The fluoride contents increased as the total hardness decreased (r=-0.615, P

Objective To investigation the relation of leptin to birth weight and insulin in preterm and term neonates and to explore whether a functional “adipoinsular axis” might exist in preterm and term neonates. Methods A total of 264 preterm and term newborns were recruited and categorised according to gestation length. Anthropometric measurements were performed at birth. Leptin, fasting glucose and insulin were measured at 3 days of life. Results Serum leptin was significantly higher in term than in preterm. The relation between serum leptin and gestation followed a non-linear pattern; The slope of the curve began to increase after 34 weeks gestation. Serum leptin was associated with birth weight and insulin in newborn more than 32 weeks gestation(r=0.240, 0.227, P

Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of BFGF factor(BFGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor receptor(BFGFR) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods 80 casesof PTC and 10 cases of nodular goiter underwent surgical treatment from Mar.2001 to May.2005 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.Samples were collected and immunohistochemistry staining was performed to detect the expression of BFGF and BFGFR.Results The expression rate of BFGF and BFGFR was 72.5％ (58/80)vs 70.0％ (56/80) in PTC,and 0.0％ (0/10) vs 0.0％ (0/10) in nodular goiter.The difference had statistical significance(P ＜0.05).The expression level of BFGF and BFGFR in PTC had no relation with sex,age or tumor size(P ＞0.05),but has relation with lymph node metastasis and UICC stage(P ＜0.05).The expression of BFGF was positively correlated with the expression of BFGFR (r =0.330,P =0.003).Conclusions BFGF and BFGFR are highly expressed in PTC but have no expression in nodular goiter or normal thyroid tissues.The expression of BFGF and BFGFR in PTC is closely related to lymph node metastasis and UICC stage,indicating the 2 may be involved in tumorigenesis,invasion,and metastasis.

Objective To Discuss the influence of intrauterine environment to neonatal insulin sensitivity. Methods Two hundred and eight new borns were selected into our study and divided into 4 groups, they are full term adequate for gestational age(AGA) group(133 cases), full term small for gestational age(SGA) group(30 cases), preterm AGA group(87 cases) and preterm SGA group(30 cases). In the morning of the 3rd day after birth their serum glucose, insulin and lipid concentration were examined before milk, and the ratio of insulin to glucose were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS 9.0 software. Results The mean ratio of insulin to glucose are 1.243?0.703 in full term SGA group and 0.259?0.837 in full term AGA group, while in preterm SGA group and preterm AGA group the mean ratio of insulin to glucose are 1.190?0.683 and 0.497? 0.080, it shows that each SGA group has significantly higher insulin to glucose ratio than the AGA group( P

Objective To inhibit the expression level of SALI4 in AML cell line THP-1 and investigate its potential effects on pathogenesis of leukemia. Methods AML cell line THP-1 was transfected with plasmids that expressed small interfering RNA targeting SALL4. The samples were divided into 4 groups:(1) blank group: samples with not any treatments; (2) control group: cells with empty pRS vector alone;(3) test1 group:cells with SALL4-shRNA-pRS-1 plasmid transfection complex; (4) test2 group:cells with SALL4-shRNA-pRS-2 plasmid transfection complex. The expression levels of SALL4 mRNA and protein were measured by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR and WB. C-myc, Cyclin D1 and β-catenin were important components of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and their expression levels in SALL4 knockdown THP-1 cells were detected by real-time fluorescence PCR. Furthermore, THP-1 apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry after Annexin V-PI staining. Results Real time fluorescent quantitative PCR illustrated that the expression of SALL4 in testl group, test2 group, control group and blank group were ( 36. 0 ± 4. 3 ) %,(32. 0 ± 2. 4) %, ( 102. 0 ± 6.5 ) % and ( 100. 0 ± 2. 6 ) % respectively. There was statistical significance ( F = 226. 3, P < 0. 05 ). The expression of SALL4 in testl and test2 group respectively were significant lower than that in blank group (t = 19.7,19. 1, P<0. 05). The expression of SALL4 had no significant difference between blank group and control group (t = 1.1, P ＞0. 05). Western blot analysis revealed SALL4 protein in testl and test2 group were significantly decreased compared with those of control and blank group. All above data indicated the high efficiency of RNA interference targeting SALL4. Comparing with the blank group, the relative expression of C-myc, Cyclin D1 and β-catenin mRNA in test1, test2 and control group were(44.0 ±6.2)%,(44.0 ±5.1)% and (107.0±13.6)%;(22.0±4.5)%,(25.0±3.5)% and (48.0 ± 7. 6 ) %; ( 42.0 ± 3.5 ) %, ( 59. 0 ± 3.7 ) % and ( 79. 0 ± 5.6 ) %. The expression of C-myc,β-catenin and Cyclin D1 mRNA in testl and test2 group were significant lower than that in blank group (t = 10. 1,9. 5, 23. 3, 22. 9; 17.4, 12. 4; P < 0. 05). The percentage of apoptotic cells in group of test1,test2,control, blank were (57.2 ±9.1)%, (34.4 ±8.6)%, (14.4 ±3.6)% and (14.8 ±4.8)%respectively. There was statistical significance ( F = 42. 5, P < 0. 05 ). After the inhibition of SALL4, the percentages of apoptotic cell in testl and test2 group were significantly increased( t =9. 7, 4. 5 ;P <0. 05).Conclusion The inhibition of SALL4 in leukemia cell line THP-1 downregulates the expression of cell proliferation related genes such as C-myc, Cyclin D1,β-catenin and promoted apoptosis.
