Objective To study the telomerase activity in the tissue adjacent to bladder cancer and to investigate its clinical significance. Methods Telomerase activity was detected with telomeric repeat amplification PCR (TRAP) assay. The telomerase activity in the tissue adjacent to bladder cancer was evaluated. Results Telomerase activity was positive in the tissue samples adjacent to bladder cancer in 10 of the 24 cases(42%). Telomerase activity in the adjacent tissue has been related with the tumour grades and stages. The tumour recurrence was also related with the telomerase activity in the adjacent tissue. Conclusions The detection of telomerase activity in the tissue adjacent to bladder cancer could be a prognostic marker for bladder tumor recurrence.

Objective To investigate the expression of Shh, Ptch, Smo and Gli1 proteins who belongs to components of Hedgehog signaling pathway, and to explore the relationship between the abnormal activated of Hedgehog signaling path?way with renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC). Methods Protein expressions were examined by immunohistochemistry in 76 cases of human RCCC and 12 pericarcinomatous tissues. And 10 fresh specimens from cancer tissues and pericarcinoma?tous tissues were used to examine expressions of Shh, Ptch, Smo and Gli1 by Western blotting. Results The expressions of examined proteins were higher in RCCC than that in pericarcinomatous tissue. Shh (52.6%vs 8.3%), Ptch (63.2%vs 16.7%), Smo (44.7%vs 8.3%) and Gli1 (60.5%vs 25.0%). The increased proteins levels were disassociated with age, gender, and tu?morous size in RCCC. But it was significantly correlated with TNM stage of RCCC. The expressions were gradually increased with higher TNM stage of RCCC or more invasive malignancy. Conclusion Hedgehog signaling pathway is highly activated in RCCC. It might be involved in initiation, progression of RCCC, and it might be used as the target for RCCC treatment.

BACKGROUND: Previous researches have proved that both atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) exist in the same endocrine granule of enterochromaffin cell (EC). However, whether ANP may promote or inhibit synthesis and secretion of 5-HT needs to be further studied. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ANP on synthesis and secretion of 5-HT in EC of rat gastric mucosa.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animals study.SETTING: Immunology Laboratory, Chengde Medical College. MATERIALS: This study was performed at the Immunology Laboratory, Chengde Medical College from October 2004 to July 2007. Forty adult male Wistar rats were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Chengde Medical College. The experiment was in accordance with animal ethics standards. ANP, 5-HT antibody and serum were provided by Santa Cruz Biotechnology Company, USA.METHODS: Forty rats were randomly into endocrine and exocrine groups, and rats in the two groups were sub-grouped into control and experimental groups with 10 in each group. ANP (28 μg, 14 mg/L) was directly injected into the stomach to mimic ANP luminal secretion and ANP (14 μg, 14 mg/L) was directly injected into the sublingual vein to mimic ANP endocrinal secretion. In above condition, 5-HT immunoreactive positive cell was displayed by using immunohistochemistry technique, numerical density (Nv) of endocrine granule (SG) was counted by using electron microscopic morphometry, and 5-HT level in the serum was measured by using HPLC-ECD technique. And then, the results were compared to the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of ANP on density of 5-HT immunoreactive positive cell, numerical density (Nv) of SG and 5-HT level in the serum. RESULTS: Effect of luminal and endocrine ANP on the 5-HT secretion: The density of immunoreactive positive cell and the numerical density (Nv) of SG were significantly increased by luminal and endocrine ANP (P＜0.05), while 5-HT level in serum was significantly reduced by luminal and endocrine ANP (P＜0.05). CONCLUSION: Luminal and endocrinal ANP can inhibit 5-HT release of gastric mucosa but may not change or enhancement its synthesis in rat.

Objective To investigate the effect of the new polyamine analogue tetrabutyl propanediamine (TBP) on cell proliferation and the underlying mechanism. Methods MTT assay was performed to determine cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to detect cell cycle transition. DNA fragmentation and mitochondrial membrane potential determinations were performed to detect cell apoptosis. The activity of key enzymes in polyamine catabolism was detected by chemiluminescence assay. Results TBP could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells by blockingcell cycle transition and by inducing apoptosis. The TBP-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells was in a dose-dependent manner. The enzyme activities of SMO and APAO were also significantly increased in HL-60 cells after treatment with 100 μM TBP for 24 hours. Conclusions TBP, as a new putrescine analogue, could inhibit proliferation of HL-60 cells by increasing the enzyme activity of SMO and APAO and inducing apoptosis.
