Background and purpose: miR-210 was closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, but its mechanism and clinical significance were still not clear. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of miR-210 in gastric cancer tissues and its clinical significance. Methods: The expression of miR-210 was detected in gastric cancer tissues and the corresponding adjacent tissues. The relationship between the expression of miR-210 and clinical pathological factors and prognosis was analyzed. Results: Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) showed that the expression of miR-210 in gastric cancer was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The expression of miR-210 was closely related to tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage, but was not related to age, gender, tumor dif-ferentiation and depth of invasion. The 5-year survival rate of patients with low miR-210 expression was 48.2%, where-as the 5-year survival rate of patients with high miR-210 expression was 30.4% (χ2=4.216, P=0.040). Conclusion: The expression of miR-210 in gastric cancer was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and maybe related to the development and prognosis of gastric cancer. miR-210 is expected to be a new diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

Purpose To indicate the expression of nattokinase (NK) in Pichia pastoris , an emulsion was prepared with the purified NK to prepare polyclonal antibody. In order to establish sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to assay NK in organism, furthermore to lay the foundation for researching in vivo metabolism and function of NK. Methods The NK gene was cloned into a Pichia pastoris expression vector pHBM905A to construct the recombinant plasmid pPRONK.The recipient cell of Pichia pastoris GS115 was transformed with pPRONK which had been cut by restriction enzyme Sal I , under the induction of methanol. The expressed production is purified by salting out and ultrafiltration membrane. An emulsion was prepared with the purified NK and injected into rabbits to prepare polyclonal antibody. Results NK was expressed and identified by SDS-PAGE.The molecular mass of expressed production is about 27 kD.The fibrin plate assay indicated that the NK protein can cleavage fibrin effectively. ELISA analysis indicated that the polyclonal antibody titer is about 1:8 000. Western blot demonstrated that there was a special strap nearby 27 kD. Conclusion NK was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris , the production can cleavage fibrin effectively and it had great immunogenicity.

Neuroglobin(Ngb)is one of the members of oxygen-carrying globin family.It mainly exists in neurons in a monomeric form,which is closely correlated the oxygen supply to brain.Brain hypoxia/ischemia can induce the high expression of Ngb,and as an endogenous neuroprotective factor,it protects ischemic neurons from ischemia/hypoxia injury.This article reviews the distribution,structure and function of Ngb,and its potential protective effects and mechanisms in cerebral ischemia/hypoxia cerebral injury.

Objective To investigate multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) and MRI features of stasis cirrhosis and the diagnostic value of MSCT and MRI. Methods MSCT and MRI findings of 35 patients with stasis cirrhosis were studied. The size of liver and spleen, the diameter of hepatic vein (HV), enhancement pattern of liver parenchyma, contrast medium reflux in inferior vena cava (IVC) and (or) HV, ascites, number of varices and correlated abnormalities were reviewed. Results The volume index of liver and spleen of 35 patients was 4 434.95 cm3 and 621.92 cm3 respectively. The mean diameter of HV of 27 patients (77.1%) was 3.61 cm and HV of other 8 patients (22.9%) were too small to show. Number of patients showed waves of borderline, inhomogeneous pattern of parenchymal contrast enhancement, contrast medium reflux in IVC and (or) HV, varices and ascites was 5 (14.3%), 29 (82.9%), 20 (57.1%), 16 (45.7%), and 6 (17.1%), respectively. Correlated abnormalities included cardiac enlargement 4 cases (11.4%), pericardium thickening 11 cases (31.4%), and pericardial effusion 2 cases (5.7%). Conclusions Stasis cirrhosis mainly demonstrate liver enlargement, inhomogeneous pattern of parenchymal contrast enhancement, contrast medium reflux in IVC and (or) HV, and slight portal hypertension. MSCT and MRI play invaluable roles in diagnosis, differential diagnosis and etiological diagnosis of stasis cirrhosis.

AIM:To observe the effect of oxymatrine on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in brain tissue surrounding cerebral ischemic rats. METHODS: The FCI model with thread embolism of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats was made, 80 male SD rats were divided randomly into shamed-operation, saline and oxymatrine groups, and the oxymatrine group was further divided into two sub-groups which were dealt with the low and high dose of oxymatrine. The expression level of TLR4 and TLR4 mRNA in the brain tissue surrounding cerebral ischemic was determined simultaneously by the usage of immunohistochemical and RT-PCR method respectively. RESULTS: The expression of TLR4 gene in saline group was higher evidently than that in shamed-operation group (P

Objective To investigate the predictive factors and prognosis of early intrahepatic recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Clinicopathological dats of 184 HCC patients with intrahepatic recurrence after curative resection were collected.Thirteen clinicopathological factors and prognosis after recurrence were retrospectively analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that preoperative scrota alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)>100 ng/ml,tumour size>5 cm,venous invasion and intra-operative blood transfusion were predictive factors of early intrahepatic recurrence,and selum albumin<35 g/L was marginally predictive factor.Multivariate analysis showed that serum AFP>100 ng/ml,tumour size>5 cm and venous invasion were independent predictive factots of early intrahepatic recurrence.The survival of patients suffering from early recurrence was significantly shorter than those with late recurrence.with median survival period of 12 mos vs 18 mos(P=0.012).Conclusion Serum AFP,tumour size and venous invasion were independent predictive factors of early intrahepatic recurrence in HCC patients after radical resection of the primary tumor.Early intrahepatic recurrence implies poor prognosis.
