Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2000;0(11):-
Objective To study the expression of small breast epithelial mucin(SBEM) in the peripheral blood of the patients with breast cancer,and explore the correlation between micrometastasis and SBEM.Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 92 patients with breast carcinoma,20 patients with benign breast diseases,10 patients with malignant tumor not originating from breast,and 10 normal healthy volunteers.SBEM-mRNA expression was detected by nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(Nested-RT PCR).Results Among 92 breast carcinoma patients,43(46.7%) were Nested-RT-PCR positive for SBEM-mRNA,but it was negative in all the other groups.The expression of SBEM-mRNA in peripheral blood did not correlate with ER or PR status,menstruation state or primary tumour size.but correlated with patient′s age,the state of Her-2,CEA,CA15-3 and axillary lymph node metastasis of breast cancer.Conclusions The expression of SBEM-mRNA in peripheral blood of breast cancer can be of potential use to monitor the micrometastasis of breast cancer.

Oxidative damage theory is currently one of the predominant theories on the mechanisms of aging. Previous research has shown that antioxidants can extend the lifespan in the model organism by scavenging free radicals,inducing the expression of stress related genes and hormesis. However, recent studies have suggested that these pharmaceuticals may cause serious side effects,such as promoting oxidation,increasing the risk of cancer,and destroying the metabolic balance. The low absorption and targeting property also limit the efficiency of most antioxidants. As a result ,the correlation between antioxidants and lifespan extension remains to be demonstrated. We reviewed the research progress in the field of lifespan extension by antioxidants in recent years and provided references for future research in related areas.

Objective To explore the etiology, pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation and treatment for dengue fever according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) . Methods A retrospective case analysis was carried out in 257 dengue fever patients admitted in 2013 by Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The clinical data of pathogenic features, TCM symptoms and signs, and therapeutic regimen were collected and analyzed. Results Six commonly-seen TCM syndrome patterns for dengue fever were classified into disease involving both defensive system and Qi system, excessive heat in defensive system, summer-heat and dampness stagnating the middle-jiao or attacking the exterior, excessive heat in both Qi system and blood system, pathogenic factors lodging between diaphragm and pleura, and mixture of blood stasis and toxicity, and the corresponding prescriptions were Yinqiao Powder, Chaige Jieji Decoction, Xinjia Xiangru Decoction, Qingwen Baidu Decoction, Dayuan Decoction, Xijiao Dihuang Decoction, respectively. Conclusion The TCM syndrome patterns of dengue fever in Guangzhou area are characterized as excessive heat in Qi system, complicated with nutrient and blood system syndrome, and mostly are blended with dampness. Correspondingly, the therapeutic principles should be clearing heat and removing toxicity in Qi system with cold-cool herbs, and assisting with cooling blood to clear heat in Qi system and removing dampness.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 3 (EP3) on transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced mouse mesangial cells damage. Methods Primary mouse mesangial cells were separated and cultured. Three siRNAs were synthesized and transfected into mesangial cells for silencing EP3 by LipofectamineTM 2000 and the best one was chosen. MCs were grouped into: (1)control group; (2)TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) group; (3)NC-siRNA plus TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) group; (4) EP3-siRNA group; (5)EP3-siRNA plus TGF-β1 (10 μg/L). Then the proliferation of MCs was evaluated by CCK-8 assay. The expression of PGE2 and cAMP in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA. The mRNA and protein expression of fibronectin (FN), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), membrane-bound prostaglandin E2 synthase 1 (mPGES1) were detected by real - time quantitative PCR and Western blotting. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 was decected by Western blotting. Results Compared with control group, the cell proliferation induced by TGF-β1 was increased (P<0.05), the expression of PGE2 and cAMP were improved, mRNA and protein expression of FN, CTGF, COX2 and mPGES1 were up-regulated (all P<0.05). Compared with TGF-β1 group, the cell proliferation in EP3-siRNA plus TGF-β1 group was reduced, the expression of FN, CTGF, COX2 and mPGES1 mRNA and protein were downregulated (all P<0.05), the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK were also declined (P<0.05). Conclusion EP3-siRNA may reduce TGF-β1-induced cell damage through upregulating the expression of cAMP, repressing the activity of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK, inhibiting the expression of COX2 mPGES1 and PGE2 by feedback, then decreased the expression of FN and CTGF.

Objective To investigate the effects of triptolide on proliferation,apoptosis and the changes of Ski,Smad3,Smad7 and collagen type I(ColI) in cultured rat mesangial cells induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1.Methods Cultured HBZY-1 rat mesangial cells were divided into 5 groups:(1)normal control group; (2)TGF-β1 group (10 μg/L); (3)-(5)triptolide (0.4,2,10 μg/L)+TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) groups.The cell proliferation was detected by MTT.Apoptosis of mesangial cells was detected by TUNEL assay.The expressions of Ski,Smad3,Smad7 mRNA were examined by real-time quantitative PCR.The expressions of Ski,Smad3,Smad7 and ColI protein were detected by Western blotting.The localizations of Ski and Smad3 protein were detected by laser confocal fluorescence microscope.Results Compared with the normal control,TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) significantly stimulated mesangial cells proliferation,while decreased apoptosis.The mRNA and protein expressions of Ski,Smad7,Smad3 and ColI protein expression in TGF-β1 group were increased (P >0.05).In comparison with TGF-β1 group,triptolide could significantly inhibit TGF-β1-induced mesangial cells proliferation in dose-dependent manner,and promote the apoptosis of mesangial cells.In TGF-β1 group,mRNA and protein expresscons of Ski and Smad7 were increased (P<0.05),Smad3 mRNA and protein were decreased (P >0.05),and ColI protein was decreased (P<0.01).In comparison with TGF-β1 group,fluorescence intensity of Ski,Smad3 proteins was significantly increased in cytoplasm,while decreased in nucleus.Conclusions Triptolide can inhibit TGF-β1-induced mesangial cells proliferation through regulating the expressions of Ski,Smad7 mRNA and protein,inhibiting Ski.Smad7 translocation to the nucleus,and down-regulating Smad3 mRNA and protein expression.Triptolide can promote apoptosis of mesangial cells.
