Objective To observe the expression of p53, bcl 2 genes, vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin like growth factor I (IGF I), and the receptors of these factors of retinal vascular endothelial cells (VECs) of 1 to 20 week diabetic rats, and the relationship between the expressions and cell cycle arrest. Methods Retinal sections of diabetic rats induced by alloxan were immunohistochemically stained and observed by light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM). Dot blotting and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of mRNA, proteins of p53 and bcl 2. Results Under LM, immunohistochemical positive expression of p53 and bcl 2 were found on the vessels of ganglion cell layer and inner nuclear layer of retinae of 8 to 20 week diabetic rats; under EM, these substances were observed depositing in VECs. The retinal VECs also expressed VEGF, bFGF, IGF I and their receptors. There was no positive expression of other cell types in these retinae, all cell types of retinae in control group, or all cells of retinae of diabetic rats with the course of disease of 1 to 6 weeks. The result of dot blotting revealed that retinal tissue of 20 week diabetic rat expressed p53 and bcl 2 mRNA, and the result of Western blotting revealed that they also expressed p53 and bcl 2 proteins. But retinal tissues of control group did not. Positive expression of bax was not found in the retinae in control group or 1 to 20 week diabetic rats. Conclusion p53, bcl 2 may introduce cell cycle arrest of VECs of retinae in 8 to 20 week diabetic rats. High glucose might stimulate the expression of VEGF, bFGF, IGF I and their receptors, and the growth factors may keep VECs surviving by self secretion.

BACKGROUND: Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is precise and effective for the isolation and analysis of complex protein mixtures, has become one of valuable key techniques for proteome. Mice models were as research subjects to model human disease status, one of important methods for cardiovascular disease. The establishment and optimization of 2-DE for proteomes of mice myocardium will provide basis for heart disease.OBJECTIVE: To establish and optimize a stable technique of 2-DE for proteomic analysis of mice myocardium.DESIGN: Mice were used as research subjects, observational comparative study.SETTING: Department of Pathology, Nanfang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was performed at the Department of Pathology, Nanfang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University between February and September 2004. Totally 12 male BABL/c mice of 4-5 weeks without special-pathogen free with the body mass of 12-15 g were selected, which was provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Southern Medical University.METHODS: The mice were put to death by dislocation of cervical vertebra under drugged state to obtain heart. Various protein extraction method,loading sampling buffer, strip range of IPG, sampling volume of protein,staining method and so on were compared, analyzed, scanned and digilized,and then performing image analysis. Each link in the study was established and optimized.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Resolution of protein and reproducibility of the trial.RESULTS: A method that was optimal for cardiac tissue can isolate about a total of 910 protein spots on pH 4-7 gel strips. 200 μg was fit for silver stain while 1000 μg was for Coomassie stains. It was found that in the myocardium of normal mice about (920±30) protein spots were obtained in 17 em pH 3-10 L gel strip, while around (880±30) were gained in the pH 4-7 L gel strip. The mean matching rate achieves to 86. 9%.CONCLUSION: The findings of the trial showed that 2-DE technique can be effectively applied for proteomics of myocardium of mice to regulate and optimize, and relatively stable separation method of myocardial protein was established.

BACKGROUND: The role of p53 gene in human lung cancer has been confirmed. Since the discovery of p63 gene as the homologue of p53, its role and possible mechanism-have aroused the attention of investigators all over the world. But the principle concerning transcription and expression of p63 in small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the level of the expression of p63 gene in SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma tumor tissues, peri-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues, and observe the expression of p63 protein in these tissues so as to understand the principle and clinical significance concerning p63gene expression in SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma.DESIGN: Controlled experiment.SETTING: Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Research Institute of Field Surgery of Daping Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Six SCLC specimens dissected during the surgical operation in Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical Univers ity of Chinese PLA, between October 2000 and September 2002 , were recruited. There were 4 male and 2 female patients aged 42 to 67 years (mean age of 50.7years); 15 specimens of lung adenocarcinoma were also collected at the same time. Tumor tissues, peri-carcinoma tissues and normal tissues were chosen in each specimen.METHODS: Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)was used to detect and compare the transcription expression of two subtypes of p63 gene (TAP63 and △NP63)in the tumor tissues of 6 cases of SCLC and 15 cases of lung adenocarcinoma. At the same time, immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of p63protein in the above tissues.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Expression of p63 protein detected by RT-PCR in tissue specimens. ② Expression of p63 protein detected in tissue specimens detected by immunohistochemical staining technique.RESULTS: ① Expression of p63 protein detected by RT-PCR in tissue specimens: The positive expression of △Np63 gene could be found in 5cases (83%, 5/6) of SCLC cancer tissues and 1 case of SCLC peri-carcinoma tissues (17%, 1/6), and the expression of TAp63 was not observed in all of the tumor, peri-carcinoma and normal tissues of SCLC. There was no expression of △Np63 or TAp63 in tumor, peri-carcinoma and normal tissues of lung adenocarcinoma. ② Expression of p63 protein detected by immunohistochemical staining in tissue specimens: The positive expression rate of p63 protein in SCLC tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in lung adenocarcinoma tissues [83% (5/6), 17% (1/6), P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: p63 gene shows positive expression in SCLC, among which the expression level of △NP63 is increased while the expression level of p63 protein is obviously higher in SCLC than in adenocarcinoma tissues, which may be related to its regulatory role in the occurrence and development of SCLC. It is presumed that△NP63 gene has high transcription expression level in SCLC, which might inhibit cellular apoptosis, promote the proliferation of tumors, play the role as an oncogene. It suggests that p63 may be one of the factors influencing the prognosis of SCLC.

Objective:To investigate the MRI features of the primary sinonasal malignant melanoma (SMM) and evaluate the signal pattern based on T 1WI and T 2WI, in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of SMM. Methods:The MRI findings of 63 SMM cases confirmed by pathology from April 2007 to November 2018 at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. The signal intensity of malignant melanoma was classified into four types(Ⅰ—Ⅳ) according to the proportion of signal areas of the largest slice of the tumor on T 1WI and T 2WI. The classification criteria according to T 1WI: type Ⅰ, the area of hyperintensity was ≥50%; type Ⅱ, the area of hyperintensity was <50%; type Ⅲ, the tumor did not show hyperintensity, and the area of isointensity was ≥50%; type Ⅳ, the tumor did not have high signal area, and the area of low signal was ≥50%. The classification criteria according to T 2WI: type Ⅰ, the area of low signal in the tumor was ≥50%; type Ⅱ, the area of low signal was <50%; type Ⅲ, the tumor did not contain low signal area, and the area of isointensity was ≥50%; type Ⅳ, the tumor did not have low signal area, and the area of high signal intensity was ≥50%. The proportion of each type was calculated. Results:According to T 1WI, typeⅠwas identified in 27 cases (42.9%, 27/63), typeⅡ in 25 cases (39.7%, 25/63), type Ⅲ in 4 cases (6.3%, 4/63), and type Ⅳ in 7 cases (11.1%, 7/63). According to T 2WI, type Ⅰwas demonstrated in 29 cases (46.0%, 29/63), type Ⅱ in 28 cases (44.4%, 28/63), type Ⅲ in 2 cases (3.3%, 2/63), and type Ⅳ in 4 cases (6.3%, 4/63). There were 16 cases classified as type I based on T 1WI and T 2WI. Conclusions:Typical and atypical SMM can be identified according to signal patterns. The typeⅠsignal pattern of SMM cases on T 1WI and T 2WI is typical and can be easily diagnosed, but the proportion was less than 50%. For atypical SMM, malignant melanoma should be strongly suspected if hyperintense on T 1WI or hypointense on T 2WI is found.
