Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is no dedicated equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for transplanted kidneys. This study aimed to compare the performance of serum creatinine (Scr)- and cystatin C (CysC)-based equations in Chinese renal transplant recipients. METHODS A total of 252 stable renal transplant recipients were enrolled in this study. The plasma clearance of 99mTc-DTPA (rGFR) was used as a reference standard. The Scr, CysC, and rGFR of the patients were measured on the same day. The bias, precision, accuracy (percentage of estimates within 10%, 30%, and 50% of rGFR), and agreements of 8 Scr and 5 CysC eGFR equations were assessed. The factors affecting the accuracy were also evaluated. RESULTS Among the Scr-based equations, the Japanese Society of Nephrology-Chronic Kidney Disease Initiatives (JSN-CKDI) equation had the best overall performance with a bias of -6.2 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 96.1% of its estimates were within 30% of the rGFR. For the CysC-based equations, the Filler equation had the best performance with a bias of -3.9 mL/min/1.73 m2, and 93.7% of its estimates were within 30% of the rGFR. Overall, the CysC-based equations showed better performance than the Scr-based equations. In addition, significant differences were observed between bias and gender and between bias and rGFR value in some equations, whereas transplantation time and immunosuppressive regimens were not correlated with the bias. CONCLUSION The JSN-CKDI equation provides the best estimation of the GFR equations, and the CysC-based equations performed better than the Scr-based equations in this population.

Abstract
Proanthocyanidins were separated for the first time from Cinnamomum longepaniculatum leaves. An experiment-based extraction strategy was used to research the efficiency of an ultrasound-assisted method for proanthocyanidins extraction. The Plackett-Burman design results revealed that the ultrasonication time, ultrasonic power and liquid/solid ratio were the most significant parameters among the six variables in the extraction process. Upon further optimization of the Box-Behnken design, the optimal conditions were obtained as follows: extraction temperature, 100°C; ethanol concentration, 70%; pH 5; ultrasonication power, 660 W; ultrasonication time, 44 min; liquid/solid ratio, 20 mL/g. Under the obtained conditions, the extraction yield of the proanthocyanidins using the ultrasonic-assisted method was 7.88 ± 0.21 mg/g, which is higher than that obtained using traditional methods. The phloroglucinolysis products of the proanthocyanidins, including the terminal units and derivatives from the extension units, were tentatively identified using a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Cinnamomum longepaniculatum proanthocyanidins have promising antioxidant and anti-nutritional properties. In summary, an ultrasound-assisted method in combination with a response surface experimental design is an efficient methodology for the sufficient isolation of proanthocyanidins from Cinnamomum longepaniculatum leaves, and this method could be used for the separation of other bioactive compounds.

Abstract
In this study, ultrasonic circulating extraction (UCE) technique was firstly and successfully applied for extraction of samara oil from Acer saccharum. The extraction kinetics were fitted and described, and the extraction mechanism was discussed. Through comparison, n-hexane was selected as the extraction solvent, the influence of solvent type on the responses was detailedly interpreted based on the influence of their properties on the occurrence and intensity of cavitation. Seven parameters potentially influencing the extraction yield of samara oil and content of nervonic acid, including ultrasound irradiation time, ultrasound irradiation power, ultrasound temperature, liquid-solid ratio, soaking time, particle size and stirring rate, were screened through Plackett-Burman design to determine the significant variables. Then, three parameters performed statistically significant, including liquid-solid ratio, ultrasound irradiation time and ultrasound irradiation power, were further optimized using Box-Behnken design to predict optimum extraction conditions. Satisfactory yield of samara oil (11.72±0.38%) and content of nervonic acid (5.28±0.18%) were achieved using the optimal conditions. 1% proportion of ethanol in extraction solvent, 120°C of drying temperature and 6.4% moisture were selected and applied for effective extraction. There were no distinct differences in the physicochemical properties of samara oil obtained by UCE and Soxhlet extraction, and the samara oil obtained by UCE exhibited better antioxidant activities. Therefore, UCE method has enormous potential for efficient extraction of edible oil with high quality from plant materials.

Abstract
PURPOSE The authors sought to identify metabolic features of pancreatic carcinoma by in vivo proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy at 3 Tesla. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty healthy volunteers and 40 patients with pancreatic carcinoma confirmed by histopathology underwent T2-weighted imaging for localisation of the single voxel. Respiration-triggered (1)H MR spectroscopy was used to detect metabolites in normal pancreas and cancerous tissue. All spectral data were processed with SAGE software. Unsuppressed water at 4.7 ppm was used as an internal reference to determine metabolite concentrations. Each ratio among the different peak areas was statistically evaluated between normal pancreas and pancreatic carcinoma. RESULTS The following five groups of spectra were detected: unsaturated fatty acids (-CH = CH-) at 5.4 ppm; residual water at 4.7 ppm; choline metabolites at 3.2 ppm; unsaturated fatty acids (-CH2-CH = CH-) or a combination of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), glutamine, glutamate, macromolecules and unsaturated fatty acids (-CH2-CH = CH-) at 2.0 ppm and lipids at 1.3 ppm. Ratio of lipids to unsuppressed water in normal pancreas was statistically greater than that in pancreatic cancer (p=0.004). Ratio of choline to unsuppressed water in normal pancreas was statistically greater than that in pancreatic cancer (p=0.0001). Ratio of fatty acids (-CH = CH-) to lipids in normal pancreas was statistically lower than that in pancreatic cancer (p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Compared with normal pancreas, pancreatic carcinoma has a higher ratio of fatty acids (-CH = CH-) to lipids and lower ratios of lipids to unsuppressed water and choline to unsuppressed water at 3T.

Abstract
The genotoxicant methylazoxymethanol (MAM) is a widely used developmental neurotoxin, and its glucoside is an etiological factor for western Pacific amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS/PDC). Identification of global protein expression changes that occur in response to MAM in the developing cerebellum could provide valuable insight into the potential mechanisms involved in the neurodegeneration process. We have utilized fluorescence 2-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), to determine the protein expression changes that occur during normal cerebellar development and in response to MAM. Three day-old postnatal C57BL/6 mice (PND3) received a single injection of MAM, and the cerebella of postnatal day 4 (PND4) and day 22 (PND22) were analyzed. Approximately, 1400 unique spots were matched and quantified in all samples. Comparison of PND4 and PND22 developing cerebellum showed that a significant fraction of the proteome (approximately 68%) changes at this stage. The immediate response of the developing cerebellum to MAM was minimal (approximately 10%). However, significant differences (27%) were noted 14 days after MAM exposure. In contrast, the transcriptome changes were more pronounced at 24 h compared to 14 days. MAM targeted several proteins networks including transport (e.g., alpha-synuclein), cytoskeletal (e.g., beta-tubulin, vimentin), and mitochondrial (e.g., Atp5b) proteins. Immunochemistry confirmed several of the changes in protein expression (alpha-synuclein). Comparison with gene expression changes revealed that the temporal changes observed in the transcriptome and proteome are not correlative. These studies demonstrate for the first time the potential networks involved during neuronal development and neurodegenerative processes that are perturbed by MAM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the oncogene c-myc, bcl-2' product expression in the maxillary sinus cancer and to investigate its clinical significance. METHOD In 46 maxillary sinus cancer and 56 normal nasal mucous membrane, immunochemical method was adopted to determine oncogene c-myc and bcl-2' product. RESULT In the normal nasal mucous membrane, the positive rates of oncogene c-myc and bcl-2' product were 0; in the maxillary sinus cancer, the positive rates of c-myc and bcl-2' product were 73.91 (34/46), 60.87 (28/46) respectively. The positive rate of c-myc' product in the relapse group(91.67%, 11/12) was significantly higher than that in the non-relapse group(67.65%, 23/34), P < 0.01; the positive rate of bcl-2' product in the relapse group(50%, 6/12) was significantly lower than that in the non-relapse group(64.71%, 22/34), P < 0.05; the positive rate of c-myc' product in the stage IV (88.89%, 8/9) was significantly higher than that in the stage II (63.64%, 7/11), P < 0.05; the positive rate of bcl-2' product in the stage II (72.73%, 8/11) was significantly higher than that in the stage IV (55.56%, 5/9), P < 0.05; the positive rate of bcl-2' product was in the negative correlation to the pathological grade of primary carcinoma. CONCLUSION The oncogene c-myc and bcl-2 take part in the genesis and advancing course of maxillary sinus cancer. Their products were the important oncogology indexes, which might be useful to determine illness condition and predict relapse.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the long-term follow-up result of partial laryngectomy and reservation of laryngeal function. METHODS Three hundred and seventy-nine patients who underwent partial laryngectomy from 1986 to 1995 were summarized (male 290 cases, female 89 cases). Among them, 184 cases were supraglottic carcinomas (T1 8 cases, T2 115, T3 48, T4 13, according to UICC in 1992), 192 cases were glottic carcinomas (T1 115, T2 63, T3 13, T4 1), 3 cases were transglottic carcinomas (T2 1, T3 2). In common 8 kinds of operations were performed: 26 cases underwent cordectomy, 138 vertical laryngectomy, 7 frontolateral laryngectomy, 12 horizontal glottic laryngectomy (middle part of the larynx), 58 supraglottic laryngectomy, 95 horizontovertical (3/4) laryngectomy, 24 subtotal laryngectomy with cricoglossoepiglottic anastomosis, 19 near-total laryngectomy with cricoglossal anastomosis (with reservation of unilateral arytenoid cartilage). 193 cases underwent concurrent neck dissection(121 unilateral, 72 bilateral). RESULTS All cases restored their phonation and overcame aspiration with removing nasal feeding from 7 to 23 days after operations. 362 cases were decannulated from 9 days to 3 months after operations. Another 8 cases were decannulated after a secondary plastic operation. Decannulation rate was 97.6%. The three, five and ten year survival rates were 86.8% (329/379), 81.3% (266/327) and 69.4% (120/173) respectively. CONCLUSION Partial laryngectomy is a kind of radical operation with reservation of laryngeal function. Mastering indications strictly, correct operation choices, excellent surgical skills and perfect repairing technique are bases of improving life qualities and curative effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the development and mechanism of the p16 gene inactivation in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). METHODS With PCR-based methylation assay and PCR-SSCP, first and second exon mutation in p16 gene and methylation of endogenase in promoter in 32 cases of LSCC and paracancer tissue were studied. RESULTS No mutation were found in first and second exon in the samples; methylation of Cfo I were detected in 6 cases in first exon, methylation of Sac II was found in 4 cases, and methylation of Hpa II in 4 cases. In second exon, methylation of Hpa II was detected in 5 cases and methylation of Cfo I in 6 cases. CONCLUSION Methylation of promoter in p16 gene is one of the important mechanisms of the inactivation of the gene. The inactivation of p16 gene has a close relation with the development and progress of LSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the adequacy of horizontal-vertical partial laryngectomy in the treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 57 patients with advanced laryngeal cancer (T3 or T4 on the primary site) treated by horizontal-vertical hemilaryngectomy. Fifty-six patients underwent neck dissections. RESULTS The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 70% (40/57) and 64% (32/50), respectively. All patients had good phonation and resumed mouth-feeding after surgery. Among all the deaths, 4 died of recurrence of laryngeal cancer, 4 cervical metastasis, 4 distant metastasis, 2 intercurrent disease and 3 unknown. Of 36 patients with N0 neck, fifteen cases (15/36, 41.6%) had lymph node metastases pathologically. CONCLUSION Horizontal-vertical hemilaryngectomy is satisfactory for the treatment of selected advanced laryngeal cancers. It also preserves laryngeal functions in most cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term result of supraglottic horizontal partial laryngectomy. METHODS Fifty-five patients with supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma were treated surgically by supraglottic horizontal partial laryngectomy from 1986 to 1995. There were 32 males and 23 females with an average age of 56. Eleven cases were staged I, 26 staged II, 11 staged III and 7 staged IV. Closure of the surgical defect begins by covering the thyroid cartilage with mucosa of the medial wall of the pyriform sinus. The outer perichondrium of thyroid cartilage was approximated with the mucosa of laryngeal ventricle. The hyoid cartilage was excised. The base of tongue was sutured to the reserved thyroid cartilage to take the place of epiglottic cartilage. RESULTS The 3- and 5-year survival rates were 85% (47/55) and 77% (37/48) respectively. The decannulation rate was 96%. Most cases had acquired good speech and swallow function after 8-30 days. Complications included granulation and polyp formation at the base of tongue or at the anterior commissure in 4 cases. CONCLUSIONS Supraglottic horizontal partial laryngectomy is very effective both in eradicating disease and in preserving laryngeal function.

Abstract
The binding of paratropomyosin to beta-connectin, which has been suggested to interact at the A-I junction of a sarcomere, was confirmed by measuring the changes in turbidity of a mixture with changing NaCl concentration, pH and free calcium ions, and by morphological observation and a coprecipitation assay of the aggregates formed in the mixture. Paratropomyosin also bound to the 400-kDa fragment which is the N-terminal portion of beta-connectin and contains the A-I junction region. Moreover, the interaction of paratropomyosin with the 400-kDa fragment was enhanced by a calcium ion concentration from 10(-7) M to 10(-5) M and markedly suppressed above 10(-4) M calcium ions. We conclude that paratropomyosin probably binds to the 400-kDa fragment of beta-connectin in the A-I junction region in living and pre-rigor skeletal muscle. In postmortem skeletal muscle paratropomyosin may be released from the 400-kDa portion of the connectin filament by increased calcium ion concentration and translocated on to thin filaments to induce meat tenderization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To approach the clinical significance of pyriform sinus carcinoma invading to pyriform sinus apex. METHOD Forty-three cases of surgical specimens from total laryngectomy and partial hypopharyngectomy of pyriform sinus carcinoma were made with the organ subserial sectioning and pathological study. RESULT Pyriform sinus apex is the inferior 1/3 region of pyriform sinus. If pyriform sinus carcinoma invades its apex, the cancerous tissue easely infiltrated the adjacent structure and organs. CONCLUSION The invasion of pyriform sinus apex is the beginning position and the most important sign of invading downward the tissue and surrounding organs in the inferior position of hypopharynx. When surgery treatment is performed, the total laryngectomy and hypopharyngectomy of ill hypopharynx is appropriate and necessary.

No severe postoperative complications were found. 3.5-year survival rates were 76.7% and 75.5% respectively. CONCLUSION Senility is not a contraindication for laryngectomy with reservation of laryngeal function. The key points are that surgeons should master indications correctly and improve surgical skill to decrease postoperative complications.

Abstract
We found that paratropomyosin bound to beta-connectin, in examining binding of paratropomyosin at the junction of A- and I-bands of sarcomeres. The turbidity of a mixture of beta-connectin and paratropomyosin was greater with more paratropomyosin added, but high concentrations of Ca2+ suppress this increase. These results suggest that paratropomyosin is released from connectin filaments at the A-I junction region by increased concentrations of calcium ions in postmortem skeletal muscles.

Abstract
The studies described here detect HPV DNA in 124 cases of fresh tissue samples with different lesions of larynx using a nonradioactive Digoxigenin Labelled Probe prepared by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The labelled probe of HPV consensus primers was obtained, which can detect nine types of HPVs DNAs such as HPV 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 42 and 58. The results showed that the rate of positive cases with HPV infection was 45.6% (31/68) in the group of laryngeal carcinoma, 20.0% (3/15) for the group of neck metastatic lymph node, 11.8% (2/17) for precarcinous lesions group and 6.3% (1/16) for the group of vocal cord polypus, respectively. Fifteen cases of normal laryngeal tissue adjacent to the carcinoma and 15 cases adjacent to the carcinoma were HPV DNA negative. The carcinogenic action of HPV in laryngeal carcinoma and the sensitivity and specificity of the probe prepared by PCR are discussed in this paper.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the RB1 gene in squamous cell carcinoma of larynx(ISCC) and to find clue for discovering and locating new suppressor gene. METHODS Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of microsatellite polymorphic sequence on chromosomes 13 at RB1.20 locus of 58 LSCC patients were analyzed. The p110RB1 protein state was detected by immunohistochemical staining using the polyclonal antibody to the RB1 products. RESULTS It showed that 3 cases in the preinvasive stage (i.e. carcinoma in situ) had no any LOH on chromosome 13. Forty percent of the 55 invasive LSCC showed LOH at RB1.20 locus. By immunohistochemical staining p110RB1 protein negative reaction was observed in 8 LSCCs in which 6 cases associated with LOH at RB1.20 locus. CONCLUSIONS RB1 gene was inactivated in some LSCCs. It is putative that there is another tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 13 near by RB1.20 locas. The inactivation of the genes at the chromosome 13q region including RB1 involved genesis and development of invasive LSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the definition of transglottic carcinoma and its pathological characteristics of local invasion, and to determine the distinction between transglottic carcinoma and transglottic invasion of laryngeal carcinoma. METHODS Fifty total laryngectomy specimens of transglottic carcinoma were subject to whole-organ serial section, HE staining and microscopic observation. RESULTS The ventricles of 50 cases were all invaded, the main lesion of carcinoma was in the ventricle, or the ventricle was the center of the lesion. The rate of invasion to paraglottic space(PGS) was 82%(41/50). Submucosal invasion was seen in 52%(26/50) and that with superficial mucosal invasion was seen in 38%(19/50). Superficial mucosal invasion rate was 10%(5/50). Deep submucosal invasion was the major way of tumor spread in transglottic carcinoma which equally involved the supraglottic and glottic regions. CONCLUSION Transglottic carcinoma originates from the center of ventricle where it spreads to transglottic region. Submucosal extension is characteristic of local invasion. There are fundamental differences between transglottic carcinoma and transglottic invasion of laryngeal carcinoma in the late stage of the lesion.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the significance of selected acoustic parameters, to determine their usfulness in monitoring effects of treatments, to correlate them to other clinical voice tests (such as aerodynamic measurements, stroboscopic examination, psychoacoustic evaluation), and to determin if there were correlations among the acoustic parameters. The results showed that pitch perturbation quotient (PPQ), amplitude perturbation quotient (APQ), normalized noise energy a and b (NNEa and NNEb) were positively related to the regularity (REG) in the vocal cord polyp. In the present study, psychoacoustic rough (R), breathy (B) were correlated to the regularity (REG), glottic closure (GLO) and the mean airflow rate. The integrated voice analysis was a simple and effective method for acoustic evaluation of pathologic voice.

Abstract
To study the histopathological characteristics of local invasion and cervical lymph node metastasis in transglottic carcinoma and provide theoretical guide to clinical practice, 30 laryngectomy and 35 neck dissection specimens were studied by serial section, HE staining and observation under light microscope. The results showed that transglottic carcinomas originated from the ventricle invaded supraglottic and glottic areas equally. The metastatic rate of cervical lymph nodes was 43.3%; the latent metastatic rate was 30%. The metastatic and extracapsular perforation rates as well as the number of the aggregated fusion lymphnodes increased with the increase in the size of the lymphonodes. It was concluded that the transglottic carcinoma should be defined as one with the main lesion locates in the ventricle, or the ventricle being the center with transglottic spread. Since the barrier of ventricle was weak, partial laryngectomy should be performed with care, and ipsilateral neck dissection shoud be included during operation.

Abstract
To approach the mechanism of hemilaryngeal fixation in pyriform sinus carcinoma (PSC), surgical specimens from total laryngectomy and partial hypopharyngectomy in 43 cases of pyriform sinus carcinoma were studied using organ subserial sections. Invasion of intralaryngeal muscles and the upper and outer aspects of arytenoid cartilage via paraglottic space was found to be the main cause of hemilaryngeal fixation in these cases. Presence of tumor on the medial wall of the pyriform sinus makes involvement of intralaryngeal structures easy, and thus is more frequently seen with hemilaryngeal fixation. Clinical T3 lesion of the sinus may infiltrate laryngeal cartilages and adjacent soft tissue to become pathologic T4 lesion. For PSC appearing hemilaryngeal fixation, total laryngectomy is safer to thoroughly remove cancer.

Abstract
50 cases of transglottic carcinoma were chosen and the collodion-embedded specimens of whole-organ serial section were observed. We found that: 1. Transglottic carcinoma was of laryngeal ventricle origin; 2. There were 1 case in T1 and 2 cases in T2 category; 3. Deep infiltration was the main local growth pattern (90%, 45/50), and paraglottic space and thyroid cartilage were easily involved (82%, 41/50 and 65%, 32/50 respectively), clinical stage was not parallel to pathological stage (48%, 24/50).

Abstract
Nine cases of unstable Jefferson variant atlas fractures were treated with nonoperative external immobilization between 1989 and 1993. All of them were studied by plain films and CT scans. Seven cases had three breaks of the atlas ring. One case had unilateral anterior arch fracture, associated transverse ligament tear and quadriplegia. The other case had Jefferson, Hangman, C3pedicle burst fractures and C3,4dislocation. All of the fractures were unstable or potentially unstable. Despite the abnormal open month view in all cases, the plain films showed minimal abnormalities, requiring CT for definite diagnosis. Follow-up for average of 16 months showed the 7 cases showed the fractures healed with good bone bunion, complete mobility and no residual pain.

Abstract
A case-control study of laryngeal cancer was conducted in Liaoning Province between January 1991 and April 1992 among 100 subjects with newly diagnosed cancer and 100 controls. The results of one factor analysis, odd ratio (OR), and conditional logistic regression indicated that smoking was the first significant risk factor for laryngeal cancer with an OR value of 16.8. Tobacco smoking ranked the first with an OR value of 30.4. Other factors such as alcoholic indulgence, insufficient intake of vegetable and fruits in winter and spring, air pollution in room and working environment, and fatigue of vocal cords were closely associated with the occurrence of laryngeal cancer.
