Purpose To construct a recombined antitumor peptide and to analyze its bioactivity. Methods Constructing a recombined gene and inserting the pGEX-4T-3 vector. The recombined protein was expressed in E. coli BL21 and purified with Amylose Resin. Then, citrostatin was subjected to the following tests separately: inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation, MTT test of cytotoxicity and inhibition of endothelial cell tube formation on ECMatrix. Results Citrostatin significantly inhibited the proliferation of human endothelial cell ECV304(IC_(50) = 2.28 μmol/L) .It also significantly inhibited the proliferation of human tumor cell 1990 and NCI-H64O(IC_(50) = 9.24,2.74 μmol/L) ,and the inhibitory effect became more marked with the increase of citrostatin concentration. The inhibitory effects of citrostatin on endothelial cell tube formation was also confirmed . Conclusion An antitumor peptide, citrostatin, has been successfully constructed and purified, which showed anti-angiogenesis effect and direct cytotoxic effect on tumor cells.

Objective To investigate the SENP1 and c-myb gene expression and their correlations in bone marrow specimens in the patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL ) to provide the basis for expounding the role ,mechanism and prognosis of SENP1 and c-myb in ALL .Methods 31 patients diagnosed with ALL (22 cases of B-ALL ,1 case of T-ALL and 8 cases of uncate-gorized ALL ;6 cases in the low/medium risk group ,25 cases in the high risk group) and 31 patients with proliferative bone marrow and hyperplastic anemia diagnosed by the morphology were taken as the control group .The real-time PCR and immunocytochemical staining(SP method) were adopted to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of SENP1 and c-myb in the bone marrow specimens of the ALL patients and the control group .Results The expression of SENP1 and c-myb were both increased in the bone marrow specimens and smears of ALL patients ,which showed the statistical difference compared with the control group (P< 0 .05) ,the Pearson correlation analysis found that the high expression of SENP1 and c-myb had correlation .The expression of SENP1and c-myb in the low/medium risk group were lower than that in the high risk group ,but the difference had no statistical significance . Conclusion The high expression of SENP1 and c-myb exists in the bone marrow specimens of the ALL patients ,SENP1 and c-myb could possibly have the correlation with the occurrence and development of ALL ;but now the differences of SENP1 and c-myb ex-pression among different risk groups of ALL patients are yet to be proven .

Objective To study the signification of p57kip2 immunostaining to distinguish molar gestations from hydropic abortions.Methods To observe the p57kip2 immunohistochemical expression in 58 cases of histological hydropic villi which were divided into complete mole(18 cases) ,partial mole(19 cases),hydropic abortion(11 cases)and undetermined hydropic abortion or molar gestations(10 cases) and in 3 normal placentas.Results Normal villi,partial mole and hydropic abortions show positive staining for p57kip2, which expressed in the nuclei of cytotrophoblast and villous mesenchyme,and complete moles show complete absence of staining in the cytotrophoblast and villous mesenchyme.According to the comparison of the diagnosis based on morphology and the one based on p57kip2 stai-ning,the later whose sensitivity is 96% (46/48) confirmed the earlier diagnosis in 58 cases studied and the later conformed to the earlier very well.Conclusion The immunohistochemical staining for p57kip2 is a valuable diagnostic mean to distinguish molar gestations from hydropic abortions and is a sensitive and specific marker for the diagnosis of complete mole.

Objective To investigate the effect of deltaNp63(ΔNp63) silencing on the proliferation of pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells.Methods ΔNp63 mRNA level in 23 pairs of pancreatic cancer and adjacent tissue specimen was detected by real-time PCR, andΔNp63 protein in human normal pancreatic ductal cell line HPDE6-C7 and pancreatic cancer cell line PANC1, CFPAC1 and BXPC3 was detected by Western blot. PANC1 cells were transfectedΔNp63 specific siRNA (ΔNp63-siRNA ) and scramble siRNA ( Con-siRNA ) using liposome, and untransfected cells served as control.ΔNp63 mRNA and protein was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot to validate the silencing ofΔNp63 expression.MTT assay and BrdU method were used to detect the proliferation and DNA synthesis of transfected PANC1 cells.Results TheΔNp63 mRNA expression in pancreatic cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues was 0.99 ± 0.07 and 0.70 ±0.07, respectively.ΔNp63 mRNA expression in pancreatic cancer tissue was significantly up-regulated compared with that in the normal tissue (P=0.0034).TheΔNp63 protein expression in HPDE6-C7, PANC1, CFPAC-1 and BxPC3 cells was 0.97 ±0.09,3.06 ±0.16,2.57 ±0.11 and 2.45 ±0.08, respectively.TheΔNp63 protein level in pancreatic cancer cells were higher than that in HPDE6-C7 cells (P<0.001).ΔNp63 mRNA level in control, Con-siRNA and ΔNp63-siRNA group was 0.97 ±0.07,0.97 ±0.07 and 0.28 ±0.03, respectively, andΔNp63 protein expression level was 0.97 ±0.06,1.00 ±0.10 and 0.26 ±0.03.The expression ofΔNp63 mRNA and protein inΔNp63-siRNA group were significantly down-regulated comparing with those in Con-siRNA group (P<0.01).Significant inhibition on cell proliferation was observed in ΔNp63-siRNA group, which was statistically different from that in control and Con-siRNA group.The A490 value (DNA synthesis) of control, Con-siRNA andΔNp63-siRNA group was 0.55 ±0.04, 0.56 ±0.01 and 0.55 ±0.00 at 24 h after transfection, and 0.84 ±0.05,0.87 ±0.07 and 0.71 ±0.05 at 48 h after transfection.The DNA synthesis inΔNp63-siRNA group was significantly down-regulated compared with that in control and Con-siRNA group (P<0.05).Conclusions Knockdown ofΔNp63 could greatly inhibit the proliferation and DNA synthesis of pancreatic cancer PANC1 cells.

Objective To study the CT findings of dermoid cyst of the orbit.Methods Four cases of dermoid cyst of the orbit proved by operation and pathology were presented. There were three cases of male, one case of female, age 6～21 years. Transverse CT scans(3 mm slice) and coronal CT scans(5 mm slice) were obtained, in which enhancement study was done in two cases.Results Among four cases, lesion was located in the right on three cases, in the left on one case. All lesions were located outside the muscle of upper-lateral guarter. One lesion was showed a multi-lobular shape, with widening of the frontozygomatic fissure and protruding to outside of the orbit. Three lesions were found anoval shape, in which one lesion was showed a bony sclerosis and thickening, another two cases were showed no bony change. On all cases, the edge of the lesions were demonstrated clearly, in which three cases were low-density(-140～-80 HU) similar to fat density, and one case with heterogeneous density. The lesion was showed more clearly on enhancement study on two cases.Conclusion CT findings of dermoid cyst of the orbit is characteristic and the diagnosis can be made before operation.

Objective To analyze CT features of retroperitoneal tumors or tumor-like lesion and to evaluate CT in localizating and qualitative diagnosis of diseases.Methods CT findings in 45 cases with pathologically-proved retroperitoneal tumor were retrospectively analyzed and compared with pathological results.Results There were 25 cases of benign tumors and 20 cases of malignant tumors.The CT features of benign tumors were homogeneous density,smooth peripheria with clear border,while mixed density,large and irregular in malignant tumors.The accuracy of localizating lesions was 89%,the accuracy of qualitative diagnosis was 78%,the accuracy of histologic evaluation was 49%.Conclusion CT imaging is valuable in diagnosing retroperitoneal tumors.CT can make accurate localization of tumors and identify the nature of tumors,but is limited in evaluating histologic types.
