ObjectiveTo study the expression of EZH2 gene in cervical squamous carcinoma and its clinicopathologic significance. MethodsThe expression of EZH2 mRNA was detected in 21 samples of normal cervical tissue, 27 samples of CIN tissue and 48 samples of cervical squamous carcinoma tissue by RT-PCR. And the relationship between EZH2 expression and the clinical pathological characteristic was analyzed. ResultsThe level of EZH2 mRNA in cervical squamous carcinoma tissues(1.67±0.01)were significantly higher than that in the normal cervical tissues (0) and CIN tissues (0.36±0.02) (P ＜ 0.01).There was no correlation between EZH2 and ages (P ＞ 0.05), while the expression of EZH2 was highly correlated with histologic stage,clinical stage,muscular invasion depth and lymph node metastasis of cervical squamous carcinoma (P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionThe over-expression of the EZH2mRNA may play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of cervical squamous carcinoma,suggesting that EZH2 might be a new biomarker for diagnosing cervical squamous carcinoma.

Objective To study the relationship between serum leptin and fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B incorporate alcoholic liver disease(CHB + ALD) patients.Methods Select 17 male patients with CHB+ALD,15 male patients with liver cirrhosis(LC) ,19 male patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and 12 male healthy persons as normal control(NC).Serum leptin is detected by ELISA in 63 patients.Serum levels of fibrosis markers(HA,LN,PC HI ,IV-C) are determined at the same time.Results Serum leptin level in CHB +ALD are significantly higher than those of the NC(6.79±24.12) μg/L vs (4.27±7.18 ) μg/L (P＜0.05).There is no significant difference between patients with CHB and the NC.The four fibrosis markers in CHB + ALD patients are significantly higher than that of men both in the CHB and the NC.There are significant correlations between both serum leptin level and quadrinomial fibrosis markers(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).Conclusion That serum leptin level is one aecelerate gene in the fibrosis formation in patients with CHB+ALD.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endovascular interventional minimally invasive techniques in treatment of acute brachial artery injury.Methods A retrospective case series study was designed to analyzed data of 16 cases (11 males and 5 females) sustaining acute brachial artery injury treated from March 2011 to August 2016.Mean age was 47.9 years (range,27-66 years).Left upper extremity vascular injury occurred in 7 cases and right upper extremity vascular injury occurred in 9.There were 13 cases of arterial intima injury and 3 of arterial pseudoaneurysm.All patients underwent endovascular therapy including stent implantation and balloon dilatation.Angiography was used to evaluate the repair of brachial artery and the operation time was recorded.Improvements of distal limb arterial pulse and limb ischemic symptoms were observed,and the patients who were followed up with stent lumen stenosis more than 50％ received endovascular treatment again.Results The procedures was successful in all patients,with operation time of 30-75 minutes (mean,45 minutes).After the insertion of a stent,recovered brachial artery blood flow and disappeared pseudoaneurysm were observed on angiography,without occurrence of stent stenosis or contrast extravasation.Symptoms of local pain and numbness were alleviated,and blood supply of the distal brachial artery was improved after operation.All patients were followed up for 3-36 months(mean,16.7 months).The false aneurysm did not recur.Two cases of stent stenosis more than 50％ had a second balloon dilation procedure and the blood flow returned to normal.Stent patency was found in 14 cases with stent stenosis of less than 50％.During the follow-up period,no ischemic necrosis,displacement of the stent or stent fracture were found.Conclusion For acute brachial artery injury,endovascular management exhibits higher technical success rate and good clinical outcome with a low incidence of complications.

Objective To study the effects of rAAV2/1-Acrp30 on sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 level as well as NF-?B expression in GK rats with diabetic arteriosclerosis so as to explore the effect of adiponectin on diabetic macroangiopathy. Methods A total number of 30 atherosclerotic GK rat models were randomly divided into three groups:① Model group one (M1):hind limb intramuscular injection of normal saline; ② Model group two (M2):hind limb intramuscular injection of vacuity virus rAAV2/1; ③ Treatment group (T):hind limb intramuscular injection of rAAV2/1-Acrp30 at a dose of 1?1012mg/L. After 8 weeks' treatment,the rats were killed,and serum sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 level as well as aortic NF-?Bp65mRNA expression were measured in each group. Aortic NF-?Bp65mRNA expression was measured by RT-PCR.Results Compared with those in control model groups (M1 and M2),sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 levels were decreased significantly in the treatment (T) group (P

Objective To understand the relationship between clinical manifestations and Kashin-Beck disease(KBD) and their contribution to diagnosis of KBD and to construct the diagnosis model for KBD in adolescents.Methods A total of 2248 subjects under the age of 18 were collected from 6 KBD endemic and 1 non-KBD areas of the Shaanxi province in China.Analysis of 32 indicators,including gender,age,and KBD clinical indicators.Indicators of the distribution of measurement data between the two groups using t test and analysis of variance,x2 test with count data,multi-category ordered response variables Logistic regression analysis for model building.Results It showed the KBD prevalence rate in adolescent had an increasing tendency with age.Analysis of indicators between the two groups,in addition to the age factor(P ＜ 0.05),the difference of ankle pain,knee pain,wrist movement disorder and other 5 indicators(P ＜ 0.05) and the last bend,elbow movement disorder,syndactyly and other 9 indicators(P ＜ 0.01 ) were statistically significant.Sixteen clinical and radiographic features in the clinical manifestations were significantly related with the clinical severity grading with KBD(P ＜ 0.01 ).Four models on the diagnostic indictors were constructed by cumulative logit model for adolescent KBD (-21ogL,Score,Wald x2 test,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions The establishment of the diagnostic model based on their contribution of the joint involvement in systemic performance-related indicators has an important role for clinical diagnosis of KBD.

This study is to establish a cell-based model targeting to neuraminidase (NA) of the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus. NA is an influenza virus structural protein with enzymatic activity of the cleavage of HA-sialic acid interaction to release new viral particles from cells. A model of HIV-1 (pNL4-3.Luc.R(-)E(-)) based pseudovirions packed with HA [hemagglutinin, A/VietNam/1203/2004 (H5N1)] and NA [A/California/04/2009 (H1N1)] was established to evaluate compounds activities on NA function. The viral release can be blocked by neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate, with IC50 of (61 +/- 31) nmol L(-1) and (5.5 +/- 2.9) nmol L(-1) respectively. A point mutation of H275Y on NA leads oseltamivir-resistance. This corresponding mutation was introduced into the system which was also confirmed by oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate.
