and incentive, ser-vice as well as security, is meant to facilitate the training of application-oriented medical talents.

The pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis ( MS) involves alterations to multiple pathways and processes, which represent a significant challenge for developing more-effective therapies.In MS, abnormalities have been identified in several cytokine-signaling pathways, as well as those of other immune receptors.Among the downstream molecules implicated are Jak/Stat, NF-κb, ERK1/2, p38 or Jun/Fos, current MS drugs target some of these pathways.This article will with the aid of the latest research results of systems biology approaches that study pathway dysregulation in the process of MS development, targeting these relevant MS-signaling pathways, offers the opportunity to accelerate the development of novel individual or combination therapies for the future of new drug research.

Objectives To investigate the associations of serum superoxide dismutase ( SOD) , malondialdehyde (MDA), and uric acid (UA) with blood pressure and the prevalence of hypertension in a Chinese population. Methods We measured serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and uric acid (UA) in 506 randomly selected participants. For database management and statistical analysis, we used the SAS 9.13 Software. Results Compared with normotensive participants, hypertensive patients had significantly lower serum levels of superoxide dismutase activity ( =0.0002), and higher serum levels of malondialdehyde and uric acid ( <0.05) .Univariate analysis indicated that serum superoxide dismutase activity was negatively associated with blood pressure, and serum levels of uric acid (P 0.0001);while serum levels of malondialdehyde was positively associated with blood pressure, and serum levels of uric acid (P 0.05) . There was significant difference in systolic (Ptrend=0.02) and diastolic blood pressure (Ptrend=0.04) between three groups defined by tertiles of serum levels of superoxide dismutase, with a lower blood pressure in the highest tertile than in the lowest tertile. Furthermore, the systolic (Ptrend=0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (Ptrend=0.003) in the highest tertile, which defied by the serum levels of malondialdehyde, were significantly higher than those in the lowest tertile. Conclusions Hypertensive patients have a disturbed oxidative and anti-oxidative balance. Oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension in Chinese.

BACKGROUND:Many studies have shown that different nanostructures produce different influences on cellbioactivity, but the nanonetwork structure is not reported yet. OBJECTIVE:To study the influence of the nanonetwork topography on the bioactivity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS:The nanonetwork topography was fabricated on biomedical titanium surface by alkali-heat treatment, and pure titanium served as control group. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were co-cultured with the above two types of samples. cellmorphology and cytoskeleton were observed using scanning electron microscope and immunofluorescence method. The celladhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were detected by measurement of absorbance values at different culture time. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The nanonetwork topography had significant advantage on the number of adherent cels at 30, 60 and 120 minutes of co-culture. The cellproliferation was significantly accelerated by the nanonetwork topography at days 1, 3, 5 of co-culture, and the absorbance values in the nanonetwork group were significantly higher than those in the pure titanium group (P < 0.05). The alkaline phosphatase activity in the nanonetwork group was also significantly higher than that in the pure titanium group at 14 days of osteogenic induction (P < 0.05). The cellshape and cytoskeleton on the nanonetwork surface were better than those on the titanium surface. These findings indicate that the nanonetwork topography has better effects on cellbioactivity compared with pure titanium.
