[Expression of microRNA-155 in papillary thyroid carcinoma and its clinical significance].

Objective: To investigate the correlation of microRNA-155 (miR-155) expression with clinicopathological features of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and explore the value of miR-155 in prognostic assessment of PTC.

Methods: We collected 86 pairs of fresh PTC and adjacent tissues to examine the expression of miR-155 using fluorescent quantitative PCR. miR-155 expressions in the tissues were analyzed in relation to the clinicopathological features of the patients.

[Anatomic study and application of TRAM flap with partial preservation of abdominal rectus muscle in the breast reconstruction].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap with partial preservation of abdominal rectus muscle based on the anatomic study in cadavers.

Methods: 5 adult female cadavers which provided by department of anatomy of Fujian Medical University were dissected after injection with medical red latex from the starting point of the inferior epigastric artery and superior epigastric artery. The TRAM flap with partial preservation of lateral abdominal rectus muscle were dissected for breast reconstruction.

[Clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach].

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach.

Methods: Clinical data of 13 hepatoid adenocarcinomas of the stomach, collected from 201 cases of gastric cancer, were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: Of the 201 gastric carcinomas, there were 13 AFP-producing adenocarcinomas of the stomach, the positive rate was 6.
