Various signal transduction pathways in cells are closely related to the biological processes,while the proteins play an important role in the process of signal transductions.Proteomics,which is one of the effective methods for the study of cell signal pathways,can conduct proteomic analysis systematically as well as explore the expression of functional proteins related to the physiological characteristics in organism and in the initiation and progression of diseases.Nowadays,proteomics has been successfully applied in the studies of many kinds of signal pathways.In this paper,proteomic study in signal pathways related to liver disease,tumors,pathogenic mechanism of pathogens and metabolism are reviewed,in order to provide a reference for future research and applications of proteomics in the related fields.

Objective To investigate the value of IL-27,IL-29 and miRNA-497 in HER-2 positive radioactive particles combined targeted therapy. Methods Sixty-one elderly inpatients with HER-2 positive gastric cancer ascites in the Gaoming District People's Hospital, Wuchuan Municipal People's Hospital and Zhejiang Provincial Tumor Hospital were divided into the two groups. The treatment group(n= 31) was treated by the radioactive particles+ targeted drug Trastuzumab(initial dose 8 mg/kg, maintenance dose 66 mg/kg, once per 3 weeks) for 6 weeks; the control group(30 cases) was treated by targeted drug Trastuzumab (initial dose 8 mg/kg,maintenance dose 6 mg/kg, once per 3 weeks) for 6 weeks. The levels of ascites IL-27,IL-29 and miRNA-497 in the radioactive partcles combined targeted therapy group and control group were detected. Results The levels of ascites IL-27, IL-29 and miRNA-497 after treatment in the treatment group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment and in the control group,the effective remission rate in the treatment group was 74. 19%, which was higher than 36.67% in the control group, the average median survival time in the treatment group was 155 d, which washigher than 72 d in the control group, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion IL-27 ,IL-29 and miRNA-497 has the significance of curative effect evaluation and prognosis judgment in the radioactive particles combined targeted therapy for the patients with HER 2 positive gastric cance.

Objective:
To investigate the association between interleukin-6 -572 gene polymorphism and aggressive periodontitis.
Methods :
A case-control study involved 83 patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and 69 health controls was held, and the genotype and allele distributions of interleukin-6 -572 gene polymorphism were analyzed by PCR-RFLP.
Results :
There was statistically significant differences in the genotype distribution by the chi-square test in the two groups (χ2 = 13.710, P=0.001). The distribution of allele frequencies in AgP group was statistically different (χ2=13.213, P < 0.001) from the healthy control group, and the OR for the G allele is 2.988 (95%CI: 1.634-5.465) when compared with the C allele.
Conclusion
IL-6 -572 gene polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to AgP in Chinese Han population of Guangdong, and the IL-6 -572 G allele might be a risk factor of the genetic susceptibility to AgP.
