RESUMEN
Objective To explore the clinical feature,treatment and prognosis of incidental prostate cancer(IPC) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods From January 2009 to April 2017,24 cases undergoing TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia and being diagnosed with prostate cancer(T1a-T1b) was retrospectivey analysed,who aged from 62 to 84 years (mean 71.8 years).Digital rectal examination (DRE) showed prostate medium texture,smooth surface,and no nodules.Ultrasound presented no low echo nodules in the prostate.Prostate volumes were 19.2-93.4 ml,with median of 40.1 ml.PSA were 1.81-9.11 ng/ml,with median of 4.12 ng/ml.The patients with PSA between 6-10 ng/ml accepted prostate biopsy,and pathological results were negative.Results The The pathology of TURP specimens in 24 cases were diagnosed prostate cancer (21 cases of T1a,3 cases of T1b).According to the new WHO/ISUP classification group,there were 18 cases of hierarchical group 1,3 cases of hierarchical group 2,1 case of hierarchical group 3,2 cases in hierarchical group 4.All patients were treated with hormonal therapy,and 7 cases (5 cases of hierarchical group 1,and 2 cases of hierarchical group 2) underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) after 3 months of hormonal therapy.The specimens of prostatectomy were examined by whole-mount serial,showing 3 cases of prostate cancer (T1a) with negative margin,and 4 cases of benign prostate cells.They were followed up for 5-82 months with median of 43.5 months.No biological progression or tumor progression was found,and,1 case died of colon cancer after 26 months of follow-up.The patients' age and Gleason score of stage T1b were higher than that of stage T1a.Prostate volume and preoperative PSA had no statistically significant difference between the two stages.Conclusions The patients' age and Gleason score of stage T1b were higher than that of stage T1b.The proportion of residual tumor following TURP was high.The prognosis of incidental prostate cancer was good by hormonal therapy or radical prostatectomy.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the diagnostic value of MRE and DWI in staging hepatic fibrosis in pa-tients with CHB. Methods In this retrospective analysis ,we investigated 93 patients with CBH and live fibrosis. Ninety-three patients were grouped according to their pathological grading of fibrosis ,from S0 to S4. Sixteen healthy patients were enrolled as the control group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correla-tion between the stiffness and ADC value and their staging fibrosis. ROC analysis was conducted to compare the per-formance of the stiffness and ADC value in staging hepatic fibrosis. Results Both liver stiffness value(r=0.962, P<0.01)and ADC value(r=-0.823,P<0.01)were highly correlated with the stage of liver fibrosis. The area un-der ROC(AUC)for the detection of≥S1≥S2/≥S3/S4 stage fibrosis with the stiffness and ADC value were 0.963/0.868、0.995/0.947、0.998/0.948、0.996/0.889 respectively ,with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05 , resectively). Conclusions MRE and DWI have higher value ,and MRE is more accurate than DWI for staging hepatic fibrosis in patients with CHB.
RESUMEN
This study was aimed to assess scales with the unidimensional item response models (UIRM) and classical test theory.The reliability and validity of 841 sub-health status samples were analyzed by CTT.Surveying evaluation from the project perspective was also conducted.The results showed that Cronbach'so coefficients in five areas were all larger than 0.6 with relatively high consistency.The scale structures of five areas were relatively good and the CFI was 0.96.When discriminations of all items were larger than 0.3,the sensitivity of item for its area was high.When the scale test information was 33.8,the accuracy of sub-health status was relatively high.However,there were still some items should be further revised.It was concluded that UIRM can be used to evaluate the psychological measurement performance in the project.It is a supplement to the evaluation result of classical test theory.The reliability and validity of sub-health status scale are relatively high.After IRT correction,it can be used for human-computer interaction techniques “preventive treatment” dynamic monitoring.

In order to detect antibody against swine influenza virus (H1N1), HA1 region of hemagglutinin gene in epidemic swine influenza virus (H1N1) strain was amplified and subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET30a. Then recombinant HA1 protein was expressed by Escherichia coli BL21. The purified recombinant HA1 protein was obtained after the treatment of denaturing, refolding and affinity chromatography with immobilized nickel chelating NTA (Ni-NTA). An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was established using the purified protein as antigen. Then 785 swine serum samples collected during 2008-2009 were detected by this method, and the positive ratio was 15.54%. There were diversities among provinces (8%-47%). The diagnostic specificity and diagnostic sensitivity of this method arrived at 91% and 95% respectively, using the results of IDEXX ELISA kit as reference.

RESUMEN
Objective To establish a uremic apoE-/- mouse model to observe serum biochemical parameters and features of aortic root atherosclerosis (AS) in the model. Methods A uremic model was induced surgically in apoE-/- mice: electrocautery of the right kidney at 8 weeks of age and nephrectomy (NX) of the left one 2 weeks later. Control mice were sham-operated. Two weeks after NX, renal functions were detected in the uremic and control mice to evaluate the efficiency of the model. After 10 weeks of NX, blood samples were taken to determine serum biochemical parameters, and aortic root was collected for frozen sections to investigate the lesion features of AS. Results Two weeks after NX, renal functions declined significantly in the uremic mice compared with the control ones, and remained stable 8 weeks later either in males or in females. Ten weeks after NX, serum levels of TCH, TG and LDL-C were dramatically higher in the uremic mice than in the controls, whereas no differences in serum HDL-C or glucose concentration were found between the two groups. Aortic root plaque relative area increased significantly in the uremic mice compared with the controls either in males or in females; more-over, the lesion area was larger in female mice than in male ones. Conclusion We established a uremic apoE-/- mouse model successfully, and this model is characterized by accelerated atherogenesis which is associated with an increase in serum lipid profile. This experimental model can be a useful tool to study the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of uremic AS.

RESUMEN
Anandamide (N-arachidonoylethanolamide), an arachidonic acid derivative, is an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors, which are m embers of the G protein (Gi)-coupled receptors family. Ananamide is mainly foun d in central nervous system, immune system and uterus etc and mimics most of the effects of (-)Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinoid [(-)Δ9-THC], a psyco active derivative of marijuana. Fatty-acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), which is inv olved in hydrolyzing anandamide to arachidonic acid and ethanolamide, may quickl y regulate level of anandamide in vivo.

AIM: To study the role of liver in immune regulation in experimental endotoxemia. METHODS: 17 castrated male goats were subjected to simultaneously installing catheters in jugular, hepatic and portal veins by surgery. Four days later, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was infused in term of three groups as followings: In group ①, LPS of 20 EU (endotoxin unit, EU)?kg -1 was infused into portal vein; In group ②, LPS of 20 EU?kg -1 was infused into jugular vein and LPS of 1 500 EU?kg -1 infused into jugular vein in group ③. Before and after infusion, blood samples were collected from the three veins through the catheters for 8 h. The plasma levels of TNF-? were measured by RIA. RESULTS: In group ①, the plasma TNF-? levels of hepatic and portal vein rose to peak value at 5 h, but that of the jugular vein did not changed. In group ②, the plasma TNF-? levels in hepatic vein rose to peak value at 3 h. The TNF-? levels of jugular vein rose to peak value at 1 h and the one in portal vein enhanced continuously between 0-8 h. In group ③, the plasma TNF-? levels in jugular, hepatic and portal vein rose to significant peaks at 1 h simultaneously. CONCLUSION: During experimental endotoxemia,liver showed different dynamic characteristics in TNF-? secretion according to the pathway and doses of LPS delivery. [
