Abnormal expression of FAK and paxillin correlates with oral cancer invasion and metastasis.

Globally, the tenth most common cancer is the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and the treatment strategy for improving of OSCC patients survival rate still remains a challenging one. Aberrant regulation of cell to extracellular matrix protein interactions leads to progression of human cancers. The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and its downstream target paxillin have been implicated in cancer growth, migration, invasion and metastasis of different cancers.

Diagnosis of Compressed Nerve Root in Lumbar Disc Herniation Patients by Surface Electromyography.

Objective: To establish a logistic regression model using surface electromyography (SEMG) parameters for diagnosing the compressed nerve root at L or S level in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Methods: This study recruited 24 patients with L nerve root compression and 23 patients with S nerve root compression caused by LDH from May 2014 to May 2016. SEMG signals from the bilateral tibialis anterior and lateral gastrocnemius were measured.

[Mechanism of chloroquine in promoting sensitivity of chemotherapeutics in oral squamous cell carcinoma CAL-27 cell line to cisplatin].

Purpose: To study the role and mechanism of autophagy in chemotherapy of oral squamous cell carcinoma, and provide theoretical evidence to improve chemotherapeutic efficacy of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Methods: The cell survival rate changes induced by cisplatin (DDP) and chloroquine (CQ) in CAL-27 cells were assayed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method(MTT). The LC3-II expression level was detected by laser scanning confocal microscope; The apoptotic rate was determined by flow cytometry.

[Value of three-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography in the diagnosis of mesenteric arteriosclerosis].

Objective: To assess the clinical value of three-dimensional contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (3D-CE-MRA) in the diagnosis of mesenteric arteriosclerosis.

Methods: 3D-CE-MRA of the mesenteric arteries was performed in 21 patients with 23 healthy subjects as the control. After 3D image reconstruction and maxi intense projection, and the abnormalities of the mesenteric arteries were observed and analyzed.
