Objective To investigate the correlations between chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) infection and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Specific Cpn antibodies and the DNA were measured in 51 patients with AMI (AMI group), 42 patients with old myocardial infarction (OMI group) and 31 normal controls (NC group) who had no angiographic evidence of coronary artery diseases. Moreover, the changes of and relationships between fibrinogen (Fg), hemorheological parameters and Cpn infection were determined in the three groups. Results The positive rates and levels of Cpn IgG and Cpn IgM in the AMI group were higher than those in the NC group (P

AIM: To investigate the change of Cpn60 content,the alterations of pancreatic enzymes and lysosome,in order to better understand the mechanism of intrapancreatic enzyme activation in acute pancreatitis(AP). METHODS: The AP model was replicated by retrograde infusion of 4% sodium-deoxycholate in the choledocus of SD rats. The levels of amylase in plasma and TNF-? in pancreatic tissue were measured by biochemical technique at 5 h and 10 h after AP induction. The content of Cpn60 and pancreatic enzymes in different compartments of the acinar cells were tested by quantitative protein A-gold immunocytochemistry technique. The change of lysosome in the acinar cells was observed under the electronic microscope. RESULTS: After AP was induced,the levels of amylase in the plasma and TNF-? in the pancreatic tissue increased significantly. Lysosomes with different forms were found inside the acinar cells,and some of them located in the Golgi apparatus. Cpn60 content decreased,which was accompanied by an increase of lipase or chymotrypsinogen content in the pancreatic secretory pathway. CONCLUSION: In the pancreatic acinar cells of AP rats,Cpn60 content decreased,suggesting an insufficient chaperone capacity,and combining with the change of lysosome both in its amount and location,which may take part in the intrapancreatic enzyme activation and the development of AP.

Objective To compare the efficacy of XELOX and FOLFOX4 in the treatment of locally advanced unresectable gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 72 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Shandong Provincial Hospital from July 2006 to October 2009 were prospectively analyzed. Of all the patients, 3 lost follow-up, and 69 patients with locally advanced unresectable gastric cancer were randomly divided into XELOX group ( n = 36 ) and FOLFOX4 group ( n = 33 ) according to the random number table.All patients received chemotherapy for six weeks. The efficacy of the two regimens were evaluated by the multidiscipline team six weeks later. The cell cycle of patients with complete or partial remission and received surgical treatment was detected by flow cytometry. All data were analyzed using the Pearson chi-square test, Levene test or t test. Results The curative rates of XELOX and FOLFOX4 were 53% (19/36) and 52% (17/33), respectively,with no significant difference between the two groups ( x2= 0. 01 , P ＞ 0. 05 ). The incidences of nausea and vomiting, phlebitis and hand-foot syndrome were 25% (9/36), 6% (2/36) and 19% (7/36) in the xELOX group, and 55% ( 18/33), 39% (13/33) and 3% (1/33) in the FOLFOX4 group, respectively, with significant difference between the two groups ( x2 = 6.31, 11.59, 4.53, P ＜ 0.05 ). Nineteen patients in the XELOX group and 17 patients in the FOLFOX4 group received surgical resection of the gastric cancer, and no complications such as anastomotic leakage and hemorrhage occurred postoperatively. In the XELOX group, the s-phase fraction (SPF),proliferation index (PI) and G2/M of the gastric cancer cells were 5.89% ± 0.79%, 9.22% ± 1.99% and 5.19% ± 1. 66% after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which were significantly lower than 6.76% ± 1.21%, 10.44% ±2.12% and 6. 04% ± 0. 57% before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, while the ratio of gastric cancer cells in the G0/G1 phase after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 90.39% ±4.78%, which was significantly higher than 87.54%±6.34% before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (x2 =3.61, 2.52, 2. 15, 2.91, P ＜0.05). In the FOLFOX4group, the SPF, PI and G2/M of the gastric cancer cells were 6.09% ± 0.96%, 10.65 % ± 2.47% and 4.88% ±0.87% after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which were significantly lower than 7.15% ± 1.45%, 11.87% ± 2.33%and 5.67% ± 1.03% before neoadjuvant chemotherapy, while the ratio of gastric cancer cells in the G0/G1 phase after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was 91.45% ± 5.22%, which was significantly higher than 88.01% ± 4.23%before neoadjuvant chemotherapy ( x2 = 3.50, 2.06, 3.37, 2.94, P ＜ 0.05 ). There was a significant difference in PI between XELOX group and FOLFOX4 group after neoadjuvant chemotherapy ( x2 = 2.66, P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions XELOX and FOLFOX4 are safe and effective in the treatment of locally advanced unresectable gastric cancer, and they can significantly restrain the proliferation of gastric cancer cells. XELOX regimen is more effective than FOLFOX4 regimen.

Objective To investigate the role of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) in murine endochondral ossification. Methods The knockout of HIF-1α or VHL gene in murine osteoblasts was accomplished by conditional knockout technique at 4th, 8th and 12th week, and the differences between wild-type group and knock-out group in endochondral ossification were detected by HE staining, micro-CT scanning, trabecular bone area measurement, calcium content measurement, tetracycline fluorescence labeling, Real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results After knockout of HIF-1α gene in osteoblasts, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) reduced, the rate of new bone formation stepped down, the content of calcium became less, and the trabecular bone volume decreased (P <0.05) . After knockout of VHL gene in osteoblasts, the expression of VEGF increased, the rate of new bone formation stepped up, the content of calcium became more, and the trabecular bone volume was promoted (P < 0.001). Conclusion During murine endochondral ossification, VHL/HIF-1α signal pathway promotes angiogenesis through the stimulation of VEGF expression, which subsequently accelerates osteogenesis.

OBJECTIVETo compare the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha(HIF-1α) and Semaphorin 4D(Sema4D) in colorectal carcinoma and normal colorectal tissues, and to investigate their correlation and clinical significance.

METHODSThe expressions of HIF-1α and Sema4D were examined in 86 cases of colorectal carcinoma and 52 normal colorectal tissues by SP immunohistochemical staining. Correlation between these two expressions and association of the expressions with clinicopathological characters and prognosis were analyzed.

RESULTSThe positive rates of HIF-1α and Sema4D protein in colorectal carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than those in normal colorectal tissues(58.1% vs. 7.7%, χ(2)=34.624, P<0.01; 60.5% vs. 11.5%, χ(2)=31.839, P<0.01). HIF-1α and Sema4D protein expressions were closely associated with colorectal carcinoma histological types(P=0.003, P=0.010), TNM staging (P=0.003, P=0.017) and lymphatic metastasis (P=0.003, P=0.020), and a significant correlation was observed between the expressions of HIF-1α and Sema4D protein (r=0.567, P<0.01). The 5-year overall survival rate was 37%. Univariate analysis showed that 5-year survival rates of patients with positive and negative HIF-1α protein expression were 24% and 56%(P=0.003), and those with positive and negative Sema4D protein expression were 23% and 59%(P=0.001). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that expression of Sema4D was an independent prognostic factor of colorectal cancer patients(P=0.026), while expression of HIF-1α was not(P=0.501).

CONCLUSIONCombined detection of HIF-1α and Sema4D has the potential to predict the development trend of colorectal carcinoma and prognosis of patients.
