Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(1):23-26
MUC4,a member of transmembrane matin family,is expressed in many kinds of tissues,organs and secretions.In addition,aberrant expression of MUC4 has been reported in a variety of carcinomas.MUC4 is a kind of multi-function proteins,and is related to the growth,invasion and metastasis of tumors.All of these features of MUG4 strongly support its role as a potential candidate for diagnosis and therapy of carcinoma.

Objective To discuss different performance of DR and CT examination on secondary pulmonary tuberculosis,to improve the clinical guidance value of CT in the diagnosis of secondary pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The image data of 52 cases with secondary pulmonary tuberculosis confirmed by pathology were collected, including chest DR radiography and CT scans.The different image characteristics of two kinds of imaging examination were analyzed and compared.Results In 52 cases of secondary pulmonary tuberculosis,chest X -ray plain film found lesions calcification in 3 cases,2 cases of bronchiectasis,pleural thickening and adhesion in 12 cases,pleural effusion in 1 case,empty cavity in 4 cases,emphysema in 1 case,the lung nodules in 5 cases.Chest CT revealed lesions calcification in 9 cases,16 cases of bronchiectasis,pleural thickening and adhesion in 40 cases,pleural effu-sion in 4 cases,empty cavity in 10 cases,emphysema in 8 cases,the lung nodules in 10 cases,6 cases of pulmonary bullae,pulmonary interstitial change:4 cases of lung reticulocyte shadows,interlobular septal thickening in 4 cases, ground glass sample density in 4 cases.Conclusion DR and CT can be used for inspection of secondary pulmonary tuberculosis,but CT is a better tool,it has important guiding role for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of immunosuppressive drugs on the activity of pancreatic islet cells, and to explore their role in islet allotransplantation. Method Human pancreatic islet cells were isolated and purified in vitro, and their activity was determined by MTT assay after incubation with immunosuppressive drugs in different concentrations. Results The activity of the islet cells was not reduced after exposure to rapamycin at lower concentrations, although exposure to rapamycin at higher concentrations (≥1ng/ml) was associated with a significant inhibition of activity. No reduction of islet cell activity was observed after exposure to daclizumab and FTY720, at either lower or higher concentrations. Conclusion Rapamycin acts to damage islet cells directly, and the degree of the damage was concentration-dependent. No obvious toxicity to the islet cells was observed after exposure to daclizumab and FTY720.

Objective Mongolian gerbil can make themself urine concentration for saving water and adapt to the harsh desert environment, due to their very unique moisture control system in the body.Methods Mongolian gerbil is resistant to drought on account of their special kidney. Histology of the kidney, ureter and bladder in Meriones Unguiculataus were observed by light microscopy using HE staining.Results The results showed that compared with rats and mice, the Mongolian gerbils have more developed distal tubules, and well developed inner renal medulla.Conclusions We hope that the findings of this study enrich our understanding of the histology of urinary system in Mongolian gerbils and provide support for the laboratory animalization of this animal.

Objective To explore the microRNA expression changes and related characteristics and analyze the corresponding miRNA target genes and their bioinformatics in colorectal cancer with liver metastasis.Methods The fresh specimens of primary CRC were collected in 10 patients during operation,with liver metastasis or without.The miRNA expression levels were compared by miRNA microarray between two groups.Then,target genes were identified using target prediction algorithms.The liver metastasis related miRNA-target networks and gene ontology (GO) bioinformatics analysis were further performed.Results A total of six dysregulated miRNAs were identified in colorectal cancer liver metastasis comparing with no metastasis,including 3 up-regulated miRNAs (miR-224,miR-1236,miR-622) and 3 downregulated miRNAs (miR-155,miR-342-5p,miR-363).miR-224 with most significantly up-regulation played regulation role not only with corresponding target-genes but also downstream genes.Conclusions As a core of the regulation networks,miR-224 can regulate the related gene functional groups simultaneously and asynchronously.It further implements the post-transcriptional regulation and plays a vital role in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Prion diseases are infectious and fatal neurodegenerative diseases. The pathogenic agent is an abnormal prion protein aggregate. Microglial activation in the centre nervous system is a characteristic feature of prion disease. In this study, we examined the effect of PrP 106-126 on PrP mRNA gene expression in Mouse microglia cells BV-2 by real-time quantitative PCR. PrP mRNA expression level was found to be significantly increased after 18 h exposure of BV-2 cells to PrP 106-126, with 3-fold increase after 18 h and 4.5-fold increase after 24 h and BV-2 cells proliferating occurred correspondingly. Our results provide the first in vitro evidence of the increase of PrP mRNA levels in microglial cells exposed to PrP 106-126, and indicate that microglial cells might play a critical role in prion pathogenesis.

We investigated and analyzed the first case of human infection with avian influenza A(H9N2) virus in Yunnan Province,China,so as to provide a better basis for preventing and controlling human infections with viruses of animal origin in the future.We carried out the field epidemiological survey among the patient,close contacts and the live poultry markets,detected and analyzed the samples from patient and the outdoor environment.Results showed that the 9-month-old boy was a case of human infection with avian influenza A(H9N2) virus with the history of live poultry markets exposure and the results of nucleic acid detection and virus isolation.There was a lot of contamination of the avian influenza virus in the live poultry markets.The second generation cases have not occurred.The monitoring of pneumonia of unknown etiology and influenza like cases in medical institutions is the important means to find timely cases of human infected with avian influenza.Regular disinfection and closing-down of live poultry markets are key measures to reduce the exposure opportunity.

Pathological characterizations of the central nervous system (CNS) of dogs with acute canine distemper were the demyelination in white matter and the formation of inclusion body in astrocytes. In order to further observe the features of primary brain lesions and inclusion body induced by Canine distemper virus (CDV) and investigate the reliant clinical neurological signs on brain lesions 10 dogs with acute canine distemper were detected in detail. To detect the lesions carefully the brain tissue was divided into three portions and eleven slices, that is cerebrum (five slices), cerebral stem (four slices) and cerebellum (two slices) according to anatomical location; stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE), luxol fast blue (LFB) and Immunohistochemical assay. The results revealed that the specific demyelination and mild lesions was widespread in cerebra tissue and severe demyelination was encircling or near the third ventricle in the brain stem. Base on mild or moderate diffuse demyelination the severe multifoci lesions occurred in cerebella. In the demyelinating areas vacuolation and spongy appearance were obvious, glial cells were a few and no inflammatory reactions were displayed. The demyelinating lesions were non-symmetric appearance and no special affinity for particular traces. The more eosinophilic intracytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in ependymal cells of lateral and the third ventricle and astrocytes that were often near the ventricles. With anti-CDV antigen assay, the ependymal cells with inclusion bodies showed an intensive positive reaction. Some of pyramidal cells, nervous nucleus cells and Purkinje cells were degeneration and cytolysis, or shrunken with pyknotic nucleus,especially in small pyramidal cells. According to this experiment it was considered that the primary brain lesions induced by CDV were a demyelinating encephalopathy, but not encephalitis. The inclusion bodies located in ependymal cells were a important evidence for determination of canine distemper in brain tissues. The brain lesions induced by CDV were non-specific injury about neuron and nervous nuclei, so that manifested the different neutrological signs.
