Objective To detect the expression of Id1 and p53 in human breast cancer and study their relationship. Methods To choose 80 cases of breast cancer from the surgical department of Tangshan people's hospital. All patients didn't get radiotherapy and chemotherapy before surgery. The expression of Idl and p53 of breast cancer were studied by using SABC immunohistochemistry. Results The expressions of Id1 were found in cytoplasm, while the expression of p53 was found in cell nucleus. The positive rates of Id1 and p53 were 87.5 %(70/80)and 90.0%(72/80) respectively in breast cancer tissues. The expression of Id1 and p53 were significantly higher in breast cancer tissue than those in adjacent non-tumor breast tissues,benign tumor tissues and normal breast tissues(P ＜0.05). The positive rates and expression intensity of Id1 in breast cancer had significant correlation with lymph node metastasis and pTNM stage of the tumor, but had no significant correlation with age, histological differentiation and tumor size. The positive rates and expression intensity of p53 in breast cancer had significant correlation with lymph node metastasis of the tumor, but had no significant correlation with age, histological differentiation,tumor size and pTNM stage. Conclusion Expression of Id1 in human breast cancer is up-regulated. Its expression is associated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage and represents an independent marker for prognosis of breast cancer. To reduce the expression of Id1 will become the strategy of curing breast cancer. Expression of Id1 and p53 in human breast cancer have the same clinic significance. Each of them can represent an independent marker for prognosis of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation, biochemically detected data, and radiographic features of a pedigree with suspected mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome, and to explore the correlations between the clinical features and the mutant heteroplasmy levels of mitochondrial genome. Methods The personal details, histories of stroke-like episodes and seizures within the proband and 11 members in the maternal lineage of the family were collected. Routine blood examinations and plasma lactate levels before and after movements of these family members were detected, followed by cephalic MRI examinations. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing were used to detect and validate the A3243G point mutation in mitochondrial genome, and real-time PCR were used to quantify the mutation proportion of A3243G. Results Typical symptoms of MELAS such as seizures, stroke-like episodes and hyperlactacidemia and atypical symptoms such as growth failure, exercise intolerance, fevers and migraines were observed on several members in the pedigree. Cephalic MRI findings performed during episode periods were in accord with the typical radiographic features of MELAS and cerebellar atrophy was commonly observed. Family members on the maternal side all harbored the point mutation on 3243 site in mitochondrial genome. Meanwhile, patients with higher heteroplasmy levels relatively manifested more typically and severely according to the clinical observation. Conclusions The pedigree is diagnosed with maternal inheritance of MELAS syndrome. The main cause can be attributed to a mitochonorial A3243G mutation.The mutant heteroplasmy levels of hemocytes in peripheral blood are positively associated with genetic relationship, seizure anticipation, plasma lactate data and other clinical features.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of intensive sit-to-stand training in improving the balance and walking of hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Sixty hemiplegic stroke patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group with 30 cases in each.Both groups were treated with routine rehabilitation.The observation group also underwent extensive sit-to-stand training.The training lasted for 15 min/time,6 times/week for 4 weeks.All of the patients were assessed with respect to their body weight distribution,Berg balance scale (BBS) scores,timed up & go test (TUGT) times and using footprint gait analysis,before the treatment and 4 weeks post treatment. Results After 4 weeks of treatment body weight distribution,BBS scores,TUGT times and gait improved significantly in both groups.The BBS,TUGT and gait improvements were significantly greater in the observation than in the control group.There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of body weight distribution. Conclusions Extensive sit-to-stand training combined with routine rehabilitation can distinctly improve the balance and walking of hemiplegic stroke survivors.

Objective To investigate the biological effect of GM-CSF on splenic dentritic cells (DCs)when used to treat severe sepsis and the influence on the prognosis.Methods All 160 male Kunming mice were randomly(random number)divided into four groups:control group(n =50),the mice didnt receive special treatment; CLP group(n =42),the mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture;conventional treatment group(n =34),the mice received intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg ceftriaxone at 12,24,36,48,60,72 and 84 h after surgery; GM-CSF treatment group(n =34),the mice received hypodermic injection of 20 μg/kg GM-CSF besides ceftriaxone at 12,36,60,and 84 h after surgery.The mice were sacrificed at 0,12,24,48 and 72 h after CLP by cervical dislocation.The amount of splenic DCs and apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytometry,and the serum concentrations of IL-12 were detected by ELISA in each group.Meanwhile the survival prognosis was observed at 96 h.Results At every time point,the apoptosis of splenic DCs increased and the amount markedly reduced in severe sepsis(P ＜0.05),the serum concentration of IL-12 increased on an one-way curve type(P ＜0.05).The treatment of cephalosporin exacerbated the loss of DCs(P ＜ 0.05),while hadnt any effect on IL-12(P ＞ 0.05).GMCSF treatment increased the amount of DCs(P ＜ 0.05),and decreased IL-12 concentrations(P ＜ 0.05).The OR of GM-CSF was 0.079 computed by Logist regression analysis.Conclusions GM-CSF treatment severe sepsis can increase the amount of splenic DCs,decrease serum levels of IL-12,and improve prognosis.

AIM:To explore the effects of the combined use of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) and cisplatin on apoptosis of HL-60 cells. METHODS:PCR-ELISA was used to determine telomerase activity in HL-60 cells untreated or treated with ASODN, the expression levels of hTERT protein were assayed by immunofluorescence using fluoresce isothiocyanate (FITC) label. Apoptosis was detected by DNA electrophoresis and flow cytomertric cell cycle analysis. RESULTS:The expression levels of hTERT protein and telomerase activity in HL-60 cells treated with ASODN were shown to decrease with time, the DNA fragments were obviously found and the percentage of apoptosis cells was significantly enhanced in HL-60 cells with the combined use of hTERT ASODN and cisplatin compared with the combined use of hTERT sense oligodeoxynucleotide and cisplatin or cisplatin alone, respectively. CONCLUSION:Inhibition of telomerase activity by hTERT ASODN increases the cisplatin-induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells.
