Purpose To investigate the protein expression of p53 and E-cadherin in gastric adenocarcinoma and the effects of them and the clinicopathological parameters on prognosis of patients.Methods Expression of p53,E-cadherin in 150 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma was detected by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry.The effects of them and the clinicopathological parameters on the prognosis of patients were studied by Kaplan-Meier method to calculate and compare the cumulative survival rate and postoperative mean survival time.Multivariate analysis was also performed by COX regression.Results The positive rate of p53 and E-cadherin expression in 150 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma was 31.3% and 91.3%,respectively.74 cases were followed up, and the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates were 83.8%,70.3% and 63.5%,respectively.The invasion, lymph node status and pTNM stages were prognostic factors;multivariate analysis revealed that p53,age and lymph node status were independent prognostic invasion, lymph node status and pTNM stages are important prognostic factors in gastric adenocarcinoma. Nevertheless, E-cadherin and histological classification are not prognostic factors.

The inhibitory effect of astilbin on transplant arteriosclerosis in murine model of thoracic aorta transplantation was examined.Model of rat thoracic aorta transplantation was established.Ninety rats were divided into three groups.In isograft group,the thoracic aorta of Brown Norway (BN) rat was anastomosed with the abdominal aorta of another BN rat.In allograft group,the thoracic aorta of BN rat was anastomosed with the abdominal aorta of Lewis rat.In astilbin group,the rats receiving allo-transplantation were given astiibin 5 mg/kg per day for a time of 28 days.The donor thoracic aorta and the recipient abdominal aorta were anastomosed by means of a polyethylene cannula (inner diameter:1.5 mm,length:3 mm length).The grafts were histologically examined for structural changes.The areas of arterial lumen and endatrium were calculated.Our results showed that,in the allograft group,28 days after aliografting,conspicuous proliferation of smooth muscles and infiltration with a great number of inflammatory cells were found in the tunica intima and tunica media.Astilbin significantly inhibited the proliferation of smooth muscles and ameliorated the infiltration of inflammatory cells thereyby prevent against the development of transplant arteriosclerosis.It is concluded that asltilbin can effectively prevent the development of arteriosclerosis in allotrausplant by inhibiting the proliferation of smooth muscles and inhibit the proliferation of smooth muscles in tunica of intima and media and reducing infiltration of the inflammatory cells.
