Objective To investigate the expressions of thymidylate synthase (TS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette superfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) in advanced gastric cancer (GC) and to explore their correlation with clinical pathological features.Methods A total of 80surgical specimens of advanced gastric cancer patients were collected.The expressions of TS and ABCG2 in gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal gastric tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method.The expression of P-glycoprotein in gastric cancer tissues was also examined.The correlations between TS,ABCG2 and clinical pathological features and P-glycoprotein were analyzed.Chi-square test was performed for two groups comparison and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for multi-groups comparison.Results The positive rates of both TS and ABCG2 in gastric cancer tissues [85.0％ (68/80) and 90.0％ (72/80)] were higher than those of adjacent normal gastric tissues [62.5 ％ (50/80) and 78.7 ％ (63/80)],the differences were statistically significant (x2 =11.466 and 16.463,P=0.009 and 0.001).There were close correlation between the expression of TS,ABCG2 and tumor TNM stage,differentiation status,invasion depth (TS:x2 =30.686,61.470 and 40.545 ; ABCG2:x2=48.192,63.150 and 47.512; all P＜0.01).The later the tumor staged,the worse the cells differentiated and the deeper the tumor invaded,the higher level they expressed.Both TS and ABCG2expressions in gastric cancer tissues were correlated with the expression level of P glycoprotein (x2 =43.977and 29.509,both P＜0.01).Conclusion TS and ABCG2 may be potential indexes to predict the degree of malignancy,progression,drug resistance and prognosis in gastric cancer.

Objective To approach the expressions and the roles of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinases (MT1-MMP) in valve disease with pressure overload which induces extracellular matrix remodeling of left ventricle. MethodsOf 32 patients, 16 cases were pressure overload group (PO), who had the multiple valve disease with predominately aortic valve stenosis, having a ring diameter of aorta valve less than 1.3 cm, cross valve pressure gradient equal or more than 40 mmHg, and valvular regurgitation less than 4.0 cm2; The other 16 cases, as mitral stenosis group (MS), were simple mitral stenosis patients with single valve replacement. Meanwhile, 5 normal individuals served as control, who died from accident. Echocardiography was used to analyze the left ventricular function and detect the hypertrophic level of the left ventricle. Left ventricle muscle samples were obtained during operation. Histological features were studied by Masson staining, and collagenous contents were quantitated with a computer-assisted imaging analysis system. The mRNA expressions of CTGF and MT1-MMP were detected with RT-PCR. ResultsConcentric hypertrophy was observed significant in PO group, but myocardial hypertrophy was not found in MS group. Compare to the MS group and control, PO group had significantly more collagenous contents in left ventricle, thickened vessel wall, and narrow lumen of blood vessel (P0.05), but CTGF mRNA expression was increased in MS group compare to control (P

Objective To summarize experiences in the perioperative management for combined aortic and mitral valve replacement. Methods One hundred and twenty patients undergoing double valves replacement(DVR) within 10 years were studied. Ameliorate patients' cardiac function before operation. Median sternotomy was performed. The inter-atrial sulcus approach or the right atrial septal approach was chosen, the posterior mitral leaflet and subvalvular apparatus were preserved as much as possible, and DeVega's or Kay's valvuloplasty was performed for moderate and severe tricuspid regurgitation. According to the patient's cardiac function and general condition, active medication with vasomotor drugs, and diuretics as well as intensive postoperative care were administered in the ICU. Results Seven patients died in the perioperative period (in 30 days), and the mortality rate was 5.8%. Early postoperative complications occurred in 22 cases (18%). Conclusion Comprehensive perioperative management could reduce both perioperative mortality and postoperative complications.

Objective To detect the expression of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in the sun exposure and non-exposure skin,to observe the elastic protein in the same location,and to explore the relationship between non-enzymatic glycation reactions and,photo-aging skin morphological changes.Methods In the exposure and non-exposure specimens from 30 patients,elastic fibers were stained with Gomori staining,and immunohistochemistry for AGEs was performed.Results AGEs expressed clearly positive in all elastic fibers of degeneration markedly (+ + above) of exposure skin,and appeared line-like in markedly(+ + above)elastic fibers.While in all non-exposure skin,AGEs expressed negative.In the exposure skin with middle or old age,compared with non-exposure skin,AGEs expressed more and elastic fibers were hyperplasia with thickening,curling and irregular distribution.The skin parts of AGEs expressed accorded with where elastic fibers degenerated.Conclusions Ultraviolet radiation can induce denaturation of elastic fibers and non-enzymatic glycation may contribute to the mechanism of skin photo-aging.

Objective To explore the influence of tranSCription factor FOXC2 in angiogenesis of breast cancer MCF-7 cells and to clarify the action mechanism of FOXC2 in promoting tumor angiogenesis.Methods FOXC2 gene and empty vector gene were transfected into breast cancer of MCF-7 cell line with FOXC2 lentivirus gene transfection technique to obtain stable transfection cell line. The MCF-7 cells were devided into non-transfected group,empty-vector group and over-expression group.Matrigel assay and Transwell chamber test were used to observe the changes of tube formation and migration ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)in MCF-7 cells supernatant in various groups. PT-PCR and Western blotting methods were applied to detect the expressions of FOXC2,DLL4 and Notch1 mRNA and protein.Results Compared with non-tranfected group and empty-vector group,the tube formation and the migration number of HUVECs in FOXC2 over-expression group were increased(P<0.05);the expressions of FOXC2,DLL4 and Notch1 mRNA and proteins were significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion The FOXC2 over-expression in MCF-7 cells can increase the tube formation ability and migration ability of HUVECs,and its mechanism may be related to Notch signaling pathway.

Objective: To discuss the application principle in tuina manipulation for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) in Chinese literatures published in recent 30 years. Methods: The three major Chinese databases, Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), were searched to collect the studies of tuina manipulations in treatment of LIDH published in recent 30 years. Clustering analysis was applied to analyze the top 20 tuina manipulations for LIDH. Results: The top 20 most frequently used manipulations for LIDH were Gun-rolling, Rou-kneading, Dian-digital pressing, oblique Ban-pulling, An-pressing, Tanbo-plucking, Bashen-pulling and extending, horizontal Tui-pushing, Na-grasping, Anrou-pressing and kneading, Dou-shaking, Yao-rocking, Ca-scrubbing, Pai-patting, post-extension Ban-pulling, Mo-rubbing, Zhen-vibrating, Nie-pinching, fist-back Ji-tapping, and dorsal Shen-extending methods. The involved manipulations can be divided into two categories by the treated body areas. One category is applied to the soft tissues, including Gun-rolling, Rou-kneading, Dian-digital pressing, An-pressing, Tanbo-plucking, horizontal Tui-pushing, Na-grasping, Anrou-pressing and kneading, Ca-scrubbing, Pai-patting, Mo-rubbing, Zhen-vibrating, Nie-pinching, and fist-back Ji-tapping methods. The other category is applied to bones and joints, including oblique Ban-pulling, Bashen-pulling and extending, Dou-shaking, Yao-rocking, post-extension Ban-pulling, and dorsal Shen-extending methods. Conclusion: Based on the treated body area, the tuina manipulations applied to treat LIDH are predominated by the ones performed on soft tissues, assisted by those on bones and joints. From the way of force exertion, the involved manipulations are majorly the swinging methods, followed by squeezing and pressing ones. The manipulations applied to bones and joints are predominated by the Ban-pulling ones, followed by the Bashen-pulling and extending ones.

OBJECTIVETo establish a rat model of blood stasis and heat accumulation syndrome in accordance with the Chinese medicine (CM) theoretic features.

METHODSThirty male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, and the danshen root group, 10 in each. Rats in the danshen root group were given danshen decoction at 13.5 g/kg by gastrogavage, with the volume of 20 mL/kg, twice daily for 7 successive days. As for rats in the normal group and the model group, equal volume of pure water was given to them by gastrogavage, twice daily for 7 successive days. On the 4th day of medication, carrageen at 50 mg/kg was peritoneally injected to rats in the model group and the danshen root group, once daily for 3 successive days. Twenty-four h after the last injection, 20% dry yeast suspension (10 mL/kg) was given to the rats by subcutaneous injection. The indictors such as body temperature, tongue figure, tail ecchymosis, skin color of the ears and four limbs, microcirculation indicators, and hemorheological indicators were observed 6 h later.

RESULTSCompared with the normal group, red and purple tongue, longer and thicker arteries and veins under the tongue, red and purple claw color, red ear flap edge, obvious ecchymosis of the tail occurred in rats of the model group (P<0.01), with obviously increased body temperature (P<0.01). The blood velocity of the microcirculation in the ear flap obviously decreased. The hemorheology tests showed that the whole blood viscosity (high, middle, and low), hematocrit, and erythrocyte electrophoretic time obviously increased, red blood cell deformation index obviously deceased, showing statistical difference (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the length of ecchymosis in the tail obviously decreased in rats of the danshen root group. The blood velocity score of the microcirculation obviously increased. The hemorheology tests showed that the whole blood viscosity (high, middle, and low), hematocrit, and erythrocyte electrophoretic time obviously decreased, red blood cell deformation index obviously increased, showing statistical difference (P<0.05, P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe rat model of blood stasis and heat accumulation syndrome established with carrageen and dry yeast suspension injection had obvious features, with good reproducibility and stability. It could be used in the study of CM basic theories, screening of Chinese herbs, and the theories of Chinese-drug properties.
