RESUMO
Background: Livin, survivin and Pak-1 are all related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer. Livin and survivin play their roles by inhibiting the activity of caspase-7. Aims: To investigate the expressions and significance of livin, survivin, Pak-1 and caspase-7 in different gastric mucosal lesions. Methods: A total of 45 cases of gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue, 45 chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia, 45 chronic non-atrophic gastritis from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2019 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College were collected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of livin, survivin, Pak-1 and caspase-7, and their correlations with clinicopathological features of gastric cancer patients were analyzed. Results: Compared with chronic non-atrophic gastritis group and paracancerous group, the positivity expression rates of livin, survivin and Pak-1 in intestinal metaplasia group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while caspase-7 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with intestinal metaplasia group, the positivity expression rates of livin, survivin and Pak-1 in gastric cancer group were significantly increased (P<0.05), while caspase-7 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Expressions of livin, survivin, Pak-1 and caspase-7 were correlated with the differentiation degree, TNM stage, depth of infiltration and lymph node metastasis in patients with gastric cancer (P<0.05). Conclusions: Livin, survivin, Pak-1 and caspase-7 play important roles in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate risk factors of the prognosis of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS).Methods From May 2012 to July 2014,17 cases of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were treated.Clinical data including history of epidemiology,clinical manifestations,complications,physical examination and laboratory test results on admission and the third day after admission were retrospectively analyzed and compared with the death group and recovery group by application of Spearman correlation analysis.Results Elderly male patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms,or abnormal liver function,or abnormal blood clotting function had higher risk of the poor prognosis.In SFTS patients,AST,ALT was significantly increased,AST 539 U/L (229.73,545.4) U/L (r =0.597,P =0.015) was a risk factor affecting prognosis.Elevated blood ammonia indicated serious liver dysfunction and neurological dysfunction which were manifested as irritability,delirium,and trembling limbs.In SFTS patients,platelets were significantly decreased accompanied with mouth ulcers / bleeding gums,gastrointestinal bleeding.PLT 24.88 × 10 9/L-1 (12.75,35.00) ×10 9/L-1 (r=0.557,P=0.005) or APTT 86.06 s (66.88,114.18) (r=0.798,P=0.001) or D-dimmer 9.79 mg / L (4.09,16.51) mg/L (r =0.597,P =0.015) are risk factors affecting poor prognosis.Conclusions On the third days after admission,AST,WBC,PLT,APTT,Ddimmer are risk factors for prognosis of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome infected by a novel bunyavirus.
