Background:Gastric cancer is one of the malignant tumors with highest morbidity and mortality,and the early change of molecular marker in gastric mucosal lesion is the hot spot of gastric cancer study. Aims:To investigate the expressions and clinical significance of trefoil factor 2(TFF2),claudin 18(CLDN18),mucin 5AC(MUC5AC)in gastric mucosal lesions. Methods:Gastroscopy biopsies and surgery specimens from Dec. 2008 to May 2009 at Inner Mongolia People’s Hospital were collected,including 20 normal gastric mucosal tissues,20 intestinal metaplasia tissues,11 dysplasia tissues and 20 gastric cancer tissues. The protein expressions of TFF2, CLDN18, MUC5AC were determined by immunohistochemical SP method. Results:The positive expression rates of TFF2,CLDN18 and MUC5AC in normal gastric mucosal tissues were all 100% ,and were gradually decreased in the order of intestinal metaplasia,dysplasia and gastric cancer tissue,the differences were statistically significant(P < 0. 01). Conclusions:Expressions of TFF2,CLDN18 and MUC5AC protein are closely related to the degree of malignancy of gastric mucosal lesions,and can be considered as a potential biological marker for predicting the development and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To study the real-time gait behavioral changes in rat models of experimental diabetic peripheral neuropathy.Methods Twenty-five SPF Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into experimental group ( 6 males and 7 females) and control group (6 males and 6 females).Diabetes was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin ( STZ ) in a dose of 45 mg/kg.The gait behavior in all rats was tested at 12 weeks after diabetes modelling.Results Compared with the control group, the rats with diabetic peripheral neuropathy showed statistically significant different walk cycle extension, walk speed, average print intensity, balance and coordination.The abnormal gait behavior of the rat models was mainly reflected in the increased average and each foot walk cycle extension ( P<0.01 ) , average intensity (P<0.05), absolute average body rotation (P<0.01),and shortened both homologous coupling and homolateral coupling( P <0.05 ) .Conclusions Experimental rat models of diabetic peripheral neuropathy can exhibit obvious changes of gait behavior, and may provide a reference for related clinical and basic research.
