Objective To explore the expression and significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),tissue polypeptide specificity antigen (TPS) and tumor type M2 pyruvate kinase (TuM2-PK) before and after interventional therapy in lung cancer (LC).Methods Sixty cases of LC treated by interventional treatment in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2015 were analyzed.The levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK on preoperative 1 d,postoperative 1,3,7,14,28 d were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The change of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK levels in the patients with different treatment outcomes was observed.Contemporaneous 40 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination served as the healthy control group.Results The levels of VEGF,TPS,TuM2-PK on preoperative 1d,postoperative 3,7,14,28 d had statistical differences between the observation group and control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with pre-treatment,the levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK in partial remission patients were significantly improved,which in the patients with stable and progressive condition,the levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK were significantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK are significantly elevated before and after interventional treatment in LC patients,moreover the worse the therapeutic efficacy,the higher the levels of VEGF,TPS and TuM2-PK,which can be used as the detection indexes of LC interventional treatment.

Objective To express and purify the human renin(REN)and mature renin(REN-340)in prokaryotic cells,and detect the concentration. Methods According to the human REN gene sequence(5972)registered in NCBI,REN and REN-340 gene fragments were artificially synthesized and cloned into vector p ET-28a(+)after E.coli codon optimization,and the recombinant expression plasmids 6 × His-REN-p ET and 6 × His-REN-340-p ET were constructed. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into competent E.coli BL21(DE3)and induced at different induction temperatures(20,25,30and 37 ℃)and different final concentrations(0. 1,0. 2,0. 4 and 0. 5 mmol/L)of IPTG. Recombinant REN and REN-340were induced under the optimal induction conditions,and the concentrations were detected by ELISA after nickel ion affinity chromatography with Ni-NTA. Results The recombinant expression plasmids 6 × His-REN-p ET and 6 × His-REN-340-p ET were constructed correctly as identified by restriction analysis and sequencing. The optimum induction temperature of recombinant REN and REN-340 was 37 ℃ and 20 ℃,and the best final concentration of IPTG was 0. 1 and 0. 2 mmol/L,respectively. The concentrations of purified recombinant REN and REN-340 were 9 148. 21 and 15 115. 31 m IU/m L,respectively. Conclusion The prepared recombinant REN and REN-340 proteins have high concentration with short production cycle,which are expected to be used as candidate quality control products and standard substances for external quality assessment(EQA).

Urinary and sexual dysfunction is common complication after surgical treatment for rectal cancer patients,and many studies were carried out for these complications.This article reviewed the literatures on clinical research of urogenital function after operations of rectal cancer.

Cultivating innovative talents is a systemic project,which is influenced by educational ecosystem.The comparison with educational ecosystems of developed countries shows that there are lots of factors affect the cultivating innovative talents in China including the internal factors of education system as well as family and social factors.

Gene associated with retinoid-IFN-induced mortality-19(GRIM-19)is originally isolated as a growth suppressive gene using a genetic screen.GRIM-19, initially found in nucleus and mitochondria, is essential for the assembly and functioning of mitochondrial complex I.GRIM-19 involves the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, and low expression or mutation of GRIM-19 contributes to abnormal proliferation.During viral oncogenesis, GRIM-19 may be a general target protein similar to other cellular tumor suppressors.GRIM-19 plays an important role in tumor formation and apoptosis inhibition, and may be as a new tumor marker to early cancer screening.

OBJECTIVE To explore the expression and its significance of focal adhesion kinase(FAK)and matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9)in the pituitary adenomas. METHODS The expressions of FAK and MMP-9 were determined by immunohistochemical technique in 50 pituitary adenoma tissues samples obtained during operation, including 27 invasive pituitary adenomas and 23 non-invasive pituitary adenomas. The relationship of FAK and MMP-9 expression with tumor invasiveness were analyzed. RESULTS The expression of FAK and MMP-9 in the invasive pituitary adenomas were significantly higher than those in the non-invasive pituitary adenomas(P

Stem cells are characterized by the ability to renew themselves and differentiate into a di-verse range of specialized cell types.Bmi1 gene has been determined to play critical roles in the self-renewal of stem cells.Many of the tumor originated in stem cells.Enhanced self-renewal capability in stem/progenitor cells changes its biological characteristic and drives tumor initiation

The surgical intervention and criteria of severe acute pancreatitis has significantly changed in the last several years with the advent of enhanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive surgery.Many kinds of minimally invasive technologies which take laparoscopy as a representative are constantly applied to the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis and make its mortality and postoperative complication rate decrease obviously.However,there are many different ways using laparoscopic techniques to treat severe acute pancreatitis.In this review,the author will discuss the current status of the different approaches.

A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake struck on Wenchuan on May 12, 2008. Until July 1, 1393 injured persons had been admitted to Deyang People's Hospital. Of all injured persons, 32 were diagnosed with abdominal injury, including 18 men and 14 women. All the abdominal injuries were closed injury, and multiple abdominal viscera were involved in the abdominal injuries after the earthquake. Careful examination is crucial in preventing missed diagnosis. The incidences of the liver and spleen injuries were significantly higher than that of the intestine, and the reason may be that the liver and spleen are the parenchymal viscera. Diagnostic abdominocentesis can timely diagnose the parenchymal viscera with severe blood loss. Diagnostic peritoneal lavage combined with selective CT scan can timely diagnose the abdominal injuries with comparatively low cost.

Cushing's syndrome is caused by the excessive secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex.Hypertension is one of the most distinguishing features of Cushing's syndrome,as it is present in about 80% of adult patients.The various pathogenetic mechanisms that have been proposed for the development of cortisol-induced hypertension in Cushing's syndrome and its management are discussed.
