Objective Cloning of some specific genes related to the prostate cancer. Methods Specimen from a patient with prostate cancer and from a normal adult were studied by the improved mRNA differential display and the differentially expressed sequence-tags were cloned,sequenced and analized.Reverse transcriptive-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to examine the expression level of Clusterin in prostate cancer tissues,prostate cancer cell line and normal prostate tissues. Results Significant difference was observed between the two kinds of tissues in gene expression and seven differentially expressed sequence-tags were found through analysis in GenBank.Among them,five were proved to be new gene tags,one shared 100% homology with Clusterin,which was highly expressed in the prostate cancer tissue and the other one shared 97% homology with superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1),which was highly expressed in the normal prostate tissue.It was proved by RT-PCR that to compare with the internal marker gene ?-actin,the expression level of clusterin in prostate cancer is much higher than that of normal prostate. Conclusions Five new gene tags,clusterin and SOD1 were found to be differentially expressed between tissues of prostate cancer and normal prostate and may play important roles in carcinogenesis and development of prostate cancer.

Objective To detect differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer by cDNA microarray. Methods Total RNA was isolated by one step protocol from prostate cancer (CaP) and from normal prostate,and Poly(A) +RNA was further purified through Oligitex mRNA Midi Kit.Then it was analysed for differentially expressed genes in CaP and normal prostate by cDNA microarray with 4 096 human genes. Results There were 341 differentially expressed genes between CaP and normal prostate,of which there were 128 down regulated and 213 up regulated ones for CaP. Among these genes,15 were the most significant with 6 down regulated and 9 up regulated. Conclusions cDNA microarray can be used effectively to find out differentially expressed genes in prostate cancer which is not regulated by any single gene.Many different kinds of genes are involved in the initiation and evolution of CaP carcinogenisis.

Objective To study the expression and significance of antiapoptosis facter-clusterin in prostate neoplasm. Methods Reverse transcriptive polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR) was used to examine the expression level of clusterin in prostate cancer tissues(3 cases),prostate cancer cell line PC3M and normal prostate tissues(3 cases). Results Compared with the internal marker gene ? actin , the expression level of clusterin in prostate cancer is much higher than that of normal prostate. Conclusions The high expression level of clusterin in prostate cancer indicates that clusterin may play an important role in the biological characteristics of prostate cancer through the antiapoptosis pathway.

Shenfukang is an effective formula for glomerulonephritis applied in the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou University of TCM. It is composed of Radix Folium seu Flos Tripterygii wilfordii, Radix Astragali seu Hedysari, Radix Notoginseng, Herba Leonuri, etc.. Glomerulonephritis rat model was induced by cationized bovine serum albumin (C-BSA) according to Border's method and was used to observe the pharmacological action of Shenfukang. The results showed that Shenfukang can eliminate urine protein, increase the levels of serum protein, albumin (A), globulin (G) and A/G ratio, and decrease the contents of serum cholesterol, creatinine and urea nitrogen. It can also counteract the increase of plasma TXB 2 and the decrease of plasma 6-keto-PGF 1? . LD 50 of Shenfukang for mice is 174.34?36.74?g/kg which is much larger than that of Tripterygium wilfordii (29.73?6.46?g/kg for female mice and 101.74?10.93?g/kg for male mice). It is indicated that Shenfukang exerts a protective effect on renal function and reduces toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii.

AIM: To study the effects of alltride on experimental gastric ulcer and promoting bowl movement. METHODS: Applying experimental gastric ulcer models induced by alcohol and hydrochloric acid, ligating pylorus, indomethacin, acetic acid, calculated the index of gastric ulcer. Applying dry stool constipations in mice the first defecation time, moist dejection amounts were observed. In small intestinal propelling test in normal mice, small intestinal contents (charcoal Powder) propelling ratio was observed. RESULTS: Alltride reduced the index of ulcers in above experimental gastric ulcer model rats (P

[Objective] To observe the pharmacological action of Ganoderma Lucidum Brewage (GLB) in decreasing blood lipid. [ Methods ] Eighty rats were randimized into 8 groups: blank control (Group A), model ( Group B) high-dose GLB ( Group C), moderate-dose GLB ( Group D), low-dose GLB ( Group E), Ganoderma Lucidum Decoction (Group F), Ganoderma Lucidum Capsule (Group G) and Xuezhi Kang (Group H). So did the mice. Hyperlipidemia mouse models and rat models were induced by yolk and high-fat diet respectively. Effect of GBL in various doses to decrease blood lipid was observed in the two kinds of hyperlipidemia models and was compared with that of Xuezhi Kang, Ganoderma Lucidum Decoction and Ganoderma Lucidum Capsule. [Results] GLB could decrease the serum contents of triglycerides and cholesterol both in model mice and model rats (P

Objective To investigate the sedative and hypnotic effects of Ganoderma lucidum brewage(GLB).Methods The NIH mice were given with gavage of GLB 0.06,0.12,and 0.24g/kg per day respectively for 15 days.The spontaneous motion,the sleeping time induced by pentobarbital sodium in subthreshold dosage and threshold dosage,and the number of mice subjected to pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsion were observed.Results GLB can reduce the spontaneous motion,significantly longthen the mice sleeping time of pentobarbital sodium in threshold dosage and increase the number of sleeping mice under subthreshold dosage of pentobarbital sodium.GLB was synergic with pentobarbital sodium,and antagonized pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsion in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion GLB possesses obvious sedative,hypnotic and anticonvulsive effects.

Objective The purpose of this study was to describe the influence of therapy compliance on prognosis of children with thalassaemia major (TM). Methods Children with TM was recruited by convenient sampling. The therapy compliance was measured by compliance index (CI) and serum ferritin (SF), The correlation between therapy compliance and incidence of complications were studied. Results Low therapy compliance existed in children with TM, 22.12% (CI) and 55.77% (SF). But no statistical difference existed in therapy compliance between boys and girls (P>0.05). Complication incidence in children with low therapy compliance was 85.19% (CI) and 100.00% (SF). The incidence of cardiac complication was 60.49% (CI) and 84.78% (SF), hepatic complication was 46.91% (CI) and 76.09% (SF), infectious complication was 8.64% (CI) and 10.86% (SF), growth retardation complication was 55.56% (CI) and 67.39% (SF), anemia complication was 43.21% (CI) and 21.74% (SF). The incidence rate of complications was lower in children with better therapy compliance than those with worse therapy compliance (P<0.01). Conclusions Children with TM had low therapy compliance and high incidence rate of complications. Low therapy increased the incidence rate of complications.

Objective To investigate the quality of life of children with leukemia and the related factors.Methods The descriptive and interrelated design was used in this study.80 children with leukemia were interviewed using"the QOL instrument for children".Results The level of QOL was "generally satisfied"among children with leukemia.Mostly,the level of QOL among depression,anxiety and physical perception was less satisfied.QOL was significant related with gender,relationship in the family,performance in the schooll,relationship with peer,and personality,and was not related with place of living,whether the child was the single child in the family,disease classification and stage of ehemothrapy.Conclusions The evaluation of QOL of children with leukemia is very important.Interven-tions should be performed to improve QOL of children with leukemia,especially boy,and ehidren who are introversive.or have worse relationship with family and peers,or worse performance in the school.
