Objective To study the effect of exogenous 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) on blood glucose of normal mice. Methods Kunming male mice were divided into two groups: 3-DG (5mg/kg) treatment and control group.At day 1,week 1 and week 2 after treatment, we compared fasting blood glucose,and did the glucose tolerance test in 3-DG group after 2 weeks' 3-DG administration. Results Blood glucose was increased obviously 2h after administration with 3-DG once versus pre-administration and control (7.78±0.694 vs 6.41±0.408,and 6.43±0.43,all higher than control,but no statistical significance (P＞0.05). There were no differences in 6 hour fasting blood glucose after once administration with 3-DG and in 12 hours fasting blood glucose two weeks after administration with 3-DG between 3-DG and Con groups. After 3-DG administration for two weeks,as compared with Con, the 30 minute blood glucose of 3-DG administration mice during OGTT was obviously increased (19.47±1.541 vs 17.22±1.911,P＜0.05), but glucose levels at 60 minute and 120 minute had no changes (P＞0.05). Conclusions Exogenous 3-DG increases the normal mice's blood glucose immediately after once administration with 3-DG and results in up-moving of glucose physiological curve and leads to a light impairment of glucose tolerance when mice were continuously fed with 3-DG for 2 weeks.

Objective To investigate the expression of hypoxia - inducible factor -1 alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor in gastric carcinoma and its clinical significance. Methods The expression was detected by immunohistochemistry method in 100 cases of gastric carcinoma tissues of patients with carcinoma and HIF-1 alpha, VEGF, VEGF test results comparing the carcinoma tissue and adjacent normal tissues, HIF-1 alpha; different differentiation degree and infiltration depth of tumor tissue of HIF-1 alpha and VEGF detection results of recurrence or metastasis;group, no recurrence or metastasis detection results of HIF-1 alpha and VEGF tumor tissue cancer group. Results The positive rate of HIF-1 expression in gastric tumor tissue of patients with cancer (60.00％), the positive expression rate of VEGF (64.00％) were significantly higher than those in adjacent normal tissues (21.00％, 14.00％), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); high ang middle differentiation, invasive depth of tumor tissue before plasma membrane positive in patients with gastric cancer the rate of VEGF, HIF-1 alpha, was low, the data had significant differences (P<0.05); the positive rate of HIF-1 alpha and VEGF expression of gastric carcinoma tumor recurrence or metastasis was found in (70.97％), the positive expression rate of VEGF (77.42％) were significantly higher than those of HIF-1 alpha and VEGF expression in patients with gastric cancer recurrence or tumor tissue the transfer of (55.07％, 57.97％), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion HIF-1 alpha and VEGF play an important role in the recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer, is an important basis for the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer patients, clinicians should understand the patients with gastric cancer HIF-1 alpha and VEGF expression, so as to reduce the recurrence and metastasis rate is of important value.

Objective To study the effects of HBeAg in new born infants on the response to anti-hepatitis B immunoglobulin combined with hepatitis B vaccination.Methods Two hundred and eight infants who were born during January 2008 to January 2011 in the Department of Obstetrics in Second Affiliated Hospital of Southeast University,including 120 serum HBeAg positive infants without intrauterine infection,and 88 HBeAg negative infants as control group were recruited in the study.Infants in both groups were vaccinated with genetically engineered hepatitis B vaccine (CHO cell) 20 μg according to a standard vaccination regimen (i.e.0,1,6) and 200 IU doses of hepatitis B immunoglobulin immediately after birth and at day 15 respectively.Hepatitis B virus (HBV) serological markers and HBV DNA were measured at birth prior to immunization.HBsAg,HBeAgand hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) were detected at 1,7,and 12 months after birth to evaluate the effects of immune response.The date were analyzed by the chi-square test and groups were analyzed by t test.Results No statistical significances of anti-HBs were observed between the serum HBeAg positive group and the serum HBeAg negative group at the 1st,7th and the 12th month of birth (t=1.285,0.563 and-0.971,respectively; all P＞0.05).The anti-HBs titers in both groups at 1 month were higher than at birth (P＜0.05).At 7 months after birth,the anti-HBs titers in both groups were even higher than those at 1 month.At 12 months after birth,the anti-HBs titers in both groups were lower than those at 7 months,but still higher than those at 1 month(F=34.3959 and 64.908,respectively; both P＜0.01).Infants who were born with positive serum HBeAg were further divided into two subgroups according to the HBeAg titers,using the median HBeAg titer (47.495 S/CO) as the cut off point.Between the two subgroups,there were also no significant differences of anti-HBs at 1 month,7 months and 12 months (all P＞0.05).The HBeAg titers in HBeAg positive infants decreased gradually after birth.At 7 months,only 3 infants remained HBeAg positive.At 12 months,HBeAg turned negative in all of the 120 infants who were previously HBeAg positive,and no anti-HBe positivity were detected.Conclusion The production of anti-HBs after combined immunization with anti-hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine in infants is independent of HBeAg serology at birth.

Objective To examine loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) of locus D8S532 on chromosome 8 and their influence on the expression of sFRP1 in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCCs), which may provide an experimental evidence for clarifying the mechanism of sFRP1 gene and tumor development. Methods DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and ordinary silver stain were used to study LOH and MSI of locus D8S532. Envision immunohistochemistry, Leica-Qwin computerized imaging system and Image-Pro PluS (IPP) version 4.5 professional imaging analysis software were used to assess the expression of sFRP1. Results The detection rates of LOH and MSI of locus D8S532 in the 36 specimens of HCC were 11.11% and 8.33% respectively. The down-regulation of sFRP1 was observed in 31 of 36 HCCs (86.11%) compared with non-carcinoma liver tissues, and the positive rate of sFRP1 protein of the HCCs was 52.78%( 19/36 ). The frequency of LOH was lower in the cases with positive expression of sFRP1 protein than those negative (0 vs 23.53%, P <0.05). Conclusion It was a common phenomenon that expression of sFRP1 protein is negative or low in Chinese with HCCs. The genetic instability of sFRP1 gene was one of causes, which lead to HCCs. LOH may play a major role in negative expression of sFRP1.

The effect of micronutrient complex preparations on dark adaptation function was studied in human body. Sixty-four young students, 18 to 20 years of age, were divided into four groups. Under the normal dietary condition, the experimental groups were supplemented with different microcutrient complex preparations for two weeks.Before and after the experiment serum vita- min A and zinc level, quick dark adaptation time, near-sighted in dim light time and absolute threshold were determined. It was found that dark adaptation was much improved in the group supplemented with adequate vitamin A as well as other vitamins and zinc. So we suggested that micronutrient complex preparation should be given to operators who will concentrate their sight in low illuminance for maintaining their visual function.
