Aim To study the effects of EVn-50 on human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells in vitro and invivo. Methods Human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells were cultured in vitro. The inhibitory rate of cells was determined by cell counting and the cell growth curve was made. Plate clone formation assay was carried out to detect the phenotypes of colony formation. Trail of human gastric carcinoma xenografts in nude mouse model was used to draw the transplant tumor growth curve and test inhibition rate of EVn-50 on human gastric carcinoma. The histopathological changes were observed by lightmicroscopy and electronmicroscopy. Results In vitro,EVn-50 at 1,10,100 mg?L-1inhibited the growth and proliferation of SGC-7901 cells in a dose-dependent manner and a time-dependent manner; The colony-forming rate was reduced drastically compared with control group(P

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship of HBV PreS1 antigen, anti-HBc IgM, DNA load and genotypes, and the significance for clinical diagnosis and prognostic.

METHODSEnzyme linked immune-sorbent assay was used to test the HBV serum markers of HB patients; HBV-DNA copies was detected by time fluorescence quantitative PCR; using nested PCR to amplify the S fragment of HBV genome, then sequence and make blast with HBV standard sequences to ascertain genotypes. Make comprehensive analysis of these indexes.

RESULTS355 serum specimens of acute or chronic HB patients were collected. The positive rates of HBV PreS1-Ag and HBV-DNA in model I (positive for HBeAg) were 80.2% and 73.7% respectively, which both higher than other models. The abnormal rate of ALT and AST were higher in PreS1-Ag positive group than negative, as well as in anti-HBc IgM positive group. There are 4 samples is genotype B (2.9%), 76 genotype C (55.9%) and 56 genotype D (41.2%). Positive rate of HBeAg and HBV-DNA of genotype C samples were both higher than which of genotype B and D.

CONCLUSIONPreS1-Ag and Anti-HBe-IgM indexes are of great value to viral hepatitis B early diagnosis, HBV replication surveillance and prognostic evaluation; the major HBV genotypes in Henan province are C and D, and the positive rate of HBeAg and HBV-DNA were both higher in genotype C HBV infection population than genotype B and D.

OBJECTIVETo screen relatively specific biomarkers in serum from lung adenocarcinoma patients by surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOFMS), and to investigate the clinical value of SELDI-TOF-MS in differentiation of benign from malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN).

METHODSSerum samples from 71 lung adenocarcinoma patients and 71 healthy volunteers with matched gender, age and history of smoking were analyzed using WCX2 ProteinChip to screen potential biomarkers. 28 patients received surgical treatment among total 53 patients with SPN. The clinical value of SELDI-TOF-MS in differentiation of benign from malignant solitary pulmonary nodules was evaluated by pathological diagnosis.

RESULTSFive highly expressed potential biomarkers were identified with the relative molecular weights of 4047.79 Da, 4203.99 Da, 4959. 81 Da, 5329. 30 Da and 7760.12 Da. The postoperative pathologic diagnosis was lung adenocarcinoma in 24 patients with SPN, validating the clinical value of the 5 potential biomarkers.

CONCLUSIONSELDI-TOF-MS technology is a quick, easy, convenient, and high-throughput analyzing method capable of screening several relatively specific potential biomarkers from the serum of lung adenocarcinoma patients and may have attractive clinic value in differentiation of solitary pulmonary nodules.
