Chinese Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology 2015;(1):48-51
Purpose To study the expression of zeb-1 and c-jun in gastric cancer and its influence of occurrence and development of tumor. Methods The expression zeb-1, c-jun and E-cadherin were assessed in 100 specimens of gastric cancer and their tissue adja-cent to cancer by immunohistochemistry. Results The positive rates of zeb-1,c-jun and E-cadherin expression in gastric cancer were 81%, 70%, 35%, and in tissue adjacent to cancer were 17%, 25%, 100%. The expression of zeb-1 and c-jun in gastric cancer were higher than those in their tissue adjacent to cancer (P<0. 05). zeb-1 expression was closely correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0. 05), which were not correlated with patient s age, sex and tumor size. c-jun expression was closely correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation (P<0. 05), which were not correlated with other pathological features. The expression of zeb-1 was negatively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin and was positively correlated with the expression of c-jun in gastric cancer. Patients with high expression of zeb-1 and c-jun had lower five-year survival rate than patients with negative expression. Conclusion zeb-1 and c-jun are closely correlated with occurrence and development of gastric cancer. They can be a index of judging prognosis of gastric cancer.

BACKGROUND: Dynamic balance of endothelin (ET) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays an important role in occurrence and development of cerebral infarction.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of thromboiytic therapy with batroxobin(DF-521) on the levels of plasma ET and CGRP after cerebral infarction.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Fourth Department of Gereology, General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the Fourth Department of Gereology, General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. Totally 15 New Zealand rabbits aged from 18-20 months, of common grade and either sex, with the mean body mass of (3.5±0.5) kg were selected.METHODS: A total of 15 rabbits were established into cerebral infarction models with modified autogeneic thrombus method. One rat died when selecting models. Other 14 rats were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group. DF-521 was slowly injected into vein of ear edge of rats in the treatment group at hour 2 after embolism. Saline of the same volume was slowly injected into rats of the control group. Changes of concentrations of plasma ET and CGRP in the treatment group and control group were observed before and after cerebral infarction.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of ET and CGRP contents 1 hour before operation, 2 hours after operation (before drug injection) and 6 hours after operation (4 hours after drug injection).RESULTS: Of the 15 included rabbits, 1 rat died when establishing model, so 14 rabbits were involved in the result analysis. ET level significantly increased at hour 2 after acute cerebral infarction operation in the treatment group and control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and then decreased at hour 6 after operation (P < 0.01 ,P < 0.01 ). The decrease in the treatment group was larger than that in the control group (P < 0.01 ). The level of CGRP markedly reduced at hour 2 after acute cerebral infarction operation in the two groups, and than increased at hour 6 after operation. The increase in the treatment group was larger than that in the control group, but there was no statistical difference (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Body with cerebral infarction during acute stage has selfregulative mechanism on dysequilibrium of ET and CGRP. Early-used thrombolytic therapy with DF-521 can markedly increase the ET level,which may be one of the protective mechanisms of cerebral ischemical reperfusion injury.

BACKGROUND:There are many multimodal analgesia schemes in perioperative period of total knee arthroplasty, but there is no ideal scheme. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of multi-mode and preemptive analgesia on analgesic effect after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:120 patients with severe osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral knee arthroplasty were enroled in this study. According to different analgesic effects, the patients could be divided into four groups (n=30). In the control group, no corresponding analgesic measures were found before and during replacement. In the preemptive analgesia group, celecoxib was oraly taken before replacement. In the cocktail analgesia group, cocktail was periarticularly injected during replacement. In the multimodal combined analgesia group, celecoxib was oraly taken before replacement + cocktail was periarticularly injected during replacement. After replacement, intravenous patient-controled analgesia pump was applied in each group. Active flexion range-of-motion, visual analogue scale score in the resting and active states and knee Keen Society Score were measured at various time points after total knee arthroplasty in four groups. Adverse reactions were recorded after replacement. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Active flexion range-of-motion, visual analogue scale score in the resting and active states and knee Keen Society Score were better in the preemptive analgesia, cocktail analgesia and multimodal combined analgesia groups than in the control group at various time points after replacement (alP < 0.05). Above indexes were better in the multimodal combined analgesia group than in the preemptive analgesia and cocktail analgesia groups (alP < 0.05). No significant difference in above indexes was detected between the preemptive analgesia and cocktail analgesia groups (alP > 0.05). No significant difference in the number of cases affecting nausea and vomiting was detected at 2 weeks after replacement in the four groups (P > 0.05). There was no deep venous thrombosis of double lower limbs or necrosis and infection of incision. These findings suggest that the effects of preemptive analgesia before total knee arthroplasty, local injection analgesia during replacement, and the combined analgesia of intravenous patient-controled analgesia pump after replacement were ideal. Adverse reactions did not increase, and the operation was safe. At present, multimodal combined analgesia has been accepted by us, but to achieve truly painless results after total knee arthroplasty stil needs more efforts.
