ABSTRACT
Background Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) is a congenital and autosomal recessive hereditary eye disease characterized by multiple glistening intraretinal crystals scattered over the fundus.Studies determined abnormality of fatty acid metabolism probably is associated with BCD.However,the study on the alteration of blood lipid level in BCD patients is rare.Objective This trail was to study the change of serum lipids in BCD patients.Methods A total of 50 patients with bilateral BCD and 50 matched healthy volunteers were included from November 2011 to March 2013 in Beijing Tongren Eye Center with the approval of Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medial examination.Peripheral blood of 3 ml was collected from the subjects.The serum concentrations of triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured and analyzed.The examination outcome was identified based on the criteria of China Adult Dyslipidemia Prevention Guideline (Version 2007).Results Abnormality of serum lipid content was detected in 58.00％ patients (29/50),and hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesteremia were in 34.48％ (10/29),respectively,and mixed hyperlipidaemia was in 27.59 ％ (8/29).The serum levels of TG,TC and LDL-C were (1.63± 1.19) mmol/L,(5.10±1.05) mmol/L and (3.27±0.97) mmol/L in the BCD group,which were significantly higher than (0.93± 0.33) mmol/L,(4.33 ±0.56) mmol/L,(2.63 ±0.51) mmol/L of the normal group (t =4.036,4.496,4.095,all at P=0.000).Conclusions The serum lipid levels elevate in BCD patients,which might be related to the occurrence of BCD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the association between Cyclin D1 and metastasis and determine the relationship between Cyclin D1 proteins expression and P21 WAF1?P53 proteins in ovarian cancer.Methods:Cyclin D1,P21 WAF1 and P53 proteins were detected from 61 ovarian carcinoma and 7 ovarian tissues without cancer by using Western blot method.Results:The positive rate of Cyclin D1 and P53 proteins expression in cases with ovarian cancer were significantly higher than those in without cancer tissues(P0.05).However, the expression of P21 WAF1 protein was correlated with clinical stages(P0.05).The expression of Cyclin D1,P53 and P21 WAF1 protein in ovarian carcinoma were related to metastasis(P

ABSTRACT
Some patients with cervix cancer occurred effusion in the uterine cavity after radiotherapy, 18 cases of them were given hysterectomy. 55.6 percent of the cases occured in 2 years after radiotherapy. The clinical manifestations were lower abdominal mass and pain. There were signs such as enlarged uterus or pelvic mass. It was found that the uterine body had malignancy in 16 cases and the cervix in 11 cases after operation. The causes of effusion were probably the adhension of upper vagina and cervix tube, secondary carcinoma and recurrence of cervix tumor. Therefore, these patients have to be treated actively, and prevention must be paid attention to.
