When the body is attacked by trauma and infection,the serum C-reactive protein( CRP) con-centration which is produced by the liver will increase.CRP participates in the body′s humoral immunity through regulating the phagocytic cells to clear the pathogenic bacteria and necrotic tissue.The occurrence and develop-ment of malignant tumor is associated with complex inflammatory response pathway.Serum CRP concentration will change with the progress and remission of tumor.CRP is associated with differentiation of benign and malignant, the early diagnosis,the pathological stage,the lymph node metastasis,the organizational characteristics,the prog-nosis,and the treatment of malignant tumor.It is expected to be a clinical screening indicator of malignant tumor.

BACKGROUND:The low oxygen environment after femoral fracture and cerebral trauma wil induce series of related cytokines expression, including hypoxia-inducible factor 1αand core binding factorα1, which play key roles in regulating bone healing. However, whether the accelerated bone healing is correlated with the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1αand core binding factorα1 is stil unknown.
OBJECTIVE:To construct rat models of brain injury, to compare the expression level of hypoxia-inducible factor 1αand core binding factorα1 in femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma rats and simple femoral fracture rats, and to assess the influence of cerebral trauma on bone healing.
METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into blank group, simple femoral fracture group and femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma group. At 1, 2, 3 and 5 weeks after modeling, rats were executed. Bone healing was evaluated using femoral fracture end X-ray score and hematoxylin and eosin staining at cal us tissues. Besides, the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1αand core binding factorα1 of three groups were determined with immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone healing in the femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma group was better than that of simple femoral fracture group. There was significant difference in the expression level of hypoxia-inducible factor 1αand core binding factorα1 between the simple femoral fracture group and femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma group (P<0.05). At the same time, the level of simple femoral fracture group and femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma group was significantly higher than that of blank group, and that in femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma group was significantly higher than that of simple femoral fracture group (P<0.05). Results verified that the expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1αand core binding factorα1 of rats with femoral fracture combined with cerebral trauma were significantly high, which may be the major reason why the bone healing was accelerated after fracture combined with brain injury.

For investigating the effect of Jumonji domain-containing protein-3 (JMJD3) on the behavior of lung cancer cell line, A549 proliferation was measured with EDU staining and flow cytometer after JMJD3 expression plasmid and pcDNA3. 1 transfection at 48h. The migration ability of A549 was tested at the same time. The expression of p21 mRNA was measured with RT-PCR. The results showed that JMJD3 transfection increased the EDU positive cells ratio (JMJD3: 40.75% +/- 2.07%, control: 20.97% +/- 1.5%, P < 0.001). G1 phase cell ration also increased after JMJD3 transfection (JMJD3:47. 80% +/- 1.85%, control: 54.60% +/- 0.95%, P = 0.005). The mRNA expression of p21 decreased in JMJD3 group (JMJD3: 35. 89% +/- 3.71%, control: 91.78% +/- 3.74%, P < 0.001). The distances of migration were (0.47 +/- 0.27) cm and (0.96 +/- 0.40) cm after 24h and 48h with JMJD3 tranfection, compared to (0.57 +/- 0.22)cm and (1.08 +/- 0.33)cm in control, respectively (P > 0.05). JMJD3 promoted the proliferation of A549 and decreased the G1 cell numbers, decreased the p21 mRNA, but had no effect on A549 migration.
