Study on Singularity of Chaotic Signal Based on Wavelet Transform

INTRODUCTION The significant information of a signal is often carried by singular characteristics or irregular struc-tures of the signal, for example, the most important information of ECG(electrocardiogram) or EEG isoften presented at the transient points of a signal, such as those points near peaks. The singular charac-teristics of these transient points are more obvious than the smooth parts of signals. Therefore,to studythe singularity of a signal is a meaningful work. Those analysi…     

乳腺癌广泛导管内癌成分与组织蛋白酶D Ki-67及单链DNA表达的关系及临床意义

目的 探讨乳腺癌广泛导管内癌成分（extensive intraductal component，EIC）、粉刺状坏死（comedo necrosls）、组织学分级与组织蛋白酶D（eathepsin D）、Kiab7、单链DNA（ssDNA）及c-erbB-2表达的关系。方法检测日本德岛乳腺门诊与东德岛医院1996年1月至1997年4月连续手术切除的59例乳腺浸润性导管癌标本。用免疫组化方法，检测59例乳腺浸润性导管癌中组织蛋白酶D（eathepsin D）、Ki-67、单链DNA及c-erbB-2的表达。结果EIC阳性组，肿瘤上皮细胞中的组织蛋白酶D为高表达（P=0．021），肿瘤间质细胞中的组织蛋白酶D表达差异无显著性意义。粉刺状坏死的出现，与c-erbB-2癌基因、肿瘤上皮细胞中的组织蛋白酶D和细胞增殖指数相关（P分别为0．042，0．006及0．013）。结论肿瘤上皮细胞中的组织蛋白酶D可能参与了EIC与粉刺状坏死的形成。EIC与粉刺状坏死的检测有临床应用价值。     

~(123)I-MIBG心肌显像预测依那普利对扩张型心肌病患者治疗效果的临床价值

目的探讨123I-MIBG心肌显像在治疗前预测依那普利对扩张型心肌病(DCM)患者治疗效果的临床价值。方法对24例DCM患者于依那普利治疗前行早期(20min)及延迟(3h)123I-MIBG心肌显像,采用心/上纵隔(H/M)比和心脏放射性洗脱率(WR)作为相对半定量计数分析,与超声心功能参数进行对比。根据123I-MI-BG心肌显像延迟相的H/M分为3组延迟H/M≥1.7为组Ⅰ,1.5<延迟H/M<1.7为组Ⅱ,延迟H/M≤1.5为组Ⅲ。组Ⅰ和组Ⅱ在平均治疗4.5个月后重复以上检查。结果治疗前3组间超声心功能参数比较均无统计学差异。治疗后组Ⅰ的左室射血分数(LVEF)和左室收缩末径(LVDs)明显改善,早期H/M和延迟H/M均明显改善(P<0.05),而WR无明显变化。治疗后组Ⅱ的延迟H/M明显改善(P<0.05),而早期H/M和WR均无明显变化,心功能参数也无改善。组Ⅰ和组Ⅱ患者均能耐受依那普利治疗,而组Ⅲ患者均不能耐受依那普利治疗。结论123I-MIBG心肌显像在治疗前预测依那普利对DCM患者的治疗效果方面有一定价值。     

Total and free tissue factor pathway inhibitor in pregnancy hypertension.

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the role played by tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) in pregnancy hypertension. METHODS: Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, hemostatic measurements were obtained for women with pre-eclampsia (n=51), nonproteinuric hypertension of pregnancy (n=62), postpartum pre-eclampsia 24 h after childbirth (n=31), and no hypertension (healthy pregnant controls, n=100). RESULTS: There was a significant increase in circulating free TFPI levels in women with pre-eclampsia (9.7+/-6.2 ng/mL) or nonproteinuric hypertension of pregnancy (8.3+/-5.3 ng/mL) compared with healthy controls (5.3+/-2.1 ng/mL). In women with pre-eclampsia the levels remained elevated after placental delivery (10.6+/-4.0 ng/mL). Free protein S levels were significantly higher in women with pre-eclampsia (40.0%+/-10.7%), nonproteinuric hypertension of pregnancy (37.1%+/-12.5%), or postpartum pre-eclampsia (39.3%+/-9.1%) than in healthy pregnant controls (32.2%+/-8.5%). CONCLUSION: Increased levels of the physiologically active free forms of TFPI and free protein S, 2 coagulation inhibitors, may protect women with pregnancy-induced hypertension from the risks of hemostatic activation.     

Detection of human papillomavirus in organs of upper genital tract in women with cervical cancer

In this study, we evaluated the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in organs of the female upper genital tract, using nine hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy specimens affected by HPV-positive invasive cervical carcinomas, to establish if cervical HPV infection can spread to upper tracts of the female genital system. HPV DNA was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in all cervical carcinomas as well as in all tracts of the genital system. Then, these data were compared with the results obtained from PCR study of five other hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy specimens (control cases). The criteria used for selection of the control cases were informed consent of the patients for research at the time of surgery, absence of neoplasms, absence of any anatomic lesion caused by HPV in cervix, and external genitalia. All selected cases were squamous cervical carcinomas. PCR analysis revealed HPV DNA in all cases of cervical carcinoma. The HPV DNA was detected as weak positivity on PCR analysis in other organs of the genital system. However, the distribution of HPV DNA varied in the various cases and in the different tracts of the same hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy specimen. We believe that the HPV DNA, detected as a weakly positive signal, in the upper genital tract of patients who have a cervical squamous carcinoma could be a reflection of a latent HPV infection, as well as a sign of the existence of micrometastases containing HPV DNA, which cannot be detected by conventional histologic techniques.     

Arsenic trioxide exposure to ovarian carcinoma cells leads to decreased level of topoisomerase II and cytotoxicity

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) on topoisomerase II levels using western blotting method on MDAH 2774 ovarian carcinoma cell culture. Experimental designs were established to determine the cytotoxic effects of As(2)O(3) on MDAH 2774 cells and the IC50 (fatal dose for the 50% of cells) value. Cytotoxicity experiments were carried out using various concentrations of As(2)O(3). The 2,3-bis[2-methyloxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) and trypan blue dye-exclusion tests were used to evaluate cytotoxicity. Topoisomerase II expressions were investigated using western blotting method with various concentrations of As(2)O(3). Densitometric analysis of topoisomerase 2 bands was carried out using Quantity One 1-D analysis software (Bio-Rad USA, Life Science Research, Hercules, CA). IC50 value of As(2)O(3) was found to be 5 x 10(-6) M for MDAH 2774 cells. When the bands were evaluated, it was observed that there was a decrease in topoisomerase II levels in MDAH 2774 cells with increasing concentrations of As(2)O(3). It was also observed by the densitometric analysis that topoisomerase II expression ratios of MDAH 2774 cells were decreased by approximately 50% at this concentration. Topoisomerase II levels were significantly decreased with the increasing concentrations of As(2)O(3). Inhibition of topoisomerase II enzyme was one of the antiproliferative influence mechanisms of As(2)O(3).
