ABSTRACT
Objective:To detect the expressions of survivin, galectin-3 and thyroid peroxidase in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma ( PTMC) and cancer adjacent normal tissue to explore the clinical significant.The correlations between the expressions of survivin,Gal-3 and TPO with BRAFV600E gene mutation in PTMC were analyzed.Methods: The expressions of survivin,Gal-3 and TPO were measured by immunohistochemical ( IHC ) method in 56 cases of PTMC tissue and adjacent normal tissue; BRAFV600E mutation was detected by PCR amplification and subsequently sequencing.Chi square test was used to analyse the relation in the expression rates of survivin,Gal-3 and TPO and BRAFV600E gene mutation.Results:The survivin and Gal-3 were strongly expressed but TPO was negatively expressed.The survivin and Gal-3 were negative in adjacent normal tissues but TPO was expressed.There were sig-nificant differences in the expression rates of survivin, Gal-3 and TPO between PTMC tissue and adjacent normal tissue (all P0.05).There were no correlation was found between the expressions of survivin,Gal-3,TPO and the BRAFV600E gene mutation in PTMC(all P>0.05).Conclusion: The strong expressions of survivin and Gal-3,the mild expression of TPO and BRAF mutation may be important in the development of PTMC,and the detection of BRAFV600E gene mutation and the expressions of survivin, Gal-3 and TPO could be used to the judgment of pathogenetic condition and prognostic outcomes.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the long-term effects of low dosage Changle intake on the serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen of rats. Methods The levels of serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen in rat were measured by radioimmunoassay and microscopy image analysis system after 6 and 7 months of administrated with Changle(0. 1, 0.2, 2.0 and 10.0 mg/kg). Results Taken Changle for 6 months, the serum insulin level in the 10.0 mg/kg group reduced, hepatocyte glycogen level increased in the female and the male rats. In 0.1, 0.2, and 2.0 mg/kg groups, the serum insulin level increased and the hepatocyte glycogen level decreased in the male. After 6 months of the Changle treatment, the treatment was then followed by normal food, one month later, the level of serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen returned to the normal level. Conclusion A long-term low dosage exposure of Changle can induce the serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen changes in rats and the serum insulin and hepatocyte glycogen levels may return to the normal levels after a short time of stopping Changle intake.
