简介:目的研究转录因子扭曲基因(Twist)在喉鳞癌(LSCC)中的表达及其通过对上皮型钙黏附蛋白(E-cadherin)、神经型钙黏附蛋白(N-cadherin)的作用在判断肿瘤的生物学行为方面的意义。方法采用免疫组织化学SP法及反转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)方法检测49例喉鳞癌及20例癌旁组织中Twist、E-cadherin和N-cadherin基因的表达情况。结果Twist在喉癌组织中的阳性表达率(61.22%)明显高于癌旁组织(25%)(P〈0.01);Twist在喉癌组织中的mRNA相对表达量(0.93±0.39)明显高于癌旁组织(0.57±0.24)(P〈0.01);Twist在喉癌中蛋白及mRNA表达均与淋巴结转移、临床分期相关,而与肿瘤病理学分级、临床分型及年龄无关。在mRNA及蛋白水平,Twist与E-cadherin,N-cadherin与E-cadherin的表达均呈负相关;Twist与N-cadherin均呈正相关。结论Twist在喉鳞癌中过度表达,可能通过分别上调N-cadherin和下调E-cadherin的表达,进而在喉鳞癌的浸润、转移过程中发挥重要作用。

简介:目的探讨纤维蛋白封闭剂(fibrinsealing,FS)在功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术中的临床应用价值。方法随机将163例行鼻内镜鼻窦手术患者分成FS组、Merocel高膨胀材料组和凡士林油纱条组,比较不同填塞材料的术后临床表现及远期影响。结果FS组在鼻内镜鼻窦手术中止血效果差于高膨胀材料及凡士林油纱条组,但术后头痛及鼻腔疼痛较轻,鼻黏膜反应轻,创口愈合快,鼻黏膜上皮化快,鼻腔粘连少。结论鼻内镜鼻窦手术中应用FS术后头痛及鼻黏膜反应轻,值得临床进一步实践、应用。
简介:目的探讨用改良圈匙娩核并注重粘弹剂应用对防止小切口非超声乳化白内障囊外摘出人工晶体植入术并发症的作用。方法用改良圈匙娩核并注重粘弹剂应用对355例白内障行小切口非超声乳化白内障人工晶体植入术。结果术后三天矫正视力≥0.5者291眼达82%,脱残339眼(95.5%)脱盲315眼(98.9%)。术后角膜水肿39眼,占10.98%均在3~6天后恢复透明。后囊破裂7眼,占1.97%,前房出血4眼,占1.13%。瞳孔轻度变形10眼,占2.8%,暂时性高眼压4眼,占1.13%。结论在行小切口白内障囊外摘出人工晶体植入时,应用改良后的圈匙娩核并注重粘弹剂应用,就会明显减少并发症,达到良好的效果。
