BACKGROUND: Gene chip of expression spectrum is used to make contrastive analysis of the changes of gene expression of histocytes derived from different individuals, tissues, cell cycles, developmental stages, differentiating stages, physiological and pathological status, and stimulating conditions.OBJECTIVE: To investigate gene expression changes of cerebral tissues of mice at different phases after ischemia/reperfusion injury, and screen out and understand genes related to cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled animal study.SETTING: Laboratory of the Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences;Laboratory of Shanghai Biostar Gene Chip Co., Ltd.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Laboratory of Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital University Medical Sciences, and the Laboratory of Shanghai Biostar Gene Chip Co., Ltd. from September 2002 to October 2003. Totally 20 male mice of C57BL/6 species were selected and randomized into 4 groups with 5 in each group: 48-hour and 10-day sham-operation groups and 48-hour and 10-day cerebral ischemia-reperfusion groups.METHODS: The bilateral common carotid arteries of mice in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group were blocked with clamp for 20 minutes to establish models of cerebral ischemia/perfusion injury. The bilateral common carotid arteries of mice in sham-operation group were separated without clamp. We killed the mice by breaking off their necks at the 48th hour and 10th day after operation. Expression changes of cerebral tissues of mice were detected with BiostarM-20 s gene chip of expression spectrum.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of gene expression of cerebral tissues of mice in each group.RESULTS: A total of 20 mice were involved in the result analysis. ①Differential expression gene in 48-hour sham-operation group and 48-hour cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group showed that the number of up-regulated expression genes was 30. Among them the most obvious up-regulated gene was related to DNA synthesis, repair and transcription. The number of down-regulated expression genes was 119. Among them the most obvious down-regulated gene was protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) gene related to cellular signal and transferrin protein. ② Differential expression gene between 10-day sham-operation group and 10-day cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group showed no up-regulated gene, but 7 down-regulated genes, and the most obvious down-regulated gene was the one that related to cell apoptosis.CONCLUSION: At the 48th hour after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, upregulated gene is the one that related to DNA synthesis, repair and transcription, which is helpful for cerebral tissue repair after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Genes related to cell signal and transferrin are down-regulated, and can level off barrier of endothelial cells and relieve cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. At the 10th day after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, cell apoptosis-related gene is down-regulated, and can accelerate apoptosis and aggravate injury of cerebral cells, which may be related to delayed neuronal necrosis.

To study the relationship between the occurrence of pancreatic cancer with diabetes mellitus, other medical conditions and familial history in Chinese population. A case control study comprising 493 histologically confirmed pancreatic cancer patients and 1031 hospital non neoplastic controls matched with age, sex and economical income was conducted. The value of odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) to estimate the relative risk of diabetes mellitus, other medical conditions and familial history were calculated. The results showed that ORs and 95%CIs of diabeties diagnosed 2 years prior to the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, cholelithiasis, chronic pancreatitis, cancer history, pulmonary tuberculosis, Helicobacter pylori infection, family history of cancer and family history of diabetes mellitus were 4 64(2 05~10 49),4 12(2 81~6 04),18 38(6 33~53 35),9 47(4 97~18 06),4 21(2 30~7 72),1 14(0 45~2 89),2 01(1 29~3 14), 0 83(0 15~4 56) respectively. The p values of diabeties and cholelithiasis in logistic regression analysis were less than 0 05. The analysis suggested that diabetes mellitus, cholelithiasis, chronic pancreatitis, cancer history, pulmonary tuberculosis, and family history of cancer were risk factors of pancreatic cancer, whereas diabetes mellitus and cholelithiasis were the independent factors.

Smoking is presently the only generally accepted risk factor for pancreatic cancer. In recent studies, reproductive history has been associated with pancreatic cancer, but with contradictory results. In order to evaluate a possible association between age of first parturition and the number of births and pancreatic cancer, we conducted a case control study with a hospital background. Association between age of first parturition and the number of births and pancreatic cancer was found, and it remained after adjustment for cigarettes smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, cholelithiasis, cholecystectomy, diabetes mellitus, chronic pancreatitis and partial gastrectomy. Young age of first parturition and high reproductive history, such as 3 or more births were risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

Objective To study the effects of small dosage insulin on intestinal inflammatory responses to endotoxin rats. Method Thirty two male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8): control group, endotoxin (LPS,6 mg/kg i.p.)group, regular insulin(RI,0.5 IU/kg hypodermic) group and LPS(6 mg/kg i.p) + RI (0.5 IU/kg hypodermic)group. Six hours after LPS or saline injection,all rats were laparotomized to observe the congestion in intestinal mucosa with naked-eyes and photography.Then a segment of intestine was stained with HE to observe the pathological changes. The expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR.The systemic inflammatory response,blood sugar and food taken in rats were observed simultaneously. Software SPSS 13.0 was used to perform ANOVA and Chi-square test for statistical analysis. Results Compared with LPS group, the differences in hyperemia and inflammatory cell infiltration in intestinal tissue were not noticeable in LPS + RI group. The expression of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly attenuated in RI + LPS group (P < 0.01). All rats in LPS group manifested systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) four or five hours after LPS treatment, while there was none in LPS + RI group. Rats in LPS group took less food than rats of other groups while the blood sugar had litter difference in all groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Small dosage of insulin could reduce intestinal inflammation caused by endotoxemia. Early administration of insulin ould prevent the presence of SIRS while it has no obvious influence on blood sugar.

Objective To investigate the effects of macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) combined with molecule 4-1BB L on the tumorigenicity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vivo. Methods Mouse MIP-1α (mMIP-1α) expressed Hepa 1-6 cells were transfected with m4-1BBL recombinant retrovirus, the anti-histidinol cells clones were selected and amplified. The expression of m4-1BB L was confirmed by flow cytometry. The growth curve of Hepa 1-6 cells transfected with mMIP-1α and m4-1BBL alone or together was drawn and compared. C57B/L Mice were randomly divided into 7 groups, 9 mice in each group, injected with mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L Hepa 1-6 cells, m4-1BB L Hepa 1-6 cells, mMIP-1α Hepa 1-6 cells, Hepa 1-6 cells, pLXSHD Hepa 1-6 cells or PBS respectively. The tumorigenicity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the mice survival rate were compared between each groups. Results Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L cells which expressed both mMIP-1α and m4-1BB L were successfully established. The expression of mMIP-1α and m4-1BB L alone or together did not affect the growth curve of Hepa 1-6 cells. Observed for 5 weeks, no tumor developed in Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L injected mice. The tumorigenicity of Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BB L was lower than that of Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α or Hepa 1-6 m4-1BB L in vivo. The survival rate of Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α+m4-1BBL injected mice(9/9) was higher than that of Hepa 1-6 m4-1BB L injected mice (6/9)or Hepa 1-6 mMIP-1α injected mice (1/9). Conclusion Chemokine MIP-1α combined with costimulatory 4-1BB L lowered the tumorigenicity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vivo, and prolonged the mice survival period.
