Objective To explore the effect of miRNA‐106a(miR‐106a) expression on multidrug resistance(MDR)of gastric cancer(GC)cells and the involvement of runt‐related transcription factor 3 RUNX3.Methods The expression of miR‐106a was detected in two human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines with MDR by immunoblotting and apoptosis assay. The sensitivity of GC cells to anticancer drugs was observed by detecting the expression of miR‐106a by using immunoblotting and PCR ,and the relationship between miR‐106a and RUNX3 was determined by luciferase activity assay.Results miR‐106a was significantly in‐creased in GC cells with MDR ,and it suppressed the sensitivity of GC cells to anticancer drugs. It could modulate MDR by tar‐geting RUNX3.Conclusion miR‐106a can induce the MDR by targeting RUNX3 in GC.

BACKGROUND: Negative pressure of limbs is a convenient, safe and unwound way to treat peripheral arterial occlusion and to relieve pain.Prostaglandin E1 can directly rellax vascular smooth muscles and relieve pain on nerve.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of negative pressure of limbs immunologic reaction positive nerve fiber of prostaglandin E1 in sensory nerve fiber of central nervous system of dogs with peripheral arterial occlusion.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animalstudy.SETTING: Tumor Center of Zhujiang Hospital affiliated to Southern Medical University, the Third General Surgery of Xijing Hospital affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Animal Laboratory of Xijing Hospital affiliated to the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from April 2003 to May 2004. A total of 17 healthy adult hybrid dogs were randomly divided into three groups: treatment group (n=10),non-treatment group (n=5) and normal control group (n=2), according to randomly digital table.METHODS: Ischemic models of left hindlimb were established in treatment group and non-treatment group. Fourteen days later, dogs in treatment group were given negative pressure (-12kPa) treatment for 15 minutes. The negative pressure was done once a day for 10 successive days.However, negative pressure was not done in non-treatment group. Animals were not interfered in normal control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Twenty-four days later, dogs in each group were anesthetized and sacrificed. L1-L5 spinal cord and ganglia of dorsal root were selected and stained with immunohistochemical method to detect average giay value of immunologic reaction positive nerve fiber of prostaglandin E 1.RESULTS: A total of 17 dogs were involved in the final analysis. Average gray values of immunologic reaction positive nerve fiber of prostaglandin E1 in spinal cord were 75.23±4.3 in non-treatment group, 43.22±3.7 in treatment group and 22.00±5.8 in normal control group; average gray values of immunologic reaction positive nerve fiber of prostaglandin E1 in ganglia of dorsal root were 67.12±2.3, 40.08±3.8, 27.64±2.7, respectively.There was no significant difference among the three groups (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: After onset of peripheral arterial occlusion, amount of immunologic reaction positive nerve fiber of prostaglandin E1 in spinal cord and ganglia of dorsal root of distal limbs is increased remarkably, and this may be a kink of auto-protective mechanism of organism. Negative pressure can relieve pain of limbs and decrease damaged-stimulated transmission of peripheral arterial occlusion.

Objective To establish a novel flow cytometric crossmatch assay allowing detection of complement-fixing donor specific anti-HLA IgG alloantibodies (Flow cytometry complement-dependent crossmatch,Flow-CDC). Methods One hundred pretransplant crossmatchings were performed using Flow-CDC and NIH-CDC between 62 patients awaiting renal transplantation and 33 donor cells.These crossmatchings were divided into two groups according to PRA.Group 1 consisted of 25 sera with negative PRA,and group 2 consisted of 75 sera with positive PRA.All of the sera were pretreated with DTT to inactivate IgM. Lymphocytes were isolated from peripheral blood (or,in a few instances,from the spleen) of the cadaveric donors. The correlation between different techniques for detection of donor specific anti-HLA antibodies was evaluated.The effect of both methods on clinical transplantation outcome was observed. Results In group 1,NIH-CDC and Flow-CDC were negative for all 25 sera.In group 2,24 (32.0%) had a positive NIH-CDC,31 (41.3%) had a positive Flow-CDC.There was a significant difference between two methods (?2=5.14, P= 0.016 ).Overall concordance between both tests was 93% with 69 concordant negatives and 24 concordant positives. The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.80.In group 2,5 patients received transplantation. One of them with negative NIH-CDC and positive Flow-CDC suffered from acute rejection after transplantation and lost the graft,and the other patients with negative NIH-CDC and Flow-CDC had good outcome. Conclusions Flow-CDC can detect specifically complement-fixing IgG alloantibodies against donor HLA and is more sensitive than NIH-CDC.Additionally,the computer printouts represent a permanent record of the crossmatch for retrospective review.Flow-CDC may become the standard crossmatch method as a possible alternative to conventional NIH-CDC testing.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of measurement of left ventricular(LV) volume and function in coronary heart disease(CHD) by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).Methods LV end diastolic volume(EDV),LV end systolic volume(ESV) and LV ejection fraction(EF) were measured with RT-3DE in patients with CHD ( n =37) and in the control ( n =30).The results measured by RT 3DE were compared with those of CMRI.The diagnostic value of RT-3DE was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve.Results Compared with that measured by CMRI,EDV,ESV and EF by RT 3DE( P ＞0.05) were almost similar as that in the control.Area under ROC curve of in EDV and ESV were 0.912 and 0.944 in the control.However,EDV determined by RT-3DE was smaller than that by CMRI( P ＜0.05) in CHD group.A difference (10.95 ± 31.26 ml) was existed in EDV between the two methods.ESV measured by RT-3DE was smaller than that calculated by CMRI( P ＞0.05) with a mean differance of (3.17 ± 16.42)ml in CHD group.EF by RT-3DE( P ＞0.05)was almost as same as that by CMRI in CHD group,with a mean difference of (1.54 ± 11.85)％.The area under ROC curve of EDV and ESV were 0.834 and 0.873 in CHD group and their diagnostic performance was moderate.ConclusionsMeasurment of LV volume and function by RT 3DE in control was more acurrate than that in CHD.In the cases of LV remodeling in patients with CHD,RT-3DE would underestimate the LV volume.
