Chinese Mental Health Journal 2001;15(3):156-157
Objective: To investigate the relation between coping style and personality of patients with Graves disease. Method: Eighty two patients with Graves disease were assessed by Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Type A Behavior Questionnaire (TABQ). Results: The extroversive patients adopted more positive coping style than introversive patients did. Patients with higher EPQ-N score had higher score in negative coping. Those with Type A behavior had higher score in negative coping either. There were positive correlation between score of positive coping and that of EPQ-E, between score of negative coping and score of EPQ-N or score of Type A behavior. Conclusion: The coping style of patients with Graves disease is influenced by their personality.

Objective To study the effect of the mouse angiostatin cDNA gene transfecting into human liver cancer cell line HCC7721 on cell growth, cell cycle phase distribution, cell morphology in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo , and the mechanisms. Methods The gene fragment of mouse angiostatin cDNA was directly cloned into an eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) of the promoter CMV between the multicloning sites HindⅢ and XbaⅠ and confirmed the correct recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) angio through enzymatic digestion and gene sequencing. Then it was transfected into human liver cancer cell line HCC7721 with liposome, pcDNA3.1(+) as vecter control and liposome as mock control. After 30 day selection by neomycin G418, angiostatin expression at the levels of mRNA and protein in vitro were tested by RNA dot blot and FACS respectively. Cell morphology under was observed light microscope, made growth curves were made, and cell cycle distribution checked in FACS. Animal model was set up to study tumorigenesis in vivo of those cells transplanted subcutaneously in the right hind legs of nude mice BALBc. Microvessel density (MVD) was analyzed and angiostatin expression in the tumor tissues by in situ immunohistochemistry. Results The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1(+) angio was constructed Auccessfully. After selection of G418 for about 4 weeks there were macroscopic cell clones in the experimental group and vector control group, but no survival cells in the mock control. In vitro angiostatin were expressed in the experimental group, but not in the vector control. There weren't significant changes in cell morphology, cell growth curves and cell cycle distribution between the experimental and the control group. However, the nude mice experiment showed that tumorigenic capability of the experimental cells had been reduced greatly. Immunochemistry study showed that there were much less microvessels and conversely stronger angiostatin positive staining in the tumor tissues than in the control group. Conclusions Mouse angiostatin has no direct inhibition on human liver cancer cell line HCC7721 in vitro , but it inhibits effectively the tumorigenesis of HCC7721 in vivo , which is probably due to its inhibition on tumor angiogenesis in a paracrine path way.

Objective To investigate the potential value of VEGF-C targeted ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIO)molecular probe in specific detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)in a rat model using MRI.Methods The targeted probe was synthesized by conjugating VEGF-C antibody with amino modified USPIO.Cell counting kit-8 assay was conducted to as-certain the probe’s effect on the growth of HepG2 cells.Rat models with HCC were divided into two groups (targeted group with VEGF-C-USPlO and a contrast with USPIO)with 3 rats for each group at random.Pre-and post-contrast enhanced MR imaging with different time points of 0.5,1 and 1.5h was performed with an injection into caudal vein.The signal intensities of the tumor on T2 WI and T2 * WI were measured,and the differences of the signal intensities between pre-and post-enhancements or between both groups were analyzed.The iron particles within the tumors in two groups were confirmed by Prussian blue iron staining.The ex-pression of VEGF-C in HCC was proved by immunohistochemistry.Results The signal intensities of HCC on T2 WI and T2 * WI af-ter VEGF-C-USPI0 injection were decreased obviously with a minimum value at 1 h ,indicating a significant difference (P <0.05). However,those in USPIO group were decreased less without statistical differences (P >0.05).Statistical differences in signal inten-sity on T2 * WI after enhancement between both groups were also showed (P <0.05).Prussian blue staining results showed more iron particles within the tumor tissues in VEGF-C-USPI0 group,whereas less ones in USPIO group.Immunohistochemical results showed that VEGF-C was over expressed in cytoplasm and membrane.Conclusion VEGF-C-USPI0 molecular probes can initiatively target to the liver cancer in rat models with expressed VEGF-C,which may help to achieve the specific MR imaging of HCC,indica-ting a potential of the metastasis.

Purpose To investigate the serum prostate specific antigen( PSA)feature of high grade prostatic intraepithe1ia1 neop1asia ( HGPIN)patients,and the association of the number of cores positive for HGPIN on initia1 biopsy and the risk of cancer deve1opment in second biopsy. Methods 492 cases of patients with suspicious prostate cancer were schedu1ed for transrecta1 u1trasound prostatic biopsy with an 8-core temp1ate. In the first biopsy,186 cases of patients with PCa,34 cases of patients with iso1ated HGPIN( on1y one core invo1ved with HGPIN)and 13 cases of patients with extensive HGPIN( two or more cores invo1ved with HGPIN),64 cases of pa-tients with LGPIN,195 cases of patients with BPH. The va1ues of PSA were ana1yzed and compared within these groups. In patients with extensive HGPIN or iso1ated HGPIN we proposed a repeat 8-core biopsy after 6 months independent of serum PSA 1eve1. The same measure was app1ied for patients diagnosed as LGPIN or BPH in the first biopsy with accompanying increase or persistent e1evation of serum PSA 1eve1. The incidence of PCa was ana1yzed and compared within these groups. Results The serum PSA 1eve1s were no sig-nificant1y different between LGPIN and BPH(P>0. 05),between iso1ated HGPIN and LGPIN(P>0. 05),and between iso1ated HG-PIN and BPH(P>0. 05). The serum PSA 1eve1s were significant1y different between extensive HGPIN and LGPIN(P<0. 05),be-tween extensive HGPIN and BPH(P<0. 05),and between extensive HGPIN and iso1ated HGPIN(P<0. 05). In the second biopsy, the incidence of PCa in patients with extensive HGPIN was 38. 48%,that in patients with iso1ated HGPIN was 9. 68%,that in patients with LGPIN was 12. 50%,and that in patients with BPH was 12. 20%. Conclusions The features of PSA in patients with iso1ated HGPIN are simi1ar to BPH,PSA 1eve1 in patients with extensive HGPIN were between PCa and BPH,and patients with extensive HG-PIN have a higher incidence of PCa in second biopsy than iso1ated HGPIN and BPH.
