For human solid tumors,the preferred treatment is surgery.However most patients with clinical diagnosis of tumor is already in advanced,and lost the chance of operation.Cleavage and polyadenylation specific factor is involved in mRNA 3' end cleavage and polyadenine (A) tail,and plays an important role in mRNA maturation and intracellular singal transduction.Under certain conditions,cleavage and polyademletion specific factor can lead to abnormal activation of cancer genes,and then cause tumors.Progress in the relation between cleavage and polyademletion specific factor and tumor was reviewed in the paper.

Objective To explore the value of endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage (NPD) in the prevention of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) in a high-risk population.Methods From April 2009 to February 2012,a total of 105 cases of PEP high risk population were collected and divided into non NPD group (n=58) and NPD group (n=47) according to the situation during the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) operation.NPD was placed in NPD group,the head of the drainage passed the neck of pancreas under X-ray.Nasobiliary drainage or no drainage was assigned to the group of non NPD group according to the situation during operation.x2 test and t-test were performed for comparing and analyzing the clinical data before and post operation,the incidence and risk ratio of PEP between the two groups.Results Twenty-four hours after ERCP,the mean level of serum amylase at 24 h (t=2.419),the degree of abdominal pain (t3h=2.585,t24h=7.236) and relief time (t=4.996) of NPD group were better than those of non NPD group (all P＜0.05).The incidence of PEP in NPD group was 6.7％(3/45) and non NPD group was 29.3 ％ (17/58),the incidence of PEP in the NPD group was significantly lower than that in the non NPD group (x2 =8.304,P＜0.01),and the relative risk was 0.172 (95％CI:0.047 to 0.632,P＜0.01).Conclusion The regular placement of endoscopic NPD is a practical,effective and easy way to prevent PEP in high risk population.

Objective To explore how to improve the curative effects and reduce the complications of duodenoscopy in the treatment of bile duct diseases. Methods Clinical data of 292 cases of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and 104 cases of endoscopic nose biliary drainage (ENBD, including 9 post-EST cases) from February 1995 to February 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. Results The success rate of EST was 92.1% (269/292). Among 272 cases of common bile duct calculus, stones were completely taken out in 235 cases (86.4%). Among 15 cases of intrahepatic duct calculus, stones were completely removed in 4 cases. Biliary duct foreign bodies were removed at once in 3 out of 5 cases. EST related complications were found in 16 cases (7 cases of acute pancreatitis, 5 cases of bleeding at the site of incision, 2 cases of severe cholangitis, 1 case of duodenal perforation and 1 case of instrumental break-off), with an incidence rate of 5.5% (16/292). Satisfactory outcomes were achieved in 92 cases receiving ENBD. No death occurred in the study. Conclusions Proper selection of patients and skillful performance of EST is the key to improve its curative effects and reduce its complications.

Objective To study the expressions of metadherin (MTDH),E-cadherin and β-catenin in the tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),to investigate the relationship between them and the clinical-pathological features,and to evaluate the prognostic values after surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The protein expressions of MTDH,E-cadherin and β-catenin were studied by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissues of 107 HCC patients who underwent curative surgical resection.The data were correlated with the clinical-pathological data,tumor free time and recurrence rate.Results Positive expression of MTDH and nuclear β-catenin accumulation were correlated with the Edmondson grade (P＜0.05) and decreased E-cadherin expression was correlated with the preoperative serum level of α-fetoprotein (AFP) (P＜0.05).All these expressions were associated with a shorter tumor-free survival and a higher recurrence rate (P＜0.05).Positive MTDH expression was correlated with decreased E-cadherin expression and nuclear β-catenin accumulation (P＜0.05).On Cox regression analysis,MTDH was an independent risk factor of tumour recurrence (RR=3.431,CI=1.254～ 7.318).Conclusions Positive MTDH expression,decreased E-cadherin expression,and nuclear β-catenin accumulation indicated a higher recurrence rate after curative surgical resection for HCC.MTDH was an independent risk factor of recurrence.

Objective To detect K-ras mutations in plasma by a nano capture probe system , and to explore the diagnostic and prognostic value of this method for patients with pancreatic cancer .Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with pancreatic cancer , 38 patients with benign pancreatic diseases and 31 healthy controls admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing Medical College from June 2013 to June 2015 were collected.The diagnosis of all the patients were confirmed by pathology .The DNA were extracted from all plasma samples and were detected for the codon 12 and 13 mutation of K-ras gene by nano capture probe and conventional PCR plus direct sequencing .The correlation of K-ras gene mutation with certain clinical data and the diagnostic and prognostic value in pancreatic cancer were analyzed .Results The K-ras mutation were detected by nano capture probe in 27 pancreatic cancer patients , and the mutation rate was 43.5%(27/62), including 25 cases with codon 12 mutation and 2 cases with codon 13 mutation .The K-ras mutation rate in patients with benign pancreatic diseases was 7.9%(3/38), which were all in codon 12.K-ras mutation was detected in only 17 pancreatic cancer patients by conventional PCR plus direct sequencing , and the mutation rate was 27.4%(17/62), The K-ras mutation rate of benign pancreatic diseases was 5.3%(2/38).The mutation rate detected by nano capture probe was higher than that by conventional PCR , and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.006).K-ras mutation in the plasma of patients with pancreatic cancer was related to TMN stage and liver metastasis , but there was no correlation of the factors such as sex , age, clinical symptoms, tumor size, serum CA19-9 and CEA levels with K-ras mutation.The sensitivity of K-ras gene mutation for diagnosing pancreatic cancer was 43.5%, the specificity was 92.1%, the positive predictive value was 90%, the negative predictive value was 50%, Youden index was 0.356.The 1-year survival rate of patients with K-ras mutation was 44.4%, which was lower than that (71.4%) of patients with wild-type K-ras, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions The nano capture probe system could certainly detect K-ras mutation in a small quantity of plasma DNA , and its diagnosis sensitivity for pancreatic cancer is low , but the specificity is relatively high .K-ras mutation in plasma is closely related to the TMN stage and prognosis of pancreatic cancer .

Objective To investigate the incidence of occult pancreatobiliary reflux and to evaluate its relation to gallbladder epithelial dysplasia and cancer. Methods From July 2006 to Feb 2008,956 cases underwent selective biliary procedure or preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopanereatography (ERCP), bile was collected and amylase was measured. All removed gallbladders were pathologically examined for dysplasia and cancer. Results Occult pancreatobihary reflux was found in 75 of 754 patients in this study, with an incidence of 9. 9%. The biliary amylase values in the patients with occult pancreatobiliary reflux and in controls were 7701±20 378 IU/L and 16±51 IU/L, respectively ( P <0. 01 ).Gallbladder dysplasia and cancer were found in 31.0% and 3.4% of the patients with occult pancreatobiliaryreflux, respectively, and both were higher than those in the patients without pancreatobiliary reflux ( P <0. 05). In the patients with occult pancreatobiliary reflux, the biliary amylase level with gallbladder dysplasia or cancer was 2388 ± 2745 IU/L and was higher than those without gallbladder dysplasia or cancer (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions With an incidence of 9.9% in patients of normal pancreatobiliary junction,the occult pancreatobihary reflux may contribute to the pathogenesis of gallbladder epithelial dysplasia and cancer.

On the basis of analyzing the defects in traditional averaging theory for extracting evoked potential (EP), and by realizing the characteristic of spontaneous electroencephalo-signal (S-EES) as well as the special environment for extracting EP, we propose an auto-reference, auto-correlation, adaptive interference cancellation (AAA-ICT) for use in the single trial of flash visual evoked potential (FVEP). Firstly, the segment of reference signal, which has the best correlation with evoked electroencephalo-signal (E-EES), was obtained using the method for calculating the sliding correlation point by point between E-EES and reference signal; then, the cancellation factor between E-EES and the most correlative reference signal segment was derived by the least square method; at last, the single trial of FVEP was acquired by interference cancellation. By this method, FVEP can be extracted perfectly and the FVEP variability of individual inter-stimulation can be obtained.
