Objective:To study the expressions of Skp2 and P27 in the normal and tumor tissues of salivary glands,and then to evaluate their significance in the development and progression of salivary tumor.Methods:SP immunohistochemical method was used to evaluate the expression of Skp2 and P27 in the normal and tumor tissues of salivary glands. Results:The rates of Skp2 and P27 expression were neither significantly different between polymorphic adenoma and basal cell adenomas, nor significantly different between adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidemoid carcinoma. The rates of Skp2 positive were significantly different between normal salivary glands and benign salivary tumor, as well as between normal salivary glands and malignant salivary tumor. The rates of Skp2 and P27 positive were significantly different between normal salivary glands and malignant salivary tumor.Conclusion:Skp2 overexpression and decreased expression of P27 might play an important role in the development and progression of salivary tumor, overexpression of Skp2 protein may lead to increase of P27 degradation.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the correlation between HBV-DNA level, sterol O-acyltransferase (SOAT1) expression and tumor differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods　The clinical and HBV-DNA level data from 58 cases of HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma were collected, and the cancer tissues and their paired paracancerous tissues were collected to detect SOAT1 expression by immunohistochemistry and evaluate tumor differentiation. Correlation was statistically analyzed using chi-square tests. Results　The high-level rate of HBV-DNA in the SOAT1 high expression group was 81.1% (30/37) compared to 19.1% (4/21) of the SOAT1 low expression group, with statistical significance, and there was also a correlation between SOAT1 expression and HBV-DNA levels (χ2=21.253,P<0.05). In the low differentiation hepatocellular carcinoma group, the rate of HBV-DNA high levels was 71.1% (27/38), while it was 35.0% (7/20) in the well-moderate differentiation group, with statistical significance. There was also a significant correlation between HBV-DNA levels and tumor differentiation degree (χ2=7.021,P<0.05). The overall positive rate of SOAT1 expression in all collected cases was 63.8% (37/58), with no expression (0/58) detected in all paired paracancerous tissues, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Furthermore, the expression level of SOAT1 protein in cancer tissues was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (χ2=19.889,P<0.05). SOAT1 was generally highly expressed in the low differentiated case group, with a positive rate of 84.2% (32/38), while SOAT1 was generally low expression or no expression in HCC samples with a higher degree of differentiation, with only a few samples exhibiting high expression, with a high expression rate of 25.0% (5/20). Conclusions　There is a correlation between HBV-DNA levels and hepatocellular carcinoma differentiation degree, with higher levels of HBV-DNA detected in low differentiation tumors. Additionally, the expression level of SOAT1 is also related to the degree of differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma, and the expression level of SOAT1 in low differentiated carcinoma is also higher. Furthermore, there is a positive correlation between HBV-DNA levels and SOAT1 expression levels, and SOAT1 is a key enzyme involved in cellular lipid metabolism. These findings suggest that HBV infection may affect the function and level of SOAT1, which may interfere with hepatocyte lipid metabolism and participate in tumor genesis and evolution.

Objective To establish an expression system of TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein by baculovirus vector ex-pression system and identify biological function of expressed TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein. Methods γ9Fc and 82 (OT3) Fc gene fragments were amplified by overlap PCR and inserted into expression vector pBACp10ph. The recombinant plasmid pBACp10ph-γ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc and the baculovirus DNA were co-transfected into st9 cells. The expression position of TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc was identified by Western blot and the expression efficiency of γ9Fc and δ2 (OT3) Fc was tested by flow cytometry (FCM). Furthermore, the binding activity of TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc protein with SKOV3 ceils and MNS protein was evaluated with laser scanning confocal microslopy and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Results The recombinant vector pBACp10ph-γ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc was constructed and TCRγ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc protein was expressed in sf9 ceils. However, the expression efficiency of γ9Fc and 82 (0T3) Fc was quite differ-ent. It was proved that purified TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc protein can bind with SKOV3 cell and MNS protein. Conclu-sion TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein is successfully expressed in baculovirus vector expression system and TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein can simulate the binding activity of TCR in vitro.

Objective To explore the correlation between postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)and serum level of S100βand NSE in patients undergoing on-pump heart valve replacement. Methods Ninety-eight patients underwent elective heart valve replacement were enrolled and divided into two groups:POCD group (group P)and none POCD group(group NP)by the result of neurocog-nitive testing with MMSE performed preoperatively and on the first postoperative day.Serum S-100βprotein and NSE were measured before operation(T0 ),at the end of operation(T1 ),24 h(T2 )and 48 h(T3 ) postoperatively.Results The incidence of POCD on the first postoperative day was 45 (45.9%).Compared with T0 ,the S100βincreased at T1 in both groups (P <0.05),NSE increased at T1 and T2 in both groups,and NSE increased in group NP at T3 (P <0.05).There was no signifi-cant difference of NSE between groups P and NP.The prolonged recovery time(OR = 1.222,P =0.004)and increased concentration of S100βat the end of operation(OR=1.85,P =0.009)were pre-dictors of POCD on the first postoperative day.Conclusion There was a higher incidence of POCD af-ter on-pump heart valve replacement surgery.The prolonged recovery time and increased concentra-tion of S100βat the end of operation might be predictors of POCD.
