ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of PRL-3 expression in sinonasal squamous cell cancer(SNSCC).Meth-ods The immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR were adopted to detect the PRL-3 protein expression level in 62 cases of SNSCC tissue (SNSCC group),30 cases of nasal polyps(NP group)tissue and 25 cases of normal nasal mucosa tissue(control group).The obtained results were compared.Results Both in the protein level and gene level detection,the expression of PRL-3 in the SNSCC group was higher than that in the NP group and control group,the difference was statistically significant (P 0.05),but with TNM stage increasing,differentiation degree decreasing and complicating lymph node metastasis,the expression of PRL-3 was significantly increased(P <0.05).Conclusion The PRL-3 expression can serve as good reference for the proliferation activity of SNSCC,its expressing intensity can obviously reflect the SNSCC cell proliferation activity,PRL-3 probably is an independent prognostic index of SNSCC,indicating poor prognosis.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of postaural injection in treating SNHL and the influence on ROS,sVCAM-1 levels.METHODS 242 low frequency descent sensorineural hearing loss patients from Jan.2010 to Jul.2016 in our hospital were selected as the research sbjects.They were randomly divided into two groups(n=121).All patients were treated with ginkgo biloba extract intravenous drip.The control group was treated with Methylprednisolone intravenous drip,while the observation group was treated with postaural injection of Methylprednisolone.The clinical effects between the two groups were compared after 14 days of treatment.The ABR result,serum ROS,sVCAM-1 levels were also copmpared before and after treatment.RESULTS The effective rates of 2 groups were 82.64％,61.16％ respectively,which indicated significant difference (P＜0.05).The Ⅰ and Ⅴ waves of observation group were decreased,and they was significantly lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05),the R-R interval between Ⅰ and Ⅴ waves of the 2 groups showed no significant difference (P＞0.05).After treatment,the serum ROS level of 2 groups were (0.66 ± 0.38) ng/ml,(2.31± 1.12) ng/ml respectively,the sVCAM-1 level of two groups were (230.5 ±26.4) ng/ml,(312.6 ±47.2) ng/ml respectively,the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (t=10.985,11.953,P＜0.05).CONCLUSION Methylprednisolone can improve the clinical effect in treating low frequency descent SNHLby improving the concentration of drugs in ear and increasing the activity of Na+/K+-ATP enzyme in blood vessel;It can also decrease ROS and sVCAM-1 level,alleviate oxidative stress,reduce vascular endothelial damage,which is worthy of recommendation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the relationship between the immune status of adenoids and secretory otitis media (SOM).@*METHOD@#The adenoids tissue samples of 30 cases of recurrent secretory otitis media (SOM), 17 cases of non-recurrent secretory otitis media and 20 cases of the adenoids hypertrophy without SOM were studied by immunohistochemical method.@*RESULT@#The expression of PCNA, BCL-2, CD4+, CD8+ cells and CD4+/CD8+ in recurrent SOM tissue were 30.85 +/- 1.73, 21.27 +/- 1.25, 41.90 +/- 9.07; 20.45 +/- 7.08 and 2.10 +/- 0.17, respectively, which was remarkably higher than those of non-recurrent SOM, (25.50 +/- 1.66, 14.23 +/- 1.06, 17.40 +/- 6.85, 13.02 +/- 5.88, 1.33 +/- 0.11, respectively) and those of simple adenoid hypertrophy (25.25 +/- 1.75, 14.05 +/- 1.02, 16.30 +/- 8.21, 11.15 +/- 5.71 and 1.39 +/- 0.15, respectively) (P 0.05). In group of simple adenoid hypertrophy, PCNA in the subgroup of the age 3 to 6 was significantly higher than those in the other groups (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#In adenoid tissues of recurrent SOM patients, the activities of T-lymphocyte subsets cells in hypertrophic status increase, the adenoids enlarge and local immunity enhances. The age and gender have nothing to do with the SOM, but low age is one of the influencing factors of adenoid hypertrophy. Therefore, adenoidectomy for recurrent SOM patients with adenoid hypertrophy should be carried out as early as possible.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression of EMS1 and DcR3 in laryngeal carcinoma and analyze the relation of EMS1 and DcR3.@*METHOD@#The expression of EMS1 and DcR3 protein in 41 laryngeal carcinoma fresh samples and 41 para-carcinoma tissues (to cutting margin > 0.5 cm) were measured by flow cytometry, and 15 normal laryngeal mucosa samples were also studied as controls.@*RESULT@#(1) The quantitative and qualitative expression of EMS1 and DcR3 protein in laryngeal carcinoma tissues was obviously higher than those in para-carcinoma and in normal laryngeal mucosa tissues respectively (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the expression of para-carcinoma and normal laryngeal mucosa tissues. (2) In laryngeal carcinoma, the expression of EMS1 and DcR3 protein was independent of patients' clinical classification, tumor size, smoking history, patients' age and sex but associated with tumor metastasis, pathological grade and clinical stage. (3) In laryngeal carcinoma, the expression of EMS1 was positively correlated with that of DcR3.@*CONCLUSION@#EMS1 was positively related to DcR3, which might play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of laryngeal carcinoma by synergic effect.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression of DcR3 in laryngeal carcinoma and analyze the relation between DcR3 and clinical factors.@*METHOD@#The expression of DcR3 protein in 41 laryngeal carcinoma tissues and 41 para-carcinoma tissues (to cutting margin > 0.5 cm) were measured by Flow Cytometer(Epics-XL II), 15 normal laryngeal mucosa tissues were served as controls.@*RESULT@#(1) The quantitative and qualitative expression of DcR3 protein in laryngeal carcinoma tissues was obviously higher than those in para-carcinoma and normal laryngeal mucosa tissues, respectively (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference for the DcR3 protein expression between para-carcinoma and normal laryngeal mucosa tissues. (2) In laryngeal carcinoma, the expression of DcR3 protein was not significantly related to clinical classification, tumor size, smoking history, patients' age and sex but related to metastasis, pathological grade and clinical stage.@*CONCLUSION@#The high level of DcR3 expression may contribute to the carcinogenesis and development of laryngeal carcinoma. So it can be an important index for judging the differentiation, infiltration, metastasis and staging of laryngeal carcinoma.
