To explore a new mode of teaching activities and management of clinical practice, our hospital adopted various methods, including computer training and exams, selecting practice guiding experts among the three level specialties, establishing labs for the operation of basic skills, using credit books for trainees and adopting integrated education on disease entities. In the past, teachers could teach and set exams in whatever way they liked and students did not have enough opportunities to come across various disease entities or to operate with their hands. Now such shortcomings have been overcome. Students can receive comprehensive, systematic and standard training in clinical operations. At the same time, their quality with regard to professional knowledge and ethics has also been enhanced.

Objective To explore the relationship between WWOX gene and attachment and adhesion of ovarian cancer. Methods The expression of WWOX mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, the expression of the WWOX protein was evaluated by western blot in WWOX-transfected PEO1 cells (H6, H7, H8 cell) and vector-transfected control cells (vec-1, vec-2 cell). Attachment assay was used to assess the adhesion of the tranafection in PEOI cells via culturing the cells on the pre-coated fibronectin wells. RNA interference (RNAi) was used to knockdown the endogenous expression of WWOX in the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line by liposome. Attachment assay was detected the adhesion to fibronectin after gene silencing. Restdts RT-PCR showed that expression of mRNA WWOX in exon9 was in all transfection cells (H6, H7, H8, vec-1, vec-2 cell ). Western blot showed that expression of WWOX protein was in the WWOX-transfected cells (H6, H7, H8 cell ), but not in the vector-transfected cells (vec-1, vec-2 cell ). Attachment assay showed that H6, H7, H8 cell (0.098±0.003, 0.091±0.004, 0.099±0.003) adhered more slowly to fibronectin than vec-1, vec-2 cell (0.185±0.003, 0.175±0.006) and non-transfected PEO1 cell (0.211±0.007), and demonstrated significantly reduced adhesion after 2 hours (P < 0.01). A2780 adhesive cells that WWOX gene be knockdown was 0.059±0.005, adhered more significantly rapid than those untreated cells that was 0.029±0.003 after treated 30 minutes (P < 0.05 ). Conclusions WWOX gene can suppress adhesion to fibronectin in ovarian cancer cells. This suggests an important role for loss of WWOX gene in promoting attachment and adhesion of ovarian cancer cells on loco-regional peritoneum, and further resulting in enhancing loco-regional peritoneal tumor invasiveness and spread.

Background and purpose:The occurrence of endometrial cancer may be related to the persistent stimulus of endogenous and exogenous estrogen without progesterone antagonist. But how does estrogen regulate cell proliferation is still unknown. AKT pathway is the most important signal transduction way to mediate proliferation in the cells. The main aim was to study whether estradiol induces the expression of VEGF, bFGF and IL-8 in the endometrial cancer HEC-1A cells by activating AKT, and its effect on proliferation. Methods:Western blot was used to detect the expression of AKT protein in HEC-1A cells after estradiol stimulation, AKT inhibitor or ER inhibitor stimulation followed by estradiol. Real-time PCR and ELISA were used to detect the gene and protein expression of VEGF, bFGF and IL-8 in different inhibitors. Cell colony formation assay, lfow cytometry and CFSE assay were used to examine the proliferation in HEC-1A cells. Results:The expression of p-AKT protein in HEC-1A cells after stimulation with estradiol was markedly higher than that in the control group (P=0.006 2);the expression of p-AKT protein in AKT inhibitor group and ER inhibitor group were signiifcantly decreased than that in estradiol group (P=0.006 0, P=0.006 4). qPCR and ELISA showed the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF, bFGF, IL-8 in estradiol group were signiifcantly increased than that in control group (P<0.05);The expressions of VEGF, bFGF, IL-8 in AKT inhibitor group and ER inhibitor group were signiifcantly decreased than that in estradiol group (P<0.01). The abilities of proliferation and cell cycle were signiifcantly increased in HEC-1A cells after estradiol stimulation. Conclusion:Estrogen induces the production of VEGF, bFGF and IL-8 through activating AKT signal pathway.
