Objective To detect the expression of selenium binding protein 1 ( SBP1 ) in gastric cancer cell line SGC7901, BGC823, normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1, gastric cancer tissues and normal gastric tissues, explore the relationship between SBP1 and pathologic features, and discuss the feasibility of SBP1 as an diagnostic marker of gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 135 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from 2006 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. The expression of SBP1 in the gastric cancer tissues and 16 cases of normal gastric tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expressions of SBP1 of SGC7901, BGC823 and GES-1 were determined by Western blot and RT-PCR. All data were analyzed by using chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance.Results The mRNA expressions of SBP1 in BGC823 and SGC7091 were 0. 120 ± 0. 020 and 0. 133 ± 0. 015,respectively, which were significantly lower than 0. 907 ± 0. 015 in GES-1 ( F = 2106. 462, P ＜ 0.05 ). The protein expression of SBP1 in BGC823 and SGC7901 were 0.253 ±0.015 and 0.273 ±0.015 ,respectively, which were significantly lower than 0.877 ±0.025 in GES-1 ( F = 1026. 758, P ＜0.05 ). A strong positive reaction of SBP1 was observed in 3 cases of gastric cancer tissues and 16 cases of normal gastric tissues. The decrease of the protein expression of SBP1 was correlated with clinical stages of the patients ( x2 = 12. 629, P ＜ 0.05 ), rather than the sexes, ages, tumor histological types, tumor differentiation, infiltration depths and lymph node metastasis (x2 =2. 142, 0.860, 1.838, 5.001,4.858, 1.994, P＞0. 05). Conclusions The decrease of SBP1 expression could be used as a marker in diagnosing gastric cancer. Down-regulation of SBP1 expression may play an important role in the genesis and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To detect the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-lα (HIF-1α) in both mRNA and protein and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in human epithelial ovarian cancer,and investigate the abnormal state of oxygen metabolism and their interaction in human epithelial ovarian cancer develoment.Methods The expression of HIF-1α in mRNA and protein in epithelial ovarian cancer were detected by real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical Elivision plus two-step method,and the level of ROS was detected by fluorescence microplate reader.Results The relative content of HIF-1α mRNA in the epithelial ovarian cancer group was 4.466±0.754,which was higher than that of the benign control group (6.073±1.053) (t =-7.701,P =0.000).The expression of HIF-1α mRNA was raised gradually in tissues of the benign ovarian tumor,early and advanced stage of epithelial ovarian cancer (t =5.301,P =0.000).The expression of HIF-1α mRNA in the epithelial ovarian cancer had positive correlation with grade and lymph node metastasis (t =3.724,-3.851,P =0.000).The positive expression rate of HIF-1 α protein in epithelial ovarian cancer was 63.49 ％ (40/63),which was higher than that of the benign group (U =433,P =0.005),which had positive correlation with lymph node metastasis and stage (x2 =4.289,12.360; P =0.038,0.000).The expression of ROS in the epithelial ovarian cancer was 110.239±18.414,which was higher than that of the benign group (58.366±20.360) (t =11.068,P =0.000),which had positive correlation with grade,lymph node metastasis and stage (t =-2.055,2.816,-4.138; P =0.044,0.007,0.000).There was a moderate positive correlation between the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and ROS in epithelial ovarian cancer (r =0.572,P =0.000),and that was similar in low differentiation group and advanced group,there was a relatively high positive correlation in lymph node metastasis group (r =0.703,P =0.001),there was a relatively low correlation between HIF-1α mRNA and ROS (r =0.376,P =0.002).Conclusion Hypoxia is the basic characteristic of human epithelial ovarian carcers.This study suggested that HIF-1α is associated with human epithelial overaian cancer prognosis.ROS and HIF-1α might be involved in the genesis of human epithelial ovarian cancer,and the regulation of ROS to HIF-1α may play the important roles in the invasion and metastasis process of human epithelial ovarian cancer.The expression of HIF-1α is regulated by ROS at the transcriptional and protein levels,probably mainly on protein level.

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of Capsule Long-Bi-Xiao(LBX) in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods 64 patients of deficiency of Qi and blood stasis type suffered with BPH were randomly divided into two groups.30 patients in the control group were treated with Capsule Long-Bi-Shu,while other 34 patients in the treated group were treated with LBX.Each group was observed for there months respectively.Results LBX decreased the international index of prostatic symptom(I-Pss) and the bother score(BS),improved the prostatic symptoms,raised the peak flow rate(Qmax) and the average flow rate(Qave),shrinked a portion of patients′ volume of prostate gland,reduced the volume of residual urine.After treatment,in the treated group,I-PSS and BS were reduced distinctly,and Qmax and Qave were heightened obviously,which was more effective than those in the control group.Conclusion LBX can achieve good action in the therapy of BPH by improving clinical symptoms,diminishing the volume of prostate and ameliorating the difficulty of urination.
