The use of muscle autograft denatured by microwave for repair of gaps in removal of facial neuromas]

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical value of muscle autograft denatured by microwave for repair of gaps in removal of facial neuromas. METHODS: Two cases of patients with facial nerve Schwann cell neuromas were reported. The operations for removal of facial neuromas were completed, and the gaps of the nerves were repaired with muscle autograft denatured by microwave of 250 W for 120 sec. RESULTS: The patients were followed up for two years, and the recovery of facial function on the affected sides were satisfactory. CONCLUSION: Muscle autograft denatured by microwave technique is convenient, highly efficient for repairing facial nerve gap after removal of facial neuroma.     

Laparoscopic Local Resection Based on Sentinel Node Evaluation for Early Gastric Cancer: A Preliminary Report

We previously reported that lymphatic mapping using isosulfan blue can be used to identify sentinel nodes (SNs). This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of using the SN technique in treating early gastric cancer and to explore its usefulness for minimal invasive surgery. Twenty-three patients with early gastric cancer who underwent SN biopsy were retrospectively evaluated. Based on SN evaluation, individualized surgery was performed in five patients with T1N0M0 gastric cancer. When pathological examination of frozen sections revealed metastasis in SNs, we performed a standard D2 gastrectomy. Laparoscopic local resection was applied when the SN biopsy was negative. Our results showed that the success rate with SN biopsy in early gastric cancer was 100%, as were the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. All five patients with early gastric cancer had SNs negative for metastases both by frozen section and by postoperative pathology. Thus, all these patients underwent laparoscopic local resection without extended lymphadenectomy. We conclude that SN biopsy is a useful tool to individualize the operative procedure, and laparoscopic local resection can be safely performed using SN guidance in selected patients with early gastric cancer.     

端粒酶逆转录酶、环氧化酶-2在乳腺癌中的表达及其意义

目的 探讨端粒酶逆转录酶(hTERT)和环氧化酶(cox)-2在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的表达及其临床意义.方法 使用免疫组织化学法分别检测45例乳腺浸润性导管癌和22例乳腺良性病变标本的hTERT和COX-2蛋白表达情况.结果 hTERT在乳腺浸润性导管癌中阳性表达率fig71.11%,明显高于乳腺良性病变9.09%,两者比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).hTERT阳性表达与乳腺浸润性导管癌患者的年龄、肿瘤大小、腋窝淋巴结转移情况及雌、孕激素表达水平无相关性(P>0.05),与Her-2表达存在显著相关性(P<0.05).COX-2在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的阳性表达率为82.22%,明显高于乳腺良性病变50.00%,两者比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).COX-2阳性表达与乳腺浸润性导管癌患者腋窝淋巴结转移情况、Her-2、ER阳性表达有关(P<0.05).在乳腺浸润性导管癌中hTERT阳性表达与COX-2阳性表达呈正相关(r=0.557,P<0.01).结论 hTERT与COX-2在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的表达显著高于在乳腺良性病变中的表达,hTERT与COX-2在乳腺癌的发生、发展中起重要作用.hTERT表达与COX-2表达存在显著相关性,COX-2的过度表达可能是端粒酶激活和调节的机制之一.     

维生素D受体基因多态性与汉族人群慢性牙周炎易感性的关系

目的 探讨维生素D受体(VDR)基因多态性与汉族人群慢性牙周炎(CP)易感性的关系。方法 收集汉族轻、中、重度CP患者共166例及80名无牙周炎对照者的颊黏膜拭子，以Chelex-100法提取DNA，采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法测定VDR BsmI、VDR ApaI和VDR TaqI的基因型，分析组间基因型分布和等位基因频率的差异。结果 轻、中、重度CP患者中VDR ApaI等位基因A携带者明显多于对照组，重度CP与中度CP、重度CP与轻度CP患者间VDR ApaI基因型的分布差异均有统计学意义，中度CP与轻度CP患者间VDR ApaI基因型分布差异无统计学意义，而VDR BsmI、TaqI位点的基因型分布在患者组和对照组间差异无统计学意义。结论 VDR ApaI等位基因A可能与汉族人群CP的易感性有关。     

外科交接班存在的问题及对策

对于新病人。护理人员可为病人拟订护理计划并自己执行护理活动。但多数时间。护理人员是连续其他护理人员已执行的护理活动，因此交接班的好坏对护理质量有极大的影响。做好充分的交接班准备和一个能把握住重点的报告，可以得到真实完整的资料，使护理活动一开始就进入良好状况，保证原来护理工作的连续进行，提高护理质量。为此，2004年5月-2006年5月我科开始规范临床护理交接班工作，收到较好的效果。现将工作中存在问题进行分析并提出对策。     

Inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system: a new avenue for atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is thought to be functionally active in atherosclerosis (AS) lesions. Aspirin was found to be a potent inhibitor of the UPS in some tumour studies; however, its effect on AS remains to be demonstrated in vivo. METHODS: New Zealand rabbits were placed on a normal diet (N) or on a normal diet with aspirin (NI) or on an atherogenic diet without (H) or with aspirin (HI) for 12 weeks. Proteasome activity, concentrations of plasma lipids and levels of peroxidation were determined. Ubiquitin/ubiquitin-conjugates (Ub), IkappaBalpha, phosphorylated IkappaB (pIkappaBalpha) and p65 were investigated by Western blotting or immunochemistry. RESULTS: Concentrations of plasma lipids and peroxidation levels were higher in H or HI vs. N or NI. Histological analysis showed that atheroma was increased in H. Ub and IkappaBalpha were mainly localised in subendothelium and media vascular smooth muscle cells. Western blots revealed that Ub, IkappaBalpha, and pIkappaBalpha were increased, whereas p65 was lower in HI vs. H. The activity of the 20S proteasome was functionally active in H vs. N, NI or HI, while the 26S proteasome was not affected in any of the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Aspirin can attenuate the pathogenesis of atheroma formation, the degradation of IkappaBalpha and pIkappaBalpha, and lower the expression of p65, indicating that its therapeutic effects on AS may be via inhibition of the UPS.
