Relationsip between PTEN and VEGF Expression and Clinicopathological Characteristics in HCC

Recent reports have identified that phosphatase and tensin homlog deleted on chromosome ten protein (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene in the human body with a double-specific phosphatase activity of lipid phosphatase and protein phosphatase[1]. Vascular endo-thelial growth factor (VEGF) is known as one of the ut-most factors stimulating tumor blood vessel growth. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a solid malignant tumor, whose growth is rapid, with frequent intrahepatic dissemination and m…     

肝主疏泄与心理免疫的关系初探

心理免疫属于中医所述情志的范畴.通过对肝主疏泄与心理免疫相关性的研究,欲从与精神因素有密切关系的心理免疫角度探讨肝主疏泄在肝病临床中的重要意义.大量的临床实践也表明,心理及精神的调节对肝病的治疗、预后同保健、环境因素、药物治疗一样有着不可忽视的作用.肝病患者在病程中由于压力会产生各种各样的心理障碍,这些因素都直接影响着肝病治疗的效果.可见,调节情志,改善心身机能状态在肝病的治疗方面起着重要的作用.

Risk Factors of Gastric Cancer in Wuwei City- an Endemic Region of Gastric Cancer

OBJECTIVE Studies have shown that risk factors of gastric cancer include living habits, eating moldy pickled food, dystrophy, lack of nutrients, and genetics, etc. This study explores the prevalence of these factors in Wuwei, a city in northwest China with a high incidence of gastric cancer.METHODS Family histories of the residents in Wuwei City were investigated with a case-control method. Segregation ratio and heredity degree of gastric cancer were calculated using theLi-Mantel-Cart and Falconer's regression methods. Chronic gastritis patients were followed-up by home visits, gastroscopy, and pathology. Carcinogenic fungi and volatilile N-nitroso compounds were noted in the residents' meals. Helicobactor pylori (Hp) was assessed in their gastric mucosa and the total content of serum vitamin C in 293 healthy adults was determined.RESULTS In Wuwei City, the segregation ratio of gastric cancer was 0.077. The heredity degree of first-degree relatives was 22.91%. The incidence rate of cancer per year in people in an atrophic gastritis group was 1.09%. Eight kinds of nitrosamines and 14 kinds of carcinogenic fungi were detected in the residents' food. Total average vitamin C in the serum of the 293 healthy adults in the summer was 5.74±2.79 mg/L. The positive rate of Hp in gastric mucosa of the residents was 67%.CONCLUSION The majorextrinsic factors include infection of Hp, atrophic gastritis (especially atrophic hyperplasia), and genetic susceptibility.     

干细胞相关基因Nestin在胃神经内分泌肿瘤中的表达及临床意义

目的 研究干细胞相关基因Nestin在胃神经内分泌肿瘤中的表达,分析其与肿瘤生物学特点及患者生存时间的关系。 方法 应用组织芯片及免疫组织化学法,检测91例胃神经内分泌肿瘤标本及正常组织中Nestin的表达,并结合胃神经内分泌肿瘤不同病理亚型、临床病理参数和患者预后进行分析。 结果 91例中,27例(29.67%)胃神经内分泌癌表达Nestin,而胃神经内分泌瘤及正常胃黏膜组织均不表达Nestin。Nestin表达与胃神经内分泌癌患者的性别、肿瘤浸润深度、脉管侵犯及TNM分期有显著相关性。Kaplan-Meier曲线显示,Nestin阳性表达的胃神经内分泌癌患者生存率显著低于阴性表达组。 结论 Nestin在胃神经内分泌肿瘤不同的病理亚型间差别表达,Nestin的表达可能促进了胃神经内分泌癌的发生发展,并可能作为胃神经内分泌癌的干细胞标记物用于判断预后。     

新生儿细菌性脑膜炎预后不良的危险因素分析

目的 探讨新生儿细菌性脑膜炎预后不良的危险因素。方法 回顾性分析152例细菌性脑膜炎新生儿的临床资料,根据转归分为预后良好组（n=122）与预后不良组（n=30）,比较两组患儿的一般情况、首发症状及实验室检查结果,分析预后不良的危险因素。结果 预后不良组极低出生体重、外周血WBC < 5×10⁹/L或 > 20×10⁹/L、C-反应蛋白 > 50 mg/L、脑脊液WBC > 500×10⁶/L、脑脊液糖 < 1 mmol/L、脑脊液蛋白 > 2 g/L比例高于预后良好组（P < 0.05）,血培养和/或脑脊液培养阳性率、革兰阳性菌及无乳链球菌培养阳性率高于预后良好组（P < 0.05）。多因素logistic回归分析显示,脑脊液糖 < 1 mmol/L、脑脊液蛋白 > 2 g/L是新生儿细菌性脑膜炎预后不良的独立危险因素。结论 脑脊液糖 < 1 mmol/L、脑脊液蛋白 > 2 g/L是新生儿细菌性脑膜炎预后不良的危险因素。     

试论岳甫嘉医案中不育的诊治思维

岳甫嘉诊病重视脉症合参,尤以诊脉见长;处方多用中和之剂,收固真阴,反对过用热药,耗散精血。诊治思维贯穿其著作《妙一斋医学正印种子编》上卷所载验案。此卷专门论述男性不育的诊治,虽仅载验案八则,但八者皆奇,诊治结合,涵盖多法,可归纳为“先清热毒,再施温补”“药用滑涩,当辨标本”“先治脾,后治肾”“脾肾同治”“先祛痰火,再滋肾阴”及“交通心肾”6类,诸法之中的诊治思维,蕴含奥妙,颇具特色,特作探析。     

Comparison of lifestyle behaviors and related factors between Asian American and white adults with prediabetes

This study compares lifestyle behaviors and related factors between Asian American and white adults with self‐reported prediabetes and identifies covariates/predictors for regular physical activity and adequate intake of fruits/vegetables. Using data from the United States of America Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 302 Asian Americans and 9558 white adults were analyzed. There were no significant differences for participating in regular physical activity or consumption of adequate fruits/vegetables between the two groups. Overall, 40% of the respondents engaged in regular physical activity, whereas less than 25% reported an adequate intake of fruits/vegetables. In the adjusted models, compared to white, Asian Americans were less likely to have impaired physical (OR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.36 0.80) or mental health (OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.61), or cardiovascular diseases (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.87). The covariates/predictors that relate to the behaviors differed between the groups. We conclude that interventions to increase physical activity and healthy eating for Asian American and white adults with prediabetes should address the different covariates/predictors for each group.
