The correct rate of diagnosis was 80.9%. The accuracy in differentiating early gastric cancer from advancing gastric cancer was 87.5%. The correct rate for judging invasive depth of stomach wall by gastric cancer was 82.9%. It can also show the distinct ultrasonic features for gastric submucosal diseases.

Objective: To detect the localization of HBV DNA in kidneys of HBV-associated glomerulonephritis, and investigate the pathogenesis of HBV-associated glomerulonephritis. Methods: 45 cases of renal biopsy specimens (38 cases had glomerular deposition of HBV antigens, 7 cases were negative for serologic and histologic HBV antigens) were examined for HBV DNA by in situ hybridization (ISH) and in situ PCR (IS-PCR). Results: The positive rate of HBV DNA in renal biopsy was 71% (27/38) in patients with glomerular deposition of HBV antigens. HBV DNA was found in 19 cases (19/26, 73%) of HBV-associated glomerulonephritis; and in 8 cases (8/12, 67%) of IgA nephropathy and lupus nephritis with glomerular deposition of HBV antigens. HBV DNA was detected mainly in the cytoplasm of tubular epithelia with ISH; IS-PCR showed that HBV DNA was localized not only in cytoplasm of tubular epithelia, but also in nuclei of tubular epithelia, in nuclei and cytoplasm of glomerular epithelia and mesangial cells, and in GBM. Conclusion: Our study suggested the presence of HBV infection and replication in glomerular cells and renal tubular epithelia, indicating an etiologic role of HBV in HBV-associated glomerulonephritis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical usefulness of MR imaging(MRI) and MR tomography angiography(MRTA) in demonstrating the presence and degree of neurovascular contact of the rostral ventrolateral medulla oblongata(RVLM) in root entry zone of the 9th and 10th cranial nerves in patients with essential hypertension(EHT) and normotensive health volunteers(NTHV).Methods(Patients with) EHT(group 1,n=100) and NTHV(group 2,n=88) underwent high-resolution(axial and coronal) brain stem MRI and MRTA.Images were interpreted consensually by tow radiologists who were blinded to the patients hypertensive status.Neurovascular contact was graded as vessel contact without RVLM deformity(gradeⅠ),clear vessel contact in continuity with the brain stem but without apparent associated deformity(graded Ⅱ), and displacement contact of the RVLM(graded Ⅲ).Results(Neurovascular) contact of RVLM was found in 52.0%(52/100) of EHT and in 43.2%(38/88) of NTHV(?~2=1.459,P=0.230).The compression rate(gradeⅠ—Ⅲ) and affected side(left or right) showed no statistically significant differences between the EHT and NTHV(?~2=0.879,P=0.350;?~2=0.238,(P=0.628);?~2=0.733,P=0.390).Conclusion Neurovascular contact is not more frequently seen in patients with EHT than in normotensive contact subject.This result does no support the hypothesis that neurovascular contact at the RVLM is an etiology of EHT.Furthermore,thin-slice(3 mm) MRI may not be a reliable good screening method for detecting patients with neurovascular contact.Therefore,MRI cannot aid patient selection among hypertension patients lacking symptomatic cranial neuralgias.

Objective: This study investigates the biological effects and explores the molecular mechanisms of epigallocate-chin-3-gallate (EGCG) on the apoptosis of the human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. Methods: After treatment with EGCG, cell apopto-sis was verified by flow cytometry with Annexin V and propidium iodide staining, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, and transmission electron microscopy. The expression profiles of the apoptosis-related genes in the MGC-803 cells with or without treatment by EGCG for 12 h (100 μmol/L), was identified using SuperArray Human Apoptosis Gene Array. The upregulated Fas-L gene and down-regulated Bag-1 gene were confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Results: When the MGC-803 cells were treated with EGCG at 25, 50, 100, and 200 μmol/L for 24 h, evident sub-diploid peaks were observed. Under treat-ment with 100 μmol/L for 4, 8, 12, and 24 h, the number of early apoptotic cells was greatly increased. When the cells were treated with 100 μmol/L for 24 h, the DNA extracted from the cells displayed a characteristic ladder pattern with agarose gel electrophoresis. Typi-cal morphological changes were observed by electron microscopy, including cell shrinkage, karyo-pyknosis, and the formation of apop-totic bodies. The differential expressions of eight apoptosis-associated genes were determined by gene array detection. The results of Fas-L and Bag-1 selected for RT-PCR and Western blot were consistent with those of gene array. Conclusion: EGCG induces apoptosis in MGC-803 cells, which might be mediated by a number of specific genes and various signal transduction pathways.

Objective To study the effects of high albumin, high glucose and low bovine serum on the phenotypic transformation of renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods The normal human kidney proximal tubular eel] line (HKC) was cultured for 30 days in the presence of high albumin (1.5 g/L), high glucose(25 mmol/L) and low bovine serum(2% ) . Morphological changes were observed by electronic microscopy. Immunohistochemistry stain was used to examine the expression of cytokeratin, vimentin, a-SMA, collagen Ⅰ and TGF-pl protein. Western blot was applied to further detect the process of collagen I protein expression, and in situ hybridization was used to examined the expression of collagen Ⅰ gene. Results Renal tubular epithelial cells cultured in high albumin, high glucose and low bovine serum showed obvious morphologic changes, including elongated shape, decrease of microvilli and mitochondria, and increase of rough endoplasmic reticulum under electronic microscopy. Immunohistochemistry stain revealed the reduction of cytokeratin, and enhancement of vimentin, ?-SMA, TGF-?1 and collagen Ⅰ. Western blot demonstrated that the expression of collagen Ⅰincreased in a time-dependent manner, and in situ hybridization showed that collagen type Ⅰ mRNA increased as well. Conclusion High albumin, high glucose and low bovine serum induce phenotypic transformation of renal tubular epithelial cells into mesanchymal cells.

Objective: Cellular proliferate inhibition, senescence or apoptosis are induced by telomere shortening through the activation of P53 pathway, but so far, little is known of the mechanism. This study aimed to clarify the molecular regulation of P53 through telomere pathway by the investigation of molecular interaction between P53 and the main telomere associated protein telomeric repeat binding protein 1(TRBP1) in vitro. Methods: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) alone and 4 different human P53-GST fusion proteins were expressed in E. coli. and purified through glutathione Sepharose TM 4B by affinity chromatography, P53s were wild type P53 (1-393), N terminal truncated form P53 2C (95-393), C terminal truncated form P53 N5 (2-293) and single amino acid mutant P53 R175H (175 arginine to histidine). Glutathione Sepharose TM 4B, purified GST alone and P53 fusions were mixed with human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cellular protein extracts through in vitro binding assay-pull down, the molecular interaction between P53 and TRBP1 were detected by Western blot. Results: SDS-PAGE and Coomassie brilliant blue staining showed that the molecular weights of all the purified proteins were as expected and purities were over 90%. Western blot of TRBP1 showed that both wild type P53 and P53 R175H could bind to TRBP1 of MCF-7 cells, and their binding capacities are similar, whereas GST alone and Glutathione Sepharose TM 4B beads couldn’t. Compared with both of them, the interaction between P53 2C and TRBP1 enhanced dramatically, but between P53 N5 and TRBP1 reduced significantly.Conclusion: P53 can interact with TRBP1 directly and in vitro, C terminus of P53 (293-393) is the structural domain of their interaction. This C terminus domain dependent interaction between P53 and TRBP1 may be related to the cellular activities induced by telomere dynamic changing.
