Objective To identify the biomarkers which can be used of estimating the biological behaviors of prostate cancer with osseous metastasis by SELDI-TOF-MS. Methods Screening for potential tumor biomarkers of serum samples from 19 prostate cancer patients and 35 prostate cancer patients with osseous metastasis by using the technology of SELDI-TOF-MS and CM 10 protein chips (Ciphergen Inc. USA).The PBS Ⅱ protein chip reader was used to analyze the CM10 protein chips and transform the protein information into the form of spectra. The protein contents of two groups in the same mass-to-charge ratio (M/Z value) were analyzed and preceded the analysis of variance by Biomarker Wizard software. The proteins whose contents in serum were significantly different, which was distinguished the correctly groups by Biomarker Pattern software. Results The contents of 4 proteins in the two groups were significantly different and the M/Z values of these 6 proteins were from 2000 to 20 000. The relative protein content of prostate cancer patients group was higher than that of Prostate Cancer patients with osseous metastasis group at the M/Z value of 2089,4281, 3507 and 4178 [(4.63±8.03) vs (9.88±10.77), (19.78±21.46) vs (26.73±19.41), (5.46±10.14) vs (8.10±8.74), (38.01 ±26.27) vs (45.25±20.40), (P＜0.05)]. The relative protein content of prostate cancer patients group was lower than that of prostate cancer patients with osseous metastasis group at the M/Z value of 15 900 and 16 081 [(11.52±16.80) vs (4.84±5.83), (8.55±12.64) vs (3.56±3.90), (P＜0.05)].

Objective To find differential expression proteins in patients with T cell non-Hodgkin’ s lymphoma (T-NHL) by using surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) technique and study their related clinical application value and prospect.Methods Serum protein of 36 T-NHL patients and 30 DLBCL patients were detected by the SELD1-TOF-MS technique and weak cation exchange (wcx-2) chip.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected by biochemistry method.Beta2-microglobulin (β2-MG) was detected by enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay (ELISA).The significant different protein spectrometry were analyzed between DLBCL patients and T-NHL patients.The correlation analysis with protein spectrometry,disease staging,LDH and β2-MG were analyzed with Spearman.Results Nine potential candidate proteins,including the peak intensity of M/Z 1142.67,1451.43,1472.49,1512.03,3194.22,3267.41,3933.86,4593.12 and 9182.24,were identified in T-NHL patients.The 9 protein markers had no contact with disease staging of T-NHL (P ＞ 0.05).The protein markers of 4593.12 and 9182.24 were high level in T-NHL patients.LDH in these two protein markers’ positive group [(290.82±29.95) U/L,(283.94±100.94) U/L] was higher than that in negative group [(169.22±55.42) U/L,(169.50±59.25) U/L](t =-3.199,P =0.004; t =-2.378,P =0.026),and LDH was positive correlation with these two protein spectrometry (r =0.265,r =0.178,P ＜ 0.01).There was no statistically significant difference ofβ2-MG between these two protein markers’ positive group and negative group (P ＞ 0.05).The other 7 protein markers were low level in T-NHL patients,and there was no statistically significant difference of LDH and β2-MG in these 7 protein markers (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The protein marker of 4593.12 and 9182.24 may be the specific serological markers to identify T-NHL.The combination of these two protein markers and LDH may assess the tumor load,and provide guiding value for clinical treatment.

Objective To test serum differentially expressed proteins between early-stage (stage IB-ⅢA) and late-stage (stage Ⅳ) lung cancer patients by proteinchip technology and investigate its clinical value. Methods SELDI-TOF-MS and WCX-2 protein chip were used to detect the serum protein of 30 cases of early stage lung cancer patients and 30 cases of late stage lung cancer patients. The data were analyzed by using Biomarker Wizard software. Results There are ten different proteins in the serum between the two groups of lung cancer patients. Four protein markers 7978, 8139, 15 951 and 16 133 are over expressed and seven protein markers 2867, 6885, 8701, 8840, 13 781 and 13 955 are low expressed in the late group. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS proteinchip technology is a convenient, sensitive and high-throughput analysis method which can screen several relatively specific protein markers for late stage lung cancer from the serum samples. This selected protein markers can predict metastasis of lung cancer patients.

Objective To develop a classification of gallbladder stones,to analyze the clinical characteristics of each type of stone and to provide a theoretical basis for the formation of different types of gallbladder stones.Method 925 consecutive patients with gallbladder stones were enrolled and their gallstones were studied.The material composition of the gallbladder stones was analyzed using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the distribution and microstructure of the material components were observed using scanning electron microscopy.The composition and distribution of the elements were analyzed by an X-ray energy spectrometer.Gallbladder stones were classified accordingly.Results The gallbladder stones were classified into 8 types and more than ten subtypes,including cholesterol stones (n =334),pigment stones (n =246),calcium carbonate stones (n =167),phosphate stones (n =14),calcium stearate stones (n =11),protein stones (n =3),cystine stones (n =1) and mixed stones (n =149).Mixed stones were those stones with two or more than two kinds of material components and the content of each component was similar.A total of 11 subtypes of mixed stones were found in this study.Conclusion The systematic classification of gallbladder stones indicated that different types of stones had different characteristics in terms of infrared spectrogram,microstructure,elemental composition and distribution,thus providing an important basis for the mechanistic study of gallbladder stones.

Objective To evaluate the performance of actinic keratosis (AK) tissue as a culture model for the study of interference in transduction pathway,and to explore the mechanism underlying the p53 regulation though TGFβ1/Smads pathway by using the tissue culture model.Methods Twenty-five skin samples from the lesions of patients with AK were cultured,and divided into 5 groups to be treated with TGFβ1 of 10 μg/L for 24 and 48 hours,the tran sforming growth factor (TGF) β1 receptor kinase inhibitor SB431542 of 10 μmol/L for 24 and 48 hours,respectively,or remain untreated.Real time PCR and Western blot were performed to quantify the mRNA expression of p53 and protein expression of p53 and phosphorylated Smad2 in these tissue specimens respectively.Results A significant elevation was observed in the expressions of p53 mRNA ( 13.4968 ± 0.9903 vs.1,P ＜ 0.05) and phosphorylated Smad2 (0.700 ± 0.023 vs.1,P ＜ 0.05) in AK tissues after treatment with TGFβ1 for 24 hours,and in the expressions of p53 mRNA (13.3882 ± 1.6772 vs.1,P ＜ 0.05) and protein (1.009 ± 0.001 vs.0.512 ± 0.005,P ＜ 0.05) after treatment with TGFβ1 for 48 hours,compared with the untreated AK tissues.No significant differences were observed in the expression of p53 protein between the AK tissues treated with TGFβ1 for 24 hours and 48 hours (P ＞ 0.05).SB431542 induced a statistical reduction in the level of phosphorylated Smad2 at 48 hours (0.116 ± 0.003 vs.0.306 ± 0.023,P ＜ 0.05),but no significant changes were observed in the expression of p53 mRNA or protein after SB431542 treatment for 24 or 48 hours.Conclusions AK tissue cultures can serve as a model for the study of interference in signal transduction pathway.TGFβ1 might regulate the expression of p53 protien through Smads pathway in AK.
