The changes of several oncogenes and suppressor genes in the specimens of cancerous and juxtacancerous tissues of 42 cases of gastric cancer were studied with Southern blot hybridization and PCR-RELP method.The probes used were c-Ha-ras,K-ras,N-ras,N-myc,c-myc,hst,EGFR,c-erbB-2,p53 and Rb.Amplification,rearrangement,and deletion of c-Ha-ras were detected in 8/33 (25.8%) cases of gastric cancer (amplification or rearrangement of hst and c-erbB-2 in 11/42 (26.6%) and 12/42 (29.2%) cases respectively (amplification of EGFR in 21.4% of cas-esideletion or rearrangement of p53 and Rb in S/30 (30%) and 2/15 (13%) cases respectively) and amplification or rearrangement of N-ras (0/33),K-ras (1/26),N-myc (1/26),and c-myc (1/ 35) was only rarely encounted.The point mutation in codon 248 and 249 of p53 in gastric cancer was analyzed.2 cases of the 42 harbored point mutation in codon 248 of p53.These findings suggest that e-Ha-ras,hst,c-erbB-2,EGFR and p53 may be the hot point genes in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.

Mutation of ras gene family was studied in 206 cases of gastric cancer and precancerous lesions by PCR/RFLP, PCR/SSCP and DNA suquencmg. The results showed: the mutation rates of H-ras 12 codon in metaplasia, atypical dysplasia, early cancer and advanced cancer were 16.7%(6/36), 31.2%(15/48), 50.0% (5/10), 32.2% (20/60), respectively. In the groups of superficial gastritis and normal controls, no mutations were found. Mutations of H-ras 61 codon and N-ras 12 codon in various groups were the same as that of normal controls. Only 2 cases of K-ras 12 codon mutation were detected in gastric cancer group by PCR-SSCP, but it was not identified by DNA sequencing. It might be due to polymorphism. All H-ras 12 codon mutations were of G→T mutation. There were significant differences between groups of metaplasia, dysplasia, gastric carcinoma and normal controls. (P

Objective To investigate the changes of estrogen receptor expression in mast cells of bronchial mucosa from female asthmatic patients.Methods 12 cases of female asthmatic patients and 9 cases of control female patients were enrolled in this study.The bronchial mucosa was obtained from the third grade bronchial by fiexible bronchofiberscope.Mast cells were marked by anti-mast cell tryptase monoclonal antibody,the expression of estrogen receptor(ER)were detected by anti-human estrogen receptor(ER)monoclonal antibodies.Results Mast cells and estrogen receptor positive cells of bronchial mucosa in female asthmatic patients were significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.01).Coincident with the known features of bronchial asthma,the cells positive for estrogen receptor were morphologically similar to the mast cells.The cells stained for estrogen receptors by dual immunostaining coincided exactly with cells labeled as mast cells.Conclusion The result suggested the estrogen may be involved in the pathogenesis of female asthmatic patient through the changes of estrogen receptor expression in mast cells of bronchial mucosa.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most frequent malignant tumors. In order to systematically characterize the cellular and molecular mechanisms of intestinal GC development, in this study, we used 22 K oligonucleotide microarrays and bioinformatics analysis to evaluate the gene expression profiles of GC in 45 tissue samples, including 20 intestinal GC tissue samples,20 normal appearing tissues (NATs) adjacent to tumors and 5 noncancerous gastric mucosa tissue samples. These profiles allowed us to explore the transcriptional characteristics of GC and determine the change patterns in gene expression that may be of clinical significance. 1519 and 1255 differentially- expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in intestinal GC tissues and NATs, respectively, as determined by Bayesian analysis (P < 0.001). These genes were associated with diverse functions such as mucosa secretion, metabolism, proliferation, signaling and development, which occur at different stages of GC development.

Objectives:To examine the efficacy of terminal branches portal vein embolization(TBPVE) for the increment of FLR in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients and to introduce its clinical value with transcatheter chemoembolization(TACE) in the treatment of HCC patients without surgery.Methods:One hundred and fifty HCC patients from three clinical centers of china underwent TBPVE technique from December 2016 to May 2021,including 89 males and 61 females. The average age was 51.9 years(range:18 to 79 years).One hundred and one patients were diagnosed with a background of HBV infection,including 27 patients with portal venous hypertension.TACE was performed simultaneously with TBPVE in 102 patients.Fifty-three patients underwent hepatectomy,who were subdivided into HBV positive and HBV negative groups,with TACE and without TACE groups to analyze the increment of future liver remnant (FLR), complications and survival data.These data were also analyzed in other 97 patients without hepatectomy.Results:All the patients reached adequate FLR successfully in 14 days after TBPVE including patients with portal venous hypertension.The average increment rates of FLR was 56.2% in 7 days and 57.8% in 14 days after TBPVE. There was no significant difference neither between HBV positive and HBV negative groups(7 days:(55.0±27.3)% vs.(57.8±20.9)%, t=0.885, P=0.373; 14 days:(57.3±24.6)% vs.(58.3±23.7)%; t=0.801, P=0.447),or between with TACE and without TACE groups(7 days:(62.3±26.3)% vs. (48.8±20.6)%; t=1.788, P=0.077;14 days:(64.4±25.0)% vs.(55.2±23.1)%; t=1.097, P=0.257).The morbidity and mortality rates were 20.8% and 1.9% in patients with hepatectomy.The 1-,3-year overall survival(OS) and disease-free(DFS) rates were 87.5%,64.5% and 64.7%,40.6% for patients underwent surgery.There was no significant difference of 1-,3-year OS and DFS between HBV positive and negative groups,but there were different between TACE and without TACE groups.The 1-,3-year OS for patients underwent TBPVE and TACE but without surgery were 80.1%, 53.7%. Conclusion:TBPVE is a good alternative technique for modulation of FLR for staged hepatectomy even in HBV positive HCC patients and can be applied with TACE procedure simultaneously as an option treatment for patients with no intend to surgery.
