Objective To observe the permeability and stability of the transfection of antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) hybridized epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to retinal glial cells (RG). Methods Phosphorothioate and unmodified EGFR ASODN conjugated with 5′ isothiocyanate (5′ FITC) were encapsulated with or without lipofectin, and then added into human retinal glial cells culture media. The cellular permeability and stability of the transfection were observed by fluorescence microscopy in fixed cells. Results In the absence of lipofectin, phosphorothioate and unmodified EGFR ASODN were found in a few RG cells at 30 minutes, and in about 50% RG cells at 4 hours. Phosphorothioate EGFR ASODN were kept in RG cells for 3 4 hours and disappeared at about 8 hours. In the presence of lipofectin, phosphorothioate and unmodified EGFR ASODN were found in a few RG cells at 15 minutes and about 70% 80% RG cells at 4 hours. Phosphorothioate EGFR ASODN were kept in cells for 10 12 hours, and phosphorothioate and unmodified EGFR ASODN were disappeared at about 14 hours and 4 hours respectively. Conclusion 5′ FITC EGFR ASODN encapsulated with lipofectin could enter RG cells and express stably in RG cells.

Objective To raise the level of clinical diagnosis for the patients with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS). Methods Five patients (4 males) with PSIS were retrospectively analyzed with respects to the clinical features, endocrine status and image characteristics. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was performed at hypothalamic-pituitary region. Results The clinical manifestations of all patients consisted of growth retardation and delayed puberty without polyuria. Deficiency of multiple anterior pituitary hormones was revealed in all patients by the evaluation of endocrine status. The features of MRI included a lack of visible pituitary stalk, absence of posterior lobe hypersignal in the sella turcica and a hyperintense spot in the region of the thalamus opticus. Conclusion The clinical characteristics of patients with PSIS are growth retardation and delayed puberty. The evaluation of anterior pituitary function is necessary. The detection of an anatomical abnormality around hypothalamic-pituitary region by MRI is important diagnostic evidence.

Objective To screen out probable lynch syndrome (LS) associated endometrial cancer (EC) by investigating the expression of mismatch repair (MMR) protein in EC, and to analyze the disease traits combined with clinicopathologic characteristics. Methods The expressions of MSH2, MSH6, MLH1 and PMS2 were detected by using immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 443 EC patients. Results In 443 EC patients, 328 cases (74%) with all MMR proteins expression were classified as sporadic EC, and 115 cases (26%) cases with loss expression of at least one MMR protein were regarded as probable LS. MMR-deficient cases mostly showed a loss of MLH1/PMS2 expression (42%), followed by the absence of MSH2/MSH6 (23%), MSH6 (17%), PMS2 (17%) and MSH6/MLH1/PMS2 (3%). Compared with the sporadic EC group, obesity was not found in probable LS group (body mass index<28 kg/m2) (P=0.040), and high tumor grade was common (P=0.012); There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, the incidence of diabetes or hypertension, family history of cancer or histological type, tumor location, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, myometrial invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic or vascular invasion (all P> 0.05). A higher tumor grade was more common in the MSH6 and PMS2 deficient groups. Conclusions Compared with sporadic EC, the absence of obesity, a high grade tumor are more common in probable LS cases.
