Objective To investigate the expression of p27kip1, CyclinE, CyclinD1 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC), and evaluate their relationship with turnout cell proliferation. Methods To study the expression of p27kip1, CyclinE and CyclinD1 protein in 41 cases of paraffin-embedded BTCC tissue and in 12 cases of cystitis tissues by immunohistochemical method SP. Results There was a negative relationship between p27kip1 expression and clinical stage and pathological grade.There was no relationship with lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). There was a positive relationship between CyclinE expression and clinical stage, pathological grade and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). There was no relationship between CyclinD1 expression and clinical stage, pathological grade and lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). Conclusion The results of this study showed that the abnormal expression of p27kip1, CyclinE, may play important roles in the genesis and progression of BTCC. CyclinD1 may take activation in the early term of BTCC.

Objective The aim of this study was to establish a rat model of irritable bowel syndrome.Methods Thirty healthy adult SD rats ( mele:female=1:1 ) were divided into normal control group, model group, and positive control group ( pinaverium bromide tablets 15.0 mg/kg) for 31 days.Body weight, appetite, defecation, voluntary move-ment of all the rats were determined.The rates of gastric emptying and small intestinal propulsion rate were measured.The serum 5-HT and plasma SP and VIP or 5-HT, SP, VIP in colon homogenates were assessed by radioimmunoassay.Blood biochemical parameters were measured with an automatic biochemical analyzer.The gastric and intestinal morphology was evaluated by histological examination.Results After modeling, the rat weight and food intake were decreased, ad stool quantity was increased.The voluntary movement and gastric emptying rates were decreased, intestinal propulsion rates were increased, and the contents of SP and VIP in blood were decreased, but increased in the colonic homogenate (P<0.05, P<0.01).After treatment, the food intake was increased and stool quantity was decreased, the rat body weight was signifi-cantly increased, the amount of voluntary movement and stool returned near to normal, the 5-HT levels in serum or in co-lonic homogenate were significantly decreased, but plasma VIP levels were markedly increased, and the SP and VIP con-tents were significantly decreased in colonic homogenate in the positive control group (P<0.05, P<0.01).Hematology indexes had no obvious changes.The gastric and colonic tissue morphology showed no distinct damages caused by the di-verse stimulating factors.Conclusions The stimulation of composite factors can be used to successfully generate the rat model of irritable bowel syndrome, showing similar clinical manifestation of this disease in humans.
