Objective Todetecttheexpressionofvascularendothelialgrowthfactor(VEGF)andmigrationinhibitoryfactor (MIF) in colorectal cancer .Methods The immunohistochemical staining (SP method) was used to measure the expression of VEGF and MIF in 80 samples of colorectal cancer and 80 samples of normal colorectal tissues at 5 cm apart from the tumor edge . The relationship between VEGF and MIF with the clinical pathologic characteristics of colorectal cancer was anlyzed .Results The positive rates of VEGF and MIF in the colorectal cancer tissues were 77 .50% and 82 .50% respectively ,but which in the normal colorectal tissues were 22 .50% and 27 .50% respectively ,the positive rate of VEGF and MIF expression in the colorectal cancer tis‐sues were higher than that in the normal colorectal tissue with statistical difference (P<0 .05) .The expression of VEGF and MIF had correlation with the tumor infiltration depth ,lymph node metastasis ,and clinical stage ,but no correlation with gender ,age and histodifferentiation .Conclusion VEGF and MIF are highly expressed in the colorectal cancer tissues .

Objective:To observe the protective effect of Yulangsan polysaccharide ( YLSP) on liver injury induced by cyclophos-phamide(CTX) in mice. Methods:Liver injury induced by CTX in mice was used as the animal model and the mice were randomly di-vided into the normal group, CTX model group, biphenyldicarboxylate ( BPDC) group, YLSP group respectively with high, medium and low dose. Except the normal group, the other groups were injected with CTX, i. p. , for 7 days to make the model. Then the ani-mals in the YLSP groups were intragastrically administered with YLSP for 7 days. The activities of alanine aminotransferase( ALT) , as-partate aminotransferase( AST) in serum, malondialdehyde( MDA) , superoxide dismutase( SOD) , glutathione( GSH) and glutathione peroxidase ( GSH-Px) in liver tissue were investigated. Hematoxylin and eosin ( HE) stain was used to study the changes in hepatic tissue of the pathological mice. Results:Compared with the model group, YLSP could obviously reduce the activities of ALT, AST and the content of MDA, and increase the content of GSH, SOD and GSH-Px (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). HE staining showed that YLSP had significant protective effect on liver injury induced by CTX. Conclusion:YLSP has protective effect on liver injury induced by CTX.

Objective To investigate the relationship between platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase gene Arg92His(4, 275; G→A), Ile198Thr(7, 593; T→C) and Val279Phe(9, 994; G→T) mutation and cerebral artery athero-sclerosis stenosis. Methods Six hundred forty-twopatients with cerebral infarction underwent cerebral digital subtrac-tion angiography (DSA).The patients were then divided into cerebral artery atherosclerosis stenosis (CAAS) group(n=477) and control group(n=81) accroding to the site and severity of their cerebral artery stenosis. Furthermore, the CAAS group were divided into intracranial artery stenosis(ICAS) subgroup(n=251), extracranial artery stenosis(ECAS) subgroup (n=115) and extracranial-intracerebral artery stenosis(ECAS) subgroup(n=111). The distributions of genotype and allele frequencies of Arg92His,Ile198Thr and Val279Phe mutation of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase gene were ex-amined and comparied in different groups. Results There were significant differences in the distributions of genotype and allele of Arg92His mutation between ICAS subgroup and control group(42.6% vs. 30.3%;23.3% vs. 16.4%, P <0.05). These associations were not detected in ECAS and IECAS subgroups. There was no significant association be-tween Ile198Thr and Val279Phe and stenosis at any site(P>0.05). The distributions of genotype and allele of Arg92His, Ile198Thr and Val279Phe mutation were no significantly difference between CAAS group and control group (P >0.05). Conclusions Arg92His mutation may be associated with intracranial artery atherosclerotic stenosis.
