p53 gene mutations and their expression in protein levels of colorectal adenomas, carcinomas and regional lymph nodes metastasis were detected by PCR-SSCP and AB-PAP immunohistochemical analysis, respectively. The results showed that p53 gene mutations were detected in 25% colorectal adenomas, 80% carcinomas and 100% regional lymph nodes metastasis. Meanwhile, p53 proteins were detected at rates of 75%, 60% and 57% in these three groups, respectively. It is suggested that p53 gene mutations occur frequently at late stage of progression to colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence and may relate to its metastasis, while the accumulation of p53 protein may be a specific genetic alteration initiated from adenomatous stage. Thus, the biological significances of the two genetic alterations are different. Investigations of these concomitantly would be helpful in understanding the malignant potential of adenoma and evaluation of its staging.

Objective To explore the effects of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the hyperoxia-induced lung injury in premature rats. Methods Forty-eight premature Wistar rats were randomized into two groups 12 hours after birth:hyperoxia group (n=24) inhaled 95%oxygen and control group (n=24) inhaled air. Eight rats were sacriifced in each group on day 1, 3, 7 after the treatment and the left lungs were embedded. The pathological changes in the HE stained sections of lung tissues were observed. The expressions of ER related protein ERp57 and c/EBP homologous protein CHOP were detected by immuno histo-chemistry and the apoptosis of lung cells was detected by TUNEL analysis. Results The typical pathological characteristics of acute lung injury were observed in hyperoxia group. The expressions of ERp57 and CHOP were increased with the exposure time in hyperoxia group, and were signiifcantly higher than in control group (P<0.05). The apoptosis rate of lung cells in hyperoxia group was signiifcantly higher than in control group (P<0.01). There was signiifcant positive correlation between cell apoptosis index and expressions of Erp57 and c/EBP homogeneous protein. Conclusions ER stress initiated apoptosis participates and plays an important role in the process of hyperoxia-induced lung injury in premature rats.

Objective Idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN)is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults,and the prognosis of IMN varies among individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis and risk factors,especially the prognostic indicators in kidney patholo?gies for IMN. Methods Patients diagnosed as IMN by renal biopsy from January 2006 to December 2011 were collected and those who finished at least 12 months of follow?up were enrolled in this study. The clinical and renal pathological indicators were collected and the correlation between the pathological indicators and the prognosis was analyzed. Results Totally 137 patients were enrolled in this study,18 patients(13.14%)reached the follow up ending point(defined as eGFR<30 mL/min). The prognosis of kidney function was poor in IMN patients with interstitial fibrosis,tubular atrophy and severe vascular sclerosis and those who were older at disease onset and demonstrated to have higher MAP,poorer renal function,intersti?tial fibrosis,tubular atrophy and worse vascular sclerosis. Conclusion Renal pathological characteristics during renal biopsy were correlated with the renal prognosis of IMN. Severe interstitial fibrosis,tubular atrophy and vascular sclerosis were identified as risk factors for the poor prognosis of re?nal function in IMN patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the survival and differentiation of autologous bone-marrow mononuclear cell (ABM-MNCs) after transplanted to infarcted area and border area, and the effect of ABM-MNC on the cardiac function.Methods40 male big-ear Japanese rabbits were divided randomly into the transplanted group and control group with 20 animals in each group. Acute myocardial infarction model was made by ligating left anterior descending artery. 7 days later, Brdu labeled ABM-MNCs were injected into myocardium in the transplanted group, while the control rabbits were injected with saline. Six weeks later, tests of histology and immunohistochemistry were performed.ResultsViable cells labeled with Brdu can be identified in the infarcted area, and myocytes and endothelial cells labeled with Brdu can also be found in the border area, these cells demonstrated myogenic differentiation with the expression of α-actin by immunostaining. While, no cells labeled with Brdu were found in the control group. Moreover, the vessel density of the transplanted group in the borders of the infarction was higher than the control group (P<0.05), but there was no difference in infarcted area between two groups (P>0.05).At the 6 weeks after experiment, the cardiac function was improved in both groups, but there was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionABM-MNCs injected into the infarcted myocardium can survive in both the infarcted and border areas, and differentiate into endothelial cells and other cells which are able to obtain the characters of myocytes, and increase the vessel density in border area, improve the cardiac function.

This paper introduces the new research achievement and progress of electro-physiology in olfaction and gustation. Classical implements such as patch-clamp or glass pipette are not appropriate in the dynamic detection of cellular signal transportation. In view of this, we have analyzed the feasibilities and challenges of olfactory or gustatory cell-based biosensors such as field effect transistor (FET) and light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS). Finally we present the research work carried our in out lab and a future prospective on the development in this field.

［18F］6-fluoro-3, 4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine(［18F］F-DOPA)has been used as a radiotracer for Parkinson′s disease over 30 years. The previously reported electrophilic synthesis method has low radiochemical yield(RCY), low specific activity(SA)and other defects. Recent reported nucleophilic synthesis of ［18F］F-DOPA could overcome the disadvantages. In this paper, the nucleophilic synthetic methods for ［18F］F-DOPA are reviewed.

Intestinal microorganisms are closely related to human health or disease status. Spinal cord injury is a serious traumatic disease of the nervous system. Recent studies have shown that intestinal flora can affect the progression of spinal cord injury. At the same time, intestinal flora is closely related to spinal cord injury complications such as anxiety, depression, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, constipation, neurocystitis and urinary system infection through intestinal-brain axis, intestinal-lung axis and oral-pulmonary axis. In this paper, the intestinal flora will be used as the starting point to explore the relationship between spinal cord injury, intestinal flora and spinal cord injury complications, providing new ideas for the treatment of spinal cord injury patients and the prevention of complications.

Objective To isolate the glioblastoma multiforme stem cells (GBM-SCs) from GBM specimens and to investigate the biological role ofmiR-153 in GBM-SCs so as to explore the application of gene therapy of GBMs.Methods CD133+ cells were separated using magnetic cell sorting technique (MACS) after primary culture.Immunofluorescence staining was employed to detect the CD133,nestin,glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) expressions; real time-PCR was used to analyze miR-153 mRNA expression in CD 133-cells and CD 133+ cells.Lipofectamine RNAiMAX was used to transfect MiR-153 mimic (miR-153 group) and scrambled control oligonucleotides (NC group) into GBM-SCs; 7 d after that,sphere formation assay was performed to determine the self-renewal ability of GBM-SCs.Real time-PCR and immunofluorescence were carried out to examine the CD133,nestin,GFAP,MAP2 mRNA and protein expressions.At last,the proliferation ability of miR-153 treated GBM-SCs and NC cells was determined by CCK-8 at 24,48,72,96 and 120 h after the transfection and the apoptosis ratio was detected by flow cytometry 3 d after the transfection.Results GBM-SCs isolated from GBM specimens could express stem cell markers CD133 and nestin; after differentiation,the cells could express astrocyte marker GFAP and neuron marker MAP2; miR-153 expression in CD133+ cells was signficantly down-regulated as compared with that in CD133-cells (P＜0.05).Seven d after transfection,the number of spheres in the NC group was significantly larger than that in the miR-153 group (P＜0.05); real time-PCR indicated that the mRNA expressions of CD 133 and nestin in the miR-153 group were significantly decreased,and the GFAP and MAP2 mRNA expressions were statistically increased as compared with those in the NC group (P＜0.05).The results detected by immunofluorescence were in accordance with those by real time-PCR; 48,72,96h after the transfection,cell viability in cells from miR-153 group was statistically significant lower than that in the NC group (P＜0.05); flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of cells from the miR-153 group (9.4 1％±1.98％) was significantlyhigher than that in the NC group (4.28％±0.31％,P＜0.05).Conclusion Reactivation of miR-153 expression suggests novel therapeutic strategy for GBM-SCs.
