Objective To investigate the role of Wnt signal pathway related proteins in the tumorigenesis of sponta-neous breast cancer in TA2 mice. Methods Mammary glands were collected from tissues of normal 5 cases of TA2 mice. Spontaneous breast cancers and relevant mammary glands precancerous lesions were harvested from 5 cases of TA2 mice. Mammary tissue samples from normal TA2 mice, precancerous lesions and cancer tissues of spontaneous breast cancer-bearing TA2 mice were subsequently used to detect the expression of Wnt1,Wnt5a andβ-catenin via immunohistochemical staining. Results ① Results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the positive ex-pression of Wnt1 and Wnt5 a located in cytoplasm in spontaneous breast cancers and mammary gland precancerous lesions from TA2 mice. The normal mammary glands were negative for Wnt1 and Wnt5a staining. The cytoplasm of precancerous lesions showed higher expression for Wnt1 and Wnt5a than them in the breast cancer. β-catenin in breast cancer and precancerous lesions were abnormal cytoplasmic expression. The expression level in breast cancer was higher than in the precancerous lesions. In normal mammary gland, the positive expression ofβ-catenin mainly located in the cytomembrane. ② The positive expression rates of Wnt1, Wnt5a and β-catenin in normal breast group,precancerous group and breast cancer group were ( 4. 46 ± 3. 57 )%, ( 96. 50 ± 6. 30 )%, ( 90. 00 ± 1. 17 )%, ( 2. 27 ± 4. 55 )%, ( 96. 24 ± 6. 00 )%, ( 95. 90 ± 4. 32 )%, ( 4. 78 ± 3. 57 )%, ( 60. 59 ± 5. 63 )%, (84. 87 ± 2. 56)%,respectively. The positive expression rates of the three in precancerous group and breast cancer group were significantly higher than those in normal breast group(P<0. 01). The positive expression rates of Wnt1, Wnt5a in precancerous group were higher than those in the tumor group,and the differences of Wnt1 had statistical significance (P<0. 05) while Wnt5a did not (P>0. 05). Compared with breast cancer group,the precancerous group had lower positive expression rate of β-catenin and the differences also had statistical significance ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion Wnt1 , Wnt5 a and β-catenin promote the progression of spontaneous breast cancer in TA2 mice.

Objective To explore the clonality of the T cells and the role of cellular immunological pathogenesis in chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC) by TCR CDR3 size spectratyping and determining sequence. Methods The TCR CDR3 region genes of 24 BV families were amplified by utilizing inverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology, and the CDR3 size lengths of T cell receptor (TCR) ?-chain were analyzed with Genescan technology for 4 healthy individuals and 9 AsCs. The clonality of T cells presumed by spectratyping was further confirmed by CDR3 sequencing. Results The CDR3 repertoire of 4 healthy individuals showed Gaussian distribution. The clonal expansions of T cell were observed in 8 out of 9 AsCs. The expanded T cells have different CDR3 sequences. Conclusion There is significantly clonal expansion in the compartment of the peripheral blood T lymphocyte in AsCs. The expanded T cells do not have homogenicity.

Objective To approach the brain protective effect and mechanism of Sini decoction on rats with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) syndrome.Methods Fifty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham operation group (n = 10), CPR model group (n = 20) and Sini decoction treatment group (n = 20) by random number table. The rat models were established by trachea clipping to induce cardiac arrest, and after heart beat stopped for 5 minutes, CPR was carried out. In the Sini decoction group, Sini decoction 5 g/kg was given through a stomach tube, once per 24 hours, while in the sham and CPR model groups, the same amount of normal saline was given by the same method at the same time. Venous blood was collected before CPR and 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after CPR, and the levels of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent test (ELISA); after CPR for 72 hours, the rat brain tissue was obtained from all the groups, the content of caspase-3 in brain tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry method, and its protein expression caspase-3 was detected by Western Blot; the apoptosis situation of brain tissue was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated duTP nick end labeling (TUNEL).Results With the prolongation of time, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in CPR model and Sini decoction groups showed a tendency firstly increased and then decreased, IL-6 reached its peak value after resuscitation for 24 hours, while TNF-α reached its peak value after resuscitation for 48 hours, and both IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased after resuscitation for 72 hours ; beginning from 6 hours after resuscitation, the levels of serum IL-6 (ng/L: 61.79±1.31, 62.49±1.42 vs. 21.48±0.79) and TNF-α (ng/L: 48.32±1.98, 25.32±1.96 vs. 18.34±2.45) in CPR model and Sini decoction treatment groups were all significantly higher than those in sham group, since 12 hours after resuscitation, the level of IL-6 was significantly lower in Sini decoction than that in CPR model group (ng/L: 70.41±2.21 vs. 88.32±1.59), and since 6 hours after resuscitation, TNF-α was obviously lower in Sini decoction group than that in CPR model group (ng/L: 25.32±1.96 vs. 48.32±1.98, allP < 0.05), both IL-6, TNF-α persisting to 72 hours after resuscitation, and their levels did not return to normal at the end of experiment in the two groups. After the end of resuscitation, the content and protein expression of caspase-3 and rate of cell apoptosis in the brain tissue in CPR model group were significantly higher than those in the sham group [caspase-3 content (A value,×103): 2.59±0.26 vs. 1.57±0.06, caspase-3 protein (gray value): 0.80±0.08 vs. 0.43±0.04, apoptosis rate: (2.01±0.08)% vs. (0.26±0.02)%, allP < 0.05], above indexes in the Sini decoction treatment group were significantly lower than those in the CPR model group [caspase-3 content (A value,×103): 1.89±0.08 vs. 2.59±0.26, caspase-3 protein (gray value): 0.57±0.02 vs. 0.80±0.08, apoptosis rate: (1.03±0.05)% vs. (2.01±0.08)%, allP < 0.05).Conclusion The Sini decoction has a protective effect on rats with post-resuscitation syndrome, and its mechanism is possibly realized by the inhibition of inflammatory factors and reduction of cell apoptosis.

Objective: To study the effects of endostatin and doxycycline on microcirculatory patterns in the melanoma transplant model of the chorioallantoic membrane of the chicken embryo and the experimental evidences for melanoma therapy thereof. Methods: Endostatin was dripped on the chorioallantoic membrane after melanoma was transplanted 3 days (A group) and 5 days (B group). Doxycycline was dripped on the chorioallantoic membrane after melanoma was transplanted 3 days (C group) and 5 days (D group). The PBS solution was dripped on the chorioallantoic membrane in control group (E group). The hematoxylin-eosin（HE）staining and immunohistochemical staining were performed to observe microcirculation patterns in sections. Results: Compared with the E group, the area of endothelium-dependent vessels were significantly decreased in A group and B group (P ＜ 0.01). But the areas of vasculogenic mimicry were bigger in the two groups(P ＜ 0.05). Compared with E group, the areas of endothelium-dependent vessels and vasculogenic mimicry were significantly decreased in D group(P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion: Endostatin can inhibit angiogenesis. But it has no effect on vasculogenic mimicry in the transplant melanoma. And Doxycycline can inhibit vasculogenic mimicry and angiogenesis in the transplant melanoma. The results provided experimental evidences for melanoma therapy.
