AIM:To determine the effect of microRNA-363(miR-363) on HepG2 cells.METHODS:Bioin-formatic analysis was conducted to identify if the Mcl-1 was regulated by miR-363.The expression of Mcl-1 and miR-363 was detected by real-time PCR in normal liver cell line LO2 and hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2, Huh7 and PLC. miR-363 was transfected into the HepG2 cells, and then the level of Mcl-1 was measured.The relative viability was evalua-ted by MTT assay after the HepG2 cells were transfected with miR-363, and the apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining.RESULTS:Bioinformatic analysis identified that there was a putative target site in the Mcl-1 mRNA for miR-363.Transfection of miR-363 mimics suppressed Mcl-1 expression in the HepG2 cells.Transfection of miR-363 mimics inhibited the cell viability as well as inducing cell apoptosis in HepG2 cells.CONCLUSION: Over-ex-pression of miR-363 significantly inhibits the cell viability and induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the downregulation of Mcl-1 caused by miR-363 transfection.

Objective To determine the value of MRI for diagnosing the posterior meniscus root tear. Methods MR examinations of 30 patients with tear of the posterior meniscus root confirmed by knee arthroscopies were retrospectively reviewed. Of the 30 patients, 17 with posterior medial meniscus root tear (MMRT) and 13 with posterior lateral meniscus root tear (LMRT). The diagnostic sensitivity of MRI for the posterior meniscus root tear was analyzed. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the detection rate of MRI for MMRT with that for LMRT. Results All 17 cases with MMRT and 9 cases out of 13 with LMRT were correctly diagnosed by MRI and the diagnostic sensitivity of MRI for the posterior meniscus root tear was 86. 7% (26/30). The main MR appearance of the posterior meniscus root tear was distortion of the meniscal root, with its low signal replaced by abnormal high signal. The detection rate of MRI for MMRT (17/17)was significantly greater than that for LMRT (9/13) ( P =0. 026). The prevalence of MMRT associated with meniscus extrusion ( 15/17 ) was significantly greater than that of LM RT ( 6/13 ) ( P = 0. 020), but the prevalence of MMRT associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (5/17) was significantly lower than that of LMRT (11/13) (P = 0. 004). Conclusion MRI is a relatively good method for detection of posterior meniscus root tears and associated injuries.

Objective To develop a method detecting hMAM gene expression of breast cancer cell lines in peripheral blood.Methods The hMAM gene was cloned and confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis and sequence analysise,the standard substance of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR )was prepared. The breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB453、MCF7 were cultured and the blood sample model was made.The hMAM expression of breast cancer cell lines blood model and 10 cases of breast cancer patient peripheral blood were detected by RT-PCR and FQ-PCR,GAPDH gene expression as contrast.Results The production of PCR was cloned and testified by sequence.The correlation coefficient(r) of standard curve line of FQ-PCR was -1.0. The x?s and CV were 718.9?120.5 and 16.7% respectively.The hMAM expression of one breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB453 in 104 blood cells could be detected, but not detected in the breast cancer cell lines MCF7. The hMAM expression was detected in 3 of 5 patients with sentinel nodes and in 1 of 5 patients with non-sentinel nodes.Conclusions It might be a good method for detecting breast cancer cell micrometastased in peripheral blood. The diffrernce of hMAM gene expression correlates with the type of breast cancer cell lines.

Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2)in gastric carcinoma tissue and normal gastric tissue of these patients,and its relationship with the clinical pathological characteristic,the microvessel density( MVD) and early post-operative recurrence,and to analyze the clinical significance of expression of HER-2 in gastric carcinoma,in order to lay the theoretical foundation of effective therapy for gastric carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 398 cases of gastric cancer and 363 cases of their adjacent non tumorous gastric tissue of Liaoning Cancer Hospital from March 2012 to July 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.The expression of HER-2 gene was detected by IHC method and Fish method.The expressive rate of HER-2 in gastric carcinoma tissue and normal gastric tissue of these pa-tients were compared,and its relationship with the clinical pathological characteristic,MVD and early post opera-tive recurrence were also analyzed.Results (1)Expressive rate of HER-2 in 398 cases of gastric cancer tissue was 14.07%(56/398),which was higher than that in all the adjacent non tumorous gastric tissue presented none expression 0(0/363)(P<0.05);(2)In gastric cancer tissue of 398,the expression of HER-2 was related with Lauren type,tumor site,vessel invasion status,TNM stage,lymph node metastases(P<0.05),and it had no cor-relation with age,sex,tumor size,histological differentiation degree,growth patterns of cancer(P>0.05).Expres-sive rate of HER-2 in T4 stage was higher than( T1 +T2 +T3 ) stage,but the difference was not statistically sig-nificant( P>0.05).(3)The value of MVD in HER-2 expressive group(58.63 ±19.97)was significantly higher than those in HER-2 non expressive group(49.04 ±19.25).A positive significant correlation was found be-tween HER-2 and MVD expression using the rank correlation matrix(P<0.001,r=4.33).(4)1 year and 1.5 year of early post operative recurrence rate in HER-2 expressive group were 16.00%、38.00%,in HER-2 non expressive group were 8.81%,25.53%,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion There is excessive expression of HER -2 in gastric cancer tissue,excessive expression of HER -2 patients withgastric cancer is correlated with Lauren type,tumor location,vessel invasion status,TNM stage,lymph node metastases;it displays no correlation with age,sex,tumor size,histological differentiation degree,growth patterns ofcancer.HER -2 expression is positively associated with MVD value.Excessive expression of HER -2 is possibleto be correlative with early post operative recurrence,and it must have further follow up to confirm.

Objective To investigate the expression of bradykinin as a substrate of CD26/DPP Ⅳ in rats with ischemia/reperfusion injury following lung transplantation (LTx). Methods Thirty-six syngeneic male SD rats were randomly allocated into control group and experimental group (n= 18each), and 36 rats served as donors. In control group and experimental group, the lungs were flushperfused and preserved with LPD and LPD+ CD26/DPP TV catalytic inhibitor (AB192) respectively,and LTx was performed 18 h after cold ischemia Histopathological studies were also done on the same locus of lung specimens and staining for bradykinin. The different proteins were separated by means of immobilized PH gradient-based two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The differential expression of bradykinin was compared by Western blotting. Results The expression of bradykinin in control group was significantly higher than in experimental group. As compared with experimental group,bradykinin expression was significantly up-regulated in control group (P <0 . 05 ). Conclusion Inhibitor of CD26/DDP Ⅳ enzymatic activity significantly ameliorated ischemia/reperfusion injury in the early stage after LTx, which is probably associated with inhibition of the protein expression of bradykinin.

Objective To evaluate the influence of rectal washout on the prognosis of rectal cancer after anterior resection.Methods Data of 144 patients with rectal cancer undergoing anterior resection at Chinese Academy of Medical Science Cancer Hospital between May 2006 and November 2007 were reviewed.69 patients received rectal washout and 75 patients did not.The incidences of recurrence and 5-year disease-free survival rates were compared.Data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software packet,using x2 and t inspection.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate postoperative survival rate.Results Washing sample was positive for malignant cells in 55 patients (79.7%).The incidences of recurrence were 4.6% and 6.7% in washout group and no-washout group respectively (x2 =0.368,P =0.721).The five-year disease-free survival rate was 79.7% in washout group and 74.7% in no-washout group(x2 =0.517,P =0.553).Conclusions Free malignant cells were ubiquitous in rectal lumen during anterior resection,and there was a high positive rate of cytological examine for washout sample.Rectal washout may reduce local recurrence and prolong patients' survival.
