Analysis on expression of survivin and PTEN in vocal cords polyps, papilloma of larynx and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#Through exploring the differentiation on positive expressing rates between oncogene survivin and tumor-suppressor gene PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten) on vocal cord polyps (VCP), adult type laryngeal papilloma (ALP), and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), to reveal the mechanism in cancellation of human laryngeal squamous cells, from benign proliferative lesion, benign tumor to malignant tumor in larynx.@*METHOD@#After picking out 18 cases of VCP, 10 cases of ALP, and 18 cases of LSCC for immunohistochemical process of Survivin and PTEN with two continuous section preparations, the differentiations of positive expression rates of Survivin and PTEN in the same human laryngeal squamous cells areas among three diseases were compared.@*RESULT@#The positive expressing rates of survivin and PTEN in VCP were obviously more lower than in ALP and LSCC (P 0.05). The positive expressing rates of survivin were always higher than PTEN in VCP, ALP and LSCC evidently (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#PTEN, expressing for competition purpose, shows a subordinative relationship with Survivin. Although they have opposite functions in determine whether the cancellation of laryngeal squamous cells take place or not, Survivin is always playing the leading role and making predominant impact on development of benign proliferative lesion, benign and malignant tumor in larynx.

Research on the expression of Survivin and PTEN in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma transplanted on the back sides of nude mice treated by gold throat tablets / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the positive expressing rates of oncogene Survivin and tumor-suppressor gene PTEN in transplanted laryngo-carcinoma of nude mice treated by Gold Throat Tablets (GTT) which can improve circulation and remove haemostasis in TCM theory.@*METHOD@#The 32 nude mice seeded with cultured laryngeal carcinoma cells subcutaneously at the back were randomly divided into high, middle, low (according to 6 : 3: 1 proportion of GTT dosing given by intragastric administration) dose groups and blank control groups. The changes on weight and size of tumors originated from these cells were observed for 28 days, and the density of tumors and expression of Survivin and PTEN were examined with tumor sections by immunohistochemical assay after separating tumors from back of nude mice.@*RESULT@#The weight and size of subcutaneous laryngo-carcinoma on backs of high dose group nude mice were both the smallest among all the experimental groups with the average density of tumors as 1.202 g/cm3. The positive expressing rates of Survivin and PTEN both revealed the following tendency that high dose group < middle dose group < low dose group < blank control group.@*CONCLUSION@#Six times of regular doses of GTT can prevent overgrowth of laryngo-carcinoma transplanted on nude mice and decrease the excessive expression of oncogene Survivin in the tumor. PTEN, expressing lower than Survivin in all groups, shows a subordinative relationship with it, maybe due to a competition mechanism.

Bacteria Monitoring of Mattress in Common Ward of General Hospital / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To detect bacteria number of the mattress in the common ward in order to reduce the mattress transmitted hospital infection. METHODS Secretion was collected for bacteria test from mattresses of the five common wards at the d0,dd1-6,dd7-13,dd14-20,and d21 and more after admission of patients. RESULTS The longer the patients stayed,the heavier the pollution of mattress was,its bacterial amount was much higher than the criterion made by Ministry of Health(10 CFU/cm~2). CONCLUSIONS Long-term hospitalization is the main factor that makes mattress bacterial contaminant in the common ward,and it should be cleaning and sterilizing regularly.
