Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(19):840-844
Objective:To investigate the potential genes associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) progression through mi-croarray expression profiling data analysis and bioinformatics approaches. Methods:mRNA expression microarray data related to CIN progression were screened from GEO database for the first time. They were re-analyzed by bioinformatics analysis. Results: Two mRNA expression microarray datasets were obtained from the GEO database. Pathway enrichment analysis of the common differen-tially expressed genes identified 3 signaling pathways associated with CIN progression, including Wnt, Endocytosis, and Vibrio cholerae infection. Fourteen differentially expressed genes were also identified. Biological annotation and text mining showed that 3 genes were directly related to CIN progression, and 9 other genes were associated with tumor progression and recurrence. GeneMania tool analysis demonstrated the protein interaction network formed between all the differentially expressed genes and the 24 reported genes. CCND2 and TGFBR2 formed direct interaction with many reported genes. Conclusion:Three signaling pathways and 14 differen-tially expressed genes were associated with CIN progression, as indicated by microarray data analysis results.

Objective To study the security of low dose and half-body irradiation by 60Co ?-rays as a new method of clinical radiotherapy.Methods The simulated manikin was used to simulate human body and two radiation modalities of facing and backing on radioactive source were adopted.Half-body irradiation was done by 60Co ?-rays with doses of 9,10 and 11 cGy.The exposure dose of every layer and important target organs in the simulated manikin were detected,and the security of low dose and half-body irradiation as a therapeutic method was evaluated.Results The exposure dose of every layer and sensitive organs were all within safety margin,when simulated manikin facing or backing on the radioactive source was irradiated by 60Co ?-rays with doses of 9,10 and 11 cGy.Further,the exposure dose of sensitive organs in the simulated manikin backing on the radioactive source was lower than that in those facing the radioacive source.Conclusion The method of low dose and half-body irradiation as a radiotherapeutic method is safe and feasible and the radiation modality of backing on the radioactive source is more safe.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of Yiqi Sanju Formula (YQSJF), a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on central obese men at high risk of metabolic syndrome (MS). METHODS: Compared with 30 healthy male volunteers, 45 central obese men were separated randomly into two groups and received the interventions with YQSJF and placebo respectively for 10 weeks. Baseline characteristics, insulin resistance, inflammation cytokines and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) were evaluated before and after treatment. RESULTS: The score of homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the levels of C reactive protein (CRP), free fatty acid (FFA) and PAI-1 in obese men were higher than those in the control group, while t-PA was lower. After treatment, compared with placebo group, body mass index, waist, and waist-to-hip ratio were decreased significantly in subjects who received YQSJF (P<0.01). The score of HOMA-IR and the levels of CRP, FFA and PAI-1 were decreased significantly, and the level of t-PA was increased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: YQSJF can reduce obesity and insulin resistance in central obese men at high risk of MS and improve inflammation and fibrinolysis, which indicates that it can reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

AIM: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of irbesartan,one of the angiotensin Ⅱreceptor blockers,on kidney function in diabetic rats. METHODS: Forty adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group,diabetes group,irbesartan group and captopril group. At the end of 12 weeks,the rats were sacrificed. Urine volume,body weight,kidney weight/body weight,plasma,glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA_1c),urinary ?_2-microglobulin (?_2-MG) excretion,urinary albumin excretion rate (UAR),creatinine clearance (Ccr) were measured. Nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in plasma,urinary and renal tissues were determined. RESULTS: Urine volume,kidney weight/body weight,plasma glucose,HbA1C,UAR,Ccr,urinary ?_2-MG excretion,NO and ET-1 levels of urinary,blood and renal tissue in diabetic rats were significantly higher than those of normal controls ( P

Objective The purpose of our study was to evaluate the treatment of proximal humeral fractures with AO Philos plate. Methods From June 2007 to May 2009, 29 cases of proximal humeral fractures were fixed with AO Philos plate. According to Neer classification, 11 cases were two-part fractures, 16 cases three-part fractures and 2 cases four-part fractures. Results Twenty-nine cases were followed 9-16 months (averaging 11.3 months). The results were evaluated with Neer's evaluation system: 13 patients were graded as excellent,12 as good, 4 as fair. Conclusion AO Philos plate is less invasive comparing with traditional method. It can provide solid fixation, permit early functional rehabilitation and lead to a compromising clinical result.

Objective To analyze mutations in the PTCH1 gene in a pedigree with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS).Methods Blood samples were collected from a 58-year-old male proband with NBCCS (Ⅱ 5),his brothers (Ⅱ 1 and Ⅱ 3) and son (Ⅲ4),and 50 unrelated healthy human controls.DNA was extracted from these blood samples.PCR and direct DNA sequencing were performed to determine mutation sites in the PTCH1 gene.According to the mutation sites,allele-specific oligonucleotide primers were designed and used to confirm the pathogenic mutations in this pedigree through PCR.Results A nonsense mutation (c.2137C),which leads to the substitution of CAG by TAG with the generation of a premature termination codon (Q714X),was identified in exon 14 in one allele of the PTCH1 gene in the proband and his son,but in none of the healthy human controls.Conclusion The nonsense mutation (c.2137C > T) in the PTCH1 gene may be a specific mutation causing the clinical symptoms in the patient with NBCCS.
