Two novel gastric cancer-associated genes identified by differential display

AIM To clone novel gastric cancer-associated genes and investigate their roles in gastric cancer occurrence.METHODS A method called differential display was used which allows the identification of differentially expressed genes by using PAGE to display PCR-amplified cDNA fragments between gastric cancer cells and normal gastric mucosa cells. These fragments were cloned into plasmid vector pUC18. Homology analysis was made after sequencing these fragments.RESULTS Two novel genes were identified compared with sequences from GenBank. One was registered with the AD number AF 051783. In situ hybridization showed that these two novel genes expressed specifically in gastric cancer tissues.CONCLUSION The two novel genes obtained by differential display were confirmed to be gastric cancer-associated genes using in situ hybridization.     

Visualization of patent foramen ovale by biplanar transesophageal echocardiography

Summary It is difficult for conventional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), by which precise and accurate images of interatrial septum (IAS) can not be acquired, to diagnose patent foramen ovale (PFO) clearly. To evaluate the diagnostic value of biplanar transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for PFO, TTE and biplanar TEE were performed simultaneously in 270 patients. It was found that in 7 patients patent foramen ovale was detected only through longitudinal planes of biplanar TEE. IAS, which consists of primitive septum and membrane of fossa ovalis, can be directly visualized by two-dimensional images of TEE; in patients with PFO, a dull color flow, which shunts from the right atria to the left atria through the gap between primitive septum and fossa ovalis, can be detected by color Doppler flow images. Furthermore, some right-to-left shunting microbubbles through the valve of patent fossa ovalis can be discovered by cardiac acoustic contrast echocardiography. In conclusion, biplanar TEE combined with color Doppler image and cardiac acoustic contrast facilitates a definite diagnosis of patent foramen ovale as the excellent anatomic images of IAS can be obtained from multiple views under this kind of performance.     

儿童慢性轻度哮喘治疗的临床研究

目的　探讨 3～ 8岁儿童慢性轻度哮喘的早期干预治疗方法。方法　将 12 0例 3～ 8岁慢性轻度哮喘患儿随机均分为治疗组 1、2和对照组。治疗组 1:3～ 5岁患儿口服孟鲁司特 (顺尔宁 ) 4 .0mg/d ,5～ 8岁服5 .0mg/d ,疗程 3～ 6个月 ;治疗组 2 :予口服盐酸西替利嗪 2 .5～ 5 .0mg/d ,疗程 3～ 6个月 ;对照组 :口服安慰剂。均于每日睡前服用。结果　与治疗组 2及对照组相比 ,治疗组 1的日间及夜间症状出现率、急性加重发生率、月均 β 受体激动剂使用率、峰值呼气流速 (PEF)变化、嗜酸性粒细胞计数 (EC)下降率的差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 1) ,而住院率、药物不良反应率的差异无显著性 (P >0 .0 5 )。治疗组 2与对照组EC值的差异有显著性 (P <0 .0 1) ,其余指标的差异均无显著性 (P值均 >0 .0 5 )。结论　白三烯受体拮抗剂孟鲁司特单独用于慢性轻型哮喘儿童的早期干预治疗具有疗效好、不良反应小及患儿依从性高的特点     

全喉切除改良气管-咽吻合Ⅰ期发声重建术

目的：探讨全喉切除Ⅰ期发声重建术的改进术式。方法：采用低位气管切开，全喉切除，食管前壁黏膜重建声门，气管切口处造瘘．颈段气管上提并缩窄吻合于舌根的方法行全喉切除及Ⅰ期发声重建木35例。结果：33例(94．29％）术后获得了不同程度的发声功能．不能发声者仅2例(5．71％)。全部患者术后均可经口进食，未出现严重的影响生存质量的误咽。结论：与以往的发声重建术相比，本术式具有发声成功率高、发声质量良好、误咽率低等优点，且无须置人人工发声装置．值得推广。
