ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the clinical characters,diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyoidism (PHPT).Methods The diagnosis,treatment and efficacy of 35 cases of PHPT were retrospectively reviewed.Results PHPT presented a variety of clinical manifestations,and occoured to different age groups without significant gender differences.All the 35 cases had elevated blood calcium and PTH.All patients underwent preoperative ultrasonography and 99Tcm-MIB imaging,and the positive rates were 68.6％ and 97.1％ respectively.34 patients received surgical treatment,among whom 30 cases had parathyroid adenoma,1 case had parathyroid hyperplasia and 3 cases had parathyroid carcinoma.Through operation,31 cases were cured,2 cases improved,and 1 case of parathyroid carcinoma suffered from lung metastasls.Conclusions PHPT can be diagnosed according to co-elevated serum calcium and PTH.Ultrasonography combined with 99Tcm-MIB imaging should be recommend for preoperative localization.The main cause of PHPT is solitary parathyroid adenoma.PTPT can be cured by surgery.Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with accurate location is an efficient surgical strategy,and the prognosis is favorable.
ABSTRACT
Each woman of childbearing age has the right to enjoy reproduction, including cancer patients. Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. Many factors led to the significant increase of young patients with fertility problems, and the majority of doctors neglected their reproductive requirements in clinical work. Given the comprehensive treatment, almost every young patient suffers from fertility decline and even loss. Patients who chose to get pregnant also harbor a variety of concerns. This paper reviews the effects of comprehensive treatment on fertility, preservation strategies, pregnancy and prognosis, optimal time for pregnancy, and other aspects and provides guidance for young breast cancer patients in their reproduction choices.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the expression and localization of apoptosis-related protein TFAR19 in TF-1 cells undergoing apoptosis. Methods: Using monoclonal antibody against TFAR19, the expression level and cell localization of TFAR19 were examined by fluorescence microscope, confocal laser scan microscope(CLSM) and flow cytometry. Simultaneously, we also analyzed the relationship of TFAR19 protein with phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization and cell nuclear DNA fragmentation. Results: The level of TFAR19 proteins expressed in TF-1 cells treated with GM-CSF withdrawal was significantly increased compared with normal TF-1 cells, then translocated rapidly from cytoplasm to the nucleus of cells. Appearance of TFAR19 in the nucleus of apoptotic cells preceded the detection of PS externalization and DNA fragmentation. Conclusion: Nuclear translocation of TFAR19 protein is one of the earliest events of cell apoptotic process. These data provided a new clue to further approach to the biological function of TFAR19 and study of cell apoptosis.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To clarify the role of new apoptosis-related gene, TF-1 cell apoptosis-related gene 19(TFAR19), in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) and the relationship between TFAR19 and SLE. METHODS: DNA Ladder detection, Western blotting, immunological fluorescence method, ELISA and so on were used to test if ultraviolet B(UVB) could induce HaCaT cell apoptosis and TFAR19 expression. RESULTS: HaCaT cell apoptosis could be detected after 24 hours of 30 mj/cm 2 UVB irradiation. Also, we found that in active SLE patients, the TFAR19 antibody was increased, but not significant compared to the normal control. CONCLUSION: TFAR 19 is involved in the process of UVB induced ketatinocyte line HaCaT apoptosis and SLE pathogenesis.
