Objective To study the significance of circadian gene Period2 expression in epithelial ovarian cancer tissues and the effect of gene overexpression on the growth of ovarian cancer xenografts in nude mice. Methods Twenty-two cases of ovarian cancer paraffin specimens in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University (ovarian cancer group) were chosed during Jau. 2010 to Dec. 2013, including 8 cases of stageⅠ, 8 cases of stageⅡ, and 6 cases of stageⅢ, while 6 cases of benign ovarian epithelial tumor paraffin specimens were selected as control (benign tumor group). Period2 gene were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and western blot methods in different stages of ovarian cancer tumor tissues. Established theovarian cancer xenografts in nude mice with ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, and they weredivided into 3 groups (n=8), including the recombinant plasmid group, empty plasmid group and control group. Using gene transfection technique to transfer Period2 gene into tumor tissues, tested the expression of Period2 mRNA in tumor tissues by real-time quantitative PCR after transfection into all nude mice, monitoredthetransplant tumor growth and calculating the tumor inhibition rate,detected the antiapoptotic gene BRE, apoptosis related tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR1) andtumor suppressor gene NIX in tumor tissues by real-time PCR and western blot in different groups. Results (1)The expression level of Period2 mRNA in tumor tissues amongovarian cancer group stageⅠ,ⅡandⅢwere respectively 2.59±0.50, 0.47± 0.08 and 0.42 ± 0.08, but benign tumor group was 6.59 ± 1.05. The expression level of Period2 protein in ovarian cancer group stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ were respectively 0.835 ± 0.087, 0.412 ± 0.035 and 0.199 ± 0.031, while benign tumor group was 0.874 ± 0.094. The expression level of Period2 mRNA and protein in benign tumor group was higher than those in ovarian cancer group stageⅠ,ⅡorⅢ(P<0.01). With ovarian cancer stage increased, the expression of Period2 mRNA and protein were decreased or absent (P<0.05).(2)Two weeks after transfection, the expression level of Period2 mRNA in recombinant plasmid group tumor tissue was significantly higher than those in the empty plasmid group or the control group (6.11±0.56 vs 0.50±0.09 vs 0.44 ± 0.08, respectively;P<0.01), the transplanted tumor volume of recombinant plasmid group was significantly less than those in empty plasmid group or the control group[ (486±70) mm3 vs (835±106) mm3 vs (846 ± 110) mm3, respectively;P<0.01], the tumor inhibition rate of the recombinantin plasmid group was as high as 42.9%, that was significantly higher than those in the empty plasmid group and the control group (3.8% and 0, respectively;P<0.05).(3)The expression level of BRE mRNA and protein in transplanted tumor tissues in the recombinant plasmid group were significantly lower than those in empty plasmid group and the control group;the expression level of TNFR1 and NIX were significantly higher than those in the empty plasmid group and the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions Period2 mRNA and protein expression are absent in ovarian cancer of advanced stage. Transfection and stable expression of Period2 gene could slow down the growth of ovarian cancer, and the tumor inhibition rate could be significantly increased. Period2 gene may promote ovarian cancer cells apoptosis through inhibition of BRE gene expression and promoting TNFR1, NIX gene expressionto exert anti-tumor effect.

Objective To observe the vascular collagen remodeling, apoptosis and Bcl-2/Bax of vascular smooth muscle cells in carotid artery on SHR . Methods 12 SHR treated with Irbesartan ,12 SHR without treated Irbesartan ,12 wistar rats were normotensive control group. The vascular volume fraction of Collagen were determined by picrosirius red staining .The expression of the proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Immunhistochemia,VSMC apoptosis was identified by in situ TDT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL). Results Significant Fibrosis exists in carotid artery of SHR. After 20 week's treating, the vascular volume fraction of Collagen and the ratio of wall/cavity were descended, but weren't parallel. The expression of the protein Bcl-2 and APOI were higher than the subjects of normotensive control, its reduced after treating; The expression of the proteins Bax was similar with control, it increased after treating. Conclusions The results suggest that vascular collagen remodeling exist, its maybe related with apoptosis , the proteins Bcl-2 and Bax of VSMC. The Irbesartan can treat it.

Differentiated epithelial cells could be transformed into mesenchymal cells through the epithelial-mesenchymal transi-tion (EMT), which is important for tumorigenesis and metastasis. Recent studies suggest that EMT is closely correlated to the resistance to chemotherapy of tumors. This chemoresistance could enhance tumor malignancy, which includes the induction of the EMT pheno-type. The paper reviews the research progress on EMT and its association with drug resistance of tumors.

The application of HPLC-NMR-MS hyphenated technique in the structural identification of trace substances from complex mixtures and the identification of endogenous and exogenous substances in the establishment process of metabolic profiling have become effective analytical tools in pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic studies of active substances from natural products. Metabolomics method based on NMR technology can accurately portray metabolic phenotypes with the characteristics of diseases and a variety of disease-related pathways, and it can greatly enrich and supplement the traditional disease evaluation methods. So it can be used for pharmacological studies of active substances from natural products, such as toxicological studies, the dose optimization, active substances screening and pharmacodynamic evaluation. Hyphenated technique associated with metabolomics method based on NMR technology will accelerate the speed of the discovery of active substances from natural products, and improve the efficiency of their pharmacological evaluation.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are noncoding RNAs with lengths exceeding 200 bp. These lncRNAs cannot code complete proteins but control gene expression. Recent studies have shown that lncRNAs are closely related to the diagnosis, prognosis, and drug resistance of gastric cancer. This article summarizes the recent progress of studies in China and abroad on lncRNAs relative to the diagnosis, prognosis, and drug resistance of gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the application of echocardiography to guide interatrial septal puncture and evaluate the clinical effect in PBMV. Methods One hundren and sixty two patients were categorized into two groups according to whether echocardiography was applied in atrial septal puncture and real time monitoring. X-ray fluoroscopy guidence was used during atrial septal puncture in group 1 and in group 2, X-ray as well as echocardiography were used. The clinical outcomes were analyzed and contrasted between the 2 group. Results (1) The mean mitral pressure gradient dropped obviously in group 2 immediately after PBMV compared with group 1 (6.4?2.6 mm?Hg vs 10.2?3.7 mm?Hg,P

Less consciousness for science research,lower level of research work,shortage of research team,lack of research institution and so on are the mean problems in clinical hospitals.In recent years,we take the measures of carrying out research training,perfecting research equipment,strengthening the research team,establishing encourage and punish rules.these measures promote the research work of our hospital,change the research sense of hospital staff therefor we get notable progress in research work.
