BACKGROUND:ETS-1,the first subgroup in the ETS family transcription factor,plays a key role in angiogenesis.Recent studies demonstrate that ETS-1 also has the important regulative functions in apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells.When the blood vessel begins to form,ETS-1 decides the apoptosis of partial endothelial cells.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the function and the research progress of vascular growth factor ETS-1 in angiogenesis and apoptosis.RETRIEVAL STRATEGY:A computer-based search in Pubmed,Sciencedirect and Ovid database was underwent to identify the articles from January 1990 to September 2007,with the Key word "ETS-1,angiogenesis,apoptosis,osteoblast,osteoclast" in English.Simultaneously,Chinese Journal Full-text Database and Wanfang database were retrieved for the related articles from January 2000 to June 2007,with the key word "ETS-1,angiogenesis,apoptosis,endothelial cell" in Chinese.Altogether 128 articles were collected and carried on the first examination.Inclusive criteria:①The articles closely correlated with ETS-1 in angiogenesis and apoptosis.②The articles published recently or in the authoritative magazine were chose for the identical domain.Exclusive criteria:Duplicated researches.LITERATURE EVALUATION:The articles were mainly the experimental study of EST-1 in angiogenesis and apoptosis.Among 31 selected articles,2 were reviews while other 29 for clinical or basic experimental studies.DATA SYNTHESIS:①When orthodontic tooth moves,alveolar bone rebuilding is the dynamical equilibrium process between bone absorption and new bone formation.This process mechanism is complex and adjusted by many kinds of factors.②Among numerous regulatory factors,ETS-1 is the dominant factor and has important effect on angiogenesis.③The research indicates,four kinds of typical vascular growth factors(acid fibroblast growth factor,basic fibroblast growth factor,vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor) can induce the ETS-1 expression,and ETS-1 promotes vessel production through inducing the expressions of the related factors with angiogenesis,such as matrix metalloproteinase and integrin ?3.④Many progresses have been achieved in the regulatory effect of ETS-1 in angiogenesis,but it still has many problems,such as how the ETS-1 precisely regulate angiogenesis,how the ETS-1 precisely adjust apoptosis in gene expression and so on.CONCLUSION:As a kind of important regulatory factors,ETS-1 has important regulatory effects on angiogenesis and apoptosis.

0.05) . The CREB-1 protein expression in cortex and hippocampus was significantly up-regulated while that in nucleus accumbens was significantly down-regulated in chronic morphine dependence and abstinence group (groupⅢandⅣ) as compared with control group. The CREB-1 protein expression in nucleus accumbens in groupⅣwas significantly lower than that in groupⅢ. Conclusion Acute morphine dependence and abstinence do not significantly affect CREB-1 protein expression in the brain. The changes in CREB-1 protein expression are different in different brain regions in chronic morphine dependence and abstinence rats.

Objective To investigate the changes in inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein Gi_2 in five brain regions of morphine addicted rats: ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and locus caeruleus. Methods 36 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups (n=6): acute morphine dependent group, acute abstinence group, acute control group, chronic morphine dependent group, chronic abstinent group and chronic control group. Morphine dependent models were reproduced. Withdrawal syndrome was induced with naloxone 5mg/kg for 30min in rats of abstinence group. All rats were sacrificed by decapitation. Frozen sections of coronal plane of respective brain regions (ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, locus coeruleus, hippocampus) were prepared. The relative concentrations of Gi_2 protein were determined with immunohistochemical methods. Results Gi_2 proteins in acute morphine dependent group and acute abstinence group were significantly decreased compared with that of acute control group in nucleus accumbens (P

Objective To study the relationship between chromosome aberration and the pathogenesis,development and prognosis of lung carcinoma. Methods Tissue speciments from 30 cases of lung carcinoma and 10 cases of normal lung tissue were detected using FISH with chromosome 6 probe,respectively. Results All of the 30 cases of lung carcinoma were found chromosome 6 aberration,involved monosomy,trisomy,and even heptasomy.But there was no chromosome 6 aberration found in normal lung tissues.The significant difference was between these two groups. Conclusion Chromosome 6 aberration may occur in the early stage of lung carcinoma,which may closely relate with the process of pathogenesis,development of lung carcinoma.The chromosome 6 aberration may have the significant association with clinical phase and pathological differentiation among the patients.

Objective To investigate the changes in CREB_1 proteins in five brain regions of rats with morphine addiction and withdrawal with the technique of immunohistochemistry. Methods Thirty six adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups (n=6 for each), i.e. acute morphine dependent group, acute abstinence group, acute control group, chronic morphine dependent group, chronic abstinence group and chronic control group. Animals in dependent groups and abstinence groups were administered with morphine by intraperitoneal injection till morphine dependent models were established. The rats in abstinence groups withdrawal syndromes were induced with naloxone 5mg/kg for 30min. The rats in control groups were injected with saline. All rats were sacrificed by decapitation. The coronal sections of discrete brain regions (hypothalamus, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, locus coeruleus, hippocampus) were obtained. The relative concentrations of CREB_1 protein were determined with immunohistochemistry. Results In acute morphine dependent and abstinence groups, CREB_1 protein decreased significantly compared with the acute control group in locus coeruleus (P0.05). Conclusion The morphine-induced CREB_1 protein changes may reflect differential G protein-cAMP-CREB signal transduction pathways in morphine dependent and abstinence rats.

Objective The molecular basis for opiate tolerance and dependence remains poorly understood despite extensive investigation in several preparations, including the hippocampus. Recent studies have implicated that the hippocampus played a central role in opiate tolerance, dependence and withdrawal. The current study is to explore the change in guanine nucleotide binding protein-inhabitant (Gi_2) protein in primary cultured hippocampal neurons with morphine treament. Methods The hippocampus was harvested from newborn Sprague-Dawley rats. Primary hippocampal neuronal cultures of 7 days in vitro were used and divided randomly into six groups (n=6), i.e. morphine treatment 4h group (M4), 8h group (M8), 16h group (M16), 24h group (M24), 48h group (M48) and control group (C). All morphine treatment groups were treated with morphine (10?mol/L). C group was treated with saline. The G protein levels were determined with immunofluorscence and laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) imaging techniques. Results Gi_2 protein levels in M16, M24 and M48 groups decreased significantly compared with that in C group (P0.05). Among M16, M24 and M48 groups, Gi_2 protein level was lowest in the M48 group. Conclusion The results indicated that Gi_2 protein levels decreased significantly in primary cultured hippocampal neurons with morphine treatment, which might be a potential molecular mechanism of opioid tolerance and dependence.

Objective: To observe the controlled hypotension effects of nicardipine in 2 different ways for spinal tumor operalion. Methods: Twenty-four adult patients, scheduled for selective spinal tumor operation, were randomly divided into 2 groups. In groupⅠ(n=12), the nicardipine was infused at a rate of 10 μg*kg-1*min-1 and the infusion continued until MAP was at the level of 7.33-8.66 kPa, and then the rate was decreased to 1 μg*kg-1*min-1. In Group Ⅱ(n=12), nicardipine was given 0.01-0.02 mg/kg as the load dose, then infused at 1-2 μg*kg-1*min-1. Results: During the period of controlled hypotension, cardiac index(CI) increased significantly, other hemodynamic variables were stable and no hypertension rebound occurred in both groups. Reaching time of target blood pressure in groupⅡ was shorter than that in groupⅠ（P＜0.05）. The dose required to obtain target blood pressure in group Ⅱwas less than that in group Ⅰ（P＜0.05）. BP recovery time from discontinuing nicardipine infusion to pre-hypotension level,bleeding volume and transfusion volume were similar between 2 groups（P＞0.05）.During mass bleeding,　serious arrhythmia and oliguria did not occur in any case. Conclusion: Controlled hypotension with nicardipine is rapid, stable and easily controlled without hypertension rebound. Nicardipine has considerable protective effects on heart and kidney during mass bleeding. The method of bolus injection followed with intravenous infusion is more suitable to clinical application.

Objective: To observe the inhibitory effect of scopolamine(Spm) and chlopromazine (Clo) on withdrawal syndromes in morphine dependent rats. Methods: The intensity of withdrawal syndromes on the model of morphine dependent rats was recorded after single or muiltiple subcutaneous administration(sc) of Spm and Clo at different doses. Results: Withdrawal syndromes were markedly decreased when single Spm 1 mg/kg and Clo 0.5 mg/kg combined with morphine were injected (P<0.05). Spm+Clo(sc) had much stronger effects on inhibiting withdrawal syndromes after intraperitoneal (ip) naloxone in morphine dependent rats (P<0.01). Conclusion: Spm can act on Ach-receptor and relieve morphine withdrawal syndromes. Clo may have a synergistic action with Spm via α2-receptor in the locus coeruleus of the rat brain stem.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on the proliferation of human erythroleukemia K562 cells and its mechanisms.Methods After K562 cells (purchased from Shanghai cell bank of chinese academy of science) were treated with different concentrations (0 mg/L,100 mg/L,200 mg/L and 400 mg/L) of APS.The influences of APS on the growth rate,doubling time and cell cycle distribution of K562 cells were observed by methyl thiazolyl tetra-zolium assay (MTF) and flow cytometry,respectively.Furthermore,the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting assay were used to detect the expressions of Cyclin A,Cyclin B,Cyclin E and p21 gene at the mRNA and protein levels,respectively.Results MTT assay findings showed that,compared to the control group (0 mg/L APS),growth rates of K562 cells treated with 100 mg/L,200 mg/L and 400 mg/L APS decreased significantly (all P ＜ 0.01),and the doubling times lengthened significantly (all P ＜ 0.01).Flow cytometry findings revealed that,compared to the control group,the G1 phase cells in K562 cells of APS group increased significantly (P ＜0.01),while the S and G2/M phase cells decreased significantly (all P ＜ 0.01).RT-PCR and Western blotting results indicated that Cyclin B and Cyclin E expression of K562 cells at the mRNA and protein levels in the APS group were significantly lower than those of the control group(all P ＜ 0.01),whereas p21 expression was significantly enhanced at mRNA and protein levels (P ＜ 0.01),and Cyclin A expression was not significantly different at mRNA and protein levels between the 2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions APS could inhibit the proliferation of human erythroleukemia K562 cells.APS could inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells by down-regulating the expression of Cyclin B and Cyclin E and up-regulating the expression of p21.
