ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the quantification and significance of Msx2, topoII-α; HPV16 and VEGF in sinonasal inverted papilloma(SNIP), to study the correlation among the four factors,and to discover the relationship between Msx2 and topoII-α in the process of SNIP malignant transfomation.@*METHOD@#Real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of Msx2, topoII-α, HPV16 and VEGF in 13 cases of sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), 10 cases of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma(NSCC) and 10 cases of inflammatory nasal polyp paraffin (INP)tissues. According to the pathology results SNIP were divided into mild dysplasia, moderate dysplasia and severe dysplasia. All the data were analysised by SPSS17. 0, P<0. 05 was refered to statistically significant difference.@*RESULT@#The mRNA level of Msx2, topoII-α, VEGF and HPV16 in SNIP, NSCC tissues were significantly higher than in the INP tissues (P<0. 05). The expression differences of Msx2, topoII-α, HPV16 and VEGF mRNA level in SNIP tissues which were divided into three groups according to their pathological results,were all statistically significantly different between any two of the three groups (P< 0. 05). Using Pearson correlation coefficient analysis,we found positive correlation between any two of the mRNA level of Msx2, topoII-α, VEGF and HPV16 (P<0. 05).@*CONCLUSION@#Msx2 and topoII-α may play an important role in the process of SNIP Malignant transformation,which may be new targets for gene therapy of SNIP and NSCC.

Objective To study the expression of monocyte chemotactic factor -1(MCP-1) and fibronectin (FN ) in secondary acquired middle ear cholesteatoma epithelium ,and to investigate the ability of cholesteatoma of e-rosion .Methods MaxVisionTM immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of MCP -1 and FN in the secondary acquired middle ear cholesteatoma tissues from 30 patients ,in the retroauricular skin from 20 pa-tients and in the retroauricular skin from 16 normal subjects .Then we scanned it into a computer by an image scan-ner and quantified the gray value of them using commercial software .Results MCP-1 appeared to be localized in all epithelial layers of middle ear cholesteatoma ,particularly in the spinous layers .The positive expression rates of MCP-1 was 70% ,the gray value was 147 .2 ± 20 .1 ,which were siginificantly higher than those of in the retroau-ricular skin from patients(35% ,200 .8 ± 18 .4)and from normal subjects(37 .5% ,193 .3 ± 15 .5)(P<0 .05) .The ex-pression of FN in all epithelial layers of middle ear cholesteatoma were abundantly stained ,especially in the basal and spinous layers and the matrix of cholesteatoma .The positive expression rates of FN was 76 .7% ,the gray value was 147 .2 20 .1 ,which were siginificantly higher than those of in the retroauricular skin from patients (30% ,195 .0 ± 12 .9)and from normal subjects(31 .3% ,191 .6 ± 13 .5)(P<0 .05) .It showed statistically significant correlation between the expression of MCP -1 and FN and the erosion ability of middle ear cholesteatoma (rmcp-1 = -0 .682 , rfn = -0 .531 ,P<0 .01) .There was not linear correlation between the expression of MCP -1 and FN .Conclusion MCP-1 and FN are overexpressed in middle ear cholesteatoma .There was correlation between the expression of MCP-1 or FN and the erosion ability of middle ear cholesteatoma ,indicating that MCP -1 and FN may play an im-portant roles in invasive behavior of cholesteatoma .
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and significance of muscle segment homeobox2 (Msx2) and topo II-alpha in sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), and the relationship in the process of malignant transformation of SNIP.@*METHOD@#Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in 32 cases of SNIP, 30 cases of inflammatory nasal polyp (INP) and 30 cases of SNIP with carcinoma. According to the pathology results, SNIP were divided into mild atypical hyperplasia, moderate atypical hyperplasia and severe atypical hyperplasia.@*RESULT@#The mean optical density of Msx2 in SNIP and SNIP with carcinoma tissues were 0.2183 +/- 0.0598 and 0.2521 +/- 0.0761,which were significantly higher than 0.1878 +/- 0. 0372 in the INP tissue (P<0.05 or 0.01). The mean optical density of topo II-alpha in SNIP and SNIP with carcinoma tissues were 0.2303 +/- 0.0397 and 0.2666 +/- 0.0483, which were significantly higher than 0.1978 +/- 0.0388 in the NIP tissue (P<0.01). There were significant difference of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in SNIP between any two of the three groups divided according to pathological morphology (P<0.01 or 0.05). The expression of Msx2 and topo II-alpha in SNIP were positively correlated (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Msx2 and topo II-alpha may play an important role in the occurrence and development of SNIP. So it can be used as new therapeutic targets.

BACKGROUND: The gold nanoparticles have a killing effect on tumor cells.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of gold nanochain on Hep-2 cells proliferation of human laryngeal carcinoma.METHODS: The gold nanochain was prepared by a glucose synthesis method and added into the culture cells with different concentrations (10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 95%) to test the influence on proliferation of in vitro cultured Hep-2 cells. The endocytosis and exocytosis of transmembrane when gold nanochain attached to Hep-2 cells were observed by electron microscopy.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The gold chain at high concentrations (75%, 95%) exhibited inhibitory effects on the proliferation of Hep-2 cells, but the influence was not increased with increasing concentration, belonging to a range of non-toxic. Gold nanchain can enter into Hep-2 cells after 8 hours of co-culture and leave cells after 48 hours, indicating gold nanoparticles chain can enter and leave Hep-2 freely.
