Objective To study the expressions of CA19-9 and CA125 and their clinicopathologic significances in gallbladder adenocarcinoma, pericancerous tissues and chronic cholecystitis. Methods EnVisionTM immunohistochemistry was used for assaying the expressive levels of CA19-9 and CA125 in the routinely paraffin-embedded sections of specimens from gallbladder adenocarcinoma (n=108), pericancerous tissues (n=46), and chronic cholecystitis (n=35). Results The positive rates of CA19-9 and CA125 were significantly higher in gallbladder adenocarcinoma (49.1%, 51.9%) than those in pericancerous tissues (26.1%, 15.2%) and chronic cholecystitis (14.3%, 5.7%), respectively (P

Objective To study the expressive levels of galectin-3 (gal-3) and sambucus nigra agglutinin(SNA) and to detect their clinicopathological significances in benign and malignant lesions of the gallbladder. Methods EnVisonTM Immunohistochemistry for assaying gal-3 expressive levels and ABC cytochemistry for determining SNA expressive levels were used in conventional paraffin-embedded sections from the specimens of adenocarcinoma (n = 108) , peritumoral tissues (n=46) . Adenomatous polyp (n=15), and chronic cholecystitis (n = 35). Results The positive rates of gal-3 and SNA were significantly higher in adenocarcinoma (62. 0%, 66. 7%) than in peritumoral tissues (39. 1%,45.6%), adenomatous polyp (26.7%, 33.3%) and chronic cholecystitis (11.4%, 11.4%)(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The positive gal-3 and SNA in benign cases showed atypical hyperplasia of the epthelium. The positive rates of gal-3 and SNA expression were significantly lower in well-differentiated adenocarcioma, mass with a maximal diameter of <2 cm, absence of lymph node metastasis,and absence of invasion to adjacent tissues than in poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma, mass with a maximal diameter of ≥2 cm, lymph node metastasis and invasion to adjacent tissues. (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). There was a significant correlation between the expressive levels of gal-3 and SNA in gallbladder adenocarcinoma (x2=9. 51, P<0. 01). Conclusions The expressive levels of gal-3 and SNA lectins had important effects on carcinogenesis, progression and biologic behaviors of gallbladder cancer. Patients with positive gal-3 and /or SNA expressions had poor prognosis.

Objective To observe the clinical effect oflamellar keratectomy+conjunctival flap+implanted artificial eyein stimulating the orbital and conjunctival sac growth. Methods A retrospective case study: 12 cases (12 eyes) with congenital microphthalmos in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in 2009-2013 were selected. In these cases, there were 11 cases of microphthalmos, and 1 patient due to congenital absence of the eye without surgery, were given direct implant of the artificial eye;7 patients without significant stenosis in conjunctival sac,received thelamellar keratectomy+conjunctival Flap+implantation of artificial eye, 4 patients with conjunctival sac stenosis recieved thelamellar keratectomy+conjunctival flap+implanted artificial eye+eyelid suture. Results For stunted children who couldn't wear a prosthetic eye, after treated withlamellar keratectomy + conjunctival flap + artificial eye implantation, the conjunctival sac developed well, cornea was covered with conjunctiva well and no exposure,the appearance and volume of orbit was also improved. ConclusionLamellar keratectomy+conjunctival flap+artificial eye implantsurgery is an effective way to promote orbital and conjunctival sac development of the children with congenital microphthalmos.

Objective To establish a tree shrew model of Fusarium solani keractitis by injecting Fusarium solani conidia into the corneal stroma.Methods Fusarium solani was inoculated into Sabouraud culture medium and incubated at 26℃ for 7 days.Fungal suspension was collected and the number of spores was adjusted to 1 × 1010 CFU /mL on the blood cell count plate.Forty healthy tree shrews were randomly divided into experimental group (n=30) and control group (n=10).In the experimental group, 50 μL of fungal spore suspension was injected into the cornea center with a 29G needle, and 50 μL saline was injected in the control group.The models were evaluated by anterior segment photography, in vivo confocal microscopy, histopathology, and corneal tissue culture.Results The fungal infiltration, the degree of edema of corneal epithelial and endothelial cells, and the number of mycelium were positively correlated with time.The number of infiltrating inflammatory cells, mainly, neutrophils, reached a peak on the 7th day after modeling.The mycelial growth was parallel to the stromal fibers.After the successful establishment of the model, the corneal tissue culture showed the growth of Fusarium solani.The successful rate of modeling was 86%.Conclusions The tree shrew model of Fusarium solani keratitis is established by injecting spores of Fusarium solani into the cornea.

Objective To compare the upper airway changes after H-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (H-UPPP) combined with transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty (PA) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods Eighty-six patients with OSAHS were selected,39 patients were treated with H-UPPP alone (control group),and 47 patients were treated with H-UPPP combined with PA (observation group).The upper airway changes were measured by CT and apnea hypopnea index (AHI) change in the 2 groups were compared before and after operation.Results The surgery effective rate in observation group was 80.9% (38/47),in control group was 56.4% (22/39),there was statistical difference (P < 0.05).The AHI depressed value before and after operation in observation group and control group were (40.5 ± 14.6) times/h and (16.7 ± 12.0) times/h respectively,the hard palate length depressed value were (5.5 ± 3.2) mm and (1.6 ± 0.2) mm respectively,the anteroposterior diameter incremental value of hard palate were (3.6 ± 2.3) mm and (-1.6 ± 3.4) mm respectively,the anteroposterior diameter incremental value of palate and pharynx were (1.6 ± 1.2) mm and (-1.2 ± 1.8) mm respectively,the above indexes in observation group were significantly better than those in control group,there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).The minimum diameter incremental value of retropalatal airway in control group was (13.2 ± 3.1) mm,in observation group was (4.9 ± 1.6) mm,there was statistical difference (P < 0.05).Conclusion H-UPPP combined with PA offers benefit over H-UPPP alone in patients with OSAHS,which may be achieved by increasing anteroposterior diameter of palate and pharynx.
